CHECKMATE

Bastian's Concerns Part I

In a nightclup, Bastian and his friends are gathering to talk about things that are not worthwhile. Whether it's about the girl they're sleeping with or which girl they're going to play with in bed tonight.

That's nothing new for Bastian. Spend a long night with the ladies. But tonight, he's not interested in it at all.

His mind floated far away on the cold-faced woman he had only been married to forcibly for a few days. Who the girl really was, why she was like two different people. When they first met, the girl looked so messy. He could still see the fear in the girl's eyes.

On the first night of their marriage, he saw clearly how the girl was crying and in pain. However, how could the girl turn cold. The glare of his sharp eyes gushed out the deepest part of his heart. Continuing to think of the girl made her head dizzy.

He then thought, lest the girl be here. Did he just look for her. But wouldn't he care about that girl? Bastian was dizzy with his own thoughts. It had already filled his throat by about five cans of beer. The sound of music made him feel dizzy. But he tried to control himself

"Bas why? What the hell are you thinking? Irfan asked Bastian

"I don't know either, lately I've had a lot of Fan's thoughts" Bastian said

"Hahahah, that means you need the caress and release of the bus. Just relax. Enjoy the time tonight. Looks like there are a lot of pretty girls here tonight. You choose one, Bas" said Irfan provoking Bastian's thoughts

The influence of alcohol is strong enough to make Bastian can not think normally. He left Irfan and pulled one of the girls to warm up the bed tonight. Whether because of alcohol or because he was thinking about his wife, he saw the girl was very similar to his wife Amanda. Unknowingly, he shouted to call the girl's name

"Amanda, it's Amanda. Sweetheart you're so pretty, you're so seductive. Serve me tonight, serve your husband" Bastian said.

He was completely unaware of what he was doing. His mind kept floating calling out the name of the girl

***

After a long, hot night, Bastian awakens. He realized himself, without a thread in his body. He saw beside him a woman sleeping. Just like her, wearing nothing. He was a little surprised, it turns out that the woman is not Amanda his wife.

What happened to his wife, what if his wife complained to her parents. His father would be furious. No, he can't panic. He should look fine. He immediately took his clothes and put them on, then left the girl. He thought of nothing, all he thought of was his wife, and his own fate. He rushes to his car, trying to call his father Ardi Fernando

"Hallo Dad..," Bastian said after the call was connected.

"Hallo Bas, what's wrong? Are you okay, how's your wife, son? When will you visit us. Your mother misses her daughter-in-law" Ardi said, laughing

For a moment Bastian digested his father's words. He concluded one thing Amanda wasn't there and then where was the woman. Aaah she's getting panicked

"Well, my dad is fine. Don't worry about us too much" he said.

"Bas just wanted to know the news of Father and Mother" he said again

"We're fine, son. Take care of yourself and your wife. Say hello to Father and Mother to him," said Ardi

Bastian then drove his car to his apartment. His feelings were not out of order, his heart was in a mess. He cannot think clearly. Amanda's face kept dancing in her head. Where's his wife, where he slept last night.

What if the woman was why. Bastian is really panicking. Although she does not love Amanda, the girl is her responsibility as long as she is her husband. Bastian blames himself if he doesn't drink too much, maybe he can go home and wait for his wife. It could be that the woman went back to her apartment, waiting for her to open the door. Aaah, Bastian's frustrated

Arriving at his apartment, he immediately ran to look around him. No trace of his wife. He then contacted the security guard there. Asked if he saw his wife last night. But the result is nil. He's getting panicked. Where's wife.

He returned to his apartment, trying to calm down. He threw himself down, he really couldn't think clearly now. All right, he'll sleep first, recover his energy and mind. Maybe his wife will come back.
