He Only Married Me To Show Her That He Already Moved On

"Ma'am Madi, you're back? 

I smiled to the maids who opened the front door. 

"Where is your Sir Gabr-----"

"Madi!"

My words were cut by Nancy's voice coming from the wide staircase. She's running her way towards me. 

"Thank God, you're here!" she hugged me tightly and pulled me to the couch. "Madi, you know I like you, right?"

I gulped with her words. 

"And I seriously want you to be my sister in law. I want you to know this. I've never seen Gab cried to any woman before, not even with Stacey when she left him. I've never seen him so devastated, Madi. And this is my second time I saw him in this situation." she hold my both hands. "He loves you, Madi. He loves you so much, and I saw how he became lifeless when you're gone. He doesn't want to go out, he doesn't want to socialize and talk to anyone. He always locked himself in your room."

"In my room?"

"Yes, in your old room, that he started to occupy the day you left him. He became an empty soul Madi, not knowing what to do and completely lost his direction in life. He searched almost every country in America just to find you. And when he saw you in Colorado, he never wasted any second to fly back and to see you again."

She looked at me with half-smile and tears were started to flow in her cheeks. I bite my lips to control my own tears, but I failed when I saw her eyes with a silent pleas. 

"I love my brother, Madi. And it hurts me to see him like that. That's exactly what he did three years ago. He was so excited to see you and to share to you the news, that Stacey's child was not his. But when he realized that you already left him, his world suddenly crushed down on his feet, Madi. He always came home drunk, he always slept drunk. And alcohol became his bestfriend and companion by that time."

She paused as she wiped her face. 

"I'm sorry for telling you this, but I can't see him anymore in this situation Madi. Please, if you still love my brother, forgive him Madi. I know-----"

She stopped and we immediately stand when we heard the sounds of glass being shattered. We both shared a panic look and about to run when we heard someone's voice from the kitchen. 

"What happened?"

My eyes snapped from the owner of it. "Martin?"

"Babe?" but when he looked at Nancy, "Ohh.. Madi?"

If we're just in a different situation, I'm sure I am now rolling on the floor and laughing so much on Martin's horrified face. But instead, I run immediately upstairs and the two followed behind me. I saw Elsa in the hallway and her eyes widened in realization, but I don't have enough time to greet her. 

"Gabriel? What happened to you there? Opened this door!" Nancy tried to bang and turn the knob, but it's being locked inside. 

"Elsa, please get the spare key----" I didn't finish my request when she takes my arm and put the three keys in my hand. "Thank you." I said giving her a smile. 

I unlocked the door with the key on my hand but before I could push it, Nancy tapped my shoulder and gave me a pleading smile. I nodded and took a deep breath, before I finally twist the doorknob

I gasped and my hand automatically lifted to my mouth to control the heavy sobs that wanted to come out from my lips. It's too painful and it almost choking me. Hysterical tears blurred my vision immediately as I closed the door behind me. 

I wasn't ready for this. The room was a total mess and completely ruined that you can't be able to call it a room anymore. Clothes, pillows, empty bottles of wine and beers were all scattered on the floor. And there were also broken glasses and bottles shattered everywhere. The whole room smelt strongly of alcohol and tobacco. Since when did he learn to smoke? 

I can no longer see the image of my old room in my head. I slowly walked in tiptoed to avoid the shattered glasses. The flat screen tv was no longer hang on the wall but one of the things that you can now put in the junkshop. I roamed my eyes and tried to find him, but I can't see him inside. Then I heard a muffled sounds inside the bathroom. 

I pushed the door gently, and my handbag dropped on the floor as I felt my knees buckled, by the scene that came to my view. I found Gabriel seated at one end of the bathroom, leaning his head to the wall while hugging a picture frame in his c.h.e.s.t. His one hand is still holding a bottle of beer. 

He didn't seem to notice me, because he continued to bring the bottle to his mouth while he's still in closed eyes. I don't know how many times I took a deep breath before I slowly walked closer to him. I wiped my tears using my hands as I felt my heart melt with his current condition, rumpled shirt and ruffled hair, probably because of his mannerism of brushing them up. 

I kneeled in front of him. 

"What are you doing here?"

I gasped when he suddenly asked me. So, he noticed that there's someone watching him? An he knew it was me. He was about to bring the bottle again to his mouth but I snatched it from him. 

"That's enough, Gabriel. You're drunk."

"Give it back to me." he said but he didn't move from his seat. 

"No! Why didn't you go to your Australian meeting? I thought you're missing and I was so worried. Why didn't you inform me?"

I asked as I take the frame from his hold, but I was stopped when he opened his eyes and looked at me. 

They were bloodshot and looked restless. He now has a beard and moustaches of imposing length and his cheeks were covered with dried tears. I bite my quivering lips to control the sobs that wants to lose from my throat. 

"Shhh..." he lifted his hand and wiped my tears with his knuckles. "I'm sorry if I made you worried. What are you doing here?" he asked me with a half and sad smile. 

"What are you doing to yourself?" I asked him back with a blurred vision. "Why are you locking yourself here? You're not even calling me or sending me some messages?"

"Because you said you wanted to breathe."

I was left speechless. 

"It kills me every time I typed your number and then I remember what you said, that I'm caging you and I am too possessive towards you, so I stopped myself and to give you enough time to think what you feel for me. I love you so much Madi, and I don't want to lose you. I can't afford to lose you again. So even it breaks me, I asked for a divorce papers from my lawyer."

I closed my eyes as I felt the pain from each of his word. 

"I want you to be happy because that's what I promised to myself when I saw you again."

"I-I'm sorry." I blurted out in the middle of my small sobs. "I'm sorry for doing this to you, I'm ------"

"Shhh." he stopped me by putting his forefinger on top of my lips. "Don't say sorry love, it's my fault. I just love you so much, that when you're gone, it made my life a living hell. And when I found you again, I promised to show the love and care that you deserve. Because those are the things that I didn't do before and I regret for not showing you my feelings. That's why I tried to be on your side every day, always showing myself to you, but because of that, I didn't notice that I became too much possessive, and that I am now suffocating you in this marriage."

He paused and closed his eyes. 

"Gabriel..."

"I'm willing to give you everything, Madi. Including the divorce papers and all the time to think. I won't call you..." I started to shake my head. "..I won't send any text message."

"No!"

"I won't disturb you."

"No, don't do this?" I take both of his hand, and that's when I saw who's on the picture that he's hugging ever since I entered the bathroom. It's me and him in front of this house, it was our wedding picture that he put in the frame. And a painful sobs escaped through my lips when I saw him in tears. 

"I already signed the divorce papers and asked my lawyer to send you a copy. And I'll just let you file it in the court---"

"What are you talking about?" I cut him off as I raised my voice and he looked at me. 

"You haven't received the copy yet? I'll call again my lawyer---"

"No!" I continued to snap at him. "That's not what I mean! You said you don't want us to divorce? You said you don't want me to let go and you can't afford to lose me again? Then why did you ask for another divorce papers?"

"I don't want to let you go! I love you but if it's the only thing for me to show you how much you mean to me, and not to see you in tears again just like this, I'm willing to do it, Madi. And I won't hesitate to give it to you!"

"No! You're f.u.c.k.i.n.g bastard! How dare you telling me that you love me, but sending me a f.u.c.k.i.n.g divorce papers?"

I saw the shock that flashed through his eyes, but I ignored it. I roughly wiped my tears as I stand up and walked to where I dropped my bag. I get the envelope inside and take the paper out from it as I walked again to him. He doesn't mutter any word, he's just watching me and crunched his eyebrows when I stand right in front of him. 

"Is this what you're talking about? This bullshit divorce papers?" And right there and then, I tore it in pieces, with tears racing down my face and tossed it on the floor afterwards. 

"I'll just contact Mr. Dioson for another copy." he said as if he's not even affected with what I did. 

I kneeled down again and lifted his chin by my fingers. 

"I love you Gabriel, and I'm sorry for asking you this divorce papers again. I'm sorry I wasn't thinking that time. I've realized that I was being selfish and all I was thinking was my feelings, that I've been hurt. And because of that, I also didn't notice your efforts, your works and all the things that you're showing me just to make me feel how much you love me. Whatever happened between us then, was not your fault. We clearly talked about your deal, but I fall in love with you."

I paused and looked directly on his eyes. 

"But I'm now ready. And I want you to know, that I love you and your possessive way. The way you want to protect me, your care and your love. I love all the things that you do, and I don't want you to stop."

When I didn't hear any response from him, I sighed loudly and closed my eyes. 

"If you're going to let me go this time, you'll never see me anymore in your life. I'll forget you and I----" those words were died inside my throat, when I was suddenly pulled by two strong arms. And a warm and soft lips brushed over mine in a long warm kiss that left me short of breath. 

"Huh!" I gasped for air when he pulled back. 

"Say that you love me." he said cupping my both cheeks with a smug smile playing on his lips. 

"I love you."

"Say it again!"

I crunched my eyebrows but I say it again in a loud one. 

"I love you, Mr. Wilsons!"

And he pulled me into a warm and bone-crushing embrace.

"I love you too, Mrs. Wilsons." he kissed me on my forehead and I looked up at him. 

He gives me a sweet smile before his eyes darted on my parted lips. He brushed it with his thumb. And my eyes automatically closed when he lowered his head and his smooth lips finally captured mine. He kissed me in a passionate way that made all my insides melt. 

He pulled me closer to him and I put my arms around his neck as I kissed him back with the same passion he's giving into that kiss. Then it goes deeper.  He pulled me more to him. His lips were seeking hungrily and searching for more response, as his hands started to roam over my back and down to my spine. 

And I felt his warm lips kissed their way to my jaw, down to my neck and across my shoulder. He g.r.o.a.n.e.d when a small m.o.a.n escaped through my lips and he immediately pulled back. We're both catching our breaths as he connect his forehead with mine. And a blush instantly crept my face when I realized what was supposed to happen. But he just chuckled and cupped my cheeks when he noticed it. 

"Marry me."

I blinked my eyes repeatedly as my mouth hanged with what he said. 

He smiled, the one that showing his cute dimple. 

"I don't have a ring right now, but I promise to give you one later."

"But we're already married." I said not looking away from his eyes. 

"I know, but this time I want it for real. No deal, no negotiations, no plans and no ex-fiancee involved. This time I want it to be you and me alone. Would you give the honor to be your husband and to be the only man who could able to kiss you.." I chuckled. "..for the rest of our lives?"

I take a deep breath and cupped his left cheek. 

"Yes. I want to marry you without anything and anyone involved. It's just you and me. And I also want to be your wife, the one and only woman you would kiss until you get old." I paused and changed my facial expression into a serious one. "And the woman that would chop your precious jewels when you tried to cheat on me!" I playfully narrowed my eyes on him. 

"I would never do that and I love my precious jewels." he pulled me into a hug as he laughed so hard that echoed inside the whole bathroom. 

After that bathroom confession and proposal, I let him take a bath and clean himself as I also cleaned the whole room outside.
