A car horn sounded from outside Raisa's house. She hurriedly opened the door to see who had arrived."Arka?" Raisa paused first, her mind still wondering why her husband had returned home so soon."It looks like it's his car," Raisa confirmed.Once again the car horn sounded, seemingly impatient to get in."Wait a minute," Raisa shouted at the door of her house. Raisa hurriedly got out of the house and opened the gate for her husband. Her heart still wondered if today wasn't the day Arka was scheduled to return from work.Shortly after Arka's car pulled in, her next-door neighbor's car horn sounded. Raisa paid a little visit, and sure enough, her new neighbor had just arrived."Why did it take so long to open the fence," said Arka, surprising Raisa."Sorry, dear. I didn't think it was you" Raisa was a little surprised. She smelled a strong odor from the clothes Arka was wearing."What's going on? I've been looking at our next-door neighbor." Arka came to see her new next-door neighbor
The sound coming from Arka's cell phone disturbed Raisa's deep sleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes."One o'clock at night? Seriously, who the hell sends messages at this hour," Raisa annoyed, looking at her husband who was still fast asleep.Raisa picked up Arka's cell phone which was on the nightstand near the bed. Squinting slightly, she again could not see the message that had entered her husband's cell phone."Again? Why is the message not visible," Raisa murmured a little curiously."Ah ... it's not important either. Maybe people are ignorant,' Raisa said, returning Arka's cell phone to its original place.Raisa pulled the blanket over her cold body. Her eyes began to close, but her mind was still on her husband's cell phone. She was still curious why her husband's cell phone felt odd and strange."Is Arka hiding something?"She was already suspicious when Arka lied about a business trip. Likewise with incoming messages, but they couldn't be seen.Suddenly Arka wriggled her body, s
All the doors were locked tightly. Raisa was still frightened and tried to calm herself down.The sound of Anya's crying from inside the room interrupted Raisa's bad thoughts. Immediately, she went to the room and picked up Anya."Honey," Raisa said, calming Anya down."Anya, why are you crying?" Raisa carried her daughter out of the room. She breastfed her daughter in the family room."I hope nothing happened," Raisa said, looking at her son who was breastfeeding.The woman stared back at the window of their house, intrigued by the knock on the door without a person."Why am I so scared. There can't be bad people during the day." Raisa talked to herself, trying to calm herself down by distracting herself with watching television."A woman was found lifeless in her house. It is suspected that the cause of her disappearance was....""Click"Raisa quickly turned off the television she was watching. The news she had just seen made her even more frightened."Why is news like that appearin
Arka returned home at exactly midnight. Raisa and Anya were already fast asleep. Even before going to bed, the woman had thought that her husband had cheated on her."Looks like Raisa is asleep," Arka muttered softly. Silently, the man opened the door to their house. He sneaked in like a thief trying to steal something.Arka bumped into a table leg that was close to the light switch in their house."Ouch!" shrieked Arka in surprise and pain.The light in the living room was bright, and there stood Arka holding her slightly blue feet."Arka?" asked Raisa, still confused."Honey. I'm sorry I disturbed your good sleep," Arka said in a guilty voice."No problem. I was lucky to hear that you're home," Raisa replied as she approached Arka."Let me see his leg, who knows if it's bruised," continued Raisa, looking at Arka's knee."A little bruise. Shall I treat it?" Raisa offered sincerely."No need. It's just a little, it doesn't hurt too much, I can stand it. It was just a reflex shock, so
Raisa sat silently on the sofa in the living room for a long time. She was still upset with Arka for lying on her behalf."So all this time I've just been used as a scapegoat by Arka," Raisa muttered under her breath. Her mind was confused and frantic, she had no idea that Arka could lie to her boss."Maybe Arka has been lying all along." Raisa's mind was still on the spot. Her husband's cell phone was still in Raisa's hand. She really couldn't bear to double-check the message."Honey?" called Arka who suddenly appeared.Raisa was surprised and turned to her husband. She didn't expect Arka to wake up, so she put her husband's cell phone on the table."Why is my cell phone with you?" asked Arka with a panicked expression. Raisa could see the panic on her husband's face. Arka wasn't usually like that, so Raisa was right, her husband was hiding something very secret."Just borrowing for a while," said Raisa coldly and nonchalantly. As the woman waltzed away from Arka's presence, she bega
"Why does my back hurt anyway?" complained Raisa, wiping away the dripping sweat. Raisa entered her house, and saw Anya already asleep in the baby stroller."Poor thing. I said I forgot you and left you here." Raisa quickly picked up her daughter and moved her to the bed."My daughter is very smart. Stay healthy dear," Raisa murmured as she pecked Anya's chubby cheeks. Back to making brownies, Raisa suddenly felt her body aching."I think I'm going to be sick," said Raisa sitting on the sofa. Holding some parts of her body and feeling hotRaisa quickly picked up the cell phone on the table. She planned to call Aunt Iyem, her masseuse and old neighbor in the village."No answer. Where did Bi Iyem go? Maybe she got a massage job from someone else." Raisa wondered, even though Raisa's call to Aunt Iyem's cell phone rang but was not answered.With a body that felt cracked and sore, Raisa finally continued making the brownies that had been delayed. Her deft hands began to move here and the
Not waiting long, Raisa said goodbye to Aska to go home. In her heart, she would avenge Aska's nanny's evil deeds."Aska. Anty and Anya go home first. Later, you can eat the brownies with Sister, or maybe with Aska's Mommy." Raisa gently rubbed Aska's head. The boy looked sad when he heard Raisa say goodbye."Aunty doesn't feel at home at Aska's house, does she?" the boy asked, looking up at Raisa. Feeling heartless, but also Raisa did not want to linger at Aska's house. She was already upset when she found out who the real culprit was.Raisa shook her head, "I like it at Aska's house. It's just that I have to continue cleaning up the house." Raisa looked at Aska, then smiled sweetly."Then, tomorrow Aunty and Anya will come here again, right?" Aska whined with a hopeful look. Raisa couldn't say yes to Aska's wish. Not necessarily, tomorrow she would return to Aska's house again."We'll see tomorrow, dear," Raisa replied, rubbing Aska's head.A car horn sounded loudly from the front o
Arka had finished cleaning her body. In a casual but neat suit, she took a walk carrying Anya around the complex for a while, Arka did not forget to greet several people who were running in the afternoon. There were even some who were walking leisurely enjoying the cool afternoon breeze.Suddenly, the sound of a bicycle horn from behind Arka startled her. Anya almost cried in surprise."Who the hell," said Arka turning around, it turned out that behind Arka stood a woman with her child."Why is Maya here anyway," Arka was annoyed."What if someone gets suspicious," Arka muttered, not liking Maya's presence.Maya continued to follow behind Arka who was still faithfully walking around the complex. Actually, Arka was a little uncomfortable with Maya's arrival."An afternoon walk is fun, especially with your favorite child," said Maya, who suddenly aligned their positions."Yes," said Arka briefly. The man did not look at Maya. He was afraid that people would think they were having an aff
