Noah led her to the guest room and opened the door. "You can use this room. It has a washroom as well."
She nodded, only to hear him again, "I’ll get you a pair of clothes."
She humd, and he left, only to return in a few minutes. He put the folded clothes on the bed and said, "These are my clothes. Manage with them for a while. I’ve ordered clothes for you—they will be here soon. Leave your clothes in the bathroom. I will send them for cleaning," and left.
ira gave out a sigh of relief and headed to the washroom with everything. When she returned, she was wearing those oversized clothes—Noah’s T-shirt and pajama.
As she looked at herself in the mirror, she thought, How big he is. Two of can fit in these comfortably.
There was a knock on the door. She opened it and found Noah there. "Co out for dinner."
ira realised she was truly hungry. Though embarrassed in those clothes, she went out anyway. ’I should have energy before the worse starts. I hope I can return ho soon, so he won’t find a trouble.’
Both of them ate together. ira didn’t feel like eating much, as all her focus was on returning ho.
"When is my clothes arriving?" she asked, "I would be late to return."
"Ms ira, I have inford Mr Aiden that you are here," Noah replied, focussed on his al, "And you won’t be able to return tonight. There is a traffic accident due to sudden rain."
ira looked towards the grand wall size window and found it was raining a lot along with the scary lightings in the sky.
"Then...."
"You are staying here tonight. I will take you back ho tomorrow morning," he replied, seeing her hesitation. "You can use that sa room for the night. If you need anything, you can find here in the drawing room or the room opposite to yours."
ira could only agree to it as there was no other way. ’I will just sleep and make through it quietly.’
Once finished eating, Noah resud his work that he left before going to look for ira to her university, while ira headed to her room.
After her failed attempt at sleeping due to the terrible cramps she was feeling, ira got out of bed. She wanted so warm water to drink, as she felt cold and her throat was dry.
Careful with slow steps, gently massaging her belly, she walked out of the room, groaning lightly from ti to ti.
I hope he’s sleeping.
She saw the drawing room was dark and felt relieved that Noah had gone to his room. Now she was free to stop hiding her condition and walk like the weak and sick person she truly felt like.
A figure was standing in the dim light by the glass wall of the flat, looking outside. He sensed a movent and turned around, only to see ira heading toward the kitchen—which was open and visible from the drawing room.
In the dim light, ira found the kettle and checked for water to heat. But just then, the kitchen light turned on, and she looked at the man standing by the switchboard.
Did I make any sound to wake him up?
Noah walked toward her and asked, "You want water?"
She nodded, and he filled the kettle with water and set it to heat for her. Then he offered her the glass and quietly observed her pale face.
ira felt so much better just holding that warm glass in her cold palms—as if she could hold on to it the entire night.
"Thank... you..." her voice was weak.
"Are you alright?" Noah asked.
She nodded, but her expression betrayed her. As she finished drinking the water, Noah took the glass from her and said, "You don’t look well..."
Just then, ira felt like she might lose her balance, but Noah held her. She stood, resting her head against him, and finally said, "I feel terrible."
Noah carried her back to her room and placed her gently on the bed. "I’ll call the doctor."
"There’s no need. I’ll be fine... by tomorrow..." There was uncertainty in her voice.
He covered her with the blanket and checked the temperature in the room. It was normal, but she was still cold.
"I’ll be back in a while," Noah said and left the room.
ira could think of nothing but the cramps she was feeling at that mont.
Noah returned after a while with a bag of warm water to place on her belly. She gladly accepted it—this was exactly what she needed.
Noah then moved to the foot of the bed and lifted the blanket off her feet. She flinched, wondering what he was doing.
"If you wear socks, you won’t feel so cold," he said, and put the socks on her feet himself.
He then offered her a dicine. "This will help with the pain."
ira took the dicine quietly. All she wanted was for the pain to stop so she could finally sleep peacefully.
Once she settled into the bed, Noah said, "If you need anything, call ."
She nodded, and he left.
He is so caring. Always takes care of ... even better than my nanny, ira thought as she closed her eyes.
The next morning, she woke up and felt better. Freshening up, when she ca out, she saw Noah preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
"Good morning," he wished her.
"Good morning, Mr. Noah," she said and heard him say, "There is a bag on the centre table. Clothes for you."
She checked the bag and found everything she needed. She felt a little embarrassed to see there were undergarnts as well, but then it wasn’t the first ti he had gotten her clothes.
She returned to her room with the clothes and put on that simple and elegant knee-length violet-coloured dress, which fit her perfectly.
It’s beautiful, she thought and went out again.
As both of them had breakfast together, Noah was ready to leave for the office while ira was ready to go to the university.
Before leaving, Noah called her, "Ms. ira, I need your sign on these papers."
ira looked at the file in his hand and nodded. He put it on the table and offered her a pen to sign it.
"What is it?" she asked, ready to sign it.
"Divorce papers," he replied.
Her hand, which was holding the pen, froze midway before she could sigh. She looked at him, only to et his gaze.
"Ms. ira, back then I told you that our marriage in the eastern country is not counted here, but still, we have to go through the procedures so in future there’s no trouble for you," Noah said without any hesitation. "It’s just a simple formality. Nothing much."
ira simply nodded as she lowered her gaze and quietly signed the papers, but she knew that for so reason, she felt unsettled.
After it was done, Noah put the papers in his bag, and then both left the ho.
He dropped ira at the university first and then left for his office.
Standing at the entrance gate of the university, she watched Noah’s car disappearing from her sight.
A perfect man like him would never want soone imperfect like as his wife, she thought as her eyes turned a little moist, but then she inhaled deeply to compose herself and entered the university gate.
