The sound blasted through the speakers and Sasha jumped up in shock, she looked at the man towering over her and with the music still loud, she figured what he had done and her eyes welled up. Michael looked at her coldly and walked up the stairs without glancing her a second look. Sasha picked up the remote and turned off the television. She sat on the couch and sobbed silently.
Days later, Sasha received a call from her mother, asking her to bring Michael to dinner that night "mom, I don't know if he is going to free, he been kind of busy lately."
"Why won't he be free? We have never have dinner with you guys since you got married, he can't refuse that. Just tell him, we will be expecting you guys. Bye" Angelica hung up.
Sasha sighed and stared at her phone, Michael has not spoken to her again since the day of the incident. He seems to be engrossed in his rule of her not talking to him and it seems worst now, before he will occasionally drop a few words to her and even engage in a discussion sometimes even if it is to spite her but he hasn't even said another word to her, he practically behaves as if she does not exist so how is she going to ask him to dinner?
She heaved a sigh and decided to still give it a try, she got home that day to see his car in the garage, he is back already? She thought before climbing out of the car, she went inside the house but he was not lying in his usual couch, she went upstairs to their room and opened the door, she was greeted by a cloud of smoke, he seems to be smoking a lot this days, she thought.
Sasha walked up to Michael in the balcony where he was standing with his hand in his pant pocket and the other holding a cigarette stick close to his mouth, he seemed to be lost in thought as he stared into space "mother called me" she noticed him flinch and knew he was now with her and so continued "she asked us to join them for dinner tonight."
The tall man standing before her acted as if she was just talking to an empty air, he brought his fingers to his mouth and took a long drag from his cigarette before puffing it into the air "I told her you might not be free, that you seem busy these days but she refused to listen. She said that we have not have dinner with them since we got married and it's true, so I'm thinking if you can spare the night and let's go over there just to make it up to them" Sasha added but Michael still remained silent without gifting her a glance. He took the last drag from his cigarette and tossed the butt on the floor before stepping on it, he turned and walked past her into the room.
Sasha followed him and he walked into his walk-in closet, he emerged with a towel on his waist and walked into the bathroom. Sasha sat on the bed to wait for him, maybe he agreed since he was taking his bath, she concluded.
Michael walked out of the bathroom and into his closet, he came out again in his pyjamas and laid down on his side of the bed, Sasha was shocked to see him like that, what is going on? Why is he sleeping? "Aren't we going to the dinner?" She asked him but he pretended not to hear her "mom is waiting for us" she continued "it will be wrong if we don't go."
Michael groaned when she wouldn't stop talking, he got up from the bed, got his laptop and sat on the bed, his back resting on the headboard, he switched on the laptop and started working. Sasha watched him and knew that what his silent way of telling her to shut up. She got up and left the room. She called her mom in the living room "hi mom."
"Hey baby, are you guys on your way?" Angelica asked on the other side of the call.
"No mom. Michael is being delayed in a meeting, he just called me now to tell me and he said I should ask you if you can reschedule the dinner? He really wish he could go though but the directors insisted they must finish the meeting because it has to do with their current project. I'm so sorry and he said I should send his apology too" Sasha bit her lip as she lied to her mother with a straight face.
Veronica was silent on the other side that Sasha had to call on to her again before she spoke "okay then. We will have it next time, you dad will be going to Florida tomorrow because of that business I told you about so it will have to be when he comes back then."
Sasha could sense from her voice that she was not happy and she sighed "I'm really sorry mom, if you want I can come, I'm basically alone now and in other not to waste the food, I can come over."
"No it's okay, stay over and prepare something for Michael, he will be really tired and famished if he should return now and it will be wrong if he should return and not see you at home, it's okay."
"I'm sorry mom."
"It's alright darling, send my regards to Michael when he returns."
"Alright mom, good night."
"Goodnight my pumpkin" Angelica hung up.
Sasha sighed and looked at the phone, she turned to walk back upstairs and she received the shock of her life, Michael was standing on the staircase and his face looked scary, his eyes seems to be questioning her 'why lie with my name?' Sasha gulped and after she steadied her breathing, she said to him "there is no other way to explain our absence, I just have to do it. It's wrong enough that we won't be going so I have to give them a good reason for that."
