Husband From Hell (Home From Hell)

What happened to Nicholas?

"Nat, I'd like to have a serious word with you."

Natalie was silent when the ice cream had partially entered her mouth.

Today is exactly two months his relationship with Nicholas is running. And today Nicholas invites Natalie to eat ice cream at his place of subscription.

"What are you talking about, Nic? just say!" Natalie again enjoyed the ice cream in her hand, without looking at the face of Nicholas who was very serious in front of her.

"Next month I want us engaged."

Uhuck-huck

Natalie almost spouted ice cream on Nicholas' face if only Nicholas did not put his face to the right side.

"sorry. I'm sorry, Nic. I didn't mean it." Natalie looked panicked, but the happiness in her heart was no less terrible when she heard the question coming out with a bang from Nicholas' mouth. Perfect man, CEO of Jhonson Company.

Nicholas took a tissue from his box and wiped a small splash of ice cream on his sleeve.

"You serious, Nic?" Natalie looked at Nicholas' face in disbelief. Two months of his relationship to date still does not believe Natalie. Now another surprise from God? Nicholas will propose to her and soon Natalie will be the wife of the owner of this prestigious company.

"Have I ever messed with my words?"

Natalie shook her head. As long as he knew Nicholas, the man was indeed very firm and never messed with his words.

"Thank God you believe. Then tell your parents! I'll be there next month." Nicholas said, then grabbed his cell phone. "I go first, there are clients who invite sudden meetings. You can go home with Reynald."

Seeing Nicholas leave the restaurant, Natalie snatched his bag and followed behind him, even though she was not satisfied to spend the expensive ice cream on her desk.

"If Reynald takes me home, then what about you?" ask Natalie who keeps trying to walk behind her lover.

Nicholas stopped his footsteps when he saw his lover was a little overwhelmed to balance his footsteps.

"I can take a taxi, Nat. You go home!" Nicholas ruffled Natalie's long hair.

Natalie smiled at Nicholas leaving behind her back. I don't know what could describe his feelings right now. He was so happy and lucky to have a perfect man like Nicholas. The handsome, rich, excellent and considerate as it is today. Even a CEO like him would take a taxi and let his personal driver drive Natalie, only for the sake of the woman could get home safely.

Natalie smiled obliquely. Natalie misses that warmth. The affection he had always gotten from Nicholas now went nowhere, disappeared even barely remaining. The marriage that was supposed to make their relationship closer even makes them feel far away at this time. Natalie felt that only Nicholas' body was with her, and her soul was not.

Natalie hopes this is just a wind then that will soon be calm and peaceful as before.

"Nat .. are u okay?" Eliza breaks Natalie's daydream.

"Hmppp, JESUS .." Natalie was surprised to see that her files were full of scribbles. "Geez, what have I done?" he's holding his head. The monthly report that was supposed to be handed over today to Kevin is so out of shape.

"Liz, how is this? I could die with Kevin. He must have been raging if he knew the report in the doodles."

Eliza looked at the horror of her best friend's face. He could not provide any solution because he also did not dare to face Kevin if he was emotional.

"Sorry, Nat. I can't do that for that." Eliza said then walked back to her seat, while Natalie drowned her face on her desk. "Address,**** base****." it reads.

Soon a handsome man parked his sport bike in the parking area of Jhonson Company employees.

This morning Kevin brought his red sports bike back to the office. Afraid that Natalie would be let down by her husband again, at least Kevin was there for the woman despite just taking ice cream again and accompanying her to the bookstore.

"Again, Mr. Kevin." said a receptionist who is estimated to be about 25 years old at this time.

Kevin only replied with a smile that did not last long. Receptionist was not surprised and disappointed with Kevin's cold attitude. Because he got a little smile back, he was very happy. Kevin rarely smiles, let alone laugh.

"It's a really nice receptionist." Cibir Eliza who just returned from the HRD room on the ground floor. He walked right behind Kevin, unbeknownst to Kevin.

"Eh, Liz. Where are you abis from?"

Eliza who was still cursing the receptionist was startled when Kevin suddenly stopped in front of her.

"Eh, I - I - I'm from the HRD room." Eliza seemed obviously very nervous. "Yes I'm from the HRD room, there was a file Mr. Nicholas had to deliver to them."

Kevin narrowed his eyes when he heard Eliza mention Nicholas by name. For some reason now Kevin became sensitive every time he heard the name of the man.

"Where's Natalie?"

Again Kevin began to worry about the girl who already had the husband. Eliza was actually upset that Kevin was always paying attention to his best friend. It's not really jealousy, because Eliza knows that Natalie doesn't love Kevin. After all, Natalie is married, where Eliza might be jealous of her. But still, he was sad because Kevin never paid the same attention to him, as Kevin paid attention to Natalie.

"There, in the room." Eliza replied lazily, then she left Kevin to make Kevin a little confused by the behavior of the boy.

"I want you to meet me tonight! DOT."

Kim Jennifer's voice was heard behind Nicholas's phone.

"Yes, yeah. I will try to do it later! but I can't make an appointment, because the doctor said that some days my mother's condition is not good." Nicholas nibbled his dizzy temple. "Yes, yeah. I'll try it out!"

After hanging up his phone with Secretary Kim Jennifer, Nicholas stood up and stared at the tip of his hair until the tip of his foot in front of the mirror.

"You must avenge all your deeds" he said in his heart.

---***---***---

"Nat, what are you doing?"

Natalie immediately wavered as the person she was currently afraid of suddenly came before her face.

"I-i." Natalie stammered. "I'm a revisian, yes. Revisian report." Natalie looks really nervous.

"Revisian report?" Kevin felt something was strange. After he reports this month is done and just stay in the volume. So why would Natalie still want to revise it.

"Vin, I'm going to the back. I'm making coffee."

Kevin prevents Natalie's hand from leaving, leaving Natalie shuddering in horror. Afraid that Kevin would really suspect her. But it wasn't that, Kevin just gave her a box of food.

"Now, for you." Kevin thrusts out a cute Minnie mouse shaped food box.

"What's this?" Natalie was so curious about the contents of the food box.

"Open it! it's from Keisha for you."

"Keisha?" Natalie was so shocked to hear Keisha giving it to her. "Keisha gave this to me?" again, because I don't believe it.

"Yes," Kevin answered briefly and opened the laptop on his desk.

Natalie still can't believe that the little girl who always keeps quiet and doesn't talk much made her breakfast this morning. Keisha made him a sausage fried rice with a beef eye egg on it. It's a miracle.

"Thank you, Nat." Said Kevin without looking at the interlocutor, "thanks to you, now Keisha is better."

Natalie walked over to Kevin. Reflex he's holding Kevin's hand. "I will always be there for you. Don't hesitate if you need help." He said with a very warm smile. And that's what always makes Kevin can't forget Natalie even though she is now the wife of someone else. "I've looked at you like my own family." continued Natalie, releasing her hand from Kevin.

"Ah, yes. Thanks." Kevin replied with a feeling that went back crazy. Feel the chest pounding on a woman who has officially become the property of people. This is crazy, he said.

"When will you take Keisha to the doctor again? maybe I can come along. I miss him so much."

Kevin seemed to be thinking, "maybe in two weeks. You see, the doctor said that if things got better, we didn't have to come there very often."

"Oh, if that's what I'll tell you!"

"Hmpp," Reply Kevin briefly.

In a different place, a man wearing sunglasses lowered his car glass right in front of a traditional market. The tires of his car deflated when crossing the market, and was forced to be dismantled on the spot because quite far if you have to go to the official workshop. Fortunately, his personal driver, Reynald was always available for replacement tires. So it didn't take long to fix it.

Nicholas saw the hustle and bustle of people who were busy wandering in the hot sun. Some of them were peddling their merchandise while clamoring to offer various kinds of merchandise. Some of them may be household assistants or mothers who are shopping for kitchen needs.

While looking at the market view. Nicholas accidentally caught the sight of a mother holding a boy with one hand again carrying a basket of groceries. A little trouble seems to be because the child continues to whine asking the mother to let go of her hand.

"Let's buy it when I'm paying, son." Said the middle-aged woman to her son who was estimated to be 8 years old.

The little boy whined. It seemed like there was something she wanted and her mother couldn't afford it.

"But when, Mom? every time you go to the market you always say that."

The mother seemed to stop her steps. It seems that the telling of his son is not entirely wrong.

He lowered his groceries, then crouched down and held his son's cheeks together. "Don't cry anymore, baby. I promised I'd buy it for you."

The child nodded with tears that broke when he saw that his mother's eyes were wet and almost shed tears.

"Mother, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad." Said the boy sincerely and hugged his mother's body. "I promise I won't whine anymore to buy that toy. But you also have to promise me, you won't cry."

Not dry lips of the boy, his mother actually cried. But it was not a cry of sadness. It was a cry of happiness for having such a precocious child.

"Yes, baby yes. I promise I won't cry." The mother let go of her embrace and wiped her tears, so that the child would not see her. "But I'm still gonna promise you, if next week our neighbor's gonna pay the cleaning salary, I'm gonna buy you that toy."

The child looked very happy and enthusiastic to hear his mother's words.

"Master, sir." Reynald waved his hand in front of Nicholas, because Reynald had seen Nicholas smiling for himself.

"Sir, can we go back on our way?" Reynald asked his master.

"Ah, yes." Answer Nicholas.

Reynald nodded and walked back into his seat.

"Reynald, wait!"

Reynald was stopped when his body had only partially entered.

"What's up, sir?"

Reynald went back to see Nicholas, and he saw Nicholas reach into his pants pocket and then take about 20 pieces of money from his wallet with the highest nominal.

"Give this to the mother and the child."

Reynald followed Nicholas in the direction of a middle-aged mother who seemed to be waiting for public transport.

"Good sir." Without a second thought, Reynald immediately received the money from Nicholas and gave it to the person in question.

Nicholas returned the smiles of the mothers and children who seemed to thank him a lot from a distance.

Nicholas could not help but look in his heart at the scene that reopened the memory of his dark past.

"Sir, are you okay?" Reynald panicked when he saw Nicholas shedding tears.

"Ah, I'm fine. We continue our journey." Nicholas said as he closed the windshield.

"Good, Sir."

Reynald immediately returned to his car, though he was still wondering what really happened to his master. This is not the first time he has found Nicholas shedding tears. Lately even Nicholas often looks moody. But not in front of a crowd, let alone in the office. Because Nicholas only looks moody when he's in the car with him, as he is today. Reynald could even see clearly behind his rear-view mirror, Nicholas was trying to hold back his tears.

"What really happened to Nicholas?"
