Christmas Rose

Christmas Rose-Relieve my Anxiety

Adrian was rampaging around the house. He was on a important quest to find a lost item. The item seemed to have a great value to his life. Without it; his life would be very much in danger. After over turning the sofa for the 10th time, he concluded that the item that he seeks was obviously not in his living room. So he begins to turn his attention to his room.

"Where the hell is it?" Adrian grunted as he lifts up his bed to check for the missing item. After spending 3 disappointing hours in his room, he dejectedly tries his luck in the kitchen. After all he did recall going in there and to grab some food.

‘Maybe I dropped it there’ he thought as he enters the kitchen.

He started with the cabinet and then the china cupboard. He went on great length to search for that item. From dismantling the sink to taking out the kitchenware- still no sign of that item. No gleam of light or clue comes into surface. His search has become more desperate by the minute. His frustration grew to a peak, he started to feel exhausted and his stubbornness to locate that item grew VERY thin. Thus, he begins to find a good excuse to save his own ass. After awhile wrecking his brain for a “foolproof” excuse, it quickly dawn on him that excuses won’t work on her.

As the time is ticks rather hurriedly, his mind went overdrive with paranoia. Now all he could think off; was that either he hang himself there or find somebody to blame for -which he know none of them work.’ SHE IS COMING! I CAN FEEL IT!!Realizing his mind turning mad, he tried to relax his mind by rubbing his temple slowly and take a deep breath.

As his mind drifted off to certain serenity, it was then; his wife just took that right moment to enter the house. His face immediately turned white, cold sweat starting to form. His eyes began to dilate in panic. Everything for him seems to happen in slow motion.

"Hone-Woow what the hell happened here?"Kate screeched as she saw the house's furniture upside down. She quickly rushed into the house to check on her prized china that was on the kitchen. Much to her relieve it was still there and seems nothing is broken.

Now she have to search for answers from her husband who she found him under the dinner table moan something about caring more about her china than him but she just shrug the comment off and press Adrian for answer.

"What happen here?" Kate Interrogated

"I was finding for something...."Adrian bit his lips bitterly as he answers.

Kate quickly knew something important was missing. After all Adrian was a simple man. If something is lost, he wouldn't even bother to find it -he will just buy a new one-unless it’s important.

"A-D-R-I-A-N"Kate voice rang slowly and deadly. Adrian’s life started to flash before his eyes. Hanging himself to death seems like a better option than to face his wife’s wrath. It is after all less of a heartbreak.

"What is lost?"Kate's voice was dangerously low

"Ermmm..." Adrian gulped. A sudden strike of wisdom waltz into his mind. He could lie that a robber robs his house and stole his wedding ring but that would lead a whole search party to find this imaginary robber. And a determine Kate is an angry Kate (not to mention stubborn). Honesty is the best policy so he quickly dismissed the idea  and confessed that he lost the ring. The WEDDING RING.

Kate's frown dissolves into smile. She started to search her hand bag and found it with ease. She shows it to him that his and her wedding band was with her all along. Adrian quickly breathe out a sigh of relieve.

“I did tell you 2 days ago that I was going to enlarge your ring since you’ve been complaining that it’s too small....but obviously you weren't listening….Men.”Kate rolled her eyes.”Now, come on lets clean this place up!”

Adrian’s lips etched out a small grin as he stood up. He place securely his ring back to his fore finger and began to carry the sofa back to its original place.

Kate nonchalantly said “Honey, I’m pregnant”

Distracted, Adrian drop the sofa on his feet.

One Sentence: Adrian thought he lost his wedding ring when it turns out his pregnant wife had it all along.
