The long journey home was the most boring and tiring thing ever since I married and became Kane's wife. There was only silence in the car because Kane had refused to talk to me for a long time. I stared at the dark country road as we walked all the way to our house to kill time. Actually at this time I was a little sulking at him, the ugly man forbade me to turn on the music or dvd player available in this car. Of course, I was mad at him and didn't want to look at him until he lifted his ban on playing the dvd player or something. Right now I really need some entertainment, otherwise I'll be drowsy and fall asleep in a style that can be said to be far from graceful. I don't want that to happen. I have to show my graceful side to him. Even though I don't really expect him to love me, but at least I can show a different side of me so I can captivate his heart.

“Laurel, you are childish.”

What? He says if I am childish? Oh, that's right. In fact, he was the one who was

    “You have to wait until someone who can vouch for you comes.” "But we are already married. Please let us go, we promise we won't do it again." “Sorry, but we can't free you guys right now. The two of you still have to comply with existing procedures.” “Sir, we can't lie! Kane, why are you silent, quickly say something!” I shouted angrily at him. It's really disgusting to see his face that looks calm even though at this time our condition is not fine. We've just been arrested by the police for something we didn't do at all. And Kane still looks relaxed like nothing happened to us. Shit! “What else should I say? I told you everything,” he replied calmly as he crossed one leg in the air. I let out a sigh as I folded my arms in front of my chest. I thought he was really going to do something, because back in the patrol car he said so reassuringly that he would do something for both of us. But it turns out he just leaned his head casually while clo

    I gently put a piece of white gauze on Kane's injured wrist. The man winced in pain as he looked at my face fiercely. I knew he must be warning me not to push too hard when I squeezed his injured hand. But this man was really spoiled and careless. If I didn't wake up and find him covered in blood, I'm sure he wouldn't be able to treat the wound on his own. I immediately wrapped a bandage around his wound and after that I gave a short kiss on his injured hand. Childish, I know that. But when I was young, my mother used to do this to make me stop crying if my hands bleed or my knees bleed after playing with my friends. Now I'm doing it to Kane to get him to stop moaning like a big whiny baby. "What really happened? Why did your hand hurt like this?” I asked him after I finished cleaning up all the mess he made. I threw the glass from the bottle he broke into the trash. I have also mopped the floor which was previously very dirty from the

    After a very annoying incident this morning, I started to go about my daily routine with more enthusiasm and joy. I put Kane and Vella out of my mind and filled them with all kinds of work to do today. But actually I feel weird with myself right now, because I think I'm too cheerful and excessive when greeting all the residents of the hospital I met today. Whenever my brain would remember them, I would immediately distract it by meeting the gossiping nurses at the nurse station, or occupying myself with attending to patients who wanted to consult with me. Today I opened a practice with an unlimited time. If they wish to consult with me for an hour or twenty-four hours non-stop, I will gladly serve them. It's better to be physically tired than mentally tired. Ohh, you are so melancholy. Yes, that's me. Knock knock "Please come in," I said kindly, smiling at a man who was holding a very beautiful girl. The girl's face was white with chubby cheeks as red as peaches. She

    I checked the calendar in my room nervously. Soon the time given by the mother will run out. I have to check my period immediately. I hope God has given me a little baby in my womb. This afternoon after coming home from the hospital I had bought some testpacks at the pharmacy. Now I have taken the testpacks out of my bag and arranged them lined up on the bed. I am confused to choose one of them. According to the pharmacist who served me at the pharmacy, all the testpacks were accurate. So I quickly grabbed them all and took them to the bathroom. I'd better try it one by one so that the results are more valid. Even though it feels very silly, but this is what I really have to do. I need very valid results to prove my pregnancy. "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Kane suddenly came into our room and immediately joined me to sit on the bed. He looked at the test packs one by one and he laughed out loud after that. “You want to check your pregnancy with this m

    After that night— Kane and I, we never had physical contact and greeted each other when we got home. Kane was very stubborn with his ego and didn't want to talk to me at all. He was really just silent when we met at home. Through his gestures he wanted me to apologize for my harsh words to him. But I feel like he should be the one apologizing to me and trying to fix the condition of our nearly shattered household. Because our fight that night was mostly because he maliciously didn’t want to divorce me, and he didn't want to lose Vella. As a woman, I can't live with an uncertainty like this. I need a clear marital status and also a loyal husband. If he doesn't want to lose Vella a second time, he should let me go and let me live happily with another man who can make me happy. God... I want to cry and scream at mom. I want to tell mom everything that our marriage is not real. It's just an emotionally draining fake marriage. But whenever the temptation to call mom comes

    The next day our lives returned to normal with laughter and we had breakfast together at the dining table. This morning I was so excited to make her some chicken soup and a cup of herbal tea. And this time I already have a great plan to force him to drink my herbal tea. I'm sure this time he won't refuse to drink my herbal tea. "Good morning. Where is my breakfast?” Kane walked into the dining room with a coat slung over his hands and a light blue long sleeved shirt. He looks so handsome in that shirt. Fortunately he liked it, because I had absolutely no idea how he tasted in clothes. "Today I made you chicken soup and herbal tea." "Herbal tea? How many times have I told you I don't like it. I prefer black and strong coffee.” “Kane, you can't have too much caffeine. Caffeine is not good for your body.” “But I don't like leaf essence like that. It tasted weird and bad. I felt like drinking a cup of pesticide when I smelled the aroma of the herb

    “Hello mom, how are the orphanages and sunflower gardens doing now? I haven't had time to visit them yet. Did the local government take good care of them?” This afternoon I took the time to call my mother and ask about the orphanage and my sunflower garden. Since Hanah and Max haven't arrived yet, I can take a little longer to call mom. I haven't called mom in a long time and chatted with her. The last time I called mom, when I told mom I wasn't pregnant, and it's been a really long time. "Oh my God, where have you been? You haven't called me in days and visited me. What have you been doing all this time? I always come to your house, but you guys must be working. You abandoned me after marrying Kane. And now you're just asking about your orphanage and sunflower garden. Tsk, you brat." Mom threw all kinds of protests at me. I can imagine her frowning face as she talks to me right now. Must be very funny. And I really don't mind mom scolding me. It is reasonabl

    The light in the living room lit up brightly when my feet stepped into the main room. Dimly I heard the voice of a woman who was talking seriously in the living room with a hoarse voice like she was crying. My eyeballs looked warily into the house to see who the female guest was and what was she doing in my house? "Kane, I love you so much." Isn't that Vella's voice? With quick steps I immediately brought my feet to enter the living room. There I saw Vella and Kane hugging each other, with Vella who was seen crying while covering her face with both hands. Before long, Kane looked up and he looked into my eyes intently. I, who was still in shock, could only look at him with a sad and jealous look. A sudden pain stabbed into my heart. Didn't he promise me to make up and start over? But why did he do this? It made me feel sick and disappointed. He betrayed me. "Laurel, go to your room," Kane said coldly and flatly. His loud voice hurt me even more. My he

    Can't believe this is Kane's wedding day with Vella. Early in the morning the stupid man had told me to get up and clean myself up so I would look fresher at the two humans' wedding. But of course I insisted on not doing what he was told and I didn't want to go to their blessing at all. Because it would hurt me even more and feel like I was going to die. “Hello Laurel, are you ready to witness our blessing ceremony?” Suddenly Vella came with a white gown and a flower crown on her head. Although I'm lazy to admit it, but she is very beautiful in that dress. If only she didn't marry Kane today, then I would gladly praise her beauty. But since today she will marry Kane, then I don't want to praise her at all, never! "What are you here for? I don't want to come to that damn event. I'd rather be here forever than I should see the two of you vow to each other before God." “Oh my gosh, that hurts so bad. But, I will still drag you to come there, with or with

    "Miss, it's time to eat." I slowly opened my eyes while trying to move my whole body which felt completely crushed right now. The stupid man was seen carrying a plate and a glass of milk in his hand. This time, I felt he was different from the previous him. Didn't he look cruel and stupid yesterday? Why did he suddenly turn into a kind and gentle man like this? But, I don’t care. After all, my life has no meaning anymore. If this man now carries a poison, I won't care either. The sooner I die, the better. "Miss, are you okay?" I blinked a few times and shook my head slowly. I lazily took the food from his hand, then I started to put the pieces of vegetables into my mouth. Turns out I was quite hungry too. And I think this food is very good and very different from yesterday's menu. "Why are you still here?" I sarcastically asked the black man after I realized that the man was still standing in front of me and observing. The man smiled awkwardly in fron

    I slowly opened my eyes while groaning in pain. It felt like my whole body was being tied to a chair. I felt the atmosphere where I was confined was very dark and stuffy. There was no light here at all, except for a faint light that shone through the cracks in the frail-looking wooden door. I moved my hands here and there, trying to free myself from the grip of this rope. But the more I tried, the grip on the rope made my wrist even more sore and sore. I winced in pain while trying to calm myself who was starting to panic. Surely at this moment Vella was laughing out loud at the pain I was going through. What Kane said is true, Vella is a very terrible psychopath. I never even imagined this would happen to me. I thought I could fight Vella and cure her strange disorder. But I was wrong. Right now I'm helpless and don't have any strength. My previous belief, somehow has disappeared just like that. What Kane is doing now? He must have been very panicked and was looking for me

    My eyeballs faintly caught the light that was so blinding and pierced my eyes. While groaning in pain, I forced myself to open my eyes wide and adjust to the bright light that turned out to be coming from the hospital room lights. Kane smiled gently to greet me when finally my eyes were able to fully open and adjust to the bright light from this room. "Water," I stammered in a hoarse voice. I felt my throat was so dry I couldn't speak. How long have I been lying unconscious like this? Everyone at Hanah's school must have been panicked when this afternoon's incident took place. But everything was unexpected and I never imagined that I would be hit by an accident like that at Hanah's school. "Are you feeling hurt?" Kane asked looking worried. I shook my head slowly, gripping one of his hands tightly. "I'm fine, it was just a minor incident, don't worry too much about it." “Minor incident? Oh my God, you almost made me faint on the spot because o

    "Kane, I'm going backstage to see Hanah."I immediately left after getting a nod from Kane. During the dance performance, Max and I were very excited to cheer, supporting Hanah who was dancing on stage beautifully. As for my rigid husband, he repeatedly yawned bored while fiddling with his smartphone lazily. Several times the corner of my eye glanced at his phone, he was observing his company chart which was constantly crawling up. He had nothing else to do but swipe up and down the screen of his cellphone to distract from the boredom he was feeling. He wasn't actually in the plans to attend a children's event like this. He'd better be at home and drown himself with dozens of boring company files. But only because Vella suddenly came, I decided to bring him to this event because I didn't want Kane to spend time alone with Vella.BughA woman in a red hat hit me hard on the shoulder.

    At ten o'clock the three of us arrived in front of Hanah's school which looked very crowded by students and parents. They all looked happy with their children and hand in hand entered the wide school grounds. The children came with a variety of very cute costumes. Some wore duck costumes, some wore clown costumes, all of them seemed enthusiastic to welcome today's dance festival.Max then guided me and Kane to follow him into Hanah's class. There the little girl was seen busy getting ready with one of her class teachers."Hanah is so adorable," I muttered, giggling at Kane.The little girl waved her hand at me and was about to run towards me. But her class teacher immediately held her hand because she had not finished wearing the costume."Mommy!" Hanah shouted enthusiastically.She wiggled her hands in annoyance when her class teacher wrapped her arms even tighter.“Wait a minute Miss Hanah. You almost dropped your sunflower ornament.

    The next day everything went normally. I seem to have forgotten what happened yesterday and decided to forget everything. I don't want to be stressed about a problem I can't fix at all. I'll just waste energy if I keep thinking about that problem in my head, while Kane and Vella don't even think about it at all. Today I start my day by cleaning the house and cooking. Nothing is different after our fight last night. I'm not too bothered by yesterday's problem either. I don't care about all the lies that Kane has made or his complicated past. The most important thing now is that he lives with me and loves me with all his heart. I honestly felt really touched by his courage to try to be honest with me. Yesterday he was really really awesome. Well, even though I was disappointed in him. But never mind, why get angry and keep fighting. It won't solve any problem. We are both adults and want to do things better as adults. We should be able to resolve our quarrels with a cool head
