Gloria had to let her sister and her parents return to Indonesia today after almost a week of time together. He, Owen and Jeff drive the family home to the airport.
"You okay, honey?" asked Owen to him who was picking up a lethargic face.
"I'm fine, it's just that I'm still wondering why Hans won't stay here and accept the job offer you've been given" he replied languidly.
"Here it is, it has become his choice and we must respect that" Owen said, embracing his wife.
They got out of the airport area and entered the car.
"Do you want to have lunch outside?" ask Owen.
"May also."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Ehm.." he tapped his fingers in front of his lips, trying to think. "Chinese food, shall you?" his proposal.
"Of course you can," Owen chuckled as he ruffled his hair.
Owen's car began walking across the street, after driving for a while to arrive at a Chinese restaurant in the city. Owen helped him push Jeff's stroller, then they sat at a table that was invited by a Restaurant waiter and ordered some food.
"Why do you keep smiling?" he asked Owen who often looked to grin.
"Can't you?"
"Of course I can, I just want to know the reason" he replied giggling.
"The reason is because now I'm with you and Jeff.I'm happy, '" Owen said as he stroked his hand on the table.
"I'm happy too" he replied as he looked at Owen with the brightest smile.
Before long, their food came and they began to enjoy it. The happy words he conveyed to Owen were not just lipped, since long ago, precisely since knowing Owen, his life felt different.
Before, when he arrived in this country. He's like a fool. Richard rarely took her around, even taking her out to eat together. He feels imprisoned in Richard's Mansion, even though Richard frees him everywhere.
Now, his life has changed drastically, Owen spoils him. Until sometimes he almost never faced difficulties when with Owen. Not after marriage alone, such feelings had even existed long ago, when they were still living together.
"Honey, are you daydreaming?" Owen's question made him come to his senses from daydreams. He did not mean to compare Richard to Owen, however Richard had been his choice, long ago.
"No, I'm just thinking about us" she said.
"About us? What's up with us? Everything's fine, isn't it? Is something bad?"
"No. I was just thinking why you could finally fall in love with me, when you used to be so hard to interpret your feelings" he said.
"Hahaha, I used to be too naive, Baby. Look, don't ever try to get away from me again!" Owen looked at him fixedly, but was accompanied by an intimidating smile.
"Good, Sir. If the Servant leaves again, it means the Stupidest female Servant. For the Master is the best," he joked with a contrived voice, making Owen laugh.
________
The post-married life that Owen and Gloria lived really made both of them want to learn. Not only learning to be a newlywed couple who understand each other, but also learning to be a complete parent for baby Jeff.
Complete in the sense of non-biased. Not only Gloria is tired of caring for Jeff, but Owen also took part in caring for his son. He felt he had missed enough of the most important moments of Gloria's life and he felt guilty.
Not only did not accompany Gloria while pregnant, but also Gloria's toughest time when enduring the pain of childbirth. He was determined not to make the same mistake again, he did not want to hurt Gloria in the slightest. He will try to take care of Gloria and her son.
However, Celine's arrival that afternoon became the beginning of their quarrel for the first time since the status of husband and wife.
_______
"Owen.." the voice of someone who entered the Mansion and immediately called Owen, was enough to disturb Gloria's hearing, because it was the voice of a woman.
"Celine.. Are you here?" gloria asked in astonishment.
Celine nodded. "Is Owen there?" tanyakanya.
"There, in the back yard with Jeff," Gloria replied.
Actually, as a woman and a wife, Gloria was quite disturbed by Celine's attitude that remained familiar with Owen. It was true that Celine had regretted her past actions, it was also true that this woman had apologized to Owen as well as to Gloria, but still in Gloria's heart felt it was inappropriate for Celine to continue acting like this.
But, can Gloria prevent it? She did not know how important Celine was in her husband's eyes.
"All right, let me call you."
"Not to bother, Gloria. Let me meet him in the back." Celine spoke while stepping foot, without waiting for approval first from Gloria's lips.
Gloria gave a short sigh, then followed Celine's steps, of course she did not want to let her husband only be with Celine even though there was a baby Jeff among them.
Gloria watched in silence as Celine greeted Owen. Apparently the woman wanted to hand over some office files to her husband because this week Owen had not come to the company since they were officially married.
"You don't have to bother, Celine. Let this be delivered by Jared" Owen said as he received the file from Celine.
"If you just want to hand it over, you can also leave it to me earlier ..." - timpal Gloria, making Celine and Owen stare at her.
"It's okay, Gloria. I want to ask you about Owen too" Celine replied with a smile.
Gloria shook her head faintly. I don't think about Celine's answer.
"I'm very kind, as you can see," Owen chuckled.
"Yes, for that I want to make sure by looking at you directly."
"Oh my.." murmured Gloria while thinking less and more about Celine.
Was that woman really willing to marry him? Why did he suddenly become upset? Celine's attitude was friendly, but no one ever knew what a Celine was thinking, right?
"You'd better get back to the office, Celine." Owen looked at Gloria whose face turned gloomy. His wife seems jealous. "Other times do not bother to give this up until coming here in business hours, let's just Jared," concluded Owen.
"Well, after you sign it, do I want to pick up all those files?" ask Celine who does not feel her attitude is wrong.
"No, I told you this was Jared's business."
Celine said goodbye to Gloria, even kissing both cheeks of Gloria familiarly. However, Gloria had already lost respect for the woman.
"What's the matter, honey? Why have I been quieting down all day?" asked Owen as they were getting ready to go to bed at night.
"I don't like Celine," Gloria replied bluntly.
"Isn't yesterday still okay?" ask Owen in wonder.
"He should have been able to leave the file to me, if he really just wanted to hand it over to you. Why meet and face-to-face, then ask how you are doing. Does he think I'm torturing you?" gloria's nagging made Owen scratch his non-itchy head.
"So because of that, maybe he just wanted to hand it over directly to me."
"Did she think I'd hide her file and not tell you, did she?"
"It's not so dear" said Owen slowly. He held both of Gloria's shoulders to calm her down.
"Then, because he misses you, right? You didn't go into the office for a week and he missed you. Yeah, obviously!"
Owen chuckled softly. "Are you Jealous, Baby?"
"I'm jealous of course!" gloria answered quickly.
Owen raised both his hands in surrender. "Don't be jealous, I don't choose it, you're my choice...."
Gloria shakes. "You chose her, if you had never known the truth, maybe you'd be married by now" said Gloria.
"God, baby...."
"That's it, I'm going to sleep!" Gloria turned her back to Owen who looked confused because only this time she saw Gloria's jealous attitude.
