A Couple of Ex

A Couple of Ex
2


Stella awakens in the early morning when the sound of her youngest son's crying echoes, with eyes still heavy and poignant, Stella gets up and moves Kevin to the baby box, then approaches Andre's baby box, which is still in the middle of the night, in the possession of his handsome baby, then he returned to give Asinya to Andre his youngest son.


Well, Stella and Alex have a pair of twin boys, thus Alex's task of giving the family successor is done.


...****************...


At seven Stella woke up again, Alex's voice was clearly heard in the middle room.


After cleaning himself, he saw Andre standing at the end of his bed.After seeing the arrival of the mommy, the little baby chattered happily.


"How about we take a shower?" he said when he brought Andre his arms.


Andre seemed to understand the meaning of the word bath, he chatted happily.


Stella filled the bathtub with warm water, while waiting for enough water to soak, one by one off the clothes Andre, then carried the tiny baby into the bathtub.


Andre really enjoyed while soaking in the bathtub, it took extra effort if you want to bring the baby to stop his bathing activity.


As expected, Andre cried loudly when Stella took him out of the bathroom, the little baby even seemed to sulk when Stella put on some telon oil and clothes.


Finally after a while struggling with the fussiness that almost happened every day, Stella took Andre out of the room, where Alex was accompanying Kevin to play.


Alex was so fond of his two sons, every weekend he always spent accompanying the two sons of the crown to play, even Andre who was always fussy when bathing with mommy, and also the, it's the opposite if she's taking a shower with Alex.


Stella brings Andre to join Alex and Kevin.


Alex landed a kiss on Stella's cheek, as soon as his wife sat down next to him.


The mother of two children blushed embarrassed to get sweet treatment from the husband.


"Why didn't you wake me?" Ask Stella.


"It was Kevin who made me wake up with his crying voice,"


"Truely, I didn't seem to hear anything" Stella said.


"I see you're breastfeeding Andre, so I can't bear to wake you up," Alex stroked the back of his wife's hand, undeniable, since long ago until now, the man's attitude was always sweet towards Stella, that is what makes Stella so love her husband, even easily, Stella forgets her feelings for her former lover.


"Want breakfast? I'll get the fruit ready,"


"Yes, I'd like some juice,"


"All right, wait a minute,"


Stella heads to the kitchen, "Will the lady have breakfast now?" Ask bi Nela ART who has been building it for a year.


"No bi, just later, aunt breakfast first,"


"Good mistress,"


Stella started picking some fruit from the refrigerator, then washing it with running water.


Because Alex does not like juice mixed with sugar, so Stella destroys the fruit using a slow juicer, so that the resulting fruit liquid is really maximal with the original taste of the fruit without additional sweeteners.


Alex smiled at the contents of his glass, this time Stella gave him juice with three different colors in one glass, somehow Stella made the juice into 3 layers of different colors.


"Thank you mya dear," Alex said as she received her juice.


"Today I deliberately did not go to the office, want a holiday, only later in the afternoon there is an appointment with the Client,"


Stella nodded.


And Alex kept his promise, all day long he spent playing with his two crown sons, even Alex patiently made his two children fall asleep in his arms.


After the afternoon shower, the man was prepared, non-formal shirts and jeans became his choice, "Why wear non-formal clothes?"


"Because it's outside office hours, it feels more comfortable to wear clothes like this" Alex reasoned.


Ting


A notification of the message went into the man's phone, at a glance Stella read the name of the sender, Anindita...


Deg ...


Suddenly an unpleasant feeling burst out, he suddenly felt uneasy, and suspicion grew in his heart.


Even when Alex said goodbye, then kissed his forehead, he felt unwilling to leave the house, but did not dare to say.


During the two years of their marriage, Stella was comfortable sharing her story with Alex, but instead Alex was very secretive, rarely telling her about herself, what she felt or what she wanted.


Almost midnight, when Alex returned home, with a disheveled face, and a random appearance, did not smell the alcohol as the day before, but Stella could guess that the man was in deep trouble.


Alex puts his cell phone, watch and car keys on the walk in closet, then crawls up to the bed without changing his clothes.


Alex's attitude makes Stella more agitated, his premonition this time saying Alex is not okay.


Stella, who was just purportedly sleeping, waited a while for Alex's breathing sounds to rise and fall regularly.


After feeling safe, Stella also rose to walk in closet, whether lucky or coincidentally, her husband's phone is still in open condition.


With a thumping feeling, Stella opened the messaging application on Alex's phone, exactly what she expected, Anindita's name was in the first line of chat, Both of Stella's palms vibrated violently, Stella's palms vibrated violently, but he dared to open the message.


I have arrived - Anindita-Angita


Wait baby, I'll be here in 20 minutes - Alex-Alex


Now not only did Stella's hands tremble violently, but her entire body suddenly languished on the floor, her tears began to race down from her eyelids, she said, the pain of his heart really hurt like a stab with thousands of needles, the love that he had been flush turned out to not get a reply.


For two years of marriage, not once did Stella and Alex say love, the love that Stella had, only she kept to herself, because Stella thinks Alex has the same feeling, considering how the man has always been sweet toward her.


Stella is still sitting in the corner of Walk in closet.


With great determination and courage, Stella continued to read her husband's chat with the woman named Anindita, the more read Stella's heart was broken, every word of love and affection she read, the more she read, making the fragments of his heart feel turned into fragments until it ended up into dust.


Seeing the history of the couple Chat, then Stella realized that the two had been in touch long before Alex married Stella.


Apparently that girl who had been loved by her husband, the girl was also the reason Alex often jumped out of the fence dormitory.


Heartache, anger, sadness, disappointment, that is what Stella now feels, it turns out that loving with all her heart is so painful for her, never imagined by her, that Alex's sweet attitude all this time, just to cover up his dark relationship with the lover.


Stella steps her feet into the bathroom, then turns on the shower and lets her whole body get wet with cold water, Stella cries silently, spilling all her sadness and disappointment, until I don't know how long he let his body be beaten by the cold water, now he began to shiver, but unheeded, it feels nothing compared to the pain he was suffering.
