My Introvert Husband 3
Exhausted

Ken momentarily picked up his phone which suddenly rang, as there was one call coming in from Papa Gio, Ken moved away from Alana and told her to wait for a while.

just like Jasson, it turns out that Papa Gio called Ken that early only to let him know the news about the Afford company that was collapsing. Again, the smile of victory was on Ken's face. However, Ken pretended as if he didn't know about it.

"Ken, how's your in-laws company?" ask Gio.

"As long as Ken handles work or anything, everything must be running smoothly and in control, Pa. Including Daddy Holmes's company," Ken boasted so much about his business.

"Papa's son." Gio's voice sounded interspersed with a smile.

"Did Uncle Afford ask Papa for help?" ask Ken.

"Where dare he!" gio Saut.

"Hopefully, in this world no one will help him, so that Uncle Afford's family can feel what Alana and Daddy Holmes feel!" Ken brushed his hand with a fury. His jaw hardened when he recalled that Afford had once put his Papa company on the verge of trouble. Not only that, he was also upset about the company owned by his father-in-law who was deliberately sabotaged by Afford who had a sly brain.

"Ken, you can't pray bad things to others like that!" gio.

"Sorry, Pa. Ken got carried away with emotions, Ken just did not expect the bad nature of Uncle Afford's family that we have known for a long time" said Ken.

"Yes, Papa knows, son. But you can't pray such a bad thing!" gio is back.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Pa."

"Yes already, Pa. Ken ended the call first, because Ken wants to accompany Alana," said Ken. Gio agreed, then, the son and father immediately ended the voice call.

Ken came back to Alana who was waiting for him. Then, he takes her to the front of the villa, but Alana is still preoccupied with worrying about her uncle's family, making the woman pensive, even though Ken is upset when he asks, alana did not respond at all.

"What is this about you?" ask Ken. Alana just shook her head.

"Let's sit here!" Ken pulled one of Alana's hands and invited her to sit in the long chair in front of the villa.

"Speak, what's wrong with you?" ask Ken. Alana was silent.

"Where?"

"Ken, is it true that Uncle's company is in trouble?" ask Alana.

Ken was silent for a moment looking at the two beads of Alana's eyes in turn. "As you heard from Jasson earlier," he said.

Alana turned her gaze blankly, as if it was a burden on her mind as well.

"Darling.." call Ken.

"You're thinking about Uncle Afford?" ask Ken. Alana nodded.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ken, Uncle Afford my family, Big Brother from Mami, obviously I think about it!" alana.

"They never considered you family!" exclaim Ken.

"Don't you remember how Uncle Afford and Caleey treated you?" ask Ken.

"Ken, I've forgotten all that! I just feel sorry for Uncle, Uncle must be confused like Daddy at that time," Alana said with two teary eyes as she recalled the time her father's company was in trouble.

"Why do you feel sorry for a sly person like your uncle? you should feel sorry for Daddy! Do you know, if Afford's already-" Ken suddenly did not continue the next sentence, to make Alana frown curious. Almost, he failed to tell Alana that Afford was the one who caused chaos in his father's company to go bankrupt.

"Why, Uncle, Ken?" alana asked curiously, she put her ears on well, hoping Ken would finish his unresolved words soon.

"Ehm, it's okay..."

"Uncle Afford Company, just a little down, you don't think too much about it, your Uncle is very good at doing business, this kind of thing is common in the business world, so he can certainly overcome this problem," said Ken, he spoke like that because he tried to calm Alana so as not to think too much about it.

"Is it really like that?" ask Alana.

"Yes, Honey. Don't think about it too much!" ken. He pulled Alana's body into it and put a touch on her head.

"Why are you so innocent, still thinking about the people who have hurt you? maybe you can forgive and forget Afford's bad behavior, but not me!" muttered Ken inwardly as his lips touched Alana's forehead. Ken recalled how his heart felt tight when he saw Alana crying at that time, making himself repeatedly swear to avenge anyone who hurt his wife.

Ken momentarily let go of his embrace. "Let's go there." he took Alana to the park beside the Villa. Alana assures, they both walk hand in hand towards the park, a sight so cool in the eyes.

Alana enjoys the morning atmosphere there. The smell of wet soil due to rainwater spray last night, so concentrated in his sense of smell. Alana inhaled deeply the morning air that had not been polluted, the smell of rain became a very pleasant smell Alana, after the distinctive smell of her husband's body.

Ken hugged Alana from behind, giving her some kisses on her head. However, they are suddenly surprised by Jesslyn and Kimmy, who are so excited to ask to go to the beach.

Actually, Ken was so reluctant to go to the beach. She still wants to be with Alana. But how else, Alana has agreed to Kimmy and his sister's request to go to the beach.

"It seems necessary to honeymoon so that no one interferes.." said Ken with annoyance.

"Jesslyn, didn't you take Miss Valerie to the beach?" ask Alana.

"Valerie doesn't want to, she wants to order her things to get ready to go home" Jesslyn said.

"Oh, okay."

"Please wait here, I'll take the others." Ken bounces off to enter the villa and calls Jasson and the others to take them to the beach, before Ken returns to meet Alana, Jesslyn and Kimmy. But he came back only by himself.

"Where are the others?" ask Alana.

"Ashley and Jasson are waiting for David, and they'll catch up!" answer Ken.

"We're on foot, brother. The beach is not too far away" Kimmy suggested.

"Yes, just walk.." - Timpal Alana.

"All right..."

The four of them passed by leaving the Villa walking together while chatting towards the beach.

Ken was seen holding tightly to Alana's hand, as if he did not want to go far from the woman he loved. They both walked behind Kimmy and Jesslyn. However, only half the journey, Alana's breathing felt so dull that she suddenly stopped her footsteps.

"What's wrong?" ask Ken. His footsteps stopped too.

"Ken, I'm so tired." - stirred Alana with a powerful voice, holding her waist.

"Till in a minute, come on..." Ken pulled Alana's hand. Alana brushed it off.

"I'm really tired." Both of Alana's eyes glanced towards the rattan chair that was at that time near her reach. He immediately sat his body on the rattan chair while stomping his legs which he felt so tired.  Ken followed Alana and approached her, his burly hands giving a small massage on her feet.

Meanwhile, Kimmy and Jesslyn, they stop their footsteps and turn around when they feel that Ken and Alana are not behind them.

"Sister... Alana... Come on." Jesslyn shouted with her loud voice.

"Just a minute" said Ken. Because of curiosity, Kimmy and Jesslyn immediately approached Ken and Alana who were sitting on the rattan chair.

"Sister, Alana, why are you sitting?" ask Jesslyn.

"Yes, why stop?" ask Kimmy.

"Alana's exhausted" replied Ken.

"I'm so tired." said Alana.

"Gosh, we just walked, you're exhausted! You're so much better off using a car!" Jesslyn.

"Let's Alana we continue the journey, soon we will arrive, later rest on the beach alone while sunbathing," he added.

"Jesslyn, don't force it! You and Kimmy walk first, and Brother and Alana will follow" Ken ordered.

"All right..." Jesslyn was a little disappointed.

"After you arrive at the beach, wait for Brother! Don't play in the sea if the waves are big. And don't go anywhere! Do you understand?" ken.

"Ehem, we understand." Jesslyn said. He pulls Kimmy by the hand and leaves Alana and Ken for the beach first.

Ken watched Alana who looked completely exhausted, he rubbed the sweat that was pouring on Alana's forehead with his palm. "Aren't you tired?" ask Ken.

"Still." Alana grunts little.

"There's no shop here." Ken looked around, but all he saw was an old, uninhabited building and empty land there.

"What are you looking for in a store for?" ask Alana.

"Buy you a drink." replied Ken.

"I'm not thirsty, I'm just tired" said Alana.

"Usually you walk from the store to the house that is 4km away you are able to without complaining tired at all. Then, why now walk from the villa to the beach that covers a distance of not up to 100 meters you have complained tired?" ask Ken.

"Why really? you want to tell me I'm old? go out there, leave me alone!" yelled Alana in annoyance.

Ken frowning. "Why are you getting angry? I'm just asking!" abugn.

"You're a bitch!" exciting Alana.

"Infuse?"

"Yes, you're a bitch! You think I'm pretending to be tired?" exciting Alana.

"Go away, leave me alone here!" he nodded with annoyance.

"Who doesn't believe me, are you tired?"

"I believe it, baby! I'm just asking" Ken said, wiping Alana's head.

"Not be angry! Come on, I'm carrying." Ken sat crouched back to Alana and bowed his back right in front of Alana.

"No, just like a child!" exciting Alana.

"A little boy!" gerutu Ken's.

"What are you talking about?" Alana glared her eyes at Ken.

"No, don't say anything" Ken argued.

"You think I didn't hear? you're obviously talking!" exciting Alana. Ken undoes his intention to greet the words of Alana because if he loved her, it would be long and widened everywhere. Ken chose to silently look at Alana and sighed harshly. He did not want to argue with his wife.

"What does he want?" muttered Ken while shaking his head in confusion, but he held back his regret.

"Don't get angry, I'm getting anxious." Ken hugged Alana tightly with so much anxiety. Only this way Ken thought was able to cool his wife's heart. Evidently, the look on Alana's face that was initially upset, now appears to curl her smile with a face that meets red.
