My wife Bad Girl
The Seventy One

I went through this day as usual, just can't wait for Richard to get home.

"Oh, you're home?" I took Richard's briefcase and received it from the one he removed from his neck.

"Your bath is ready. I'll warm up the food." Richard went into the room without a word

Fifteen minutes after her, Richard was already sitting at the dinner table. Today Richard came home late. I didn't interfere too much with his work, most importantly Richard gave me the news, so I'm not worried.

"Appa, have you ever met Rosaline's adoptive father?" we've been lying in bed. I decided to ask Richard about dad.

"On our wedding day. What's up, honey? Why did you ask - suddenly?"

I told about father and mother as told by uwak Madin.

"It turns out the world is so narrow, baby."

"Tell me about dad, appa." I got in Richard's arms.

"Rosaline loved her father very much. Mr. Paulo loved Rosaline like his own daughter. From Rosaline's story I can feel them very close."

"Tell me again, appa."

"Great Rosaline with Mr. Paulo. Sarah and Jasmin are more out there and having fun. Although there is sadness in the eyes of Mr. Paulo but Rosaline said Mr. Paulo always smiled at him."

"I think Mr. Paulo educated Rosaline very well dear. Rosaline is a cheerful woman. She's also very good at covering up her grief and is hardworking."

"Have you ever met my father?"

"Mba Rosaline was so lucky to meet dad." I tightened my arms. I wish I could express the sadness I feel.

"You're lucky, too, baby. Uwak raised you well. He poured out all his love for you and Marlin."

"Now you get a lot of love from me, Angel and eomma. Don't be sad." Richard kissed my forehead. That was how I felt when I was with Richard.

"Thank you." I removed the rest of the oar eyes.

"Don't thank me. I'm your husband. We share our joy and sorrow together. Don't bother involving me when you're sad. Understood?" I nodded.

"Sleep. Baby must be tired." Richard grabbed my blanket, put his hand in the blanket and started stroking my back until I fell asleep.

As usual at nine I was preparing to be Angel's pick up. I don't know why I feel so bad today.

I've asked Richard more than five times. I'm afraid she's why - napa.

"Honey it's just your feelings. Your sleep was not good last night. That's why you're restless today." Richard tried to calm me down.

"Yes, you are right. I'll get Angel ready. Good bye, Appa. I love you." I hung up the phone and started to prepare.

Okey, because my feelings are not good, I decided to bring a small folding knife that I slip in my pants. There was an urge inside of me that said I had to bring something to defend myself.

I'm not like Bang Blue and uwak who like to carry weapons anywhere. But today I feel I should bring one.

In my heart I pray this is only because I did not sleep well. May this day pass as well as the days before.
