MY WIFE'S PASSION HURT ME

CHAPTER 6

My work out of town is done. Now I'm on my way home. I can't wait to ask Clarissa for an explanation.

I walked into the house, slowly stepping into the room. Clarissa was laughing happily, as if she was talking to someone on a phone call.

Cekleek.

I opened the room door, Clarissa was sitting in front of her dresser. He looked up and looked at me with his eyes round.

"Wenny call her hopefully first yes, I'll tell you again. Bye," she said turn off the phone, then come over to me.

"Iawang. Finally you come home too, muaach," Clarissa kissed my lips and hugged me tightly.

I don't know why I still remember what Rafael said, until my attitude was a little cold to Clarissa.

"You don't miss me, do you? why did she just go back then?" Clarissa pursed her lips in anger.

"I deliberately went home not ngabarin first, there's something I want to ask you. Where did you go yesterday, and who did you go to?"

I looked at Clarissa suspiciously, she turned her back and told her that her friend had a birthday at the Club. Because the show took place at night, Clarissa gave an excuse, if she was afraid of not getting permission from me.

"Where many of my friends came, there was a man there too. But you don't get me wrong baby, they all party, and some get drunk and stagger. So one of them hit me, until I fell into his arms. But we have nothing dear, believe me if you don't believe ask the same question Wenny."

"I knew today would happen, because Sinta accidentally said that Rafael was there. And he got upset again after seeing Rafael with another woman. That's why he deliberately sought to do something with me, he wanted to be with Raymond to avenge his pain because of Rafael. You stupid woman, you don't know if I'm smarter than you. Moreover, you tried to take my video with Raymond. It's a good thing that Wenny saw it, and he managed to get your phone down to shreds." Clarissa's inner self in her heart was full of cunning.

Without asking about the man she was with, Clarissa immediately told me everything. I felt like there was nothing I should suspect anymore, but half my heart felt something was wrong. But I can't question him any more. I'm sure Clarissa will be upset that I don't believe her.

"Do you still not believe me?" Clarissa looked at me with her eyes narrowed.

"I believe, I'm just worried about you. Next time you can't go alone let alone nights like that."

"Definitely Rafael who told you? I know for a fact that he saw the incident, and suspected me. You know, Rafael never believed in his own best friend."

We sat in the front garden and enjoyed a cup of tea. Evening today is not usually Clarissa to sit in the park, enjoying the twilight in the garden chair.

As the bell rang, Clarissa hurried to open the gate. A young man carrying a brown envelope stood outside the fence. He put his hands together with Clarissa. Out of curiosity I approached them.

"Sorry what is it gonna take?"

"Sir. I desperately needed a job, to support my sick mother. I have no job because I was fired by my boss. I take too many days off work to get my mother to treatment. But now let alone for treatment, to eat everyday I do not have sir. Please give me any job."

I'm thrilled to hear the story, but I don't know what to hire him for. Because all this time, we only hired Mbok Itoh in this house. Clarissa told me if she needed a driver to drive her anywhere. Actually we don't really need a driver, but there's no harm in helping this young man.

"But you're not just a driver here. Because my husband and I rarely go out, so you can do all the work in this house. How, do you want to?" ask Clarissa firmly.

"Darling, how could he possibly do all the work in this house?"

"That's the risk of working with us, oh, what's your name?" Clarissa ruffled around her waist looking at the young man with a sharp look in her eyes.

The young man shook our hands, and introduced his name.

"I'm Raymond Sir, Mom. And I want some odd jobs here. I don't mind being a chauffeur and doing other work."

"Alright Raymond, can hand over your job application file. Actually we just want to help you, may your mother recover soon. You can come back tomorrow morning."

I sat back on the park chair, opening the brown envelope containing the youth's personal data. Clarissa said goodbye to me coming into the house.

"I just want to sit inside, baby, there's a lot of dust" he replied as he walked into the house.

Next morning. Clarissa woke up earlier than me. He doesn't usually wake up that early.

"Honey. Wake up, I've prepared breakfast for you." said Clarissa by peeping at my cheek.

I stretched the muscles in the body, staring at Clarissa in astonishment.

"Loh Tumben you woke up earlier than me? what's up, a really bad tumben. Do you want to do this early in the morning?" I said by raising my eyebrows.

"Current. What the hell, baby, you're still tired. There's no way I'm asking you to do it this morning."

"Hm. Why not maybe, baby? usually you always make me ask for that every time I just come home out of town. How can you not play sports?"

"I know you're tired, baby. Later if you're not tired, we're playing games again."

I just smiled, feeling weird about Clarissa's change. He usually can't control his passion.

After preparing to leave for the office, Mbok Itoh came with Raymond.

"Sir, this man wants to see you."

"Yes Mbok Itoh, thank you."

"Please sit down." I asked Mbok Itoh to make a drink for Raymond.

I explained everything Raymond had to do when he wasn't doing his chauffeur job.

"Have you explained Ray? please drink the tea. After this, take me to the office. And you can go back home to help with Mbok Itoh's work."

Suddenly Clarissa came wearing a neat shirt and a tote bag.

"Where are you going?"

"I asked Raymond to drive me to the office. Where are you going, baby so early?"

"Hmm I'm going to the boutique, haven't been there for a long time."

Clarissa does have some boutiques as her side business. Even though he did business, because he was bored at home.

"Yes, we are together. Raymond after dropping me off, you drive Mom to her boutique."

"Yes sir."

Along the way Clarissa just kept quiet by playing her phone. Not usually my wife was so quiet, usually she always took a spoiled look in front of anyone. I thought, he was just shy of our new employee.

After arriving at the office, Clarissa simply kissed the back of my hand. Without hugging me as usual, I was a little strange with her change of attitude. But I'm thinking positively, if he's keeping his attitude in front of our new workers.
