HALF MY SOUL

HALF MY SOUL
WRONG MOVE?



A week later,


"Dad, Mom!" call William while waving one of his hands.


Michael and Elena approach William, and the driver helps to put the suitcase in the trunk, while William opens the door for his parents.


Without saying much, Michael and Elena entered the car. They sat in the back seat, while William sat next to the driver. There was no talk of any kind during the trip, William felt there was a slight awkwardness between them, since his marriage to Viera.


When they got home,


"Master," said Alke, babysitter Vivian. He immediately stood up to welcome the arrival of his master, even though he was sitting on the sofa while giving milk to Vivian.


Michael and Elena also entered, Alke could feel the atmosphere that arrived so a little gripping. Elena looked at the entire room, like looking for someone.


"Where's your wife?" elena asked a little.


"Where is Al?" ask William.


"Sorry sir, the Madam is out."


"out? Has it been a while?"


"About 30 minutes ago," Alke replied, making William slightly exhale roughly.


"Is that what your beloved wife's job is? wander every day. Shouldn't she take care of her infant son, and also wait for her husband's return home" Elena chuckled.


William himself could neither dispute nor defend Viera's actions. Indeed since they got married, Viera often went out even almost every day. He did not continue his studies, while William had to graduate and work immediately.


Elena approached Vivian. Alke slowly moved the now sleeping Vivian into Elena's hands. William could see how Elena was so happy to see Vivian, a faint smile rose on her face.

"The table table was placed here only, after that we just moved some cabinets to the kitchen," said Hanna who gave some directions.


Today he moved the furniture in his diner to a shophouse that was right next to his grocery store. Hanna also asked a handyman to make a way through the back area of her shop to the back area of the shophouse, to make it easier to go back and forth, without being seen from the front.


"Sister Jota, help me," asked Kinan as he was about to move a table.


They work together, until the sun rises, Hanna calls them all to eat together. Hanna orders food online because there's no way she's asking Fahri for help with cooking.


"Because, how about we sign up like this too."


"You mean?" ask Hanna to Kinan.


"In addition to selling here, we sell online as well."


"Your idea was good. Come on Han, let's register" Fahri said. There is no distance between them. Hanna never built a wall between superiors and subordinates. He always thought they were all his friends, even like brothers, because he had no one else, except Ben.


Suddenly he remembered Ben. It had been a long time since he had given me news.


Is Brother Ben going to be mad at me for breaking my promise?


Until the afternoon, they continued to lift and tidy up goods, so that when the next week arrived, they could sell again.

By 7pm, the Smiths were ready at the dinner table to eat together. However, there was no sight at all of Viera's existence.


"Is your wife not home yet?" ask Elena.


"B-not yet Mom," William replied, making Elena cluck in annoyance.


They had dinner without Viera. There was no discussion between them, making the atmosphere feel so cold and quiet. As they were enjoying, the sound of a car entered Smith's residence.


There were footsteps due to heels colliding with the floor. While carrying some groceries, Viera entered the house. He calls the waiter to bring his groceries to the room, unaware that Michael, Elena and William are in the dining room.


Viera walked up the stairs. When he reached the fourth foothold, the tip of his eye caught something in the dining room.


Deghhc ...


They had already come, and looked at their extremely annoying gazes. Ckk .. I've given you your grandchildren and your children are crazy about me.


Without greeting, Viera continued her steps towards her bedroom.


"Do you see? What is the behavior of a wife and daughter-in-law to be proud of?" ketus Elena's.


"Mom, Viera must have wanted to clean up before she met you" said William.


"Don't keep defending him. You have lived almost 1 year with him, you also actually already know how his true nature. Mom hopes you don't regret having chosen her," Elena felt her appetite had gone. He put down his spoon and fork, then left the table.


"I'm sorry Viera, Dad," William asked.


"You should have apologized to your Mommy. You know, while in Japan your mom kept crying. He always felt guilty for setting you up with Kimberly. Your mom loved Kimberly very much, like her own daughter, which is why she was so happy when she found out that Grandpa and Grandma had you set up with Kimberly."


Kim, I haven't heard that name in a long time. What are you doing right now? I haven't seen you since that day.William.


"Mommy can't change your decision, let alone a little angel growing up. It is impossible to separate a child from his father. Slowly Mommy accepts, but it seems to see your situation now like this and your wife like that, it feels like Mommy .. Dontah, Daddy only expects the best for you," Michael finally went along, go to her bedroom, follow Elena.


Oh my God, what am I supposed to do? I just want this family to be happy together.


William was finally not eager to continue his dinner. He went up the stairs, approached Viera, because he had come home, his wife did not go down at all even though she knew that her parents were there.


Ceklekk ....


William came in and saw that Viera, who had been cleaning herself, was sitting on the sofa looking at her nails.


"Why don't you come down?" ask William.


"For what?"


"You're supposed to say hello to Daddy and Mommy."


"They don't like me, why should I make them like me. Besides wouldn't it be better like this, I'm I'm them."


"They're my parents, you should respect them too."


"I'm not a hypocrite woman. If they don't like me, then I won't like them either. Every thing has a reciprocal."


"Then ... Where have you been all day?" ask William.


"I? of course have fun. I'm bored at home."


"Bored? We have Vivian. She's gonna need you as her Mommy."


"My job was done after giving birth to her. Milk? just buy it. The foster care? we've paid the babysitter. The affection? He still has you. I'm tired, don't bother me with anything unimportant like this" Viera stepped onto the bed, then covered herself.


William could only be silent to see it. He could not believe all the words coming out of the mouth of the woman he loved so much.


Have I missteps? - William.
