Two Husbands/New Life

The Part 112

"Mas, want lunch? I'll get it ready!" Said Anin towards the kitchen to prepare lunch for the two.

Zian stared fixated on accidentally feeling the palm of his wife's hand that was getting rough probably because his wife was doing menial work such as cooking, washing clothes or washing dishes. Zian felt a sense of guilt. Even every night Zian chooses to sleep on the sofa avoiding things he does not want to do more on his wife.

After all he is a normal guy who has an air**** as well. He didn't take anything of value from his wife when he didn't love her completely. But that night, after that night Zian felt even more guilty as his wife cried alone in her backyard.

The flashback

Anin sat in the back yard seat of the house staring up at the sky that looked bright that night. His blank gaze daydreamed glaring far away there.

"It will surely be happy if we can freely go without anything that binds us." Anin's grunts that night were involuntarily dripping tears.

"Until when will it be like this, Lord. When should I be patient? Give me strength, Lord. Make my husband's heart moved to accept me even though I haven't been able to love him. Forgive this heart that has not been able to change the heart of God. Hiks..hiks..." Anin covered her face with both her hands bowing her head while unwillingly covering her crying voice with both her hands.

That day Zian intends to accept Anin as his wife and be patient to turn his heart into his own. But he felt it would not be that easy to move his wife's heart. Zian left the backyard and chose to leave the house and will be home at the same time. Late at night when everyone was asleep.

Flashback off

***

And that night at dinner, everyone was gathered. Anin served her husband as he should. Maria stared at the two still equally indifferent and cold. It seems like his efforts this afternoon were unsuccessful.

"Mother.." Zian said after dinner.

Everyone looked at Zian, curious about what he wanted to say.

"Yes?" Mary looked at her son.

"We've agreed to return to the city." Zian's words made Anin suddenly look at Zian.

Maria and Rima were shocked to hear Zian's statement.

"What do you mean Zian?" Maria asked to confirm her hearing.

"Me and Anin are going back to my apartment in town. Anin needs to continue her studies that were stopped because of our marriage." Zian is firm.

Maria instead looked at Anin curiously wanting to see Anin's reaction which turned out to be equally surprised by Zian's words. Maria could have guessed that Zian had made the decision without talking to his wife Anin now.

"Mas, are you sure you're going back to town?" Rima asked who interrupted the conversation.

Anin turned to look at Rima and turned to look at Zian back and then chose to focus on dinner alone.

Just a surprise for not knowing about this.

"What do you think Anin?" Rima asked looking at Anin who had been silent since.

Anin looked up at Rima feeling her name called. Anin turned to look at Zian who was not looking at him. Anin looked back at Rima and turned to look at Maria who was both looking at her.

"Anin follow what Zian said, Mom." Anin's reply made Zian stare at Anin who looked resigned.

"When did you start moving Ando?" Maria looked back at Zian.

Zian looked at his mother with a doubtful look.

"Tomorrow morning ma." Zian's short reply left Maria speechless.

Didn't think that soon his son would move after his leave for a few days.

"Cock suddenly?" Maria asked again, Rima was silent, she also wanted to ask the same thing but was undone because she was nobody now.

"Not suddenly ma'am, but I've been thinking a few days ago." Lying, Zian's mind smiled bitterly if his words this time were a lie.

Upon seeing his crying wife who might be tormented while with him now, Zian had just decided to return to the city. On the grounds of his work and Anin's college that should continue. But that's not what made Zian choose to move. He loved his wife so much that he could not bear to see her suffer.

His wife is still young and his future is long. Even his college has not been around because of the problems that have occurred lately. His wife refrained from going to college anymore because she wanted to serve him even though there was no feeling for him. Zian must be aware of that. He was a responsible husband despite telling his wife not to consider their marriage to be real.

But it was all a lie, for the sake of his wife to leave her house and seek her happiness that was not there for her. Zian knows his wife's love is still in the former future husband who failed to come on the day of his marriage which until finally replaced by him.

Thunder pensive himself in his front yard. Alea came to deliver her cooperation report file even though it was just an excuse to get closer to Thunder. It was a weekend, so everyone was off.

"So since morning he's just been quiet in the same place." Raka said after researching the file Alea brought.

The two were sitting on a terrace overlooking the front garden of the mansion where Thunder was daydreaming alone.

"Until when will he be like that?" Alea smiled smirkingly at the purity of Thunder.

"Come away!" Both of them were silent on their own minds.
