My Sweet Leaning Husband
Not pretending

“Mommy wants us to stay home. Are you not a problem?” asked Cheryl that afternoon to stop by the cafe and talk to Orion.

Orion actually still feels awkward dealing with Lusy, but it is impossible to also refuse for fear of being considered rude.

“I'm fine,” Orion replied. It is not good to refuse anyway.

Cheryl nodded her head, then said, “OK, I'll go home and get you a change of clothes. Later I will go to Mommy's house first, the night I invite you to make it there.”

“Are you not tired of going back and forth. Later I can take a taxi there,” reply Orion, do not want his wife exhausted if continue to drive to and fro.

“No, you take it easy,” Cheryl said.

Orion was talking to Cheryl. Gaby who that afternoon wanted to visit Orion, had to see how close and attentive Orion was to Cheryl.

Gaby stood not far from the cafe, looking at Orion who was paying attention to Cheryl, even the young man rubbed Cheryl's hair and there was a smile on his face.

Gaby clasped tightly to the bag strap that crossed in front of the chest, then chose to turn around and not so met with Orion.

Cheryl returns to her parents' house first, so that Lusy is not anxious and afraid that she will not come.

“You're on your own, where's your husband?” lusy asked with a suspicious look. He stopped Cheryl who had just got out of the car.

“Ion is still working, Mom. So I come first, later after work, I will pick her up,” Cheryl replied out of the car while carrying a paper bag containing her husband's clothes.

Lusy frowned, why was Orion working while the young man was still in college.

“Work? What work is he?” ask Lusy.

“So waiters,” Cheryl replied.

Lusy was very surprised, why the young man came to college while working, while knowing that Cheryl could meet their needs.

“He really does what imaging only does,” sneer Lusy while walking in the house with Cheryl.

“Mom, he really works to meet the needs of the house. He never asked for money from me, even I gave him a debit card was not used. He's really in charge, Mom. She never pretended with everything she did,” Cheryl defended her husband.

Lusy is surprised that Cheryl is so defensive of Orion, to judge if Joya's remarks seem right that Cheryl has indeed accepted the young man as her husband.

“Including not pretending that he raped you!”

Lusy's words startle Cheryl, but she tries to act normal with him.

“If it's a different story, Mom.” Cheryl still doesn't want to reveal the truth about who raped her. Only afraid if suddenly his parents or Orion's parents ask them for a divorce, because the baby they contain does not belong to Orion.

“I'm in first, Mom.” Cheryl did not want to talk more, so she decided to go to her room immediately.

At night, Orion had just finished cleaning up the cafe and was preparing to go home.

“I go home first,” Orion said to Bima.

“Oke.” Bima's the one who brought the cafe keys, so she came home last.

Orion exits the cafe, pulls out his cell phone and calls Cheryl. However, before he contacted his wife, a call from Gaby first came in, making Orion choose to answer the call first.

“Gab, what's up?” orion asked as soon as he answered the call.

“Ion!” Gaby's voice sounded so panicked.

Orion is shocked to hear Gaby's voice. “What's up?”

Orion listened to Gaby's voice, then rushed out from the front of the cafe towards the right.

At that time, Cheryl had just arrived at the cafe. He observed Orion running in the opposite direction to the way home. Cheryl was trying to ascertain if what she saw was Orion.

“Where is he going?” Cheryl wonders. He checks his phone, there are no calls or messages, why Orion left and knows he's picking her up.
