"Is everything set?" Aisha ask hunter."Yes,I already set up everything. You will be able to monitor them through this phone." Hunter handed him a smart phone.
"Will you be able to trace them on your computer as well?" Caleb asked.
"Yes. In case you lost that phone, I can still track them." Hunter explained.
"Thanks hunter.." Aisha sighed in relief. Caleb look at her.
"So how"s Ethan?" Caleb suddenly asked her.
"He"s good." She indifferently answer while cleaning her gun.
"So how are you two doing? Have you talk to him already?"
"We don"t have time to talk. He comes home late and I go to work early.."
"Haha.. or should we put it like this; you always go home from work early so you could sleep before he comes home---- oh,wait! Or should we say you pretend to sleep? AND, you rise up early just so you can avoid him.. ?"
"Tsk..! What are you? Caleb the soothsayer?" She joke.
"But seriously Aisha, are you going to ignore him for life? It has been a week. Do you think you can live with him like that forever?" Aisha didn"t answer.
"Do you think it helped you? Let me ask you,what did you gain from avoiding him?" Suddenly, Aisha receive a call from Lisa.
"Yes?" She answered
"Aisha! It"s Ethan! He was rushed in the hospital!" Lisa stammered.
"What?! I"m coming!" Aisha hung up then she rushed to the hospital where Ethan is. She saw Larry outside the room,
"What happened?" Aisha"s eyes are full of worry. The door to the VIP room opened. A guy came out.
"I"m sorry but who are you?" Aisha asked.
"Stacy, my name is Clint. Your husband"s bestfried. We met before. I guess you have forgotten about me.." Clint offer his hand. Aisha received it.
"I-I"m sorry. I have a short term memory." She smiled hesitantly. "But how is he? Can I see him?"
"Yes of course, You can go inside but he is still unconscious for now.."
"W-what happened?" She ask Clint as they entered the room.
"Well, how could I explain to you how foolish your husband is?" Clint caresses his temples. "The thing is, he was so upset coz you haven"t talk to him for a week now. You"re not even answering his calls. He set up many surprises for the whole week yet you never showed yourself even ones. This morning he decided to go all out. He hired the whole restaurant and he tried to decorate it himself. I told him to let the staffs do it instead but he insist to do it alone. That was when he slip his foot then he fell down from the window. He bang his head and injured his arm." Clint explained all the details.
"What a stupid man!" She cried. A tear escaped her eyes. Clint look at her expression then he smirk.
"Seems like my plan is working..." He thought to himself.
"But is he okay? Did he damage his brain? Can he walk?" She ask him.
"Uhm.. that depends on what the doctor will say. He is still under observation though.. the doctor will see you in a while."
"O-okay.. thanks for your help though. I"ll take it from here." Aisha answered then she walk past him to sit beside Ethan. She inspect him from head to toe. He has bandages on his head, his arms was surrounded by cast.
Clint exited the VIP room. He look at Larry and showed him a thumbs up signal.
"It"s working!" Clint whispered. Larry laugh.
"Let"s see the doctor then.." Clint continued as they stride to the doctor"s office.
***Aisha doesn"t know what to say or do. She"s blaming herself for what happened to Ethan. If she was not selfish enough, he shouldn"t be hurt by now. If only she knew, but its too late.
"I"m sorry Ethan. I never knew this will happen. I don"t hate you at all. I can"t hate you even if I wanted to. I was mad when I saw you with that woman. But then I realized, I don"t have the right to claim you coz you were never mine in the first place. I don"t want this feeling anymore. So I"m doing my best to avoid this if I can"t control it." She sobs as she mumbles those words.
"Please wake up. Don"t make me nervous Ethan.." she continued. Her eyes were close while her tears kept flowing. Suddenly, a hand was wiping her tears. She openned her eyes.
"Ethan! " She exclaimed.
"I"m sorry honey. I"m sorry for making you cry." Ethan said with a broken tone.
Aisha sob even more. She shook her head as she hold his hands.
"I"m sorry. I just cant bear to see you mad at me." He explained. " I better die than to lose you, AGAIN." suddenly Aisha hit him in the head.
"Ouch! What was that for?!" Ethan was surprise.
"That"s for your stupidity! Why do you have to do stupid things that could cause your life,huh?!" She yelled at him as if he was a child.
"Do I have a choice? I have to do it since you"re avoiding me for a week now!" He yelled back.
"Now its my fault?! Who told you to kiss that woman in front of me,huh!?" She was upset.
"I didn"t! She was the one who force herself to me. I was trying to avoid her.." he explained. Aisha pouted.
"Look, I"m sorry,okay.I never loved her---"
"But she likes you!" She pouted. Ethan laughed. He pulled her close to his chest.
"But I love you. Only you." He bend to kiss her lips. " You don"t have any idea how I miss you so much!" Then he hug her tight. She embrace him back.
"Ahem ahem!" Clint was standing at the door as well as Larry and Lisa. "I guess you don"t need me anymore bro. Time for you to repay all my efforts." They were all laughing. Aisha crease a brow as they all entered happily.
"What"s the meaning of this?" Aisha was puzzled.
"I"m sorry Stacy,. I rejected them but they were so persistent. Caleb even joined force with them!" Lisa explained. Aisha suddenly look each and everyone of them, then she glared at Ethan.
"So, you mean--- ALL of these? Everything was just a show?!" She yelled at them then she hit Ethan"s stomach. She held his casted arm and forcely remove his head"s bandage. He"s fine. He doesn"t have any wounds. Once agin, he glared at the smiking Ethan.
"I hate you!" She"s about to leave when Ethan held her arm and pulled her back. He embrace her.
"I"m sorry. You left me with no choice!" He laugh. Everybody in the room laughs with him except Aisha as she pouted in annoyance.
FLASHBACK:
"That"s a stupid idea, Clint! She"s too smart to believe such a fake drama. Do you really think she will fall for it?" Ethan exclaimed.
"Bro, we have to at least try. As you can see, your efforts for the week were all wasted!" Clint laugh at his bestfriend. Ethan sighed.
Ethan was lost in his thought. Indeed, Stacy has been avoiding him lately. He never had a chance to talk to her,not even in their room coz Stacy was deep in sleep when he gets home. Sometimes, she sleeps at Eli"s room. Agreeing with his bestfriend"s idea would be his last shot.
"Don"t worry man,.leave it to me." Clint a.s.sured him. He sighed.
Yesterday, Clint spoke to Lisa and Caleb about it. they agreed knowing that Ethan has been doing everything he could to reconcile with her wife.
Faking Ethan"s accident was orchestrated by his bestfriend Clint with the help of Lisa, Caleb and Larry. After seeing how the husband and wife reconciled, they tapped their shoulders for the job well done.?
