False Passion (Selfish Marriage)

66. Stay Separate

Benn left Eril and Evan at his parents' house for almost a week. Not once did Benn go visit the two of them. Although later the mama was quite noisy to ask if there was a problem between them to Benn, but Benn still did not want to take Eril at the house of the mother.

Feeling that the wife is still disappointed and angry at him. Because Eril never texted and called to be picked up or any phrase that indicates if the woman wants to meet. Eril did not expect Benn to appear in front of him.

Benn has been feeling bad lately. Feeling yourself being slammed. Especially with Eril's attitude still unchanged, there was no progress at all. Feeling helpless and useless as a husband.

No longer confident to coerce, restrain, or be as hard on his wife as he used to be. Benn felt weak when faced with Eril. Being a man with no power. And the man who is in shortage.

🌶🌶🌶

The man, who looked sturdy and dashing in a tie-in work coat, was speeding along with his car towards the Irawan's Family restaurant in the middle of the day. Very excited to go.

The expected and much awaited during this time materialized. Eril sent a message to meet this afternoon. Benn welcomed me and invited me to lunch.

The face that was always folded tightly looked bright and handsome. Given the possibility if his wife really wants to meet and could be longing. The heart that had shrunk is now slightly expanded warmly. Benn is very warm.

"Assalamu'alaikum,!" greetings Benn exclaimed. Eril wasn't waiting at the inner table. But it's out with Evan. Sit in front of the restaurant.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Benn,!" exclaim Eril gave a reply. Benn threw a stiff smile at the handsome toddler sitting alone beside his mother.

"How are you, Ril,?" Benn just smiled faintly at Eril. There was no warm smile for her. Eril is not what he used to be. Benn's heart felt bad again.

"good. Benn, I want to talk to you" said Eril, looking stiffly at Benn.

"Let's go to the table" said Benn flatly. Walk in front and Eril follows with Evan.

Benn brought Eril to the privacy desk in the room. The couple sat far away facing each other.

"Well, let's talk about what, huh,?" benn asked with a feeling of uncertainty. And Eril let out a long sigh.

"Benn, I want to go back to my house, okay,?" eril asked, sounding.

"I want to relax for a while, Benn." replied Eril lowered his head. Evan was watching the fish in the aquarium.

"Casual? You're not happy living with me, are you,?" benn asked with a cold aura. There is no more warmth between husband and wife.

Eril just fell silent.

"You want to leave me? Going away from me? It has not been six months, Ril," said Benn lazily. But there was hope that Eril would change his mind and desire.

"It's not like that, Benn. You if there is a need, can still visit and meet me, I will still see you, Benn." explained Eril in a sad tone.

Benn frowned and squinted his eyes. The vehement of conditions dictated his head.

"You and Evan can stay separate from me. But I'll find a place for you. If you don't want to, don't even think about staying away from me." said Benn desperately strengthening his heart.

Hoping with a rebar for Eril to agree. Otherwise, and still wanting to return to his old house, Benn could no longer feign strength and restrain. However, Benn is in fact in a severe crisis of confidence.

"Alright, Benn. That doesn't matter. Importantly, I have my own privacy with my son" Eril finally welcomed.

Ah, Benn is relieved. A little comforted, Eril still had obedience to him. Although he still insisted on living apart from himself.

"Thank you, you want to follow my terms, Ril. I'll find a place for you as soon as possible" said Benn honestly and at the same time promising.

"Together, Benn. I'm sorry, yes" said Eril with a bow.

Benn did not nod or say. Silently continued to look at Eril who was looking down.

The food Benn requested before entering the privacy room was delivered. They began to eat with silence, there was no spirit to talk to each other. The contents of the head are like being filled by the burden of their own problems.
