Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry for taking off our wedding photo," said Michael who accepted Sarah's explanation.

Sarah breathed a sigh of relief when Michael believed her excuse which seemed plausible. She then looked at Michael and her expression immediately changed when she saw the man's expression which looked… sad?

No, it was not sad, more like disappointed. No, it was not like that either. This was the first time Sarah had seen Michael's expression like that. She didn't expect the man to show such an expression.

"What's the matter, Michael?" asked Sarah, subconsciously holding Michael's arm.

"Do… Do you remember anything? Let's sit first," she said then pulled the man to sit back on the sofa.

Sarah's face now looked worried. She was indeed happy that Michael's memory might have returned, but on the other hand, she had not thought about what she should do when Michael remembered everything.

What should she tell Michael?

How should she explain this situation?

"That…" Michael said, hanging on to his words. His current expression was hard to describe.

"That…?" Sarah said, repeating the man's words.

"I can't remember it. I'm sorry, Sarah," Michael said then turned to Sarah. The expression on his face looked guilty.

Not only did he taking off their wedding photo, but he also couldn't remember where he put it. Michael was feeling really bad right now.

Sarah looked surprised again. Did Michael just apologize? The man had indeed apologized to her when they were still dating, but after marriage, she never remembered Michael apologizing to her.

This felt really weird, and Sarah didn't know how to respond to that.

"Sarah?" called Michael when Sarah was silent. It looked like Sarah was really mad that he stupidly taking off their wedding photo.

"It's okay, Michael. You don't need to apologize," Sarah replied, trying to put on a smile.

Michael didn't  need to apologize? That bastard didn't need to apologize?

There was so much Michael had to apologize to her for, but the man didn't need to apologize for taking off their wedding photo, because in the first place, she and Michael were over!

"You are currently sick. You don't have to force yourself to remember it. It's just a wedding photo," Sarah said, trying to comfort Michael who was still putting on a guilty expression on his face.

Yes, it was just a photo, a photo that had no meaning anymore.

Michael, who had been trying so hard to remember where he put the photo, finally nodded his head. Thankfully, Sarah seemed to understand the situation and wasn't angry anymore.

"Then, I'll go get my clothes first. I can't keep wearing these clothes," said Sarah, who was looking for an excuse to get out of this apartment for a while.

The apartment still looked the same as she remembered it, and… Sarah didn't think it would be so suffocating to be in this place with her ex-husband.

She needed to get some fresh air and get away from her husband.

"Let me…"

"No need! You seem exhausted. I can call a taxi," said Sarah. She immediately rejected the offer.

Actually, Sarah couldn't drive a car, she lived near the hospital and could get to work by walking, so Sarah never had any intention of buying a car and chose to save the money.

"No, I'm fine!" said Michael insistently. He then stood up from his place and walked to get his car key.

Sarah tried to restrain herself from showing an annoyed expression and cursing at Michael. The man seemed unable to read the situation that Sarah wanted to be alone.

"Okay then, my apartment is near the hospital," Sarah replied with a smile and then came out with Michael who had walked first.

***

Once in the car, Sarah was lost in her thoughts again. Could she do this? Living together with her ex-husband in an apartment that still looked the same as three years ago?

"This is all for Mr. Collins. I will hold on until Mr. Collins performs the surgery," thought Sarah. She had made up her mind.

So far, there was no definite treatment for amnesia patients. Although this sounded cruel when others heard it, but Sarah hoped Michael's memory never returned when she was still pretending to be the man's wife.

'Wait a minute. Then, he'll keep remembering we're still married?' Sarah thought. She did not want Michael to keep thinking they were still married couples.

'But… I can just dump him, right? Like he did to me back then. I won't kill him, but I can make him feel the pain I felt at that time,' thought Sarah, suddenly feeling excited.

She would make Michael love her more, and when the man was head over heel for her, she would dump him. Even though it wasn't worth what Michael did to her, it was enough to lessen Sarah's annoyance at him.

Sarah's mood became a little better. She then decided to look at the scenery outside the window, but her forehead immediately wrinkled.

"Michael? Where are we going? This is not the way to the hospital," Sarah said, turning her head to Michael.

"We don't have to go to your place," Michael said. He glanced at Sarah with a smile on his face.

Since they were in the car, Sarah had been silent and seemed to be thinking about something. Maybe the woman was still annoyed with the wedding photo matter, but she didn't say it, understanding his condition that was still sick.

Hence, Michael decided to do something to boost his wife's mood.

"Then where are we going?" asked Sarah who was surprised and starting to look a little panicked.

Michael didn't drive her to her house, then where would this amnesia patient take her?!

After Sarah thought about it again, she didn't do further checks on Michael's condition. She just knew the man seemed to be able to do his daily activities normally, and  thought that he was still married to Sarah.

Michael didn't answer and just smiled mysteriously, making Sarah even more panicked!

"Quickly tell me where we're going or stop the car and drop me off!" Sarah said firmly after looking around her which was quite safe.

"Calm down. You will definitely..."

"Michael! I'm serious!" said Sarah again firmly.

Michael looked at Sarah in confusion before finally letting out a sigh.

"We're going shopping," Michael said, finally telling her where he was taking Sarah.

"Though I wanted to give you a surprise," he muttered under his breath while pursing his lips.

Seeing Sarah who seemed to be in a bad mood and looked exhausted from working too hard, Michael wanted to make his wife's mood better, and shopping was the best way to make women happy, right?
