?Mig’s POV?
I stopped immediately i heard the front door open,the attic is soundproof but this house has been built for long..
I mean decades so i wonder if the soundproof has not weaken,i can’t risk that so i had to stop playing the piano immediately.
I checked my wrist watch..’4:20′.
Woah!
I’ve been here for hours without even realising it.
I quickly covered my piano and hurried out of the attic.
I stepped into the living room to see Fleur looking worriedly at Elva who sat on the couch with her two palms in her hair.. groaning.
“What’s wrong with her?” I asked.
“I don’t know but I think it’s her memory swing..we entered the house and she just suddenly sat on the couch groaning” Fleur said.
“And where are you coming from, looking so dirty?” Fleur asked.
“Uh..uhm” I said.
Elva suddenly stopped groaning.
“Did you remember anything?” Fleur asked.
“When we came in,I heard the faint voice of someone singing and playing piano…I just felt weak and had to quickly sit down then it just came as a flash..I saw myself singing and playing piano” Elva narrated.
Fleur gave a deep breath before turning to look at me,she already knows i was the one singing.
“Wow,that means your memory has started coming back gradually” Fleur said.
“It just came as a flash after i heard the piano and the voice” Elva said.
“Could it be that if you hear more of the piano and song,your memories will come flowing in because it seems like it’s a bit related to your past” Fleur said.
“The voice was amazing and i could tell it was a male’s… it had been faint but i loved it. Who was singing?..You don’t have neighbors” Elva said and i bit my mouth.
Fleur looked up at me and i signaled her not to say anything.
“We don’t have neighbors but I think it’s from the next house” Fleur said with a sweet smile.
“Wow! what a serene voice. I feel like listening to it all over again” Elva said and i smiled a little.
“So welcome ladies..how was work Elva?” I asked.
“It was great. I love the work already, i can’t wait to get back to the children tomorrow” She said happily.
She must love kids a lot.
“Bro your little sis is starving” Fleur said.
“I know your hospital provides breakfast and lunch..why don’t you eat at work?” I scoffed playfully.
“The meal at the hospital is not as tasty as yours, i also couldn’t eat much” Elva said.
“Yeah, Elva is right” Fleur said.
“Well…I remained some rice and chicken for you guys, it’s in the refrigerator you can mic…” I haven’t finished talking when they both ran off to the kitchen.
What!
I shook my head and walked to my room to freshen up,i truly looked dirty,I have to clean up the attic tomorrow because I’ve decided that’s where i will be using for now.
I just don’t know…I felt real good after singing and playing the piano.
Of course that’s how i always feel after doing that.
“I need to freshen up” I said walking to my bathroom.
? Elva’s POV?
Fleur and i sat on the dining chair eating hungrily.
I now understand why Fleur always come home complaining of hunger.
“The children are so smart” I said in between the meal.
“Yes they are…hope you had no problem in coping with them?” Fleur asked before biting into her chicken.
“Not at all even though they talk a lot, i like it anyway.. it’s a lot better than doing nothing” I said scooping the last spoon of rice in my mouth.
Now I gotta deal with my chicken.
“Mig is a very good cook” I said biting into my chicken.
“Sure he is. I prefer his meals to mine” Fleur said.
“Thanks for the clothes and shoes Fleur” I said.
She had bought some work clothes and shoes for me while we were coming back home.
“You are welcome Elv,so do you like our hospital?” She asked.
“Yeah, it’s very nice and beautiful,the workers are also very friendly,they came to introduce themselves to me..in short;the hospital is perfect.
The only thing that isn’t perfect is their meal and I guess it’s because the cook is getting old” I said with a mouthful.
“Yeah…she keeps begging Doc Steph not to replace her, promising to improve but she kept on doing the same thing” Fleur said.
“Ohhh” I said with pity.
I perceived the scent of shampoo and immediately know Mig is near.
I looked up from my meal and saw him coming towards the dining room.
He has changed into a black singlet which did little in covering up his broad chest..The black curly hair on his chest is so visible.
My gaze went to his muscles looking attractive and i glanced up to look at his face. I almost gasped.
His hair is dripping wet, droplets of water roll all over his cute face,and he kept using his small pink lips to blow them off.
I swallowed hard with heat slowly rushing to my cheeks.
His silver eyes blinked twice and I wasn’t aware I had dropped my chicken.
“Fleur where is your hair towel? mine is in the laundry” He said,not even looking at me.
I faced my chicken back in embarrassment.
“It’s in my bathroom,on the cabinet”Fleur said.
“Ok,start preparing dinner once you are done eating” He said to Fleur before walking away.
I sighed.
Why does my heart beat faster anytime he’s around?
Why does my heart feel funny?
And who is he? to make me feel this way.
***
We finished having our dinner.
Fleur and i had prepared the meal.
It’s very dark already,we just ate little of the dinner because we were full with eating the rice and chicken.
Mig ate a lot, claiming he didn’t eat lunch.
We kept the remaining in the refrigerator and planned to microwave it for breakfast tomorrow.
We headed to our rooms after exchanging goodnight.
I slipped under the blanket after bathing and changing into my pyjamas.
I tossed on the bed as i kept thinking about the amazing faint voice I heard earlier.
Who could own such a voice?
I would do anything to hear it again.
My mind trailed back to Mig… Where was he coming from looking so dirty?
Well..he might just be cleaning up.
But…
