4th CHAPTER

Third Person's P. O. V

It was late at night when Nate got home to his condo, because they didn't know the time. Even his work forgot that he still had something unfinished.

He wanted to refuse his friends but they forced him because it was also The last birthday they would be with The friend because he was leaving the country the next day.

He's just half-drunk. It's not easy to get drunk. When he opened the door of his condo, he was welcomed by darkness and deathly silence.

His forehead creased as he scanned the whole place. It's like he's condo back to it's old-time when his wife hasn't arrived yet.

He turned on the light and scanned the place once again, he looked at the kitchen but there were no people.

He hurriedly walked to his room and turned the light on, only to be disappointed by its quietness and emptiness. The bed was still neat and well-arranged How they left it earlier. He didn't see a trace of anyone lying down or moving on it.

'Where is she?' in his mind.

It's impossible. It didn't enter the condo because he gave the wife a spare key so that it could enter easily.

He immediately took the cellphone from the pocket of his slacks, pretending that there was a call or text from his wife but it was all about work. Its unread messages.

He tried to call his wife but unintended it.

Napapaisip sya. Does his wife's mad at him because they haven't had lunch together before?

But his wife is not that shallow. What is the reason why his wife is not here?

Maybe she was tired of coming to his place especially since the hospital where her husband is the CEO is also far away. He tried to convince himself that I hope that was the reason.

He immediately took a bath and got dressed.

He fell down on the bed and stared at the kesame, before he shifted his gaze to the part of the bed where his wife lay last night. He stared at it for quite a long time like his wife was just right there lying beside him.

He didn't want to admit it but he was also used to always being with his wife and sleeping next to him. She is used to someone hugging her every night. He is also used to always doing things that only his wife can do.

Deafening silence now enveloped the whole room so he got up and went out of the room to drink water. He is no longer used to his former quiet life, he used to hear the silly laugh of his wife, And her words of wisdom.

'F*ck! where the hell is she? ' he shouted in his mind. And messed up her hair.

He went back to his room and lay down again. Lie down, tilt, lie down, what kind of position He did just to sleep but, he failed.

The next morning he woke up, and he felt like he hadn't slept yet, I think he was only asleep for an hour.

He immediately took a bath and got dressed. He'll just wait for his wife this lunch break because he knows it will come later.

A dark ring-like under his eyes was visible. It's a sign of lack of sleep. When he was tying his tie, he immediately remembered his wife.

'Did I fix it right?' he asked in his mind. While looking at the tie already tied. "Whatever." He just said that.

He easily reached his company and finished the job he left yesterday.

The time and lunch break easily passed. He waited for the wife to come. He waited patiently. But.

Lunch break's over but his wife didn't show up. So that's where he wondered.

He left the office and went to his secretary.

"Brenda, didn't Ellesa get a visit today?" He asked the secretary.

"I'm sorry sir. But ma'am Ellesa didn't come here." Sorry girl.

"But yesterday sir he came here with food for you, in case you don't have it so he just gave it to me." His secretary's long litany. He rested deeply and hoped to climb back inside his office. Maybe it bothers him.

"You know sir, yesterday ma'am looked sick. Her voice is hoarse and it's almost gone. And her face is red. I feel sorry for her, there's no joy on her face. Although she's smiling. this, you'll know for sure. " That caught his attention. His secretary is also talkative. But from what he heard he wanted to regret why he left yesterday.

"Brenda, can you clear all my schedule this afternoon. I just want to check Elle if she's ok." I ordered.

"Ok sir."

He hurries to the hospital where Ellesa Ang manages.

When he arrived at the hospital, he immediately went to his wife's office and met his secretary.

"Where's Ellesa?" He asked immediately.

His forehead was furrowed, and he seemed confused.

"I'm sorry sir, but he didn't come in today. He was still gone yesterday. The last thing he said yesterday was that he was going to see you because he wanted to celebrate his birthday with you." His secretary answered.

"Birthday?" None of his own he said.

"Yes sir, it was his birthday yesterday. Didn't he come to you?" Feeling in the woman's voice that it was starting to get nervous.

"Shit!" He curses hard. And he hurried to his car.

Birthday? Her birthday yesterday? But why is he ignorant? Why doesn't he know his wife's birthday?

'Why didn't she tell me?' 'He asked himself confused.

But the big question in his mind is where is the wife now.

His chest throbbed loudly. There's only one place on his mind, and he's hoping that his wife will be there.

When he reached the house that Ellesa's father gave them, he immediately went inside because he had a key to it. The inside of the house is dark because the curtains are still closed.

"Ellesa." He called the woman.

But no one answered, only the echoing sound of his voice could be heard. He checked the kitchen but the wife was not there. So he went up to the second floor and went to the room where the wife always stays (The room I hope they get married).

As he opened the door, the loud creaking sound of the door was the only one who break the silence inside the house.

The room was dim because of the thick curtains that still hang-close blocking the light from the sun outside.

He turn on the light and scan the room. His sight settled on the figure of a human right under the thick blanket.

He immediately approached it and looked to see if it was really his wife.

He tore the blanket and saw his wife's face.

"Ellesa." He calls here. But it did not wake up. He was immediately nervous. But Ellesa doesn't want to wake up?

He applied the back of his palm to its neck and was shocked because it was burning with fever. Scorching The heat that comes from it.

"F*ck! Ellesa wake up." She's waking up here. But he got no response. It started to panic.

"Ellesa. Please wake up. F*ck it. Wake up Ellesa." He shook it.

She rested when Ellesa moaned. But it's still not enough for him to be complacent.

He immediately picked up Ellesa. And run to his car.

"Elle hold on. I'll bring you to the hospital." He said as he hurried into his car. He didn't close the main door of the house.

As soon as he got into the car, he fastened Elle's seatbelt and drove the car to the hospital.
