My Mom Wants to Mate
53. Secret Room

"Norsk ... Argosweil ... Danieeeel." Karen screams for her husband.

He checked the vehicles in the garage, all intact in place of both cars, motorcycles and bicycles. There was no sign of Daniel going far.

He also suspects a secret room that is always locked tightly. He went there and put an ear on the door.

He took his phone out of his pocket, tried to call Daniel. Yeah, his ear caught the sound of a mobile phone shaking from inside there.

"Daniel! Openup! I know you're in dalem!" Karen screamed while pounding the door.

No answer at all.

"Daniel! I brought a knife! If you don't open the door, I'll ...."

Not long after, the door opened. In a panic Daniel looked at Karen's hand. Only the phone was in his hand, there was no knife at all.

Where's knife? She lying? (Daniel).

With a silly face, Karen smiled. "Hi, Niel."

He immediately pushed the door and forced his way into the room. Daniel held back until there was a push, but finally his baboon-powered wife managed to get into the room.

Karen gave a glance throughout the room that she had never entered. It was so beyond expectations. He thinks this room contains creepy strange objects or perhaps evidence of hidden crimes.

It turned out to be a bookcase filled with comics from all eras, research books and medical journals. Among the books, the largest number is still comics.

Although it was filled with thick and old books, the room looked very clean. Daniel wouldn't let his favorite room get dirty.

Karen also just realized, several times her husband is not seen in another room, must be engrossed with his own world in the room.

"It's a comic!" Karen walked through the shelves blabbering, "Circuits are human heads, hearts are formalized in the dalem jars, pagan items, Indian statues, voodoo dolls, sharp weapons, or treasure. Why didn't Mami let me in?"

On the wall are pictures of Daniel receiving awards and scientific charters he has participated in.

"Wow, you're doing a great job!"

There is a desk and a typical office chair there. There are also laptops and tablets on it.

While still walking around with her amazement, Karen found an old comic that became her favorite. "Do you have Eyeshield 21? Until it's over!" pekik happy Karen.

He ran out and came back with his pillow. Then he took the comic off the shelf and read it while lying on his stomach propped up by a pillow.

Daniel sat on the carpeted floor, folding his hands to his chest. He looked at his wife who was not even bullying. Noticing Daniel, Karen looked back at Daniel.

"What's? Can't pinch your comic? Inget! You used to tell me that I was your wife. Everything in this house is mine. I claim this comic is mine. Can't be angry!"

Daniel was silent, still watching his wife act like a child. Even though he himself is also flirting like a child who asks to be persuaded.

Karen was amazed by the comic, which was full of both the epilogue and implicit images. She enjoyed reading page after page carefully as in almost all of the comic scenes there were implicit scenes behind the main scene.

For a moment he closed the comic and looked at the cover. Her memory goes back to the time of 1st grade High School where she started reading it.

His 'soul' friends thought he was weird. They also forced Karen to replace her reading with fashion magazines and teen magazines that contain celebrity lives. They also always highlight whatever Karen is wearing.

His shoes were once in the spotlight as the edges of his soles blackened. Her hair has always been a conversation. Her hair had become dull and was always commented on by the fake friends. Almost every day Karen became the moons.

Although he was a cheerleader and his academic achievements were quite decent, it did not mean he had many good friends. His friend had a bad influence. In his class, there was also always his rival.

Not to mention among the family, his cousin Mila was also constantly competing.

What a beautiful time should be dark and do not want to be repeated. Maybe that is also what makes the adult version of Karen become haphazard. Her teenage years are less satisfied with things she likes.

Unknowingly, Karen's tears were dripping. The faces of the regulators disguised as 'friends' who managed to turn their teenage years into unpleasant.

Daniel approaches her even though he himself does not know the reason Karen is crying. She used to calm Stella down if she cried even though Daniel's definition of 'soothing' was still a little different from most people's habits.

He told Stella to tell him a story. Not to forget, many tips ala gibah-worship also he gave.

But this time it was very different. The woman crying in front of him was not his sister. Her lips were unable to put out any words to merely entertain.

While reading, he spoke to Daniel.

"You're so lucky to be able to freely practice your hobby, Niel. I used to want to read this comic I can't."

Daniel raised his eyebrows.

"I used to have toxic materials that made my high school days not fun. I love this comic, but I was forced to read alay magazine. When I read comics, I'm called 'freak'. What's wrong with teenage girls liking comics?"

Daniel took a deep breath.

It turns out you had such a depressed adolescence. I thought you were happy to be a popular teenager. (Daniel).

"Niel."

"Hm ...."

"Eat there! Haven't eaten, have you?" karen asked with a fixed view of focusing on the comic.

Daniel hasn't had dinner yet because of his prank. Now that his anger had subsided, his stomach felt hungry.

She left Karen alone in the room.

It didn't take long, Daniel had finished his dinner. He ate very well because he was so hungry.

He also returned to the book room. His wife is still struggling with her favorite old comic.

Daniel sat down on the chair and turned on the tab. He opened up an e-book that he had that would be needed by Kendrik later.

After he finished separating and entering the e-book into his own folder in his tab, he read and separate the journals he had. Theory books related to biology are also separated so that it is easy to find.

Then he went to see his wife who had been silent for a while. It turns out Karen's been asleep with her face covered in comics.

Daniel tidied up the scattered comics and returned them to their original place.

If you like Eyeshield 21 and like to pay attention to images of background scenes, it is impossible for a series to be completed in one night. (Daniel).

He removed the hair covering Karen's face and then covered it. He also fell asleep next to his wife.

At 1pm, Daniel woke up feeling pain in the waist. He was about to move into the room, but it was impossible to leave Karen alone in the room.

"Mrs ... Ren ...Ren ...." Daniel shook Karen's shoulder, but the woman was so sedentary that she didn't wake up. Daniel holds her and moves Karen into the room.

***

Morning time...

Karen wakes up at 7 a.m. Beside him were only bolsters and blocking pillows.

Daniel, of course, was sitting at the dinner table as usual.

With indignation Karen immediately headed to the dining room.

"Koodil! You took me to my room last night? Then you hold me? You're looking for a chance at narrowness, aren't you?"

Daniel glared and glanced at Aunt Sum who was in front of the sink in the corner of the room.

Karen looked at Daniel's glance.

In the corner, Aunt Sum was being hit by a great shock hearing Karen's words.

How angry at being carried? What do-don't they haven't .... (Aunt Sum).
