Butterfly In You
Chapter 50: The End of the Marriage Covenant

Shehan squinted from behind the windshield of the car window, when he saw Jesslyn standing in front of the main porch of the house, waiting for her return. The Turkish man then got off his luxury four-wheeled vehicle while carrying an office bag. Although it was now 17:40 pm, Shehan's appearance was nothing short of the slightest. Stay as beautiful and fresh as he was this morning when he went to work.

"Good afternoon, Shehan." Jesslyn greeted, smiling charming as well. Shehan's office bag, deliberately wanted to pay attention. However, Shehan instead kept the briefcase out of Jesslyn's reach.

"Let me alone carry my bag," he replied cynically, then turned away. I didn't want to see Jesslyn for long.

Jesslyn let out a long sigh, trying to patiently face Shehan's cold demeanor. Jesslyn knew that Shehan's attitude wasn't like this, they were close friends. It takes time for everything to come back the way it was before.

As the man walked into the house, Jesslyn followed him from behind. Until entering the main room, Jesslyn also went inside. After putting an office bag on the nightstand, Shehan was surprised to see the sassiness of Jesslyn who dared to enter the area of her private room.

"Why did you get in here too? Where's Lilis?" he asked, not happy.

"The lyrics? Ehem ...." Jesslyn set the vocal cords before recounting the new drama. "Dear, Shehan. I have something to tell you. Actually Lilis already knows about our relationship."

"Our relationship? What do you mean our relationship?" The wrinkles on Shehan's forehead doubled.

Jesslyn took a few steps closer. "Shehan, listen to my explanation first" he added softly. He knew Shehan was tired all day at work, and even more so given their current friendship status, one word of speech could make Shehan's emotions explode.

"Actually accidentally, Lilis heard my conversation on the phone with the obstetrician" Jesslyn said. "So he asked after that. At first I didn't want to say anything. But she kept pushing and I finally told her everything that happened about us."

"What! You told me everything about us?" shehan said, so surprised.

"Yes, Shehan. But don't worry, Lilis understood. He instead volunteered to sleep in the guest room from tonight and I'll take his place sleeping here with you."

"Where is Lilis now?"

"In the guest room."

Shehan rushes to the guest room looking for his wife. "Lilases! Lilys!"

He exclaimed quite loudly while walking in a hurry. It was fortunate that Nurbanu was going with Mbok Tum to the supermarket, so was unaware of the commotion.

"Shehan's! Shehan! Why are you looking for him!  Lilis won't be bothered by you!"

Jesslyn overtakes Shehan in the back. But Shehan doesn't care. He continued walking quickly while calling Lilis.

"Lilases! Lilys!"

Chequek!

Lilis was putting a pile of her clothes in the closet when the guest room door was opened. The girl spontaneously turned her head, gasping to see Shehan appear there.

"Mas Shehan ...." Lilis said slowly. His voice was almost gone because he kept crying.

Shehan stared at her intensely. Then glance at some of the stack of clothes Lilis who has been arranged in the closet. Then he went into the guest room, suddenly took Lilis's clothes from the closet, put them again in an open suitcase and lay on the bed.

"Mas, why take my clothes?" Lilis was confused at Shehan's attitude.

"You should go back to my room!" Firm Shehan.

Jesslyn who had already arrived there as well, watched from the doorway.

"No Mas! Nah! I'll just sleep in this room!" Lilis' intonation trembled, holding back the urge to cry again.

Shehan stopped putting Lilis's clothes in the suitcase. Lilis was standing next to him. The girl's face is usually cheerful, but now looks haphazard. His eyes were swollen and the tip of his nose was red. Shehan guessed that Lilis had been crying all day.

"No, Lilis! You need to get back to my room!"

"No Mas! I don't want to! I'll just stay here!" Lilis insisted.

"Don't I tell you, Shehan, that Lilis really wants to stay in this room. He won't be bothered by you!" Jesslyn went into the room. Join to meddle in the debate of the couple. Shehan and Lilis' attention was spontaneously distracted by him.

"Shehan's! Didn't you hear yourself that Lilis wants to stay in this room!" jesslyn exclaimed stubbornly Shehan. But the man instead replied to her with an answer that made Jesslyn jealous.

"She's my wife! He has to be with me!"

"My wife! My wife! She's just your contract wife, Shehan! You're defending her too much!"

Shehan suddenly gasped. Two steps ahead Jesslyn. "Where did you know that Lilis was my contract wife?"

"That's because ...." Jesslyn was confused as to what. Afraid of being discovered, he licked his tongue twisting the facts. "Lilis told me that she only married you!"

"What!" A pair of Lilis eyes grew bigger hearing Jesslyn's accusation. As soon as he visited Shehan, hugged one of the man's arms and cried "Mas, I'm innocent, Mas! It wasn't me who told Miss Jesslyn about our contract marriage. Right, not me, Mas!"

"Lilis, why are you lying!" Jesslyn rebuked.

"The lady is lying." Lilis is attacking. Then she returned to the front of her husband sobbing "Really Mas, I didn't tell her!"

While Shehan flinch, reviewing the Lilis and Jesslyn debate. Who is right between the two women? Shehan recalls that Jesslyn had come to his office to have lunch together. At that time, the letter of her marriage agreement with Lilis was still open on the desk, after Shehan reread it. Shehan believes Jesslyn must have seen the letter when she went to the toilet.

"Mas Shehan! I really didn't tell you, Mom!" Lilis was still sobbing in defense of herself.

"Lilis, give me our marriage agreement!" shehan's orders later.

"But Mas ...." Lilis hesitated.

"Give me that letter now!" Shehan.

Lilis was forced to take her marriage covenant letter which she kept at the very bottom of the suitcase, stricken with clothes. He handed the letter to Shehan.

"Here, Mas."

A second later the letter changed hands. Shehan pulls out the letter from inside the envelope, showing the sheet right in front of Jesslyn's face. "What do you mean by this letter? A letter stating that Lilis is my contract wife?"

Jesslyn looked at it carefully. "Yes, Shehan. Lilis once showed me this letter and told me she was just your contract wife."

"No, Mom! That's not true!" Lilis denies.

One corner of Shehan's lips rose, smiling strangely. Without warning he tore the marriage covenant into two parts. The reflexes of the two women who were there were gaping, gasping instead of playing.

"Mas, why was it ripped off?" ask Lilis, confused.

Not just two pieces, Shehan also tore the letter into small pieces. After that, it threw everything into the air.

Ous ....

Each piece fell scattered around Jesslyn. Jesslyn and Lilis are both fixated on seeing Shehan's determined action. Before long the man pulled Lilis tightly, until it hit his own body.

"Akh!" decak Lilies.

Shehan embraced Lilis tightly in front of Jesslyn. "He's my legal wife now. So what do you want?"

"Well!" Lilis turned to Shehan with an expression of disbelief.

"Shehan, you're this!" While Jesslyn bit her lower lip, holding back the upset. "Aah!" Hands into the air. While grumbling go out of the guest room.
