The Wife Who Escaped
Until When?

Kirana's eyes trembled slightly.

My heart was pounding, ignoring my promise to never be affected by it. I don't know why he's doing this. I had just adjusted to my new life, and I was finally able to smile brightly in front of others.... .... .... but somehow it kept appearing in front of me and shaking my heart.

Even if I go back with her, I end up being useless in that house, then why? Why when my heart beats so fast that it gets to the point where it hurts.

“Kirana.”

A deep voice sounded from beside them. As Kirana turned her head, she saw Mark coming towards them. Reynand, who saw that, muttered softly.

“When you can set the time and mood, the bully will definitely appear.”

Mark who came to them, looked at Reynand and then asked Kirana.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Oh no. Nothing happened."

Kirana moves away from Reynand and talks to Mark.

"Rest Time is running out, right? I think we should go now."

“Yes. Everyone has gathered.”

Kirana was about to walk towards the meeting place but stopped.

I thought it would look weird leaving Reynand, so I said to Reynand.

"Master. The second part of the tour will start soon, so please gather to the meeting place.”

After speaking formally, Kirana walked towards the meeting place. Mark followed her and said something.

Reynand could see Kirana answering something else for what she said. And Mark was seen scratching his head with a red face.

Reynand's eyes turned cold as she watched the scene. What is the boy doing?

The museum tour starts early in the morning and ends around 1pm. Kirana takes a picture with the guests and says goodbye.

“I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their trip, and have fun next time. Let's meet again because of destiny.”

Kirana watched the guests walk away and held hands until the end.

“Thank you for your hard work today.” Kirana said to Mark

“Same. You also worked hard today.”

“Are you going home now?” Ask Mark vaguely

“Yes. But I'll stop by the bookstore for a bit.”

“Book store?”

"There are some books I want to buy. Are you going to Silo?"

"Oh yes. There's some work I need to finish."

“So you also came home late today?”

"Maybe."

Kirana heard those words, thought for a moment, then opened her mouth.

“Do you feel uncomfortable because of me?”

"What do you mean?"

Mark spent most of his day and night in the studio. According to Michelle, it was like that at first, but Kirana seemed to feel uncomfortable about it, so she did not go home.

Someone who is not the same sex and does not know entered his house, of course, will feel uncomfortable.

“I feel like I've been in debt to you for too long. I plan to stay for a while and then move in search of a place to live." Kirana said with a heavy face feeling pity for not being able to understand her feelings any deeper.

I'm getting used to my life now and I feel comfortable with it. When I do this, I feel like I'm becoming too complacent without even realizing it.

"Even though I knew in my head that I had to leave, I kept putting it off. The time I spent in your house was so warm and pleasant. I want to stay as long as I can and then leave. To avoid further inconvenience, I will find a place to stay as soon as possible.”.

“When did I say I felt uncomfortable?”

"......"

“I don't usually go home, and I never feel uncomfortable because of you. So, don't worry about that and just stay at my house.”

This was the first time he who was usually quiet and spoke slowly, spoke so quickly. He spoke without taking a breath.

"Instead, I think the atmosphere in the house is better because you are here. My brother seems to prefer it to you, so…."

"......"

“If you don't mind.

stay as long as you want.”

Kirana continued to gulp without any time to reply.

Mark stopped talking, and was silent for a moment. Mark's cheeks turned red, probably because he thought his last words were a bit exaggerated. He scratched the back of his neck and opened his mouth again.

"Ah. So my point is you can feel comfortable like that."

"......"

“Ah... yes.Thank you for saying that.”

“Then, I go first.”

Mark ran like a broken robot. Kirana looked at her back and sensed that something was different than usual, but could not think more than that.

Kirana turned around and started walking towards the bus stop. On the way to the station, small shops were seen everywhere.

Kirana first went to the bookstore and bought a book. It was an English version of a book related to art history, but was abandoned. Kirana immediately bought it because it was easier to read than Liar.

Kirana wore jeans, flat shoes, and a beige raincoat and wore a sling bag on one shoulder.

I walk with a book in my hand. There's a distance to the bus stop on the way home, but that's okay. The weather is clear and the wind is cold

so it is suitable for walking.

Kirana who was walking out of the bookstore, stopped at another shop. Although the place is small, but famous for its delicious tiramisu. Michelle loved the tiramisu from this store. Every time Kirana passes here, she buys it for Michelle.

Today, as usual, Kirana stood in front of the store and greeted the owner.

[Hello]

When I greeted her in Italian, which I now quite mastered, the owner also warmly welcomed Kirana, because Kirana was her regular customer.

"Per favore, dammi il gusto che ordino semper."

[Please give me a sense of what I always ordered.]

"Va bene. Aspetta and attimo."

[Wait a minute.]

The owner put bright red strawberries on top of the tiramisu in a small box. I packed both flavors and handed them to Kirana.

"Questo is tutto."

[There you go.]

"Aspetta and attimo."

[wait a minute.]

Kirana opened her sling bag and took out her purse. Kirana, who looked into her wallet, thought it was a mistake.

All the money I brought in was spent buying books at the bookstore.

I just put the right amount of money in my wallet every day. I used to go around, I came here and got pickpocketed three times. It was a bad habit I always did

"Ah∙∙∙∙∙∙ mi dispiace. Sono a corto in soldi."

[Ah∙∙∙∙∙∙ I'm sorry.my money is short]

Kirana said with a sad face.

"Quanto costa?"

[how much?]

A heavy voice sounded from behind. The shopkeeper took a moment to look at the young man who was fluent in Italian. The shop owner looked and answered.

"9 Euros."

[9 euros.]

"Prendi semplicemente il resto."

[Take the change.]

The man stuffed his wallet into his suit and received a tiramisu package. And hand it to Kirana.

“Do you not have 9 euros in your wallet?”

The man who spoke as if it was funny was Reynand. Kirana was not surprised to see it. The entire time he walked to the bus stop, Reynand followed him. It was because Kirana already knew that she was going to follow him.

Since he was following me blatantly, I couldn't possibly know about it. Kirana spoke in a low voice while receiving the tiramisu.

"I'll pay you back."

"What is a return payment? My money is your money, and your money is my money.”

The question is, why do couples pay back money?

Kirana lowered one of her eyebrows as if she disapproved of those words. Reynand said while looking at that face.

"Why do you look like that? To be honest, I'm confused."

“Then, you can stop before losing more money.”

Kirana answered coldly and turned around. Then I started walking to the bus stop. Reynand followed him again. Even though he ignored her and treated her coldly, it did not seem to cause much damage.

I don't know if I'm shameless or if my head is hurt. He walked beside her as if he was taking a walk, with a distinctive calm expression on his face.

“What is that person doing?”

Kirana came to a halt due to the sudden question. Kirana looked at him as if asking what he was talking about. Then Reynand spoke again.

“Mark or who it is.”

"Didn't you know it just by looking at it? He's the museum's guide."

“I didn't ask that. I asked what you had to do with her.”

I don't understand the meaning of the question, I can't answer.

Meanwhile, Reynand opened his mouth first.

"Are you close to?"

“Iya. We are close friends.”

Reynand's eyes narrowed at the straightforward answer. In Reynand's opinion, there was no way an adult man and woman could be close unless they both liked each other.

While Mark's view of Kirana was already agitated, hearing Kirana say that they were close friends made his anxiety even more heightened.

“Surely you are not the type of person I am worried about?” Reynand said with a serious face.

"You're still my wife according to the family list. If you meet someone else now, it'll be an affair."

What he's saying now. Just following me is not enough.

Kirana stuck out her tongue when she saw him spewing vulgar things like cheating and so on. He said, after reaching the limit of ignoring her.

“Are you not busy?”

"......"

“Are you done with work in the company?”

I don't understand why people who look at documents while eating and people who hate wasting time are still here. Even when I was ignored and treated coldly. Kirana raised her voice in frustration.

“How long will you chase me like this?”

Reynand replied in a deep voice without hesitation.

“Until you return with me.”
