TUKS!

Glenda put one plate of the last meal on the table. Malvin was silent watching all the food in front of him. "Please enjoy" said Glenda. Malvin looked up at the fat woman who had just spoken. "You cook this much just for the dinner of the two of us?" Ask.

"Because I don't know what you like, so I just cook all the menus. Besides, last afternoon, Dallen didn't specify what dinner I should cook for tonight's dinner." Glenda Clear.

"Next time you have to ask me about the dinner menu you're cooking!"

"I'll remember that."

"You can sit down" said Malvin. Glenda pulled a chair facing Malvin, turned the plate and wanted to fill it with the dishes she made. "Oh, and one more thing! Call me sir. Because from today you work for me." Malvin.

"Good sir." Glenda Sahut. The next second the two of them started to get busy enjoying their dinner, not a word was thrown from each other's lips. Only the sound of the clink of spoons and forks was heard adorning their togetherness until their dinner session was completely over.

Malvin grabbed a glass and gulped it slowly until the contents were completely finished, then he turned to grab the tissue to wipe his wet lips. Glenda in front of him was still silent watching Malvin sitting in front of him, he was waiting for the next response from the man.

"Your food is good." Praise Malvin. Glenda flashed her smile upon hearing Malvin's words. "Thank you" he answered.

"Tonight I will go to bed early because there will be an important meeting tomorrow morning. You can sort all this out after that whatever you want to do. You can watch television or go to sleep as long as you don't bother me." Malvin moved from his seat.

"Good sir."

"Alright, then I'll excuse you. Don't sleep too late because your work starts early tomorrow."

"Yes." Yeah."

Glenda clenched her hands, tightly clutching the remote control within her grasp. "How dare he smile and act ordinary as if nothing happened, while my mother and I had to suffer the consequences of his actions." Glenda close her teeth, his emotions instantly increased when he saw the man who had ruined his life smiling so widely and behaving as if he had nothing wrong. "I won't stay silent. One day, I will repay you for all you doings! For now, I'll let you have the upper hand. But when the time comes, I'll have you all destroyed, as ruined!"

Calm. No other sound was heard interrupting the night, just the ticking of the wall clock, which was very slow. The night was getting late, even the clock on the wall had already shown twelve o'clock in the night. Malvin sleeps in his sleep in a thick blanket of warm that covers the body. His sleep was suddenly interrupted when thirst approached his throat, Malvin opened his eyes, slowly came down from his bed to fetch water in the dining room. Arriving outside the room, he stepped up to the elevator and went down to the second floor.

Arriving in the dining room he immediately grabbed a glass and filled it with water. His attenuation was suddenly seized when he felt a tremor from the floor he was stepping on, Malvin stared at the glass filled with water in his grasp. The water moves from one side to the other. "earthquake?" Malvin murmured softly, he was silent for a moment trying to feel his vibration once again. Slowly faintly, he could hear an irregular roar of breath coming from Glenda's room not too far from the kitchen.

Malvin put his glass on the table, he stepped slowly towards Glenda's room and fell silent in front of the entrance. Right in front of the entrance, the tremors felt increasingly clear. "His tremors are coming from inside here, what is he doing?" Malvin murmured softly. Glenda's bedroom door opened slightly, revealing a gap that allowed her to look inside her room. Glenda was not in her bed, not knowing where the woman was. But surely the longer, the more the vibration felt. Malvin who was curious then pushed slowly the door to reveal the entire room, in there he could see clearly Glenda who was jumping up and down repeatedly, it made the floor vibrate.

"What are you doing?" Said Malvin who immediately made Glenda surprised, he reflexively stopped and turned to Malvin who was standing in the doorway. "T-sir.." he muttered softly. "Why haven't you slept all these nights?" From Malvin's tone of speech, Glenda was able to conclude the man seemed annoyed at this moment.

"A-ah, that's.I'm exercising so I can be skinny." Glenda muttered while lowering her head. "What?!" Malvin couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Tomorrow I will be very busy so I will not have time to exercise, so I decided to exercise tonight. Plus, I'm having a lot of thoughts, if I just shut up. I won't be able to sleep." The answer.

"Jeez.." Malvin shook his head slowly. "I told you not to sleep too late, don't you understand? And I also said not to do anything that bothered me. This is the one I call annoying!"

"Pardon me…"

"Now you sleep and rest! You just got out of the hospital, don't do things that trouble me! Understood?!"

"Well, I'm sorry again…"

"Don't do it again! If you want to exercise better do it in the morning outside the house! It'll be better for you!" The drill.
