He Who Came Among Us
Who is that woman?

Topaz returns to the party alone, the woman looks unhappy with Topaz's treatment that takes her away without her having time to reciprocate.

"Who's your wife? The village woman did not know herself how dare she slapped me in front of guests and in my own house" the woman said.

"Don't insult her" Topaz snapped.

The woman fell silent, the host approached them to mediate.

"Cetrine, stop complaining. Respect Topaz and his wife" August said.

Cetrine Peridot is Peridot's daughter, whose mother died when Cetrine grew up. Making her a favorite princess and spoiled, all the wishes of the princess will certainly be fulfilled by August Peridot.

"Pa, the village lady slapped me, and Topaz let her go without apologizing first" Cetrine said.

Cetrine looked at Topaz asking for an explanation. His relationship with Topaz began in college until now. Many gossip say they are a mismatched couple about to get married, but gossip is just gossip. Topaz prefers simple women over Resewood.

"OK, I'm sorry to represent my wife, satisfied!," cried Topaz passed away leaving the party.

"Ma,.. " Pampered Cetrine whine.

"Cetrine learn to mature, don't interfere with Topaz's life. He already has a woman in his heart" Papa advised.

"I'm not sure they're getting married out of love, just look I'll take this slap back" he promised in a fury that hasn't subsided.

The father, August, was anxious about what his daughter would do, but he could only watch over her behavior.

The solitude of the spacious butchery griya made me cry, remembering the warmth of my home in Rosewood. His longing for Eldred added to his sobs, causing me to fall asleep in the living room.

The arrival of Topaz I didn't realize, seeing myself fall asleep immediately carried me to the room.

"Hubby." I said half awake.

"You're up," he said, "sleep again," he dropped me off at the mattress.

"I'm sorry" I said, "but you have to hear my explanation first why I.. "

"No, just show that you're wrong. I told you to take care of your attitude," always cynically.

"What is your relationship with him?" I asked.

"I told you she was the daughter of August Peridot, a luxury Night Club businessman and almost 50% of Zephyr Wine was ordered by her, luckily August wasn't angry about your actions against her daughter" she explained without looking at me.

I got off the bed and hugged her from behind.

"I will apologize to the woman and also to Mr. August" I cried.

"I've apologized for representing you, there won't be a second time, understand!," Topaz turned his back and wiped my tears.

topaz's two hands cupped him in my face and he brought his face closer to kiss me, his tall body causing me to step on my feet in order to touch his soft lips.

The kiss is soft, slow, and long. Every touch of his lips was able to stir up the desire within me, sending out vibrations that made my legs limp.

Just about to enjoy the kiss, Topaz released me.

"Sleep" he said, leaving me.

It's always like this, leaving me when I try to get back at it.

Topaz never returned to his room until the morning. I woke up when the sunlight greeted my face, I saw the place next to me empty, the sheets and covers were still tidy.

Sleep where he's been all night.

"Wake up" said Topaz, to my surprise, "we're going to go visit my mom" he continued.

Hearing the name Esmerald is said to make me happy. My busyness with the party made me forget his presence. I hurried to prepare myself, not wanting Topaz to wait for me for long.

Soka had been in the dining room discussing business with Topaz when I approached her.

"Soka will take you to my mom's house, I have business to do," Topaz kissed me on the cheek and left.

"He's always like that?" I asked.

"Master has a schedule" he replied.

"But it can accompany me for a while" I said sadly.

Soka did not answer just waiting for me in silence.

The Esmerald House was deserted, the two-story building looked beautiful with the gardens surrounding it. A housekeeper drove me to the garden behind the house, where there was the sound of the laughter of two people who were joking.

"Mrs Esmerald, there's a guest" said her maid.

Esmerald looked at me, with a warm smile he came up to me and hugged me.

"Ruby baby, how are you?" he asked, "Topaz treated you well right! Tell mama she's rude to you," she continued.

"Yes aunty" I replied.

"Mama's not aunty," the correction.

"When there's a guest, Ruby bothers ya," I asked.

"No," said the guest.

The woman stood there against me, her eyes looking at me from head to toe. I was still motionless looking at him who was now judging me.

Huh! why is that woman here?. Patience Ruby, don't make a fuss or hubby will get angry.

"Ruby, meet her Cetrine, Topaz's friend in college, now that her father is Topaz's business partner," the woman walked up to me and stretched out her hand.

"Ruby," I said.

"Oh, you know each other" Esmerald said.

"Not aunty personally because last night he had been taken away Topaz" he said, laughing cynically.

Cetrine brought Esmerald into the house, I followed from behind to the cozy living room with a cream-colored sofa bed adorning the room.

"Tan, this is a gift from my vacation yesterday, a face cream suitable for aunt's skin," Cetrine gave a packet of face cream with a famous brand, "sorry, I did not buy you. Next time I'll buy it" he said.

"Thank you, Ruby can take the mama if you want," my mother-in-law bargained.

"Why ma'am, I still have at home" I said.

"You talk to get to know each other" said Esmerald.

"Where are you going?" I asked in panic.

"Go to the kitchen and check on our lunch, relax here" Esmerald ordered.

After Esmerald left, I was nervous about being left with this woman, afraid I'd do something like last night.

"You're Ruby," he said, "We're friends, sorry for my rant the other day, Topaz didn't tell me he was married when I was on vacation" he explained.

"Oh, I'm sorry about last night, too. How's your cheek?" I'm worried.

"It's better" he said, "where do you know Topaz?" he asked.

"We met when her parents visited my house" I explained.

"Oh, so you fell in love with each other at that time and stopped getting married" he explained.

"It can be said like that" I told a lie.

"It's romantic" but it's the cynical tone that comes out when he says it.

tension was created between us, Cetrine reluctantly continued the conversation with me.

"Ruby..," call someone.

"Yes" I answered from where I was sitting.

I was surprised to find Topaz here.

"Hubby is here?" Topaz kissed my cheek.

"Lunch with my beloved mother and wife of course," explained Topaz who was shocked to see Cetrine.

"Ehem, I seem to disturb your affection" Cetrine said.

Topaz's rapid change of emotions astonished me.

"Go help mamah, okay!, "let Topaz know.

Forced to follow his will, I looked at the glance between the two like there was a secret that no one wanted to know.

"Why come here?" Topaz said coldly.

"Give a gift to my beloved mother" replied Cetrine, "and unexpectedly, I also get a surprise with the arrival of your little wife" he explained.

"Go home" said Topaz.

"Or what.

Cetrine is close to Topaz. Put his hands on the collar of his shirt, tidying up the invisible dust.

"Who is your taste or you deliberately mock me" he whispered in Topaz's ear.

"Stay away from him!," told Topas with emotions that began to be provoked.

"Kc.. Ck.. Ck.. Don't rule me, your little wife is what bothers me. But take it easy I don't like to bring it up, so just act like normal, okay!" he said.

"Sadly, the conglomerate is content to travel, why are you back?" asked Topaz looking into her brownish eyes.

"Meeting you," the short answer left Topaz speechless.

Topaz's face stiffened as Cetrine's fine fingers stroked his cheeks, moving them slowly for their eyes to collide.

"Do you really not love me anymore?" asked Cetrine in a soft voice.

The two stared at each other causing their own passion, slowly they narrowed the distance only one cent of their lips met.

But the sound disturbance caused both of them to stay away.

"Hubbys... Cetrine... Mama told you to go to the dining room" call me.

Seeing their clumsy gurgles made me wonder what had happened.

"Maybe next time, I have an important appointment. Thanks for the offer, nice to meet you, I hope we can be good friends, Ruby!," said the message, "send my regards to auntie well," he continued who now stepped out of the house.

Topaz watched Cetrine who stepped like a model, making me angry and envious of his body shape.

"Hubby.. ," call me to his attention.

"Come, we eat" he said.

What are you hiding from me, hubby?.
