My day that was supposed to be happy was ruined because of what I witnessed this morning.
I lost my mind and I couldn't even thank Irish for taking care of us at the reception.
Until we entered the cottage room where we will stay for two days I was frowning, I don't know if he noticed that I was not in the mood.
But probably, not because he just followed me.
When we entered,I arranged my things in the closet. One by one I hung up his clothes as well.
I remained silent and I have not looked at him since we arrived.
I didn’t really like what I saw, or how he looked at that woman.
It is full of desire.
As I was unpacking the clothes I had spread on the white double size bed, Ralf was on the mini balcony overlooking the blue ocean. Later he came in from there, and stood in front of me.
I, on the other hand, pretended not to see him.like he's not around.
"Are you hungry?'
-what do you want for lunch?
He asked as his One hand, which I think was holding a phone, was tucked inside the pocket of his loose pants.
"Anything!
I replied that my eyes were not looking at him even for a moment.
“All right, I’ll go out.
He said then left.
My forehead furrowed as my gaze followed him out the door.
"Instead of asking me of what I want for lunch, it would be much better if he ask me to go with him.'
I muttered as I shoved some of his belongings back into the bag.
After arranging my things, I lay down on the bed for a while.
This cottage is not that big, just perfect for a couple.
One bed, bathroom and a small balcony and a beach front view.
From here on the bed I could see the open balcony and the blue sea.
It was so good to feel the air coming in.
As I lay down for a wwhile, I heard a sudden knock on the door. So I stood up to see who was outside.
"Irish? '
She was carrying a bag of chips and cans of beer.
She smiled as she entered even though she was not invited yet.
"Oh, are you alone? ' Where is Ralf?
"He went out to buy food.
"Oh, is that so?
She said briefly then sat on the floor, she opened the bag she was carrying then handed me the can of beer.
"Beer? Isn't it too early for this?
I said. I took the beer but I just dropped it somewhere because I had no intention of drinking.
"Come on! You're so boring, you know?'
Irish said then opened a can and gulped it down.
“Hello? A beer for an empty stomach? Good luck to me.'
" I will eat first.
I gasped so that she wouldn't say a word.
" How long has he gone out?
Irish asked as she chewed on the chips.
"I'm not sure. About an hour ,I guess?
She looked next to me as I stood up and adjusted my clothes.
“And where are you going?
"I'll follow him, I'm starving!
I said while fixing my hair and found the mirror glued to the wall of the room.
She also stood up and returned the scattered chips to the bag.
"All right, all right I'll join you.
She said before going out the door.
As we walked, I just thought of asking her about the woman earlier at the reception.
“Woman, who?
She told me after I described the woman to her.
“I’m not sure, but I think Ralf knows her?
I answered.
"Maybe it's his friend? Or it's a co -worker, and it's just a coincidence that they met here.
Irish said.
"But no, I also saw her in Ralf's office, I don't think she's an employee in the company.
I saw her eyebrow rise.
"So what? You think she's a mistress of your husband?
Although I won’t admit it, that's exactly what I had in mind.
"Oh my! Don't think too much"
Let's find something to eat, maybe it's just hunger.
He then took me in one of my arms.
When we entered the restaurant, Ivan raised his hands.
We walked to his table and decided to sit there.
"Brunch? (Breakfast+Lunch)
He asked with a smile when we reached his table.
"Wow, that looks delicious!
Irish exclaimed when she saw the pancake with toppings of melted chocolate bars and sliced strawberries on the table.
“Sure you can have it!
Ivan said when he saw that her sister seemed very greedy.
I, on the other hand, am busy choosing food from the menu.
"Can't decide what to eat? '
Ivan turned to me.
“Na! Nothing yet'
I smiled and said.
"You know what? I'll just order food for you ', I know what you'll like.
He said and doesn't lose his sweet smile on his face even for a moment.
We're only about a step apart, and I sit close to him.
“I’ll be back, just a minute.
He said before he got up and left to order food for me.
How fortunate I am because I have cousins who are close to me like him and of course Irish who always take care of me.
"Ohh!! It's so good and delicious! Wanna try?
Irish said happily and she obviously enjoyed the food she stole from form Ivan.
But the grin on her face disappeared immediately, I wondered why she was stunned so I turned to where she was looking.
I feel like my muscles are shaking, is it just because of hunger or because my husband is in front of me now and with that woman.
"You come out? I hope you waited for me at the cottage, I looked for you.
Ralf said
I turned my gaze to Irish who was sitting in front of me.
"I'm hungry so I can't wait for you."
I say weakly.
He walked over to the vacant seat next to me. And so did the woman who sat next to Irish.
Irish looked at me as if her eyes were questioning.
“Have you ordered?
Ralf asked. I feel something is wrong, because he doesn't talk to me like this, he's usually angry and frowns when I'm in front of him, but in these moments his voice is calm as if he's an exemplary husband who worries about his wife.
Before I could answer, Ivan arrived with a tray of food for me.
I saw how Ivan looked at the two newcomers.
When the tray landed, he immediately greeted Ralf who was looking at him.
"Ralf! ' Nice to see you!
-How are you bro? '
Ivan said enthusiastically that I knew he was wondering what was going on. Then he sat down in the vacant seat next to me.
"I'm going to share a table, after all, we all know each other."
Ralf said.
"Hi! I'm sorry if I even shared a table,
By the way "I'm Cindy, I'm a friend of the groom.
There is no trace of shame in her words.
I stared at her for a moment. And I think she noticed that, so she looked back at me.
“Nice to meet you,” Cindy !.
I just said while slicing a few layers of sandwich on my plate.
"Hi! And you are?
She asked me in return.
"She's my wife! '
I was just stunned for a moment.
I saw the woman's reaction to Ralf's answer, it seemed disappointing but of course she tried to hide it.
