BEING AN UNLOVED WIFE

CHAPTER 7

In the morning when the sun has not yet appeared, the sky is still dark, some stars are still scattered and fill the entire surface of the sky.

Time showed at three in the morning, when everyone was still sleeping soundly, Nayra had to push all the kitchen needs, Nayra, clean all the dust and dirt that are scattered in every corner of the floor and that stick to various furniture and in all the display decorations that are plastered in the entire house.

When the time has shown at half-seven in the morning, everything has been resolved.

Today is not like the usual day, even the whole house, especially Nayra was so surprised by Rico's treatment arrived suddenly. However, Nayra usually had to wait until everyone at the table had finished eating her food, after which she had eaten, but not for today.

After finishing putting all the food on the table, when it was about to walk away, immediately prevented and pulled Nayra's hand by Rico.

"Ehemm... Starting today, eat at the dinner table." said Rico in a flat voice while continuing his meal.

"Sorry sir, but I don't deserve to be among everyone, I'm aware of my position." replied Nayra softly.

"I won't say a second time!!" connect Rico.

"Thank you sir, I feel very lucky." continued Nayra.

When you want to sit in a corner seat so as not to disturb others, immediately pulled by Beni.

"Nay, sit next to me.." Still holding Nayra's hand.

Nayra noticed the gripping cold as she unintentionally looked into Rico and Gea's eyes.

Previously, after living his bitter life in the luxury villa, Nayra often caught Gea who was silent watching Beni, and he realized one thing, if actually Gea likes Beni.

"Sorry sir, I don't want everyone to be distracted by my presence, I'm just sitting in the corner over there feeling very honoured and happy.." said Nayra smiling sincerely pulling her arm slowly and passing it towards the corner of the dining table.

"I allowed him to eat at this table, but why did he just smile at Beni?" rico murmured inwardly, he involuntarily clenched his hand clasping very firmly the knife and fork he was holding.

"I'm happy if someone is self-conscious." said Bella smiling cunningly.

"Must all humans on this earth be aware of its position." continued Gea grinning glances at Nayra.

Nayra just kept silent while bowing her head. He still did not dare to take his food, and somehow he felt suddenly full, perhaps full of meaning.

"Bella, Gea, stop acting like that. I hope you can also be aware of your position." Beni Saying.

It is known, the highest position in this house is held by Rico and Beni, although officially this is a villa owned by Rico who is also Bella's sister.

Bella and Gea are equally afraid of Beni, although she looks friendly and humorous, but when she is angry, she can make people around her feel threatened including Rico.

Rico already considers Beni like half himself after Alexa, because from the moment they sit on the bench of Junior High, they have become very close friends, he said, even if you all look at it with your own eyes, you will think that they are a gay couple.

Rico also once said that Beni's position in the house, is on par with him, which means all the words of Beni must also and must be obeyed.

Rico always respected Beni's decision, although he looked cruel and without compassion, but it can be admitted that Rico was also a fair person and did not choose love for anyone.

"I'm sorry we're Beni's sister." said Bella and Gea simultaneously.

"Bella, I'm not afraid of your sister's position in this house, nor do I care if you're my wife even once, but don't you say bad to Nayra, I warn you once more, I won't be disinclined by you." Bayu said with a sharp look cutting through the conversation.

As Bella and Gea's bodies trembled violently, cold sweat began to wash over the surface of their skin.

Somehow he felt the air coming out of Bayu's body, just like the cold aura released by Rico and Beni while being angry.

"Darling, I'm sorry, I just wanted to talk earlier." glanced at Gea and nudged her shoulders slowly, like giving a sign that Gea should also apologize to Bayu.

"Forgive us big brother Bayu, we will not repeat it again." said Gea lowered her head with a gloomy face.

"Wait for my revenge, I won't let you go just like Nayra.." muttered Bella and Gea simultaneously while clenching both hands.

When he finished breakfast, Rico was about to hurry to go to the office with Beni and Bayu, Nayra who still ate his food also swiftly stood up.

"Sit down, eat your food, I don't want anyone to throw away food in this house." said Rico still with his flat voice staring straight.

Nayra also said, sitting back and rushed to eat his food until it was not left.

Known since they officially became a couple, Nayra always drove Rico to the door even though it was not considered at all by Rico.

Nayra also often waited for Rico when returning home from work, even if it was late though, until sometimes Nayra was found by Rico who had just returned from work, which was very late, falling asleep on the living room couch just to wait for him to come home. But all that still can not open the heart of Rico in the slightest.

Although his hatred for Nayra slowly began to fade, but his cold feelings were very applicable to Nayra, even for everyone in the house including Alexa, Rico still felt Nayra was just a stranger to him.

"I'll be home late, no need to wait for me." said Rico addressed to Nayra.

"What's with Rico's attitude today, like it wasn't just him." murmured Beni.

"Did his head hit so that it made his brain shift for a while?." muttered Bayu.

"Why did you treat him so well today.." Bella´s.

"Could it be that Rico's brother today took the wrong medicine.." Gea.

Nayra just nodded slowly, clearly a sense of disappointment from the look on her face.

Previously, everyone in the house had known the habit of Nayra who often slept on the sofa just to wait for Rico's return, even still taking the time to cook in the middle of the night for those who just came home from work.

"really?.. Yuyu, can you bring me some chocolate candy? I've always dreamed of being in the middle of a pool full of chocolate candy, and you know when I want to eat all that candy, my whole face turns round like chocolate candy.." Seriously speaking while frowning and holding his cheek that was deliberately inflated.

""Deggg......."

"Degg....."

As soon as Bayu and Beni's heart beat quickly when they saw the look of Nayra's face like that, it looked very cute.

"Based on a stupid woman, do you know how cute you are right now?.." murmured Beni softly blushed while throwing her face, she did not want someone to see her with blushing cheeks.

"Nayra is stupid, stop being cute like that or I will really close the door of my heart to other women right now.." muttered Bayu with twinkling eyes, his face blushing instantly.

"Tiiinnn......" The sound of car horns rang out, breaking the atmosphere of the day just then.

Rico was sitting sweetly waiting in his luxury car that was gold.

"Stop spoiling him like that, he'll forget himself." said Rico staring straight at the street in front of him.

Rico had previously known of Beni and Bayu's plans to release Nayra from Rico's shackles, but even Rico was not angry.

Either his compassion was so great, or his heart was slowly beginning to open for Nayra.

In the past, when he saw Nayra shed tears while being bullied by him, he still felt ordinary. However, for some reason lately Nayra has never let out those tears again, instead just a sincere smile thrown from her lips.

When she saw Nayra's smile for the first time, "Deggggg..." Rico's heart stopped at that moment. He felt very familiar with that smile.

***FLASHBACK ON***

The day is usually when Nayra feels really not feeling well, she asks permission to take a day off from her homework, but Rico does not respond, which means he's not allowed to take a day off, even if it's just for a day.

As she was about to pick up the dirty clothes in Rico's room, Nayra knocked on the door slowly, but no one opened it.

It had been almost ten minutes for Nayra to be there just to wait for the door to open for her. Nayra felt a little dizzy, her vision became faint.

Nayra doesn't care anymore, as long as she gets the homework done quickly, then she can get some rest, and it's possible that Rico is outside, she thought.

When he was in Rico's room, he immediately took all the dirty clothes.

When he was about to stand up from his squat, his body began to be unbalanced, his head dizzy with firefly walls, wanted to move his legs was no longer able to for him, until finally Nayra fell lying on the floor of the cold marble.

"Cekleekkk.." The sound of the doorknob opening from the direction of the bathroom.

Rico was very surprised when he saw the unexpected sight in front of his eyes, then rushed to run towards Nayra, with part of his body still wrapped in a towel.

"Nayra, are you okay?. Get up.. Hey, aren't you listening to me? I command you now to get up!!.." for the first time Rico called Nayra's name, Rico was surprised by what he just said, because all this time he had never once said the name Nayra, but why now his mouth could get the word out, Rico was still confused with himself.

She immediately calls Beni to go inside her room to check on Nayra.

When he felt like he had no heart to let Nayra who was still lying on the marble floor so cold, with a heavy heart lifted Nayra to lie on her bed.

"Nayra, listen carefully, I will kill you if you die!!" murmured Rico while tightly grasping Nayra's cold hand.

The moment when Beni had reached Rico's room, she was shocked to see Rico's eyes looking at Nayra, a sad look mixed with disappointment and anxiety was clearly reflected from the look on Rico's face that had never been seen before.

Then Beni's eyes stopped in one direction in front of him, again he was surprised at the behavior of his best friend when he saw Rico's hand holding tightly Nayra's hand occasionally kissed the hand.

"Rico, you surprised me twice in just a few minutes. And, what the fuck is that stupid attitude of yours, how could a Rico Natahanael treat another woman so gently like that other than Alexa?" mummy Beni slowly.

"Ehemmmm..." Beni cleared his throat immediately disperse his activities just now, immediately released Nayra's hand and acted as Coll as usual.

"Rico, are you.." Beni spoke with a mocking look at Rico.

"Stop thinking like that, I just don't want people to think that I'm treating my wife badly" Rico said, throwing away his face while blushing in embarrassment.

"Well, you won this time." replied Beni walking towards Nayra.

"Rico, are you finally able to open your heart to Nayra?." murmured Beni softly.

"He's feverish.. Rico can't you just let go? I know you're so mad at him about that, and so am I. But look, now that he still doesn't remember anything, don't you feel like we've sinned so much against him? abducting, punishing and torturing people who arguably do not know what it looks like? I know exactly what your nature is, you are not the bad guy Rico!.." said Beni firmly looking into Rico's eyes intensely.

Recently Rico has also not been too hard on Nayra like the day before, one of which is now he began to entrust Nayra to wake her every hour and a half five in the morning to exercise morning run.

Actually there is nothing wrong with what Beni said just now, thought Rico, just to have to let go of Nayra just like that after a long time he began to get used to the presence of Nayra at his side, I don't know why I don't feel it.

"I'll release him after Alexa is fully healed" Rico said as it passed.

***FLASHBACK OFF***

At work, Rico sat on the bench of his greatness, daydreaming while occasionally turning his chair, no matter what he thought this time, only he and God knew.

"Why was he disappointed when I told him not to wait for me to come home tonight?." murmured Rico as he looked up at the sky of the room and turned the pen between his fingers.

When he realized his daydream, it immediately crossed his mind about the dream that Nayra had said this morning. A dream that was once uttered by Alexa as a child when they played together.

It might just be a coincidence, thought Rico.
