42. I don't like it anymore

Marinka was still lying curled up on her bed. Fatigue for a few days made him reluctant to get up early. Even the morning sun had forced his way into his room. His eyes blinked and then closed again. Although his eyes closed but his sense of hearing was still awake. There was the sound of water gurgling from the bathroom. A masculine scent was pouring out in the room.

Drtts.. Drrr....

Marvin's phone nearby shook. Want to be ignored but sound more and more often. Lazily Marinka grabs Marvin's phone. His face turned bad. It turned out that Arina had called dozens of times from yesterday afternoon. Likewise with a row of dozens of short messages sent piling up there. And none of them are read.

Marinka let out a long sigh, she grumbled inwardly. Why the morning should start sucks. Just as he was about to return the phone to the nightstand, Marvin came out of the bathroom and found Marinka holding her phone.

"Did anyone call? ". Tanya Marvin warm. Marinka simply replied with a nod.

" I'm sorry I opened your phone. Because it doesn't stop sounding ". Marinka said no good. Because for him to open his cell phone someone else is very disrespectful. Given it's privacy and sensitive even though it's her own husband.

" What are you talking about? No need to apologize, I don't mind at all ". Marvin said with a sweet smile then landed a kiss on the top of Marinka's head. His hand then grabbed the phone. Instantly Marvin clucked annoyed to see the name listed there.

" Why not lift it. You can do it if you want ". Marvin.

" But it's your phone, I don't want to look brash Marvin ". Marinka said while leaning on the headboard.

" It's not like that, I'll let you. You know, even out there a lot of wives always check her husband's cell phone secretly. You don't have to do that. I allow you completely "Marvin said with a smile to make Marinka also chuckle. Marvin really missed that smile these days.

" You want to take a walk? Morning air is good for you ". Marvin said warmly while holding Marinka's hand. The woman thought for a moment and then nodded.

" Alright, I'll clean up first". said Marinka in a nod. While waiting for his wife Marvin began to check his phone and then delete the list of Marinka messages on his phone without reading it. He intends to start from the beginning.

Marinka walks in the garden near where she lives. The air in the morning is still fresh. A lot of people enjoy it. They bring with them their children or perhaps their pets.

Marvin had not released a second of his hand. He really wanted to fix everything from the beginning.

"You want to eat something? ". Bargain Marvin. Marinka. He doesn't want to eat anything. He just wanted to enjoy the morning.

" No, later on ". Marinka. They finally sat in the garden. Marvin's eyes immediately caught the ice cream vendor.

" wait here for a minute, I'll buy you something. Don't go anywhere ". Marvin's Letters. Marinka just nodded. Marvin was back soon. Then bring ice cream and gingerbread. Marinka who was surprised to take it for granted without opening the contents of Marvin's groceries.

" Eat, don't you like it very much ". Marvin said warmly attentively. Marinka then saw the contents. Instantly his throat was choked. His eyes began to heat up. A few days ago, something happened in his eyes.

How he so wanted that ice cream and gingerbread. Unfortunately, she lost her baby due to Marvin's misunderstanding. Seeing the look on Marinka's face that turned Marvin into an annoyance.

"What's up... ? You don't want to eat it? ". Marvin was confused.

" I don't want it anymore ". Flat Marinka.

" You usually like it a lot ". Marvin insisted, making Marinka look at him in disbelief.

" I want it because there's a baby in my stomach. And now the baby is gone. Do you understand what I mean? ".say, Marinka lost her temper. How Marvin's mind works. It could have reminded him of the incident.

" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, come. I'll keep it ". Said Marvin kissing the side of Marinka's head. Suddenly Marvin's face turned grim.

" I want to make you comfortable, but stupidly I make you sad. You have a reason to hate me now. I'm sorry Marinka ". Marvin said vibrating. Marinka cupped her face with both hands. His shoulders were shaking because he was crying.

" I really want to hit you, I hate you Marvin" Marinka said.

" You can hit as you please. I deserve that ". Marvin said as he hugged Marinka tightly. Marvin's eyes glazed over. Unable to see Marinka's grief.

" I want to go home ". Marinka said.

"Papa.. Are you inside, I brought you gingerbread ". Marinka said excitedly.

Marvin sat his body in one of the chairs in the dining room. Marinka was still excited to knock on the door. Sounded right from the inside after a few minutes had passed.

"Just put it there later I'll eat it ". Mr. Louis from the room. Marinka lowered her head bitterly then with gontai walk after Marvin dining room. Then sit in one of the chairs. Marvin clasped Marinka's hand.

" I'll try to talk to Papa. Don't be sad ". Marvin.

" Marvin, I want to go home to the apartment ". Marinka said while looking down at her hands squeezing each other.

" why.. We haven't been here three days, you said you'd stay a little while". Marvin said in wonder.

" It's okay, I just want to be there. What can? ". Marinka was unable to contain her tears.

" What are you talking about? Of course I can. It's yours too, where you live ". Said Marvin who felt sorry for his wife. Even going home is very difficult. And again why ask permission to stay in his apartment. That was also his.

" Thank you, I'll get ready ". Said Marinka, but it seemed like it was just her lips. In his heart he still wanted to stay. But Mr. Louis' different attitude meant he had to leave immediately.

" Why are you? Is it because papa you didn't linger here for long ? ". Ask Marvin softly.

" I don't know.. I thought by coming home I'd calm down a little bit. But I was actually wrong. My non-open attitude hurt Papa. I don't want the longer I'm here, the more it weighs on his mind". Her voice choked. Isn't it actually he who should be pitied but in fact he who should be more succumb to keep the feelings of others.

Marinka looks down the stairs just by carrying a medium-sized travel bag, just like the one she brought yesterday. Aunt elly frowned in wonder.

"Where are you going, baby? ". Ask aunt elly.

" I'm going home auntie ". Marinka.

" You just stayed overnight, you don't usually do this. Then you're gonna sleep on dimna? ".

Marinka smiled bitterly. Even he himself was confused. At home, he feels foreign. So what if Uncle Mike's house or Marvin's apartment? What they will accept openly after the disappointment Marinka gave. He is the one who loses, but he is the one who is judged.

"He will stay with me in the apartment ". Marvin said after understanding what Marinka was thinking. Mr. Louis, who had been reading the newspaper, finally looked at his daughter. Poor little princess.

After saying goodbye Marinka waited for Marvin in the car. While Marvin was still talking to Mr. Louis.

"Papa, please don't be like this. Don't shut up Marinka. He's very depressed. It was enough that I disappointed him. But papa don't ". Marvin pleaded with me.

" You caused all this. You're negligent on your promise. To the extent that Marinka did the stupidity of hiding her pregnancy, and she ended up losing my granddaughter. It's all because of a woman named Arina, right? ".

" I'm sorry, I'll try to start over, I'll fix everything. I beg you to believe".

"Either.. I think my trust was lost the day my granddaughter died. If you're hard at this, leave my daughter.. I can still take care of it ".

Marvin stunned.

"What else is this?".
