Mopping Wounds

Damian's Attention

Daniela looks not Daniela as usual. Slowly Daniela finished her meal. Damian escorts Daniela towards the room. Arriving in Damian's room, she took Daniela to sit on the sofa with him.

"We need to talk, get everything out of your mind. Have you made a decision?" ask Damian worriedly. He tried to believe Robin's opinion, Daniela would not leave him. Daniela looked at her husband. He shook his head in response. Damian saw the wound in those eyes. His heart is sad. There were many questions in Daniela's head, but she hesitated to ask. Damian was still waiting for Daniela to speak.

"Have you divorced her?" daniela asked one question.

"It has. I did it this morning. Then I went to Robin's. He sends you his regards." Damian explained. Damian's words tell Daniela, she spends her time at Robin's. Not with that woman. There was a little relief in Daniela's heart.

"Damian I haven't been able to decide anything. I'm making sure my heart can continue with you. I want to be happy too. Give me some time" Daniela said at last.

"Sure, I'll give you some time. I'll be happy for you too, even if I don't know how. Like I said, I'll make amends because I don't want to lose you. But Daniela please tell me what's on your mind, don't ask me to second-guess." It doesn't matter to Damian his wife hasn't decided yet. What's important is Daniela didn't ask for a divorce. Damian rubbed Daniela's hair gently. She's selfish not to let Daniela go. But Damian stayed on his feet, owning Daniela his whole life. Damian felt he still had time to convince his wife to stay by his side.

"We should sleep fast. You just came back this afternoon right, must be tired" Damian said of concern. Daniela confirmed, not her tired body but her heart. Maybe he should sleep. Daniela had gotten into bed but could not fall asleep when Damian had just finished his bath.

"Why not sleep?" asked Damian who followed her up to the bed. He knows Daniela hasn't slept. Slowly pull Daniela in his arms. Things Damian never did. During one year of marriage, Damian never slept while hugging Daniela. Although not sleeping on each other's backs, even often faced. But Daniela was comfortable. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. Damian had not closed his eyes before Daniela went to sleep. After she confirmed Daniela had gone sound, she went to sleep. The next morning Daniela woke up still in her husband's arms. Damian her husband, hers thinks Daniela. There's a sense of Damian's unwillingness in other women's possession. But she was disappointed, so easily Damian hugged another woman. Daniela raised her head, wanting to stare at Damian's face. Her husband looked at her gently.

"Morning" Damian said with a gentle smile. He had been awake from the beginning. But he reluctantly leaves Daniela, worried that his wife is uncomfortable waking up alone.

"Is there anything you want to say?" damian asked to see Daniela long ago just staring at him. Daniela nodded.

"Damian how long are you going to hide it from me? He must be proud and happy to have you." Daniela was unraveling the questions in her head one by one. Damian understands.

"Hiding?....I think I should be honest with you. I didn't mean to hide from you. I think it's just a game and it'll be a game over for a while. She's my woman, but she's just my toy. I married her so she would know her limits. I'm not his. Damian belongs only to his wife ..Daniela Pradana's. So if you don't like me in another woman's possession then don't let me go." Damian rubbed Daniela's cheek. He also doesn't want Daniela to have another man and he won't let go of Daniela.

"But if you don't love me, why am I with you? You don't want to lose me because of papa?" daniela asked suspiciously.

"You mean I'm afraid of your papa? " Damian was joking, he knew what Daniela meant.

"Maybe it's one of them. That can't be denied, can it? But obviously because you're my choice. Of all the women I know, you're the best. Is it wrong to choose the best?" Damian answered frankly. Daniela is confused she should be happy or sad.

"Daniela because I hurt you let me heal that wound. Trust me. I'll prove my words." Damian said sure. He'll rekindle Daniela's love for him.

"Yuk bath, did you shower first or did I?" ask Damian sweet.

"You take a shower first." Daniela was still busy with her thoughts. Damian got up slowly and went into the bathroom. Daniela also woke up. He's preparing Damian's clothes. She remembered what Arabela said about knowing her husband. Now he doesn't recognize Damian. The marriage he saw was simple and easy on his path was suddenly enigmatic and left him injured. With his arrogance Damian said he did not want to have just any woman. Only Daniela has it. Does that mean he is very strong? Even though Damian does not love him but wants to obey his wishes. Does he have to learn to recognize Damian?

"Daniela today I will be very busy in the office. Many important meetings. What are your plans today?" ask Damian who's putting on a tie.

"Today I'm going to the airport, pick up Ariadna. He just got back from Paris." Daniela replied as she checked her phone again. Ariadna's worried about coming home.

"The paris? do you want to go there sometime?" damian asked so he had an idea to take Daniela's heart.

"You have time. Your kingdom is busy. I still have to help my mom." Daniela refused subtly.

"For you, I have time. If you don't want to leave now. But to the city the same driver. I may be home a little late, but I try before dinner I'm home." Damian promised. Daniela was always at home before Damian came home. Damian didn't come home, he was home. Daniela's heart is so sore.

"Breakfast yuk." Damian's invitation to disperse Daniela's daydreams. They also headed to the dining room. As usual Daniela serves Damian. But this time Daniela's face was not as bright as usual. Damian understood, it was impossible to restore Daniela's feelings like turning the palm of the hand. Takes time. Damian was patient because this was his doing too. As usual Daniela drove Damian to the door. After Damian left Daniela prepared to leave. Before picking up Ariadna Daniela must visit Damian's parents' house. Her mother-in-law called her.

"We're going to Pradana's main house." Daniela said to the driver.

"Good mistress." Driver Daniela politely replied.
