Monthsary

The couple then arrived in Manila, they were picked up and send to Anton's condo. Anton however as they reach the condo, he ask the driver to send him in the company leaving Alliena alone in the plain condo filled with masculine vibes and loneliness.

Alliena took some rest , when she wakes up she look around and felt alone but instead of dwelling on her loneliness she went to the kitchen and prepare some meals for dinner out of the available ingredient in the fridge. In just an hour, she was able to prepare three main dishes and a soup, she was a good cook and she learned independence eversince she reach college. The the clock strucks 7 pm she went up to their bedroom to change into a casual dress and awaits for Anton's arrival in the living room.

Alliena sit on the sofa and grab the remote to watch Netflix movies, she waited for Anton from then on to 9pm upto 11 pm until she fell asleep in the sofa with out eating anything. It was midnight when Anton arrives, as the new CEO there's a lot of documents to review and meetings to attend he was very exhausted.

But the moment he came after laying down his laptop, he was surprised to saw Alliena sleeping uncomfortably in the sofa , she was woken up by the sudden movement and start yawning.

"Did you have your dinner?" She ask in a half a sleep manner.

"I did" Anton answered

"Hmmm okay, then I'll go eat dinner " Alliena said disappointedly on how the situation turns . She just wasted her hours on cooking dinner for them and waited for him but it turns out that he already had his.

She then went to the dining table she prepare, she was upset but what can she do it's not like they are normal couple that should dine together, so she ate a little and silently .

Anton was a bit taken when he notice that she prepare simple dinner and waited for him just like normal wife would do but they aren't normal couple he thought to himself. So he just went to their bedroom, do his business and went to bed.

After Alliena had her dinner he went to clean up and food the other food in the fridge, in the past she didn't care of left overs, what left were left but when they went bankrupt and became just simple family. She came to appreciate a lot of things she didn't give importance before like left over food, as long as it is still spoiled she can eat it, she no longer has that princess syndrome.

The room is lit on dimlight when she came. Anton seemed to be exhausted and already fell asleep, she guess that it's is only now that he took rest since morning that they've arrived in the city. She walks closer and stared on his handsome face, despite of obvious dark circles his handsomeness is incomparable. Alliena lay beside him and his eyes welled up unknowingly.

Days, week and month passed since they arrived from US they've never shared meals just like normal couples do. At first, Alliena thought that it's because being the CEO of Sari International and running such big company requires all his time but as time passes by she came to realized that he is obviously avoiding her. In the morning it's either Anton left early before Alliena woke up or just left without paying any attention on whatever she prepares in the table. At dinner, He never came earlier than 12 pm, no matter what Alliena cooks or how many hours she waited she never joined her for dinner. He didn't even lay hands on her at night, this makes Alliena feel worse.

The next morning, even Anton never take even a glance on the breakfast she prepared she still made some. Regardless he takes or not at least she made her role as a wife, she knew there's nothing to expect from him. Anton walk pass through her, she took bigger steps to send him in the main door but she stumble and Anton turns around.

"What?" He ask with expressionless face

"Hmmm....." shyly she mutters but before she can say her words Anton cut in.

"If you need anything call Karl, if there's nothing else I'll leave"

"No..no..its just that..that , can u come home early tonight? I'll prepare all your favorite" she suddenly ask with her eyes on the floor

"For what?" He asked

"No, nothing important " She said then Anton leave "How idiot am I to think that this day bears anything to you" Alliena mutters to herself seeing Anton gets inside the elevator. Infact today is the first month of them being married.She taken a lot of effort this past few weeks to make a conversation with him but she fails, today she taken lot of confidence to talks to him despite his coldness and obvious disgust . She atleats thought that maybe tonight is a good opportunity if they talk their issues just like 5yrs ago , their relationship will get better.

Though there is no confirmation that he will come, Alliena still made her way she will make delicious dinner. She left the condo and went to public market where you can find variety of fresh seafoods and vegetable which she will cook for tonight's dinner.

She gets busy in the kitchen and prepare his favorite meals as she recalls. It's been a month since he last touch her, but it's not what annoyed her, she wants to give this marriage a chance and make it work. She loves him.

After cooking she went to change into knee length pink dress, her flowy hair drape on her shoulder and she apply small amount of make up and pink lipstick. She set the table perfectly and pull the wine out in the bar area. She sat on the couch anxious while time flies to 9pm to 11 pm.
