The Secret Bride's
Episode 26: The Worm?

Are saw the name of someone who called him, Bitna

"There's ap-?" cut by Bitna.

"Are!!" Very polite, Inner Are replied

"Mrs is sick. she has a fever!”

"Speak slowly!" reprimand Are.

"Mrs hurt!"

Are immediately reported to Darren, ignoring the long and very serious meeting, he approached Darren and spoke very quietly almost like a whisper. "Mrs are sick, sir."

Darren asked a department head to stop, he raised his hand. "Continue the meeting tomorrow." she left in a hurry as soon as Mr. Are followed her.

Darren never stopped a meeting. It's the first time. Whispers of those in the room after the departure of the owner of the company.

...🖤...

"What's wrong?" one of the assistant department heads spoke to his friend

"You know, Mr. Darren stopped the meeting."

"Then?" answer the new officer

"This is the first time you've left a meeting."

"Maybe there's another meeting. It's not just one company." He's got a point too.

"Issh, you are! Have you heard rumors about you being Daddy's sugar yet? He said the woman was one of the clerks in the administration." she was very sure.

"Heh, you're a gossip, no, no, that's it! I want to work." There are some who believe it and don't. Remember Darren's never been seen with a woman for a long time.

...🖤...

The expression this time was unfamiliar, Are had no recollection of ever seeing this. After Valerei returned to Korea, his boss often pointed out things he had never seen.

Are assumed his boss was only worried, let alone that Valerei was his wife. But if it is examined more than that. Not just worry. "Wait outside, Are." who was told to nod.

Better here than inside.

He came in, the sound of Darren's shoe-banging echoed through Valerei's not-so-big apartment. Well, enough for the newlyweds. He opened the room door, saw his wife lying with a compress on her forehead.

When he saw his boss walking towards Valerei, Bitna immediately walked out, meeting Are who was waiting in front of the apartment.

Darren took a compress on Valerei's forehead and put it in a small basin on the nightstand, then he carried his wife. "Engh" Valerei complained in a sleep state as Darren moved her.

"Back to the mansion."

Darren takes his wife back to the Mansion.

...🖤...

"I have a fever?" ask Valerei

"Yes." That's it, always

Valerei recalled, meaning that he was just delirious because he was sick? usually if he has a fever he will be delirious. Sometimes it feels like suddenly his vision becomes strange, the room becomes small, large, flipping, sometimes away, sometimes closer, strange.

Valerei once read, nor did he know it was a normal reaction or not, the first because it was not his forte. The article said that some people who have a fever will notice and deliriate such strange things. Well, hopefully.

"So-"

"Why?"

"So, I seemed to be delirious or dreaming. I don't know. meet a boy, maybe he's about 3 years old?" he was silent, thinking, if he could tell Darren.

"Then?" gentler

"Like you." Valerei.

"Like me? like that?”

The perpetrator who posted a small photo of Darren was Valerei. When he saw the photo, his smile was broken. Like a flower blooming or like a mother seeing her child calling her 'mama' for the first time.

Valerei saw the infusion. "Yu Ra, was it coming?"

"Yes, check on you."

"He said something? what's my pain? my maag relapsed?"

"You stay up too often!" now Darren also has other skills besides doing business, is nagging, he can beat the mums complex if it's chasing his son with a broom when he comes home late.

"I'm busy!" expostulating

Darren also did not want to give up. "Everyone is busy, only you are sick!”

"And a lot of business." ngeles forced, obviously he just fabricated.

"What business? Don't ngele." Right, he's too much into his new role.

“Like your complex moms.” The small voice was still heard by Darren but he did not understand so much because Valerie spoke Indonesian. Feeling ridiculed, Darren could only shake his head at Valerie's behavior.

The sound of knocking on the door made Darren move. Found Are there carrying a black map. When he saw Darren, he immediately gave the map without speaking and then he went downstairs.

Darren returned to the room and sat down at Valerie's desk checking the contents of the map. While Valerie looked at her husband with a lying position on her side. Is Darren always good looking when he's focused? Her eyes were not sidetracked even as Darren also looked into her eyes and what made her even more shocked, her husband smiled.

Valerie changed her position to sit. “What are you doing?” his eyes were round asking for answers but the man did not answer and looked back at the contents of the map.

“I asked what are you doing?”

Darren combed back his hair. His wife has been doing strange things lately. He answered without turning. “Smiling.”

“I also know, but why?”

Aye?

“When a husband smiles is it wrong?” darren asked, he's busy again.

Valerie shook her head while blinking her eyes once. He also knew nothing was wrong. However, there was something different about his body when he saw the man smiling. Like something tickling his stomach.

Not getting an answer from Valerie, Darren raised his face looking at the woman. On the bed in a sitting position, Valerie was speechless holding her stomach. The sight made Darren flinch and walk quickly towards his wife.

Sit next to the woman and hold her hand. Worrying. “What's wrong?”

His wife's headband made him even more worried. “Valerie what happened? You okay?” ask him again and as before.

Valerie just shook her head weakly.

“I'll call a doctor!” She wanted to call Yu Ra but Valerie's words afterwards made her body inevitably stop.

“Darren, I look like a worm!”

Huh huh? The worms? His head he tilted, hearing the immortality of the wife.

“I feel like my stomach is tickled, not because I have worms? Uh! What did I eat to the worms? playing land as a child, now it's never been. Where's the worm from?”

“Valerie, can I ask?”

“Oh, please!”

“Did I marry the same woman?”

Now replace the confused Valerie. The same woman? Is there another woman? But then he answered casually.

“6 years ago and now it's me. Well, it's the same woman!” he said innocently without feeling burdened.

“Thank God!”

Darren just wasn't used to it. He has to spend a lot of time with Valerie to better understand each other. The time he spent yesterday in vain, not wanting him to repeat. Her husband sat down next to his wife. “Let's ask Yu Ra to prescribe worm medicine.” Said Darren who was possessed by Valerie's spirit.
