Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Michael immediately woke up when he heard a sound. He's always been the type of person to wake up from his sleep easily, making him always the first to wake up than Sarah.

This time, however, Michael can sense it was not the time to get up, and when he looked at the clock on the wall, it was two in the morning.

One thing that was also different this time was that his wife was not beside him, so Michael immediately got up and sat on the bed.

It didn't take long for Michael to find Sarah because his wife suddenly came out of their walk-in closet neatly dressed, not wearing her comfortable clothes.

"Wifey? Where are you going?" asked Michael, his eyes still half open and yawning occasionally. He seemed still sleepy but decided to wake up because he couldn't find his wife.

Sarah gasped when she saw Michael sitting on the bed with a sleepy look on his face.

He kinda looks adorable, but right now it is not time to admire that man's face.

"Did I wake you up?" Sarah asked, smiling guiltily. She had tried not to make a sound and quietly left, but she still woke Michael.

Still sitting on the bed, Michael shook his head.

"But where are you going? It's still two in the morning," Michael asked again, yawning.

Why did his wife wake up at this hour and change her clothes as if she wanted to go out?

"There's an emergency case! I'll go first!" replied Sarah hastily and then immediately ran out of the room without waiting for an answer from Michael.

Michael just nodded when he heard that and then went back to sleep on the bed, but he couldn't indulge his sleepiness for long because his eyes suddenly opened wide, the sleepiness immediately disappeared.

His wife goes out at this hour for work?

Michael sat back on the bed and sighed.

It had been a long time since his wife had been called so suddenly in the morning like this that he had forgotten about it.

But… still Michael didn't like it.

Even though they were already living near a hospital which only took about five minutes to walk, he didn't like his wife having to wake up in the morning like this.

He knew it was part of Sarah's job, but Michael didn't like it at all!

"Is there anything I can do?" Michael thought, forcing his brain to work on a solution to this problem.

But it seemed that because he suddenly woke up like this, his brain refused to work, leaving Michael unable to think of anything.

However, there was one thing he could do at this point, which was to get up, change his clothes, and wait for Sarah at the hospital to pick herup!

***

Once Michael arrived at the hospital, he decided to go inside and wait in the lobby.

He didn't know how long Sarah would be in surgery, so he didn't want to stand waiting outside like an idiot, especially since it was quite cold this morning.

While waiting, Michael tried to stay awake by playing a game on his cellphone, but it only lasted a moment before sleepiness hit him again.

He finally chose to close his eyes while opening them occasionally, who knows he might already be able to see Sarah.

An hour later…

Michael's facial expression, which had looked exhausted, immediately smiled when he saw Sarah who finally appeared and was walking towards him.

Michael immediately stood up and approach Sarah.

However, his forehead slightly lifted when he noticed the expression on his wife's face which looked unusual, it was not an expression of exhaustion, nor was it an expression of annoyance. It was the first time he had seen Sarah's expression like that.

"What happened?" Michael thought curiously.

He knew his wife very well, how she looked happy, tired, annoyed, Michael had seen it.

But this expression had never been seen before and it made Michael wonder what was going on.

Michael's curiosity grew when Sarah just walked out of the hospital without looking at him.

"Can't she see me?" Michael thought with a frown, but he quickly shook his head.

This wasn't the first time he had picked up Sarah when she had an emergency call and he was always sitting in the lobby.

After all… with his handsome extensions like this, how could his wife not see him?

"Wifey?" Michael called then touched Sarah's shoulder as he caught up with her.

Sarah looked back, her expression looked normal when she saw Michael

"Oh. You are here? Sorry, I didn't see you earlier," Sarah said quietly, her voice slightly trembling.

Michael's brows rose when he saw his wife's face up close, Sarah's eyes that usually glowed with light now looked blank.

"Did something happen?" asked Michael worriedly. Looks like Sarah went through something bad so that his wife looks different than usual.

"It's nothing, let's go home," Sarah answered quietly and then quickly walked back to their apartment.

Michael still looked curious and worried, but he decided not to force Sarah to tell him what happened.

***

"I'm going to the bathroom first," said Sarah when they both had returned to the bedroom.

Michael just nodded at that and then looked at Sarah who was walking towards the bathroom with a worried face.

All the way home, Sarah just kept quiet and kept looking ahead, she wasn't even interested in checking if there were still stars in the sky or not, the thing Sarah always did.

Michael then decided to immediately go to bed, waiting for his wife while sleeping.

Not long after, Michael heard that there was water flowing, it looked like Sarah was washing her face or maybe her hands.

However, Michael's expression immediately changed as the water continued to open even though Sarah had been in the bathroom long enough.

Feeling something was wrong, Michael immediately got up and walked to the bathroom.

"Wifey, is everything okay?" Michael asked, knocking on the bathroom door.

"..."

There was no answer, Michael only heard the sound of water flowing.

Without waiting any longer, Michael's hand immediately grabbed the doorknob and turned it, thankfully the door opened.

Michael's eyes immediately opened wide when he saw Sarah rubbing her hands under the water like a trance, her hands were even turning red.

Michael immediately approached Sarah and immediately turned off the water and held Sarah's hand, stopping what his wife was doing.

"Let me go!" Sarah shouted, pulling her hand violently then turning on the faucet again and starting to rub her hands.

Seeing this, Michael immediately did what he did earlier and this time held Sarah's hand a little harder.

"Let go of me! Let go!" cried Sarah hysterically.

"Wifey! Wake up! You hurt yourself!" said Michael.

But Michael's words didn't seem to reach Sarah's ears and the woman continued to struggle to be released.

Not wanting to hurt his wife, Michael decided to immediately hug Sarah, holding her in his arms.

"Let go of me" Sarah said still hysterically and tried to push Michael, but Michael kept holding Sarah tighter.

"My hand… my hand still has blood on it…"

Michael's eyebrows shot up hearing that. Sarah's hand has blood on it? Her hand looks fine.

Sarah kept babbling to let her go and push Michael.

Michael then let go of the hug and grabbed Sarah's shoulder.

"Wifey… wifey… Sarah!" Michael snapped at last as Sarah was still babbling and wanting to wash her hands.

Seems like Michael's yelling worked a bit because Sarah was no longer babbling and was staring at Michael.

"Your hand is fine. There's no blood! Look!" said Michael gently then took Sarah's hand and showed it to the woman.

"What happened?" Michael asked when he saw Sarah had come back to her senses.

Sarah didn't answer and suddenly her brown eyes burst into tears, making Michael a little flustered. Has he made a mistake?

Well… there's no way Sarah would cry because he snapped at her a little earlier, right?

Michael's hand immediately let go of Sarah's hand and pulled her back into his arms.

"It's okay… it's okay… I'm sorry," Michael said softly as he rubbed Sarah's back.

Instead of becoming calmer, Sarah's cries grew louder when she heard that, she buried her face in Michael's chest and wept as loud as she could, letting out the cry she had been trying to suppress, and her pain.

Michael was getting more and more confused by what was happening, but he kept doing what he was doing.

Right now, he could only hug his wife and try to calm her down.

Not long after, Sarah's cries were no longer heard and the woman slowly tried to free Michael's arms.

"Are you feeling any better?" Michael asked softly with a smile as he let go of the hug.

However, Michael's eyes still looked wary, in case Sarah try to do something again.

Sarah slowly nodded, she felt a little better.

"So… what happened? Can you tell me?"
