Look at Me, Open Your Heart

The Part 24

"Fi don't you want to go to my house?"

Fia turned her head, she squinted her gaze as if to say, why take me to your house, didn't your parents never like me.

"I mean to the house in the Magnolia cluster" Vir tries to calm Fia down by inviting her to see the house she says she bought for them later, but the reality is not so.

Fia who was still moody was immediately excited when Vir wanted to take her to the house.

"Well let's go now." said Fia excitedly "Let my car be taken by a boutique man"

He hugs Vir's arm and leaves the restaurant.

.

.

Arriving there, Fia was so happy to see the interior of the house she had chosen with her lover, Yes even though Vir bought it but would not she also become the mistress of this house someday, someday, this house is also not a house?

Lucky in the house was not at all displayed wedding photos Aileen and Virendra, there are only a few figures on display that was just a picture of a beautiful scenery.

Vir had dared to invite Via here because he thought Aileen would not come home early, considering that the woman was always overtime just like her. So it was not his fault that he invited Fia so that her lover would stop being sad. But it seems the assumption is wrong, Fia is still reluctant to leave the house, she still feels at home there.

The day was getting late with the twilight light that began to dim change the night.

Virendra is devastated, he is afraid that Aileen will be home soon and the two women will meet

"We're home now!" get Vir to try to persuade Fia to come home soon.

"But...

Fia had not been able to continue her words, They both turned their heads when they heard the sound of the door opening.

Vir panic. His heart was beating so fast, as if time would stop right then and there.

Will it all be broken down so soon? No, this must not happen he thought.

Vir stared in relief as Aileen walked in still wearing a mask. The woman walked towards the top floor without caring about the woman sitting and stared unblinkingly at her.

What about Vir?? Do not ask again, the man did not budge between relief and anxiety. He was still thinking about what would happen next.

While Fia was still fixated, she did not understand, how could a woman just enter this house? the house that should be the home of his lover who was bought for them to live in after marriage later.

Has Vir sold it to anyone else?? That is impossible, even if it is sold, of course Virendra will not bring him here.

"He who is Vir? why just walk in and you don't forbid it..?" fia asked breaking the silence after she finished staring at the back of the woman who had already disappeared upstairs there.

"Ehhh.."

Virendra was nervous, I don't know what else he was going to say. He had to break his brain, find the right reason to take Fia away from this house.

"In-he's my cousin, he's my cousin who's studying in this town! Mother told him to stay here" she said trying to convince

Fia nodded in understanding, trying to believe the lover's explanation.

"Why not stay with you?"

Fia who was still feeling awkward again threw a question.

"He wanted to be independent by living alone, so I advised him to stay here instead of having to rent an apartment" It seems like the reason has gone far, but he hopes that Fia is satisfied and can be sure of the answer.

Fia nodded in understanding while still staring at the second floor.

"That means you don't live here, right?"

"Yes, of course not, mom and dad are out of the country so I live in the mansion" Somehow this time Vir felt nervous, not as usual when playing with Aileen always runs smoothly and is very fond of the role, but this even seems so nervous, he cursed himself who still thinks of Aileen while being with Fia.

Meanwhile in the room.

Aileen sat pensively staring at herself from the reflection of the mirror. He wore a nightgown with lace embroidery motif engraved on the shoulder makes it more beautiful and elegant even at night and want to wade through dreamland.

Her hair that was straight and straightened to the front of her chest looked so feminine. Yes, this doctor always looks beautiful at every opportunity. Never even seen the lack side.

After seeing Vir and the woman were both in the living room for some reason his heart felt sore, as if there was iron rubbing against each other inside. He didn't know what was going on with him, but that feeling couldn't be ignored.

Does she really feel the instinctiveness of a wife who feels scratched when she sees her husband with another woman. Can he be angry? Should she protest like Moza did when her husband brought her home..

But that sounds so brutal, Aileen wasn't like that. After all, she knew Vir had bought this house to live in with Fia, so she felt she had no right to be angry.

Heck, tok-tok...

There was a knock on the door of the room, making Aileen flinch from her daydream. He stepped open the door, revealing Virendra who was standing there.

"You've done well, thanks for that"

Aileen was stunned, only this time a Virendra apologized, looking so sincere..

I don't know which wife helped her husband do the charade to cover up their marriage. "Didn't you say you yourself would tell him, so I tried to get away from him"

Vir speechless..

The feeling of hate is still there, he wants to be angry but why it feels difficult to scold the woman in front of him, the woman who recently always took care of him well, he said, doing all his commands even though he was always thin and rude, even the woman never denied it even though sometimes answered every word she said. Should he appreciate that?

The two of them were silent and still standing, throwing their eyes away in the other direction.

"What do you want to eat? I'll prepare.." haggard Aileen

"No, I've eaten"

"Oh" Aileen nodded in understanding.

"Then I rest first."

Now Vir is the one who understands.

Aileen went straight into her room.

I don't know why it feels different today.

.

.

.

"Hello mom, how are you? I miss you all so much!!" said Aileen who was on a video call with Daddy and his mommy.

"We're all good Eil, what about you and Vir?" ask Mommy

"Don't you miss your daddy this Eil?" said a middle-aged man who tried to grab a cell phone from mommy's hand.

Aileen smiled at the behavior of her parents, at the age of her marriage is old but they remain friendly like this, Aileen was silent for a moment, He thought about whether it could be life like daddy and mommy, Aileen, but it feels impossible.

"Eil why daydream?"

"Hey Aileen Zavierra Utama don't you miss this daddy of yours?" ask her parents at the same time.

Aileen flinched, she smiled towards the mobile phone screen

"We're good moms, and of course I really miss my most handsome daddy" Aileen smiled bitterly hiding the reality of her complicated marriage in front of the family.

"Thank God, oh yeah do you often visit opa boy's house?"

"Sure mom, I always visit every time I come home from the hospital"

The parents and daughter continued to chat until Aileen did not realize that someone was watching her interactions with Daddy and Mommy.

The one that Vir caught, Aileen completely shut down their problem. Even the woman never vilified herself in front of the in-laws when inversely proportional to the fact that she was often rude to the woman.

"Why don't you tell them the truth?" he said when their conversation ended.

Vir's voice made Aileen surprised, she turned around while holding her chest again. This is the umpteenth time Vir has surprised him.

"Basic weak!!" cibir Vir who is now sitting sweetly preparing for breakfast.

"It's not weak, it's a reflex because you startled me" took off the apron and sat on the chair

"It may not be a day, don't argue with me!" Vir slices his sandwich a little hard at Aileen's annoyance, who can always answer her words.

"Just answer my question!!" Vir chews on his sandwich while continuing to grumble

Aileen doesn't care, she's immune to Vir's nagging every day. He even looks fun and relaxed enjoying his breakfast.

Uhukk, uhukk....

Vir coughed, It looks like he faltered from eating while nagging..

"Here drink.." Aileen immediately gave water to drink, while holding back laughter. He wanted to laugh out loud, but was afraid that a strange creature would spray him.

"That's why we're forbidden to talk while eating, yes because it's like this! look at you almost dead.." Aileen still held back her laughter.

"Did you curse me to die?? Do you want to be a widow at a young age??" Vir spoke so seriously without turning his head towards Aileen who was silent at his words

"At the same time it's all because of you, if you don't like answering my questions, maybe I won't be like this" Vir hit his chest with a choking scar earlier "Ahh this is all because of you, maybe I'm not going to be like this, I know you're happy if I really die, so you can be free of this household" Vir keeps raving..

It seemed like her plan that wanted to make Aileen suffer turned to her instead, she was the one who suffered. How do you make Aileen suffer? Even Vir deliberately gave a heavy homework but Aileen instead did it with pleasure, even the woman seemed to enjoy her duties even though she remained busy with her profession

"Huh alright, I'm sorry for continuing to answer your words! I knew I was wrong" Aileen put down her fork and knife "Then let me answer, what did you ask?" aileen asked trying to smile sincerely

But instead of repeating the question, Vir went

"Oh, there's no such thing as repetition"

Aileen stared at Vir's upright back which began to disappear behind the wall.

"Haissh she is indeed strange" Aileen shook her head and grabbed her bag.
