My husband, Too Handsome

Chapter 31 (Clarity)

Silence enveloped the darkness of the night. Regular breath sounds obvious. The main room of the married couple was lit only by a sleeping lamp beside the nightstand right on the side of the bed. The clock on the wall showed at one o'clock in the evening and thirty minutes. Unfortunately, Vera's eyelids are still not willing to close. Following in the footsteps of the husband who had been four hours and thirty minutes asleep at his side.

The shadow of Lili's beautiful face made this one woman feel a sense of uncertainty. Not to deny if in the heart there is fear, if this man returns to spread a sense that has withered or even died. In the past, maybe Vera will look ordinary. Or maybe not even care. If the husband loves another woman. When the heart is not involved.

Unfortunately, here. Love is a body. Until fear comes along unsettling the mind and heart.

"Come, Vera! Please stop thinking about the uncertain truth. And stop, wondering!" monologue Vera. Before his body rose from a slanted sleeping position turned his back on Leo.

Vera stood up from her sitting position. Before stepping out of the room. Perhaps, warm chocolate milk was able to calm the strange feeling in his heart. A few weathered in lights to light up his footsteps. Down one by one the stairs. Before we head into the kitchen. Grasak-grusuk, sounds faint. Until the activity of making a glass of warm chocolate milk is on the dining table. Vera again sighed after sipping on her handmade warm chocolate milk.

"This is how hard it is" Vera lamented, "when women love, they we give men their whole hearts. When injured, there will be no side of the heart intact. In a household that is very afraid not to fall poor. But treason!" his own monologue.

I want Vera to scream out loud. If only I could not remember the place and the clock. His palm rubbed his face rough. The swift footsteps made the two pupils of Vera's eyes perfectly rounded. Before quickly changing his face. Two large hands cover his neck from behind. His right shoulder is heavy.

"Why stay here and leave me alone?" ask Leo in a raspy tone typical of people waking up. Even his eyes are still closed. When his head was dropped on Vera's shoulder.

Vera commented a smile. Even though he knows Leo will not see if he smiles or not.

"I woke up from sleep. And I couldn't sleep anymore, so I decided to make some warm chocolate milk. Does your sister want to?" ask Vera in a soft tone.

Leo opened his two eyelids. Sure enough, on the table in front of him was a glass of chocolate milk.

"So don't you want me to make chocolate milk too?" ask Vera before looking up at her husband.

Leo did not answer. Like this man was very tired and sleepy.

"If not, let's go back to the room" Vera said as she received no response.

"His brown milk is not over. We'll just stay here, I'll have you drink chocolate milk!" Said Leo while raising his head and releasing the winding around Vera's neck. This handsome man stood firm.

Vera shakes her head."No need. I just take the chocolate milk upstairs. Like her, brother's sleepy!" reject Vera.

"It's okay, anyways sleep a little!" abugn.

"No, ah. I won't be here long either!" Said Vera while standing from her sitting position.

His hand grabbed the glass of warm chocolate milk before stepping first towards the stairs. Leo just followed Vera's footsteps. This man did not suspect any of his wife. From the beginning of my home until now. Women are very good at performing if they are okay. Even in a broken heart.

...***...

Nadia rushed to pull the plastic chair she had sat on closer to Vera. Ke is only a little dodging Zita to see how Nadia reacts.

"Why don't you just meet Lili and warn her. Even if there's a taste, it doesn't mean he doesn't know his limits!" nadia said in a displeased tone.

Vera sighed harshly."I can't possibly be," she replied slowly.

"No way why?" hatch Nadia.

"I'm afraid I don't want him to think he's an opponent to be afraid of. Because he was with Leo's brother" replied Vera.

"Come, Vera. You are Leo's legal wife. Commemorating the girl keganjenan is mandatory," said Nadia excited.

"Indeed, Vera has to do. Got to hit him and tell him to stay away from Leo's sister?" timpal Zita's.

Nadia's head nodded."Yeah, sure you are!"

"He can argue that he has nothing in common with Leo. And spread the word that Vera is a possessive and aggressive wife, Nad!" obviously Zita.

"What's wrong?" upset Nadia.

"I'm afraid, Leo's brother doesn't like the same kind of woman. In a sense, I don't trust my husband." Vera answered while linking her five fingers together.

Just say Vera is currently under jealousy. Jealous of the husband's ex-lover. The fear that once existed grows back. However, he was more afraid of missteps and damaging his household.

Nadia and Zita are silent after Vera's last words. Zita's palm rubbed Vera's back gently. Vera turned her head towards Zita's sweet face. The woman smiled.

"Please yourself first. We both don't know what their relationship is right now. If we guess, there will be no clarity. It's good, you calm down and ask Leo nicely. Who knows, you'll be relieved to hear your husband's answer!" Zita gives input with more mature.

Vera reviewed the smile and nodded."Thank you," said Vera slowly.

"Yes, you're welcome!"

The three went quiet again afterwards.

...***...

Tinkling spoons and forks become a tone filler at the dining table. Every now and then Vera glanced at the handsome face of the husband who was eating voraciously as usual. Sometimes they talk lightly.

"Sister!" call Vera slowly.

Leo's scooping motion stopped. He lifted his gaze from the food on the sweet face of the wife.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Two days ago, whose lunch brother was the same?" ask Vera to try to find out Leo's honesty.

Leo scrunched his forehead. He tried to remember two days ago who he had lunch with.

"Two days ago, I had lunch with a business colleague and model for a new property promotion" Leo said.

Vera tried her best to look calm."Ah, so."

"Why indeed?"

"That" Vera paused, "actually that day I came to the office" he continued.

"Eh? You're going to the office?" leo asked with an incredulous face. Vera said that day that she went straight home. He canceled an appointment to the office because of the sauce.

"Yes" replied Vera. Before resuscitating his back on the back of the chair."Is the model of the big sister company this time is Lili?" continue to ask questions.

Leo's choked. This man blinked several times to his two eyelids, when his brain remembered that day. At that time her secretary was in the office for reviewing the meeting that day. And when he had ordered the food manager Lili suddenly had business and died eating alone with Lili.

"Hey! Don't tell me you're misunderstanding" Leo almost shouted.

The man stood up from his sitting position. Take a spot next to Vera. Fast movements he grabbed the hand of the wife grasping her tightly. Vera just remained silent without expression.

"I was actually eating three, I really wasn't lying. At that time manager Lili had a sudden business. Until I died, I was with Lili. Because I thought of him as a friend, so I sat down to eat with him. I could swear!" leo said in a panicked tone.

Vera is still flat-faced. Leo looked frightened. This man is afraid that Vera is getting a misunderstanding. This guy didn't mean anything. Given that the relationship he and Lili had ended.

"Vers!" call Leo.

Vera's breath sounded. Before she puts on a smile.

"Yes, I believe!" he said in the end.

Leo rubbed and kissed the back of Vera's palm. It was good to see Vera's smile.

"I love you. And he and I have nothing to do with it. In addition to work problems," said Leo again.
