THIRTEEN

= POV 3 =

"Busy?"

There is nothing more enjoyable than seeing the smile and brown eyes that the man with the wings tattoo has in front of Sarah today.

Man - no, more precisely, her husband. A legal partner that Sarah should be able to have ultimately. Not belonging to other women, let alone other men is a perfect male figure in the eyes of women.

He has a pointed chin with a small face. His body was thin but solid. His fashionable style has made him repeatedly lined up as a talented young designer. His smile is also attractive, especially the dimples he has; it is a plus point for how simple he is but also charming at the same time. Many girls want to have it, including Sarah, who is her childhood friend.

But Sarah still lost. Losing competitiveness with someone who won her husband's heart first. Even though the status of the marriage is binding, what is more, important than a marriage without loving each other?

Oh ... poor Sarah doesn't have that.

"I heard, the creative team reject your project?"

Sarah put her head on the table. Staring lazily at her husband, who she knew was comforting her. Looking at her was full of peace and a soothing taste even though she only showed Sarah her white teeth. Little deeds that matter.

A smile bloomed like a flower that had just flared up. Whose heart is not pinched to see such a beautiful sight? But not enough to make Sarah sigh.

"They gave me a week. This is driving me crazy!" Sarah's frustrated cries affected her listeners.

With a faint smile, Richie reached out his hand, ruffling Sarah's hair, which was as messy as he thought.

Sarah was suddenly nervous. His heart was beating as usual.

The heat rose and fell from the heart to his face. And so on like blood vessels flowing through his body's blood and nutrients at a rate less than a second.

The effect of her husband's charisma is indeed no joke. Even though this is not the first time, they have spoken to each other. Many times already. But it seems that only Sarah admires one-sidedly. Not for Richie who didn't even want her on the list of women he wanted to marry.

"Alex is a professional. Trust him."

"Is that true? Isn't it because he doesn't like me? " Sarah said, slightly sarcastically.

Richie chuckled, “No. He's not a vengeful person. "

"You adore him too much, Richie."

Richie looked too seriously at Sarah. Don't you know that has a different effect? It even survived every strand of Sarah's mane that she gently caressed.

Sarah's mind also occurred to her question that she had asked Alex yesterday.

How can Richie be like this?

Being gay like now?

Why?

But Sarah did not raise the question until the ringing of the telephone broke all the intense gazes of the two of them.

Maybe the devil did become the second barrier after the demon named Alex - that was the girl's simple mind.

"Yes, Mam?"

Richie answered the call in a flat tone.

Tilted his head up for a moment then turned to his wife, who now hoped to be told what she was talking about.

Richie nodded while saying "Yes" in his last conversation with the mother, who is also now Sarah's mother-in-law.

Sarah's face turned tense more than usual. Expect anxious at what Richie will tell him. Sarah hopes that's not bad news. Or maybe a plan to have children?

Ah! It could be.

"Mom wants us both to go out to dinner together. Get ready; we'll be there in half an hour."

#

Nothing bad happened. Will not.

The spell Sarah invented to get rid of her nervousness. This is their first meeting after getting married. So it's no wonder, Sarah seems unfamiliar with her job - as a wife - which she hasn't even done it well for a month.

Sarah is not unwilling. But he didn't stand a chance.

Alex continues with her. Not to mention their separate rooms. They were one house, but Alex was always there wherever Richie went. Even before leaving here, Sarah could feel that man's unpleasant aura. He stood staring coldly at Sarah and Richie alternately before Richie finally explained that his mother wanted to have dinner together. Of course, Alex was not invited to this event.

"You look happy, miss Sarah?" said Alex, watching Sarah try on the dress Richie had rented her.

The colour is maroon red to reveal a little cleavage. Sarah was pretty confident that her chest wasn't too bad. With her back slightly open, Richie advised Sarah to curl her hair.

Sarah replied to Alex with an equally cold gaze, “Is it too obvious? Yes .. I'm so happy. "

Alex suddenly touched Sarah's open shoulder. Raising the strap of the dress and whispering seductively, "You are better suited to let your hair down."

Sarah shivered. The atmosphere became awkward after the man left.

"Why don't you guys go on a honeymoon? Mom and dad can prepare your trip. Where? Europe? America or -" asked Dalton's aunt, who successfully made Sarah wake up from her reverie.

"We're still busy, Mom. After the launch of the goods, I took Sarah on her honeymoon."

Richie is still indifferent when answering his mother's question. As if he had prepared the answer. Sarah didn't even know whether to believe it or think of it as wishful thinking.

Who knows when she will go on her honeymoon. Like a newly married couple. Presumably ... it will never happen.

"Fine if that wants you guys. Sarah, are you all right?"

Sarah gasped with confusion. To keep her husband's secret, Sarah nodded back and confidently assured her husband's sweet promise.

"I am also busy working on my project. So it seems that it should be postponed first. "

"I want to hasten my grandchildren. I hope you don't plan to put it off any longer."

Sarah choked at the words of her Mom. That was an impossible request.

Their marriage even had to end next year.

"Slow down -" said Richie, looking worried.

Again..

Is this just acting? Richie's treatment tonight, really confused Sarah.

Richie looked too convincing.

Sweep after sweep that Richie did on the corner of Sarah's lips, really made anyone bow their heads in shame. They look so harmonious and affectionate.

Richie Mom even looked away because she blushed.

Sarah notices the atmosphere is becoming strange and unusual. Until she was the one who stopped Richie's strange treatment.

Actually that's natural sarah. He's your husband .. It should be natural for him to pay special attention.

Just you and him.

Not with the others.

The cell phone was again the reason Sarah began to hate this well-built atmosphere.

After struggling to adapt to new things, Sarah must be disappointed by Richie's desire to leave dinner early.

"What is wrong? Did something happen?"
