KP 22 - Ayline's Subdued Heart

After the conversation with her husband at the restaurant, Ayline was more silent. The fact that his father had embezzled considerable funds in the company was quite surprising to Ayline. Even because of her father's actions, she was now forced to obey her husband's crazy request.

I don't know where else there's a husband like Oswald. Husband who asks his wife to be in touch, to be pregnant with another man. Ayline never thought, where all the love and affection that Oswald had shown him. In order to secure his position and pride, Oswald was so willing to sacrifice his own wife.

All the way back to his magnificent home, Ayline and Oswald did not say a word. Even to look at each other's faces.

Ayline continued to stare out the window. Her tears continued to fall without her being able to prevent it. He wiped the tears repeatedly to stop wetting his cheeks.

“Stop crying, Ayline,” tell Oswald without looking at his wife. “Do you want everyone to think badly of me?! They can think I've done a bad thing to you.”

Ayline clucked. “You did do just that, Mas.”

“To have me in an illicit relationship with another man, do you think that's a good deed?!”

Ayline always tried to be nice to her husband. Although Oswald was often deliberately indifferent to him, even sometimes the man behaved and said harshly to him, Ayline still tried to be patient. However, why after this was so difficult for Ayline to do that. For her now, her husband was the most evil man she had ever known.

As a result, all the way back home there was no more conversation between the two. Just the sound of Ayline's sobs faintly heard the silence of that afternoon.

...…...

Day after day passed very quickly. As usual to avoid each other, Oswald busied himself by working in the factory while Ayline spent more time in the library.

The change in attitude was noticed by Mr. Albert and the other servants. No exception Doctor Siska. This made Doctor Siska more intensely approached his patient.

As it happened this morning, for the first time Doctor Siska came up with a different appearance. The formal shirt or blazer he used to wear was nowhere to be seen. Today Doctor Siska appears confident in a sage green mini dress. Don't forget her more prominent makeup, different from her usual days.

“Morning, Mrs Ayline,” said when Ayline first met her.

Ayline's forehead frowned. “You came for a therapy session with my husband right?” ask Ayline.

“Ya, Mistress. I came as per Mr. Oswald's therapy schedule,” replied Doctor Siska.

“Are you going to be comfortable doing therapy with such appearance?” Ayline deliberately looked at Doctor Siska starting from the tip of the hair to the tip of the foot.

To be honest, Doctor Siska was really offended by Ayline's attitude just now. However, he realized that in that luxurious house he did not have any power. More precisely has not had, because his determination has been unanimous to replace Ayline as hostess.

“Take it easy, Mistress. I am an expert doctor who has a lot of experience. I will do my job very well,” replied Doctor Siska while holding back her frustration.

Doctor Siska was getting upset again because Ayline just put his shoulder and then just passed. Leaving him without a word. Just now he wanted to grumble, curse Ayline but his intention was undo because Oswald suddenly appeared in the company of Denis.

Doctor Siska cheered in the heart because it seemed like today he would be free to do a therapy session with Oswald. It was not in vain that he prepared himself for hours. He is optimistic Oswald will be captivated by his performance today.

...…...

A week has passed since that day. The day Oswald asked his wife to do something crazy to keep her good name. There was concern in Oswald's mind, because to this day Ayline seems to have done nothing. There was no progress Ayline made to carry out his orders.

Not only that, Oswald was also actually worried about the condition of his wife. Although he did it secretly, but he could clearly observe the changes in Ayline's body that looked thinner than before. His wife's face was also always somber, lethargic, and looked uninspired.

So that morning, after breakfast Oswald asked Mr. Albert to meet him in his study.

“There can I help you with, Mister?” ask Albert politely.

“How's my wife lately?” a very interesting question came from Oswald.

It is quite difficult to understand what his master's question is. But if it concerns his mistress, Mr. Albert seems to be able to guess.

Ayline's attitude, which turned into a quiet figure, did cause a lot of preconceived notions by the servants. “They spend more time in the library, Sir,” replied Mr. Albert.

“What does he do?”

Oswald. “That's for sure, sir. I mean that, is there anything suspicious my wife does other than read a book there?” oswald asked with a hint of resentment in his heart.

Albert seemed to think for a moment. “Actually nothing suspicious, sir. But there is even worrying,” replied Mr. Albert honestly.

“Worrying?!” Oswald's forehead shriveled to try to understand the purpose of his butler's head.

“Worrying because the Madam has not spent her lunch and dinner this week. It's grateful that Madam ate it even a little. Sometimes, the Madam does not even touch her food at all,”, said Mr. Albert honestly.

“What?!” squeak Oswald. “It's this important you just told me?!”

“Sorry, Sir. I'm sorry if I've been presumptuous, but I think there's a problem between Madam and Mister. I want to tell Mr.”, said Mr. Albert defending himself.

Oswald kicked down the desk in front of him. Pain in his palm he ignored, Oswald more worried about his fate. Yes, the fate .. if something bad happens to Ayline then the plan will not work.

“You've been very presumptuous, sir. You shouldn't be thinking about my household affairs!” reproofing.

“Now your task, make sure Ayline finish his meal. I don't want to know how, but I don't want this to happen again!” Oswald.

After Albert returned to work, Oswald decided to meet Ayline. When he could not find his wife in the room, Oswald went to the library. He was sure Ayline was there.

Sure enough, he could see the dreamy Ayline gazing into the garden behind the house through the window. The book in his hand, seemed to be just an ornament.

“What do you do?” ask Oswald gently.

Ayline. She did not answer and looked at her husband.

“Is there progress?”

Ayline grinned. “This week it seems like you never cared about me. Then now suddenly you come and ask about your crazy idea?!”

Oswald clenched both hands. Ayline seemed to have dared to challenge him. “Now you dare challenge me?!” snapped it.

From outside Denis who had passed in front of the library room stopped his steps when he heard the voice of his Master. He decided to wait at the door. Denis doesn't want to make Ayline uncomfortable with his presence.

“Can I challenge you? Do I have that choice?” ask Ayline.

“Ayline!!! Don't act up and just follow my orders!”

“I want, when I ask again you already have an answer that matches my expectations,” Oswald said before he came out and left Ayline there.

...…...

Oswald and Denis are on their way to the factory. “Tuan .. hem ...” Denis seemed hesitant to start talks with his master.

“What's up? Is there a problem?”

“Not a big deal, Sir. It's just that in my opinion, you better give some time first to Madam. I'm sure it's not easy for him to do your orders,” Denis said.

“Tak easy? What is difficult? He just needs to find a man and get in touch with him,” Oswald replied lightly without a burden.

“Come, Sir. I think it's hard because Madam loves you. How can he be with a man he does not love,” Denis said still defending Ayline.

Oswald. “Ck! If it's that hard, why don't you help her?!”

“Hah? Me?!”
