CHECKMATE

Baffled

"Amanda, the project of building an elite apartment in City X has begun to progress" Ella said

"Sir Billy, ask you to be with him to monitor directly on the field, how it's going" he continued

Amanda read Ella's story. Getting out of town on business is nothing new to him. But this time it looks complicated. The fact that she was married, of course where she went, she had to ask her husband's permission. How should he explain this matter. Bastian was still angry with him.

"Can't that be represented by Ella?" ask Amanda

"You mean?" ella was confused

"You know I'm married. I need a reason to ask Bastian for permission" Amanda said

"Can't be Amanda. The party from Senada Group, asking you to take the field," replied Ella

"What should I tell him. He's still mad at me" she said in a frustrated tone

In such a difficult situation, could he choose again? Choosing not to get married, even if he was allowed to ask for more, he did not want to keep secret who he was to Bastian.

"Do you have no desire to be honest with Bastian, Manda?" ask Ella

"If you keep everything a secret to him, there may be new problems that will be more complicated than this" Ella said

"I haven't thought that far about Ella. I don't know how to explain it to him either. Not yet when she knows who I am,"

"Then how long do you keep lying? You think about everything. Don't let him know first. Especially if he knows it from someone else,"

Amanda doesn't think with Ella's mind. Instead of giving good advice, it makes him even more plunged into a world of confusion.

***

Amanda chose to go home early today. Putting the entire company's business to Ella. He plans to prepare a night for Bastian, before the man returns home. Hopefully Bastian will not be angry with him, so the chances for him to ask permission will be greater.

The day has started at night. The clock is at seven o'clock in the evening. At this hour, it's usually Bastian's time to get home from work. As Amanda was arranging their dinner, she saw the figure of the man she was waiting for from behind the door. With a full smile engraved on her face, Amanda rushed to greet her husband.

"You've come home, Bastian, you must be very tired. Take a shower, I'll be waiting for you. I've already prepared dinner" Amanda said excitedly

"Huh, just keep going like that. There was no sweetness to his wife" Amanda told herself

"If I knew he was still angry, I wouldn't bother to go home early, just to prepare dinner for him" she said

***

Amanda was waiting for her husband at the dinner table. Hope to worry, hopefully the man, will eat with him this time.

Soon, what he was waiting for finally came. Still with an expressionless flat face, Bastian sat his body on the chair. Usually he would wait for Amanda to get his food. However, as he was pretending to be angry, he took his own food, to perfect his role

"Let me just Bas" Amanda said, detaining Bastian

"No need, I can do it myself" he said, not caring

"But, Bas----,"

"You want me to eat or not" Bastian said slightly higher. He didn't give Amanda a chance to talk

All right, Amanda better shut up. Let Bastian do as he pleases. They ate their dinner in silence. No one wants to start a conversation.
