WIFE INSTINCT

PART 17'S

News of Richard and Tasya's affair has begun to spread. Like rotten fruit, hidden however still smelled.

Emma rarely leaves the house. Only occasionally does it come out if there is an important need. Not like before, now if she came out she was always greeted with glances and a sinister smile from her neighbors who once reminded her of her husband's affair.

" They must have laughed at me, they must have thought I was stupid to have defended my husband and covered his disgrace, I had to be patient and strong through all this, I had to stick to my principles, I didn't want to be influenced, I didn't want to be affected, let them say whatever they want I don't care but one thing is for sure I won't let them influence me, however Richard is still my husband, if he's humiliated I'm also ashamed. It doesn't take everyone to know. I can still face and solve this problem ."

Inner Emma.

****

Emma and Richard's lives are going as they always have. Still without joking and laughter. Communication is rare. Several times Richard tried to joke but Emma did not respond to him. It's like numbness. If previously Richard who was indifferent, indifferent, silent and rarely smiles now on the contrary Emma who became quiet, rarely smile and act cold.

Emma realized something had changed from her husband. Her husband often invites her to talk even though Emma does not respond. Emma preferred silence. Traumatized by lies. He did not want to believe quickly. Never out of memory, always ringing in her throat all her husband's words were very painful.

"I want us to separate, I'm tired and tired of living with you "

This phrase always bothered him.

Until one night when she was getting ready for bed her husband came and sat down beside her.

Richard : Mah..

Emma: Why?

Emma: What's wrong? Justsaytheword.

Richard: Mah, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I've gone too far down the wrong path, I realize I'm very conscious now, I have hurt you and our children. Please give me a chance, I want to fix everything. I don't want to be separated from you, Mah.

Emma: The opportunity and the trust I have given you is the last so it is no more. I'm going to bed now.

Unconcerned by the tears running down her husband's cheeks Emma took his blanket, lay down, closed her eyes and enveloped her body. Emma looked indifferent but deep in her heart she was crying. Emma could not bear to see her husband cry, but she had to not care. She loved her husband very much, wanting him to immediately give another chance to her husband as hard as he held her. Her heart was indeed weak, her great love for her husband made her easy to pity, and forgiving, but not this time. Emma put aside all her feelings, she does not want to make a decision too soon.He does not want to be disappointed again, does not want to be lied to again.

Her husband did not get out of his bed. Emma fought her heart that wanted to turn around and see her husband. He continued his sleep until morning.

*******

Emma woke up late this morning. When she came out of the room she saw her husband feeding his two children. Emma smelled the smell of bath soap, she knew her husband had washed the children and made them fried rice. She felt a sense of happiness in her heart but she quickly brushed off the sudden excitement.

" morning mah, let's have breakfast, I've prepared fried rice and egg omelet for you "

Emma did not answer, she only seriously watched her two children who were eating.

" i'm sorry dear mama, mama didn't mean to ignore you mama was just a lot of thoughts, mama loves you very much. Mama promised to stay strong for you guys, mama knows your papa loves you too much but mama was already disappointed with him, Let mama calm your heart.."
