Sonia spent the rest of the morning in her room, trying to gather her thoughts. She knew she had to talk to Becky soon, but she wasn't sure how to approach the conversation.
As she sat on her bed, staring blankly at the wall, Sonia's mind wandered back to her father's return. What did he want? Why now, after all these years?
The questions kept popping in her head, making her feel scared and worried.
Suddenly, her phone rang again. It was Michael.
"Hey, angel. Just checking in. How are you feeling?"
Sonia smiled, knowing that someone really care. "I'm okay, thanks. Just trying to process everything."
Michael's voice was reassuring. "I'm here for you, no matter what. We'll face whatever comes next together."
Sonia's beamed with smiles. She knew she could count on Michael, but she also knew that she had to be prepared for the challenges ahead.
As she hung up the phone, Sonia became more determined to face her dad and also complete the other tasks.
But little did she know, her father's return was just the beginning of a much larger storm.
As Sonia prepared for her afternoon shift, she felt tired. Her father's return had stirred up a mix of emotions, and she knew she had to be strong for herself and her loved ones.
At work, Sonia's colleagues noticed her distant demeanor, but she brushed it off, attributing it to stress. She focused on her tasks, trying to clear her mind.
After her duty, she decided to walk up to Dr. Pius's office and get more enquiry from his assistant.
"Good evening nurse Sonia", his assistant greeted with smiles.
"Good evening dear", Sonia responded. "Any update on his return".
"Yeah, thank goodness you came around this evening. He'll be back this night so he might probably be on duty tomorrow", the assistant said giving a wife smile.
Sonia's happiness knew no bound. "Wowww… this is really a good news. Thank you so much dear, I really appreciate", Sonia said rubbing her palms together in gratitude.
She left the office happily, eager to share the good news with her husband.
Sonia couldn't wait to share the news with Michael. As she walked home, she was filled with happiness. Dr. Pius's return would hopefully bring some clarity to the mysterious circumstances surrounding Michael's sexual urge.
When she arrived home, Michael was in the living room, working on his laptop. Sonia rushed over to him, excitement radiating from her face.
"Guess what?" she asked, barely containing her enthusiasm.
Michael looked up, interested. "What is it?"
"Dr. Pius is returning tonight! His assistant just told me," Sonia said, her eyes sparkling.
Michael's expression turned thoughtful. "That's great news. Maybe he can shed some light on what can be done." But a doubt creeped into his head, he had gone for series of tests but nothing was found but just maybe, he needed to trust his wife on this.
Sonia nodded, feeling optimistic. With Dr. Pius's return, she might finally get some answers.
She noticed a shift in Michael's mood and gently touched his hand. "Hey…..don't worry, we'll get through this together".
Michael could only nod. Just as the hands of the wall clock ticked, Michael felt the sexual sudden urge.
His grip on the laptop became stronger and tighter. Sonia who was still swimming in her thought of happiness was unaware of what was happening but as soon as a slight moan escaped Michael's mouth, she turned sharply to him.
"What's wrong?", she asked with a worried face.
Michael stood up. "Nothing to worry about", he said but his face failed him.
He rushed upstairs climbing the stairs with great speed.
Sonia followed him immediately and ran with same speed. She caught up with him and held his hand still panting.
"You can talk to me you know…..remember we are in everything together", she said trying to assure him.
"I'll hurt you…I just need to go elsewhere, the urge is much now", Michael said trying to free his hand from her.
Sonia tightened her grip around his hand. "I'm not leaving you, I don't like it when you do it with other women. I'm your wife for crying out loud".
Michael looked at her, he felt pity for her but it wasn't what he could control, he couldn't bear the sight of forcing her to do what she doesn't want to do just because of the urge and remembering that would be their ever first sex ever since they got married, he felt more remorseful. He would want to create a long lasting memory with her on their first moment.
Sonia dragged him to his room and shut the door behind them.
She thought of what to do and not getting on any conclusion, she quickly undressed fast, dropping her dress on the floor while still putting on her panties.
Michael could only stand and stare at her beautiful body. He would have taken time to explore her body but the urge was becoming too much.
One voice inside him wanted to get down with her but the fear of hurting her was screaming in his head.
Sonia approached him and began unbuttoning his shirt while looking into his eyes. Michael's chest rose and fell heavily, his breathing ragged, but beneath the storm in his gaze was a flicker of love — the kind only Sonia could ignite.
"Let me be your peace tonight," she whispered, her fingers brushing against his skin as she slid his shirt off his shoulders.
Michael closed his eyes at her touch, his body aching with a desire he feared and a tenderness he craved. Sonia's scent — soft, familiar, calming — wrapped around him like a balm. For a moment, the raging urge dulled, replaced by the warmth of her presence.
"I don't want to hurt you," he murmured, his voice low and trembling.
"You won't," Sonia replied softly, guiding his hand to rest against her cheek. "Trust me… I know you, Michael. I'm not afraid."
