Eight Years of My Marriage

Laura

" Have you arrived yet?"

A message from a woman on Lion's phone

" Just arrived, I took a shower."

" Okay, don't forget to eat!"

The conversation ended there. Lion did not answer the woman's message. Lion is taking a shower after leaving the office. As usual Venus still likes to be curious about the contents of Lion's phone. Moreover, it looks clear as if something is wrong with what he reads. Her name is Laura. Like paying more attention to Lion. Lion himself responded well.

Huft

I'm doing just fine

Venus murmured in a soft heart.

Why did I open the phone?

Try not to open it, definitely will not hurt.

Chequelek

The bathroom door is open. Lion put his foot out.

Venus had prepared a cup of sweet tea and dinner for them. Venus and Lion sat face to face on the carpet and ate a dish that Venus had cooked this afternoon. After dinner as usual, Venus takes care of her and gets busy with their son Nuno who starts growing up every day. Venus kept silent without saying or asking who was Laura? why was Laura so considerate of Lion?

Venus still holds a big question mark. But what power. Venus has no power to watch over the Lion for 24 hours.

Lion sleeping in the back room. Lion did not want to be bothered with Nuno's cry. Venus could realize. Lion has been working all day. It doesn't matter if Lion never helped Venus take care of Nuno or helped with housework. Lion also does not demand the house must be neat and clean throughout the day. In fact, Venus is sometimes tired of herself, because she wants to always look neat and clean. And that even makes it a hassle of its own.

Venus peeked at Lion from the door of the room adjacent to the door of her room. As usual Lion was busy playing his phone facing the wall. It is clear that the phone screen is still on and Lion has not closed his eyes. Venus returns to the bed hugging their son Nuno.

Huft

I hope it's not a bad sign for my home.

Venus just gave birth to Nuno, should they be happy with the presence of Nuno. But it feels like the distance between Venus and Lion is getting farther.

Venus pulled the blanket and tried to close her eyes.

****

Next day. Venus cannot hide her feelings. His attitude could not be hidden from Lion

" You angry?"

Venus only shook her head once. Her lips were tightly closed, a flat knot smile with her face lowered.No words were spoken coming out of her lips.

" Don't lie."

" You always make me sad. It seems like you are very happy that I am angry and cry in a very long time

concurrently." Tears unconsciously dripped from the eye of Venus. " Who is Laura?

Looks like he's very considerate of you?"

Venus' lips vibrate. I want to shake off that jealousy. But it can't be done.

" Haha, office friend." Lion replied by playing his head as if mocking the jealousy of Venus.

" You're jealous, aren't you? You're afraid I'm cheating on you." Lion did not seem satisfied to play with his wife's feelings.

Lion grabbed and held Venus' right hand while sitting on the bed. Venus and Lion are next to each other. Lion sits on Venus' right shoulder.

" It's cheating if you catch me sleeping with another woman." Lion's lips so closely whispered those words in Venus's ear.

Venus did not react.

" I have to go to the office. You are always jealous for no reason. Cook yes all my lady office friends you suspect. Yes, if that's the story. Are all female employees replaced with all male employees, so you don't get jealous constantly."

Lion stepped out of the room. Just leave Venus. Open the main door and get into his car. Venus could only look at her through the front window next to the main door. Only a shirt with blue stripes and his back that was entering his car.
