"It's okay. Play with your dad " Katherine said and came out of the room.
She placed Sam's cleaned nightdress on the bed and came out of his bedroom. Katherine instructed the maid to prepare separate dishes for Adrian. She went to serve dishes on the dining table.
…
" Dadda...I want to tell you something…" Sam informed him.
" That plant fell on the floor in the morning because of me. I was scared to tell you as you were so angry.. But you shouted at mon " Sam confessed his mistake.
" She cried because of me after you left the room and also not had her lunch with us," he added.
" I am sorry daddy. .." He said with a sad face.
Adrian understood his mistake and said, "It's okay"
" Still… are you angry at mom? " he asked Adrian.
" No…" he replied.
" Will you talk with mommy? " he asked.
He remembered Maria's advice and nodded his head.
They played for more than fifteen minutes and came out of the bathroom. They got ready in nightdresses and went to have their dinner.
She served food for everyone on the plates. Maria asked Kathie to sit along with them for dinner. She called the maid to serve the food to everyone.
She quietly sat beside Maria and started eating the food in silence.
" Where are the morning dishes? " Adrian asked the maid.
" Someone doesn't want to eat it seems…" Maria mocked him.
" I don't want to waste food," he said and searched for the dishes prepared by Kathie.
Once he found the dishes, he served them by himself. He ate the food enjoying the taste. He didn't bother anyone watching him.
" Dadda...this is my favorite too…" Sam informed his father.
" Okay. Eat fast...let's go to our room " Adrian said and waited till he finished his food.
Before going to the room, Sam informed Kathie to come fast to sleep with them. Kathie looked at Adrian for a second and
smiled at him.
" Kathie...go and sleep. We have maids to take care of another thing. Your work is to take care of your husband and your son, " Maria advised her.
" I will never touch you again," she remembered the words he said in the morning.
After a while, Kathie went to their bedroom and noticed Adrian and Sam playing a video game.
" Sam... it's your sleeping time, " Katherine said in a serious tone.
" Momma...one game...please " Sam pleaded.
" Sam...please… listen to me…" Katherine said.
" Dadda...we can play tomorrow...Good night " He kissed Adrian's cheek.
" Good night, my champ" he greeted.
Katherine turned off the light in the room and laid at the edge of the bed. There was only a bed lamp lighting in the room. Sam slept between Adrian and Katherine on the bed.
As he has a habit of listening to bedtime stories, Katherine narrated a small story patting his back. In a few minutes, Sam slept hugging Katherine.
After Sam slept, Adrain took a pillow and sheet and stood up from the bed. He laid on the couch and turned to the opposite side. He covered him with the sheet and closed his eyes even though he didn't get any sleep.
For the first time, she experienced the taste of rejection of anyone. She remembered how she tried to ignore him many times. She hurriedly walked to the bathroom. She opened the shower and stood under it. Her tears mixed with the drops of the water under the shower. Her sob mixed with the noise of dripping water from the shower. After one hour, she came out of the bathroom wearing her nightdress. She dried her hair and went out of the bedroom taking her mobile.
She was feeling so lonely so he made a call to Ruby. Her network was busy. So she dialed her best friend, Martin.
" Hi...Martin.. How are you?" She asked as soon as he attended the call.
" I am fine. But I missed your wedding celebrations, " Martin said.
" I miss you at my wedding celebrations, " She replied.
" I am coming tomorrow morning. I will come to meet you and Sam. I am missing him so much, " Martin said.
" Okay. Good night. Meet you tomorrow," she said and disconnected the call.
She turned and found Adrian was standing behind her. She didn't expect him. He was looking at her with suspicious eyes.
" You knew Sam would cry in sleep. Still, you left him alone on the bed and came here to talk secretly with someone " he said.
" I am not talking secretly with anyone. I don't want to disturb your sleep. So I came here to talk with Martin, " she explained.
" Remember one thing, my son must be your priority, not others. If you can't become a good wife to me, at least become a good mother to my son " he said and left the place.
She was shocked to see a new side of Adrian. His every word pricked sharply in her heart. She wiped her silent tears and walked to the bedroom.
" From now on, you sleep on the couch after my son sleeps. I will sleep with him every night " he ordered.
She laid on the couch and covered her body with a sheet. She turned to the opposite side to hide her silent tears.
Slowly she drifted to sleep while crying.
…..
Adrian woke up in the morning and found his son cuddling him.
He kissed him and got ready for the morning workout in the gym room. Before leaving he noticed the dry tear marks at the corner of her eyes.
" Am I behaving so harshly to her ! " He questioned himself but he ignored what his heart wanted to tell him and walked out of the room.
After some time, she woke up with a severe headache as she cried late at night. She completed her chores and woke Sam. She brushed his teeth and bathed him.
" Mommy ..where is dad? " he asked Katherine.
" I don't know, " she replied.
" Okay. I will search for my dad" Sam ran out of the room and Kathie followed him.
" Hi….Sam…." Someone called opening his arms.
" Uncle ...Martin…." Sam ran towards him with a bright smile.
