Karma Durhaka's Wife
248. Comforting myself
The princess called out to Arya after the cooking she made was ready. The woman invited her husband to eat together.
Of course he looks very happy because he can eat together again with his beloved husband. Now, Putri is spooning rice and side dishes for Arya with enthusiasm.
"You should eat a lot, honey."
Meanwhile, Arya simply nodded without any rejection. He then ate the food provided by the princess.
There was no conversation at the dinner table. Arya was more silent when eating food on her plate.
There was not the usual gentle gaze that the man gave the Princess.
Of course the attitude of such a different husband is realized by the Princess. However, do not want to ruin the atmosphere at the dining table by asking about things that might damage her husband's appetite.
Usually Arya will look enthusiastic when they eat together.
In the past, her husband did not stop praising the wife's cooking and thanked her for the food served for her.
After eating, the Princess cleaned the dining table, dirty dishes and tidied up the food that was still left quite a lot.
Today, even Arya only ate a little and did not spend any food on her plate.
'Is Arya sick?' the Princess inwardly asked with an extremely agitated feeling and made her feel very confused as she guessed what really happened to Arya.
After tidying things up, he searches Arya into the room for not finding the man in the living room.
However, it turns out that Arya was also not in their room. From inside the house, he saw a shadow of someone sitting on the porch of their house. Slowly he opened the tightly shut door in front of him.
The princess was quite surprised when she saw Arya who was sitting while smoking tobacco which the man clamped with his index and middle fingers.
Arya glances at the Princess when she realizes the woman's whereabouts, but then goes back to sucking the nicotine in her hands and exhaling the smoke coming out of her nose and mouth into the air.
Arya seemed to really enjoy the puff of a cigarette.
The smell of smoke from the cigarette being smoked by her husband immediately pierced the Princess' sense of smell.
He breathed in the air polluted by the smoke. When he wanted to throw a sentence, he suddenly heard the sound of Xander crying.
The princess paused her intention to talk to Arya. He closed the door tightly. Then immediately went into the room and saw his son who was awake. Apparently Xander woke up thirsty and hungry.
While breastfeeding her baby, the Princess' mind is still on her husband.
Just not coming home one night, Arya's attitude immediately made the Princess astonished.
What exactly happened to her husband? It's not usually Arya to behave like that. If you have a problem in the office, you will tell him.
Then they will find a solution together. However, this time was different, the Princess did not recognize her husband. Arya is like everyone else.
After spending a cigarette, Arya went into the house and met his wife in their room.
I feel like I need to talk to the princess immediately. The longer he was in that house, the more his chest tightened and ached.
Undeniably, Arya still misses the woman and wants to hug her, but she can't do that. Arya chose to wait in the living room.
“It's done?” arya asked his wife as she walked out of the room and sat down next to him.
"Why is your attitude so strange today?"
“Regular," replied Arya flat.
“Why don't you dare look at me? What are you hiding from me?” ask the Princess again. “See Me!”
Arya turned her face to look at the Princess. He caught a sadness in the eyes of the woman who was still his wife.
“Tell me what really happened? I feel you are not the Arya I know,” Putri added in a trembling voice, but as much as possible she held back tears from dripping.
Arya sighed and turned her gaze back the other way. He could not bear if he had to linger staring at the beautiful bead of the woman sitting next to him.
He did not want to melt again with the sad face that the Princess showed. “I have to go back to live in my parents' house."
The Princess' heart was forced to stop suddenly when she heard her husband's words. Bad thoughts that had haunted yesterday, came back to the surface and made the woman shake her head several times.
“Are you going to leave us?” ask the princess with a clean sliver.
“Mama's condition still no development. The doctor did his best to make it quickly. Papa asked me to take his place in the company for a while until mom regained consciousness and recovered."
"So, I have to stay in their residence again,” Arya said. He did not say whether or not he would leave his wife and children.
“How long?” asked the Princess in a hoarse voice as her breath instantly choked in the throat.
“I don't know.” Arya sniffed her shoulders.
“Doctors alone can not be sure when mama will be aware of the coma.”
“Can't you stay here with us?” The princess is still trying to change her husband's decision which makes her feel very sad.
“Cannot. When I replace papa's position in the company, there will automatically be a lot of media to find out about my life. Without explaining anything, I think you already know what the impact would be if I stayed here?”
Arya looked up at the princess. He could see the woman commenting on the thin smile that seemed forced from the corner of her lips.
“Yes, I understand. Do it according to your father's wishes. I hope you will not forget where your real home is,” added Putri with two teary eyes.
Now, he turned his gaze away from Arya. The princess then moved from her seat.
"alright. I will help pack the items that you still need there.”
Arya stared at the back of his wife's hand as she walked towards the other room next to their bedroom.
He could also see the wife wiping away her tears as she walked into the room.
As hard as she could, the Princess endured the turmoil in her heart, but in the end, the tears could not be contained.
The princess realized, she would not be able to hold the husband to stay here, with her and their children.
‘Quiet Princess. Everything's gonna be fine. You just need to be patient in a moment,’ said the Princess in the heart who was comforting herself.
