Not the Dust Granules

Alex's Lies.

Today was not as usual, Irene came home alone from the office. Alex tells me he has to be late. There are events in the office that cannot be left behind. Although real

her Irene desperately needed her presence, yet she could understand it.

"Sir, has the baby's room been cleaned??".

"Already Mom, someone came to arrange the baby's room, said the father who told".

"Yes, let me check later".

"Mom wants dinner now, let me prepare".

"Later on, wait for you to come home".

"Good Mom".

Actually not without reason if Irene wanted to be accompanied by her husband. He had just suffered a big loss, at a time when the condition of the postpartum body was still not recovering properly. But Irene had no other choice.

In his own office, Alex is restless. Miss's threats the other day forced her to lie to her wife. He didn't want to risk letting Miss into the house, while Irene's condition was still not one hundred percent recovered. Forced Alex to comply with Miss's wishes for dinner at the restaurant.

Alex is getting ready to leave, because Miss has already booked a place at her favorite restaurant. This time he was forced to surrender to the woman who became his High School friend.

A few minutes later, Alex entered the restaurant. Miss greeted Alex with a smile. She was about to kiss her cheek, but Alex's hand gesture made her stop doing it.

"I just want to accompany you to eat".

"We're done as soon as possible, so I can get home soon".

"It's not fair Alex, I want to talk to you too, right?".

"Listen, Miss, my wife needs me more now than you".

"So, in order to keep his feelings in check, I'm willing to meet you, so you don't disturb him at home".

Miss endured her frustration. He is angry that Alex is now prioritizing his wife. Unlike before, it is free to go out with anyone at will.

Throughout the meal, Alex was more silent. Miss just keeps sulking and spoiling Alex. Alex always avoided. As much as possible he avoids physical contact with Miss.

It's almost 8 p.m., but Alex hasn't been home yet. Irene hesitated to contact him. I'm afraid Alex is still working. As a result, Irene waited for Alex by lying on the front sofa.

Alex finished his dinner and left, about to leave the restaurant.

"I have to go home now, or Irene will be anxious".

"Let's relax a little Alex, it's only 8 o'clock".

"We usually go home late at night, right??".

"Aren't you interested in going out for a drink with me??".

"Enough, I'm going..!!!".

"Next time don't bother me anymore".

Alex stepped out of the restaurant in anger. While a woman quietly followed from behind. From now on, the woman had noticed Alex's behavior.

When he reached the parking lot, he called his name and directly slapped him.

"Cloth...!!!".

Alex was shocked to see the woman in front of him. His hands reflexively rubbed his cheeks that looked red.

"Your path is Alex, apparently you haven't changed either".

"Vera, what are you doing here??".

"Who's the woman you were with, try to explain it to me".

"She...he's my friend, we went to school first".

"Here you go, there's no way he's behaving like that if you're just friends".

"Did Irene know about this??".

"Vera, please.I deliberately didn't tell Irene this".

"Oh..so apparently".

"You are so outrageous!!".

"The stitch wound on your wife's stomach isn't dry yet".

"But you left him to go with another woman".

"You're mistaken for Vera, that's not what I meant".

"Let's just explain, I have to go home now".

"Irene must be worried waiting for me".

"Alex.......I'm not finished, Alex....wait!!".

Before Vera could catch up to him, Alex drove his car into the street. He wants to see Irene soon.

Unheeded his anger Vera

Alex is racing his sports car. In just a few minutes, he arrived at his home.

Alex rushed into the house.

On arrival in the living room, he found his wife asleep. Dinner was still on the table. That means his wife hasn't had dinner yet.

Alex walks into his housekeeper's room. He's still ironing in the living room.

"Mom, did you eat yet ?".

"Not yet sir, he said waiting for the father to come home, just wanted to eat together".

"The children's room is done??".

"Already sir, it's neat and saucy".

"Alright, I took a shower first".

"Yes sir".

Alex put down his briefcase and went straight into the room. He took a shower and changed his clothes. After that, he went out to wake his wife.

"Darling, wake up. I'm home".

"When you came, I didn't hear you come in".

"You slept well, so I took a shower".

"Here,, you must not have eaten, no, let me take a bribe".

"Next time, don't wait for me to eat".

"You will have to breastfeed, so eat a lot, so that your breast milk will be smooth later".

Alex feeds Irene painstakingly, while telling stories to and fro.He tries to comfort the heart of his wife who is sad because of Roger yesterday.

In my heart Irene felt grateful because Alex's nature had completely changed. He is more attentive and loves himself more.

"I'll accompany you tomorrow to pick up our baby".

"That means you're not going to the office".

"I'd rather my daughter's son than the office".

"Because Doni's already started coming in".

"He can be counted on to take care of the office".

"Yes, you're right, there's Doni ready to take your place".

"How did he react this morning??".

"He looks beaten".

"He thinks this is his fault".

"Even though I have given him understanding".

"You take it easy, the police have managed to track down Roger".

"He's in Paris now".

"The police are seeking his arrest".

"Hopefully in the near future, your money could be back".

"I'm not thinking about that Alex".

"Now, my priority is for the kids first".

"I want to help them grow".

"Let's just get the money for you, papa".

Alex pinched Irene's cheek. The spoiled call made his heart rustle. There was also Roger yesterday.

Irene forgot about her marriage contract, preferring to take care of her children.

"Come, it's time to rest".

"Wait, there's been a lot of calls from Vera".

"What does he need with me?".

"Did something happen to Mama??".

"Forgot it, maybe Vera's just calling you around".

"We'll just rest, it's night after all".

Alex takes Irene's phone and turns it off. She was so nervous that Vera told Irene everything. Just now that they wanted to start a new relationship, Alex didn't want anyone to destroy him.
