It was one of those cold mornings and Lucas was already getting dressed, she wondered if he even knew what today was, not even a good morning kiss or breakfast in bed..
He was growing cold by the day and it’s just been two years since they got married.
He stepped out of the bathroom and with a strange deep and low voice he said “good morning “, she responded hesitantly” good morning “..in a very low and uninterested way, of course Kate was ready to give back the same emotional expressions, she then asked” where are you going so early, I thought todays was a free day for the company work?”
He replied subtly,”I’ll be back by 8pm”
Then he picked up the car keys and went outside,she couldn’t understand why her husband had such attitude on a Valentine’s Day morning, he didn’t even suggest or make plans on any outing of the sort, did he wake up from the wrong side of the bed or was he just intentionally being mean, she thought but nevertheless, she shrugged it off,she quickly had her bath, woke the kids and prepared them for school.
When she came home, she called her girls immediately, that they were going out together,yes, Kate was that kind of woman who will make herself happy even if you decide to not be there.
She ordered a beautiful red dress and made some food for the kids and Lucas, she left a written note on the fridge for him, it was almost 5:30pm, the kids were back and she took them to her neighbors to take care of them while she was away
At about 6pm, she left with the girls to a party in one of their houses.
It took up to 9:00pm before she came back home, and she only did because it was about to rain and Kate hated the rain so much, so she quickly rushed home.
Stepping into the house, with so much joy and happiness, she wakes into the living room, dropped her car keys in the table and was about heading upstairs she heard”Where Were You?”
He said in the most thunderous voice, she had a little smirk on her face when she replied..
“ oh I went out with the girls, you said you were not coming home till 8:00pm, and I needed to enjoy my Valentine’s Day”..
He replied in a more tense and angry tone,”so you think you will just dress up and walk out of my house, leave the kids with other people, head out without even informing me and still come back by 9:00pm??!
She replied calmly “ there’s absolutely nothing to be angry about Lucas, todays is valantines day, since you care for work more then you care about me and the kids, I decided to have fun and play a little”, she said with a smirk playing on her lips..
“I see that’s how it is, you now do what you like, come back whenever you want,attitude of a married women who no longer remembers her duties and..” Kate cut him off
“Don’t dare talk to me about future and roles Lucas”, she yelled
At this point, they were raising their voices at each other
“Of course I will talk to you however I want because you seem to have forgotten that your duty is to take care of my children and keep my home” he yelled back
And with so much sarcasm in her voice she replied”and what do you get to do, go to work even on valantines day to have your way with all the women in your office…
When was the last time you took me out on a date, when was the last time you even had dinner with me and the kids, and you stand here talking about roles!..
She stormed upstairs, took a pillow and her blanket and went to the opposite room, she was definitely not sleeping with Lucas tonight..
It was a very intense night in the house and soon after, the rain had started falling, and it came with a heavy storm and thunder, they struck as though and angel and a demon were fighting, it was so strong and her window was opened, it made her curtains dance in the air..
That was when she woke up,she was so scared and terrified,she had always been scared of the storm ever since her father died in her room when she was five..
She was so petrified that she couldn’t move and inch, she just laid there and her eyes were tightly shut,this was when she wished so badly that Lucas was here with her, but there was no way he would even come after the heated argument,it was definitely going to be a long night..
She couldn’t believe it when his hands wrapped around her, then he took the blanket and cover her, and he said like a whisper “it’s okay, am here with you”…
That was the most soothing voice she had ever heard from him in a while, she probably didn’t notice he came into the room. He came, irrespective of the fact that they had a heated issue, he didn’t forget about her past traumas, he knew she needed him and he needed to show that he was still the same sweet, loyal and responsible man she married.
She rested in his arms, while he cleaned her tears… that was true love, she wasn’t expecting him to come..
Everyone has their secret love language as everyone’s love is unique..
And this writer’s description of true love is being intentional about showing love and also showing up when your needed the most.
