The Cold Wife
Chapter 35

"Are you tired?"

Sweet was quite surprised to hear Alex's voice when he just came out of the dressing room. Then she went to the dresser, and sat there gently combing her black hair.

"I asked," continued Alex walking over to Sweet. Staring at the shadow of the girl behind the mirror. Playing Sweet's long hair with his fingers.

"I'm tired" said Sweet getting up from a sitting position. Sweet chose to lie down on the bed. Because the moon is coming, his body feels weak and very lazy to move. Hunger suddenly disappeared, maybe the existence of a new person makes him feel awkward. What's more seeing Arnold's attitude to him, very similar to Alex's attitude.

Sweet pulled the blanket over his body. "You haven't eaten yet, don't bother me anymore" Alex said, pulling the blanket violently.

"Let me rest, I'm tired." Sweet closed his eyes. Alex is upset with Sweet's rejection.

"Wake up, otherwise I'll eat you now." Alex's threat was completely ignored by the girl. Feeling annoyed, Alex immediately pulled Sweet's hand to sit down. The girl sighed in annoyance as she opened her eyes.

"At any time you'll hear what I'm saying, Ana. I'm sick of your defiant attitude" hearing that Sweet looked directly at Alex sharply.

"There is no reason for me to hear what you say. I'm nobody here" Sweet's circus out loud.

"You're my wife and I...."

"My husband? That's what you're trying to say, isn't it? I'm also sick of hearing all that, even this marriage is not at all clear. I never agreed to get married, how could you say I'm your wife. Is a spousal title just enough with a piece of paper, without a real sacred bond? I'm tired, tired of all your games." Sweet vented all the aral in his heart. His eyes began to heat up, about to spill all the pain within the depths of his heart.

All Sweet's words succeeded in making Alex sculpt. It's all true as it is, this marriage never existed.

"You know, I hate it when you touch me at will. I have pride and a limit, I am a Muslim and you cannot touch or touch you without a sacred bond. If your reason is because of the agreement, you're wrong. I never knew about any of that. You're not gonna believe me, because in your eyes I'm just a rolling doll, right?"

Alex was silent again, shutting his mouth. Every word the girl spoke was like a slap to her.

Sweet cried, hoping all this would end soon. If he could, he would go as far as possible. Leaving a world full of deceit.

"Have you talked enough?" Alex pulls Sweet's hand and drags him out of the room.

"Detach," Sweet pulled his hand roughly out of Alex's grasp. Feeling furious, Alex again pulled the girl's arm even stronger. Removing the distance between them.

"I'm out of patience, Anna. Come with me or I'm actually doing that here" he threatened with a sharp look. Sweet turned his face away.

"Remove your tears, don't think I'll feel sorry for you." Alex beats. Sweet chose to be quiet, he really did not have the strength to fight anymore. The pain at the base of his stomach throbbed intensely.

Alex takes off his stranglehold, leaving Sweet still speechless. Sweet closed his eyes, trying to calm his heart. His hand moved to sweep away the remaining tears on the cheek. Then walk slowly down one by one ladder. If I could, I would like to scream with all my might. Releasing the fatigue and pain that always filled the recesses of his heart.

Sweet's footsteps were held back when he saw the dining table that was almost full. Her eyes stopped when her soft eyes were directed at her.

"Anna, join. Let's eat together, "take Nissa with a soft Indonesian accent. Sweet did not respond to the call. It feels so heavy to lift a leg. He was also the center of attention of everyone there. Including Alex who still gave a look like before.

"Show me your respect, Anna." Alex issued the order so loudly.

"Alex, don't be so rude. She's your wife anyway" Nissa looked at Alex pleading.

"I'll do that if you're in his position" said Alex, who managed to get a sharp look from the older brother.

"Stop arguing, let's continue eating you guys," Arnold refs glanced at Sweet at a glance.

The girl's face looked pale, with both eyes glaring. Sweet closed his mouth when nausea suddenly struck. He ran a little towards the back toilet. All of this caught Alex's attention. The man got up from a sitting position and followed Sweet's direction.

Alex was standing on the doorstep of the toilet, and was quite shocked to see Sweet continuously spewing out fluid in his body, all of which he saw from the mirror. "What's wrong with you?"

Sweet immediately raised his hand, forbidding Alex to enter. But the man paid no heed to the ban at all, and approached Sweet.

"Basic fool!" as if Alex is cursing Sweet's stupidity. Hearing that, Sweet rebuffs Alex's arm holding her hair.

"Alex, what's wrong with her?" ask someone who surprised them both. Alex turned his head immediately, getting Nissa already standing at the door. The woman walked over to Sweet who was cleaning her mouth.

"You sick?" tanya Nissa tidied Sweet's hair with gentleness. Again Sweet just shook his head slowly.

"Alex, isn't your wife pregnant?" nissa asked who managed to get Sweet and Alex to throw each other a glance.

Getting pregnant? How could it be, even I never did that. Sweet thought to heart.

Getting pregnant? I've never touched her any further, pregnant whose child? Think Alex.

"I want to go to the room" said Sweet. Leaving Alex and Nissa still standing. Nissa looked at Alex quite intensely.

"You better call the doctor, your wife looks pale. It's possible that my guess is correct" said Nissa smiling happily. Alex did not react at all.

"Don't think anything, he and I never did anything. He has a history of stomach pain" explains Alex who immediately left Nissa. The woman seemed to be thinking hard, trying to digest Alex's words.

They were a couple, but never did anything? That's not possible. I can't understand the relationship between the two of them. Nissa thought from the bottom of her heart.

"Turn warm porridge to the room" Alex orders Gi's butler. The elderly woman was confused, as she had never once entered her master's room.

"Ah, prepare all that. I'll drive him" continued Alex, who just remembered his own ban.

"Good, Sir." The elderly woman rushed straight to the kitchen. Asking the chef to cook his young master's order.

"Uncle, is your pretty sister sick?" ask Dika who is enjoying the cut fruit.

"Yes, Boy. And stop calling her big sister, she's your daughter."

"No way, he's more suited to be my big brother" said Dika casually.

"Alex, are you really married? What is the girl's religion?" arnold looked at Alex full of probes. Nissa who had just sat down also looked at Alex curiously. Milan and Mala just throw eyes at each other. The questioner had no intention of answering.

"I didn't find your wedding news, only your engagement I knew. Don't play with fire, if you don't want to burn, Alex."

"I was never afraid to burn, rather than hands off about what happened to Mom and Dad," replied Alex who immediately left the dining table.

"You'd be disappointed if the case went any deeper, Alex." Shouted Arnold who began to ignite emotions.

"Mas, don't be so hard on him. Let her do what she thinks is right" said Nissa trying to calm her husband.

"Then let it fall into the same abyss as I used to?" ask Arnold annoyed. Nissa smiled sincerely, rubbing her husband's back gently.

"You brother, so your nature is so similar. There's no denying that he's doing the same thing as you, Mas."

"Darling" Arnold grew increasingly upset at his wife's words.

"That's right, Auntie. They are both very similar. Let's see what happens?" keep Mala chimed in.

"Maybe regret," this time Milan also voiced. Tonight the three of them were so compact. Arnold could only sigh heavily.

"So Mas wouldn't mind if Anna kept on being next to Alex?" fishing rod Nissa.

"No, before I know what that girl really looks like." After saying that, Arnold left the table. Leaving behind three women who threw smiles at each other and little Dika who understood nothing. Nissa has heard a lot about Sweet through Milan and Mala. He is very happy that Alex has found a replacement. At least he's relieved, there's a chance Alex will reopen his heart. Although Nissa is not sure about knowing the stubborn nature of Alex who is so similar to her husband.
