CHECKMATE

Pick you up home

Amanda was still focused on her work, when her phone rang, signaling a call coming in. Not too concerned with that, he still focused on staring at the screen of his laptop. His work will soon be completed, a responsibility once if he has to respond to the call. Let's just say, I'll call him later too.

Ten minutes later, it seems that the work is done, the day has also shown at five in the afternoon, it is time to go home. Amanda recalled the phone, picked up her phone, then checked who called her. Bastian's name is on his phone screen.

For a moment he smiled, as he expected, the man would look for him. Wait a minute, he'll definitely call. Sure enough, Bastian contacted him shortly.

This time he no longer smiled, as he laughed, displaying a row of white and neat teeth. If this is the case, he does not have to work hard to make the man fall on his charm. He finally accepted the call. He was silent, waiting for the person across there to start the conversation.

"Hallo Amanda" Bastian said, starting the conversation

"Eem, why? I have nothing to do with you" Amanda said, pretending not to care

"Are you still mad at me? You've been leaving the house for three days, Manda. Don't you miss your husband, huh?" ask Bastian tease.

"No, I never miss you. Anyway on what basis do I miss you," Amanda said

"Are you really? Huh, even though I miss you so much here," said Bastian laughing

"It's finished base the base. Tell me what you mean call me,"

"Here is Manda, let's make up. If we are so far apart, how can the relationship between us improve. Okay, I'm sorry, I was getting carried away with emotions,"

"......."

"Hallo, are you still there, Manda? Come on, you're still in your office. Have you come home, I'll pick you up,"

"I don't want to, I'll go home alone,"

"Oh Amanda, let's just say it's my apology,"

"I don't want to,"

"Don't let me pull you out when you get out, Manda. I've been waiting for you,"

"Not much talk. Hurry home, I've been waiting for you in front of the company you work for,"

"Hey, still angry?" ask Bastian when they're in the car

"No. I'm not mad" Amanda said, staring out the car window, enjoying the beauty of the night along their way home

Seeing his wife's reaction, Bastian chose to drive his car, immersed in the silence they created. Bastian thought, maybe Amanda needs some time to start over. Their relationship, which is not so good, is getting worse due to the events of a few days ago.

Seeing Bastian who was also silent, Amanda felt bad. Is his action excessive? As long as he goes what the man does. Is Bastian sick, like that time?

Amanda remembers, when they fought for the first time. She looked at her husband's face. Will the man who has become her husband not hurt her? Can he give his whole heart to that man? Was this man nearby the right person, who had been destined for him? Muttering with so many questions, he did not realize that Bastian was paying attention to his behavior

"Hey, what's up. Why look at me like that? Are you admiring how handsome your husband is?" bastian's asking surprised Amanda

"Eeeh what, no. You're too confident Bastian" Amanda said, hitting her husband's arm.

Reduced his nervousness, having been caught off guard, noticed the man.

"Hahahah, if it's true it's not a Manda's problem either. I'm glad you noticed me. As long as we're together, I've never seen you that way"

"I wish forever to stay that way. I'm your husband, don't look at other men, it's just me" he said with a smile

"Eeemmm," said Amanda misbehaved.

Since when did Bastian become like this. She painstakingly neutralized her heartbeat, which had been pounding incoherently, ever since that sentence came out of her husband's lips

Bastian was only stunned to witness his wife's reaction. That woman looks so sweet. From the right side of her face, it looks so beautiful. What if you look from the front, what else from above, hihihi
