CHECKMATE

Bastian Part II's Concerns

Ella was cleaning her private room when her phone rang. Making him forced to stop for a moment from cleaning activities to the nightstand where he put the flat object. Without much thought, he immediately raised the call

"Hallo, who's this with?" said Ella

"Hallo Miss, is this really Ella's friend Amanda Manuwella?" said the man across, without a stale ado

"I-iya's right. Sorry if I could tell who you are?" ask Ella carefully

"I'm Bastian Fernando, Amanda's husband. Sorry to bother Miss. I just wanted to ask for his phone number,.."

Bastian did not have time to continue speaking, Ella immediately interrupted his conversation. He didn't just give Amanda her phone number. And again the man confessed if he was her husband, how could they not exchange phone numbers, even though they were married.

"Sorry, I can't just give Amanda's phone number to anyone. What else with a stranger, who claims to be her husband. I've found too many people like that" Ella said. "My phone's closed, good afternoon,"

"Wait for Miss. I'm not lying, I'm Amanda's husband. Yesterday he didn't come home, I was worried about his condition,"

"Really, I'm not making this up. Please ask him directly about this. Please believe me" Bastian said, trying to convince Ella

Ella thought for a moment, trying to digest the man's words. Right, last night he drove Amanda to the girl's apartment. Amanda's married, she should have gone back to her husband's house. Ella gives Bastian her cell phone number.

"Let's say Manda, who knows it's important" Billy said

It seems that the man was a little distracted, as Amanda's phone kept ringing. If only he could have done more, he might have taken over the call, and scolded the man who dared to interrupt his time.

Amanda began to careless, she was eager to shout at people who had called her many times. However, when he reached for his phone, Ella's name appeared on the screen. He asked Billy for permission to take the call

"Hallo Ella, what's wrong?"

"Where are you douche?"

"I'm in the city park with Billy, Ella,"

"Did Bastian call you. He asked for your number. Yesterday why didn't you tell me to drive you to your husband's house. It seems like he's worried about you a lot"

".........."

Amanda was silent for a moment. Maybe the man was worried about her. Doesn't he care about Amanda's life.

"Amanda, what's going on between you and your husband. Why don't you tell me that" Ella said

"It's a long story Ella," slowly Amanda steps away from Billy

"Jeez Manda, you're married. Marriage is not for fooling around. He's your husband, you're his responsibility" Ella responded

"But Ella I.." Amanda's words were immediately cut off by Ella.

"Can't Manda, you have to go home. Talk all right with your husband. You can't be like this,"

"Yes, yes I'm home" Amanda said later

***

"Thank you Billy for today. I'm sorry I can't linger, I have to get in" Amanda told Billy

"You're okay, Manda, if there's a problem call me" Billy said, smiling at Amanda

"Billy, you be careful on the road" Amanda replied later.

He leaves Billy for the elevator that leads to their apartment

***

Amanda had arrived in front of her husband's apartment, slowly pressing the bell, waiting for the door to open. The figure of her husband from behind the door, the man looked so messy. His appearance looks chaotic and disheveled. When he saw his wife, he immediately embraced the woman's body. He looked happy, his wife was fine

"I'm sorry Manda. I wasn't serious about my words yesterday" Bastian said slightly sobbing

Amanda was a little surprised at her husband's treatment

What's wrong with this man. She didn't drink wrong, feeling, I didn't do anything to her. Inwardly

Slowly Amanda returned the hug, patting her husband on the back. But suddenly, the body felt heavy, immediately Bastian's body collapsed. Amanda almost fell to the floor, so she could hold her husband's body. With all his might he laid on the living room sofa

"So, I'm sorry he fainted. He didn't turn it off" Amanda panicked.

He tried to shake the man's body

"I hope he just fainted. I don't want to deal with the police. I have to how this is. Aah it's Ella, "

Amanda took her phone and called Ella

"Ella, to Bastian's apartment now. You bring a doctor here. Bastian fainted, I'm afraid he died Ella" Amanda cried in fear on the phone

"Sabar Manda, he I'll be there. I'll bring a doctor too. Don't forget to send me your address,"
