Zeline And King
Crumpled
Zeline got out of bed, picked up the clothes that had been taken off just before making love, then put them back on.
His throat felt dry, he went to the kitchen to find a glass of water and a little fruit to block his hunger until morning.
"Shm... My hips are so sore, King was so excited!" he walked towards the kitchen.
After sipping a glass of mineral water and biting one apple, he returned to the room.
There was a voice notification message coming in from King's phone, somehow he felt curious. Just a fad at first, she also took the phone that her husband kept on the bedside nightstand.
Visible notification of incoming messages from Jenifer.
[Thanks ya King, already wanted to be horrified curha.] that's all she could read from her husband's phone screen, because King's phone was locked.
The deg!
Zeline's heart began to increase the speed of the rhythm, he also brought the phone closer with King's thumb to stick.
Clik.
The phone was open, the first time he was looking for was an instant messaging application that he had read and it turned out to be true, there was the name Jenifer there.
He could see the message from Jenifer from 6 days ago.
Jenifer :
[Why are you avoiding? I just want to talk, call me]
[Darling, I'm fine if you marry Zeline but don't leave me, please]
[King please.... Let me be your mistress]
[King!!! Pick up my phone, we need to talk!!]
[Heh!!! Goddamn bum!!! Don't make my sacrifice go to waste for 10 years!!]
[OKAY... You'll regret King, just look! You will never be happy with Zeline!!]
And tonight :
[Thanks to King, I wanted to be horrified! Didn't expect to see you today at NightClub, I'm so happy! Good night, sleep tight]
Degs.. Degs..Degs..
Now that Zeline's heart has been running a marathon, he was not aware sitting on the floor while sobbing while holding his chest.
His heart was crumpled dimly, it hurt like it was being hit with millions of knives.
Zeline stood up, not wanting to wake her husband. He looked for his cell phone and then went out of the room to contact someone.
Foetish... Foetish... Tuout...
"Good Night Mrs Zeline." Elgi's voice sounded raucous as if she had just woken up from a deep sleep.
"Ka Elgi, hiks... Hix... " Zeline sobbed, unable to hold back her tears.
If in the past when Kevlar betrayed her she preferred to go and run from the pain she felt, now she tried to think mature and face it all because of the prejudice that happened to her husband.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" elgi's voice now sounded worried.
"So from the office, King's coming home at what time?" asked Zeline with a trembling voice
"So the Young Master accompanied Mr. Jacob, a client from Germany went to NightClub. Mr. Jacob is a single man so take Young Master there, I go home first so do not know Young Master until what time is there, forgive me Madam, is Young Master not home yet?" elgi
"King's gone home but.." Zeline's sentence was held back, she sobbed again.
"But what is Madam?" Elgi now put pressure on his tone, he was afraid something would happen to his master.
"I sent Jenifer a message from King ya.." then Zeline was seen messing with her husband's phone, she forwarded a message to Elgi jenifer then screenshot the message and send it to her own number.
She was a little surprised when she saw her instant message profile photo on King called 'My Lovely Wife'. But not then he forgot the pain that King had incited.
"Maybe Young Master accidentally met Jenifer there" Elgi said floatingly, he cannot think clearly between his drowsiness or he has not had experience of something like this so he does not know what to respond to.
"Oh that's it.." said Zeline flatly, very dissatisfied with Elgi's answer.
"Tomorrow morning I will ask nightclub cctv to see what really happened" Elgi tried to be on his Madam's side even though he had made plans to tell King in advance.
"Can you?"
"I'll try, Madam!" answer's straightforward.
"alright... Thanks Ka Elgi, I'm looking forward to the news!" Zeline ended the phone call.
He hurriedly deleted the message he had just sent from King's phone to Elgi and on his number.
Wiping tears and then he stood up, he had entered the guest room because he was upset with King but the intention to sleep in the room he paled, he re-entered his room.
Putting her husband's phone as before then lay beside King who was still asleep with a blanket covering his innocent body.
*****
After the breakfast was finished, Zeline rushed to take a shower and put on her best clothes. Today is the first day she became an actress signed for 2 years by Papi Zach's TV station.
Not because of nepotism, but it has become the decision of the TV station's CEO who chose Zeline to be his artist and has nothing to do with Papi Zach.
This morning he will be a guest star on the morning talk show on the TV station.
"Where are you going today?" the question in a flat voice shocked Zeline as she exited the bathroom.
"Why is his expression still flat? Was I 'love' already malem? I should've been mad this morning for reading a message from Jenifer last night" Zeline's mind was upset
"I had a talk show on TV with Papi" she said, then kissed King on the cheek.
"Mandi gih, I have made breakfast" he added again while entering the walk in closet.
"You crying?" King half-screamed from the bathroom door making Zeline stop her steps right at the door of the walk in closet.
King could see both of his wife's eyes were swollen and there were a few eye bags there.
Zeline smiled strangely, then nodded slowly. "Udah I missed. "he said then turned around.
King scrunched his forehead then entered the bathroom.
A few minutes later, King, who was neat with three pieces of stellan while carrying a bag, approached Zeline who was having breakfast at the table.
"What's forget?" King asked when his butt was sitting on the dining table chair.
Zeline sighed,
"I read Jenifer's message, you met at the club with him?" the woman did not lose to the point either.
King scrunched his forehead, he immediately picked up his cellphone which he kept nailed to a suit.
Plays his thumb on his cell phone and before long his eyes are perfectly rounded.
"I.. It's not what you think, baby! King stammered, now his face began to pale deathly.
"Damn, why did I unblock Jenifer's number? That woman must have sent a message after I got home!" inner King growled
"If I were in your position, how would you feel?" zeline asked with a heavy voice holding back the cries.
"I... L'm... I'm sorry, baby! Yesterday I met Jenifer at Nightclub and it turned out, Jenifer was a model of an ad Jacob made for his hotel... Jacob asked Jeni to stay, and she did confide a little but not just to me to Jacob too!" king said with a deep look.
"Do you trust me?" King held both of Zeline's arms.
A few seconds Zeline was still staring at King's bead, and somehow she could see there was a little lie there. But maybe he misinterpreted and dismissed all those doubts.
Zeline forced her smile "I believe.." said the woman lying to her own heart.
Then the man pulled Zeline in his arms, and showered a kiss on the top of his wife's head.
"I'm anther, huh?" said the man after releasing his embrace.
"Ga... I'll be picked up by Joe and Anin... You go first"
King sighed with a bent face, like a child forbidden to play by his mother, making Zeline chuckle.
"Yes already.. Come on, I take the bag first." Zeline finally agreed to her husband's offer.
On the way to Papi Zach's TV station, the two fell silent without saying a word, only the roar of King's sports car exhaust accompanied their journey. Zeline still imagines the short message Jenifer sent to her husband.
On Anin's advice for two weeks she would take the contraceptive pill so she could still serve her husband. But why is it that when he tries to make King happy and be a good wife, the man opens his heart to Jenifer? Why didn't he just go home when Jenifer came? How important is Mr Jacob?
King felt guilty for what he did last night with Jenifer, he didn't lie that Jenifer was a model for Jacob's hotel ad, but the problem was that last night he had kissed the woman. Which normal man will not be inedible seduction Jenifer with a beautiful face and body goals that are not inferior to his wife.
He did not deny, King missed the woman he could manage at will, who was chasing and begging for him not the other way around he did to Zeline.
But now he regretted, if last night he could undo it. She should have made Jenifer stay away from her instead of being consumed by the woman's seduction.
The first important thing he had to do now was to block the woman's number. Do not let the silly incident last night repeated and most surprisingly, his wife who was the lion was not angry at all. Zeline just cried without waking her up, until her eyes looked swollen the next morning.
King could imagine, the woman was crying herself enjoying the heartache she incited when she saw the message from Jenifer, and the next morning she said that she had forgotten it. Now the guilty feeling increasingly became piercing the corner of his heart.
His wife simply handed him back, what if he was in his position. Perhaps he would have been angry at both of them and hit the man who was already with his wife on NightClub. It won't be that easy to forgive Zeline.
But what did Zeline do? The woman forgave him. Guilt has now spread like a virus in King's body cells.
The man pulled Zeline's hand and grasped it, then took it for her to kiss.
"Last night you changed your mind?" ask the man, with attention still focused on the steering.
"Nga... Just didn't think about using the contraceptive pill yesterday..," said Zeline, his gaze still staring out the window.
"So now you're taking pills?" ask King again.
"Yes... It's all right? Only until we're sure Azalea isn't pregnant" Zeline turned her eyes to look at King.
With a heavy heart and disappointment, King nodded his head.
