Me and my Husband's Storage

24. Reminiscing

Celine*

When I finished with Dion. I also went back to my room. Strange as it may seem, I feel Dion is different. The look in his eyes, his speech, his attitude were not in line. Ahh .. Never mind, I don't want to think about that. He's a bad guy who always bothers me. I was so claustrophobic that I could breathe because of his dominant attitude. I better see my room now.

I opened my room door. I see, all my stuff is intact. My wardrobe, my study desk, my glass cabinet and my bookshelf. Even my doll closet is still there. My smile expands, this is the first time since my status changed to Young Madam Winter. I didn't expect, in the end I set foot back here.

I looked around, absolutely nothing had changed. Even the location of the bed and sofa does not shift. My room is clean, not dusty and not stuffy. This is a sign that someone always cleans it even if it is not occupied.

'Who else, who cleaned this up besides Aunt June." I muttered.

I stood in front of the bookcase. Before long, the door of the room was knocked open. Someone came in, I just kept looking at the door. Oh, that's Aunt June. The servant of this house, as well as the confidant of Mama first.

"Auntie .. "my broom.

"Miss .. ah, sorry. I mean, Madam .. "the answer is awkward.

I smiled then shook my head, "It's okay, Bi. Just call it as comfortable as Auntie. Meksi I'm married, I'm still Auntie's little miss." I said.

"Oh, Miss .. "he said hugging me tightly.

It's warm. This hug always warms and calms me. This is the one who always comforts me. Always there for me, and the person who understands me the most.

We hugged for quite a while. Until we finally let go of each other's embrace. I smiled at Aunt June whose eyes were glazed over. He looked old, a lot of wrinkles in sight. I was sad, if only I could and could take her to the house where I live.

"Miss, are you okay? what the hell's going on? does the Lord not love you?" hers to me.

I smiled again, "Indeed anyone is happy with a forced marriage, Bi?" my many.

"Why don't you just refuse, Miss. You've suffered enough to live here. You can't suffer anywhere else. I've got nothing and no one to defend you, Miss. Forgive me." said Aunt June blaming herself.

"No, Bi. Don't blame yourself and apologize. Aunt is not wrong. Maybe this is the path I should take. I'm okay, Bi. It's also for Papa's sake, right." I replied.

"No, Miss. Master cannot get your sacrifice. Although he is the husband of my employer, but I cannot accept you being treated like this. No, I can't accept this. The madam will definitely be sad, if she sees you like this." she said again, then cried.

I'm speechless. I can't talk anymore. What Aunt June said wasn't entirely wrong. Since Mama's gone, Papa has always been busy and seemed to avoid me. Even when my teacher asked Papa to be present at the meeting of the master, he actually sent Aunt June as a substitute. And say busy, no time. I was envious in fact, but I never asked what the reason Papa was like to me.

Until one day, Papa says if he wants to remarry. Not only that, he even brought home a woman with a boy whose age was above me. I was happy then, I thought that woman and boy could be my new family. However, everything is wrong. What I expected was in vain.

"Miss .." call Aunt June.

I was shocked, I don't know how long I've been daydreaming and how many times Aunt June called me. My mind is fucked.

"Yes, Bi. Sorry, I'm daydreaming." I replied.

I shook my head, "There's no such thing, Bi. Neither my husband nor my conjoined parents, they never hit me. My father and mother-in-law are very nice people. He was always friendly, also spoke with gentleness. My husband is not that friendly, he is cold and . "my words have stopped.

I immediately remembered. It is impossible for me to say that Hezkiel had another woman besides me. We even live in the same house.

"And .." said Aunt June. "And what, Miss. Why did you suddenly stop talking?" continues asking.

"Ah, that's not a big thing. We don't love each other, but he can give us what no one else can. Don't I have a status now, Bi. No one can humiliate me and step on me anymore now. Even if it's Lidya or Dion." I replied.

"yes too. Because you're not an ordinary person anymore. Yeah, nevermind. At least you don't get physically violent. That was enough to make my heart happy. I hear that love will grow over time. If you are often together for a long time, love can come. You and Master will be like that. I hope there is no third person between your marriages. Or it'll be a disaster" Aunt June said.

As I was shocked, I wanted to speak and answer Aunt June. I hope it feels less right, Bi. Because it's all happened. There was a third person at our wedding, Monna. Who turned out to be Hezkiel's old lover. How am I gonna explain this to you, Bi. Will Aunt be surprised after hearing this truth?

"Thank you, Bi. I hope it doesn't. So far everything's fine. Auntie need not worry." I replied.

I'm getting more sure. It was impossible for me to take Aunt June with me, she would definitely know everything and protest loudly what she saw. Mingkin will also do more things, such as complaining and so on. No, if I can't if I have to lose what I just stepped on. I just got out of the cage, I don't want to go back in the cage and get tortured.

"I have to go to the kitchen. Madame Lidya will definitely be angry if I linger to see you. I'll call you later, Miss." said Aunt June.

"Yes, Bi. Good job," I replied.

Aunt June smiled, then immediately left my room. I took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. My head hurts a little, is it because I think too much of a no-no?

Dinner is going on. Hezkiel really came, even though it was too late. Hezkiel brought flowers and some gifts to give to the Celine family. As a son-in-law, he wanted to make a good impression in the eyes of his wife's family.

"Hm, he's working hard too." Celine's inner.

Hezkiel looked at celine, "Are you okay, honey? is there something you're not happy about?" hezkiel asked, stroking Celine's hair gently.

Celine widens her eyes, "Ah, oh, no. N-nothing. I just remembered something. It's not important," Celine replied smiling.

"Why is he suddenly like this. Just surprised. He didn't have to look for face until he had to act this strange. Huh," Celine's inner displeased.

"Woman why? he was not happy to come to his parents' house. Did something happen without my knowledge?" inner Hezkiel.

On the other hand, right in front of Celine. Sit Dion beside Lidya. Dion noticed everything and felt annoyed. However, he could do nothing but hold himself still.
