CHECKMATE

Small Attention

At Sebastian's family-owned company, it appears that an important meeting planned a few days ago has been postponed. There are few obstacles that occur in some other companies that are under the auspices of that company. Fix the problem first, then make a meeting agreement the next time.

Bastian didn't seem to care much about the pending meeting. He thought, The universe is being kind. He had planned to surprise his wife when he returned home. Imagining his wife's face alone, it was enough to add positive energy in him. He no longer lied to himself, that he was not interested in the girl. Who would have thought, the marriage he did not want, the wife he so hated, was able to melt his heart. Her perspective on women has now changed, ever since she got to know Amanda. His hardworking and simple personality makes Bastian admire the figure of his wife. Ah that girl, why so awesome.

Long wrestled with his own thoughts, thinking of his wife made him miss the girl.

What are you doing now, Manda? Are you busy, with your work. I'm very attuned to what you're doing there. I miss you, do you too? Inwardly

"Ah better, I just sent her a short message. Maybe with me giving small attention can make it melt," Bastian said to himself. He picked up his phone on his desk, started texting his wife

"Manda, what are you doing? Are you busy right now?"~Bastian

There was no need to wait long, for Bastian to receive a reply from his wife

"No bus, I'm free. What's up, you meeting? It is not good for a company leader to play mobile phones during a meeting! You should set a good example for your shoulder,"~Amanda

Look how attractive that girl is. Bastian even thought, if now his wife was lecturing him directly. He again imagined his wife's face, smiling

"I'm out for a minute, to let you know. Who knows you might miss me?"~Bastian

"I don't miss the Bus, you don't be so confident. Don't bother me, I want to continue my work. You too, continue following the meeting,"~Amanda

"Don't forget your lunch. I don't want to see where you're stocking, containing the food you brought this morning,"~Amanda

***

When the clock came home from work, Bastian immediately rushed to go home to his apartment. He stopped by the flower shop first, trying to find flowers for his wife. He wanted to surprise the girl. He had already confirmed that his wife had come home earlier than him.

With a full smile attached to Bastian's handsome face, he stepped down the hallway towards his apartment. His left hand held a bouquet of flowers, while his right hand pressed some of the apartment codes. The door opened, but there was no sign of his wife. The atmosphere of the apartment was exactly the same as when they left for work this morning. Maybe Amanda's in her room. With wide strides, he started towards his wife's room. But the room was empty, Amanda wasn't there.

With a look of disappointment, Bastian sat his body on his bed. Putting the flower that he was holding on the big bed was careless. As he was not disappointed, his high expectations of making a surprise for his wife led to failure. He took his cell phone out of his pocket and contacted his wife, with a breath of emotion.

"Where are you?" it sounds impatient

"Hallo Bastian, what's wrong? I'm in the apartment. What time are you coming home?" said the girl relaxed. It seems she has not realized what is going on between her and her husband

"You dare lie to your husband?" bastian said it's starting to rise

"What do you mean, Bas, I can't possibly lie to you. Have your meeting resumed, and come home soon, I'll be waiting for you,"

"Don't test my patience Manda, tell me where you are. I'm at the apartment, and you're not there at all,"

"You're home yet?" amanda said, sounding panicked

"You'll be here in ten minutes, or you'll send me your address and I'll pick him up?"
