Your Spirit from the Water of My Eyes
Chapter 43. I Don't Want to Be Again.
In the evening, after enjoying dinner. Evan and all his family seemed to gather in the living room, only Ayun who was still not in that place because she had gone to nowhere.
"Where is your mother, Adel?" evan asked his daughter who was playing on the phone in front of the television.
Adel raised his head and glimpsed at the father. "Not knowing." He replied nonchalantly, then looked back down and focused on the flat object he had in his hand.
"Try you-" Evan who will tell Adel to call Ayun did not make a sound when he heard the footsteps of someone on the stairs. He turned to the side, and found Ayun walking down from the 2nd floor.
Swing smiled at everyone in the place sweetly, then sat her body on the carpet, right next to Adel.
"Look at Mom, the clothes are pretty, right?" adel said while showing his phone to his mother, precisely showing a photo of a dress that he wanted.
"Adel want to buy that?" ask Ayun while watching the clothes that Adel showed. Good too, he thought.
Adel immediately nodded his head with enthusiasm, he then showed the other models to choose which of the clothes was the most beautiful.
Evan stared intently at the two different women of that generation. Since when did Adel become very close to Ayun, has not his daughter always asked for anything from him?
"Aren't you going to show it to me, Del? Dad knows best which clothes are good and which are not" Evan said suddenly, making Ezra and Adel look at him sharply at the same time.
Swing who heard the husband's words clearly felt shunned. All this time he did not pay attention to the clothes he was wearing. The origin is still good and closes the aura, then it is not a problem.
"Mom knows too, Kok. I'm busy" Adel replied, glaring to the side, in a snarling voice.
Evan was silent when he heard what his daughter said, while Ezra smiled meaningfully when he heard Adel's words. He felt proud because his sister had learned a lot from him, of course he who taught Adel every day to say that.
"Oh yeah, tomorrow there's my VIP customer coming to see you. I hope we can all welcome them well. They will also have lunch with us, I hope you prepare a very good dish, Ayun," Evan said seriously, glancing at Ayun who was also staring at him.
"Who, Van? What matters?" ask Beni. They have not received guests for a long time.
"Mr Burhan, Dad. He is visiting this city with his family, so he wants to see us" Evan replied clearly.
Then Evan again emphasized to all of them so as not to make mistakes in front of his guests, because it would have a bad impact on their cooperation later.
"Do you understand, Swing?" evan asked while staring at Ayun sharply made Ayun gasp from her daydream. "Maybe you can prepare the cooking"
"How about we have lunch at the restaurant?" said Ayun quickly, making Evan unable to continue his words.
Evan and his parents looked at Ayun in surprise. Usually the woman will be very excited, and has been busy mentioning the food menu to be cooked. Why are we talking about restaurants now?
Swing smiled while nodding his head. "Lately I feel tired, and lazy to cook. So, we'll just eat at the restaurant." He answered quickly.
Evan was silent for a while because he was surprised by Ayun's words, he then smiled cynically because he knew that the woman must be playing tricks with him.
"So, you feel tired and lazy to entertain my guests? Is this how you treat your husband's own business partner for wanting to embarrass me?" evan asked with a tone of voice that had gone up 1 octave, making Adel sigh roughly and move away from the place.
Swing shook his head. "It's not like that, I'm just giving advice." He spoke with a big smile. "Or just tell my honey to greet them, even better, right?" Her embrace with great emphasis made her two in-laws dumbfounded at their place.
Since the incident last afternoon, Ayun keeps thinking about her and Sherly's whereabouts in Evan's life. From the woman's words, it was clear that Evan was very attentive to the woman. Something he had not had for 20 years, not even the sweet moments at the beginning of marriage had he ever felt.
It's really sad, it's true if Evan hasn't loved her all this time. So, what exactly did the man marry her for? Even their marriage lasted for 20 years.
Back again at the current atmosphere, where Evan stared at Ayun with anger, while his two in-laws stared in confusion and astonishment.
"Why is that surprised, Mom? Hasn't she never been in public as your wife, pity if kept continuously?" said Ayun with sarcasm, really making both of her in-laws speechless to her surprise.
Evan looked at the woman in disbelief. How could Ayun say that in front of her parents? His eyes glinted in anger.
"You want to get back into a fight with me?" evan asked with a stifled voice. If there were no parents, he would have dragged her into the room.
"No," said Ayun, shaking his hand. "I've lost it, I'm just giving advice." He repeated his words again.
"You-you"
"Already, enough. Stop that discussion!" beny said sharply, his head was dizzy to see the quarrel every day. "There's nothing wrong with what Ayun said, we can eat together with the guests at the restaurant. So there's nothing more to argue about." He spoke with great emphasis.
Evan gritted his teeth as he could not refute the father's words, while Ayun smiled wryly upon hearing it.
"I didn't know that acting like this was fun, Mom. You should always do that to me."
