Only Temporary Wife
25.
Days passed, days and nights changed. However, the married life of a pair of human beings nothing has changed. Marsell was still reluctant to his wife but did not reject anything she gave him. While Meisya has carried out her duties as a wife well, except for one thing that Meisya did not do and it seems that neither will do. It is a husband-wife relationship.
A week after Marsell returned, the Oma was still cold to her granddaughter. Just talking when it matters. Never again showed his attention. Instead, Oma is now more with Nico and Meisya. They are very familiar now.
While the relationship between Marsell and Laura is still running as usual because Laura always threatened to be reckless if Marsell did not contact him. Even now they send messages and call more often. However, why to Marsell all this feels bland. Not like before.
Like tonight, Laura made a video call. Tell me about everything he's been doing all day.
"Darling, did you hear me" cried Laura as she had been talking to herself ever since.
"Yes I heard," Marsell replied with a slight indolence. If you used to see Laura's face can treat her fatigue but now, it feels different. After a day of work, seeing Laura's face actually makes Marsell lazy and sleepy. The woman is still the same, still beautiful.
"Darling if you wouldn't comment on my dress, I just wore it. Am I pretty wearing this." Laura put her phone down and turned around showing her body wrapped in a sexy nightgown. "Marsell why are you quiet, am I not beautiful wearing this." Laura gloomily found no response from the lover.
"You're beautiful as always."
Laura's cheeks met red upon hearing the compliment. "You can always make me happy. I can't wait to see you again. When are you gonna see me again? Oh yeah, I'm going to a concert in LA in a week. You come right, after the concert we'll stay at the hotel of our dreams and spend some time together." Laura smiled at the thought of spending time with her boyfriend.
"I ...."
"Darling, honey you're where it's not seen," cried Laura as Marsell turned her phone the other way.
Marsell turned off his phone without talking to Laura. Then he approached the wife who was picking up broken glass scattered on the floor.
"You okay?" ask Marsell.
"I'm sorry to surprise you, I'll clean this up." There was a strange feeling that had made Meisya's heart throb pain when she heard that the husband would spend time with a lover in a hotel. Though he had used to hear men talking on the phone with his lover but somehow this time it felt very painful.
"Wake up, you can get the waiter to clean this up" cried Marsell who was feeling guilty. I don't know, he also did not understand why when he saw the wife was like surprised to hear her talk. Marsell felt guilty and wanted to explain that her relationship with Laura was not what she had heard. Although they often stay in the same hotel but they are never in one room. Marsell knew his limits, he never wanted to touch Laura before they officially became husband and wife. What they have been doing all this time is hugging or kissing nothing more than that.
Why Marsell now feels that his wife misunderstood him, and why he wants to explain.
"Wake up I said, why don't you listen to me" cried Marsell again.
"It's okay, it'll be all right in a minute. You better not be around here, so as not to be hit by broken glass." Meisya would not listen. He simply did not want to raise his head and the man saw him cry. She herself did not know why she was crying.
"Awww ...!"
