Marrying the Papa Candidate
HOP THIRTY SEVEN

📌 Earlier sorry if the chapter title is irregular wkwk, anyway as long as there is a title...

Vanessa contemplates in her room. Tonight Rega didn't come home, maybe still angry and still not accept Geovan coming.

To be honest Vanessa has reduced communication with Geovan. But, it had not cut ties with the young man.

More precisely do not know what to do in the future. Vanessa feels Geo has nothing wrong with her, it's hard to ask for a break up.

Huh... Vanessa slammed her back into her pink bed. Missed that handsome figure, but....

The girl grabbed her phone. Usually, Rega was busy sending so many messages that he had to switch his phone to silent mode.

Again where, with whom, what, have eaten, have taken a shower, just about that can be dozens of chat that comes in. Then what's with today, Rega didn't even call himself once.

"Om what else..." Vanessa deleted her writing. "I'm not going home..." Again, Vanessa paused her text message.

Ah, God why does it feel like there is less when someone who every day gives news and yesterday the news is not important, then this moment becomes very expensive for him.

Vanessa scrolled the screen, rereading text messages from Rega that she never wanted to read yesterday. Even just looking at it Vanessa didn't do it.

[Only the sound of the bird you heard, and you never saw the bird, but knew it was there.]

[Only the whir of the wind do you feel, and you never see the wind, but believe it's all around you.]

[It is only my prayers that vibrate tonight, and you have never seen who I am, but believe I am in you.]

[And I am the temple in the poem.]

Vanessa's rustled, all this time she's been messing with messages from someone who didn't send them tonight.

Vanessa put her phone on the side of her head, rolled to the side and fumbled her pink sheets.

Sheets that Rega did not like at all, but because he was there, the handsome man always came home just to sleep with him as if he was not kapok even though he did not want to be touched.

Rega's help, Rega's apology, as well as Rega's words, seemed sincere when recalling how the man treated himself and his father.

Rega even helps his father's company problems without asking for anything in return, as Vanessa thinks.

If there is no sincere feeling, Rega could divorce himself and find a replacement for him. There are not many women out there waiting in line, including Yulia the secretary probably.

Ah... I don't know, tonight Vanessa feels able to understand all the actions of Rega who yesterday was not appreciated at all.

•••••••••••••

...Tomorrow afternoon.......

^^^•••••••••••••^^^

Vanessa ran from the school lobby. Her husband's black car is on standby up there. Vanessa is determined to have a casual talk with Rega and considers yesterday's never happened in her life.

In fact, Vanessa had already limited her relationship with Geovan. Rega should be able to understand and not need to be angry anymore.

However, the lips that were originally smiling, suddenly dimmed when not Rega who came but Sofie. "Why isn't he here?"

Sofie smiled over Vanessa's confusion. "Om Rega's sick?" ask again.

Sofie shakes. "No, boss is just a lot of work. And from now on, I'll pick up Miss."

"Where is Om Rega now?" Vanessa wants to know where her husband is. During this time not Rega is also a lot of work, but can still take time for him.

"Who's the guy?" Vanessa is reminded of Yulia, who always wants to go wherever her husband goes.

"Client."

Vanessa came in through the door opened by her beautiful driver. "Anything to get there, brother."

"But..."

"Please," please Vanessa. Sofie snorted though in the end obeyed the will of the young Mistress.

Arriving at the hotel, Vanessa immediately ran to the room that the receptionist showed while fighting with her mind.

Why not a meeting room, why should the bedroom be used for meetings. Vanessa fucked up, what else when she found out the place Rega was using was the toilet.

"Of!" Upon arriving at the room Rega was using, Vanessa found the puzzled gazes of several middle-aged men and women.

Apparently the bad assumption is wrong. Instead of cheating, Rega is at work and is showing a new electronic function X-meria embedded in the bathroom toilet Millers-corpora.

"Let's Miss." Yulia shows the way for Vanessa to come out while Rega continues her work.

Vanessa was told to wait in the room. The same room that yesterday became the place where Rega fucked her. Vanessa waited long enough for her husband.

At seven o'clock in the night, Rega had just entered the room. Vanessa immediately stood up to welcome her husband.

"Of..." Rega loosened his tie. Look at his wife in a caring manner.

"Want to stay here again?"

"Hm." Rega took off one by one the buttons of his shirt. Throwing it haphazardly onto the couch.

"Anes is that too." Vanessa approaches Rega who steps into the bathroom.

"Om angry about yesterday?" The girl was responded with a fairly flat Rega. "On Geovan," added Vanessa.

Rega was silent and did not answer. He was afraid he could not control his emotions anymore like the last time they argued.

Vanessa lowered her head. "We haven't broken up yet. But... Try to understand a little of Anes' position..."

"I don't have a lover. So I don't know how I understand you." Vanessa fell silent as Rega interrupted her speech.

"I don't know what it's like to have a girlfriend and a wife at the same time, so it's hard to understand you" he added and Vanessa was quite stunned.

"Yesterday with Hilda, we had a chance to plan a wedding. And it happened before I decided to continue marrying you, before I committed to stay with you" she said.

Vanessa is still flinching. From the beginning of the marriage, it was Vanessa and she confessed wrongly.

"But you're still in status with your lover. Though you yourself chose not to divorce me," he added.

"So sorry Vanessa, if I never wasn't angry when you met her, accept it or not, this is how I am" he concluded.

Vanessa cut her lips deep enough as the beginning of the shedding of tears that crawl her smooth cheeks...

At first Vanessa thought she would never feel comfortable with someone who had been her mother's lover, no.

"Shitt's..." Rega pulled the girl's body to be given a caring hug. In fact, no matter how angry, he could not bear to see the tears of his little wife. "Why should I fall in love with you?" muttered.
