Replacement Bride
The Store's Tragedy

In the morning, Alex was getting ready to go to the office, but when he just came out of the walk-in closet his eyes were a bit squeaky to see his wife, Zoya, who was still laying on the bed with a calendar in his hand, and his hand was counting something. Alex slowly approaches Zoya and sits at the end of the bed, taking the calendar out of Zoya's hands.

''What are you doing?'' ask by looking at the calendar sheet full of red ink graffiti from Zoya.

''I was looking at calculating my fertile period, '' Zoya replied frontally but then she instantly covered her own mouth.

''Fertile times ? what does it mean ?'' alex's eyebrows fused in wonder.

Zoya sighed in relief as it turned out that Alex herself did not understand what she meant. ''Yes?'' call Alex again waiting for Zoya's answer.

''Oohh that, me, me-''

'Ddrrrttt'

Just now Zoya is going to answer it, Alex's phone vibrates on the nightstand which certainly makes Zoya again sigh.''Momentarily dear, said Alex who kissed Zoya's forehead before moving to answer the phone call.

Zoya notices Alex talking to someone over there, her eyes turning to her stomach, there is a sense of anxiety in her, and his hand was involuntarily rubbed his stomach and coincidentally it was seen by Alex.

Alex's lips expanded, now he understood what Zoya meant. Alex immediately closed his call and went back to Zoya, touching her hand that was rubbing the belly of the queen.

''I see you as if you are worried, why?'' ask Alex again in such a gentle tone.

''Alex. I'm not ready, '' said Zoya and Alex smiled gently. ''Sorry.'' said Zoya again because she felt bad about what she said.

''Dear.. I see, you don't have to worry because that night I held him back from throwing him in here.'' Alex said by gently patting Zoya's stomach, ''and anyway we just did it once, ''' he continued.

Zoya listens to Alex seriously, and she can breathe a sigh of relief right now because it turns out Alex can understand her. ''Really?'' Alex nodded and Zoya could smile sweetly at him.

''Then why on this number do you give a red streak?'' ask Alex again.

''That's the schedule for my guest, ''' Zoya replied very slowly because she was embarrassed.

''A guest? who is he, your college friend? women or men ?'' Alex leaned in the question with her tense face and Zoya chuckled softly because of her.

''Already, when will you leave for the office if you still sit here casually, drive Zoya who has risen from her bed and pull spoiled her husband's arm.

''But wait-'' Alex's steps stopped, his eyes continued to look at his wife's body, from top to bottom and implied a strange smirk according to Zoya. ''Why ''Why?'' strange Zoya asks because of Alex's eyes on her.

''You can already walk normally, that means, tonight-'' Alex's eyebrows move up and down giving a gesture that makes Zoya shudder with goosebumps.

''I haven't had a shower, I can only escort you to the front door, you're careful on the way.'' Said Zoya who had closed the door and left a little gap. Alex chuckles at the behavior of Zoya who is impressed still shy of the cat.

''Yes, yes, but don't expect you to escape from me tonight.'' Whisper Alex then who immediately walked away after giving a kiss of air that he showed directly to his wife.

Zoya closes the door and stands behind her, not really expecting Alex to be that aggressive with her, even more so when she remembers how she got to know Alex and married him, his former nature and attitude towards him was even inversely proportional to what he was experiencing at this time.

In the car, Alex's hand may be busy driving the car but he continues to laugh anxiously considering Zoya's facial expression that makes her unable to wait for night.

''Hold Lex, remember you'll have your important meeting, but tonight I make sure Zoya won't be able to escape my little tiger.'' Alex muttered in the car there.

At the office, Mark who had already arrived there, turned his steps to the store in the office because he had not had time to eat breakfast this morning.

After ordering food and coffee, Mark asked the order to come while playing his gadget, from the device he checked all incoming emails, he said, yes, only with his device he can monitor everything without the hassle of having to bring a laptop or other electronic objects.

Because of the focus on the phone screen, Mark was not aware if his legs stretched to the side and made someone fall because he tripped his long legs.

Bruuggh

The screams of pain from a girl made Mark terjangkat shocked, his eyes widened to see a girl sitting under the floor with a face that had been dirty with a cake carried.

''Miss, how did you fall?'' even Mark's question adds to the strange impression because the girl fell because of her own actions.

With a look of annoyed eyes, the girl tried to stand up and clean her face from the piece of cake. ''What is your question that means to be literate?'' ask the cute girl with the hair in the high pigtail.

''Huh? you mean?'' mark's eyes winked several times trying to digest what the girl said.

''Are you not sane! huh!!'' the girl yelled at her feet a few times. ''My appearance is already very chaotic right now, and it's because of you!'' still with a slightly high tone.

''Because me? you fell by yourself, why am I being blamed.'' Mark does not accept his mistake.

''Aaarrggghhh.. It sucks!!Though soon I will meet with my client, '' said with a feeling of annoyance, the girl passed away to the restroom at the end of the tavern, to clean his dirty face and clothes.

''Ck, strange woman.. He fell by himself but I was blamed..'' Mark's grumbling was so upset.

Mark sat back in his chair, and suddenly his phone rang which turned out to be a call coming from someone he immediately wanted to answer and then closer to his ears.
