Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Sarah decided to return to her room to think about it more deeply before anyone saw her current state which definitely didn't look all right.

Once in her room, Sarah immediately went to her chair, sat back there, closing her eyes, then sighed.

She had to stop pretending to be Michael's wife?

Actually, Mr Collins asked her to help Michael until the man regained his memory, and not when Mr Collins was finally allowed to go home by his doctor.

It was a plan that Sarah herself had devised while she was contemplating how long she would have to pretend like this.

Sarah then opened her eyes, her facial expression look troubled.

"Come to think of it, I've been pretending to be Michael's wife for over a month now," Sarah muttered under her breath, not expecting that time had passed so quickly.

At first, she really wanted to stop this immediately, she even made that plan because she couldn't stand being in the same room with her ex-husband.

Sarah had not expected that there would come a time when she would think this way, did not want to part with the man.

According to her, nothing at all has changed from her. She was still the old Sarah. Did the more than a month of cohabitation with her ex-husband make her change?

Well… Michael who now treats her really well, might be so much better off with Michael who is still her husband, and to be honest… She's happy.

She was happy to be spending time with Michael for a month or so, but… isn't it too soon?

Sarah's heart suddenly felt like someone was slicing her and hurting her, her eyes started to tear up.

This was the feeling she had felt before, when she found out her husband was cheating on her and just let her go.

Sadness when she has to be separated from the person she loves…

"Wait a minute! I love Michael?" thought Sarah, who managed to hold back her tears so she wouldn't fall.

The thought suddenly made her sadness immediately disappear just like that.

She loves Michael?

"You must be crazy! We got divorced!" mumbled Sarah immediately shaking her head.

She admits that she feels sad to have to part with Michael, but it's not because she still loves him! That's because… Ah, yes! Because this was too sudden and she wasn't ready for it yet!

Right now she was thinking about making memories together with Michael, doing what they had to do when they were married because there wasn't much they did when they were married.

It was rare to even see each other even though they lived in the same house because they were both busy working.

"Besides… if I love someone right now, that person must be Steve, right? He is on my mind and bothering me," thought Sarah, remembering Steve's reaction last night.

Sarah doesn't know if it deserves to be called love because she has no experience with it, Michael was her second boyfriend before she finally married him.

Come to think of it, her first boyfriend didn't last very long, maybe two months or so, so one could say that Michael was the only experience she had.

She should have dated a lot of men before deciding to get married. If so, she at least knew how she was feeling right now!

"Yes. I became like this because Michael is my ex-husband, maybe there are still feelings for him that haven't disappeared. I have to move on and think about Steve right now," Sarah muttered, looking like she had made up her mind.

After all, if she still loved Michael, she couldn't possibly be thinking about Steve, could she?

"I'd better think about this later!" Sarah thought then immediately stood up when she looked at the clock in her room and walked out of the room.

She has five minutes left before her scheduled surgery, and she hasn't eaten anything at the moment. Better to use that time to go to the cafeteria and get her a sandwich.

"But why didn't he come to see me? Is he busy? Or is he taking care of a patient?" Sarah thought as she walked towards the cafeteria. Every now and then Sarah smiled, greeting her co-workers who passed her.

Not long after, Sarah had arrived at the cafeteria, she then looked at the watch on her hand, it seemed she didn't have enough time to sit and eat there, she then decided to just order and stand there waiting.

While waiting, Sarah looked around her, as usual the cafeteria seemed full of people eating, but suddenly Sarah's gaze fell in one place when she saw a man wearing a doctor's uniform with blonde hair.

"Steve?" Sarah thought when she saw the man's hair and physique resembled Steve's. She really couldn't see his face clearly because there was someone sitting in front of him and blocking the man's face.

Sarah then took a step to the right and stuck her head out, trying to get a good look at the man's face, and it turned out that she was right. That's Steve!

"He wasn't busy but didn't see me? Is he that angry?" thought Sarah as she returned to her starting position and glanced at Steve one more time.

The man seemed to be meeting someone, Sarah couldn't see her face because the person had her back to her, but from her hair and clothes Sarah could tell it was a woman.

"Here's your order!"

Sarah immediately snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a voice from the cafeteria clerk, she immediately took her sandwich and smiled gratefully.

Sarah turned back to Steve who was talking with a smiling face and even laughed a little, making his face even more handsome. Sarah had to admit that Steve had a charming smile.

However, Sarah immediately turned around and left the cafeteria. She did wonder who the woman Steve was meeting, but she didn't seem bothered by it.

She was a little sad that Steve didn't come to see her as usual even though Steve did come to work, but Sarah immediately shook the feeling, she'd better leave Steve alone today and call him later.

After all, she also had surgery scheduled to do.

***

A woman wearing a white blouse with jeans enters a hospital, her tall stature and slim body make people turn to her once to see if she is a celebrity, the sunglasses she wears make people think like that.

The woman looked a little confused, tried to find something, then immediately stepped forward when she saw the directions to the cafeteria posted there.

"Why would he want to meet here?" thought the woman when she saw the atmosphere in the cafeteria was very crowded, her face looked a little displeased. She then lowered her sunglasses a bit and started looking for the person she wanted to meet. It wasn't too hard to find that person as she only needed to find a man with blonde hair.

However, it seemed that the man had not yet arrived. There was a blonde haired man in the cafeteria, but it wasn't the man she wanted to meet.

She finally decided to find a seat for the two of them.

After finding a seat farthest from the order counter, she put her bag on the table then pulled out her cellphone and sent a message to the contact she saved as Steve Brown.

[I've come here. I'm wearing a white shirt and sitting at the very back, where are you?]

While waiting for the man to come, the woman decides to look around her, her face looking restless. This cafeteria is too crowded, she just hopes no one recognizes her.

"Why hasn't he come yet?" thought the woman was getting annoyed, she looked back at the time on her cellphone screen, the man was already ten minutes late from the time set by the man himself.

The woman then sighed, then started to lift her cellphone and open her camera, to see her reflection.

Is her makeup right? Does she have to fix her makeup?

She didn't want to meet the man with a disheveled appearance, like she did this morning! It was a memory she wanted so badly to erase!

"Hey, did you wait long?"

The woman immediately lowered her cellphone when she saw the man she was waiting for finally came and was now sitting in front of her.

"What do you think? You decide the time to meet at two!" the woman said, her face looking annoyed. She didn't expect the man to be late at the time he set himself.

"Forgive me. I was really busy, right now I can't stay with you for long." The man then looked at the watch on his right hand, "Probably about ten to fifteen minutes?" he continued.

"Oh right, this is for you!" said the man then put a small bottle on the table. "It's a hangover cure, it won't cure you right away, but at least you'll feel better."

The woman was silent when she heard the explanation from the man, she looked at the small bottle, then looked at the man who was smiling at her.

Why is he so kind? He didn't have to do this to her. If he continued to act like this, her heart would skip a beat again for that man.

Ah, looks like it's too late, her heart has been beating so fast.
