Chapter 196: Katherine Is Upset

" Final rites are arranged " Duke whispered.

Katherine heard his words as she was standing closer to Adrian. Then she wanted to accompany him to the graveyard. She held his palm and said, " I will come with you".

"It's not required. I will go with any one of our staff to that place. You stay here" he replied and took his palm from her hand. He doesn't want her to face any hard situation. 

" But...Ad...I want to be with you," she pleaded.

" Kathie...no more arguments on this topic. Just let me go " he said strictly. She felt bad about his rejection and her face turned gloomy. Duke heard their conversation and said to Adrian, " I will accompany you to their final rites"

Before walking out of the company, he informed her not to wait. She nodded her head with a sad face. Without looking at her, he walked out along with Duke. He knew very well that if he stays for some more time, he had to witness her tears.

He sat in the passenger seat whereas Duke sat in the front seat beside the driver. The car was filled with silence. Suddenly, Adrian asked the driver to stop and ordered Duke " Get some flowers from the florist shop " 

Duke got down at the roadside florist shop and bought flowers. Then they again started in the car. 

….

A few minutes later they reached the cemetery. Both Adrian and Duke entered the place. He placed the flowers on the coffins and stood beside it closing his eyes. He prayed to God for their souls to rest in peace. Then they both waited till the ritual was completed. 

First, he went towards the elder woman who was standing while crying silently. Adrian walked towards her and said, " Auntie...I can't bring your son back to you. But I want to take his responsibilities and take care of you. And I also love you like my mom"

Then he wiped her tears and hugged her. As soon as he hugged the elder woman, she started sobbing in his arms. Adrian patted her back to console her pain and said, " I arranged you a home to stay. I will take care of all your needs from now on. "

After a while, he asked Duke to stay with the elder woman and walked towards the young woman who was standing silently. When she sensed Adrian's presence, she tried to ignore him and walk away from him.

" Miss...I want to talk with you. Please wait..." Adrian stopped.

" But I am interested in talking with you. Most importantly, I don't want to see your disgusting face, '' she said angrily.

" I can understand what you are going through. But please listen to me, " he requested.

She looked at him with hatred and said, " What! " in a sarcastic way.

" I know the pain in your heart because a few years back, I lost my love. I also know it's difficult to forget loved ones and my words can't soothe your pain" he said, lowering his head.

She turned away from him and walked away from them. But Adrian ran after her and blocked her way. Then he told, " Now you are not in a mood to hear what I want to say. But please listen to me, if you want any help from me. I will be ready to help you "

She looked at him angrily and yelled, " Even if I am going to die, I won't come to get help from you". Then she left the place. 

" Sir...I think she is upset. Please don't take her words to heart. Like me, she will also take time to understand your kind heart " Duke said, standing beside him.

Adrian looked at him strangely as if he is seeing a new version of Duke. Duke understood what Adrian was thinking in his mind and a gave small smile. Then he said, " You and Mrs. Wilson are so good people. On seeing both your kindness, a person like me also changed "

" If you changed truly then I will be so happy "Adrian replied on listening to his words. To his words, Duke said, " I will prove the true change in me. And also prove my loyalty "

" Good " Adrian patted his shoulder. 

Then he continued talking with Duke, " If you don't mind, please help her on behalf of me as she is not accepting my help "

" Sure sir " he agreed.

Suddenly Adrian's voice changed to harsh. " But don't try to misbehave with her and try to harm her. If this time if you try to harm any woman, I will kill you " he threatened.

" Yes sir. I will not disappoint you " he said, bowing his head.

…..

That day, he was full busy as he went to the police department to know about the blast incident in the company. Then he talk with the lawyer about the legal problems to be faced. All the time, Duke accompanied him. 

It was seven in the night, she waited in the company for him but he didn't return to the company. She made a call to him but he didn't attend her calls. She tried many times but there was no use. Even she messaged him but she didn't get any reply from him. She felt so bad and went home. 

Adrian didn't notice that it was dark outside. He informed Duke to go to his home as it was late. After Duke left, Adrian went to his home in the car. As soon as he stepped in, there was complete silence. He directly went to his bedroom and saw his wife sleeping on the edge of the bed on her side. He doesn't want to disturb her sleep. He quietly went to the bathroom and get freshened. Then he changed into sweat pants and a T-shirt. 

He saw the tray of food on the table with a note on it, " Hope your work went well. Have this food and sleep"

He served his food and ate the food as his wife arranged for him with love. Then he laid on the bed and turned towards her. He pulled closer to his chest placing his hand around her stomach. He kissed the nape of her neck and closed his eyes.

…..

The next morning when he opened his eyes, the place beside him was empty. He thought she might go to prepare coffee for him. He quickly got up and completed his eyes. He waited for her in their bedroom but she didn't turn up. Suddenly he remembered about his mobile. He took it from the nightstand and found it was switched off. 

He kept it for discharging and turned it on. When it was switched on, he saw his wife missed calls in the call list and messages from her.

" Ad...why are you not picking up the calls? "

" Is everything fine?"

" I am worried for you, please call me "

The previous day we were busy, so he didn't check his mobile. He didn't even realize his mobile was turned off. He understood that she is upset with him and why she didn't come to their bedroom.

He came out of the room, he would only see his mom in the living room. Slowly he walked towards his mom and greeted her, Good morning.

" Good Morning." She greeted back.

" Mom...where are Kathie and Sam? " He asked his mom.

" She went to drop Sam at his pre-school. I think she would be back in a short while " she replied then again she asked, " Shall I ask the maid to serve breakfast for you ?"

" It's okay. I will have breakfast with Kathie. Let her come" he answered.

" She already had her breakfast. If you are hungry, you can eat.." she suggested.

He doesn't want his mom to repeat. So he sat on the chair to have his breakfast. Just in time, Katherine returned from school. She ignored his presence and walked towards their bedroom. He understood that she is so angry at him. He doesn't want his mom to know about it. So he quickly had his breakfast and walked towards his bedroom. 

Without making a noise, he opened the door and tiptoed towards her as she was turned towards the mirror. Her back was facing him. But she saw his reflection through the mirror and noticed him walking towards her while tiptoeing like a thief. When he was close to her and supposed to hug her from behind her, all of a sudden she moved to the side. 

He fell on the mirror but nothing happen to him. She was glaring at him with a serious expression. Adrian gulped his throat looking at her red face which was not with blush but with anger.
