Unsaying Words
CHAPTER I - He is gone
Rina looked at the divorce filing documents with nanar. Closing his eyes, he braced himself taking the pen off the table and etching his signature on the column containing his name. After that, she took off her engagement ring and also her marriage slowly. From his wallet, he took out several cards and kept them all in a brown envelope.
Slowly, he stepped towards the main room and opened it. As usual, the room looks neat and fragrant. The room is large and although minimalist, it looks that the entire furtinure is expensive and shows the taste of the owner is elegant. However, all that was before his eyes and was imprinted in his mind was the event of that night, an event that he would never forget.
For the first time and for the last time in his life.

"The number you are calling is inactive. Please try a few more moments."
Upset, Chris re-presses his number and listens to the message in the same monotone voice several times. Finally he threw his phone into the chair in front of him.
Rich who sat in front of him was also the target of throwing his boss's annoyance. Without saying anything, he put Chris' phone in the seat next to him and instead took his own when he saw a notification of incoming messages.
"What's up, Boss?"
Chris rubbed his face and directed his gaze towards the outside of the plane. In his heart, he did not want to assume anything. He did not dare.
"Rina's number has been off for a few days."
Rich, who was holding his phone, fell silent before replying.
"It just so happens boss. Megan's mom just said that it's been a few days now the house looks empty."
Chris' body stiffened at the information he did not want to hear. He felt his heart start beating wildly, his stomach contracting and without realizing it, he held his breath.
"You mean?"
"This morning Megan's mother came to the apartment to clean the house as usual, but she said she had been a few days since she found no food at the dinner table."
Rich glanced at Chris briefly to see his reaction. He also continued carefully.
"Usually iste. Usually, Rina always gives the rest of the cooking to Megan's mother and put it on the dining table. But it's been a few days there's no."
He continued reading the message on his phone while frowning his forehead.
"Megan's mother never cleaned Lina's room. But, out of concern he checked his room. And suspect that it seems like it's not been occupied for long enough."
Suddenly Chris snatched the phone, making Rich shocked. The man ended up just standing still, letting his boss hold his phone.
Chris read one message after another from his house assistant. What Rich said was the same as Megan's mother said in her chat.
The man felt his body go down. He returned the phone to Rich while sighing heavily. Closing his eyes, he massaged his head which began to hurt.
Worried, Rich asked, "Boss, are you okay?"
"I don't know." He replied slowly, his voice sounded hoarse.
Chris' slowly opening eyes looked slightly red as he looked at the man in front of him.
He turned his eyes back to the window. Right now, Chris' brain is messed up and he doesn't know what to think. Unwillingly his eyes began to look wet, as he recalled the last incident before leaving his apartment.
Rich looked quite shocked by what he saw. It's not like the boss he knows.
What exactly happened? He wondered in his heart confused. But seeing that his superior looked confused, he did not dare to ask further.
He did not want the events of a few weeks ago to happen again, when his boss beat up the people who had betrayed him. Just that time during his time working with Chris, Rich saw him emotionally and visibly out of control.
The atmosphere was quiet again and because Rich did not have enough courage to invite his boss to talk again, he finally refocused himself on the laptop on his lap, without bothering Chris who looked still pensive threw a look out.
***
When he opened the apartment door, Chris headed straight for the living room. Usually every time he comes home from work or from a business trip, he will always find food at the dinner table. He will also always find a thin blanket draped on the middle sofa. The sofa that Rina often used to wait for herself to come home, no matter how night it was.
But today, he only found an empty dining table. The sofa looks neat, with no sign of anyone ever sitting on it. He did not even smell the smell of food that began to feel familiar in his nose and missed him every time he returned home.
When he opened the fridge, he found only a few cold drinks. The conditions look clean and in the freezer there is no food, not even an egg. Lina left nothing for herself.
Chris closed the refrigerator door in a doldrums. Unwanted, her heart was pounding especially when she stepped up and opened the guest room door that Rina usually used. This was the first time he had entered the room since it was occupied by his wife.
The atmosphere of the bedroom was cold, he did not smell the typical fragrance that was unconsciously stored in his brain and began to search for it. As Megan's mother said, this room seems to have been unoccupied for a few days.
Chris' forehead frowned when he saw the dressing table that looked still full of various bottles of perfume and skin care that he had given his wife. He took one of them, and realized that the contents did not seem to diminish in the slightest. Chris also found several other bottles with similar conditions.
Everything on his wife's dresser looked new and looked like a display. There was a slight pinch of feeling in his heart, yet he did not know the cause.
Sighing, he turned to open the wardrobe in front of him. That's when Chris felt his heart was getting worse.
In the large closet, there is still a pile of clothes that he had given first. On the other side of the closet, he saw a variety of dresses, shoes and bags that looked untouched. He recognized some of the dresses and bags his wife had worn when they attended family gatherings. But other items seem never used, even the price tag is still not removed.
Unbelieving, he grabbed the drawer where the jewelry was and found a number of jewelry in similar conditions. Complete and looks untouched.
Chris was unable to speak. Didn't his wife marry him for his money? Why, then, did he not bring the jewels that were clearly sold, his wife could still live a life of fun for a long time.
He began to wonder inwardly, while circulating his gaze around the room.
Benak Chris began to think of negative things, that his wife had deliberately disappeared to test him. Rina never intended to leave him, as she would definitely try to drain the man's treasure first. For this reason, why Chris to treat his wife is not as it should be, although in fact his small heart refused hard.
Not wanting to linger with his thoughts, Chris rushed out and went into his own room. Once there, he immediately undressed and went into the bathroom. During under the shower, Chris tried to eliminate his negative thoughts about his wife, especially his brain was tired enough to face the problems of the company he was facing. After being satisfied to clean himself, he immediately turned off the shower faucet and took a towel to dry his body.
When he saw the glass, Chris saw his own reflection featuring a fit man at 38. His height is far above average with athletic body muscles, thanks to his hobby that took the time to swim every day at home. His pleasure to exercise also usually appears strong when Chris has problems. Instead of running to drinks or women like other men his age and her mouthfuls, he prefers to submerge himself in work or even tearing his body when exercising. He tries to respect himself by not demeaning himself to these things.
As a normal man, of course Chris has biological needs that need to be channeled. Nevertheless, he was grateful that his body condition did not make him lose his mind just because***** as often happens to his friends. Chris' reasoning power is healthy enough to be able to see the reality, that often his friends become trapped in two women's lives even more. In addition to being quite confusing both from the money side and also mentally, he also does not intend to add problems that he thinks are not important in his life.
He often gives up and eventually satisfies himself. He had even been tempted to try several times to find a partner, but his conscience made him often stop in the middle of the road. He does not want his efforts to keep himself from becoming contaminated, only because of the problem at************ that he is unable to cope with. Chris also does not know why he tried so hard, but he knows that he does not want to disappoint himself and especially his mother. His mother was the most valuable person in the world to Chris. He was even willing to do everything for his mother, including marrying a woman he did not love.
