"Darling," James called out as he walked out of the bathroom. "Geez, stop your tears." He sat back by my side and wiped my tears with his fingers. "You must learn to be an adult and live your new life sincerely. Okay?"
I nodded and it made James smile, then he held me in his arms and gently stroked my back. I can feel the smell of the man's body which spreads the fresh fragrance of the bath soap he uses.
"How now? Is it better?"
"Ep. Ii'm sorry. I just...."
"It's okay. Slowly, until you can accept our marriage and repay my love. Now, please, give me back my embrace. You haven't hugged me once."
Because I don't want to. Because I don't love you....
But free, no matter how hard my heart defies, I must do whatever James commands me, whatever he wills, for my life, for the safety of my life. So, slowly and doubtfully, my hand kept on doing its job: curling around James' waist to make the man smile happily.
"Other times, hug me or return my embrace without having me ask for it first. Can you, right, honey?"
Yeah, even if I had to. I returned obediently.
"Oh, my goodness, I forgot. I need to call the doctor to check on you."
James took his arms off my body, and so did I. He got up and grabbed his phone from the nightstand and made a phone call with a doctor, and asked him to come. Afterwards, she called the waiter from the kitchen and asked him to bring me some warm soup, and also brought him breakfast.
"Rose," he said after putting his phone back. "I'll be here until your medical check-up is complete. But after that I have to go. There was an important meeting with the hotel staff. I can't postpone it. I mean, it's not good to put off work. So, it's okay, right, if I leave you alone?"
Sure oes. Even good. I'd rather be alone than with James and make out with him in coercion. "It's okay. I. I also need a break."
James nodded, then he walked into the changing room and picked up his work clothes, along with his tie and suit. As he exited, he attached everything to the back of the sofa and removed the towel back from his waist. He was naked in front of me. I reflexively lowered my head, not wanting to look at his foreign body that scared me. However, at that moment I was aware of his demands that ordered me to carry out my role well, as a wife who served him.
I turned my eyes to him. "What...is there something I should do? I mean... Shall I help you... get dressed?" I asked while looking at the focus on his face. Avoiding his men.
The man smiled a little. "no need. I can do it myself. You are sick."
Hufft. Thank you, Lord....
"But next time it has to be, yes. If you are healthy again. Okay, Wife?"
Hmm... assholes...!
"Oh yes, dear," he continued while dressed. "If you need anything, you just ask the waiter. I'll ask some people to come here. And if there's anything, please call me immediately."
How do I contact you? I'm throats. "alright. If anything happens, I'll borrow the waiter's phone to call you."
"Oh, my goodness. Sori, sori, I forgot, honey. You don't have a cell phone, yeah. Tell you what, I'll buy you a cell phone. You like-"
Quickly I refused, "No need" I said.
"Lo's? How come? Why?"
"Emm. if I may...."
"M-mmm? Just say it, honey."
"If I may use my own cell phone."
"Your phone? Meanin? You don't have one."
"There was. I left my phone in the apartment."
"Oh, okay. You want me to take it? All right-"
"Take someone," cut me off. "I don't want to trouble you. Or if you can, have Bang Jack drive him here, okay?"
James nodded, but I could see a mystery of his relaxed movements. Mystery that I don't know, what he's thinking.
"alright. I'll tell Jack."
Geck! Geck!
"Excuse me, Young Master," said someone behind the door.
But James was still relaxed, he was wearing his belt. "Wait a minute" he exclaimed as he grabbed the tie, and then put it on in front of the mirror. When he finished, he walked to the door and opened it. There were two waiters who brought food trays. One person brought a bowl of soup and a plate of sandwiches, and another brought warm tea and various fruits complete with a cutting knife. The two servants immediately arranged the dish on the table in front of the sofa.
Perfect. They were shrewd servants, who did the job without the slightest mistake.
"Then send two female servants here to look after my wife, all to clean up this pavilion" James ordered.
The two servants nodded, then withdrew.
"You want me to steam?" James asked.
"No need," I refused. "I can eat by myself."
"alright. Let me get it." James walked over to the table and took me a bowl of soup and brought it to the bed. "This. Spend, yes."
"Thank you."
"Together, Honey. Eat until you're full, yeah."
"yeah. Sure. I'll spend it." I smiled at him.
"good. Have a good meal." She stood back up and went back to the dressing table, grabbed her expensive watch and put it on. After that, he sat down on the sofa and had breakfast.
Finally, his chatty mouth was silent as well.
You're better looking and sweeter when you're quiet. Because if you talk, you always scare me.
We also eat in silence. I'm relieved.
A few minutes later, there was a knock behind the door.
"Come in" said James.
The face of a female doctor lungaya appeared after the door leaf swung open, then followed by Mr. Johnson's face behind him. Both went into the room.
"Good morning, sir," said the doctor kindly.
"August, Doc. Introduce, this is my wife. He's got a fever."
"Oh, you bad guy" commented Mr. Johnson, now my father-in-law. "Don't let him have a fever because you kept him up all night. Hmm?" A satisfied smile expands on his face, as well as on the face of the doctor, he also smiles like a woman who has experienced the beautiful days of the newlyweds.
After the doctor took out the equipment you used to see in the hospital or in the movies and soap operas, the doctor said, "I checked first, yes, Madam. Sorry, I opened a little."
Huh huh? The doctor shifted a little part of my nightgown that covered my chest, even she flicked my hair that dangled forward --to the back of my shoulders. As a result, the red skin of my neck and chest was slightly visible to everyone in the room.
Argha! It sucks!
"Oh my goodness, James. Basic child outrageous," Mr. Johnson again commented.
I'm ashamed.
"Hope to understand, Pa. It's also called the wedding night. How could I possibly hold myself back. My bride is very pretty, isn't she?"
Keep going! Keep on talking. Father and son are the same.
"How, Doc? My wife's okay, right?" James asked after the doctor had done a physical check on my body as a whole, from my tongue, eyes, to my blood pressure, and so on.
Doctor nodded. "It's okay, sir. Madam is just exhausted and needs a lot of time to rest."
"How not to get tired if this wild child is grinding it out. Poor virgin man's son, James."
The child just laughed happily. "Hope to understand, Pa. His name is also young."
Oh, hush...!
"I will prescribe medicine and vitamins to Madam. Please consume it regularly, yes."
And, everyone was watching, while the doctor wrote me the prescription and handed it to James. After that, the doctor said goodbye.
"Where are you going?" ask Mr. Johnson. "It's very neat."
James turned to him. "This morning there's an important meeting, Pa."
"Your wife is sick, James."
"I'm just going for a second, really."
"Hmm, you're this base."
James didn't touch him. "I'm leaving now, yes," he said farewell to me. "There will be a waiter who will take care of you. And I'll have someone to redeem the medicine for you. You're all right here. Just take a break in the room, okay? Listen to the husband. Okay, Wife?"
"Yes." Yeah." I'm nodding.
James smiled right in front of my face, then he kissed my lips for a moment. After that he stroked my head like a loving man, then he hugged me while kissing my forehead.
Waw! Like a very harmonious couple. Very friendly, isn't it?
Mr. Johnson smiled happily at the scene, then walked to the door and out of our room.
"I'm leaving, yeah, honey."
"Ep. Careful, My... James."
"certain." He kissed me again and smiled. "I love you."
Please.go....
