Chapter 4
"Hello Isabella Cloe speaking from Mr.Hunt's office." I received the call.
"Isabella there has been slight problem in the venue." Dona replied in hassle.
"What happened?" I asked.
"The event manager ran from high sugar level.He won't be able oraganize the celebration party." She sighed.
"Well.....We should arrange new organizer asap."
"Well honey you know how picky is Mr.Hunt he won't approve any manager in such a short notice and party is in two days." She exclaimed.
"What do we do then?" I kept my other hand to massage my temple.
"Maybe you should take the lead." She muttered.
"As in organize the party?" I shouted.
"Yes? And you know every single detail about Mr.Hunt he wont be able to point the flaw."
"Ok....ay... Let me inform Mr.Hunt." I cut off the call.
Knock! knock!
"Come in."
"Mr.Hunt there has been some chaos in event venue.The event manager is hospitalized due to high sugar and Dona suggests me to be there to manage the event." I said.
"Dona the event assistant?" I nodded. "Are you paid to fill every other person that cannot do their job efficiently?" He half yelled making me flinch.
"The illness was uncalled." I sighed.
"He had to careful for uncalleds.I need you here." He voiced.
"I will be here in few hours."He looked at my direction with amusement.
"I want it to be perfect Mr.Hunt.It was one of your dream project and I want it to be best whats so ever the situation occurs." I was all determined mode.
"You never fail to surprise me Bela you know that."He stood up from his chair pulling me into embrace.
"What would I do without you."He whispered and placed light kiss on my temple making me chuckle.
Suddenly there was clearing of throat."Am I disturbing something?"Why does she have bad timing.
"Umm-umm I was about to go to four seasons."I shuttered.
"The event venue?"Alexia asked and I nodded.
"Why?" She glared at my direction.
"Well I have to be there for arrangement the event manager is hospitalized." I answered.
"Then let's go together.I must also see how the plan is going." She clapped her hands making way towards Mr.Hunt.
"Bye love."She kissed his cheek making him step back.
His face was full of disbelief. "Stop it Alexia." vHe hissed.
"What?" She asked.
"Don't pretend everything is good between us Alexia and don't you dare act out of jealousy." He barked.
Ouch!
"Let's go." She dragged me with her.
'Bye'I mouthed and he replied the same.
"Miss Assistant, What are you doing?Look the flowers he set are so dull.Please change these too." Alexia barked again for nth time.
For last six hours she has gone bull all over the place.The entire location is almost re-decorated according to her preferences.The white curtains are changed into red.The orchid are changed to lilies.The foods are almost unknown to my knowledge.I hope she does not mess mess with it.Celebrations are for free food.Does not she get it?
And here I am going up and down, right and left without a pee break.What does she have on me? I rolled my eyes and sigh for the mercy.
"Ma'am Mr.Hunt would not appreciate the changes.He is very picky about everything."I tried making her understand.
"Who is the wife here....Miss Assistant?" She glared with all the hatred towards me.
"You..."I replied.
"Wrap those gift then."She shooed me from her sight.
"Why is she so mean?"Dona whispered.
"I know right." I chuckled. "Let's just hope she doesnot ruin everything." I sighed and made my way to pack the gifts.
"What the hell is going on here?" The voice came from the front door and I hasseled to run towards the door.
"Who did this?" The voice again roared.
"Honey it's me.I changed a bit of decoration-" Alexia was interrupted by Xavier.
"Who told you to change it?Is this some ballroom party?For gods sake it is business party and not some glittery garbage."Xavier yelled again making everyone suck the air.
"I want everything back to original and according to Isabela."He gritted his teeth.
"Everyone heard it just right then get back to work.Now."He looked busted and who would not have be if he had pain in the name of wife.
"Bela Please follow me."He said almost like he whispered.
"Why didnot you pick my call?"He asked with lots of concern as if the man who bossed everyone outside was almost gone.Almost.
"The cell phone was at my purse and I don't know where I kept it?"I replied as I sat down on the nearest couch taking off my heels.I swear my feets were sore.I started massaging it gently.
"You must stop wearing heels at work." He pointed. "Does it hurt?" He asked taking my feet to his lap massaging it slow with his hand.
"Yeah. A little." I answered but I knew if I stood half and hour more with the heels on I would collapse.
"Liar." He chuckled making me smile. "I knew Alexia would be giving hard time to you all and you did not even ansered my call so I had to come to rescue you." He smiled.
"Aww my lovely angel."I pouted.
"Lovely?"He srinked his eyebrow in amusement just to see my nodding.
"Lovely huh?Take your words back or I will not stop tickling your feet." He started tickling my feet making me laugh.
"Stop....Stop Lovely... angel."
"No."
"Okay.. Okay..Stop my angel. "Suddenly he stopped and looked through my eyes.His whole attention was undividedly on me or may me the word I said?
I called him mine? But he is not. He is still hers to claim. I could feel whole storm of emotions in his eyes.As if he was analysing what I said.
I cleared my throat. "I-I should leave."I stood up to my feet.
Not walking a step later I was feeling dizzy.My surrounding were spinning and-and everything started going black.
When everything seems dark and you have no where to run at that moment you see a ray of light.
A charasmatic aura that is dragging you there. A place called heaven would feel similar to that light. A place where pain ends and never ending happiness begins. I was approaching the same land. I was running fast to reach it.
But suddenly you are dragged down by many forces. You hear someone pleading to open your eyes. You hear the pray to get back to life. You hear the cry to be alive.
And I know this voice.I know it belongs to the person I love the most.He is the one to whom my heart belongs.He is the one my soul craves for.He is the one... who is father to my unborn one.
I then feel the urge to go back to life. To him. For him. I have to be there by his side. I tried opening my eyes and move my body.I wanted to stop him from mourning. I wanted to console him but every try was going on vein.
"Miss Cloe can you hear me?" I was shaken.
"Can you see us?" She asked again.
My eyes were blinded by the bright light and I tried my best to adjust.
"W-water." I whispered.
"Here." Xavier hurried to pass me water.
"How are you feeling Miss Cloe?" The doctor in whute coat asked.
"Dizzy." I whispered.
"Did you know you were pregnant?" She asked again and I nodded.
I turned my head towards Xavier and his face was full of confusion.
"Well then you are nine weeks pregnant and the stress you took over might be the cause you fainted." I nodded.
"We will proceed for your ultrasound then?" She asked.
"Please do." Xavier ordered looking at me like he is about to kill anybody he sees.
"You are pregnant?" He questioned right after the doctor exit. "And you did not bother telling me?Who is the father?" He demanded.
I remained quite not a word to utter.My heart was pumping so loud in fear.
"I asked who is the father?" He banged his hand on the table.
"I-don't know." I whispered.
"You think I'm idiot?" He glared. "I know you are not careless enough to get knocked by anybody or are you?" His words were painful enough to kill me.I shook my head.
"Then tell me Bela who is he?" He took my face to his hands contacting eye to eye. It had raising fire on it.
"Y-You." I whispered.
"See that simple." He said making me confused.
"I'm going to be father Bela.I'm going to have child with you." He cheered and hugged me tight.
My eyes were full of tears and I was sobbing in his arms. "You knew?" I asked.
"What?" He asked me again.
"That-That I was pregnant and with your child.You were drunk that night." I said lowering my head.
"It was too real to be dream Bela and I had your number in the call log and when I went back to bar next morning to pick my car the manager said that you picked me up.I had my doubt that you were pregnant when I hugged you and your increase in weight and your.... yeah everything has gone a little big." He chuckled and I slapped on his arms.
"I thought you did not remember." I complained.
"Why would not I?That was the best night of my life. Moreover I'm going to be father after that night.I'm elated." He laughed.I could feel once angry eyes were full of happiness and love.
"But you are married..." I whispered.
"Does is look like it matters?" He spit. "You and the baby is more important for me right now.I don't give a damn about others." He clenched his fist in assurement.
I wish it would be the same till end.
