RICH MAN
LYING FOR LOVING


Dinner with his wife is the most pleasant thing for Rey. He was so happy to be home so quickly and have dinner with the person he loved the most.


Served very well. From him waking up from his sleep. Work suit is always neat and fragrant. And breakfast that was never late prepared by his wife. How else could he be thankful to God for such a perfect wife. Especially when pregnant like now is not an obstacle for his wife to meet all her needs.


Dinner was so romantic. He was never absent in accompanying his wife to dinner, although he had dinner outside with clients. He will eat at home with his wife.


Just as Rey lifted the spoon to her mouth, her phone suddenly rang. And Alin's name was plastered there.


“Who, Mas?”


Rey saw Marwa's unusual expression. He also realized that every day the woman followed him to the office. Rey doesn't want it to be a boomerang for her household later. Moreover, it was clearly seen that Alin approached her outrageously.


“Thank you, Mom! Perhaps it is important, pity you!”


Rey puts down the spoon and fork then leaves Marwa alone at the diner. The woman was immediately speechless when her new husband first answered the phone and dodged as he is today. Not as usual, even if the phone was near Marwa. Rey will ask his wife to answer the phone. But what was that? Marwa was silent to see her husband's strange behavior from her speech.


The man realized that his wife might be thinking a no-no with him. He did not want his wife to be jealous. He doesn't like it, however, if Alin keeps coming to his office. This made some people suspicious of him. If it wasn't for the big project Rey has got, then she would never have wanted to be with Alin.


Rey admits that Alin's cooking is delicious. Moreover, he knew that Alin was a chef as well as a painter. Some of the leading restaurants also belong to Alin which he made through his paintings. He was so proud of the independent woman. But when it comes to Alin's behavior to him, to be honest he does not want to make his wife think badly of him.


“Where to?” ask Rey who had just returned after calling and saw his wife who was about to get out of her seat. Perhaps his thoughts about the jealous Marwa were the real thing this time around.


Marwa smiled and showed a beautiful and cute face. Inherited from Rey's mother-in-law. And one day her son will be as beautiful and as good as Marwa. “I'm done eating, Mom. Are you okay with me staying? Let it happen later if you have finished eating you are guaranteed here. I'll wash,”


He is aware that Marwa's behavior is different than before. The woman was still warm, not at this time who seemed to be just pretending. Rey realizes that this is the very thing he fears, hurting his wife just because of a new person. Rey doesn't want to just because of Alin, Marwa becomes a stranger in her life.


After eating, Rey immediately cleaned up the rest of their meal. I don't want his wife to be too tired. Rey again opened her phone after seeing some chat from Alin who was so attentive to her. Start by reminding you of eating and so on.


There is a feeling of anxiety, but how else. Rey did not respond at all. Even after the phone was closed. Lots of chat came in.


After washing the dishes and put the leftover food in the refrigerator. Rey made milk before going to bed to his wife. How does Marwa feel? That was all he had in mind at the time. Guilt is eating away at Reynand.


Bring a glass of milk for pregnant women. For a moment he slowed his pace and opened the door slowly. Realize that the food was not spent by his wife. A few moments later he entered the room. Marwa had gone to sleep, turning off the lights. Not as usual. This time it came again.


Rey went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. The milk he made was put on the nightstand and then passed. Rey placed her phone near the milk she had made for Marwa. Inside the mirror that reflected her body, Rey spoke to herself.


Out of the bathroom, Rey sees Marwa taking Rey's cell phone and she is afraid that there is a chat of sorts from Alin and it makes his wife feel hurt. “What do you do?”


Marwa was stunned to hear Rey yelling just because she was about to pick up a cell phone. Unlike usual, the days that have passed usually Marwa plays Rey's mobile phone and never scolded at all. But this time even Rey snapped at his own wife.


To be honest there was no intention at all of the man was yelling at his wife. Just out of fear if there is a chat from Alin who assorted then make his wife sick. And sure enough after snatching that phone. A lot of chat from Alin let alone accompanied by emoticons love that makes Rey surprised if Marwa saw, surely they both will have a big fight.


Rey stared straight at him then deleted the message sent by Alin. “Why can't you, Mas?”


The woman's voice was raucous, it was a sign Marwa was holding back her cries. “Marwa, I don't mean to be angry, but..”.


“But what, Mas? Can't I just look at your phone?”


“Bby,”


“But why did you snatch me?”


‘Because I don't want to make you cry. Don't want to see you grieve, and there is never any intention I want to hurt your heart.’ Rey said in her heart and immediately approached her then put the phone on the table.


“There are things I have to do, Marwa,”


“What?”


“I got a big project and all that money I will use to buy us a new house later after you give birth to our child. I deliberately did not tell you about the project because I want to give you a surprise,” he said lying. His wife looked into his eyes tightly. Rey lied for the first time. Because he does not want to hurt his wife and make his wife stress. There is a sense that Rey cannot explain to Marwa.
