Kyle came home empty-handed and his face bowed in lethargy. Audrey is gone. And Kyle doesn't know where Audrey's going. No one knows where Audrey is.
Kyle climbed the stairs with a shunt step. The house is also empty. Kyle kept swinging his steps into the room. Maybe Kyle will clean up for a while, then lie alone on his bed.
But just opening the bathroom door, Audrey's shadow had reappeared inside the bathtube. Audrey who was soaking without a thread covered her body, then smiled at Kyle and threw a seductive look at his eyes.
Holy hooch!
It feels so painful.
Kyle misses his wife so much now.
Kyle chose not to linger in the bathroom. The man was about to take one of his t-shirts out of the closet, when a piece of paper accidentally fell from his pile of clothes.
Kyle took the folded paper and opened it. It was Audrey's handwriting.
I'm goin....
Not because my feelings have gone away
But because each one of us
We have to stop hurting each other
- Audrey
Kyle's heart slipped reading a short letter from Audrey.
It wasn't Audrey who hurt Kyle, it was Kyle who had already hurt Audrey and made the woman lose her hope.
If Kyle had listened to Mom and Dad to forget everything about Valeria.
If Kyle had listened to Ben that afternoon and wasn't stubborn.
If Kyle had believed Audrey, who said all her dreams were just flashbacks of what happened two years ago.
But it's too late.
Audrey had even lost her temper against the stubborn Kyle.
Kyle put his tired body on the bed. Turn on the big television hanging in front of her bed, then play the video of her marriage to Audrey over and over again.
Audrey's happy smile on the video warms Kyle's heart for a moment. The promise of marriage that Audrey said so sincerely, also warmed Kyle's heart. But the shadow of Audrey breaking into tears and leaving Kyle felt like a nail that kept piercing Kyle's heart over and over again.
Kyle repeated the video. Continued to follow him until the man's eyes closed, because he felt tired and missed Audrey.
Hurry home, Audrey!

Bali Island
Audrey just came out of the bathroom when Aunt Viola suddenly stood in front of the bathroom door and made Audrey's heart almost jump from its sockets.
"Tante, why surprise Audrey?"
"This is yours?" Aunty Viola asked as she showed Audrey the box of pregnant milk.
Geez!
Audrey must have forgotten to keep it back after brewing milk for her to drink.
"You're pregnant?" Aunty Viola asked once again still staring firmly at the nephew.
"Please don't tell Mama, Papa, or Zayn's brother, Auntie!" Pinta Audrey pleads.
"Papa will definitely tell Audrey to come home and worry excessively. After all, Audrey didn't want Arthur's family to know about Audrey's pregnancy," Audrey answered.
"But you're still Kyle's wife, Audrey! And Kyle is the real father of the baby you're carrying, "Aunte Viola rubbed Audrey's belly gently.
"That's it! If Kyle and his family knew Audrey was pregnant right now, they would definitely force Audrey to return home to Arthur's family home. Then Kyle will return to being nice to Audrey, not because she remembers it or because she's in love with Audrey. But just because she felt sorry for Audrey and wanted to take responsibility."
"What was before was like that." Audrey's voice was slightly shriveled.
"Kyle acted as if he cared about Audrey and played the role of a husband, but Kyle's heart didn't feel anything for Audrey. And in the end it's just like a time bomb."
"Audrey felt disappointed many times over," Audrey's eyes were already glazed over and the woman's voice had already turned soft.
"So you're gonna wait until Kyle's sensitized, then look for you out of his own free will and not coercion from any side, are you?" Aunty Viola asked who understood a little about Audrey's intention of hiding on this island without telling anyone.
"Wouldn't love always find its way and destiny, Auntie?"
"If Kyle is Audrey's true love and the best for Audrey, fate will definitely bring us back together. Without coercion without pressure" said Audrey who felt so sure.
Aunt Viola immediately hugged his nephew tightly.
"All right, if you think so. From this second on, the aunt will take care of you and look after this little Audrey," Aunt Viola rubbed Audrey's stomach again.
"You're finally pregnant! Your fruit of patience is sweet, dear!" Aunt Viola swapped Audrey's forehead.
"Didn't Auntie always teach Audrey to be patient and pray a lot? Aunty used to fight even longer than Audrey. How long was Aunt waiting?" Audrey clasped the aunt's hand.
"Almost four years. Aunty until tired, but Om you continue to encourage Aunt, that the opportunity must be there and will definitely come. And it all ended sweetly after the birth of the nosy Alvin," Aunty Viola's story chuckled slightly.
Audrey chuckles and wipes the tears in her eyes.
"You'd better get some rest, pregnant lady!" Aunt Viola rubbed Audrey's head gently.
"And don't hesitate to tell Auntie if you want to eat or buy something. Later Auntie will tell Alvin to look for her," Aunty Viola's repulsive message made Audrey chuckle a little.
"Then Alvin will grumble," continued Audrey who seemed to understand the habits of the cousin.
"Oh, yeah, are you nauseous or feeling like you're vomiting? Morning sickness?" Aunt Viola asked again a little worried.
Audrey nodded quickly.
"Absolutely not, Auntie! Audrey also went to the doctor yesterday before leaving here, and the doctor said everything was healthy and good" said Audrey who immediately made Aunt Viola breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank God then. Your child's candidate seems very understanding, and maybe he will be as strong as you were when you were born into the world" Aunt Viola said expectantly.
"Hopefully!" Audrey was already lying on top of the bed, and Aunt Viola was tightening the blanket to cover Audrey's body.
"Tante wouldn't read Audrey a fairy tale, would he? Audrey is no longer a seven-year-old girl who likes princess stories to meet princes," Audrey joked a little, considering the moment a few years ago, when Audrey was a little girl staying at the Aunty Viola's house, then Aunt Viola will read a bedtime story to Audrey.
"Of course not! Aunt just wanted to say, good night, dear Audrey! And happy beautiful dreams!" Aunt Viola kissed Audrey's forehead once again.
Yes, even though this niece was already twenty-six years old, but to Aunt Viola, Audrey was still her spoiled little niece.
