26: Lies

Ziyad would have asked the girl to walk on the beach but she was already sleeping. He just let the girl go, because she was still recovering from what happened to her.

He watched it for a few minutes. Studying every corner of his face, before he stood up and walked to the balcony.

He looked at the sea in front of him. The peaceful expression was once again replaced by a stern look.

It was more than three weeks ago when the caretaker couple called him. It said that they picked up a woman on the beach. Wounded and unconscious. It seems that his body floated until it landed on the island where their mansion is located.

He was about to tell the couple to call the police but he just saw the television show in front of him.

The capsizing of a yacht is in the news headlines. And when he saw the victim's name, he was shocked.

He asked his steward for a picture of the woman and that's how his chest thumped when he recognized her.

He immediately went home from the resthouse to take care of the girl personally.

Thank God, she survived.

He thought that there was a reason for what happened. That the waves carrying Precious's body to their island was an act of fate.

You're safe here with me, Precious, he thought while staring at the girl's face.

They were already sleeping next to each other, because that was the woman's request. Who is he to deny it? He also really likes that the two of them are getting close.

In the morning, Precious woke up alone in bed. His wife gets up early to exercise. He would also like to accompany her, but his body is not yet capable of it.

In the past few days a doctor has been coming to check on his condition. He also gave him medicine for his wounds. Because the wound on his face is so big, he thinks that medicine alone can't handle it.

He stared at his whole body for a long time in front of the big mirror.

He is fat. He also always says this to Ziyad and the man always answers that he is sexy. And so he was encouraged to exercise because he said that he likes to go to the gym and that he is also on a diet. But right now it's not possible. They say it's about two weeks.

He didn't want to force it because he also felt that he hadn't fully recovered yet.

He caressed his face. He carefully ran his finger over the big scar there.

He said he had an accident that's why he did this.

"Don't worry, babe. We're going abroad in two months, to meet a good plastic surgeon in another country."

Ziyad is back. It has also taken a bath.

It's also one of the things he's been wondering about for a few days. Why does he and his wife have their own rooms?

"Did something happen before my accident?"

Ziyad was surprised by his sudden question.

"Like what?"

"Are we going to be enemies? Or it's like we're going to separate. We're in different rooms."

"We will not be enemies and we will not be separated."

"Are you sure? Maybe you have another girl and then you plan to leave me."

The man just laughed. "Silly. Didn't I tell you that I love you so much."

"There were a lot of machines attached to you in the past. The doctor said it would be better if you roomed here first." Dang! He struggled, but he also seems to be an expert in lying.

"Since you're already okay, you can move back to our room."

"Okay." That's how fast his wife talks. He left the room and entered the room of his and his wife. It's bigger by a few square meters and it's also a lot nicer.

Precious approached the walk in closet, making Ziyad feel nervous again. Fortunately, the assistants he ordered arrived just in time. It was carrying the things he had bought from Precious.

"These are for me? Why are there so many?"

"You loose weight. You don't fit in your old clothes." Fortunately, he was able to think quickly, before his wife wondered and asked why he had so few things. He was able to go shopping two weeks ago, but for him, that was still a little.

"I'm that fat?"

"You just became healthy conscious. See if you like those."

He sat on the edge of the bed and just felt his head.

His assistant approached him shaking his head.

"What's up?"

"He's recovered, Boss."

He sighed and massage his temple while looking at Precious.

If only it could be forever without remembering. He knew that was not possible. The doctor said that sooner or later, the memory will come back.

I hope it lasts a long time, the man's dumb wish. Just now, he knew he couldn't bear to be apart from the girl anymore.

He stopped in his thoughts when he noticed the girl with her eyes closed as she rubbed her head.

"Babe, are you okay?"

His eyes were tightly closed, because of the pain in his head.

When he woke up, his eyes asked him to look at his wife.

"I went to the gym... At the mall?"

Damn it! The woman's question made him nervous. Do you remember this?

"Where is that?" Think fast. He was just insulted. It's easy to tell the truth but he really chose to give himself a headache.

"In Cebu, when we vacationed there."

"Okay."

It still touches his forehead. It is thinking and seems to be worried about something.

"What else do you remember?"

"No more.. That's all."

He thought he would be able to breathe easy today because the woman had another question.

"How many years have we been married, Ziyad?"

"T-Two years."

"Why don't you have a wedding ring? Why am I not wearing one?" The girl wondered as she looked at their fingers.

Ziyad stood up to take a small box from his drawer.

He took out a ring with a big diamond on it.

"This is our engagement ring." It even comes from his great-great grandmother.

"It's so beautiful, Ziyad."

He put it on the woman's finger.

"This is our wedding ring." The ring is surrounded by small diamonds.

He was stunned by the ring and just an image flashed in his mind, because he stared at the ring for a long time.

There was a man kneeling in front of him. He doesn't see her face. He looked at his wife smiling.

"You proposed to me on bended knees."

Dear God, please give me atleast one month or two to be with her. He silently prayed.
