Serving a Paralyzed Wife
81. Question Glacia

"Narendra's not in the office?" Glacia frowned holding her phone in her ear. "Ah, so. Alright. Let me know when he's back."

He dropped the phone when the connection ended. Glacia sat in her bed thinking. Where is Narendra? Didn't he say goodbye to the office this morning? Glacia was sure her memory was still sharp.

In the middle of his daydream, suddenly the door opened. Narendra entered, then closed the door again with a small smile on Glacia.

He approached Glacia who was unmoved on her bed, then kissed her forehead at a glance. While looking at the man, Glacia asked. "Where from?"

Narendra raised an eyebrow re-enforcing his back. He thought for a moment as he moved closer to the table to pour water into the glass, then drank it slowly and regularly.

"Certainly work?" sahut Narendra half asked. He looked at Glacia who was squeaking at him. Narendra's forehead is also wrinkled. "Why?"

"You're not going to the office."

Glacia's statement made Narendra sculpt. Even so, his face still looked calm. Before long the man chuckled faintly as he walked over.

Narendra sat next to Glacia, he stared back at the woman in a short distance, maybe only about 2 hands long.

"I'm not going to the office. I just got home reviewing a field project outside." Narendra showed me his dirty sleeves. His entire body was also still half wet. It provoked a worried look on Glacia's face.

"You raining?" Glacia watched her husband from top to bottom. Why did he realize Narendra's appearance was so bad?

Narendra himself looked at Glacia fixedly. Without the woman knowing, the corners of her lips lifted thinly. Glacia was unaware that such worries made Narendra feel happy.

"Gosh, why don't you change your clothes? Can you stop by the boutique on the street?" Glacia. His forehead is crinkling deep.

Narendra chuckled, he smiled faintly rubbing the side of Glacia's pale face. "I'm afraid my wife waited too long. No problem, I can change clothes here. Julian's buying all his gear."

Glacia blinked nervously. "Ah, so. Alright."

Narendra never let go of his cold hands. He kept staring at Glacia until the woman was confused about what to do. Glacia almost turned her head in any direction, as Narendra gently held her neck.

The two looked at each other more closely, until a second later Narendra tilted his face and kissed Glacia's lips deep. Glacia pecked, her heart racing almost making her tight.

Luluman and soft suction that Narendra did drain a warm feeling on the cheeks, and spread throughout his body which is now silent without wrinkles.

"N-Naren." Glacia whispered as Narendra paused his kiss, but before long the man returned to scooping his lips more firmly and deeply.

Glacia was only able to remain silent in that cradle. Unknowingly, both hands were on Narendra's broad shoulders, tightly creeping his half-wet white shirt.

Five minutes later Narendra stopped the incident. His face slightly moved away, yet Glacia could still feel the warm breath of the man.

Just moments later Julian came in, carrying a large shopping bag that Glacia had guessed contained Narendra's clothes.

"Master, the shirt." Julian seems a little misbehaved at the closeness of Narendra and Glacia, although he remains professional by not interfering in the employer's personal affairs.

Narendra breathed away as he moved away from Glacia. He nodded at Julian. "thank you. You leave. Today you can rest early."

Julian nodded obediently. "Then I go. If you need anything, call me immediately."

The door closes from the outside. Narendra picked up the paper bag and looked at the contents inside. He then turned to Glacia, which made Glacia instantly aghast in surprise. His expression seemed to be caught watching Narendra for so long.

"I take a shower first. You need anything?" ask Narendra.

Perhaps the man still looked relaxed after what he had done to Glacia just now.

"Ah, t-no. Go awayl. N-no, I mean, take a shower."

Glacia's broken voice made Narendra chuckle subtly. His eyes narrowed to form a crescent moon, which immediately made Glacia flabbergasted because Narendra seemed more expressive.

"Looks like your mood is good?" ask Glacia carefully.

Narendra. "Yes, because of you" he said with a smile. He then stepped into the bathroom, leaving Glacia stupefied with her eyes twitching.

Glacia did not know, inside the bathroom the sweet and warm smile of Narendra faded. The man rested his hands on both sides of the sink, looking at the reflection of his own face in the mirror while smiling obliquely with cold shining eyes.

***

Narendra came out of the bathroom wiping his wet hair with a towel. His clothes have been changed with pants and a long sweater fitting the body. The smell of soap was making Glacia look over. The woman was lying on her bed watching television.

"See what?" Narendra sat down on the chair next to the bed.

While Glacia refocused her attention on the TV in front. "Police found dozens of bodies in the forest. He said they were attacked by wild animals during feasts of liquor and drugs. Strange, why do they have to drink in the middle of the forest? I know because they're carrying drugs, but why in a dangerous place?"

Narendra noticed the grumbling Glacia. He snorted a smile as he grabbed the woman's hand, rubbed it smooth, then stuck the side of her face there. "They're not the ones who can rent a hotel at will. It is natural that they ignore safety only to find the remotest and most out of reach of people."

"Have, don't think of anything that isn't your problem. Have you eaten?" narendra asked. He moved a television channel featuring Korean dramas.

Glacia was breathing. "Eat is still half an hour away."

"OKAY. Want fruit?"

Glacia glanced at the nightstand, more precisely at the fruit plate there. "Melon" he said slowly.

Narendra nodded, draped his towel over his shoulder, then took a piece of melon for him to peel and cut into small pieces. Glacia watched silently, her gaze fixedly staring at Narendra.

Until the man bribed her, Glacia still looked at him silently. Narendra looked back at Glacia with a small smile. "What's wrong?"

Glacia did not answer. He chewed the green fruit in his mouth. Then shake. "none. I just feel my sight is a little blurry."

Narendra knew Glacia was lying. He could see the suspicion in his clear eyes. I don't know what Glacia is doubting, which must be disturbing Narendra.

"Naren" whispered Glacia later.

Narendra. "Yes?"

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Narendra. He looked at Glacia with his face closed. "You mean?" ask slowly and carefully. His gesture turned alarmed waiting for Glacia's next question.

"I mean, you have no other woman after Lizy? I-it .. You know, I'm a little scared because of my old experience." Glacia folded her lips in doubt.

But secretly Narendra just throw a sigh of relief. He thought Glacia would ask about what happened in the forest.

Narendra smiled amusedly. "Deluded you mean?"

Glacia stiffened.

"You just calm down. Right now there's no woman who catches my attention as big as you."

If Glacia knew, he was the one who managed to divert the world of Narendra, also that made him decide to leave the dark world of Wiranata. But, Glacia was also the one who made it back to that dark world.

Glacia scowled and muttered to herself. "Currently? Means the moments ahead ...?"

Narendra, who heard the subtle apron, chuckled. He pinched Glacia's nose. "No one, dear."

Narendra's treatment just left Glacia unmoved. "W-what did you say?"

"Hm?" Narendra raised an eyebrow.

"That's, anu— emph." Glacia was silent because Narendra stuffed the melon pieces, so he was only able to blink, watching Narendra who again laughed.

Damnit damnit! How dare that man play him!
