Captain Josh's Small Wife

The woman in the red dress

The day had changed, Frey was not allowed to go home by Lynda so the little girl would stay at the mansion in the next two days. Lynda also tells Frey if the school will hold a school committee meeting to decide his fate in school. Frey is now in Josh's room, a room dominated by gray with a valina fragrance in it, really that room makes Frey miss her contract husband even more.

It seems like God heard his heart, not long after, Frey's phone rang, a vidio call from Josh. Before raising the call, Frey tidied her hair and practiced smiling as widely as possible, Frey did not want Josh to worry if he saw her grieving.

"Hay Capt," said Frey as soon as the call was connected, on the screen of his phone clearly visible face that he was missing.

"Hay, how's your school today?" ask Josh across the street.

"Boring as usual. What the hell are you doing?" Frey deliberately switched their conversation, discussing the school matter made her feel sad and angry at the same time.

"I just got to the hotel, I'm so tired."

"You better rest now."

"You don't like me calling?" josh's sour face is clearly visible on Frey's phone screen.

"Of course not, he said he was tired. If you're tired, do you rest, right?"

"Hem, okay. I'm gonna take a break. Take care of yourself" Josh said before he ended his vidion call.

Frey laid her body on a king-size bed, the girl then hugged a bolster pillow that instantly made her feel comfortable. "If you were here, ah I miss you even more" he murmured, imagining that the bolster pillow turned into Josh. Unconsciously Frey began to fall asleep, his body and soul needed rest after a day of energy and his brain drained.

Hiks..hiks...

Frey blinked his eyes when he heard a woman's voice crying, he sharpened his hearing and the voice grew farther away. "Yes in the luxury house there is mbak kunti?" his mind is afraid.

Click.klak..klak..klik..klak....

Frey hugged her roll tightly, the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. "That's not a cello doll, is it? Ah of course not, the Cello doll is only in the horror novel of his brother Meli Meilia, I must be just hallucinating," Frey assures himself if he just misheard, he said, but the sound of footsteps was even more clearly heard in his ears. "Aish, you fucking devil," Frey flipped his blanket, with half the courage he had, the girl peeked out from behind the door. Frey widened her eyes when she saw a woman in a red dress with long hair unraveling was walking down the stairs, occasionally the woman let out a sobbing sound.

"Mbak kunti change the color of the shirt, it looks like red is more suitable. Kasian mbak Kunti must be upset again," Frey glanced left and right, in the corner of Josh's room room he found a wooden decoration in the form of a Cross, Frey, Frey took the object out and ventured to follow the red dress.

"God protect your beautiful servant, amen," now Frey and Kunti's distance is getting closer, but Frey stopped his steps when he saw the woman in a red dress sitting on the dining table chair and was enjoying a sweet martabak. "What is this, is it that Kunti is also hungry from crying too much?"

Frey's muttering voice was apparently heard by the woman, slowly the woman began to turn her head towards where Frey was.

"Yeah....."

Frey and the woman scream at the same time, but Frey realizes that the woman in the red dress is not the Kunti she thought she was.

"Madam," cried Frey stifled, seeing Katherine in a state of chaos to his surprise. Frey moved closer. "What are you doing so early in the morning?" Frey glanced at the wall clock, time three in the morning.

"I'm hungry" he replied, rubbing the tears on his face.

"May I sit down?" asked Frey and Katherine just nodded. Frey grabbed a tissue and rubbed her mother-in-law's face without permission. "Your hands are dirty, you can get a pretty face if you wipe your tears with those dirty hands" he said with a smile.

"Am I pretty?" Katherine asked while looking into Freesai's eyes.

"Of course, when I grow up, I want to be a beautiful woman like you" Frey replied honestly, because basically Katherine is very beautiful. At a young age, the woman has a well-groomed facial skin. "But ma'am, beautiful women like you are forbidden to cry, let alone eat martabak in the morning, can be dangerous if your weight goes up."

Katherine reflexively threw back the martabak piece that was in her hand. The woman looked at her little daughter-in-law. "You're playing me huh, you must be happy to see me crying like this, right?"

Frey nodded quickly. "No madam, I just don't like to see that pretty face in tears, isn't it more beautiful if you smile?"

"There's no reason for me to smile" she replied, but it sounded softer than before

"really? Though you have everything, I'm envious."

"Dear?" repeat Katherine.

"Kasian once was your life" Katherine unknowingly took a tissue and gave it to Frey.

"Thank you madam."

"Hem." Katherine let out a rough breath, the woman then got out of her chair and walked towards the exit. Frey was just watching and following from behind, knowing that Katherine must not be okay.

"Would you like to take a walk outside?"

Katherine turned her head, Frey was already beside her. "This early in the morning?" ask with a surprised face.

"When I am sad, I will walk as far as possible, after I feel tired, I will sleep and when I wake up my sadness has lessened. You wanna try it?"

"But it's still morning!"

"It's precisely because it's still early so no one's looking at you."

"But you saw me."

"Yes, yes, too. Hem, let's just say I wind passes."

After thinking for a while, Katherine finally opened the main door and exited to her courtyard. The morning breeze that blew as if he did not feel, the woman walked around the fountain that was in the courtyard of his mansion, accompanied by Frey who followed behind her, the woman again shed her tears.

"Why don't you hate me?" he asked after a long time of silence and dissolved in sadness.

"Why should I hate you?" Frey steps ahead of Katherine, unknowingly following Freesia's footsteps.

"Since I first met, I've always been hostile to you, haven't you been mad at me?"

Frey walked around relaxed. "Sometimes I'm a little upset, but I know you're acting like that because you want Josh to have the best partner. If I had a child, I would have acted like you" she replied honestly, though Katherine always insulted her, but she did not hate the woman. "I hope you are a little more patient. Only five years, yes only five years madam, after that you won't see me again?"

"What do you mean?"

"Josh and I are married on a contract basis, we are bound in a mutually beneficial relationship. Josh married me because he didn't want his family to be ashamed and I married Josh because I needed the money, "what drove him, Frey suddenly told Katherine honestly, but Frey felt a little more relieved after telling the truth.

"You're serious?" katherine asked in disbelief.

"I'm serious, but the madam has to keep this a secret huh. If Lynda finds out, it's over!"

"How dare you tell me" said Katherine.

Frey chuckles. "I'm just asking for help, ma'am. And we've arrived!

Katherine looked forward, the woman was silent on the spot in disbelief at what she saw. "I was on the highway" he said.

"Hem, congratulations madam. Finally you can get out of the house" said Frey with a smile on his face

Katherine turned her head back, staring at the magnificent building that she had been locked away for the past ten years due to past trauma. Various treatments have been carried out by the woman, the best psychiatrist has come to cure the trauma and the results remain nil. However, along with the foreign girl he hated so much, he managed to pass through the magnificent wall that had been locking him up, he was even now on a paved road that he had not stepped on for a very long time.

"Frey, can I get out?" tanyanya is still in a state of disbelief.

"Yes madam. I don't know what kind of injury you have, but I'm sure you can get through it!"

"But how is it possible, I mean, I haven't been able to get out of the house in a long time. How did you get me out?"

"With love."

SERIATE...
