Dear Wife of Mr. Noah

Section 42

Five years have passed, the relationship between Noah and Clara is still the same. More often there is a debate of small things and indifferent nature. Five years is certainly not a short time for Clara to go through. Being a wife without love, touch let alone relate like a husband and wife, ah! That's not possible.

Sometimes Noah caught Clara not wearing anything in the dressing room. It's not a normal guy if Noah isn't tempted. Ego and prestige held him to this very moment.

"Your face is ready" said Clara as soon as Noah came out of the bathroom.

That's just what Clara does every day. Waking up the husband, preparing all the needs of the husband, cooking, and others. Certainly not included with the praise of love and friendly word.

"I'll wait in the dining room" Clara continued.

Noah just cleared his throat without saying.

This morning, Clara was tidy earlier than Noah. He took a bath at about five o'clock, as today plans to take Jou to school as usual. The appearance is simple but fashionable, of course, had made Noah steal a view.

When Clara was gone, Noah's brain started wandering around imagining Clara's look today. Her body is tall and slim, certainly can be said sexy. The back circle that stood out due to the tight span dress, managed to make Noah swallow the saliva. For the front, Noah did not pay too much attention because it was covered in jeans blazer.

"I won't be interested in him!" tepis Noah instantaneously. "I have to hold back. I could have been all this time, right?"

Noah shuddered quickly then immediately put on his clothes.

"It's just a momentary admiration of my man's instinct. Yeah, I think so." Noah kept dodging what he was feeling right now when he got close or saw Clara.

Noah is ready, in the dining room Clara has already enjoyed her breakfast with Jou who of course is now 5 years old.

Jou who began to grow, looks not much different to Noah. Thick eyelashes, white skin, brown hair and blue eyes. What Noah's body had seemed to be passed down to Jou.

"Mom, today brings me to school, right?" jou asked with a mouth full of bread.

Clara rubbed Jou's chin with a smile. "Of course, honey. I'm gonna go to your grandmother's boutique."

Jou looks excited and then continues to enjoy his breakfast. Not long after that, Noah came to join us for breakfast.

"Morning, Dad!" greet Jou.

Noah simply replied with a smile while rubbing Jou's hair.

The breakfast process takes place, as usual Jou always secretly observes the behavior of his father and mother who defecate. Jou was astonished because all this time they only spoke a little and rarely even joked in front of him.

"Daddy love Mommy?" jou asked suddenly while looking at Noah and Clara alternately.

Clara immediately swallowed her food that had not been perfectly chewed, while Noah cleared his throat while rubbing the tip of his nose. They both look wrong.

"Why silence?" Jou said back.

Rather than feeling unnerved nervous, Clara immediately sat down to shift closer, then embrace Jou's shoulder.

"Of course Daddy loves Mommy."

"really?" Jou stared at the twinkle towards Clara. "But, I've heard Daddy yell at Mommy a lot."

Degh's! Clara was stunned, slowly turning her gaze towards Noah. Because it has become his character, Noah does not look too fond of Jou's words.

"It seems, Daddy doesn't love me either" said Noah again who made Clara scream.

"Why do you think that, honey?" Clara cupped both of Jou's cheeks. "Of course I love you." Clara glanced at Noah, flashing the code.

Instead of answering, Noah even glared. He took a sip of water and stood up. "It's noon, I'm leaving first."

Clara's disappointment was clearly visible, even with Jou. Already Clara observed, this month Noah's attitude indifferent even worse.

"Look at it, Mom. Daddy was always like that. He doesn't love us both." Jou stared at Clara. "Why, Mom?"

Clara sighed and then rubbed Noah's head. Although it felt sliced, but the arch of a smile on Clara's lips was still visible.

Jou knew her mother was switching the conversation. At the age of five, curiosity must be very big. However, every want to force ask for an explanation, Jou always undo the intention of not having the heart with his mother.

Inwardly, despite the indifferent hue, Clara still felt sliced. Five years into this wedding, but it's still the same as a stranger. Though truthfully expecting a touch, Clara did not want to hope. Clara realized until this moment Noah's heart is still difficult to reach.

"Mommy," call Jou who is sitting in the seat next to Clara who is driving.

"Yes, Honey. Why?" sahut Clara's.

"Why is Mommy silent? Mommy's face looks pathetic."

Still focusing on driving, Clara stuck out one hand rubbing Jou's cheek. "Mommy's fine. Just a little tired."

Jou nodded even though he was sure his mother was thinking about something.

A few minutes later, the car stopped at the school. After kissing her cheek and the back of her palm, Jou immediately got out of the car. Through the open window glass, Clara waved her hand which was immediately returned by Jou.

"Maybe it was you who kept Mommy afloat" muttered Clara as she looked at Jou who ran into the school building.

Not long after that, Clara turned her car around. Once it has turned towards the highway, suddenly someone standing still in the muzzle of his car. Luckily, Clara gasped and pulled her car straight away.

Clara rounded her eyes, lips open staring at someone out there. A woman with curly hair along the elbow of the arm, standing while stretching out both hands.

"Chloe?" chirps Clara then.

There, still in front of the muzzle of his car, Clara now knows who the woman is. A woman who has long disappeared and destroyed her life.

Geck! Geck!

Chloe knocked on the car glass. "Get out!"

Clara shuts down the car engine, takes off her delivery belt and then drops off.

"Chloe?" Clara still could not believe that the woman standing before her right now was Cloe.

In front of Clara, Chloe's haughty nature is still visible. He put on a shitty face making Clara want to vomit.

"When are you here?" ask Clara.

Chloe snorted and then grinned. "Is this your welcome to me?"

"I have no intention of welcoming you," Clara said no less indifferently.

"You should be glad I came, because soon you'll be free."

Whatdoes thatmean? Free of what? Clara is confused.

"Do mom and dad know you're home?" ask Clara again.

Chloe laughs. "of course. They're even so happy to see me back."

Clara's heart felt really sliced. Five years has not been able to reach Noah's heart, it turns out because Chloe will return. Maybe they'll be reunited soon.

"It's their work" Clara's mind.

"Tonight I'm coming to see Noah. I hope you don't mind" Chloe said with a grin.

"Of course not. Please meet as you please
