"Don't joke, Sara!"

"Why?"

"That .. surprised me. My heart's been acting up a lot lately. I don't want to die young yet" Max said.

Sara chuckled, she looked at Max with a mocking look.

"You're old, Max. Just look at your sideburns are getting thicker and will soon be gray."

Not finding a satisfactory answer from his wife, Max approached. He let Sara button her shirt and put a tie around her neck.

"Don't play me, honey. And don't joke anymore."

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" sara asked looking seriously at the blue eyeball. He could not find any answer from that flat face.

"No."

"That means it's true!"

Max is glued to his place, not expecting to get an unexpected confession.

"Seriously?"

Sara nodded. Finished putting a tie around her husband's neck, Sara did not immediately move away, instead she put her hand around Max's neck.

"Do you love me too?"

The question was like a dagger piercing deeply into his soul. He felt an indescribable pain, his mouth silenced by that taste.

"Max?"

Sara's move blew her daydream. The woman laughed until she held her stomach and let out tears.

"You really believe? God, you were even fooled by my bad acting. Especially for people who are used to it and good at acting, I make sure you're done."

"What's your max, Sara?"

"Nothing."

The woman preceded him, got out of this walk closet after putting up her tie.

"Darling, don't play me again! Let's say what you mean!"

Max followed Sara who was sitting at her dresser while combing her rainbow hair. "Truly blinding the eyes," he murmured.

"Darling? Were you kidding me?"

Sara looked at Max from the mirror, smiling mockingly. "You think I'll love you so easily? Huh, it's not that easy as Ferguso!"

"What?! Fergusus?!"

"Yes! You look like him!"

Snarling in frustration, Max picked up the comb Sara was wearing and combed her own hair.

"Max, give me my comb back!"

"Find the others!"

"Nothing else!"

"Then, let's just say you're talking to Marimar's anjying. I'm combing, can't hear your screams!"

The woman sighed in annoyance, Max who like this sometimes made her want to hit her head with a hammer. Seeing what's inside the man's head is sometimes good, sometimes upsetting and sometimes confusing.

"Max!"

There's no answer.

"Are you sulking? This should be my part to sulk and you're watching me."

Still quiet. Max continued to comb his hair even though it was very neat.

"Max? Your hair's been drizzled, are you planning on luring another woman with your highway hair?"

The man continued to remain silent until a mocking smile fell on his lips making Sara shudder in horror.

"W-what does that weird smile mean?"

"You're jealous if I'm approached by another woman? You don't like it?"

Diverting the conversation, Sara snatches the comb out of Max's hands. "Stop talking! Get off the new breakfast you're taking me there."

"Say you're jealous when I do."

"Ck, if it's like that, what are you gonna do?"

Max's scolding sucks for him. Therefore, he finished his activities and pulled Max's hand down.

"If you can't accept what others say with grace, don't ask what's in her heart. That makes you tight, doesn't it? And I don't like quiet men."

"Shut? Me?"

"Yes, maybe it's better that you're actually called Ferguso."

Max is putting on his hair in frustration. Sara often mentioned Marimar's anjying name.

"What's so special about the animal?" he murmured while following his wife's steps.

"Darling, wait for me!"

***

The phone ring surprised Max who was busy flirting with his wife.

"Alex?" mumbling Max.

He frowned deeply, why did the man call him when he clearly said that he was not going to the office.

"What's wrong?" ask her to the point after sliding the green icon on her phone screen.

"...."

"I'll be there soon."

Sara immediately understood that something emergency was happening from the dark look on Max's face. The fluttering of the man's teeth sounded creepy to him.

"Go, I know you're busy. I can do it on my own without you being with me."

Max stared at his eyes intensely, there was doubt plastered there. "You sure?"

"Hm, nothing is difficult. Just need to sit down and they finish."

Sara shakes. "No, she's definitely dating right now. That crazy girl will definitely refuse even before I ask."

"What about the others?"

"I'm fine, honey. Go!"

"really? Since you called me 'honey', I let you go today. Remember, don't run away! You know I can find you even if you're at the bottom of the crust."

Sara smiles. In his heart he was very enthusiastic. Various plans have been prepared for fun after completing his affairs there.

"Thank you, you trust me."

"You intend to escape?"

Sara checkmate. But trying to calm down. "You can definitely find me, Max, without the help of a tracking device even because I'm your wife."

The man nodded. "Don't break your promise! Or you'll meet your death after I find it!"

"Gosh, you're really terrible. Relax, I'm not that stupid to run away from you. Anyway, where else am I going? I don't have money and a house to shelter."

"Yes, you should know that I'm a comfortable home for you."

After arriving at the hairdresser's place and Deborah change the color of their hair, Max immediately announced.

"You don't want to kiss me?" Sara Goda.

Max chuckles. "You're very initiative and weird today. Is there something you want?"

"There's nothing wrong with a wife kissing her husband first, right? If you don't want to, go and don't come back" Sara said, irritated and pursed her lips.

When Sara opens the car door, Max blocks her hand. Pull her closer and have the kiss Max wants.

"Go, I could eat you if you don't get out of here soon."

Sara chuckles, she immediately gets out of the car after Max kisses her forehead long ago.

"Care carefully, my dear."

"Don't tease me, Sara!"

After the death of the pearl-black car from before her, Sara felt her heart break in disappointment.

He knew the answer would be like that and foolishly, he still ventured to convey his feelings. Even though Max had a sweet mouth on him, it was still tucked in poison in between.

Refraining from crying out in the open, Sara calmed her heart and tried hard.

"You coral, Sara! Even though the waves are still standing, that's you! Don't be affected by anything that hurts!"

After putting a smile on his lips, he went inside and was immediately greeted by the workers there.

"Good morning, please put my hair back to its original color."

The person who greeted him held his hand. "What's the matter, Senorita?"

"I'm sorry, my husband doesn't like this color" he said.

"It's okay, Senora. I'll operate on him for your husband."

Sara smiles. "Graci."

"I'm Leoni, Senora."

"I'm Sara."

Long talking to Leoni while smearing her hair with various drugs, Sara only finds out that Leoni is not entirely what she sees.

"Leoni? You ...."

"Hahaha, are you surprised, Sara? I'm just as surprised as you are after I found out that my face is pretty when it comes to makeup."

It was not suspected that Leoni had reincarnated into such a thing. "Sorry, I don't know. You're really pretty like any woman."

The arrival of a man from inside the room also made Sara feel very familiar with Leoni's face. He compared the faces of both.

"Who is he, Leoni?"

"Buck man, don't fall in love with him. She's a female player."

"I'm married."

The man they were talking about approached.

"You Sara?" guess what surprised Sara.

"You know me?"

"I'm Kenneth Hosea. From your reaction, you must have forgotten me."

Sara was silent for a long time considering whether she had any acquaintances named Kenneth before. But, the longer he tried to remember it, still did not find the name.

"The wolf pack."

"You?!"

Sara jumped from her seat until Leoni shouted in surprise.

"Sorry, Leoni. Kenneth's? That time you said your name was Ken, not Kenneth. I'm sorry and thank you for saving me that day."

"You know each other?"

"Old friend missing" joked Kenneth, because in fact he had searched for Sara's whereabouts after that day but found nothing.

"I owe him my life, Leoni."

"I understand. But, don't move yet, I haven't finished the last rinse."

"What's your relationship with Kenneth, Leoni?"

"Only a jerk hitchhiking in my house."

Kenneth snorted, not liking the introduction of his brother. "I'm his sister."

"You're lucky to have a sister, Leoni. Handsome men like Kenneth are rarely found here. I wanted to have a sister but my mama never gave birth again" Sara said, looking back on the past.

When Leoni's mouth was about to speak again, Kennteh quickly silenced her. "How about we eat a little, Sara? To celebrate our meeting after all this time."

Sara nodded. "Can."
