"Both of you, stop there!"
Both Aiden and Kyle stopped walking as they heard Sanaya.
"We really don't know anything, please believe us."
Sanaya had already asked them and they meticulously lied to her but their words couldn't make her believe them.
"You guys stay with him all the time, there's no way you guys don't know about it." Sanaya walked to them. Thankfully Nick was asleep so she could ask his subordinates.
"Mrs. Davis, we really..."
"Please tell me... I can tell something is wrong and if I don't know what is it then I can't do something about it."
Kyle gaped at Aiden as she said so. Some days ago they were fighting to tell her and now, they were silent. Their hands were bound.
"Sorry, we can't really tell you."
"Why can't you? I am his wife, why can't you tell me then? I have the right to know."
"It's because..." Kyle could not finish her words when Aiden stopped him. Taking a step towards Sanaya he added, "We can't tell you about it but his cure is you. If you are with him then he will be ok. I can only tell you this much. Please don't ask us anymore. If you have any questions then ask Mr. Davis. Good night." With that, both of them left when she was sitting on the couch alone.
Everybody seemed to know something but nobody dared to open their mouth and she could not wait anymore. She walked upstairs to her room and closed the door she quickly called Mona.
"Hello, sis."
"Mona, you once told me that you used to be a detective before right?"
"Ahh yes, I did. Why do you ask? Sis." Mona questioned.
"I need you to find out something for me."
"Is it a murder case? Or a..."
"Nothing like that but you need to find it out as soon as possible."
"Ahh, ok sis. You just tell me what is it and leave the rest to me."
After talking to Mona, Sanaya was going to sleep. She was tired but suddenly someone knocked on the door. As Sanaya opened the door she was astonished.
"Wait, where are you taking me to?" She questioned.
Nick suddenly took her over his shoulder and started walking towards his room. "Nick?"
He didn't answer her. Getting in his room he closed the door by kicking it by his leg and walked towards the king-sized bed in the room. Sanaya remembered telling him that she was going to sleep in her room and he would do the same and he even nodded his head back then. This sudden move of his was confusing.
Putting her down on the bed he just got up and started walking towards the cupboard. Confused she asked him, "Why did you take me here?"
"We will sleep together that's why."
Hearing him she mumbled, "Sleep... Sleep together?"
"Yes."
'Sleep together. All of a sudden? No, he might have some....' she was indulged in thoughts when his husky voice pulled her out of her trance.
She stepped backward as she saw him stand before her eyes. Looking at the white shirt at his hand she questioned him, "What?"
"Wear this." He said.
"Why... Why should I wear your shirt? I am ok with what I'm wearing." Sanaya felt kinda proud of herself for wearing her cute pajama and long-sleeved shirt like she used to wear. Even after these months, it didn't change.
"You can move fast and relaxingly if you wear this." He added.
"Move fast... What... What are you saying..." Sanaya suddenly crossed her arms over her chest and took another step backward.
Nick could understand what she might be thinking of. Knocking his finger on her forehead gently he smiled at her. "What are you thinking of? I want your smell to linger on my shirt and I want to see you wearing my shirt. It'll make me happy, can't I want that much?"
Sanaya quickly took the shirt from his hand and then ran to the bathroom, not looking at him again. As she left Nick laughed, "Her reaction... My cute wife."
Sanaya was surely crazy. She could not stop biting her lips while looking at the mirror. 'What was I thinking of? Do I want him to touch me that much? He did not say anything wrong and every time I started thinking... Sanaya, Sanaya, what to do with you.'
Sanaya looked at the white shirt she was wearing. Right, what he just said echoed in her ears. A shy smile left her mouth as she coughed and walked out of the washroom.
Nick had a magazine in his hand when he was sitting by one side of the bed. She walked slowly towards the bed while glaring at him.
Nick was about to tell her something but Sanaya quickly blurted out, "Good night." And with that, she laid down on one side of the bed. She was hella nervous, she closed her eyes when biting her lips.
Hearing no sound coming from Nick when she thought that he might be sleeping already, Sanaya slowly turned around just to see him looking at her. As she was about to turn around again he quickly wrapped his arm around her tummy and pulled her backward, close to him. In no time she found herself close to him.
Sanaya opened her mouth to talk but she could not. Nick's voice interrupted her, "I missed you." She heard him.
Nick was moving his hand upwards from her tummy, she clenched her fists nervously as his hand stopped on her chest then it slowly moved to her shoulder. Sanaya felt his lips touch the back of her shoulder and then he asserted, "When you were gone, I used to check in your room. You were gone, your smell was no longer lingering in the room nor on the wall. I missed you so much but I could not call you, I could not see you even if I wanted to. Every day I used to thought I'd see you, I'd get to take you in my arms and never let you leave me again but..."
His voice startled. Was he sad? Sanaya turned towards him and looked at him. There were tears halted somehow at the corner of his eyes, she could see that.
"True to say, sometimes I got angry because I couldn't... I couldn't remember what did make you leave me all of a sudden. But now I know, I was a scumbag... Sanaya, can you forgive me? I..."
Sanaya suddenly put her hand over his mouth, he was startled. "Can you give me a week?"
As he nodded his head she moved her hand over his mouth and not letting him say anything he put her head on his chest, hugging him gently she said, "Say no more. Let's sleep now."
Nick kissed her head and hugged her back. 'I should not lose it but I ended up doing that then I will take me away from this room, I won't hurt you Sanaya.'
'A week. In this week, I must know what diseases Nick has, I must know what happened while I was gone and why did he cheat on me. If I find out you are acting just to get my forgiveness then I will never stay with you but... '
The night was passing slowly. Both of them had their own battles to fight now. Sanaya was still awake when he fell asleep soon after hugging her.
