Dan was working late again, and Elly started to get bored in the house. Working during night started to happen often, and he would look exhausted when he was home.
Things were different when they first married three years ago. They would spend time together, as they were talking, laughing, walking or watching TV.
She was missing her husband, she just wanted to spend time with him. But seeing him exhausted, coming back home at late hours was breaking her heart.
That night, Elly decided to prepare a romantic table, for her husband to make him relax after a long day of work.
She then saw that her phone got no charge, and the charger was in her mother’s home. She left it in there after she spent some time in her mother’s house yesterday.
Everything was almost ready, and she only had to wait for her food in oven so she got the time to go and take her charger back. She checked the hour, and her husband wouldn’t be at home for another hour.
Then she called her mother, but she didn’t respond. Elly then decided to go to her home and take her charger.
When she arrived at her mother’s home, the home was quiet and the lights were off. She called her again, but her mother didn’t pick up once more.
She decided to get in with her spare key and then take her charger. She unlocked the door, and saw her husband’s shoes in there. She was shocked. She was panicking. She slowly got inside. Then she heard muffled voices. It was dan’s voice.
The voices were coming from bedroom. Then she slowly listened. “…do you think she’ll like it?”
“She’ll love it,”
As she couldn’t stop herself, she barged in. The room was a mess of streamers, balloons, and flowers. There was a banner on the wall, Happy Anniversary.”
Her mother was holding a beautiful dress, while Dan was packing presents.
“Surprise?” Dan said with a nervous smile.
Then the truth revealed. Dan asked for help from Molly for he wanted to make a surprise for his wife for their anniversary. Elly was too stunned to speak.
“I’ve been working late to get everything done early,” Dan said. “I wanted to make our anniversary perfect. I know I’ve been distant lately, but I promise, it was for this. For us.”
Elly apologised then. She revealed that she was thinking something terrible was happening. She was sorry for thinking ill.
Then they ate together, and had a lovely night together, just like they were in the past.
