Delanie (Not a Wives Bet)

Guns for eating, sir

Ricardo was silent at breakfast at the dinner table, I also hesitated to say hello or just give a kiss on the cheek. I really wanted to do it but I was too proud because Ricardo was always aggressive to me.

" I accept your decision Delanie, from next month I will be with Nurse Nur" Ricardo said in a cold tone.

" Byurrr"

Like slaps and splashes of ice water infiltrating my heart, I trembled as Ricardo said he agreed with the decision I made.

" Be..... Is it true??" I said in a stammering sentence, It feels like my heart has floated because of Ricardo's approval

" This is what you want and I grant it, now that I'm starting to understand what you want, there's nothing I need to defend" Ricardo said

I only smiled bitterly when Ricardo left without leaving a kiss on his forehead or on his lips as he left. It hurts so much when Ricardo is really indifferent and doesn't care about me.

Tears did not flow on my cheeks when I saw Ricardo completely disappear with his car, without the words of love that he always said in the morning or even all day

To atone for my guilt I decided to bring Ricardo lunch. I don't want our relationship to be strained because of the problems that come from me.

In my spirit I dress up as beautiful as possible by bringing a bushel containing Ricardo's favorite dishes that I make myself.

Once he reached Ricardo's room he ignored me, not as usual. Usually if I come Ricardo will immediately stand up and kiss me a few times even we do not hesitate to make love in the room.

" I brought some food" I said as I approached, but Ricardo remained silent

" Dad!!" whining me again with a heavier voice and also seemed spoiled in order to attract the attention of Ricardo

" I don't want to eat at the office this afternoon I'm planning to have lunch with Nur and discuss my agreement to be with him"

Again I was like I was slapped with that sentence, I wanted to cry and say I didn't approve of it. With all my might I held back my tears from coming out in front of Ricardo

" But I've cooked for you mas, at least accompany me to lunch" I asked again

"Mas why the hell?? why are you so angry??" I said I couldn't stand Ricardo's attitude anymore

Ricardo finally looked at me with his cold gaze no longer the usual love shining from his two eyeballs.

" Why should I be angry ?? I'm not mad at Delanie.I'm just doing what you want" Ricardo said expressionlessly.

" But you're different and this isn't who you really are" I said half-screaming

" It's not what you want, just imagine if I'm with Nur for a year. I wish I could stay away from you because it would really happen"

" Yes"

I screamed because Ricardo really left me in his room again. My tears were flowing back rapidly, now I know what if Ricardo would really go and be with Nur.

" No. No, that's not going to happen"

I ran after Ricardo where I was looking for him but unfortunately Ricardo like he's gone from the office area..

" Why should I cry non Delanie isn't this what you want" Bi Jida said after I returned home.

" Don't make me more guilty Bi, my head is almost broken right now" I said as I stomped my forehead which was getting hot and pulsating.

" This is the name of mister non's eating weapon, I've repeatedly said never say things that will make you regret" said Bi Jida

" How is this Bi?? What if Ricardo had to be with Nur for one year, I would really die" I said as I placed my head on the table

"Nasi has become a non porridge, now be prepared to lose Mr. Ricardo for one year or even for good"
