CHECKMATE

Don't Want to Talk

"Right now you're safe because of Amanda, you son of a bitch. Once again you dare to take Amanda away, you will accept the consequences. I'm not messing around" said Bastian staring intently at Billy

"Who are you, huh! Amanda has the right to go anywhere and be with anyone," said Billy still not want to lose.

"Let's go Manda, let's get out of here. I'll take you home" Billy said again as he pulled Amanda's hand

"How many times have I warned you, never touch it" cried Bastian

Billy could no longer hold back his anger, and in the next second, a punch he slammed into Bastian's face.

"I'm warning you this time Bastian, even though you're his cousin, you have no right to rule his life. You should know your position" Billy said. His hand still holds Bastian's collar

"You dare me, asshole!" one blow Bastian managed to make Billy fall on the restaurant floor.

Amanda's really freaking out this time. Looking at the look on the faces of the two men, it was clear that the anger was so sharp.

"Stop Bastian, I beg you!" yelled Amanda frustrated. No matter what she had in mind, she hugged her husband's body again, hoping it could make him melt

"Please don't embarrass yourself. Let's get Bastian home" she said, clasping her husband's hand, demanding the man leave the restaurant

"Our business isn't done yet, asshole!" he shouted before he actually left the place. Bastian still holds a temper tantrum towards Billy

The current night crowd of the capital city, did not affect the two husbands and wives at all. Choose to be immersed in each other's thoughts. Amanda stared out the car window, while Bastian chose to focus on driving, without caring about Amanda. His anger had subsided a little, but he still held a sense of disappointment in the girl. Just look at the girl, instead of apologizing, not caring about her husband.

Unlike Amanda, she was thinking about what she should say to her husband. He was wrong, but he thought it was more wrong there was Bastian. How could the man humiliate himself in public like that. God, Amanda's whole life didn't know how to deal with a situation like that.

They were still silent, until their car headed to the apartment basemant.

"We need to talk to Bastian" Amanda said.

"I don't want to talk right now" Bastian said

"You shouldn't have hit Billy, Bas. He's not wrong," Amanda said again

"Then it's everyone's fault, just keep defending the man" Billy said half-screaming

"Not so, Bas"

"Quite Manda, I don't want to hear anything anymore. Can you respect me as your husband?"

"Bastian, listen to my explanation first,"

"I'm really disappointed in Manda" Bastian said. He got out of the car, leaving Amanda still staring at his disappearance

"Bastian wait a minute. We need to talk about this all right." Amanda half ran after her husband

"There's nothing more to talk about Amanda. Everything is clear, you never appreciate me. You're not apologizing to me,"

"Here I want to apologize, Bas. How can I explain everything, if you don't want to listen to me,"

"Okay, I'm sorry, I left without asking you for permission. It was all my fault, Bas,"

"Are you sure it was your fault?"

"You mean, my God, Bastian, me and Billy have nothing to do with it. Trust me, Bastian, we're just office mates. That's just no more,"

"Have you spoken enough?"

"Bastian,-"

"Think carefully what your mistake is" said Bastian and left his wife, heading to his apartment
