Should We Divorce?

13

Serena, who was feeding Altan breakfast, immediately shrieked nervously as the sound of footsteps could be heard entering the dining room from behind her. The masculine scent that he was very familiar with and liked was slowly beginning to smell from a close distance. Serena tried to strengthen her heart, but when the figure was right in front of her, still her heart was racing fast.

"Morning." Ares kissed Altan's head crest with affection.

"Morning, Papi." Reply to the boy while chewing.

"Eat what?"

"Pancakes. Papi want?" Altan looked up at Ares who was still standing beside him.

Ares shakes. "Altan aja."

"Why? Papi likes Mami's pancakes."

"Today Papi should come early, won't make breakfast."

"Cock Papi don't eat anymore? Mami will be sad if Papi does not eat."

Altan's innocent rant made Ares take a deep breath. Really, hearing the name Serena alone was lazy, let alone thinking about it. Please let him start the day quietly without a shadow of his heartache.

In contrast to her husband, Serena's heart felt pinched. Looking at Ares's drastically changed mimicry when Altan mentioned his name, making his eyes hot. Not lost flashback about the incident last night that made him cry in sleep, now Ares add to his wound by appearing without using his choice of clothes.

Again, something Ares never did before, is happening. Ares who never did not like what Serena prepared. Serena always prepares the needs of Ares' office from top to bottom, and Ares always likes and always wears it.

And now what else? Ares refused breakfast. Refusing his cooking.

"Udah gapapa, darling, maybe Papi's in a hurry." Serena tried to comfort her son, who was, in fact, comforting his heart as well.

"But Mami won't eat anymore like a meal." Altan's words made Serena unable to immediately answer and glanced at Ares. But like last night, not a second did Ares stare back.

"Uhm... Mama ate, really. But later, after Altan's done."

"Tell?"

Serena nodded with her small smile. "Yes." Yeah."

"But Altan wants Papi to eat, Mi."

"When Papi's work is done, Papi will definitely come to eat with us again. Aren't you, Pi?" Serena asked while looking at Ares.

What power, the man was even indifferent and impressed not to consider the existence of Serena. "Combined eat it. Papi's leaving first."

Ares kissed Altan's right cheek, and the boy held his father's hand as he was about to leave. "What does Mami really say, Pi? Papi's gonna eat with us again, right?"

"Yes." Yeah." He said short as it passed.

"But wait." Prevent Altan on the third step of Ares. The call stopped Ares.

"But why don't you kiss Mami as well?"

Honestly Serena was surprised by Altan's question, but she was also curious about what Ares would answer. Secretly his hands squeezed each other on the dining table. His eyes looked at Ares' back who had not yet turned back.

And unexpectedly, Ares' answer made Serena's heart ditch. "Fire in a hurry."

Ares embraces Anye's waist which runs beside her. This time they were in the mall to spend their lunch. The plan here Ares will give Anye birthday gift that he promised the other day.

"It's not romantic for you. Everywhere people give gifts to secrets. It's even told to choose for yourself." Rajuk Anye's.

Ares chuckled softly. "You know I'm not a romantic guy. I don't know what to tell you either. Instead of buying wrong and rationnya you don't even like, you better choose yourself."

"Yes but I also want to sift people, romanticized so."

"Romantic is not important. What matters is the card. Aren't you?"

"Hmm." Muttered Anye lazily.

"Udah dong don't frown," Ares turned to Anye. "Now you choose what gift. Freer. Whatever. Buy anything."

"How can I think of what I want to do." Anye stopped her steps and turned her head all over the mall. Find out about what interests him.

"Where? Have you met?" Ask Ares.

"I think I want a camera, huh. Can you?"

"Just it?"

Anye nodded enthusiastically. "I like polaroids. So the pep can moto themselves."

"Anything for you, Sweetheart."

Anye smiled happily and returned Ares' embrace. The two of them walked towards the camera shop which was not far from where they had stopped earlier.

"Come on." Take Anye in front of the store.

"Eh jerk off," Ares felt a tremor in his pants pocket. He took his cell phone and got a call from the office. "You go first. I'll pick up the phone."

"Oh yes."

Ares talked for about three minutes with the guy on the other end of the phone. Discuss work. After he was done with his business, Ares entered the store intending to catch up with Anye. While inside, Ares's eyes skim through the entire store looking for Anye. But his eyes were fixed at one point.

As if hypnotized by what he saw, Ares' footsteps led him there. Standing in front of a high glass shelf where rows of retro cameras are presented there.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Mom?" A male employee with grey hair questioned him.

Ares nodded kindly. "I want to see that one."

Two sound compact. Not just Ares.

Kontan Ares turned to see who the owner of the voice that befell him. His jaw hardened for a moment. Eyes sharpening. It was unexpected that the person he hated the most appeared in front of him.

And so does that guy. No need to research twice, the man in front of Ares already knew who to face. An arrogant and dignified man who silenced his mouth with his words back then.

In some time, they had a war of views. Especially Ares's eyes that are getting stabbed.

"Uhm sorry... What's this going to be, Mom?" The young man grimaced fearfully watching the two men continue to be silent yet sinister.

"I bought it." Answer Reno.

"I, Mas." Typal Cold Ares.

Reno looks back on Ares. "I'm pointing at that." I'm Reno to the shopkeeper. Not to lose.

"You asked me first, didn't you, Mas?" Ares asked with a cold look like that chunk of ice.

The shopkeeper almost nodded in fear, but Reno burst open her voice.

"I'm here, Mom, if you don't know." Reno's sweat on the waiter.

"I'll come first." Ares Typal. This time looking at Reno even colder than before.

"What's the last time doesn't matter."

"Subscribe or not is not important."

"That's important, because I'm sure the owner of this store will be thanking me."

"Usually those who are already subscriptions will get a discounted price."

"I won't accept that price cut. I pay the price."

"I'll pay more than you."

When Reno was about to open her mouth, the shopkeeper ran through it. "Eng. anu, Mom. But this is real. He came first."

Reno stared intently at the shopkeeper. "You want me to report to your boss, huh?"

"My there. Don'tbeafraid. People don't know morals are usually just threatening." Bela Ares circus. The shopkeeper nodded.

Ares's eyes examined Reno's index finger pointing in front of him. His jaw is back hard. "I don't like being pointed at!" His fists sharp.

"And I don't like to be contradicted!"

"So don't take someone else's property!" Ares snapped Reno's ash-shirt collar.

I don't know why his emotions are so uncontrollable. This time it was like a camouflage of real life. The camera is likened to Serena - something Ares really likes and has chosen. Then suddenly Reno came. Liked the same thing. Just take it and acknowledge it as his own.

Perfect! Very simila.

"Dare to An-

Reno's hand that was already floating in the air stopped when a woman suddenly came.

"Ares, what's going on? Past it. Take off his clothes." Tell Anye to pull Ares' hand. He was panicked and embarrassed because Ares' quarrel was the center of attention.

Ares' gaze was still on Reno. The veil in her protruding hand signified that her grip on Reno's shirt was so tight. Almost suffocating.

"res, please. It's yes." The whisper of soft Anye.

Slowly Ares' grip loosened, until it was completely detached. Reno squealed angrily and tidied up her slightly tangled t-shirt.

"The camera belongs to me. Point!" Press Reno in every word. His gaze still held Ares.

"The usurper will forever be the usurper." Ares's fists were sharp, while pushing Reno's shoulder.

Ares walked quickly up the stairs as Serena followed him from behind. His jaw hardened because he was lazy to hear Serena's endless babbling. Plus the shadow of the incident last afternoon came to his brain. He recalls Serena's betrayal.

Serena meant well. He's just worried about why Ares just came home this early morning.

"Ares wait. I'm not done talking." Serena tried to suppress her voice so as not to shout too much so as not to wake Altan who was asleep.

Ares turned the doorknob of his room, and threw his suit on the bed. The man also pulled a rough tie, then just crashed it.

"Wait, Ares." Hold Serena slowly. Not sarcastic and fierce like yesterday.

Ares clucked a little and was about to step into the bathroom, but Serena tried to hold him back by reaching Ares' hand. "Tung-tung

"I told you not to touch me!" Ares' body retreated from Serena's reach and her palm meant for Serena to keep her distance.

"Res?" lirih Serena with a look of disbelief. "Why are you, anyway? Why can't I get whipped up? Why did you stay away from me from yesterday?"

"Because I don't like it!" Sentak Ares firmly.

"Don't like what? We've been all right all along. You suddenly change."

"I don't like you to ask. Know?!" Pressing sharply.

"I was wrong as your wife? Am I wrong to know where her husband is going until he doesn't come home? Do you think I'm not worried about seeing my own husband come home drunk?"

"I can take care of myself."

"But I can't keep my feelings calm, Res. Can't."

"Why? Why can't you, huh? You used to not care about me, so now is it hard to keep going like that?"

Serena gulped her saliva roughly with teary eyes. Ares's right. It was like that. Long ago. But now? He can't. He couldn't care less about Ares. Her husband, the man she now loves. Why doesn't Ares understand? Didn't she see in Serena's eyes so much love?

"Diem, right you? Can't answer?" cibir Ares with sarcasm. "That's because you care about me as much as I'm just afraid. You're used to me, and when I'm not around you get scared. Aye, right?"

Serena shook her head a little, but Ares was instead grimacing. "Do you know?"

"I don't think so." Whisper Serena with her voice.

"Whatever." Ares hit Serena's shoulder.

"Ares I haven't finished talking." Serena's body blocked Ares's path.

"What else? What else do you want to talk about? You don't realize you've been talking too much, have you?"

Serena braved herself holding both of Ares' arms. She was already crying. "I just want to know why? Why have you changed? I'm wrong what's wrong with you?"

"Take off" hiss Ares. "I have to remember how many times so you know I don't like being touched by you? Do I have to puk----

"Yes. Hit, Res, hit. Come hit me. But as long as you know, I won't let you go before you answer my question."

"You're abstaining from me?!" Ares grabbed both hands of Serena roughly, then squeezed them.

"Sshhh," Serena grimaced. "It hurts, Res."

"You want to know why me? Wanna know?"

"Ares, sick. Take it off." Serena tears.

As if blinded and cared for, Ares twisted Serena's hand to the back of the woman's back, then Ares' right hand clamped Serena's chin up to look up.

"You, all that is in you, I am sick of it" Ares sighed as sharp as a sword. "I want us to separate." Then Serena's body just crashed.

Serena's body was limbed being driven by Ares. But he was sure that what made his feet tremble at this moment was Ares' words. What did he say just now? Be separated? Suddenly Serena breathed. Her tears are free. His shaking hands were unable to shrink his own tears.

"A-ap-what?" So stifled, Serena to stammer.

"Step apart" said Ares calmly. "I want us to pis-

"Don't" Serena limped closer to Ares. His trembling index finger stuck to the man's lips. "Don't say that again. Don't." Don't."

Ares brushed aside Serena's hand. "I want us to separate!"

Serena's head shook. "No! This you must be unconscious again, right? Aye, right? Tell me you're drunk, Res. Tell me it's just a joke."

"In your dream," sneered Ares sharply. "I'm really apart from you! Know you, huh?!" His impact.

"But what is the reason? What's my fault?What's my lack?" Serena's face was already flooded with tears. Head dizzy.

"I want a divorce! Point."

"No. Notwithstanding. Don't tell me that. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You said what I should fix. I'll fix everything. You want us to have another child, right? Comeing! I agree we have another child. But please don't be this way."

"You didn't hear what I said? I'm sick! I'm sick of you! I'm sick of everything in you!"

"What's the reason? What?!" scream Serena frustrated. He really does not know where the fault lies, but Ares put him in the wrong position without explaining what the cause is. "I don't know where my fault is, Res! Why are you punishing me like this, huh?! Why?"

"Where are you asking wrong?" ares' eyes squinted furiously. "Think of using that pretty brain of yours! Have you ever done wrong to make me change and split kayak gini?! Think on!"

"You're wrong, I'm sorry" isak Serena raucous. "I'll fix everything, Res. I beg. Don't think gini. Do I need to kneel before you? I'll do it, Res, I'll do it."

"You don't have to humble yourself like that, Serena. You didn't accept this marriage from the beginning, did you? Why are you now acting so objectionable?"

"No. I don't want to." Serena bobbing head.

"Take care of me and we'll be happy together. Understood?!"

"No! I don't want to, Res. Please don't force me."

"Why not, huh? Tell me you want to! Tell me we're gonna get out!"

"No. Won't do! I don't want to take you off!"

"You must want to! You must!" Ares held tightly to two sides of Serena's arm. His eyes were blocking patience. "Wouldn't you go back to the person you really loved? That way you can be happy! I can be happy too!"

"There's no way I can live happily if I let go of the person I love."

Ares' body turned stiff. His eyes moved in confusion. Her hands began to fall off from both of Serena's arms. "What do you mean?"

"I love you, Ares. I'm officially loving you."
