Not the Woman of Choice
Chapter 3

I felt something strange about Bryan's mas, before marriage he continued to approach in various ways, even he always accompanied me wherever I went, but why after we got married his attitude began to change,he looked so cold as if he wanted to avoid me constantly. Want to say it directly but I feel awkward, fear he misunderstood me later, but if he let me feel uncomfortable, as if I made a mistake that made him change to me.

Not wanting to continue to dissolve in thinking about Bryan mas changes to me, I better busy myself, I have to think positively maybe Bryan was so busy so he did not have time to spare for me ,even though we are a newly married couple.

" Dear, what are you doing here?" Ask my mother-in-law who suddenly appeared while I was cooking in the kitchen.

" I'm cooking Ma again, I'm bored so I'm just looking for the busyness." I said while continuing to cut vegetables to cook dinner later.

" It's the job of the waiter dear, let them cook it."

" It's okay Ma, besides there's a lot of other work they have to do."

This house had three female servants who, each of them already had their own duties.

" I'm sorry, she's a big one.I've banned young lady from cooking earlier." Obviously the maid who suddenly appeared, from her face clearly looks anxiety, maybe she was afraid if she got angry from her mother.

" It's okay, Ma, can I help you cook?"

My mother-in-law was seen wasting her breath, she smiled then nodded slowly.

" But you'll still be helped Ana, Mama doesn't want you to do everything yourself." She then walked away from the kitchen kitchen while I continued my work in the kitchen.

The night had come, all the dinner dishes had been served at the dinner table, I had taken a shower and changed clothes and was waiting for Bryan who had not returned from the office. He should still be on leave but there might be urgent work so today he went to work .

I went downstairs, and saw my mother-in-law sitting on the sofa in front of the television, next to her was my father-in-law who seemed to have just returned home from work, seen from her clothes still wearing office clothes.

" Jeny.here's dear." Mama said as she patted the empty sofa beside her telling me to sit there.

I walked over to both of them and sat down next to my mother.

" Papa take a bath, yeah, this hottie." Pamit papa then moved from his place.

" Bryan hasn't come home yet ?" Ask your mom .

" no Ma, maybe on the street." My answer.

" May be jammed ma."

" Bryan it's like that baby, he's a workaholic.you have to make him to cut down on his work, let him have time for you too ." Mama looks still upset, I just smile and feel moved because mama always thinks of my happiness, she honestly I feel lonely, I should be able to get to know more about Bryan mas more closely, more,but how can I get to know her more closely, while she is always busy with her work.

Me, mama and papa sitting in the middle room, still waiting for Bryan mas who never showed his nose, even though the clock has shown eight o'clock passing .

I started to get nervous, afraid something happened to her. I called her number but was inactive.

" Don't worry about her, she's like it's always coming home late." Papa said, 'Mungin he realized my anxiety.

" we should just have dinner, waiting for it will make us starve later. The boy will definitely be home late at night like he already is." Said mama while moving sei sitting and on the follow-up papa.

" Jen.ayo darling." Take Mom when she realizes I haven't left my place.

" Mama just as papa eat first, later let me just as Bryan just eat it." I said, I felt like I was losing my appetite because my mind was only on my husband, I was afraid something might happen to him.

" Yes, but if you're hungry, don't wait, just eat it." Papa.

I nodded slowly in response, while my mother still looked annoyed that her son did not come home either .

Time continued to run, it did not feel it was twelve pm, but the Bryan mas has not yet appeared himself , the phone was still not able to connect. Whereas. My two in-laws they're already asleep, maybe they're used to Bryan's car coming home late. But not with me, I feel uneasy, my feelings are not good.then I just feel worried about my husband.

The door opened very slowly, I heard it, but I pretended to sleep while my eyes were slightly open to see Bryan who had just entered the room. It was fortunate that this room was dark, so he didn't realize that I was watching it secretly.

" Yes, this is when I entered the room.I want to take a shower first, I'm very tired." He said to someone through a telephone connection, his way of speaking is so softly affectionate. Who's behind the phone, I'm so curious, I feel like there's something hidden from me. Wanting to go straight to her but afraid that she would get angry with me and accuse me of being presumptuous, I better keep pretending to sleep, I'll find out tomorrow.

I feel like he's sleeping next to me. To be honest I feel sad as a newlywed we should have enjoyed the good times together, but he was so cold to me. My memory goes back to the times when she kept chasing me and kept convincing me to accept her love.

Our meeting was so short, only three months at that time I was working in one of the companies that turned out to be a branch of his company accidentally hit his body when we passed each other in the office corridor. At the time, he was visiting a branch office.

At first we were mediocre, there was no interest between us, but for some reason two weeks after the incident he suddenly came back to the office and approached me. I know myself to keep avoiding him but the more I avoid him the more he approaches me the various ways he does to get close to me. Until one day when Aunt Mia was in the hospital and needed treatment, she showed up as our helper, which was indeed the time when we were in need of a fee for my aunt's surgery.

From then on we started to get close, I was introduced to both of his parents who openly accepted my arrival. Even his parents came to Aunt Mia to propose to me, he was the only one I had in this world.
