Butterfly In You
Chapter 51: The Hugs of Love

The roar of the dragged suitcase wheel dominated Lilis and Shehan's sense of hearing which together were passing room by room of the house towards the master room. Shehan's sturdy back became the object of Lilis's view. He walked behind with his right wrist held tightly by the man, so it was impossible for Lilis to escape.

"Mas, let me go, Mum! I can walk by myself!" ronta Lilis, holding back the pain of Shehan's grip.

"No! In the room I'll just let you go!" Shehan's rejection slid firmly without seeing the person he was talking to. He continued to keep his exact steps while guiding Lilis.

Lilis frowned, forced to accept Shehan's authoritarian treatment. Upon their arrival in the main room, Shehan kept his promise, releasing Lilis' wrists.

Chequek!

The main room door was tightly closed. There were only two people living inside, namely Lilis and Shehan. The suitcase that had been dragged was still lying near them.

Lilis looked with complaining eyes as she held her wrist free from Shehan's grip. The rest of the pain was still shackled there. Lilis rubbed it a few times. Because of his attitude, Shehan became worried.

"Did your hand hurt?"

"A little, Mas."

"Let me see!" Lilis's hand was wiped out and then carried it to the affected part. "Hw ... Huu ... Huu ... Is it better?"

"Here you go, my mom." Lilis pulled her hand from Shehan. "Why did you tear up our marriage covenant?"

"I still have that letter. I keep it in my office. I'll give you that letter in exchange for your torn letter."

"But really, it wasn't me who told Miss Jesslyn about our contract marriage, Mas."

"Yes, I know that."

Lilis then looked weak.

"Why do you want to sleep in the guest room?" Shehan began to interrogate.

Lilis raised her face again. "Because Miss Jesslyn asked to sleep in this room."

"Why do you want to obey him?"

"Because there's no way I'm going to refuse her request. Moreover, he's a lover of Mas."

"He's not my girlfriend!"

"But she's pregnant with Mas's son, right!"

The tension at the end of the conversation made Lilis eyes dewy. His vision began to blur, glazed when he was still face to face with Shehan. Shehan himself did not deny Lilis' allegations. He turned deliberately avoiding the demanding gaze of the girl.

"If you already have a boyfriend, why would you marry me? Why not marry your lover!"

"I told you he's not my girlfriend!"

"But Miss Jesslyn said so. He said Mas married me just for revenge because he went to America and Mas thought that Miss Jesslyn would never come back."

"When did he tell you?"

"So morning, when Mas and Nurbanu had left the house."

"Then what else did he say?"

"He said that Mas was just using me to make Miss Jesslyn jealous and want to go back to Mas."

"No, Lilis. Our relationship was once just friends. That's it, nothing more."

"Miss Jesslyn also said that it was Mas who suggested she get pregnant and stay in this house."

"No, that's not how it happened."

"So what is it like? I was thinking, why am I married, even another pregnant woman. But it's only natural that the other woman is Mas's lover and I'm just a contract wife."

"You should trust me more because I'm your husband."

Shehan was silent again. It was difficult for him to answer Lilis's question. Although told the forerunner of this problem though, not necessarily Lilis will understand.

"I realized that my status is only a contract wife. That's why I wanted to leave this room when Miss Jesslyn said I wanted to sleep here. I'm a contract wife, Mas. Actually I don't need to feel hurt after knowing Miss Jesslyn is pregnant with Mas's child. Next year we'll get a divorce and Mas can remarry Miss Jesslyn. I don't know why I feel sad. I feel played with."

Lilis tears flowed, accompanying the last sentence she said. Shehan was unmoved, but in his heart he was also sad to see his wife like that. All this misfortune was not his wish.

Lilis then left, taking her pain to the sofa where she used to sleep. That's where he cried. Vaporizing the peak of emotions, hoping that his chest tightness was reduced. Both of his shoulders trembled, in harmony with the ever-increasing whim.

Shehan then followed. Not just bringing yourself. Except as a man who wants to reduce his female turmoil. He sat right next to Lillis. Cupping Lilis cheek with her palm. Direct their faces back to face to face.

Lilis gasped as the look in their eyes met each other, but she resignedly accepted Shehan's gentle demeanor.

"I'm sorry .. I'm sorry!"

That's what Shehan said, which directly nourished Lilis' heart. Shehan's thumb slowly wiped away the tears that were there. While staring at his wife inside, he repeated the same apology.

"I'm sorry. I can't explain what happened in detail. But I apologize sincerely to you."

Lilis was silent, living out Shehan's opposite-than-usual attitude change. When the man was hard like wood, now smooth as fine as silk. However, a beam of bitterness has already hurt Lilis' calf niche.

"I don't want to stay here, Mom! I'm going!" he said it was huffed. Rejecting her feelings that have melted.

"Where are you going?" Shehan frowned anxiously.

"I'm not going back to Banyuwangi, but I don't want to stay here either!" With Shehan's hand, Lilis stood up to leave.

"Don't go, Lilis!" Shehan stood up, clutching Lilis' hand again. He pulled the girl into his arms.

"Take me off, Mom!" Suddenly Lilis pushed Shehan's body away.

"No! You can't go!"

"There's Miss Jesslyn accompanying Mas here!"

"I don't need it. I need you!"

"Take me off, Mom! Please let me go!"

"No, you can't go! Without my permission, you are forbidden to leave this house! Don't forget your status is still legally tied to my marriage."

Lilis sobbed and thrashed, but Shehan further tightened his hold until their bodies stuck together without a crack.

"Take me off, Mom! I'm going!" A gentle lilis accompanies the roar of tears that feel at home flowing.

"No! I won't let you go!"

Continuously struggling to make the energy of Lilis drained. Even his efforts did not produce any results. She could not escape Shehan's embrace. His body was limp, only able to cry at this moment.

"Hiks! Hicks! Hicks!"

Shehan leaned Lilis' head against his chest. Gently stroking her hair with one hand. The other hand still hugged Lilis. Not a little bit.

"Stay here! I'm worried about not seeing you."

Pt ....

A warm kiss of Shehan pinned on his wife's head. Always so that the inner mosquito of Lilis subsides. Presumably it worked because the intonation as unwilling as Lilis was more regular.

'Mas Shehan kissed me?'

Lilis slowly looked up after feeling the brief kiss earlier. From behind her reckless eyes, Lilis stared at her husband intensely. Shehan replied with the same spotlight. A hint of desire arises from within his instincts. But not let it happen. Shehan preferred to respect Lilis' privacy and not go any further.
