The Perfect Wife

Chapters 12. Get around

The sun is shining bright again. After several days of failing to get around the house due to the rain outside, this afternoon Lara had the chance to explore the Moritz family mansion. The first place Lara visited was the swimming pool. 

There Lara can see a lot of sofas to relax. Large swimming pool with blue water. There is a high wall that borders the pond with the orchard. If seen from above can be clearly seen fruit garden. However, if standing near the pool only visible solid white walls.

Lara is eager to swim in the luxurious swimming pool. 

When else can take a bath while enjoying the beauty of the luxurious house of her husband's family. Unfortunately, Lara has not been excited lately. Alex's nature is getting colder and colder. Whatever he did was always wrong in Alex's eyes. The way he dresses and eats is also wrong. For the sake of making Alex no longer angry sometimes Lara just spend one portion of food. Not to add. What's up to finishing all the food at the table like yesterday. Although all of his efforts were still viewed one eye by Alex.

Hana is always beside Lara to accompany Lara around. Actually, he also felt lazy to accompany Lara. But how else. This was one of the things he could do to gain Lara's trust.

"Miss, are you sick?" Lara shook her head slowly before sitting on one of the sofas that were there. He looked towards the pool with his hands propping up his chin.

"You've been looking moody since this morning, miss. Not as usual" Hana said again.

"Hana, am I so ugly? Why is everyone insulting me because I'm fat? What fat a sin? Does fat make everybody shit?" asked Lara with a sad face.

"Miss, why are you talking like that? You are a great woman. I'm jealous of you sometimes."

"Dad? You envy me?" Lara pointed at her own face with a face of disbelief.

"Yes, Miss. When everyone insults you. You still look tough. If I were you, I wouldn't dare look at the faces of those who once insulted me" Hana said. "What's up against them!" He deliberately said that sentence so that Lara no longer dared to go out of the room. Being a sad loner.

"I thought I was a good woman. I never want to make anyone else do anything again until offended. But, don't know why, everyone hates to see me."

"Miss, you never thought about dieting?"

"Diets?"

"Yes, Miss. If you're skinny maybe everyone won't insult you anymore."

Lara laughed a little. That confused Hana. "Hana, when I'm thin, everyone likes to insult me. Since childhood I have always been bullied. Which he said was sick, undernourished. My life is wrong, Hana." Lara covered her face. "The burden of my life has been very heavy since I was in Elementary School. My skin was black and I was ugly. I was determined to lock myself in my room so that my skin could be white. My mom said I was born white. My skin is black because I often play in the hot sun. It made me a hobby of eating. I'm getting fat. My weight goes up every month. I didn't even realize my body was fat. Until in the end all my clothes no longer fit."

"The story that disturbs. Skinny in humiliation fat in caci. It seems that the rice has indeed been destined to be unhappy from childhood to adulthood," muttered Hana in the heart.

"Hana, if it's sad and stressful, there's nothing else I can do but eat. By eating I can feel much better."

"I'm having trouble walking now Hana. How can I exercise? There are no guarantees at this time. Not necessarily Brother Alex would accept me if I'm skinny."

"You want to maintain your weight, miss? Isn't that also not very good for health?"

"I want to change Hannah. But not when Alex's sister hates me like now. If she loves me when my body is beautiful, it's the same as if she loves me because of physicality. If one day I get into an accident and my face gets damaged, don't we know how my nappies will be after that?

Of course Alex's sister will dump me because she loves me physically. I'd change if Alex's sister loved me in the way she is now. Because I consider it a sincere love from him. 

Whatever my situation in the future, Brother Alex's love will not fade. Women go through many changes in their lives. From beginning to contain. His body will be fat, right? Give birth. Not to mention breastfeeding which ultimately makes our assets look less attractive. To have a man who truly loves us is in the present moment."

Hana mute. Everything Lara said was true. But, he works for Fiona. He can't take Lara's side. Whatever Lara says right or wrong still does not shake Hana's loyalty to Fiona.

"Miss, you don't want to see the orchard in the back garden? There we can eat fruit. It just so happens that now our oranges are again bearing fruit, Miss."

"really? Why didn't you say that from earlier. Let's go over there." Lara got off the couch. When she was about to step up, Lara suddenly saw Mister and Ny. Moritz walked to where he was. Lara and Hana looked at each other before carving out a friendly smile.

"Good day, Pa. Ma."

"Siang is also Lara. What are you doing here?" ask Mr. Moritz.

"Just go for a walk Pa" Lara replied with a beautiful smile. She hoped her mother-in-law would smile too. But, since the first time I saw Lara, it was just Ny. Moritz looks weird.

Mr. Moritz nodded. "Lara, there's something important that Papa wants to say. For a few weeks, I had to go abroad on business. I hope, after my mom and dad come home. Your relationship with Alex can improve. Never give up on getting Alex's heart. Papa is sure you can be happy one day" said Mr Moritz expectantly.

"Lara will fight to melt Alex's heart, Pa." Hearing Lara's answer made Ms. Moritz smiled contemptuously. But she did not want to say a word because she did not want to make a fuss with her husband.

"Papa go first." Mr. Moritz patted Lara on the shoulder. 

"Be careful, Pa. Take care of your health."

The two of them left after saying goodbye to Lara. Hana smiled happily at the news. Is can't wait to tell Fiona this good news.

"It seems like a good time for Miss Fiona to come to this house and stay over. Lara ... prepare for heartache. Because soon you'll realize who you really are. How inappropriate you are to be with Mr. Alex! Only Miss Fiona deserves Mr. Alex," Hana murmured inwardly.
