TRAPPED IN FORBIDDEN DESIRES

7. She Crying?

I washed my face and looked at my face in the mirror. I came to my mind after hearing my neighbor's quarrel. I became afraid that, as the old age of marriage, there would be a storm that came unexpectedly. But given Delano's always meek attitude, and made me a queen. It was impossible for us to fight like my next door neighbor. Especially to slam things.

I wiped my face with a clean towel. I intend to get some fresh air outside, while playing on the mobile phone on my porch.

Chequelek

Me and my male neighbor were out of the house at the same time. But something broke my heart. When I found out I was coming out with him, the man rushed to wipe away his tears.

She cried?

That one question bothers me enough. I saw the man hurrying with a black plastic, for him to put it in the garbage can. I can guess, again the fragments of his house that he threw away.

Without looking at me, he entered his house. Maybe he knows, if I already know a little about his household problems. I know for a fact that he's ashamed of me, especially the problem he's having about a man's self-esteem.

Not long after, my husband arrived. He threw a smile at me, I grabbed his office bag and then I kissed his hand.

"Bored no?" ask Delano.

"Not really. I also lack a way out hobby if I don't have a purpose." My answer.

"You cook?" delano asked while embracing my shoulder.

"Yes. But not as fancy as a restaurant." My answer.

"Whatever my wife cooks, it's gonna taste really good,"

Delano's praise pleased me, even though I knew it was just bullshit.

Srettttt

I can hear, the sound of the sword being pulled once through. I turned for a moment towards the origin of the sound, but found nothing there.

My husband came home from work, I served him with all my heart. Starting from preparing clean clothes after he took a shower, pouring food when he wanted to eat. And serve on the bed, if he asks. I think I have no shortcomings as a wife, other than unemployment.

I can't sleep tonight. As a newlywed, I really expected Delano to touch me more often. But already 1 hour ago he was already snoring finely. Scroll my bedroom wall clock, time has shown at 1 p.m.

I got out of bed, and went to the kitchen to get some water. After that I sat in the living room checking my social media.

Sayup-Sayup I heard the quarrel of my neighbor, making my mouth chuckle upset, because it was already this late they still disturb the peace of others.

"You why the hell? haven't I touched in two months? is it because I'm unemployed, so you're disgusted with your own husband? you don't love me anymore?" ask Dios.

I finally know, their main problem this time about the bed. I smiled miris. If next to the woman who does not want to serve, then at home my husband is less sensitive about my bed needs.

"That's you know. Anyway as long as you haven't got a job, don't expect to touch me." Answer Vika.

"Then what does it really mean to you right now? why do I feel like you don't think of me anymore?" ask Dios.

"It's up to you to think of it that way. Dios, after I think again we're no match anymore. We better split up" said Vika.

"Ti-No. Don't say that. I love you, I love you. Well, I won't force you to serve me anymore. But I beg you not to say separate words again" said Dios.

"Vica. When your heart aches to part with me, remember our times together. We are dating almost 5 years, and our marriage is also 5 years old. I accepted you for who you were, even though I was disappointed on our first night. I kept quiet, even though you insulted me because I was unemployed. It's all I do because I love you and love you" Dios said at length.

"That's why don't keep me emotional. Don't overextend, as long as you haven't been able to support me by birth. Because giving inwardly is not enough for me. Do you know what? soon I will be promoted back to manager of my company. Guess you can't take me to have such a feat?"

"alright. Okay. I'm not fussy anymore. Let's go to bed. You're working tomorrow, right? you're afraid of bad luck,"

"You still haven't heard from the cover letter you've distributed?" ask Vika.

"Yet. Are you patient, right? this is still a pandemic, reduction of employees is again intensively done. I promise I'll find another job later." Answer Dios.

"Promise in gedein" said Vika who immediately moved from her seat and moved into the room.

I don't hear that long discussion anymore. There was only silence that struck. Now I just know, behind the cold attitude of the man I often call om, it turns out he is a fragile man and holds a wound deeper than me.

Kriekkkk

I heard someone open the door and close it again. I peeked at the window curtain of my house. I saw my male neighbor sitting on the porch of his house leaning his elbow on his thigh. While his thumb and forefinger massaged his forehead.

And again the man was caught wet wiping his tears.

Shaaaaa

My blood fell from a height. I don't know why my heart felt so tame seeing her sadness, when she was so arrogant towards me.

I decided to go back to my room and lie down next to my husband. I looked at my husband's tired face. I am so grateful to have him. And I promise I will learn to accept his shortcomings.

"Emm...does your office not have job openings?" I asked Delano.

Uhukkkkk

Uhukkkk

Delano suddenly choked upon hearing my question. I immediately poured her a glass of water.

"You let me work, just don't apply in my office" Delano said.

"Why?" manya curious.

"It's not good working one office with your own wife. Let us grow up in a different office." Reply Delano.

"Not for me, but for our neighbors. Pity every day quarreling, it turns out the main problem is because her husband is unemployed" I said while chewing my food.

"You know where it came from? have you talked to them?" ask Delano.

"Yet. But I didn't overhear." My answer.

"Can't be spanked. Sin loh," said Delano.

"Not nagging, but accidentally hearing their roots." Reproved denying.

"Then don't interfere in their affairs" Delano said.

Now I know he doesn't like me helping a neighbor we don't know yet. He also forbade me from eavesdropping or caring anymore about the neighbor's quarrel. This time I didn't understand my husband's way of thinking, I thought he was like someone else right now.

To be continue...🤗🙏
