The Marvelous Elijah’s Return
Chapter 1
Ungodly Hour
The sound of the tick and tock from the clock had Elijah’s feet bouncing on the tiles of the dining room floors as he stared at his watch, a sense of nervousness creeping into his chest.
It was Ten-thirty, and he had been staring at this same watch for hours now, still no sign of his wife.
Even though it was like her to come home late, He didn’t expect her to do so on their birthday since she knew how important today was to him.
Looking away from his watch, Elijah sighed and glanced up, the clock showing Eleven pm. Then his gaze directed to the phone, lying on the table, in front of him.
“Will she not pick up again?” Elijah asked out loud, his voice low and soft.
There was a brief pause before he reached for the phone, his fingers fumbling with it as he tried to dial Melina’s number.
“The number you have called is currently unavailable…” A robotic female voice said on the other side of the line, causing Elijah to drop his head backward on the chair, a frown plastered on his face.
“Is she not going to answer me anymore?” He muttered in slight disappointment.
“Eleven Fifteen,” The clock on the wall read, and Elijah continued to be patient, hitting his foot repeatedly against the tiles.
Eleven twenty-two and still no sight of his wife. It has been the whole day since she left this morning that he had not seen her, and it was starting to worry him.
Elijah’s eyes wandered back towards his phone, then up to the clock again, watching the minutes tick by one by one until eleven-thirty.
That’s when Elijah finally had enough and woke from the chair, abandoning the table filled with food that he had made for Melina, and left the dining room.
The feeling of love is a heavy burden that weighed on Elijah’s heart for years since he married Melina and started living with her as a stay-at-the-home husband.
Respect was not something she would give to him often because of his low status in life, being a man who had no job and just lived off her.
Elijah has never given up on. His affection for her came first than anything else. She was the most important person in his life, and he felt like it was time for him to be honest to her about a lie
to celebrate both of them thirty years old birthdays, but he was finally going
