The Wife Pay
Like a Stranger

Days passed, without feeling two months had passed. This is the eleventh month. It means only one more month Alana becomes a paid wife for Dave, after which the marriage contract will be over. There will be no more ties between the two. They will return to their respective roles, namely returning to be strangers, in different status.

Just like Dave said back then when Alana, where Dave brought him a mekdi burger. The man said the next few days might be busier. It turns out that all is true, these two months Alana rarely met the man. Either Dave is too busy, or he is a little shy. Alana doesn't understand? Even if Dave was home, Jessica would always come. This made Alana feel her presence was no longer needed. Although the two always say to join. However, Alana felt reluctant, as much as possible she always looked for reasons to avoid.

Jessica looks good. But whose heart knows. For example, several times the woman had met him and asked.

“Alana, later after your agreement is completed. You're going to leave this house?” the question is what makes Alana hurt.

“Of course Miss. I am not a person who breaks promises,” replied Alana steady.

Indeed, for moreover he survived, if indeed there is no certainty. His presence there because only limited agreement on paper.

“I keep your promise,” exclaimed Jessica before passing away leaving her.

The presence of Jesica is able to create a distance between Dave and Alana. They are like returning to being strangers in one house. Alana felt so much for the man. However, several times he also often found Dave coming home with Jessica. It made his longing turn into a wound and disappointed, even to chat alone almost never. Alana is self-defeating, why she should be sad. Why should he be hurt.

These two months Dave never asked her to meet his business partner, like the months before Jessica. Either there is no invitation, or indeed his presence is no longer needed. Most likely there may be, and Dave brings Jessica, that too Alana doesn't know.

Just think about asking something more personal. However, several times he also abandoned his intentions. Wh-wh-what for? Even if he already knows the answer. There was nothing he could do, other than endure until that day came.

Tonight, until one in the morning Alana has not been able to close her eyes. At the end of the day, it was very difficult for him to sleep well. The result is sometimes three hours of sleep, and wake up late. Like an unemployed person, his activities lately. At most he would just go out to the hospital to visit his mother, visit Silvi's house, or to Andi's small workshop.

He glanced at Dave's room door, which was slightly open. It was likely that the man had just arrived home.

Alana continued her steps to go downstairs, towards the kitchen. Making coffee for himself.

“What are you doing, Alana?”

“Aduh!” Alana jumped as soon as she heard Dave's voice behind her, until the hot water she wanted to pour on her cup missed her left hand.

Hearing Alana scream, Dave walked up to her. “Gosh. Sorry-sorry, you must be surprised,” screeches Dave. Spontaneously he held Alana's hand, herding her to the sink. With both hands on the woman's right and left sides, Dave helped Alana flutter her hands, with water running down the faucet.

Alana felt her chest getting worse, her heart beating faster than ever. His breathing was hunting, because he felt very nervous, because Dave was standing behind him as if he was hugging himself from behind.

He could even feel the hot breath sweeping his neck, as the man slightly bent down until his head was right over his shoulders. Until the cheeks of both almost touched. The scent of Dave's perfume is out, able to make Alana's body feel heated.

Dave pulled a little head. However, the focus is precisely on the neck of the Alana level that looks clean white, with the child's hair hanging there. Unaware he swallowed his saliva very hard.
