Angela's POV
"Yes, I have to go abroad for four to five days in connection with work." His voice became tight.
I felt like he was worried when he said those words.
"No worries! Just be safe and come back as soon as possible after finishing the work. " I replied to him in a calm tone because I already sensed his anxiety.
But he became silent.
Seeing his voice not coming from the other side of the phone, I called his name.
"Erish! Are you there?" I asked and he immediately replied.
" Angela! Thank you! " His voice was soft and calming but I was confused when I heard his words.
"For what?" I asked him confusingly.
"For understanding me! " His voice was gentle.
And I blushed when I heard him.
"Now I have to disconnect the phone. I need to take a flight." He added.
"Okay, take care!" I said in a low voice.
"You too! " he replied and disconnected the phone.
For a while, I kept staring at the locked phone and then sighed helplessly.
To tell the truth, when he told me that he needed to go abroad, I was a bit upset in my heart, but hearing his nervous voice. My heart didn't want to discourage him or prohibit him from neglecting his work. so I responded to him calmly.
……...
It has been only two days today since he went abroad but It makes me feel like I have not seen him for too long or it had been years since I saw him last. There are still a few days left before he comes back. And these few days are too much for me. I don't know why I feel like this?
This is not the first time that he is leaving me and going abroad for work but even at that time, I did not feel the loneliness that I feel today.
I don't know why my heart is not favoring me this time. He has gone away from me only for four-five days but I feel someone has taken my soul away from me. I'm just missing him so much.
But thanks to my best friend who is always beside me these days when I am feeling so low and missing my husband like hell.
She spends more time with me even when she is busy with her work. I feel blessed whenever I see her. She is just like my soul sister who knows me more than me. In my childhood, I always prayed to God that I want a Little sister who can play with me and share a memory with me. But after finding her, I never wish for that anymore because my wish was already granted by God. We are not blood sisters but we are more than that. We are just like souls to each other which is inseparable.
These days, we went shopping, eating in restaurants, watching movies and chatting the whole day like old days. It feels like we crossed our college days again where we never left each other's sides. Those were the golden days for us.
And in this manner, the whole five days passed.
I am super excited for the next morning because he is going to come back home. And finally, my wait was going to end.
For the excitement, I could not sleep the whole night waiting for the next morning.
But Even after not sleeping all night, the next morning I had a blossoming smile on my face and my face looked nourishing.
I dressed beautifully and wore his favorite color dress.
"Angela, you are looking so beautiful today " mom complimented me.
I blushed and said, " thank you."
I sat on the couch and started waiting for his arrival. He texted me last night that he can arrive today. So, I check the flight time on my mobile. The plane has already landed and he can come home with his car at any time.
But a few hours passed like this and there was no single news of his arrival so I called on his phone and the call connected instantly.
"Hello! Madam " John spoke.
I thought he would pick up the call but His assistant's voice fell on my ear. So, I asked him.
"John, Where is Erish? I'm waiting for him at home!"
I waited for his reply.
"Madam, Actually we didn't make today's flight! " he explained.
"But why? " I asked in rage because Erish told me that he will arrive today then why? Why? didn't have him take a flight?
"Madam, don't be angry with boss. He really wants to take a flight but there is still some important work left to handle. so, the boss needs to stay here for two more weeks!" he said politely and tried to explain to me his boss's situation but I didn't want to listen anymore, my mind burst out of anger hearing those words already. So, before he could say more words in favor of his boss. I just said okay and cut the phone.
Now, I don't know what is more punishable for me, My waiting for him or his priority for his work more than me.
Tonight, I again didn't sleep and just started roaming around the room. Then I stood in front of the window and started looking at the black sky which shines with lots of stars and the moon too complimented them.
I was lost in the beauty of the sky when my phone vibrated and I knew whose message was coming.
It's Erish. From the day he went abroad, he texts me every night. He asked me if I'm okay and I replied to him each time, "Yes, everything is okay! You just take care of yourself! " We just write two same sentences each night to each other. So, I'm not surprised when he texts me again but this text somehow makes me confused because he never prefers to text me before marriage like this. Even when we are in a relationship he never calls me daily. He never asked me "If I'm okay? Because he thought I'm already happy enough! He just apologized for not making time for us every time.
I sighed helplessly and opened the inbox.
Today's message is different from other days.
" Are you mad? " he asked me in a message.
Seeing his message, all my anger vanished in just one second and my lips slightly curved, and a small smile passed on it.
But still, I didn't want to show him that I'm not angry anymore. So, I just responded.
"Yes "
"I'm sorry! I need some time to solve here's problem!" He instantly writes.
Seeing him apologizing, I just write "Hmm"
And again he texted me "Angela, I'm really sorry, please forgive me! " I can sense his seriousness with his words.
So, finally, I write to him " Okay, I'm not angry anymore! "
And he replied '' Thank you for understanding me and sorry for today."
"It's okay Erish" I text.
" It's already too late, so you go to sleep and I need to attend a meeting right now," he explained.
"Okay! I understand! Good night" I replied.
"Good night! He answered.
After he disconnected the phone. I started on the phone and then thought. What is happening to me these days, I really can not control my emotions at all. One second I'm so angry with him that I feel like a lost soul but another second his one gentle word is enough to lose all my anger.
