Home For My Soul

189|Urusan My Husband

“What did Mama discuss with lo yesterday?” ask Theo.

We had breakfast together. He was very wise to wait until I finished a serving of fried rice before asking. I knew he had been waiting since last night, but refrained from doing so. She definitely didn't want me to have trouble sleeping when I talked about it right then and there.

“Daisy must have a story.” I glanced at my bodyguard who was always near me.

“Gue wants to hear directly from your mouth,” he urged.

“Tante asked me to leave you and he gave me two weeks. If I don't do it, then he alone will separate us,” I replied casually.

“Two weeks. Perfect fit. Maybe they want to surprise me on my birthday.” He went back to eating.

Also true. The two weeks coincided with Theo's birthday. Hm. The few times she had her birthday, the biggest thing I knew was that they announced her engagement to Chika. The show with Venny was done after Matt's graduation and it was August.

Is it possible that they would choose another equal woman to be paired with Theo? How could? People must have known I was his legal wife. Even though the news isn't horrendous, I can't believe you media didn't kiss her. They were silent for one thing, Om Azarya paid them to shut up.

The touch to my hand broke my daydream. “Do not think. They won't be able to separate us. I promise.” Theo looked at me seriously.

I smiled, raised her hand, and then kissed her. “I also promise. They won't be able to separate us.” He stroked my cheek, then took me to finish our breakfast.

I drove him to the terrace as usual. He rewarded me with a short kiss that made me heavy to take it away. Even a foolish woman will not let go of a handsome, rich, intelligent man, plus a great kisser like him. Aunt Ruth doesn't know what it's like, anyway.

A guilty feeling crept into my chest watching him leave on his motorcycle, but I immediately brushed him off. I'm not lying. I did go to see Brother to discuss work so I needed a car. Not wanting to deal with Rahma so that I would not be flabbergasted, I immediately left that place.

My next goal Theo doesn't know about. I'm sure he knows it by now from Daisy's expression talking to someone on her phone. I couldn't hold back the curiosity for too long. I want to know what Mr. Norman wants.

“Thank you for coming to see me,” greet the man, but I ignored his helping hand. “Ah, please sit down. I've ordered food, please order your part.”

“No, Sir. Thank ye. You just talk,” reject me, then the waiter standing by my side. My life is in danger, so the sooner we part, the better.

He's laughing a little. “This must have something to do with your husband. I'm also surprised you finally want to meet me after a few times I persuaded, you refused.”

“Pak.” I looked at him seriously to stop making small talk.

“Stop whatever you are doing,” he said. He folded his hands on the table and returned my serious gaze. “Life as usual. You stay away from social media, keep doing it. I know you purposely shared the affection to heat up my wife.”

I digested his words for a moment, then laughed. “What did you not say wrong? What you should be advising is your wife, not me. Only Theo has the right to say what I can and cannot do.”

“Communication cannot be done in only one direction. I'm talking to my wife, but I also need to talk to you. I know he did you bad when you were in school. Didn't he apologize? Why are you still ruining his life?”

I laughed in surprise. “What? He said he apologized to me? When, Sir?” I smiled to see him startled. “Chika is a manipulative person. His face may look sincere when talking, but you need to double-check every confession.

“What do you think, I will disturb the life of someone who has no problem with me? He invited you to work with him to separate me from Theo. Did you forget about that? Sir, Chika will do anything to get her wish, including by lying. So, just take care of your wife. What I do, let it be my husband's business.”

She wants to marry Chika. His parents also gave him their blessing. Though the scandal with Theo is not kidding. Dozens of people claimed to be his victims while at school or campus. Only a handful of people in the workplace dare to admit to ever being bullied. I'm sure the others didn't dare, for fear of being fired.

Could it be that they chose to get married and hold a reception in Medan to avoid being chased by journalists? The news about their marriage was not splashy, just a while ago. The viral thing is precisely me and my family on social media. But journalists are less interested or it could be Om Azarya who again pays them not to report it.

I remember what Aunt Ruth said. All the news about me could be good if they wanted to. What is displayed in the public can be bought, so who has the money that has the news. Theo being married to an equal can also bring a bad reputation if fake news is spread. Does he think I don't know money can buy the truth?

On that night, Theo came home late as usual, but I was ready to deal with his anger. He looked at me with a cold gaze that for a second then changed as his eyes descended on my body. He could clearly see every indentation behind the thin, transparent cloth I was wearing.

“Basic cheated,” umpatnya before approaching me.

Even though he was angry, he treated me gently. Our style of lovemaking changed completely since I was pregnant. Our son was really lucky to get a father who cared and cared for him very much, even before he was born.

I slept well that night and laughed when I found myself wrapped in a blanket in the morning. Oh, dearGod. Until when did he use this method to punish me and lock me up at home? I don't know why, I wasn't even a little upset.

“How dare you meet another man behind me.” He came out of the clothes room in a neat shirt. His appearance made me want him again.

“We just talk,” reply.

He brought me a glass of water. I drink it with a straw. “Again. All mouth rinses lo,” orders. Although I don't understand, I do.

“Pak Norman said—” said after drinking, trying to explain.

But I couldn't finish my sentence because she covered my mouth with her lips. Ah, so this means telling me to drink and gargle. I replied with pleasure. Unfortunately, I couldn't hug him. Berciuman in a bound state is very unpleasant.

He put his face away, then looked at me with a frown. “Why aren't you angry?”

I'm laughing a little. “Why should I be angry? I like dicium.”

“Lo in bonded state.” He saw the blanket covering me. “Normally you scream for release.” He looks so sweet when confused.

“If my husband thinks my actions deserve to be punished, then I will live them without complaining.” I put on a face.

“Meet other men make you insane.” He just left, exited the room without saying anything. I'm laughing a little.

After he went to the office, I asked the waiter to call Brother Jericho. He came in an hour later and helped untie me. Effortlessly. So, I don't want to waste my energy and time furiously on my husband.

“That woman did not follow Sister into this house?” sindirku. We went down the stairs to the dining room. I'm so hungry.

“Propa. In a moment you also know my plan,” Brother said casually. He's grabbing my shoulder. “How's my nephew doing? Did he do anything these few days?”

“No. He's very kind. Exactly like his mother.” I rubbed my stomach.

“Oh, God. If he is like you, I am finished,” lamented. I laughed amusedly.

Everyone seems to have a plan and a surprise for each other. The most disturbing thing was the plan that was already prepared by Aunt Ruth. I wonder what he'll do to me or Theo in the next two weeks.

I know that this calm and peaceful atmosphere is just an illusion. They're silent doesn't mean they agree with my marriage and Theo. They did not obstruct the issuance of our marriage certificate nor did they approve of our relationship. Because they already have a plan.

That day I was busy organizing my sister's schedule when my personal phone vibrated. I glanced at the screen and saw a new message from my beloved husband. I opened it and read it. It turns out there was a dinner invitation with Edrick and Nisa.

It's also great that Theo can get close to Edrick this fast. If dinner's for work, it's normal. But with a partner, then he already considers my husband as his friend. We are one step closer to the goal of our mission.

Theo had his driver pick me up first. So, when he finished work, I could pick him up and we went straight to the restaurant location. That way, we do not have to struggle long with heavy traffic after office hours.

The man was waiting with Nisa. I was quite surprised he didn't choose one room, but joined the other guests in the dining room. He greeted us kindly, making me uneasy. Are we going to be able to open her fiance scandal and break her heart?
