Because, I Love You
Episode 151

The days that I went through so long felt, and I only realized this was already the 4th day Irgy was busy in the office. Go early in the morning and come back when the night is getting late. Sometimes I wonder and suspect, but until now nothing has changed with his attitude and attention.

Tonight was the same, I waited for him to fall asleep on the TV room couch. Then I heard the voice of someone who woke me up slowly.

"Darling, darling... Wake up, why are you sleeping here?"

I slowly opened my eyes half-covered, I saw my husband's smile warmly welcomed. It was clearly an expression of guilt on his face.

"You're home yet?" Ask me while rubbing my eyes. Irgy smiled in response to me then loosened the tie around her neck, without answering her she immediately carried me up the stairs until entering our room room.

"Are you not tired? Carrying me up the stairs until I got to my room."

"I'm sorry, I've been busy lately. I rarely give you time together, and I never get home on time."

"What's wrong, I get it."

"I know you're getting bored, understand.." Said Irgy by brushing my hair behind my earlobe.

"Sleep, you're tired."

"I'll clean myself up first. You can go to bed first, don't wait for me."

I nodded slowly. Then fix my position in the blanket, then Irgy moved to the bathroom. In my heart I wanted to put out my complaint, but it didn't seem right. He's so tired, I better shut up.

The morning came quickly...

At the dinner table was ready with all the treats for our breakfast provided by aunt Aisten. The rainbow was ready to sit on the chair to sip a glass of warm milk and a plate of chicken fried rice.

"Eh, baby. Later in the night get ready, change yourself as beautiful as possible and your appearance as attractive as possible." Said Irgy between us eating breakfast.

"Do you want to take me out to dinner tonight?"

"No, we're going to the party. I got a birthday invitation from one of my High School friends, and we had a reunion."

"Why did you just tell me anyway?"

"Ehm, I'm sorry, baby. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"I haven't prepared a proper dress for tonight,"

"Whatever you use will look appropriate and beautiful."

"Pa, the rainbow is coming." Rainbow said in the middle of our conversation.

"Haha, of course the rainbow should come along. Later you will also meet a lot of new friends from your old friends."

"Darling, will you have an ex at the party?" Spontaneously I asked so, making Irgy frown at me.

"Emmm... Do I look like a playboy?"

"May be yes, may be no." Answer me briefly.

"Cih, it's been.. Don't think of anything unimportant. But I have to be at this party, he's one of my best friends in high school first."

"You've never told me that before..."

"We just met, baby, when we were out of town yesterday." Irgy obviously told me.

"Male or female?"

"God, he's a guy who already has 5 kids. We're the only ones with one child, hehe."

"Cih, okay. I'll dress up as pretty as you ask." Answer me cetus.

After picking up Rainbow, I took her to go first to a reliable butique to buy some party dresses along with other accessories. So does Rainbow, I want to dress her like a princess.

After that I also took Rainbow to the salon. To pack our hair to be soft and fragrant and easy when arranged later. This is the first time I took Rainbow to the salon, he was obedient. But as rigid as a robot, I always laugh when I see it.

When evening came, I was getting ready after dressing the rainbow first. Then I put on a gold colored party dress complete with matching hight hell. My long hair that now passes through my shoulders, I'm as sweet as possible with a bangs hairline that I neatly put aside.

And I'm wearing the latest diamond necklace that Irgy gifted me last week. With a few tiny rings I put together on a few fingers of my finger, a small cartier bracelet I wear also to complete the void of my right wrist. While on the left hand I have worn a gold-plated watch, specially designed by a famous reliable designer.

A few minutes later, my phone rang. I picked up as soon as I found out that Irgy was calling me.

"Darling, are you ready?" Irgy said at the end of her phone.

"Hemm, 95% I'm ready." Answer me while again adding the powder coating on both of my cheeks.

"only 95%? Do I have to wait for him again?"

"Ehm, no. You can pick us up right now, Rainbow is ready, I just need to polish my lips with lipstick."

"Currently, you'll forget how ugly your wife's face was before."

"Hahaha, okay. I'll pick you up soon."

Click !!!

Call disconnected.

Then I went out of the room to wait for Irgy on the front porch with Rainbow. But the rainbow was invisible and heard his voice since earlier, where was he???

I tried to see him in the room first, because I saw from above the rainbow no wandering down below.

Oh my God, you know..

I saw the rainbow sound asleep lying on his bed just like that. The closer I got to the sound of snoring.

"Darling, have you been so tired of accompanying mom all day?"

He was so sound and so exhausted after a long day of accompanying me to the boutique and salon for hours. How about this, I can't wake her up.

Irgy's voice called out to me from our room next door, rushing me out of Irgy's room after fixing the position of Rainbow's body that had fallen asleep.

"Darling, ssssttt..." I gave Irgy the direction to hold her voice. Irgy responded with a nod of her head.

"Our daughter is asleep. Then how we're gonna go, I can't bear to leave him here alone." I said to Irgy.

"Oh my God, what's he doing all day, baby?"

"Ehm, I took her to the boutique and to the salon for hours after school."

"Geez, my God, baby. You're outrageous,"

"Eh, I'm sorry. I just want to show her the best at tonight's party. There are a lot of kids there, right? I want the Rainbow to be the prettiest."

"Hum.. I understand, but pity our Rainbow."

"If so, you'll just go. I'll keep him here,"

"Darling, I can't go to this party by myself. We can have aunt take care of him for a minute, hem..?"

"Honey. Poor aunt, all day she's been busy with a lot of homework. She's getting old, don't you, just let her rest."

"Master, madam. You can go, just let auntie take care of little lady. Auntie's still not sleepy, you don't have to worry." Suddenly an assistant aunt appeared from behind.

"Auntie, is it really okay?" I answered looking at him regretfully.

"Yes, ma'am, it's okay. This is your show, let's just say you're dating. You also know, if the little lady has fallen asleep she will not easily wake up until the morning."

"Bi, thanks. You understand us so well, this month my salary increased plus bonus."

"Ah, thank you very much sir. Thanks, but it doesn't need to be. I'm just doing my job here."

"Alright bi, we go yes. Take care of the rainbow well. Aunty can be with the wife also by her side if it starts to get sleepy,"

"Good mistress. Be careful and have fun."

I nodded in response with a smile then we stepped down the stairs to immediately go into the car and attend the party.

On the way I was a little nervous, also nervous. On the one hand I was worried because this was the first time I left Rainbow at home alone at night and only with my house assistant aunt. He was good for years taking care of everything. But I'm still worried.

And on the other hand, Irgy was so enthusiastic about attending this party and reunion. Isn't that annoying and suspicious? But maybe it's just my feeling, isn't it?

"Darling, why have you been so upset since?"

"Is there anything so special about this party and reunion, huh? You're so enthusiastic about attending."

"Geez, baby, come on. Stop thinking too much, I just miss them all, and this is my best friend's party. Did you forget that at our wedding he was with his wife who was already pregnant."

"I forgot." Answer me cetus.

"Ok ok, all right. We'll be there for a second, yeah, if you're uncomfortable."

"I just thought of our daughter, Rainbow."

"I understand, smile dong. Don't frown so, I want you to look charming later. Without a frown on your face just because of the frown from earlier."

"Just do as you please." I looked away and stared at each sidewalk behind the window of our car. I don't know what's wrong with me, so nervous. And I feel hard to be at this party, but it's also a chance for me to know my husband's time in high school.

Hopefully nothing surprises me and makes me feel unworthy to be on the show... Well, I hope so.
