A DIVIDED HEART

Episode 66

Sorry, Madam. We are not husband and wife now but we will be husband and wife as soon as possible. I'm engaged to him. Isn't that right, baby?" william said as he kicked my leg

I turned to her and she developed her sweet smile while blinking her eyes, I knew her point and immediately nodded

There was a different feeling that I felt when he said the word 'honey', there is a strange thing that is now spreading in my heart, but I immediately brushed it off so that everything no longer continued into the things I did not want.

"Yes, Mom. We are already engaged and soon to be married" I follow William's story

"Oh, good if you already have a bond. But remember you guys aren't halal yet so it's best not to be alone often" we both nodded together

"Hurry in, it's night" the boarding house continued and left William and me in the boarding house's courtyard

I said goodbye to William and immediately asked him to come home because it was already night, with a heavy heart he agreed with what I said and soon passed from there with a very forced step.

After he passed, I entered the house and immediately entered my room. The house looks quiet, there is no activity from the other residents of the boarding house, I turned to the left and right sides of the room that he said was inhabited but in fact there was no sound or activity whatsoever that I could hear.

"Maybe they are all asleep" I murmured softly as I climbed the stairs leading to my room.

When I got to my room, I took a shower and rested. Recovering the energy I used all day.

...**********...

William just got out of the car he was riding in, the car he parked in the garage of his luxury home. He rushed in and wanted to rest.

William walked past Alexa's room, which was right next to his, she heard Alexa talking to someone and from her tone it was clear if her brother was angry and cursing at someone.

William put his ear toward the door that was now closed tightly, carefully listening to the conversation. This is a first for William, before he never interfere or want to know the things that are being experienced by someone, if indeed it has nothing to do with him.

However, somehow this time he was very curious about what he heard, because only this time he found Alexa was cursing someone with a very high tone.

"All of you are not very smart, there is no point in me paying you dearly if this kind of work alone cannot be done!" alexa's voice when she talks to someone on her phone call

William put his eyebrows together, he was so curious about what his brother did because some days Alexa's behavior is very strange according to him.

"What is he doing, and what is his payment, what is he doing that I don't know?" william's inner self while continuing to listen to Alexa's conversation.

Not long after, the conversation was over. William immediately went from there so as not to be caught by Alexa who is now walking towards the door of his room.

Alexa opened the door after William had arrived in his room,

"I think I heard someone's footsteps, but who?" Alexa monologues herself while looking there and looking for someone, but she did not find anyone, she finally went back into her room.

The next morning, William and Alexa were both at the dinner table, they both enjoyed breakfast together because their parents were still overseas

William himself until now has not dared to ask about what he heard last night, he is still silent because it is not his business and has not shown things that are dangerous.

William put down the spoon and fork he was wearing, "Well, brother. Everything went according to plan" he continued while wiping the food container that .asih stuck in his mouth.

"How's Samuel doing?" Further Alexa noticed the mimic of his sister's face that now looks flat

"He's good, Brother. Why did you suddenly ask him how he was doing, did your heart feel like accepting him?" William still had his face flat

Alexa smiled wryly, "Are you going to let go of Agnes?"

William then lifted his face and looked at his brother in confusion, "No, I just got him back and up until whenever I never let go!"

"Good, keep him. Don't let go of him again. Then how's Prima doing?" Alexa continues to pretend

"I don't know how it is, I haven't seen him in a long time. Last time I heard the news that she was getting married to her first love"

"Curtain, first love. The first love that will never be together" inner Alexa while smiling cynically. William noticed the smile and he himself did not know what was underlying it

"Don't mess it up, you can find another one and let him be happy!" William immediately stood up and left Alexa who was somewhat surprised by his sister's speech.

Alexa does not know if the mimic of his face looks so real or indeed William just guess and guess is now right on target.

William is now in front of my boarding house, he then got out of his car and then entered the courtyard of the house after greeting Mr. Satpam who is now perched in his post

I who was down the stairs and was about to go outside, again felt strange because there was no activity this morning. Though I know, this morning still shows at 06:30 which should be everyone is ready to go to work but in reality no one seems to be on the move.

All the room doors are still closed, the living room also looks neat and clean and one more, the boarding house is also not visible since last night.

Without thinking long, I immediately left the living room because to be honest, I felt a little creepy and my hair bristled. I walked in quick steps to reach the door of the house.

I opened the door immediately after reaching out, "Oh my God, William!" I cried out in surprise when I found William standing right in front of the door and was about to knock on the door

"Why, Nes. What's up?" William also panicked when he saw that I was shocked when he saw it.

I closed the door and then pulled William's arm away from there, after which I told him everything I had experienced from last night until this morning. There was no response from William, he just smiled while calming me down

"Don't panic, maybe they've all been working since morning blind and come home before evening, so you don't see their activity" William once again shakes me, he grabs my body and holds it tight. I accepted the treatment consciously because of the fear that dominated me

I tried to accept what I just heard, even though in my little heart I still felt fear and panic.

"Here, don't think about it too much. Have you had breakfast?" I still shake in his arms

The hug lasted quite a long time, until at last Pak Satpam blew his whistle and shouted to both of us

"It's still morning, Mom, Ma'am!" he continued later and we immediately took off the hug, the awkward feeling covering the two of us even though now I can see William smiling sweetly because happy.
