The Struggle for Wife Love
Bag 140

"Do you feel better now?" ask Arnold.

I was silent and still staring blankly at the lights of the house down there.

"I know it's hard, but you also have to think positively. Don't let your emotions make everything fall apart and even lead to regret" Arnold said again.

"I..... I don't know, right now I'm very confused and disappointed. How I deal with them I have not thought until now" I said softly.

I looked back at the lights of the house scattered like stars below. It's true that this place can make me a little calm with the incident earlier.

"You know, I've known you for a long time" Arnold said suddenly.

"Yeah... Yeah, I know that. You don't know me as long as they know me." I said.

"No, I recognized you a lot earlier than when we met. At first I was a little surprised by your arrival here, but after knowing I always pushed you" Arnold said.

"You mean?... Stop playing nonsense, my mood is not good right now" I said.

"You know Raa, I'm your husband's little friend" Arnold said.

"What....? you....?" ask me stamped.

"Sit down and listen to me." Arnold ordered.

My mood got worse when I heard Arnold's confession, but he lied to me indirectly. But I obeyed Arnold to stay calm and listen to his words.

"I wanted to help Zean hide his identity at first because I thought it might be best for him but when I found out you were in Paris and working for the same company as me, after knowing your situation at that time I always observed you. I always see you putting up your pictures everywhere, and you still have your wedding ring on you even though you know she's gone. So even with Zean who always does the same thing as you, I think if indeed you guys still love why is it so difficult to unite? And I realized that what Zean did was wrong, and then I was going to meet you with Zean when we took the files to his apartment. Unfortunately you just met Paul, I took you to my apartment and you saw a series of photos of our childhood. I was hoping you could realize that the child next to me was Zean but unfortunately you didn't realize it either. And my patience ran out after I found out that Zean told a man to get close to you and make a new life with him, that man was Andre. Finally I threatened Zean to take you from Andre." Arnold explained at length.

I kept quiet, not knowing what to say. Think like I'm a ball that can pass anywhere they want. Yes. a toy that resigned to the situation.

"Maybe I'm evil Raa, but I want to help you guys. That way Zean can recover from his paralysis and you can meet him again" said Arnold Lirih.

"Cripple...?" ask me wonder.

"Yeah, don't you know that he's paralyzed after saving you from the accident? That's why he ran away, Zean thinks he doesn't deserve to live with you under such circumstances" Arnold said.

Suddenly my heart ached, not expecting that many things that Zean had passed alone. I can continue my life in peace.

"Arnold.... Are you really chasing me?" ask me suddenly.

"Yes, but I won't force you to return the favor" Arnold said with a smile.

"Stop smiling, it doesn't suit you very much" I said, laughing a little at her behavior.

"Yes I know, I'm an elegant man so it's very dear if my aura falls apart with that stupid smile" Arnold said.

At the apartment Zean was silent with the incident that had just happened before his eyes. He did not expect to see Tiara again, which unfortunately was in an impossible condition.

"Are you planning all this?" ask Zean annoyed.

"Don't be stupid, what good would it be if I planned all this. Even if I wanted to plan all this I wouldn't be here and get caught with you either." Andre said.

"How did he get here? There must have been something that made him get here" Zean said.

Zean glanced at the papers that Tiara had dropped in front of his apartment, reading what they were. And it turns out it's the company's year-end report files. Zean gripped the report to pieces, thinking that Arnold was behind it all.

"I'm going home, you rest first. Tomorrow I'll try to talk to Tiara about our problem." Andre stood up.

"No need, I have things to do tomorrow. And again from now on take care of our respective problems" said Zean

Andre leaves Zean alone in his house. He rushed to the hospital, because he thought it was a little late. Maybe the woman's worried about why Andre hasn't come back yet. He stopped by the bakery and had some food to eat at the hospital.

"Ahh it's past dinner, he must be starving." murmured Andre.

He drove his car fast to get to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital he found the woman sitting facing the window of the room whose curtain was still open.

"Hey. kenpa still leaves the curtain open, you'll catch a cold" said Andre closing the window curtain.

"I just saw snow falling so pretty and white" she said.

"Don't you see this every year, it's not your first snow, is it? Come eat, sorry I was late to bring it." said Andre opened the parcel he bought earlier.

"Can you call my name next? Every time you meet you just call me hey." said the woman innocently.

"How should I call you, miss? You always get into trouble and make me forget to ask your name" Andre said while cutting bread.

"Call me Lucy, now you know my name." she said.

"Alright Lucy eat your food and after that rest, I will ask the doctor about your current condition" said Andre.

Andre came out of the patient room and headed to the doctor's room, he wanted to know the condition of the person who always made him in that problem. While Lucy is a little happy with Andre who has started calling her name. Because he felt very bad when he was spoken to with a call that was foreign to him.

The doctor and Andre come to check on Lucy, and Lucy complies with everything the doctor says and orders her to do.

"The situation has improved, it is likely that tomorrow afternoon will be able to get out of the hospital. Tomorrow I'll go back and double-check, after which you can go home" the doctor said.

The doctor comes out of Lucy's room and leaves them both. Andre is still eating his food, probably because it was past mealtime and he was hungry so eat very greedy. Lucy is a little sad to know she's leaving the hospital, which means she'll be parting ways with Andre.
