Claiming Back My Ex-Wife

ALEXA.

“I see. I wonder what kind of emergency meeting he got. It’s still so early and the staff not going to be there as early as that. Is he going to talk to himself or what?” She said and laughs.

“Can you not think negatively about Elijah? Who knows maybe he told all his staff to be there early. It is not possible right?” I look at Thea and I heard Thea mumbling something under her breath. “pardon?”

“Nothing! Let’s just keep eating. You make the best pancakes ever. I love you.”

"Thea, me and Elijah already married like two years, and we're just fine. We both happy with our life. Why can't you be happy for me? I'm your best friend. Don’t you want to see me happy?" She sighed and then look at me.

"I'm sorry Alexa. It's not like I don't want you to be happy. It just that I think he's not the one for you. I just know," I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"What do you mean he's not the one for me and you know?" I ask her.

"Listen Alexa, all this time Elijah cheated on you behind your back. You’ve been staying at home and you don’t know what your ‘lovely’ husband do behind your back," I am surprised when she said that.

"Thea! Why are you talking about? Why would he cheated behind my back? He loves me and he told me that last night too. I trust him with all my heart that he is not sleeping with another woman beside me," My anger is rising right now.

"I know you won’t believe me when I said this but I'm not lying. I saw with my own eyes. Please believe me. He's not a good man. Last few days when I walk to the mall, I saw him and I'm very sure it's him in the car with a woman. I even open my eyes as big as I can to see clearly." I look at her disbelief. How can she say like that to my husband? Elijah? With another woman? Nonsense!

"This is all bullshit! I can't believe you, Thea. You're my one and only best friend that I have. How can you accuse my husband like that? Why can't you accept that I'm his WIFE! I didn't ask for anything Thea, I just ask for you to be happy for me. That's it! It's not that hard. Where’s the prove that he was with another woman in the car? Where?!" I burst into anger and she looks at me.

“I-I forgot to snap a picture but Alexa, I'm being serious. I swear to you that I'm not lying. I saw him and this is not the first time I saw him with another woman. I even saw him walk into the hotel with another woman too... I swear. Believe me please.” She holds my hands.

"I don't want to hear anything from you right now. I want you to get out of my house now." She really makes my anger boost. My mood already not that good because Elijah didn’t have a breakfast with me and now, this woman who I thought my best friend, accused my husband doing shitty things behind my back.

"Ale-"

"OUT!!" I yelled.

"Fine. But I will prove it to you that everything that I’ve said was all true. That time, you’ll see and don’t worry, I will always stick with you after that," With that, she walks out and I heard the door being slammed so hard.

I close my eyes and sit on the chair. I put my head on the table.

Why my only best friend act like that? I can't believe this. How can she accused Elijah cheated on me? There's no way he could go out with another woman. He just tells me that he loves me last night.

That's the proof to show that he loves me. He won't do that to me and I think Thea was mis looked my husband with another guy. I believe Elijah. Even though my heart trying to believe what Thea had said, It is very hard to do so.

After Thea go home, I called Elijah and I smile when he answer it. “Hello Alexa, what’s wrong?” He asks.

“Elijah, do you hate me?” I ask directly.

“What’s the sudden question?”

“Just wondering because you were quite cold to me this morning and the fact that I cannot meet you for a few days, makes me uneasy. That’s why I decided to call you,” I said to him.

“I don’t hate you Alexa. Now, I have work to do. Can I call you later?”

“Sure. Take care, I love you,” I said.

“Love you too,” With that he hangs up the phone. I feel a bit relieved to hear it from him. So, everything Thea said is not true. She might take a wrong look someone who looks like my husband.

Just when I’m about to go sleep, I decided to go downstairs and drink some water first. I walk downstairs and this house feel so empty especially when I am alone in this house.

It is better to have children so that this house will feel more alive than now. I look around and think about doing some arrangement to the furniture since it’s been years since we actually change it.

It should be better to change because I got bored to see it just like that in the same position for so long. Even Elijah understand about it and he always agree with me. I walk to the refrigerator and open it to take a bottle of water.

I drink it and then after I’m all done, I walk back to my room but when I ‘m about to step on the stairs, I can hear the front door being unlock. My hear suddenly beating so fast. What if there is a thief?

I slowly walk to the door and ready to hit the thief if anything happen. When he door open, I saw Elijah who still in his suit as this morning and he look surprised to see me there with a vase in my hands.

“What are you doing?” He asks closing the door.

“I thought there was a thief trying to get into the house,” I said and out the vase back to it place. “I thought you said you’re going to London?” I ask and we walk to our bedroom together. I am happy that Elijah actually home tonight.

At least, I can cuddle with him tonight and not going to miss him that much.

“I’m going tomorrow. I just remember that I need a few clothes and some files from home,” He said and I just nod to show that I am listening to it. “Why are you still awake?”

“I’m about to sleep then I feel thirsty, so I went down to drink some water,” I explain and he seems not listening to me because he is busy with his phone now. I walk to him and try to give him a goodnight kiss.

“Just go to sleep, Alexa. I’m busy,” He said stopping me from doing it and he left the room and maybe go to his office.

I am left there and so confused. What’s wrong with just give me at least a peck of kiss before go to his office. It’s not take that much time. I thought. I decided to brush it off and off to sleep.
