“And I didn't know you were a woman who cared about such things.”
If you want a man who treats you with your anniversary affection, you shouldn't have married me in the first place.
It was heartbreaking to hear him say that.
Reynand seemed to think that the reason why she got drunk and vented her emotions yesterday was because she couldn't celebrate her wedding anniversary.
As Kirana stood there silently without saying a word, Reynand spoke.
"If you receive a gift, you must open it. Open the package."
Kirana slowly opened her shopping bag. A big box came out, and when I opened it, I saw a handbag.
It was a product that exuded a luxurious and special impression no matter who saw it. It's beautiful and charming.
But there is no emotion out of it.I don't feel happy, I don't laugh either. I can't do anything like a doll losing its emotions. I can't do anything.
"......."
As Kirana only looked at her handbag, Reynand asked faintly.
"You don't like it?"
"......"
“My secretary says it is a product that is hard to find.”
Kirana's face stiffened for a moment hearing the word ‘secretary’.
'Ah.. that female secretary chose her.'
When I thought about it that way, I started to hate looking at that handbag. And the story that I had forgotten for a while reappeared in my mind.
'Someone I knew saw Reynand enter a hotel near his office in the morning. With a very young woman.'
Kirana put down her handbag and turned her head. Then, facing Reynand, and asked.
"Where did you sleep last night?"
Reynand answered.
"At the hotel."
"alone?"
One of Reynand's eyes narrowed.
"What do you want to ask?"
He opened his mouth as he watched Kirana with powerful eyes.
"Do you think I've slept with another woman?"
"......"
His gaze looked at Kirana's face. Reynand said as if she knew roughly what she was thinking.
"I don't know what you're thinking, but don't worry."
His gaze, which was directed at Kirana's face, led to a slender shoulder line. The visible skin on the bathrobe was white and transparent, as if it was drenched in moonlight. Dark eyes stared at Kirana.
“I'm so busy working that ten dead bodies isn't enough."
He untied his tie and stepped closer to Kirana.
“Sleeping with my wife alone is enough to satisfy.”
Standing right in front of him, he grabbed Kirana's chin.
“There's no way I'm interested in another woman.”
Reynand untied the robe with her other hand. And as she tilted her chin towards her lips, Kirana turned her head.
"......"
Reynand looked at Kirana's face avoiding her lips, her eyes asking. 'why are you avoiding.'
Kirana slightly lowered her head and said.
"Now."
"......"
"I don't want to do it."
That is my honest feeling and reaction right now. I don't want to do anything right now. Even if he brought me a billion-dollar gift, it didn't seem like it would catch my attention, and I didn't want to sleep with impulsive lust regardless of my mood.
"I'm not feeling well."
Kirana said in a soft voice.
"I want to rest today."
Hearing that, Reynand looked at Kirana's face and asked.
"Where is sick?"
"......"
“Have you been to the hospital?”
When she heard the word hospital, Kirana slightly gasped. He said, a little turning his eyes.
“Nobody hurts, this is just because I drank too much yesterday. It will get better as time goes by.”
Reynand nodded her head slowly as if she understood.
“Alcohol that I drank yesterday is very strong.”
Then while looking straight at Kirana, and said.
"No alcohol from now on."
The strong voice continued as if begging.
“You don't know when you will get pregnant. Don't worry about it, take good care of your health. I'll take care of the rest."
Kirana's eyes trembled slightly. If you know that there is not a body that does not know when to get pregnant, but a body that does not know whether to get pregnant, if you know that, how do you react?
As Kirana looked at him, Reynand asked.
"Is there a problem?"
"......"
A cold sweat poured down Kirana's forehead.
It's something I can't hide for the rest of my life. If it was something that would be known someday, wouldn't it be better to say it as soon as possible?
Deep confusion swirled in my head.
Kirana swallowed dry saliva and slowly opened her mouth.
"....I'm......"
Reynand looked at him who said a word with great difficulty.
When I met his eyes, my head became whiter, My face turned pale and cold sweat started to flow. Like a little mermaid who lost her voice, she was unable to speak at all.
Sarah's face, Ameera's, Asih's, and Grandpa's faces appeared one after another in front of my eyes.
Knowing that pregnancy was difficult, how it went, what would happen to you, and what would happen to you. I fear. More than anything, I was most afraid of Reynand's reaction.
"......"
In the end, I couldn't say anything.
Kiran turned her body slightly to the side and said.
"NO. There's nothing."
He added, while lifting the gift box on the table.
"Thank you for the gift. I'll make the most of it."
Kirana took the box and headed for the stairs. His steps were getting faster and faster as if he was running away.
I knew that avoiding it wouldn't make it happen.Still, it took me a little longer. I have to say it one day, but not now.
'I can't have children'
As Kirana said that, she knew that she would be left behind.
Because I knew that someday, I would become a useless person.
Kirana pretended not to notice Reynand's gaze and quickly climbed the stairs.
****
Headquarters SF Group.
As usual, Reynand was sitting in his office looking at the documents. Standing in front of him was Julia, who continued to report on her schedule.
"At 10:00, there will be a presentation by the planning team in the conference room. And the Lunch Promise is scheduled with Mr. Noah and Mr. Kevin at the Chinese restaurant at 12:30 ."
Julia continued to report on her schedule in a clear tone. He Reynand listened to the report while checking the documents.
"This is the minutes file of the marketing team meeting held yesterday afternoon. And this is the planning team presentation material that will be held at 10:00 today."
Julia completed the schedule report by putting two black files in front of her one after another. Reynand quickly browsed through the files and looked at the documents he had read again without saying anything.
Fortunately, he said nothing. Because it means nothing's wrong. If errors or errors are found in the report, the air will cool.
Around this time, Julia would bow her head and quietly leave the office, but for some reason she did not go straight out.
"Director."
Julia hinted at Reynand.
"The gift you prepared last time... Does your wife like it?"
For a moment, Reynand's movement of submitting documents stopped. Then, a blunt gaze looked towards Julia.
"Why are you curious about it?"
It's like saying don't ask unless it has something to do with work.
Julia's face flushed red from that cold voice. Shamed, he immediately lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, I asked you a presumptuous question."
Reynand looked at the document again and said.
"Let's go."
"Yes. Call me if you need anything."
After Julia greeted him politely, she left the office. Even after he left, Reynand continued to look at the documents.
However, he could not get through several chapters and his concentration was interrupted. Reynand daydreamed for a moment.
'The gift you prepared last time... Does your wife like it?'
The present Julia said was the wedding anniversary gift she gave Kirana a few days ago.
Reynand recalled Kirana's expression when she gave him the gift.
What was Kirana's face like then? From what I remember, his expression back then was not too happy.
According to Julia, the gift she gave me that day was a product with a design that was very hard to come by, luxurious and sophisticated in my eyes.There was no woman who did not like something beautiful and shiny.
No matter how wise a woman is, I think she will be happy when given that gift. However, Kirana did not show any expression after receiving the gift.
From what I've seen so far, he's the one who's going to stay happy even if he doesn't like it.
Even so, he just stood there with a somewhat dazed face. He looked like a person who was looking at his gift, but there was another thought in his mind.
It wasn't just that day that Kirana looked weird. At some point, Kirana changed a little. When I entered the house, it was difficult to see Kirana as if they were playing hide and seek, and often she did not look her eyes properly when she saw her face.
There are several reasons why people avoid their eyes.When others are frightened, when they lie, when they want to hide something.
The dreamy Reynand moved his hand to the intercom as if he had already made up his mind.
I hesitated for a moment before pressing the call button. I would love to ask someone within the company to do the job.
Reynand took her personal cell phone and contacted someone. After a few notes, a male voice was heard.
[Hello, I'm David Andrea.]
"I'm Reynand Steve.”
[Good. Mr. Steve. Can I help you?]
Reynand said in a thick voice.
“There's something I need to find out.”
I need to know What's embedded in Kirana's head? What is Kirana trying to hide?
