Selfish Husband
The Unwanted Presence
"Did you dare think about cheating? I married you so that I would look better in the eyes of others and I would never let you do it. I can't make you ruin my family's good name. Understood?" Vania could only nod in response.
As Zeyn turned around and entered her room, Vania's body slumped, her knees giving up to support her body.
Tears now flooded Vania's cheeks, she could have thought that Zeyn cared about her! hope Zeyn gets jealous!
Back again if Vania is nothing more than a complement to the life of a Zeyn.

Zeyn wakes up in the middle of the night. His head throbbed and felt dizzy after drinking a few glasses of wine while with his friends.
He's not as strong as Kevin who can drink a few bottles of wine. Zeyn did not make alcohol a regular drink when he met his friend, but he only drank when he felt under pressure like today.
Zeyn massaged his temple quietly with the intention of alleviating the pain in his head.
Zeyn grabbed the glass on the nightstand, his throat was dry and wanted to drink a few sips of water. A glass that contains no water at all.
Zeyn let out a rough sigh, then flicked up his blanket and got up to the kitchen to fill the void of the glass he was holding.
Zeyn slowly dragged his feet with his eyes half-closed. Due to the lazy factor, Zeyn did not even bother to turn on the lights.
His leg stumbled over something and Zeyn fell silent thinking that he had never put anything on the kitchen door.
Zeyn returned to the living room to suppress a light, occasionally wiping his face. His eyes accidentally found a familiar object, Zeyn approached and crouched down just to look at it. She Vania, was asleep on the floor with both hands hugging her knees.
"What's wrong here?" zeyn asked like a whisper. Even if she knew that Vania wouldn't hear it.
Zeyn was hesitant about the initiative that was ringing in his head, whether he should do it.
"Should I do something?" ask Zeyn more to himself.
Zeyn got up and walked towards the kitchen, drinking a delayed glass of water. Zeyn was pensive for a long time, the flash of events last night came back to mind and made him feel bad.
Zeyn didn't do anything wrong or say anything wrong. But seeing Vania lying on the floor made it seem so pitiful that Zeyn began to sympathize.
Zeyn returned to the living room and stared at him for a while, before cradling Vania bridal style towards the living room sofa and slowly laying Vania down so as not to disturb her sleep.
Zeyn runs into Vania's room for the first time, snatching a blanket and wanting to cover her so as not to get cold.
Did Zeyn hit something? Why is that bike with Vania? Is there a flick of magic that may have fostered affection, liking, or perhaps love?
Unfortunately, it is only a perception.
"But he'll be cold! If I did he'd realize it was me and maybe he'd misunderstand." Zeyn decides to do nothing and keeps the blanket he holds in Vania's room and returns to her room to continue sleeping.

Early in the morning, Vania slowly opened her eyes in line with the rising sunlight that showed off its light from the eastern horizon.
Not thinking too much about it, Vania continued her activities to the bathroom and continued to check out Zeyn's bedroom which was of course uninhabited as usual.
Vania heads to the kitchen, takes out a bowl and pours the cereal and liquid milk that she takes out of the refrigerator. Mix it up and sit in the living room while tuning her favorite TV channel.
"Would my life go like this every day? Sleeping alone, waking up alone, and living all day alone just to be harassed by my husband? Waiting for him to come home from work and shed all my tears and fall asleep only to wake up and feel lonely for the rest of the day?"

A week had passed and Zeyn still did not say anything after the incident the other day. The situation increasingly suffocates the succum of a Vania and makes her unable to bear the pressure she feels.
Saturday is the day Zeyn comes home late and Vania decides to go out, just take a walk.
Vania is well aware of activities to find fresh air or just see the busy pedestrians passing by in the park.
The scene that greatly interests Vania is when there is a couple playing with her child. Vania was so happy to see him, what if it happened to her as well? Don't forget everything Vania wants is just a wishful thinking that knows when it will happen.
Vania has also decided to find work in kindergarten as a teacher. Maybe because of Vania's love for children. With his qualifications, Vania could be accepted easily.
In her heart, she is very grateful to her parents for wanting the perfect child and making Vania go through all the extra courses.
The sun was getting hotter and Vania who did not want to go back home and sat in front of the TV without doing anything. That way, Vania once again visited the Kindergarten where she would work, just to see the atmosphere and take a chance to find the fastest way to get there.
It only takes 15 minutes to walk and go through three turns. Arriving at school, Vania was greeted kindly by the Headmaster and asked several things related to the calculation of expertise to become a teacher.

On the way home, Vania took the time to stop by the cafe to relax and unwind and order her favorite bubble tea. Vania sat looking out the window, observing the hustle and bustle of the city in the late afternoon.
Eight o'clock in the night and it was getting darker outside, Vania finally came home with an unhurried rhythm of footsteps.
"Tonight is Sunday night, Zeyn is definitely out with his friends and there's no way to go home soon" he said, playing a bubble tea straw in his hand.
At least that's what Vania thought on the way to her house, but it was completely inversely proportional to her expectations.
"Wandering where have you been?"
I don't know why the sentence was so hated by Vania to get out of Zeyn's mulu. As if he had nothing, he had no place for Vania to stop by. Vania hated every word Zeyn had spoken lately.
Vania walks past Zeyn, but is intercepted by Zeyn's burly hand which pulls Vania back to where she originally stood.
"I don't wander and what do you care about? Take care of your own business. I also never asked you where you went all this time and always came home late drunk!" Vania slightly raised her voice, she was completely stifled with emotion and fed up with everything.
"Maybe, you're having fun with a lot of women! Ta ... "
Plaque!
