Home For My Soul

176|Do Not Think

The first thing I thought about was my baby. Because my feet cannot be a place of support, I tighten my grip on the staircase. My heart was pounding fast, worried that something bad would happen to my womb.

Then I remembered Daisy's instructions on how to fall safely, without hurting myself. But I'm in a condition that would be just as dangerous for this baby. Oh, dearGod. I'm sorry for this lame. I shouldn't have taken my eyes off my steps.

I would have felt pain in my buttocks, waist and back, but I did not fall. I opened my eyes as soon as I realized I was in someone's arms. The smell of the collony made my heart beat faster. Justright. When we met eyes, I saw fire in his eyes. I swallowed heavily.

“Lo don't want to be tied up in the room, but going down the stairs properly just can't?” he said with a stifled voice, holding back anger. “All your gadgets will I confiscate if this happens again.”

“Ma-sorry,” I said slowly. I'm guilty, so I don't go against that.

He stood up first, then stretched out his hand to help me get up. “What's up? I just answered the important phone for a moment. What is it until you can't wait?”

“You've been gone almost an hour, you said just a minute?” my reply.

He shook his head slowly, then took me to the living room. The waiter came with a tray full of snacks for us. Seeing that, I refused and invited him to sit on the side porch. Theo let out a loud sigh, but he complied with my request.

I was twitching spoiled on his arm as we walked to the terrace. He was angry because of me, so I shouldn't be defiant for some time to come. As soon as we sat down, I racked my brain what I should photograph. Looking at the cup and the teapot was good, then I got a good idea.

I held her right hand and made sure the ring was visible, then my left hand where her grandmother's legacy ring was. I looked for the corner with the best lighting, then snapped it a few times. I made sure the teapot and cup were also photographed.

“Lo what are you doing?” tanyanya was impatient.

“Later also you know.” I let go of his hand, then checked every photo.

I uploaded the best photo, then gave a short message, tea time with my hubby. Beres. I put my phone on the table, took my share cup and drank it with pleasure. Ahhhhh. Revenge can be sweet too, huh?

“Fast receive,” Theo said as my phone vibrated.

I looked at him confused, but I obeyed him. Turns out he sent a request to be a friend. I had to accept it so we wouldn't fight. He looked at the screen of his phone, then did nothing. I saw a new notification on my social media.

He changed his profile picture with our wedding photo in Las Vegas, and tagged my account. I smiled seeing him. He put his phone on the table and continued drinking his tea without saying anything more. Since he started, I did the same thing, replacing my profile picture with another one with ours.

If our hand photos get a lot of responses, then my profile photo can have more reactions from my post. Theo's right. I'm still famous on social media, so be careful that no one takes advantage of the situation to bring Theo down through me.

“If you can know, why is Venny approaching you again?” We haven't had a chance to talk about what happened on Friday, so it's the right time.

“Just go directly to the person,” he replied. I sneered. “Do not think. I will not cheat. Too much work that caught my attention, plus keshamilan lo.”

“How can I not think? She's so pretty. Body is also good.”

“If I am interested in a beautiful woman, where maybe I fall in love with you. If he's someone I like, why would I fight with my parents? Take good care of your emotions and safety. Don't think about things that will never happen.”

“Iya, yes.” I sneered.

It's only natural that I'm worried. His father is working with Papa Venny. They will often meet because of the closeness of their parents. It was not unusual for them to forgive the family and accept their daughter back. He's still a better choice than me.

As a child, I knew what status and reputation were. Therefore, I kept my family from knowing I was bullying school friends. If they knew, I would have had that second too. Even though Mother loved me, she was more on the side of her big family's good name.

That is also what Om Azarya and Aunt Ruth did. My friends are proud of me for marrying Theo, but people close to Husada's family don't really care. To them, I am not a legal wife until there is a confession from Om Azarya's mouth.

Theo's breakup with Venny is also still a secret. So, in the eyes of others, they were the real couple, not me and Theo. Even though I am here with him, I am only considered a mistress. Venny was considered noble because he was still willing to accept Theo who had betrayed him. The world is unfair to the poor.

Theo stood in front of me, breaking my daydream. He invited me to come into the house, because the sun had set. I obey by receiving his hand. When I stood up, he stroked my cheek and lowered his head to cut my lips.

“Gue already said, don't think about.” He fucked me again. “Not going to any other woman, Kat.”

My eyes are heating up to hear it. “When I forget everything, I never forget how I feel. Do you not believe it after I remember everything, my heart is only for you? There was only one girl that interested me. That girl is my wife. Trust me, Kat. Women as beautiful and attractive as anything will not make me turn away.”

I nodded slowly. I could only wrap my hands around her waist without saying anything. Not wrong anymore. He could read minds. How did he know I was still thinking about the matter? I felt his kiss at the top of my head.

“One more. Don't forget you're on. My life was reduced one day because of you. See your steps well so as not to fall or stumble. I really tie lo until the first trimester passes if this continues.”

Why should he always spoil the atmosphere with threats? I was just moved by her sweet sentence, she didn't wait an hour to irritate me anymore. But I don't have to be angry for too long, because he's got me again.

Three consecutive days working from home, I met Brother Jericho on Thursday to talk about some job offers and invitations. He was in a hotel restaurant to meet with one of his clients.

He casually chose and turned down some work. I recorded everything, complete with the reason for his refusal. Mostly because his schedule collides with other jobs or he is already a model of similar products with other brands.

“I'll attend an event tomorrow night. Come then. Take Theo if he's free. Bring this so you're allowed in.” My brother offered an invitation. “Please note the dress code. Don't get the wrong costume. There will be many clients coming, I will introduce you to them. So, they won't hesitate anymore to talk to you about work.”

Theo chose to work in his office rather than attend a party attended by many people, but he allowed me to attend. Unfortunately, I had severe morning sickness that made him change his mind. We also fought. I just need to cry to win it.

Although she half-heartedly accompanied me, she ordered a makeup artist to help me get ready. I can choose black clothes from my collection. She's been raking with my makeup, so I don't want to buy new clothes.

The event was held in a large hall. To my surprise, there were a lot of famous people coming. I felt unworthy to be among them. Theo behaved as if he met them often.

“Theo, I borrow your wife for a moment,” said Brother Jericho who came near us. Theo just nodded, then let Big Brother take me. “Smiling and talking to taste, because I will introduce you to my friends quickly.”

I followed his advice. After interacting with some of them, I understood why we were talking soberly. They think as I thought. They think I'm Theo's mistress, not his wife. Every time they asked, Brother took me away.

“If Big Brother knows their reaction is so, why ask me to come too?” many wonder.

“I just found out when they saw you guys coming in. I didn't know they thought you were Theo's only affair. Superfluity. If not for me keeping a good name, I would have scolded all of them,” he said in a stifled voice.

“Leave it. Dog barking caravan passed.”

“Back to Theo. We're done.” He looked at where my husband was.

“I'll take a drink for a while.” I pointed towards the serving table not far from the crowd surrounding my husband. The brother nodded, then returned his friend's greeting.

Seeing that there was an empty seat in the front row, I intended to invite Theo to sit down. Tired of standing up earlier. I was close to the table when someone pulled my hair from behind. Not stopping there, I was pulled until I entered a door that was closed by a curtain.
