chapter eight - Your My Wife and I'm Your Husband

Mandy's POV

A loud knock resonated on my door making me wake me up from my sleep. I looked around and saw that I was still in my clinic. I did not notice I fell asleep while doing some paperwork.

Mark entered my room. Looking at me, a different kind of look was plastered on his face. Making me feel like he was assessing me.

" M, can you go to our patient's room? The staff tried hard to calm him down but he wouldn't budge at all. He keeps asking for you. Can you see him for a moment?" He asked..

"Huh? Then how can I calm him down? I don't even know who he is!" I told Mark honestly.

" I can't answer your questions. But for now can you go there? Maybe your presence is enough for him to calm down!" He told me and I winced looking at him. How can he think such an absurd thing? Can my presence calm him? If yes, then how?

"Ok let's go!" I decided to go since I don't want to argue anymore.

We both walked out hurriedly. While on the way to his room, I tried to calm myself down. Truthfully, I am nervous as hell! Because I don't know how to calm him.

Why does he have to look for me? I had done research about him on the internet. And it shows how great a womanizer he is. He changes girls like he changes his underwear.

Then why me out of all those women who desperately want him. They are more beautiful and sexy compared to me.

We arrived outside his room and my hands were shaking vigorously. I don't get nervous easily but, now this is different I guess today is an exception.

As I opened the door and went inside his room. The scene in front of me made my eyes almost run out from it's socket. Alexander was trying to fight all the nurses that came to help. He even pulled off his I.V and I shook my head in protest. I hurriedly went to his side to stop him.

"What are you doing?" I asked him as I stopped his hands from doing exactly what I was seeing.

He then turned his attention to me. His eyes lingered on me for a moment and then suddenly he lunged at me. He engulfed his arms around me making my body pressed on to him.

" Where have you been? I've been looking for you! You told me you will come back but you didn't. I need to get hysterical to get you to come here!" He said to me while still hugging more like hogging me.

I looked around me and saw everyone staring at us. If only the ground would swallow me. I have never felt this awkward and embarrassed in my entire life.

Also, I have never been hugged nor this close to any person belonging to opposite sex except for my patients. You know what I mean, not in a romantic way. I tried to free myself from his hold but he didn't mind at all. Instead I can feel him put more pressure on it.

"I was busy looking at my patients. Sorry I didn't realize the time. Why did you remove your I.V?" I asked him while still trying to free myself from his tight hold.

He did not even bother to reply to me.

"Is something wrong? Are you OK?" I asked him my voice laced with worry.

" Why are you treating me like I am one of your patients? I am your husband. I felt like you were pushing me away from you. Why? Do you not love me anymore? Do you love someone else now?" He whimpered at me. I could feel his tears dropping down on my shoulder.

I stiffened as I heard him crying like a child. I bit my lips as I couldn't think of anything to say to him.

I looked at my surroundings again. This time all of them were amused and looked at the two of us. His parents gave me a pleading look and I gulped hard since I know what it means.

"What are you talking about? I told you I was busy with my work. Didn't I tell you I will come back? Now return to your bed and take your rest!" I told him it was more like an order.

"Then why can't you look straight into my eyes? See you don't love me anymore?" He whined at me and let go of me.

"Look!" I looked straight into his eyes. " I am not your wife. I don't know you honestly. I am not even one of your girlfriends!" I said as I kept looking at him.

"Then let me out of this hospital. I want to get out of here. What's the use of me getting myself better when you don't want me!" He said to me and his eyes were tearing up again. Not again! This guy is such a cry baby.

"Honey please don't say that. You still have us. " Priscilla said to his whining son.

"What's the use of living when your own wife disowns you? You can't acknowledge me as your husband? Did I do something wrong? What happened?" He asked me again and he was still crying. Why can't he stop crying? Geez this guy.

Alexander's POV

My wife is back in my room now. But still she doesn't recognize me as her husband? What happened to these people?

I slowly moved myself to my bed while she stayed at my side helping me. I hugged and kissed her on the cheeks as I couldn't stop myself from doing it.

She looks at me like I am some kind of alien? Her beautiful round eyes turned wide as she looked at me in horror.

"I love you dammit! Can't you see.? I love you. I can't live without you. Please... Love me back again babe?" I pleaded with her as I held her hands.

She looked at me confused. Then to my parents who are looking at both of us.

"Let's start again! Please? If I did something wrong you can tell me, so I can correct it. And you will love me back again. How does that sound babe?" I asked her sniffling as my tears can't stop flowing down my cheeks. Why am I such a cry baby in front of my wife?

Geez it's my first time crying like this and that too for a girl.

Wait! What? What did I say?

Then a sudden sharp pain in my head halted me. My vision turned blurry and I touched my head. She sensed me and looked at me with worry clear in her eyes.

"Are you ok? You look pale? Are you hurt? " She asked me several questions and I couldn't answer them since the pain in my head kept increasing.

But still I am thankful for the pain since I saw how worried she is for me. Thank goodness!

"I love you babe" then I suddenly collapsed.

Mandy POV

Good thing I was able to catch him on time. And I also got to hold myself at the edge of the bed or else we both were going to fall on the floor with a thud causing injuries to both.

Urrgg! This guy is so heavy and I felt like my arms were slowly giving in. Just in cue, the nurses came to our rescue. Thank goodness they helped me on time.

After I settled him , I talked to his parents and told them that I still needed time to think about what they had asked of me. As of now, I desperately needed to clear my mind.

Yes! Marrialle said it might be true!I am lucky to have him as my husband. But who am I getting? That guy is the definition of handsome, rich and a playboy.

He's the kind of guy I've been avoiding. I don't want to get myself attached to the likes of him since I know that I will end up getting hurt. And I don't want that to happen.

I went home since I couldn't take my headache anymore. My phone rang and I answered it without looking at who the caller was.

"Hello"

"Hey are you home? This late?" Its my mom.

"It's ok mom, it's just too much work. How are you? How was the dinner?" I asked her

"As usual it's incomplete. Your brother and sister did not show up either. Can you come home next week? It's my birthday next week. Will you bake a cake for me honey?" My mom asked me pleadingly.

"OK mom.. I will try.. but I can't promise anything yet. I have a very busy schedule. But I will try mom" i told her.

"OK honey no pressure, it's enough for me. I will hang up now so you can sleep. Love u bye"

"Love you too mom"then I hung up the phone too.

After that, I went to my bathroom since getting myself a relaxing and refreshing bath is what I needed after this nerve wrecking mess that has been dumped upon my head. I really need to cool down. Alexander... That's the guy's name. He will be the death of me someday.

I went to my wash room and took my bath. He kissed me and hugged me?? If I agree with his parents?? What more can possibly happen? Oh shit... I need to stop imagining such things!!

Urg! I will be honest, I do find him very handsome. But I cannot digest  the fact that he is a naturally born playboy.

I can't help but feel a little bit shaken the way he kissed me. I know I felt something weird in my system. And that's absolutely something I can't agree with myself.

I came out of my bathroom after I had finished my bath. I went to my closet and picked out a pair of pajamas, it was so comfortable to sleep in. I hop into my bed and closed my eyes but before, wishing that tomorrow he will gain his memory back. With that thought in mind I slipped off to my Dreamland.
