Kirana, Women of Desire
Chapter 5 - Jeffran's Anger

Jeff stepped foot inside his house, as usual no one welcomed his return. A house that feels lonely and empty because there is no more warmth in the house. 

The man sighed then walked slowly up the stairs leading to his room. 

"Home home, Mom?"

"Hmmm.." Jeff just answered with Deheman.

"How about the office?"

"Nothing has changed, it's still the same as it was yesterday." Jeff replied, making Queen's forehead wince in wonder. There was a change in her husband's expression, no smile on his face as usual.

"Mas is okay, right?"

"Yes, why is it? It's just exhaustion." The man answered, laying his body on the bed. 

"Open her clothes first, Mas." 

"Later on, I'm so tired." Reject Jeff, but usually Jeff does not like to sleep before changing his clothes first.

"Bag.."

"Hmmm.." 

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Don't bother me, I'm tired of taking a little nap." Jeff immediately turned around, he was sleeping on his back, now lying on his back to his wife. 

Queen exhaled violently, she chose to read a book. That's his daily activities, confine himself in the room, read books, also draw clothing designs. Queen Ariana is a fashion designer, although now her popularity is declining due to the illness she is suffering from.

While at home, Kirana was kneading her mother's legs which swelled, for whatever reason, but these few days her legs did swell and make it difficult for Nita to walk.

"Your boss is married, or single, honey?" Nita asked her daughter.

"Have married, Ma. But, his wife has stage three uterine cancer." Kirana. 

"Rutum cancer?"

"Yes Ma, Queen's mistress has had the disease for the past year." 

"Hmmm, it's so cassian."

"Yes, said Mr. Jeff his wife was often desperate and trying to end her own life."

"There's a reason, Mama was also in shock. But as time went on, my mother was also able to accept the circumstances." Nita said as she rubbed her daughter's back head. A princess who is possessed by circumstances. 

"Yes too, Ma. Severe illness, must have caused shock." 

"Darling, Mama hoped that before she came home, you were married. Find a good mate, so that mama can sleep peacefully." Lirih Nita, make her daughter look up.

"What did mom say? Mama's not gonna leave Kiran, is she?"

"Not now, but later, son." 

"Mama…"

"Death is a sure thing, baby. We cannot oppose our nature as human beings." 

"Too mama go, Kiran alone dong." Sleek Kirana with two teary eyes. 

"Therefore, I hope you soon have a backrest, a responsible man, loving you sincerely without seeing your status and caste, son." 

"Hopefully Kiran can get a good man huh, Ma." 

"Sure, mama always prays for your happiness. A good woman, made for a good man." 

"But Mama's the same papa different, mama's good, but why is papa depraved?" Hearing her daughter's words, Nita gave a small smile and pinched Kirana's cheek.

"It's not good to talk like that, baby. After all, he is still your father. The bond between father and son will never be broken, even if you wash them with seven wells of water, son. Blood is thicker than water." 

Nita always advised her daughter not to hate her father. Either way, he's still his father. If there wasn't him, Kirana would never have existed. 

"Heemmm, yes Ma." 

"Now, you better get some sleep? You must be tired after working all day, right?"

"This medicine is expensive, where do you have money? It's not payday yet." 

"Kiran dapet tips from the office earlier, because the company managed to get a fairly large tender, Ma." 

"Wahh, it turns out that mama's son is very talented." 

"Hehe, yaudah mama just slept. Kiran has to leave early tomorrow, because there's a meeting." 

"Dear, sleep well." The woman nodded and went to her room. 

Room that looks very small, but neat and fragrant. His goods are neatly arranged, making anyone sure to linger there. However, Kirana could not do that, as she would leave the room during work. He came here only to sleep at night, then left early in the morning, and so on.

Kirana lay down, pulling her blanket up to her chest. His eyes stared at the ceiling of the room which only contained a small lamp, suddenly as bright as Jeff's shadow appeared. He shook his head a few times.

"Aihh, Kiran's aware. He's your boss, that's the only connection between you and him. After all, he's a married man. And he loved his wife very much. You know, I'm not comparable to him." Grumpy Kirana, it's been a few days Jeff's shadow always fills his mind. 

Unlike Kirana, Jeff was precisely hit by guilt on his wife. For some reason, he was lazy to talk to his wife earlier, his mood was too bad. To answer the woman's question flatly and as necessary.

"My words must have hurt her so much, what's wrong with me? Shit." The man grumbled, until when his wife entered with her moody face made Jeff's heart throb even more pain.

"Darling…"

"Hmmm, yes, my mother?" 

"Why are you, how moody?" Ask Jeff about his wife.

"What a fuck is it." Queen replied with a smile that looked very forced. 

"Say what's up? You're not good at lying, honey." 

"Trust me, Mas. I'm fine, I'm tired of wanting to sleep." Queen went straight up to her bed and lay on her back, just like Jeff did to her. 

A curious Jeff chose to find out for himself through the surveillance cameras, and what he saw turned out to make him very angry.

How not, the servants talk about his wife to make the happiness hue of the wife's face disappear instantly. 

"Breng!" Jeff clenched his hands together, then went into the kitchen. 

"Get all of you out!" Shouted Jeff with a reddened face holding back the anger. 

All the servants who had originally been in their respective rooms immediately came out and lined up neatly in front of Jeff. 

"You, come here." Jeff's index pointed at one of the maids who still looked young, with a look of astonishment he came forward and stood right in front of Jeff. 

"What did you tell my wife, huh!" Jeff snapped, his booming voice filling the entire room. 

"S-aya didn't say anything, sir." 

Plaque.. 

The woman fell down while holding her cheek that clearly visible five fingers stamp there, so strong slap that was laid by Jeff.

"I pay you to work, not to insult my wife! Damn it, who do you dare do that to him huh?" 

"Get it out, get you out of my sight!" Jeff's anger peaked, viciously kicking the woman's body until she grimaced in pain.

"What's up, sir?" Ask the bodyguards who just came with their panicked faces.

"Bring this little sneak away from my house, he's dirtying my house!"

"Good sir." Without a doubt, Jeff's two men instantly dragged the young woman without mercy. 

"Warnings to all of you, never do the same with the woman, or accept the consequences!" Strictly Jeff, then went to his room still with the flames of fury burning.

Jeff closed the door slowly, he saw his sleeping wife in his warm blanket. His heart ached, especially when he saw the wife's shady face.

"Sorry, sorry I made you suffer, baby. Sorry.." Jeff briefly kissed his wife's forehead, then hugged the wife's frail body from behind. 

Both of them fell asleep, dissolved in a beautiful dream. Seeing the Queen's shady face, always made her calmer. Although there was still a hint of flames of anger sprinkling from his heart. His wife was too soft to hurt.
