Tonight el came home a little late his work piled up in the office, after the car on the edge stopped he rushed down from his car.
"Honey, I'm home!" he called karina.
"The lady is in Mr.'s room" said berto.
"He's not out?"
"As usual the mistress is only outside when you have breakfast and after that she will hang the zoe in the backyard for a while, after which the mistress will only come out for food" replied berto.
Eldric sighed, after giving birth karina did change a little. He's more loner.
"Has karina eaten?" Eldric stepped quickly towards his room.
"Already sir, the lady is eating salad again."
"What a vegetable salad again!" Eldric paused his steps and turned to look at the tailed berto beside him.
Berto nodded.
"In addition, did he eat anything?"
"Apples and milk only" berto replied.
"Good God what was he thinking? how can it be full just by eating goat food like that." Eldric nipped his temple, he began to be confused by the attitude of karina.
Eldric continued his steps into the room, violently opening the door of his room. He swung his steps listening to the bed after closing the door.
"Jeez honey, what happened to you exactly?" ask Karina who is sleeping. Both eyes are swollen, can be sure he cried before closing his eyes, even his cheeks are still alkaline when el touched it.
Karina slept with zoe in bed. The tiny baby looks peacefully sleeping on his mother's side.
Eldric kissed his wife's forehead before moving away. He immediately removed all the clothes attached to his body to start the bathing ritual. After spending a long time in the bathroom, he also ended the cleaning event.
"When are you coming home?" asked Karina with her raspy voice typical of people waking up.
El, who had just come out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her waist, swung her steps towards Karina who was already sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Just now" replied el, then he kissed his wife with his wet lips.
"Why didn't you wake me?" karina asked, she looked at el with her eyes swollen from crying.
"You look tired Hon, I can't bear to wake you up."
"You can't bear it, or you think I'm useless" said Karina. Karina's eyes are dewy again.
"Dear, it's not like that. Never have such foolish thoughts."
"So I'm stupid, you should be
don't marry a stupid woman like me!"
Somehow Karina felt angry, not at el, but at herself. She felt she could not be a good wife, she was troubled to take care of zoe alone until she did not take care of el as before. Even though he insisted on doing it. However, more often he does not do it because of the zoe that can not stay.
"Honey, that's not what I meant. Try to calm down, yes" persuade el gently.
"Calm down, you tell me to calm down. What time did you come home? do you think I haven't been waiting for you all day? are you looking for another woman to satisfy your desires because I can't do it?!"
"Karina what are you thinking!" El clenched his hand, he felt unacceptable because karina accused him like that.
It was not without reason that Karina said that, since this afternoon she contacted the eldric but could not. She kept waiting for her husband's return by sitting on the floor and opening the window curtain of her room so she could see the car coming. The night grew late with no news from her husband, Karina in a big fear.
After bathing and putting zoe to sleep Iya continued to smear her naked in front of the glass. Karina's changed, her body's not what it used to be, stretch marks
in the abdomen and groin, the stitches that were still clearly visible were slightly sagging, actually only a little but it was enough to make Karina feel insecure.
Karina is not a good woman, she cannot look after her child even while still in the womb. The guilt was still lodged in his heart. However he closed it when alone like this all the flavors just came to the surface.
He always blames himself. How can karina smile while zack is cold down there.
Guilt seems to hold him accountable. Dragging her to feel sadness, a sense of disappointment at her attitude that was fine despite losing one of her babies.
El stared intently at his wife, his tired state made him easily ignited emotions. However, el still tried to hold it.
"Then why don't you pick up your phone? you must be with another woman" he accused el.
El was silent for a moment.
"You called me?"
"Yes," Karina replied then threw her face to the side, severing her gaze at the elder.
"When?" ask el in a softer tone.
"No need to ask, just check your phone!" answer karina with a ketus.
Karina got out of her bed, she stepped into the bathroom. El immediately saw his phone. He squeezed the flat object firmly and almost destroyed it.
The unanswered call of karina was over twenty times, thirty-five unread messages and voice notes. El deliberately set his phone in silent mode so as not to interfere with his work, his intention to finish the job early and quickly go home instead backfired for himself.
"S**t, I'm the stupid one. You stupid Eldric hugo, you're the dumbest man on the face of the earth," el berate himself.
It was fitting that his wife was sulking and angry. Karina who had just finished washing her face from the bathroom, ignored the el who was walking towards her.
"Honey I'm sorry, I was wrong."
El hugged his wife from behind. Karina just kept quiet, not saying a word.
"Honey say something, I beg you."
"I was wrong, maybe I was too possessive" Karina said.
His face looks so sad. El feels so guilty for karina, he is devoted to her stupidity.
"My dear, why don't you call joe or the office number?" ask el.
"I forgot," answered Karina honestly.
At that time he only thought about el, he forgot if there were many other numbers he could call. El frowned, he felt strange with karina's attitude.
"Why can you forget? you usually call joe?"
"I don't know, just don't think" he said.
"Are you hungry Hon? I heard from Berto. You only eat vegetable and fruit salads all day. How about we eat something nice tonight, like a roast chicken. You want?" el asked gently while gently tucking his wife's shoulder.
"Not just you!" karina.
Actually he was hungry too but Karina's insecure feeling made him hold back his hunger.
"But Honey, I want you to accompany me to eat, it will be more enjoyable to enjoy food with you."
"I said no yes no!"
Karina roughly removed el's hand from her waist. Karina stepped wide then laid her body beside the sleeping zoe.
Eldric could only sigh, Karina indeed changed a little he became more sensitive, irritable even for small things.
