Married Life's
1.21. The Last Lunch?
Jessica looked around at the Shena Restaurant. And he found Mike with a lot of dishes in front of him. The man just stared blankly out the window. Jessica cleared her throat making Mike look at her. Jessica felt there was awkwardness between her and Mike, as if she had not met for a very long time.
“Sit and eat.”
Said Mike briefly and ate the dish in front of him. Jessica stared at the dishes one by one at the table. All of them were favorite foods that he often ate with Mike when they ate together. Asian food from different countries. Really, this is a meal for five servings of adults. Could all this food be gone? Jessica looked at Mike who seemed focused on Laksa in his hand, a typical Singaporean food. Jessica just smiled faintly and ate the food.
Jessica held her stomach, it had been thirty minutes that she had just eaten without saying anything. Not expecting, the dish for five people could be spent by both. I want Jessica to go home, meet her soft bed and sleep. His stomach could no longer eat anything. While there is still one mouthful of sushi on the table.
“This is for me.”
The first time Mike made a sound after thirty minutes of eating. Jessica just nodded and looked in amazement at Mike eating the sushi. Really, it turns out Mike is very strong eat. And herself? Hey, he just can't see food wasted, not because he's strong eaters, at least if that sounds better.
Fifteen minutes were missed after Mike ate the sushi. And the two remained silent, staring blankly at the glass window. I don't know which way to look. It was as if the two of them did not want to open a conversation. Mike who was too confused started, and Jessica who did not want to start.
“I'm sorry Jess.” Jessica looked at Mike, the man looking down deeply as if completely guilty.
“I'm too selfish, I should understand you belong to Matt now.”
I don't know why Jessica was sick to hear Mike's statement. But everything Mike said was true. He belongs to Matt now, actually from a few months ago he belongs to Matt. Jessica looked down, it turned out that a few years of relationship with Mike had to end like this. As much as Jessica's energy held back her tears.
“I won't bother you anymore.” Mike lifted his head, smiling faintly at Jessica. Jessica sighed deeply, with her courage Jessica held Mike's hand and looked at the man.
“Hey, we can still be friends with Michael. You are Matt.”'s best friend after all
Mike looked at Jessica's two hands clasping her hands tightly. With a single pull, Mike brought Jessica closer, and his left hand touched Jessica's nape. Mike closed his eyes, as if enjoying their last kiss. While Jessica rounded her eyes, not expecting Mike to do this. With one loud push from Jessica, their kiss came loose.
“Are you crazy Mike? It's a public place!”
Jessica took a deep breath, trying to hold back her emotions. He wants to solve everything well, he does not want his emotions to destroy everything. Mike smiled sadly looking into Jessica's deeply upset eyes.
“It's done, right? I'm goin. And this is for my food.” Jessica put the money on the desk and passed it away. Mike looked at Jessica. The man lowered his head deeply and clenched his hands tightly. After that, Mike's smile expands.
______________________________
Jessica stared all over the room in the house, but she still could not find Matt, who could find only two empty plates and one large plate of Matt's favorite Lasagna. Did the guy leave? But the car he often wears is in the trunk. Jessica reached into her cellphone which was in the pocket of jeans she wore. And he found a message from Matt.
'I have a sudden office business, you just spend the Lasagnanya.’
Jessica put her phone on the dinner table. Tumben once a large portion of this Lasagna means nothing more to Matt. He thinks the Boltom Company is in trouble. Jessica stared at the large plate of Italian food, to be honest she was already very full. But really, he didn't want to disappoint Matt. The man had already cooked for her, yet he had left her just like that. Jessica cut the little Lasagna with her hand. Jessica smiled as one mouthful of Lasagna perched in her mouth. Matt's cuisine is second to none, and he unwittingly spends a plate of Lasagna himself.

Jessica put her body to sleep on the living room's large sofa, while the television was still on. He was actually very sleepy, but I don't know why he wanted to welcome Matt. But the man did not go home and there was no news. Honestly, he was so worried.
---
“You really didn't go home Matt?”
Jessica murmured. Now he opened his eyes and he was still in the living room, it was marked if Matt didn't come home. Because if Boltom's man comes home, he will definitely be moved to their room. The sound of water pouring out of the bathroom made Jessica flinch. Who's taking a shower? Didn't Matt come home? Then who?
Jessica's heart was racing. With a slow step he began to approach the bathroom door. Jessica stared at the wall clock, now it's still six in the morning, there can't be any thieves right? Hey, why would a thief go in the bathroom and take a bath there? Jessica, sometimes you don't use your brain! Stupidhead!
Jessica was almost thrown back when the bathroom door opened. He breathed a great deal of relief when he saw Matt with a towel just around his waist staring at him with a flat look. Jessica looked at Matt's face, this man looked very tired, and sad. Did something happen?
“You okay Matt? You can story-”
“Jess, I'm tired. I want to rest.”
Matt said briefly and passed away going up the stairs. Jessica just stared at Matt who was getting away. What's with that guy? Why did the man become so cold? Jessica knew very well that Matt wasn't this kind of man. He just wanted the man to tell him about the problems in his company. He wanted Matt to share his complaints with him. He is also his wife, right?
---
Jessica smiled happily as she watched Matt come down. It was now nine in the morning, and he had seen Matt so fast asleep, and he did not want to disturb Matt, especially the man was tired of working late last night.
“I made you Lasagna, you didn't eat it yesterday.”
Matt just smiled faintly and looked at the Lasagna Jessica made. Honestly, Jessica felt that this wasn't as good as Lasagna Matt was yesterday, but since she made this sincerely, she thought Matt would love it.
“You're very good My Wifey, but I had an important meeting this morning. I can't try your Lasagna now.”
Jessica smiled faintly, she could hear the regret behind Matt's voice. Matt walked up to her and kissed her on the forehead, as if giving her an apology. While Jessica just smiled, she was quite disappointed. He made this Lasagna with all his might, for him it was so difficult. Hey, but of course work is more important than tasting your wife's cooking.
“What's wrong Matt, I can make it back another time.”
“Alright, I go.” Jessica took a deep breath. I don't know what, but he thinks there's something wrong with Matt.
