CHECKMATE

Worried you

After a heated argument between her husband and Regina ended, Amanda went back into her room. The thirst that had been gnawing at his throat seemed to evaporate just like that. His mind floated far away, at the gray story that once enveloped him three years ago.

It was as if a secret was indirectly revealed that night. Now he understood the reason fate had hurt him, breaking his heart. That is so that he does not give up his heart to the wrong person.

Although he is not sure, Bastian is the right person for him, but Amanda has now made sure of his heart. She was ready to open her heart to the man who had become her husband. He also deserves happiness, and he promises to fight for that happiness.

Tired of his thoughts, he finally fell asleep. Drowning in a beautiful dream that he doesn't understand.

The next day as usual, Amanda cooks and prepares breakfast for him and Bastian. He didn't see Regina there.

As Amanda was arranging the food at the dinner table, Bastian appeared to walk out the door, heading towards her.

"Bastian, come here I've prepared breakfast for you" Amanda said with a smile

"Thank you Manda" he said

"You know I crave your cooking. You've been gone too long" replied Bastian with a sullen face

Although Amanda was upset by her husband's behavior, she chose not to respond to him. He decided to focus on his breakfast.

"Oh yes Bas, Regina where yes. From there on out of sight, is he still sleeping?" ask Amanda pretending not to know

"I've already kicked him out" Bastian replied briefly. It would seem that the man, did not want to discuss about Regina.

Amanda looked into her husband's eyes, as if asking for an explanation. That was certainly realized by Bastian. With a heavy heart, he told me everything. Tells how the debate he and Regina had last night, which was actually known by his wife.

"Even though I knew him before, but now everything is different. We're married, I don't want anyone else messing with our household" she said

Amanda was still silent, not wanting to say anything. She let her husband tell her what was on his mind.

"Amanda, it looks like we still have to keep hiding our marital status. I'm afraid Regina will do something bad to you if she finds out you're my wife,"

"I don't want you to get involved in my problems, what else if it's gonna hurt you,"

"Wherever you go, always tell me" Bastian said

There was clearly a sense of worry, drawn on the man's face. Think about the safety of his wife, and his household.

"Or, you better not work anymore. I can spare you Amanda. You just stay here, don't go anywhere,"

"Gosh, your bus is too much. Take it easy, I can take care of myself. As long as Regina doesn't know everything, then that bad thing, no Bas, no,"

Amanda was so sure, Regina would never be able to hurt her. Don't forget, Amanda is quite an influential person in this country. With the competent people he had, it was more than enough to guard himself, from the bad guys.

Regina was just a small problem, which she would easily solve. But as long as the woman did not bother him, then as long as it was, he would never deal with the woman.

"But Manda,---"

"Bas, trust me. Whatever's gonna happen, we're gonna get through it together,"

"Any outside force to destroy us, if we cooperate and trust each other. Then no one can destroy us" said Amanda trying to convince her husband
