[Sir Director. We have arrived.]
Reynand raised her eyelids hearing those words. The papers were in his hands, and he could see the house through the window.
He seemed to have fallen asleep on the way home. Even though he was asleep, his feelings were not fresh and his head was pounding. He must have been unable to sleep well for the past few days.
Business trips have been done one after another, and the work to be completed is endless.
Meanwhile, the ready-made concrete company we worked with this morning closed due to the increase in cement prices.
If the supply of ready-made concrete to the construction site is disrupted, the frame work will be delayed and damage is unavoidable.
Ready-made concrete companies are notifying of additional price increases. And, the company held an emergency meeting. He had searched for solutions repeatedly, yet he still had not found the right solution.
He had experienced many conflicts with construction material companies in the past, but this incident was what troubled Reynand.
The reason was because of an order from a problematic construction site at first It was because it was Randy's job. Reynand won the contract instead of Randy who was slow on the job. And the Chairman handed this task to Reynand.
Because he replaced Randy, he had to give more perfection. He has to show his ability to everyone, not just the Chairman.
"Thank you."
Reynand let out a long sigh as she got out of the car.
I just got home in the middle of the night, but I had to get back to work a few hours later. If this was the case, I wondered if I would sleep in the company or at a nearby hotel, but when I arrived at the front of the house, I was, I thought it would be better to sleep at home even though I slept for an hour. .
When I opened the front door, a familiar scent smelled.Sweet fragrance like the scent of flowers. It was the mixture of perfume and shampoo that Kirana always used. Strangely enough, when I smelled this scent, I felt peace. No matter how exhausting my time at work, the moment I opened the front door and smelled this scent, the sata tension disappeared.
Reynand took off her shoes and entered the room. The inside of the house was dark and silent.
It's late at night, Kirana's probably asleep. It's okay even if no one greets me. Having someone at home makes me feel safe.
I take off my chest and head to the bathroom, want to take a shower and go to bed. However, from the side of the dining room, a light was visible.
Reynand turned to the dining room. And he found Kirana sitting face down on one side of the table.
He found Kirana sitting face down on one side of the table. Kirana was lying on her stomach with her face buried in her arms. Looking at the one who could only hear a light breath sound, it seemed like he was asleep.
Reynand leaned on her upper body to move her into the bedroom, as she looked very uncomfortable sleeping. And that was when she reached out to her shoulder to carry Kirana to the room.
As soon as she touched it, Kirana moved her shoulders. Seeing him slowly raising his head, Reynand straightened his upper body again.
Kirana with face up found Reynand and stared at her for a while.Are you sleep deprived?
Looking at Kirana, who looked somewhat confused, Reynand said.
"Sleep in bed."
Despite Reynand's words, Kirana looked into the empty space with a stunned face. It was then that Reynand felt a foreign smell coming from him. The pungent smell of alcohol pierced the nose. It smells like high alcohol.
Reynand narrowed her eyes opened herself and asked.
"Are you drinking?"
Kirana said with her eyes still empty in the air.
"Drink."
"......"
"Just one glass....."
Reynand found a bottle of whiskey lying on the kitchen table. Seeing no ice tray, it seemed like Kirana was drinking without ice.
The alcohol content in whiskey is 40%. I don't know how much I filled the glass, but it was a drink I could drink with just one glass.
Reynand looked at Kirana's face and said.
"Have you forgotten what time it is?"
"......"
“Even if I want to drink, you should hold it.”
Why do you drink alcohol during your childbearing years?
Of course, these were words he would not have spoken if he had known of my physical condition. It was a very cold word.he was always so he always said the words that made my heart ache.
He didn't even wonder why I drank. No matter how much his stomach burned.
Kirana fell silent, then slowly opened her mouth.
"Not even a day?"
Kirana's straight gaze looked at him.
“Only one day.. Can you let me do it my way."
"......"
“I'm not interrupting what you do.”'
'Someone I knew saw Reynand enter a hotel near his office in the morning. With a very young woman'
I heard a scandal about my husband, but I didn't ask.
I left him to concentrate on his work. It is not ignored, but tolerated. It could be the details, but it's something I have to endure.
But why did this man do this to me?
With just one drink, I take action of my own accord. I don't even know how sad I am right now.
"What's been going on?"
“Why have you been doing this lately? How can?."
Kirana bit her lips gently and then let go.
"It's too hard."
The trembling voice sounded pitiful.
“Weight once... I can't stand.”
"What?"
"All."
Everything feels heavy and difficult. A call from the mother-in-law asking about pregnancy several times a day, ****** the husband who is often heard in the house, ' he said, Even my father and grandmother who considered marriage as a business could not stand it because it was so heavy. Mother who does not know when to wake up, her wounds rot and rot, even now her body is a mess. I don't have the strength to last much longer.
It was at that moment that the eyes that were wet from despair shook violently.
“What bothers you so much?”
A cold voice pierced Kirana's ears.
Shaky eyes looked at Reynand.
Reynand spoke with a calm face.
“Sit and keep home all day?”
"......"
“Once go out to an event and take pictures with a smile? Stay still, eat at the right time, and sleep at the right time?"
Every word pierced his chest like an arrowhead.
“There are people who work without sleep for a second since yesterday.”
When you're busy handling one thing, something else comes up. In a place where there are hundreds of eyes, and many words for every word and action, you must keep perfection every day.
“There are people who feel their brain will be damaged when working day by day to meet the needs of others.”
Reynand's voice is getting thicker.
“People like that can survive, So what's hard about you?"
Reynand was exhausted. But he did not reveal it to anyone . He thinks this is his own way. Since it was the path he chose, He had to take responsibility and endure whatever process he went through.
The same goes for Kirana. Kirana chose this marriage. And Reynand never asked her for anything difficult.
“What I want from you is to just shut up and act as my wife by my side.”
Reynand's cold eyes met Kirana's.
"Is it hard?"
Looking at those cold eyes, Kirana was speechless.
Heart hurts. It felt very cold and painful, but I couldn't reveal anything. Knowing that whatever I say, it won't reach him.
He slowly wiped away the tears in his dry eyes. Tears that seemed like they would explode at any moment to flow.
"so that?"
Kirana lowered her gaze and nodded slowly.
"You're right."
A dry voice sounded calmly.
“I'm just angry.”
It's worse than complaining on a solid wall. That's so stupid.
I had to close my ears, close my eyes, and shut my mouth. For a moment I forgot that that was how I survived in this house.
Reynand looked at Kirana who was not facing him, and took a deep breath.
"Ohhh."
It was a sigh of frustration.he rubbed his forehead and said with a tired face.
"Get in and sleep."
Then he turned around and headed for the front door. Not long after he came home, he opened the front door again and walked out. The sound of doors closing filled the quiet house. And Kirana was alone again.

Headquarters SF Group.
In the conference room on the 2nd floor, an emergency meeting was taking place from the early hours of the morning. In the middle of the tense conference room, a man in a suit was sitting, it was Reynand. And opposite him the staff were sitting with hard faces.
“Currently, every regional headquarters under the Remicon Council strikes in turn. A total of 20 locations across the country have been closed while construction in some locations has been stopped completely.”
The team leader, who reported the current situation, glanced at Reynand.
I used to feel cold, but today I felt really cold.
It was an atmosphere that seemed like it would be a big deal if I was to touch it wrong.
