My Heart Was Wounded Deep
Chapter 87's

The day Kikan day passed happily, Kikan was still working on a bracelet order that came, every weekend he would go to his mother's place, even Rey accompanied him. They stayed for two days in Kikan's trailer. That's the routine Kikan is now. Prepare breakfast every morning for the two men he loves. Checking his work on the new laptop Rey bought. And the more days Kikan's love grows for Rey.

This weekend, Rey invites him to a dinner party hosted by his business partner. Kikan hesitated to come, he did not like the crowd very much. But Kikan agreed to Rey's invitation. He should always be supportive and be the one Rey can rely on.

Kikan stared and stared at his waistline, not believing the difference that was so obvious in his body. Now the party dress she had just worn felt cramped for her, almost feeling uncomfortable. Four weeks ago, this dress was fitting and comfortable to wear! There was no way he would get fat this fast.

Rey patiently waited for him, watching Kikan and starting to laugh. "Your body weight is only slightly increased, Kikan."

"This doesn't feel right!"

"Of course it's true, and that's to be expected because you left behind a lot of your daily activities during your stay with me. You no longer cycle back and forth to Devan's house every day, and all this time you eat far more than you normally eat. I like your body as full as it is now" Rey said.

Kikan managed to ease his frustration when he saw Rey looking at him with an adoring look, but it obviously took a lot of effort to do so. This very drastic change in mood seems to be getting worse. Kikan hates that, and doesn't know why he's acting like that.

Kikan was ready in a white dress, with embroidery along the edges. He looks stunning. But he also felt a little tight on his waist.

The trip was only short-lived as the dinner party was organized just a few blocks from home. Kikan's spirit waned a little and was replaced with a feeling of panic, when he realized that he was not ready for this. Kikan wants to help Rey. That's what caused him to come to the party tonight. But he is not ready if the marriage is publicly known. If he gets congratulations from someone who is completely foreign to him, maybe he will cry immediately, his emotions are still too vulnerable in recent days.

They've stepped out of the car in front of Rey's business partner's house. When Rey got off, she whispered to Kikan, "Don't be too nervous, I'll always be by your side."

Kikan threw a smile of thanks towards Rey. "I feel like I'm going to cause a stir when the guests there see us coming together."

" What's the matter?" rey asked "We're married"

" But our marriage is closed, not many know we're both married."

" It's a great opportunity to announce our marriage" Rey said with a smile.

Rey can always make Kikan feel calmer, he links his fingers with Rey's fingers, gradually starting to feel more confident.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the venue, many eyes were on them. It seems clear they are wondering, because Rey has never brought a couple in official events. The host approached them. "It's good to see you in attendance."

"I'm also happy to be here,"

Rey introduces Kikan. "This is Kikan my wife,"

" Hello madam Stinson I'm Johan fuller" he said kindly as he reached out.

" It's good to meet you" Kikan said as he received Mr. Johan's hand.

"I like surprises. I can't believe you're married to Rey, there's been a lot of rumors going around that you're not ready to get married. Because of the many women, none of them managed to interest you."

"Maybe I'm waiting for the right person" Rey replied.

" We have known since sitting in High School" said Kikan.

" Kikan was my first love, and now it has become my true love." Rey replied while looking at his wife. Rey's reply made Kikan's face flushed.

Mr. Johan laughed at hearing that. "It's worth it." he said.

Kikan's feelings become lighter, due to the host's good reception, and the whole event goes smoothly, Rey introduces Kikan to her friends' neighborhood. Except for Cindy's presence, Rey's date is in the blue lake first.

"Why did Cindy get to participate in this show?" ask Kikan.

"You know, you sound like a jealous wife? Are you jealous, Luv? I find it very pleasing, considering it all proves you love me."

"Don't start laughing too fast because I'm not at all like that."

"No?" ask Rey.

Rey smiled happily at Kikan, teasing him all night.

Rey's joy irritates her, but there's no anger in it, she trusts Rey so much. It's just that she remembers Cindy sitting on Rey's lap at her birthday party. Kikan's emotions are going up and down like they are now.

Rey tilted her head slightly, as Kikan turned her face away from the emotion. "Do you challenge me to kiss you now? So I can prove to Cindy you're the only woman in my life. I'm sure you're challenging me!"

Kikan's eyes turned back to Rey, but he could do nothing but snort at Rey's absurd words. Rey's eyes looked shiny, no doubt she was holding back a laugh. What Rey did! It's impossible for Rey to be serious. But Rey swiped the man's cheek against his cheek, right in the middle of the crowd.

"Rey...?" exclaim Kikan shocked.

"What...?"

Supposedly, it should not melt because of that unexpected touch. Is he really destined not to be able to resist Rey's charm. Rey advanced her body, she instantly drifted away, while her mind could still think of doing so. But Rey wouldn't let him. In fact, Rey moved closer and closer, Rey's mouth chasing her mouth, until there was absolutely no accident in the kiss! He thrashed, even though his nerves felt chatty. Rey kissed him deeper. Quickly, he felt he no longer cared about his own rejection.

But, in desperation, the kikan managed to let go of their mouths to say, "You're going to cause a scandal!"

"I'm sure it's comparable to what I got," Rey said gently in Kikan's ear. "But, that kiss will only cause a small stir and can be very understandable, because everyone already knows we're married."

Kikan nodded at Rey's behavior.

"Why?"

Kikan buried his face in Rey's field. "You embarrassed me" he said.

Suddenly Rey took him around. Rey began to come to everyone around the room, none of whom was missed. From one group to another, Rey stops to introduce Kikan as his wife, Rey does a brief introduction, as if the man is proud of her existence. Makes kikan feel awkward yet flowery.
