HALF MY SOUL

HALF MY SOUL
LESS EXCITED



Kimberly's departure is in sight, as she is now standing at the airport, holding her ticket and passport. He will travel to the United States to continue his studies.


"Darling ... Mami will miss you so much" said Megan as she hugged Kimberly.


"Kim will also miss Mami, Mami's cooking, Mami's embrace, everything ...," Kimberly smiled despite the pain in her heart as well.


"Enterprise learning, baby. Papi is sure you can, you will succeed. Papi and Mami will always pray for you" Alan rubbed his daughter's head.


"Sir ..."


"Don't you want to change your decision, Kim?" ask King.


"No, Brother."


"Are you doing all this just to escape, Kim?" ask King again.


"I'm sorry, brother. It's not an easy thing for me. Maybe by being far apart and not seeing it, this feeling will slowly disappear."


It's not that easy, Kim. Even your brother is still stuck in the past, and when can he come back.


"Alright if it's your decision, brother will appreciate it. But remember Kim, we're here to love you. We'll always protect you from anyone who'll hurt you" King ruffled Kimberly's hair.


"Snake!!"


Flight calls are echoing. Kimberly said goodbye to Lady and Kristy yesterday. However, he still spread his gaze around, hoping ...


"You looking for someone, Kim?" ask King.


"Ooo no, Brother. I just ....," the flight call re-echoed, Kimberly finally went inside to do all the processing to get on the plane.


*****


The journey takes about 20 hours, making Kimberly's body feel sore. A moment after exiting the plane, he moved his body slightly, relaxing his muscles.


"Ohhhh!!!" kimberly shouted because suddenly her body was pushed forward.


"Sorry, sorry ..."


Kimberly looked up, "Do you have no eyes, no path."


"I've already apologized. I'm in a hurry." The man immediately left Kimberly who was grumbling.


With her suitcase dragged, Kimberly headed towards the exit. He doesn't know anyone here and it's the first time he's been away from his family.


"Kim," the voice he had wanted to hear, now felt so close to his ear.


"Sister Lee!" Kimberly jumped straight at Anthony, "Cock big brother is here?"


"Of course to wait for you. I thought I'd better pick you up, than let go."


Blushhp ....


No matter where the thought came from, Kimberly cheeks blushed. He had not seen Anthony in a few days. His best friend always talked about and re-discussed the closeness between Kimberly and Anthony, making Kimberly sometimes become misbehaved.


God, why did my heart arrive could not be compromised. What the hell is going on?


"When did you come here?" kimberly asked breaking the silence.


"I've been in New York for a week, and this morning I flew here to pick you up. I know, you don't know this town very well. If later you stray and disappear, can your brother it will be like a madman," teased Anthony.


Kimberly recalls the relationship between Anthony and her brother, which was not very clear to her.


"Come, let's go to your apartment" Alan and Megan have prepared an apartment they rented for 2 years for Kimberly's tenpat while she continued her studies. The location was deliberately chosen which was not far from the campus, in order to make it easier for Kimberly to go back and forth.

9 Months later, Viera has given birth to a baby girl named Vivian Smith. William was happy when he first held his daughter for the first time.


After a 1-month recovery period, Viera returns to her former life. He travels a lot, gathers with his friends.


"Can't you accompany Vivi at home?" ask William.


"There's a babysitter. Why do we pay them but not used," said Viera a little upset.


William who is now carrying Vivian can only be silent, while watching his wife who is putting on makeup, because it will go to her usual place to gather.


"Daddy and Mommy are coming home next week. They want to meet Vivi and you, too" William explained.


Well, why the hell do they have to go home. They will be speaking again. I have to do this, I have to.


"Yes, I understand."


"I'm going to the office now. This is you carry Vivi first," said William.


"Put it on the bed, or give it to the babysitter. Don't you see I'm getting dressed, just bothering me" William sighed softly.


"Yes, honey. I'm asking for money, yes, today I'm arisan."


Money again?


"How much?"


"20 million," Viera replied with a break.


"20 million? didn't I just give you 25 million yesterday?"


"That's for my needs, this one's for Arisan. Time is just a calculation. What people say later if the Smith family's wife can not arisan, even though only 20 million," said Viera upset.


"Not so, honey. But now that my company's just running, there's still a lot to do and it's gonna take money."


"Ahhh, small company only. Were your parents stingy enough to not give you a job at Smith's company? until his only son has to work hard in a small company."


"Honey, enough!"


"Are you yelling at me?"


"I don't mean that, but understand me a little bit. Right now we have to put a little pressure on our spending. If the company gets big, I'll give you whatever your request is."


"Waiting for a big company? till when? You've been there for almost half a year, but there's still no progress."


"Here it is, it is still morning and I do not want to quarrel with you" said William, then took his cell phone and wallet, and set foot out of their bedroom. William calls a babysitter to look after his daughter.


"Armghhh!!! damnitnn!! damnitnn!!! Being the son-in-law of the Smith family doesn't make me free, it keeps me constrained. I also have to take care of you, annoying!!" viera said as she looked at her daughter Vivian.


In the car, William was silent for a moment. He massaged his temple, why his head felt so full. Since marriage, like so many exams he had to pass.


Tinnn ....


The sound of a horn disperse his daydream, he realized that the street light had turned green. He finally drove his car to the company. A small company located on the outskirts of the city, engaged in construction.


William himself still needs to learn a lot about construction science, because he did not take the major while in college. After driving for about 1 hour, he arrived at a 5-story building, Smith Construction. He parked his vehicle, and walked inside.


Lately he has been feeling less excited. When he came home, no one welcomed him. Even he went home earlier than Viera who almost wandered every day. While their daughter is guarded by a babysitter. At first William asks Viera herself to take care of Vivian, but Viera resolutely refuses because she does not want to be a mother who only looks after the baby and waits for her husband to come home. He is the son-in-law of the Smith family, so he must always be in a socialite environment so that his existence is known to many people.
