The Hated Husband
Dreamtime

The next day...

Wall clock shows at 05am. Mary woke up to the sound of an alarm. Soon she went to the bathroom. After she finished with her clothes, she woke up Sasha who was still sleeping. Sasha woke up and went to the bathroom.

On the other hand, Jo is still asleep. With a bottle of sleeping pills that are always faithful on the nightstand. Jo was dreaming of being somewhere, he was walking in the middle of a vast expanse of green grass, his steps stopped after seeing two red rose stalks in front of him.

"This flower is so pretty."

Jo touched the two flowers with a smile, a moment later he woke up after hearing the sound of a clock. He sat down and rubbed his eyes. He still remembered the dream, yet he did not think too much about it.

"Sorry, there's only bread."

Maria is currently having breakfast with Sasha at a small table located in the living room.

"It's okay, it's still morning."

"Please don't tell Nancy and Jeni about me."

"Yes, don't worry. I'll also tell you that you don't want to tell me. But how are you feeling now?"

"It's better."

After finishing her breakfast, Sasha rushed to go home. He rode the online driver he had ordered.

"Thank you, I'm so glad you're staying over."

"You're like who we've been friends with for a long time. Then I'll go home, Bye."

In the dining room

Jo sat at the dinner table, alone. He did not eat his breakfast, but played it while daydreaming.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm doing my duty as a wife."

"Aish, it's ridiculous."

He recalled the memory of being with his wife, when Mary had breakfast for him.

"Jo. sick.. ah.."

His eyes bulged, finding the virgin blood flowing from his wife's. His two ears seemed deafening, he did not care about his wife who kept crying and moaning to endure the pain he received. Jo did it violently because she was very angry and jealous.

"I'm sorry."

He realized he had hurt his wife, and that regret had happened until now.

J Company

Tok Tok Tok

He opened his eyes, after hearing the knocking of the door.

"Lake in."

Someone outside opened the door and entered the room.

"Good morning Boss."

"Sarah's for one too."

He is a secretary at J Company.

"Boss, you look exhausted. I made you coffee."

Sarah put a cup of coffee on Dev's desk.

"Sit down."

Sarah is shocked, as soon as Dev asks her to sit on the chair and face him. Sarah who is still standing, she immediately sat herself opposite Dev.

"As usual, your coffee is very good" said Dev while sipping coffee made by Sarah

"Thank you for your compliment." Sarah smiled proudly

Dave turned to look at Sarah after putting his coffee mug with a plain white coaster onto the table.

"Sarah, I want to ask."

"Please, what do you want to ask?"

"Have you ever been in love?"

Deg

Sarah's heart jumped out. His heart was beating fast, for a moment his eyes unblinkingly stared at Dev who was staring at him.

"I fell in love with a woman, but she already belonged to another man. We loved each other, and eventually we split up because of the man. But I can't forget it either. What do you think I should do?"

Sarah's heart was broken to pieces, she felt angry, disappointed, and sad after hearing Dev's confession. All this time he had been keeping his heart to wait for this Boss of his to reciprocate his feelings someday. But it seems like it will never happen. Dev never realizes Sarah's attention while at his side.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer. But, one thing I do know. Love must not have. If we love someone, we don't have to get it. But by seeing our loved ones happy, that's enough."

Dev was stunned to hear Sarah's reply. It felt soft and very sincere when saying it.

"So yes, thank you Sarah."

And that's how I feel about you, Dev.
