My Mom Wants to Mate

67. Insecure

Karen's heart beats faster and faster when Daniel is very close to her.

Since it seemed that Karen was showing no signs of illness, the man headed into a position to sleep on his back to his wife.

Karen, who also turned her back to her husband, hugged and bit into the doll with frustration.

Aaarrrggghhh, can go crazy for a long time if you like this. (Karen).

Morning

Karen slept last night not quiet. Little did she look at her husband's face with an erratic heartbeat. He woke up later than usual.

📞"Hello, Den Daniel."

📞"Yes, Bi, what's up?"

📞"I'm sorry Den, I'm sick, today permission does not leave yes. Here I want to be escorted to the puskesmas near the house for treatment."

📞"Oh yes, Bi. Its nothing. Cepet's cured, Bi."

Because Karen wasn't awake yet, Daniel made breakfast in the kitchen. He chose to bake sausages, bread and cheese because he had to catch up on time to go to work.

After breakfast, Daniel ate the food. Usually, while Daniel was having breakfast, Karen followed. However, that day, it was past the clock usually Karen had not yet appeared.

Daniel returns to the room and finds Karen still hiding under the covers.

"Ren," call Daniel and shake Karen's body.

"Hm ...." With a lazy Karen opened her eyes and looked at the wall clock. "I'm not feeling well, I'm not in the office. I chatted the office guy was malem."

Daniel had breakfast to eat in the room.

"Kok is not Bi Sum who took it? You go to work."

Karen opened her phone. Aunt Sum also asked her permission through Chatsapp.

"Oh, Bi Sum is sick, huh? You're not leaving yet, Niel? It will be late."

Daniel shakes.

"You want to take care of me?"

Daniel nodded.

Karen then pushes Daniel out of the room. "You're off to work! Give my heart a break."

"Hm?" Daniel glared at Karen wanting to rest her heart because of the consequences: death.

"I mean, my pain right now is not severe, no need to be treated all."

Daniel's out of the room, Karen's closing the door. His heart was pounding no more.

The doctor came out of the house to work. When he opened the door, he was surprised by Haris who was already standing there with a bunch of flowers and a bag of fruit.

"Riss?"

"Oh hi, Niel. Kok is still at home. Kirain you have gone to the hospital," he said as he looked at the watch.

"What are you doing?"

"I looked at Karen, she said she was sick."

"Do you know where my wife is sick?"

"From Inda."

"You know Inda?"

"Yes, I work at Karen's. Didn't Boss Karen ever tell you? Hm, or does he want a secret? Gawat dong, I'm unlocking secrets."

Daniel was shocked, but his face was flat so he could not read his surprise. He noticed the courtyard of the house, there were no vehicles parked there. "Aren't you taking the vehicle?"

"My motorbike again entered the workshop so I took a taxi."

Hearing the sound of people talking, Karen opened the door.

"Oh, there's Haris. Why?"

"Call, he said you were sick."

"I'm not really sick. But yeah let's go in!" he said to Haris. "Niel, you go there! It's too late."

Haris went inside the house with the front door not closed. Seeing that, Daniel calmed down a bit and left for the hospital.

Happy Family Hospital

Daniel just finished a consultation with the first patient.

He thought hard about his wife who claimed to be sick when there was absolutely no sign of pain, only looks sleep deprived. Then the arrival of Harus who suddenly surprised him earlier. Haris and Karen compactly tell him to leave immediately.

Daniel intertwines the chain of events and ends up with the conclusion that it was no coincidence. Karen and Haris purposely wanted to meet at home, she thought.

He became unsettled and agitated.

"Dok, sick?" ask nurse.

Daniel nodded. "I'm calling doctor Zelani to change me today, please let the patient in line be informed."

"All right, Doc."

Daniel immediately drove his car home.

At the front of the house, the main door was closed.

Then, from the room there was the sound of hip hop music playing at a fairly loud volume.

Seeing that state, Daniel's mind traveled everywhere. He remembered when he was in college. He once visited his friend who lived in the boarding house.

His friend was playing music loudly in his room. And it turns out she's with her boyfriend.

He opened the door, unlocked.

With a hurried step, he headed to the room. In his mind, he had imagined the various possibilities of what the two people who had a special relationship in the past did.

His chest felt tight and his breathing was stingy. He was at the door of the room. He opened the door and ....

He found Karen scratching her head while shaking in frustration in front of the mirror.

"Hoah, Kudanyl! Huh hah, just be surprised!" Karen was shocked by her husband's arrival. The sound of the car is not heard because the sound of music dominates.

Daniel gave a glance. There's no Haris there. The tension in the body decreases and slowly disappears. He let go of his breath, relieved.

"Dear?" ask Daniel.

"I told you to work, I'm the boss."

Karen's a little upset Daniel's coming home. He wants to spill and express all the feelings in the heart that were later unclear. However, it failed because the heart-pounding maker was nearby now.

"You, why go home?"

Daniel shakes. Then head to the walk in closet to change clothes at home.

~A flashback when Haris saw Karen this morning~

After Daniel goes to work, Haris and Karen sit in the living room.

"It's for you." Haris gives flowers and fruit.

"Thank you, Ris."

"You don't look sick." Haris looked at Karen.

"Physically it doesn't hurt, but my mind really hurts so I want to rest my heart and mind."

"You alone?"

"Oh yeah, ART again get sick today, I'm home alone. It's over there, work."

"Later dong, the host hasn't given me tea or anything."

"I'm sick and my ART isn't there either. I'm home alone again, and the devil's passing by."

"There won't be any demons by the time, will I be the devil."

"Aren't you going?"

"Yes yes I'm leaving, fierce boss. Bentar, taxi first. My motor again maintenance in the workshop, understand the big motor expensive."

"No, no!"

"Well, if it's so bad it's cute, boss," said Haris.

"Your bald lips! Right there, wait for the cab outside!"

"Wheel .. when I came here with the same flower fruit you know, how are you encouraged?"

"It's not a bad thing, I'm someone's wife and I'm home alone again, so you're on the hunt before being raided by someone so complex!"

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Haris is gone.

Karen went to the room and looked at herself in the mirror. He studied the household life that has been running for 3 months.

He thought of the man who had lived with him for these 3 months. They're not even just a roof, but a bed.

We slept in bed, even though we were married because of an arranged marriage, what side of him as a man is not keder how do I sleep in bed with me for 3 months? Time at Mami's house he sped so aggressive anyway, but it was the result of Mami giving medicine. If he is alone naturally, cooking is not interested in me? At all? (Karen).

Thinking about it makes the mind more stressful. He turned on the laptop and played music.

This time he did not play mellow music like before. He did not want to be too fond of and consider his feelings for Daniel.

He chose hip hop music, a music whose songs rarely talk about sad love or purity.

He went back to the front of the mirror and jigged as he did back when he was a cheerleader. She felt her reflection in the mirror was still beautiful and attractive. The dance he did was very gleaming (in his opinion).

I am not ugly. And I'm a former cheerleader lhoh cheerleader! Camn it! Didn't he look at me at all? High School Time, I'm a scramble to know! And you Kudanil do not know yourself, bed with me every day, just a little not tempted? The anubis statue. (Karen).

The song also changed. A song that once made him insecure, now played accidentally.

🎶Mas, opo I iki

🎶White less ayu

🎶Opo less sexy to mas

🎶Less ayu less sexy

🎶Less ayu less sexy

🎶Less ayu less sexy

('Less Sexy'-Soimah)

"Aarrrggghh." Karen scratched her head and shook her head.

Suddenly the door to his room opened from outside.

"Hoah, Kudanyl! Huh hah, just be surprised."
