Forced Mate

Hidden Truth

Alex goes into Ayu's house. He couldn't wait to meet his wife. Only two days had not met and she had already missed Ayu, as well as the baby in the belly of the woman.

"have you come home?" Ayu greeted Alex with a smile on her cheek. He misses Alex so much, not the man's cooking or attention, but Alex - really Alex completely.

Alex hugs Ayu tightly - kissing her forehead, cheeks, and anything she can smell.

"I Miss you like crazy," I'm Alex. He leaned over Ayu's cheeks with both hands and pressed his lips against her.

"I Miss you too," Ayu replied after releasing Alex's kiss.

"Eat already?" ask Ayu who is still attached to Alex's chest.

"No, I deliberately didn't eat because we promised to cook for me."

"Well, what do you want to eat?"

"What Karin ate yesterday" Alex replied, "you should know I'm a very jealous man."

Ayu laughed a little. "I love it when you're jealous, but when you're jealous of Karin."

"Oh, I think I'm starting to get jealous of our son now." Alex stroked Ayu's stomach, "ah, I'm a bad father."

Ayu hits Alex's arm. "Truely, being jealous of your own child doesn't make sense."

"I know," said Alex, "maybe it's because I love you too much, baby."

Ayu pulled both corners of her lips. He remembers Alex saying that he loved her to Karin. Seeing Alex's concern and treatment, she felt that the man did indeed love her very much. Her husband was even willing to go back to Singapore-Jakarta for her sake when the man had business.

"Alright, Honey. You clean yourself first and I'll make a special spagety for you" said Ayu, then tiptoed to give a kiss on the man's cheek.

Ah, Ayu today is so sweet. Last afternoon, the woman even called first.this time, she called Alex with a call Dear, whereas all this time Ayu often felt disgusted if called dear. Hopefully Ayu will not turn into a wild lion. She likes this sweet and loving Ayu.

"Need help?" haggar Alex.

Ayu shook her head and pushed Alex away. "No, I can do it myself."

"I don't want you to be exhausted, honey." Alex stroked Ayu's hair.

"Didn't I promise to cook for you. After all, you always cook and take good care of me" Ayu said, "now, you sit outside and watch or read. Let me cook in peace."

Alex complies and exits towards the living room. He has a new book on how to be a standby husband to accompany a wife in caring for a newborn baby. Although, Ayu's gestational age was only about to enter the second trimester, she felt the need to learn everything now. He wants all the best for Ayu and her son.

"Ta-da!" Ayu comes with a plate of spagety bologna, "a special spagety full of love from Ayu."

Alex grabs the plate from Ayu, then bribes the spaghetti. Meanwhile, Ayu was already sitting next to Alex to wait for the man's opinion.

"Well, it tastes so good," praise Alex mean it.

"Who used to make it, Ayu." Ayu commended herself. "

"My wife is very good at cooking. It's not wrong I'm riding with you, honey." Alex pinches Ayu's cheek.

.

"Yes you can cook, I can't, my dear!" Ayu grabbed Alex's arm and leaned there comfortably.

"Your cooking is the best." Alex continued to praise even as they were ready for bed.

"The reason is, you definitely just don't want to cook anymore, do you?"

Alex shook his head in denial. "I'm serious, honey."

Ayu chuckles and enters Alex's arms. Alex's hand stroked his cheek, he raised his face and smiled at Alex.

"She's fine, too" said Alex, "whom was troubled was only my living room that she had destroyed.and also my back that was forced to sleep on the sofa."

"Why are you sleeping on the couch?"

"I'm not interested in fucking Jonny," Alex replies.

Ayu hits Alex in the chest. "You can share a bed."

"And let him hug me? No, just imagining it is disgusting." Alex's face looks disgusted according to his words, "he looks like you when drunk, likes to hug."

Ayu held her head from Alex's chest. She looked at her husband. How dare Alex discuss the matter of that shameful night.

"Why?" alex asked who caught the angry face on Ayu's face.

"Don't talk about it anymore!"

"Why? You should know it's a wonderful memory that I won't forget. Without that night, I wouldn't hug you like this." Alex pulls Ayu deeper in his arms, also peeping at the top of the wife's head.

She smiled in Alex's arms. "You're not sorry, if we didn't see you that night, you don't need this shot."

"I'm happy, honey," Alex said, "i've never been this happy before.I think I feel perfect when I'm with you."

Ayu was very happy to hear Alex's confession. That confession makes him want to make sure of one thing, the thing Alex told Karin. This sounds crazy, but Ayu just wants to know if Alex's attention is just a form of responsibility by the husband, or the man does love Ayu.

"Darling!" call Ayu.

"Ehm?"

"Why are you so kind and considerate of me?"

"Of course it's because you're my wife, the woman who bore my son, my friend?"

It wasn't the answer Ayu wanted, she wanted to know how Alex felt about her. She laughs at her own expectations, after all Alex used to say that she loved someone - her childhood best friend. Suddenly Ayu felt jealous of the woman. After all, he could only have Alex's body and attention, not his heart.

"You must have a lot of girlfriends because of your warmth," said Ayu who is actually just a lure.

"No," Alex denied, "you know, honey. Women and men are impossible to be friends purely without feeling for one."

"Oh yeah? So, you don't have any girlfriends?"

"Tamara only," replied Alex briefly.

... They break up because Tamara doesn't like Stella. Alex's credit card pin which was originally a missed mystery figure already, it was Tamara's birthday, as well as Alex's admission that no woman and man could be friends purely. Unmistakably, the first and only female love in Alex's heart is Tamara.

That fact pierced Ayu's heart. Dai can menwry any woman, but not if the woman is a friend of her own brand. Somehow he could see Tamara again this time?

"What's up, honey?" alex asks seeing the change in Ayu's face.

"Tamara, it's Tamara, isn't it?"

"Have you?"

"The woman you love." Ayu felt very ill asking that, but she did not want to keep it to herself.

Alex fell silent. He did not expect Ayu to guess. This is also wrong because of the lack of knowledge about Tamara as her only friend. Long unable to get an answer and staring at Alex's cold-turned look, Ayu could tell that her guess was correct.

"That was, honey. Don't think about it!" alex hugged Ayu again.

"It's okay, everybody's got a past, right?" ayu said as if he strongly accepted reality, but in his heart he did not accept. He did not know what to face Tamara now. He wants Alex completely, or nothing at all.
