At night, when Natalie just got home from the cafe. It was Erick who drove him home tonight. To be honest, he did not want to continue to trouble the man. But circumstances forced him. The taxi he was waiting for did not come. He finally accepted Erick's offer again.
"Thank you, Rick!" Natalie waved her hand as Erick started driving forward.
After Erick left, Natalie immediately rushed into the house. He saw the car Nicholas used to drive. "Has he gone home?"
Not wanting to linger with his curiosity, he immediately rushed into the house.
"Niicho." For some reason, Natalie was so happy when she saw the man back at her house. But wait, he's not alone. He came with the woman again. Obviously, that left Natalie a little disappointed. Why would Nicholas take that woman on these nights to his house?
"Hay! we meet again," said Jennifer who was impressed. The woman who had originally sat and accompanied Nicholas in the chair woke up. He approached Natalie with his gait that made Natalie ticklish.
Choosing not to answer Jennifer's greeting, Natalie again looked at the man who was sitting while enjoying coffee in the living room.
"Looks like he's okay."
Honestly, it was during Nicholas' departure that Natalie kept thinking about him. Thinking about how the fate of the man was while away from him. He was worried and afraid that Nicholas would not eat regularly. No breakfast with routine. Ah, anyway Natalie was really worried about him.
"Why? you miss her?" Jennifer whispered something in Natalie's ear. While Nicholas who saw the incident instead chose to leave. The newspaper he originally held in his hand was placed carelessly on the table. He went to his room.
"Why did you come here?" Natalie rolled her eyes at Jennifer. He stared firmly at the woman who bullied his household.
"UPS, I'm sorry, but I didn't want it. Your own husband asked me to come."
"Huh? so Nicholas asked Jennifer to come here at night. What's he bringing this woman for?"
"Oiya, I'm going to sleep with Nicholas tonight. So, I hope you'll share with me for tonight." Natalie's question was finally answered. The woman apparently intends to spend the night at Nicholas' house.
"What did you say? can't do. You can sleep in the guest room" said Natalie. Who her? how dare he ask to sleep with Nicholas.
"Hey .. hey! wait up! don't get that kind of emotion. I'm just saying that Nicholas will sleep with me tonight. I didn't say I'd sleep in your room."
Natalie was trying to digest Jennifer's words. Shortly afterwards Nicholas came in the casual clothes he used to sleep in.
"Wait on! don't tell me Nicholas will accompany Jennifer to sleep in the guest room?" natalie's inner self stared in disbelief at the man who had entered the guest room.
Seeing Natalie understood, Jennifer waved her hand with a mocking look at Natalie.
"Bye!"
Trouble Natalie tried to hold tightness in her chest. "Does he want to avenge his heartache on me? Ah, it's Natalie! let him do as he pleases. Remember that! only the status in your marriage book has the title of wife. But not with reality. He never loved you. So don't expect more and don't be disappointed when he treats you like this."

This afternoon Kelly and her husband were walking through the park around the city area. Kelly loved the park. She often invites her husband just to take a walk while enjoying the fresh air and occasionally also enjoy the food served on the side of the road.
"Dear, I want that." Kelly pointed to a special snack that he routinely bought every time he came to the place.
Without further ado, Jhonson immediately asked the merchant to make a portion for his beloved wife. "Thank you" said Jhonson, reaching for some notes from his pants pocket.
"Ah, this is too much, sir."
"It's okay! just take the rest for you."
The merchant blinked his eyes many times. Really this? He just got a bonus from the sale of a portion of a mini burger with a fairly large nominal. The bonus could even buy 50 of his mini burgers.
"Thank you, Mister! thank you, Madam." The man bowed his head, honoring a very generous person once at a small merchant like him.
Jhonson and Kelly walked around the park. Accidentally while walking, Kelly bumped into a small child.
Brugh
The burger Kelly ate fell.
"sorry. I didn't mean it!" The little boy looked nervous and scared because he had made the food of the person he hit fall.
"Darling, it's okay." Jhonson tried to calm down.
"But right?"
"You should be careful when you run! you know, you can hurt someone else like this. Fortunately, only my food fell. Try something really valuable?" scold Kelly at the child, while the child just bows his head while saying an apology many times.
"Ah, forgive my son! he must have been unintentional."
The familiar male voice in Kelly's ear suddenly made Kelly's vision instantly crumble. The 30-year-old's memory was revealed.
"Kelly, please,"
"Thomas."
Both great-grandchildren at the same time. For a second they looked at each other. The originally lowered neva also raised his face to see the two old men in front of him who stared at each other noisily.
"Dad, do you know this aunt?"
Both reverie awakened when Neva threw him away.
"Ah, yes. This is Dad's old friend, baby."
"Oh, old friend, thank goodness! Then Auntie will forgive me, won't she?" Neva looked at Kelly's face expectantly. But the one who was spoken did not budge. Kelly continued to focus on Thomas's face.
"Why did my chest come back beating so hard when I saw her face?" kelly murmured in his heart
"He looks so happy with his current life as it seems," Thomas tweeted.
"Aante!" Neva called him back.
"Ah, yes," Kelly said.
"Aunty's sorry about me, right? My dad's aunty, so Auntie don't be so fierce with me."
"Yes. Auntie's not mad at you. Aunty just told me to be more careful."
The happy Neva finally smiled. "Well, Neva wants to buy that cake first. I talked to you first with Dad!"
"Yes, baby! careful yeah! I'll wait in the parking lot in 10 minutes!"
"Yes, Dad!" Neva left both of them. Now there's just Kelly and Thomas. Stare at each other with feelings that are already mutually uncertain. There was a feeling of excitement as well as a bitter incident that re-crossed the minds of the two.
"How are you?" thomas asked, and there was silence between them.
"Well, you're on your own?"
"yeah. As you can see" said Thomas.
"Oiya, was that your son?" Kelly glanced at Neva's body ordering food at a waiter.
"Hmpp, he's my youngest son."
"Oh." I don't know what other questions Kelly should ask. To be honest there are so many questions, thousands and even millions that Kelly wants to talk to Thomas. But it doesn't seem like the right time. Her husband, Jhonson, is coming soon, and she doesn't want Jhonson to know Thomas or Natalie's father is her age. Masalunya the dark.
"Ah, then excuse me. I have to see my husband" Kelly said, turning his body upside down.
"Kelly, wait!"
Kelly's steps stopped.
"Are you still mad at me?"
Teg
Kelly's pulse and her heart stopped at the same time. The deep wounds that he had been enduring had finally come back to stick out. Recalling past events with the man left him unable to breathe.
Not wanting to linger with his pain, Kelly chose to answer immediately. Kelly turned her body around, "Ah, that's. I've even forgotten. So, don't think about it," Kelly said, lowering her head slightly to immediately go to see her husband, who has now turned her back after finishing buying his favorite mini burger, while Thomas still did not budge from where he stood. Staring with the clingy woman who had once been the most important part of his life.
"Until this second, I can never forget you, Kelly." Thomas Watson
