Your Officemate's

31. It's Not A Love

Pissed off? Absolutely sure!

Of jealousy? Call it that...

Erika doesn't want to defend herself by saying she's not jealous. In reality, he was really upset with Clara. Very upset.

Starting from the meeting at Evan's funeral, and continuing to this day. The accusations of jealousy were constantly leveled at him.

Everyone always asks if Erika is jealous. Have they ever asked once back? "Hey Clara, what have you done? Until a wife gets jealous of you?"

This is not fair to Erika.

Have you ever heard the phrase that the morning annoyance will be followed by the next annoyance? And, Erika's subsequent vexation was directed at her husband, Hans.

"Ck!" Erika clucked. He saw the phone clingy as if the phone had made a big mistake on him.

Hans, whom he contacted, did not answer his call. How to answer? The phone is not active.

Though Erika was impatient to immediately pour out her heart to Hans. The message sent has not changed since, still tick one.

Trying to forget the story of Vania, Erika finally decided to leave all the work to Kirana. And, Erika will wait for Hans by spending time with her children.

Waiting is not good. Time will feel so slow. Many times his eyes glanced at the wall clock, and almost every minute he looked at his phone.

Actually, Erika could have contacted one of the employees at the office. However, Erika did not want to embarrass Hans. Where there is a wife looking for the whereabouts of the husband of her employees.

The only thing that can be done is to wait, with a messy mood. His body is with children, but not with his mind and soul.

"Why is the phone off?"

"What is he doing?"

"Did he not realize his phone was dead?"

The questions kept turning in Erika's head.

TIN!!

"Lho's? Is Hans home?"

Erika soars happy. Carrying Aaron, and his feet immediately swung quickly to welcome the husband.

"Daddy, do you want to listen to my rehearsal tape today?" Abbey excitedly welcomes Hans home, ahead of Erika. He wanted to show off his latest drumming skills. Behind Abby, a very quiet Manda follows her sister.

Aaroon was no less happy, he jumped - jumped in Erika's arms. As if to know his Daddy's coming. Erika sighed, it seemed that her confiding session would be delayed this time around. For the sake of the kids, Mommy has to give up.

Sretta!!

"Eh?"

Hans walked quickly, went inside the house. Didn't answer Abbey's question, no greeting, let alone looking at them. Even his favorite Aaron was ignored. Confused by his Daddy's attitude, Abbey and Manda looked at each other while shrugging.

Erika who recovered faster from the astonishment, immediately followed Hans into the house.

"Mom, get me some food!" hans orders that turned out to have been sitting at the table eating. Not a single bit of his eyes looked at Erika. Hans was really focused on his phone.

Erika puts Aaron in a baby chair, and asks her sisters to keep an eye on him. Erika's hand prepared the food, but her eyes glanced at Hans many times. Hans is not usually busy at the dinner table.

The food was ready in front of Hans, but he didn't even put his phone down. Erika looked at him questioningly. Even when the children's food was running out, Hans still hadn't touched the food.

"Daddy, he said no gadgets in the dining room." rebuked Abbey first, just before Erika reprimanded Hans.

"Oh.., this is a job. Urgent." replied Hans accordingly.

His right hand immediately scoops food, while his left hand holds his phone. He ignored the questionable gazes of his son and wife. Hans swallowed his food very quickly.

"Done up! I'm in the room first."

It wasn't until five minutes, Hans had finished eating. He kissed Erika's forehead at a glance, Aaron's hair cut. Without waiting for anyone's reaction, Hans instantly disappeared from the dining room.

Erika touched her forehead, there was a sad tucked in the heart. Something is missing from that kiss. Right, there's no warm feeling like it's been - already. It feels just a routine or a formality or whatever the name.

The children had entered their own rooms and Aaron was asleep in his box.

After her nightly skincare routine, Erika crept up onto the bed. Kissing Hans gently, his head crept into Hans' chest in hopes of seeing a little of what Hans was working on with his phone.

Realizing Erika was approaching, Hans immediately put his phone on the nightstand. He fell on the nape of Erika, and devoured her lips greedily. While the other hand had infiltrated into the thin satin dress worn by Erika. Quickly, Hans' hand stripped Erika's clothes off. It felt like Hans wanted to get to the main course immediately. Everything was done in a hurry.

Erika felt tight and could not breathe. There's no softness and warmth there. Not the love that feels, but just a feeling that is so passionate, want to get to the end of the event immediately.

"It's like a lu-st. Not love." muttered Erika's heart.

Erika's eyes squinted towards the light coming from the side where Hans was lying, with her back.

"Is that cell phone light?"

Erika had fallen asleep after the battle with her husband. I don't know what caused him to wake up. Clearly, Erika was awake at the moment.

"Sister Hans, don't sleep?' with a hoarse voice Erika asked.

"Well, you haven't slept?" the one who asked asked back.

"I woke up because there was a light burning from your place" Erika said straightforwardly.

"Let's sleep!" Hans turned off his phone and pulled Erika into his arms.

Normally, sleeping in Hans' arms was Erika's favorite position. It feels so safe and comfortable. In addition, usually the scent of Hans' body always. managed to calm him down. However, something is different today. Erika felt distant, even though she was in Hans' arms.

Erika forced herself to keep her eyes closed again, while quietly tucking in a prayer for her husband.

Sad that, when you feel alien to your loved ones, your soulmate. There's a sense of loss, but I don't know what's missing. (Erican)
