"Barnard?”
The man was silent, only a flat expression he showed. “I am your wife. She's just your girlfriend, you should have spent more time with me!” being fed up, Elena was able to get angry in the end. Is it not right to be angry about the affair that happened to her husband?
"El!”
“Can you stay out of my business?”
Elena fell silent for a moment, she bit her lower lip in fear. The husband then moved to the second floor. "Barnard," called Elena. The man stopped stepping. His hands were firmly clenched. He looked up, still standing on the stairs. “What do you really think I am?”
“Do you see marriage as a game?”
“Am I a statue in your life?”
“I am indeed poor. I'm shameless. I owe a lot to your family,” the girl almost dropped her tears. Talking is almost crying. “But, Barnard. This poor girl is your wife. You should remember that.”
For some reason, the man's mood became unsettled. He walked towards the girl. “Are you finished talking?”
“I don't care what you say, Elena. I won't. You had better get changed. My parents are coming soon!"Barnard commands in a voice that is never low.
“One more thing, don't be childish!”
“What? I'm a child? Okay, if you think of me that way. I'd Better Never Again act in this crazy household.”
"You...”
Elena ran upstairs. Go to the room in tears. Stinging is amazing. Barnard should have been home earlier. However, the man was busy dating a lover he should have left a long time ago. They are clearly legitimate. With Jasmine, there was no obvious connection. Arriving in the room, Elena sat down on the sofa. Sobbing.
His head lowered slightly, his hands rubbed against the tears that had fallen. Still sobbing, he walked to the bed. Barnard's parents are coming soon. I want to spend the night in that house. Meet to Melt longing. But, Elena's feelings are still messed up.
Barnard let Elena go to the room. She then went to the kitchen. I was surprised that there was so much food on the dining table. Barnard sighed. It was as if a strange feeling was pounding his heart. But he ignored that feeling. Barnard's not getting any water. He checked on Elena. His parents will be here soon. “Ck." Said Barnard.

Sighing, ruffled at the waist, the man called his wife, who was lying on the mattress. The body was covered with a blanket. “El, wake up quickly. You don't want your parents to think-”
Barnard frowned at the sound of sobs. It's no longer strange. The girl cried. With her strength, Barnard pulled the blanket. Elena clenched her hands together and covered her crying face. The tears were in tears. Elena sobbed. Barnard exhaled irritably. “Stop crying.”
He grabbed her hand forcefully. "Barnard is sick...”
"Wake Up El. Don't overdo it!”
"Hiks...”
“Don't you see what time it is? In 1 hour my parents will arrive at 10 pm.”
"To-please leave me alone,” Elena tried to remove her hand from the man's rough grip. Barnard let him go. He threw away his face. Not looking at my husband's face. Barnard said again, “I'll wait for you outside. Hurry up and get dressed.”
The girl did not respond to the only sobs that were heard. How could he not care for himself? At a time like this, he just doesn't care. Still no feelings for Elena. You can't just speak softly.
“I ... I have to dare to say everything. I don't want to keep getting stuck.”
Elena wiped tears on her cheeks. Hazel forced herself to smile. “The Spirit Of El. You could have missed this whole thing.”

Elena laughed with Barnard, fake laughter. Not really laughing. It was just to appreciate his parents at the front. Bryan and Bella bribed their food again. Bella nodded her head. Elena's cooking is so delicious. There is nothing wrong with having a daughter-in-law like Elena. The brown-haired woman did not hesitate to praise Elena's homemade dishes. And Elena was happy about it. I wish Barnard was like his parents. Real kind. Maybe he'll be happy.
In between meals, Bryan gave his son a message to take good care of Elena. Can't hurt that girl. It teaches you to be yourself who is responsible for your family.
Bella drank water after finishing her meal. “Ah I'm very full, Elena, thank you very much for the cooking.”
"You don't have to thank me,” Elena said. He took mineral water and drank it. The meal was over.

“How is your relationship? How far have you come? Mom, do you-“
"Ma," said Barnard.
Bella frowned. She looked at her husband, who only smiled. “Honey, I want you to have children soon. I want to hold your child. Right, Dad?”
“Yes, Barnard, Elena. The sooner the better. I also want to raise grandchildren.”
Elena glanced the other way. Swallowing saliva. Don't think about the child. The two of them never said anything romantic. "Barnard, Elena, don't you want to hurry?" said Bella softly.
“Want.”
“No.”
Put the two together. However, the difference in answers made Bella and Bryan surprised. "Barnard?”
“That...I also want to, but not at the moment.”
"Barnard, you don't want to fulfill your own mother's wish?”
Barnard gently took Bella's hand. "Ma, Barnard will make it happen," Barnard smiled. I won't touch someone I don't love!' continued the inner.
'Especially in relation to Elena,' he said again.
"Really?”
“Yes, Ma.”
“Isn't that right, Elena?”
Elena nodded slightly. Keep trying to be okay in front of everything. This guy is best at acting. Naturally, his parents are easy to believe. However, Elena had to stop immediately after this was over. After Barnard's parents left, Elena had to assert everything. She doesn't want to be a stupid woman. "Elena?"said Bella.
“Yes, Mam.”
“May I speak to you for a moment?”
“You Can Mam.”
Bella got up, “come on.” He said, moving closer to Elena and grasping Elena's hand. In his heart, Barnard felt fear. I don't know what Bella is going to tell Elena. He hoped the girl could keep her word. Under the table, his hands clenched tightly. "Barnard?”
“Yes, Pa?"Barnard immediately turned his head. “Accompany Papa to play chess."Barnard nodded.
Inside the room, Elena still couldn't believe the gift Bella had given her. More precisely, for Elena and Barnard. The sight of it made Elena cold. But, he should be kind as well as happy. Although he was himself surprised, “Honey, are you okay?”
“Yes Mam.”
“If Barnard is rude to you, you tell Mama. Don't hide anything from Mom.”
Elena nodded slightly. But, to be honest, Elena couldn't. To reveal the truth, his lips could not speak. So...'what should I do for the future?’
