The Bride of the Curse Repellent
Partner

"Mnh ...." Vicky slowly opened his eyes. He was a little surprised to see the unfamiliar ceiling. However, he regained his senses when he looked around him. His naked body was only half covered by a blanket. Instantly his face blushed when he remembered the hot romance he had last night.

"Crazy" Vicky murmured as he covered his own face.

I can't believe I did that last night. It's unbelievable, it feels like a dream. All the burdens of my mind just disappeared. It's fitting that all this time my friends always say that getting married is good, it turns out they are right.

Suddenly Vicky sat down, looking left and right like someone looking for something. "Omong-by the way .. Where is Sherina? She woke up earlier than me, where is she?"

"Eh, are you awake?" asked Sherina who suddenly appeared from outside the room. She approached her husband who was still in bed.

"Yes, just now," replied Vicky a little shyly. He returned to the shadows of the incident last night after seeing the red mark of the kiss on Sherina's neck. And again, now his wife is well dressed with unraveling hair that seems not to be completely dry. He thought, he was sure that Sherina had woken up much earlier.

"Good, I'm done making breakfast. You clean yourself up first, we'll have breakfast together!" take Sherina with a smile. What an interesting sight for him, the attitude of Vicky who is currently shy is very different from Vicky who was so wild last night.

"OK, but ... where was my yesterday's outfit ...?" vicky asked a little confused. He glanced at the floor, the shirt he had taken off and threw it on the floor was no longer there.

"I've washed!" replied Sherina who suddenly pulled Vicky's blanket.

"Hey, you!!" vicky shouted frantically, he was too scared to pull the blanket back to cover his body.

"Hehehe, why? You embarrassed? What part of your body have I not seen or touched?" asked Sherina with a teasing grin.

"I-I'm still not used to it .. So, stop teasing me!" vicky protested, turning his face away.

Sherina chuckled, she grew even more anxious at her husband's behavior. "Haha, alright, I won't tease you anymore. You don't have to worry about your clothes, I've bought you some sets. There's some casual clothes and some formal clothes for you to wear to the office."

"Buy? What time is this? Is there a store open?" ask Vicky to astonishment.

"Ckck, you're the CEO of IT, you should know that buying clothes doesn't have to come to the store. But, even though I use a shopping application, my ordered goods will also not guarantee a quick arrival. So, I borrowed your name. I sent an email directly to the director of one of the department stores, he replied to my email well. It even served me by offering several options at once. And in less than half an hour, the clothes I ordered have been delivered here. Emm .. I also get free merchandise."

"It turns out borrowing your name could have this kind of influence. Directly get a special service that is not possible carelessly others can! My husband is really great" Sherina continued with an awkward smile. Vicky immediately made head bobbles.

"Haiss ... Why don't you just ask Oliver for help? He can bring my clothes here."

"That's because .. I don't want Oliver to know about your current situation. Even if he is your assistant, he is still an outsider. As for your quarrel with mother, it was an internal family matter. I'm not here because I don't trust Oliver, but I don't want to decide anything for you. You may want to keep this matter a secret from her." replied Sherina in a slightly regretful tone. He felt guilty because the actions he took turned out to be inappropriate.

Vicky let out a long sigh, and afterwards smiled faintly. "Thank you, I know your intentions are good. But, next time you can just trust this kind of thing to Oliver. He is indeed an outsider, but all this time he has helped my personal affairs a lot. It's okay if he finds out now I'm leaving the residence. After all, Oliver's not a person who likes to spread the word to others."

"Well, next time I'll remember!"

"Oh yeah, by the way, which department store did you email?"

"Moon Department Store, is there a problem?" asked Sherina a little nervously. He was worried if he had done the wrong thing again.

"Ah, apparently Moon Department Store! No problem, I already know and have a good business relationship with that department store. And personally, I also know one of its major stock owners. It's good you ordered clothes there. If you order at another department store .. I'm afraid it'll make them expect more of us."

"Thank God then." Sherina smiled with relief. Then, all of a sudden he came closer and pulled Vicky's hand. "It's time for you to take a shower! Go, Vicky! Don't delay any more! I need to change the sheets immediately!"

"Replace the sheets?"

"Yes! Have you forgotten?!" sherina snapped with an annoyed face.

"Eh, no-no! Where I might have forgotten. I-it was my first experience .." replied Vicky who blushed in embarrassment. Once again he was made to remember because he saw the traces of love that are still clearly visible in the attached bedcloth. Finally Vicky behaved obediently, he immediately went to the bathroom according to orders from his wife.

Not long after that Vicky had finished cleaning himself. The clothes he was wearing this time were not formal clothes that should be worn to the office as usual. Sherina was again confused by her husband's attitude.

And after they finished breakfast. When Sherina was about to clean the dishes. Sherina suddenly asked, "Vicky, it's not a holiday, are you not going to the office today?"

"I have a meeting scheduled for 3 p.m. And again ... some documents are still left in the reading room of the residence. I've already told Oliver to pick up some important documents. I still have a lot of loose time. So, I want to be here and accompany you first" Vicky replied with a smile.

"Haha, you're this ...." Sherina bobbing head.

"Let me help!" vicky offered to offer himself. He picks up another dirty dish and helps Sherina put the dirty cutlery in the kitchen sink.

"Sherina," called Vicky when she was busy scrubbing dishes with sponges and soap.

"Yes?" sherina said without looking.

"Are you not tired?"

"I mean, this morning you did a lot of things. You woke up earlier than me, made breakfast, cleaned up, and now you're cleaning up. If you're in the main residence, you don't have to bother doing all this. So, I asked, aren't you tired?"

"Pfftt .. apparently about that!" Sherina laughed, she felt that this question of her husband was very ludicrous. "Do you feel sorry for me? Then find me a maid!"

"Eh, if you want to .. right now I'll te—"

"No, Vicky. I'm just kidding," Sherina cut off with a small laugh.

"You're right, if I were in the main residence, I wouldn't have to do any of this. However, even though I now have to do all this on my own, I don't mind. Tired, of course I feel tired. However, this fatigue is more meaningful than doing nothing" Sherina continued.

"you mean? How can fatigue be meaningful?" ask Vicky who is getting confused.

"Certainly meaningful. For example, I take care of the clothes you wear. I cook for you too, and then you praise my cooking. When a loved one enjoys something prepared, it feels good. After all, this is my act as your wife. I will serve you, not just in bed. But, serving here .. means not the same as I am a servant. Haha, I'm not good at explaining this kind of thing. But it's like that."

"...." - ".Vicky was stunned, he thought for a moment to understand what the meaning behind Sherina's sentence was. Then he held his wife's hand and said, "Wait a minute!"

"Eh? Why?" Sherina looked in a daze. Instantly his hands filled with soap became clean by themselves because they were watered by the sink's tap water.

"I want to help you! Help with the dish washing!" vicky answered with eyes full of confidence. For some reason he felt silly on his own, a lifetime as an heir to the Bashara family, this was the first time for him to have any intention of washing dishes.

"Suddenly .. do you feel bad? I told you that I'm not a servant, it's not to insinuate you. You don't have to feel sorry for me, I can do this on my own. Not much anyway ...."

"No, Sherina. I want to help you not because I feel shunned or anything. But I've realized, that husband and wife means to be a partner in life. For things like this, you don't have to do it yourself. I can help, we can work together, because we're partners!"

Sherina was pensive, she was so shocked that all these words came out of the mouth of someone like Vicky. Despite the triviality, Sherina felt touched because her husband had the intention to help. Come to think of it, this was completely different when he became Satya's wife. Which was all the housework she did on her own.

"Well if you want to help, you can put the dishes I've finished washing on the dish rack!" sherina replied with a smile. Her heart is really made flowery because it has a husband figure like Vicky.

Small, but meaningful. Being a partner in life means also being a partner who must be ready to support each other for life. Even if they live in a place that is not as luxurious as the residence, they both feel more comfortable living in this place. The reason is of course because of one thing, namely because there is no noise and commotion from Ariana.

Peace like this feels like Vicky wants to keep forever. For the past 10 days, she has never taken a phone call from Ariana. He knew very well that his mother would want to persuade him to return home. However, Vicky's anger is still not quenched when given the unfair treatment Sherina has been receiving there. If Sherina doesn't come back, then Vicky is the same.

DRRTT

DRRTT

"Darling, your phone sounds" said Sherina, shaking Vicky's body, who is currently lying comfortably with her.

"Ck, who's the one who's been bothering us at night?" lamented Vicky with a sour face. Though he was already very comfortable holding Sherina into his arms, he was already sleepy and longed to sleep.

"Look, maybe it's important!" persuade Sherina who then rose. She took her husband's cell phone which was placed on the nightstand. "Eh .. This is the home phone number."

"Let it go, most of all my mother called. Never mind, you better not serve him again. Let's go to sleep," rejected Vicky who was really lazy.

"Ehmm .. okay." Sherina put the phone back. He also felt that this was just one of Ariana's tactics.

BUZZ BUZZ

BUZZ BUZZ

Not yet had Sherina back to lie down, suddenly this time her cellphone turn that reads. And when he checked, it was still the same as coming from the residence. "Call from home again, but .. tumben this time called my number."

Sherina's premonition suddenly goes bad, with anxious hopes that she decides to pick up the phone call. "Hello?"

"Hello, it's me!" There was the sound of Uncle Will panicking.

"What's Uncle?" ask Sherina.

"Please give the phone to Mr. Vicky! I want to talk important, i-it's an emergency!"

"O-okay," Sherina replied nervously. He then pressed the speaker button so that Vicky could also hear clearly.

"It's me, what's up?" ask Vicky as he sits down.

"Master! Mrs Ariana has been sick lately! But he insisted he would not be taken to the hospital. He just coughed up blood! Now ... he fainted!"

"What?!" exclaim Vicky and Sherina in unison.
