THE GRUDGE THAT BURNS

THE GRUDGE THAT BURNS
Wedding preparations



Brakes.


Suddenly the door of the house was opened violently by a man.Selena was very shocked, she already knew who the culprit.Who else if not her husband.


The man whose status was her husband approached her, then grabbed Selena's hair.


"Awww....what are you doing?"selena asked with a grimace of pain, as her hair was grabbed strongly by her husband


"You're still asking me what I'm doing.Based on a prostitute, you're cheating on me.Why are you doing that?"sniped the man


"Arghhhh, I never had an affair" Selena said with her right hand holding her stomach and her left hand holding her husband's hand in her hair.


"liks. How dare you lie to me.Are you tired of living huh?"asked the man by pulling his wife's hair firmly.Anger has made her blind, if the woman he was catching was pregnant with her child.


"I swear, I've never cheated.Who would heartily say I'm cheating.When I'm pregnant with your child." Selena said with tears that began to flow


"Then who was the young man who brought your groceries at that time.Didn't he be the father of the baby you bear? Means all this time I've been a fraud. You whore, if you come from the world of prostitutes, you're still a whore." she said out loud


Selena is very shocked by the words of her husband.She is aware if she comes from a world that is blissful.But, how could this man doubt the child he is carrying.The man can say if she is an ex-prostitute or anything.But,if her own husband doubted the child she was carrying.Really, Selena was very sick.


The man releases Selena by pushing, and she leaves from Selena's presence.The woman can only cry after her husband's departure.


She did not think, how could her husband find out if he met Marcelian.Dan find out his groceries brought by Marcelian.


Did Mr. Dedi tell her husband that Marcelian brought her groceries?


That's what Selena's mind right now, if it's true like that.Truly she must be careful of her personal driver.Just such a trivial thing, her husband is already very angry.


Remembering her own husband, Selena could only close her eyes.She was very hurt by the words of her husband earlier.


She was disappointed with the attitude of the husband, the man did not want to hear his explanation.And he could only resign.


Regret continues to be present in his heart, because he was too rushed to accept the man to be her husband.And reject the sincere love of a Marcelian.Today rice has become porridge, rice has become pure,she can not do anything else.And now she is pregnant.So maybe she will keep the baby in her womb.


She had bleeding twice, lucky baby in the womb is very strong and continues to survive.She is grateful, very grateful.May her child be born safely, and she can not wait for the moment.
