CHECKMATE

Out of Town

Seeing the suitcase in Amanda's hand, Bastian thought his wife was leaving him. Not knowing what to do, what he was thinking now was to prevent the woman.

As fast as lightning, he headed for his wife, pulling the woman's hand, preventing her from leaving.

"Don't go Manda, everything we can still talk about is fine" he said with a clear face

Amanda scrunched her forehead confused, looking at her husband's behavior. The man was like a child, who grumbled at his mother. Looks like there's a lot Amanda doesn't know about her husband. He may look like a ferocious tiger, but in others he can turn into a spoiled cat.

Amanda could not help her lips from laughing, looking at the blushing face of the man.

"Are you okay?" say Amanda while laughing

"You're not dreaming, are you?" said Amanda convinced herself

Bastian doesn't care what his wife says. He kept holding the woman's hand tightly

"Amanda don't go, we talk about everything well. I'm sorry" Bastian said again and again

This confused Amanda. How strange her husband is.

"Hey Bastian, what's wrong? You're doing okay, right? Don't act so strange this morning,"

"Look at yourself is neat, already handsome. But her behavior is God, beyond the normal human nature," said Amanda again still did not stop laughing at her husband's attitude

"Calm down, calm down. Breathe in... throw out..pulse again. Speak clearly,"

For a while Bastian calmed himself down. Breathe in and exhale it into the air

"How can I be okay, you want to fight. You're leaving me, aren't you?" bastian said

"Don't go, I'm sorry about what happened a few days ago" he said

While laughing Amanda spoke to her husband

"Jeez Bastian, so next time someone talks it up in the listen, in the notice,"

"Come let me tell you. Today I'm going out of town,"

"Oh my God, you're acting like a girl. Are you a double-personality human?" joking

"Listen to me first, I haven't finished talking yet" he said again

"I went to City X, for a meeting. You could say a kind of workshop. Many other employees followed him. The goal is to improve the ability of employees who work in the Opportunity Group" explained Amanda, as much as possible.

"Ah how many days will you be gone" said Bastian

"You left without preparing food for me. Breakfast in the morning, what lunch do I have?" spoiled

Amanda was worried to hear the man's rambling

"Yesterday you didn't have breakfast, and didn't bring lunch. That's why today I didn't prepare it for you,"

"I'll be starving as long as you're gone. How many days were you there, Manda?"

"Ah, spoiled this husband of mine," he said amusedly

"Not long, just three days,"

Somehow hearing that, Bastian's heart was a little unwilling to be lived by his wife. Even though it was only three days, he did not know how he could survive without her.

"That's old Manda. I will definitely miss you,"

It seems Amanda also felt heavy hearted leaving her husband. The man who was a few months old, always accompanied his days. Moreover, he felt guilty for lying to the man, on the grounds of his disappearance. Never mind, this is the choice he has chosen. Inevitably he had to drown in the next lies

"I'm sorry, Bastian, but I have to go. Take care of yourself, yes" she said gently while rubbing the back of her husband's hand

"I will always tell you every day. Take care of your health, and don't forget to eat,"

"I'm going yes. I will definitely return" he said with a smile

The two of them hugged each other, before he finally left. Bastian stared at his wife's back which slowly disappeared from behind the apartment door
