Not the Idle Wife
Chapter 44

Jelita tried to close the door with all her might, and Gavin tried also to hold the door closed. As Gavin was stronger, Jelita finally relented and finally released her hand from the door and walked towards the bed. Jelita threw her body sitting on top of the bed with her face bent and arms crossed at the chest.

Gavin sighed and sat down beside Jelita very carefully.

"Jel, I'm sorry! I was yelling at you" Jelita did not answer at all. The woman turned her back to her husband.

Jelita was slightly jolted in shock when suddenly both of Gavin's hands hugged her waist from behind and the man's chin was placed on her shoulders.

"Aren't you going to forgive me, hum?" gavin's voice sounded very soft, completely different from before.

"Mas, get rid of your hands!" jelita's voice sounded very cold.

"No way!" reject Gavin firmly.

"Why? is it because you're afraid that all of your parents' wealth will fall into my hands? if it was because of that, you just calm down, I wouldn't take even a hint of your treasure," Jelita's voice sounded even colder.

Gavin was unmoved, not intending to respond to Jelita's remarks. The man just tightened his embrace.

"Let go, Mas ihhh! Jelita tries to pull Gavin's hand out of her arms. But as usual, he lost strongly to Gavin. Finally again the woman, stopped her efforts to escape from Gavin.

"Mas, now what do you want? you've heard that I don't intend to take your treasure. I accepted marrying you, just because I couldn't bear to see my mom pleading while crying. At first, I had no intention of inheriting it. I swear by anything, even when I agreed to accept this marriage, I didn't know that Papa and Mama had a big company. I chose to stay in this marriage, even though you always scolded and insulted me, it was all because of Mama. I feel like I still have my mom, with Melinda loving me. But now it seems like I've started giving up. Sari was right, you can't possibly love a woman like me. If you want to split up, that's okay. I will leave, without demanding anything from you. But only one that I ask, allow me to keep calling your mama, 'mama', " said Jelita at length with cheeks that had been flooded with tears.

Gavin suddenly released his embrace and turned Jelita's body to face him. Gavin even gripped Jelita's shoulder.

"No! I don't want to be separated at all! I am not afraid of losing treasure. What I'm afraid of now is losing you. I'm afraid I can't see your laughter and hug you again" Gavin said in a fiery tone and hunting breath

Jelita stunned, silent a thousand languages. She tried to digest what Gavin, her husband, said.

"Why are you silent? aren't you going to respond to what I said just now?" asked Gavin with a slight shock to Jelita's shoulder

"Jelita, now that you look me in the eye, what do you see?" Jelita did what Gavin told her to do. Jelita stared at the brownish-black bead of eyes, deeply. .

"What do you see?" Gavin repeated his question.

"Nothing! all I saw was a bead of blackish-brown eyes and there was my shadow there." replied Jelita, as it were.

"God! isn't that what I meant?"rutuk Gavin, who became annoyed at Jelita's innocent reply.

"So what? I'm being honest. What I saw was what I answered. Do you want me to answer that I saw a diamond there?" jelita.

Gavin exhaled and scratched his head which was not itching at all. He did not know if his wife was pretending not to know what she meant or not to know.

"Jelita, you know, all the lies and what a person feels can be seen from the look in his eyes even though they cannot be seen with the naked eye. You can also see the sincerity of a person from his eyes."

"Yes I know. I saw that there was love in your eyes, but that's what I thought. Not necessarily what I think is true or not" said Jelita who unfortunately only dared to say in his heart.

"Hows it? do you understand what I mean?" Gavin asked again and Jelita shook her head.

"Araghh! can't you see and feel that I love you?! do you remember what I did all this time? I'm not ashamed to admit that you're my wife, I don't like it when you laugh with other men even if it's my own best friend Reynaldi. I was really angry when you were with Denis! just so you know, I'm angry not because you feel like you're stepping on my pride, but I'm jealous, you hear, I'M JEALOUS! do you know why I am jealous? it's because I love you, I LOVE YOU JELITA!" Gavin's voice, thundering filled the room, while shaking his wife's shoulders.

Jelita blinked her eyes, gasping in shock at Gavin's outburst of emotion as she expressed her feelings. The woman did not expect that Gavin could be so fiery.

"Why? why are you silent? if I don't love you, I don't care if you want to be touched by any man, you want to be with any man. Can't you feel it? huh! I touched you, not because of na*fsu, but because I love you. If it's just because of na*fsu why didn't I do it in the first place? can't you think of getting there? huh!" gavin's voice went out of control.

Jelita did not answer anything, but the woman slipped a smile on her lips. Jelita suddenly hugged Gavin and buried her head in the chest of her husband's field, feeling the warmth of the husband's body. Then the woman looked up to be able to reach out to Gavin's face that looked sour.

Gavin shook his head, hearing Jelita's words. Instantly she felt embarrassed, so remembering how emotional she was when expressing her feelings.

"So you can feel it?" Jelita nodded her head, trying to hold back the laughter of seeing her husband's upset face.

"So why are you pretending you don't know?"

"And I told you, if I wanted to hear from your mouth," replied Jelita casually not feeling guilty at all.

"Araghhh! you yes ..." tinge of red instantly adorned Gavin's cheeks like a boiled crab fresh out of a pot.

"So how, don't you want to ask me how I feel?" it was Jelita's turn to ask.

"No need! if you don't love me yet, I will force you to love me" replied Gavin, who made Jelita pursed her lips, annoyed.

"So, it turned out like that?" chirps Melinda who turned out from earlier was standing in the doorway and heard all the talk of the child and his daughter-in-law.

"Mama!" call both at the same time.

Melinda swung her legs over Gavin and Jelita with a smile on her lips. Suddenly Melinda's hand swayed and pulled Gavin's ear.

"Oh, ouch, sick, Mah!" Gavin squealed in pain.

"You, yes, you used to be evil and like to curse Jelita." said Melinda while releasing her hand from her son's ear. Gavin grimaced in pain while rubbing his reddened ears.

"Yes,Mah. He didn't even give me a penny. I borrowed 10 grand for the freight so he didn't love," Jelita was getting heated up.

"What's? you yes!" Melinda again swung her hand, about to hit the son. Luckily, Gavin dodged. Melinda did not stay silent, she chased after the child.

"Dear, help me!" pekik Gavin asks Jelita for help. However, Jelita did not help but she laughed out loud, seeing Gavin's suffering.

"Udah ah, mama's tired." Melinda landed her body sitting on the bed while adjusting her wheezing breath.

After a while, the middle-aged woman then smiled and looked towards Gavin and Jelita.

"But now that you're relieved, you two already love each other. So all the lies you've done, Mama I'm sorry. Mom wants to go home first, yeah. Mama had lunch at home," said Melinda, who was peppered with a little tapering.

"Good, Mama! i forgot! Mama's coming home, I'll cook now!" said Jelita who immediately felt embarrassed.

"No need, my dear! Mama wants to go home because she has something to take care of." Melinda held Jelita who was about to step away.

"Right, Mah didn't pa-pa?" jelita asked with an unpleasant facial expression.

"Udah, mama's not pa-pa. My mom is not hungry either. Mom go home first! you guys are fine!" Gavin and Jelita step out to deliver Melinda.

Just 5 minutes Melinda came home, someone pressed the bell.

Gavin steps in to open the door, without peeking at who is coming, because he thinks his mother is coming back.

Gavin gasped in shock when he saw that the one who came was not his mother, but Denis.

"Hi, Vin!" greet Denis while slipping a smile on his lips.
