Not the Dust Granules
Occasions
Irene woke up from her sleep. He saw the clock on his wrist. It's 7 p.m. They both fell asleep in Irene's study. Both of them were exhausted, making love all afternoon.
Hurriedly Irene put on her clothes and rushed to wake Alex who was still sound asleep.
"Alex,, get up. It's night, we have to go home!!".
"Alex...ayo get up,,, open your eyes".
"You're why baby, you're acting like a teenager".
"We're married, and you're with your husband right now".
"Calm down, don't panic too much".
"Your parents will never punish you, even if we spend the night here".
"It's not Alex, what about the kids, you don't miss them".
"Nina took good care of him, didn't she?!".
"They're fine at home".
"Let's relax for a moment, forget everything, just think about the two of us".
"Let's go. I still want to hug you in a minute".
Irene came back to the bed and welcomed Alex's embrace. There is also a truth to what her husband did. Irene could not remember the last time she could relax. There are a lot of problems on his mind. And this time, Alex gave him a chance to share his story. Just the two of them, that way, might be able to slightly release the burden that had been in his heart.
Irene was crying in Alex's arms. It feels very comfortable, after all the things that have happened in his life. This time he steadfastly leaned his entire life burden onto the man he loved. Whatever happens, they will face it together.
"I'm sorry, Irene, that I haven't been able to be the perfect man for you all this time".
"But I can assure you that I will always be by your side".
"I know Alex, without saying anything, I've understood everything".
"Please, this time stay by my side as promised".
"Definitely baby, don't worry".
Irene's cell phone rings disperse the romantic moments of Irene and Alex. Irene looked at her husband's eyes as a gesture to pick up the phone. Instantly Alex releases her hug, and tells Irene to answer the call on her phone.
"It's from Mr. Bagas, baby!!".
"Why did he call you??".
"So morning didn't you give me permission??".
"Yes, wait a minute, let me see what she wants".
"Sir Bagas, how can I help you??".
"Where have you been, Irene, I've been waiting for you at the restaurant".
"You promised me dinner, didn't you??".
"Did you deliberately pretend to forget??".
"About that, I don't forget Mr. Bagas".
"But Alex still needs my care".
"Please understand, if for now I can't come".
"Later I'll call you back".
"Thank you in advance, Bagas".
Irene closed her phone. Apparently her husband's boss was serious about her remarks. He was even at the restaurant for dinner with Irene.
"Why did the look on your face change like that??".
"That's Mr. Bagas, he's asking for dinner, because he took over your duties all day".
"How dare that young man tease mine".
"But there are many beautiful girls out there who are not married".
"It seems that this time my rival increased by one".
"I have to be careful and watch over the young man".
"You're overdoing it Alex".
"Maybe he just wants to be treated by you".
"Don't get me wrong baby, it's just a young mother like you is often the target of young snot, like Bagas his example".
"It's Alex.wear your clothes, we go home now".
Alex got out of bed and put on his clothes. Irene waited patiently on her study couch. By the time the two of them came out, the boutique room already looked deserted. There was only a security guard outside.
The security guard was shocked when he saw Irene and Alex coming out. He thought the shop had been closed since. Know there are two bosses, of course the security guard can serve them to eat or drink.
"We go home first sir, please take care of this boutique".
"Not until a thief comes in".
"Sorry sir, I didn't know Mr. Alex and Ms. Irene had a night off".
"I locked all the doors".
"What's wrong, we're done now".
"Continue your work, this is to buy coffee so as not to drown".
"I'm sorry to go home, sir".
"Thank you very much Alex".
"Be careful on the road".
Alex immediately took Irene's hand into the car. Meanwhile, the security guard in charge looked at the couple with a feeling of amazement. Both of his superiors were very good to him. Not once twice did Alex give her money tips for herself. Of course, the security guard was very lucky to work in the boutique owned by Irene and Alex.
An hour later, Alex and Irene arrived home. The atmosphere was quiet, but it was only 9 p.m.
"Tumben is so quiet, are the kids asleep??".
"Maybe baby, we'd better get in first".
Alex and Irene went into the house. In the living room, Mia was still watching television.
He immediately stood up when he saw his master coming home.
"The kids are asleep, Mia??".
"Yes ma'am, they were tired of playing with your friends this afternoon".
"Whose friend I am, why didn't anyone tell me they were playing here".
"His name is Bagas sir, he was waiting for you here earlier".
"He wanted to see a sick man".
"The boy was apparently here too".
"What I'm saying is, um, that kid can't be underestimated".
"What did you tell her, Mia?".
"I told you, mom and dad are checking up to the hospital".
"Good, I like it when you're smart like this".
"It's a bonus from me, you can go shopping tomorrow".
"Let's rest..you must be tired of Mia".
"Okay, Miss Irene, thank you so much for the bonus tonight".
Irene nodded and smiled at Mia.
Alex embraces his wife's body, and invites her into the room. They still have to shower and clean themselves.
"I'm so tired today mas".
"I know, baby, today you were great".
"Next time we repeat the activity as before".
"Do you agree with me, right??".
"I'll think, now just think about how to deal with Bagas tomorrow morning".
Irene closed the bathroom door, while Alex was still lying on the bed. His mind was on Bagas. But it's not the job he's afraid of. He was worried to see the attention Bagas had on his family.
A lot of things went through to get Irene. Including getting rid of Doni from Irene's side forever. If now he had to compete with Bagas, it would not be a problem for him.
