Married Life's
1.22. All is Over
Taps..Taps..Tap
Jessica exhaled a rough breath. He stared at the wall clock in the living room. It doesn't feel like it's been at one night. Jessica pulled out a large suitcase and placed it next to the living room sofa. He had prepared all the clothes and necessities for their honeymoon. Tomorrow is the time for their honeymoon. Or maybe, all Matt's been treating lately because he wanted to surprise her? Imagining it, makes him tickle amused.
Ting!Ting!Ting!
Jessica looked at the big white door. Who at this hour pressed the bell so impatiently? Could Matt? But for what Matt pressed the bell to enter his own house. Feelings of concern over Jessica, no one should dare to do evil things in an elite housing area like this. Come on, at least criminals have to think twice if they want to rob here. Obviously in this area so many surveillance cameras are spreading.
Jessica's eyes rounded wide as she looked at the person in front of the door. No, it's more like two people at the door. A woman in such scanty clothes was picking up a drunken-looking Matt. I don't know why, but Jessica felt her chest hurt so much. Did Matt play girls? Is Matt really this kind of guy? Judging from her appearance, it seemed like this woman was a woman of the night.
“Where is your room, sir? I'll drop it off at.”
The haughty voice of the woman before him made Jessica clench her hands tightly. She did not like how this woman embraced her husband's affection, she was very upset.
“Let me deliver it.”
“You who? The house assistant? You know, I'm her lover.”
Jessica jerks. A terrible stab at his heart. Is this really Matt's affair? Or is this woman making it up? Hey, if Matt's cheating on you, at least Matt's gonna find a decent woman. Not like this woman in front of him.
“I'm his wife.”
“Oh, Mrs Boltom? I thought Mr. Boltom was divorced, he said it like that.”
The woman's haughty voice turned friendly. Jessica just smiled cynically, whereas what the woman said hurt her even more. A divorce? Since when did Matt get divorced? He thinks his relationship with Matt has been okay. What's with this guy? Is the company's problem capable of making Matt turn out like this? Jessica pulled Matt's hand and became the man's backrest. He could see the woman's face before him was not feeling well. But Jessica didn't care, once Matt realized, he would ask for all the explanations to this man.
Without waiting any longer, Jessica closed the big door. With great difficulty, he grabbed Matt's heavy body. Hey, he's only about the shoulder of Matt, and he's so engrossed with just tapping Matt's body like this. Jessica looked at the stairs. He thought, he would not be able to climb the stairs by memapah Matt like this. With a staggered path, Jessica headed for the door that was beside the stairs. That's the guest room.
“What's wrong with you Matt?”
Jessica put Matt's body gently on the bed. He went out of the room to get a clean towel. Jessica painstakingly opened Matt's shirt one by one and wiped away the sweat that had flooded Matt's body. He thought Matt was really drunk, the smell of alcohol was really pungent. Jessica looked at Matt sadly, has there been so much Matt has hidden from her all along? Is it true Matt is a guy who plays women like this? Just thinking about it made his heart so sick.
“Jess, don't go.”
Jessica flinched when suddenly her arm was pulled by Matt. The girl fell on Matt's body. Jessica looked at Matt's handsome face with a very close distance. Jessica smiled sadly, why did when she decided to let go of Mike, she even found out that Matt was this kind of man? Jessica shook her head loudly, she should not have come to such a conclusion just now.
“Why are you cheating behind me Jessica?”
Jessica rolled her eyes. Suddenly his heart was beating. Does Matt know everything? Did Mike tell you everything? That sly guy! No, no. This could have been because Matt was drunk. But should not the words of a drunken man be honesty.
“What are you talking about Matt?”
“If you really want to cheat, can't you find another and not my own best friend? It hurts so much Jess.”
“Sorry Matt, I'm really sorry.”
_____________________________
Matt's moaning voice made Jessica become fully aware. He couldn't sleep last night because of what Matt said when he was drunk. He was really very scared, he thought explaining as soon as possible was the right choice. Matt looks at Jessica who is just sitting next to him, the girl is seen staring blankly somewhere.
“You were drunk last night Matt.”
Matt only glanced at Jessica at a glance and passed away leaving the guest room. For some reason, every time his eyes looked at Jessica, his anger always popped up. The pain of being betrayed is always there. And to be honest, whatever he tried to cover it up, he still couldn't. It was enough yesterday that he pretended to be stupid, and that was more than enough for him.
“Matt, why are you?”
Jessica held onto Matt's arm which was about to climb the stairs. Jessica begged herself, if what Matt said last night was just bullshit. It's just because Matt was drunk, to be honest he's releasing Mike now.
“I thought I explained it last night, until when do I have to be such an idiot?"
Matt looked at Jessica coldly. Jessica's defense collapsed, why did everything have to happen? Why does this carcass smell have to be smelled when he wants to throw the carcass away?
“I'm sorry.”
Jessica looked down deeply, a feeling of fear had enveloped her. Matt's jaw hardened, he clenched his hands tightly, his emotions rising.
“What are you sorry for?”
“Indeed it shouldn't be me-”
“Kutanya, what are you apologizing for?!”
Matt's screams jolted Jessica. Jessica looked at Matt who was looking at her sharply. Jessica's eyes lit up, really for the first time Matt was like this, screaming in front of him. Matt looked the other way and smiled cynically, trying his best not to be touched by Jessica's tears. She couldn't bear it, she couldn't make Jessica cry.
“I did have an affair with Mike, but you-”
“I didn't think, you finally dared to say that.”
Jessica was unable to continue her sentence, she was really very scared right now. While his tears have flowed. He just realized his stupidity now, then what now? He can't do anything. Even just to explain everything.
“Matt, please this is not like-”
“I'll prepare divorce papers.”
Matt's last words before he chooses to leave Boltom's family home. Jessica was silent, she fell on the floor, as if her knees were completely unable to withstand her body weight anymore. The tears grew, he cried bitterly. His eyes turned to the large suitcase beside the sofa. Supposedly today was their departure for the honeymoon, should they be having fun today, should he be ready to leave everything to Matt today. If the word should be eliminated.
