Chapter 378 - Forced To Lie
When it was four in the afternoon, Keyra had just woken up from her sleep. She had been at Aaron's apartment since this afternoon because her mother who was waiting for her at home did not come home and she did not pick up the phone. The woman got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to wash her face.
Keyra walked with a limp towards the bathroom. Her whole body ached from Aaron's always harsh treatment.
"Where is he, has he run away?" Keyra glanced at the sofa and didn't find Aaron there. Because before she went to sleep, her husband was lying there smoking a cigarette. The woman only saw the number of cigarette butts left on the table, even though there were already ashtrays available. 'You filthy!' She was annoyed.
Feeling uncomfortable with the dirty table, Keyra canceled her intention to go to the bathroom and immediately cleaned up the remnants of the cigarette butts and threw them into the trash can located near the door.
Drett... Drett.
She glanced at her phone which was on the table, it was ringing. She immediately walked to the table near the bed, then grabbed her phone and saw that there was an incoming call from her mother.
"Hello, Mom," Keyra greeted when she was connected to her mother, then sat on the edge of the bed.
"Hello, honey. You came to the house earlier, didn't you? I'm so sorry, I didn't know that you called, because my phone was left in the boutique while I was having lunch outside." Luna said from the phone. Her voice sounded like she was worried. Maybe because she felt guilty.
"It's all right, Mom." Keyra felt sad when she heard her mother was worried about her. She felt very guilty if she shared her burden with her mother who had even reminded her before marriage. 'It's all my fault and I'll try to resuscitate Aaron. I'm sure mom wasn't the cause of Aaron's dad's death because mom was a gentle and kind woman."
"Keyra, are you still there?" asked Luna over the phone.
Keyra, who was daydreaming until she was crying, returned her focus to the phone. "Yes, Mom. I'm still here."
"Keyra, are you crying? Why. Tell mommy?" Luna asked, sounding worried, maybe she could hear Keyra's voice like she was holding back tears.
"Eh yes, Mom. I miss the atmosphere of home," said Keyra while wiping her tears. It was useless if she said not to cry because her mother had already heard the sound of her crying. Her tears broke even more imagining how stupid she was for betraying her mother's trust, making her feel even more guilty.
"Honey, if you are married, you should go with your husband...if you miss the atmosphere of home, you can invite your husband to stay here, because at night all family members gather. Then will ask Keenan to come with his wife if you will come too. Do not be sad anymore."
"Yes, Mom." Keyra wiped her tears as the money continued to flow.
"Tomorrow mommy will take you and Aaron to the airport. Because daddy has already arranged honeymoon plans for you and Aaron."
"Yes, Mom. Thank you for everything. I love mom and dad," Keyra said then sucked her snot that suddenly came out because she was crying.
"Mommy loves you too.OK, don't cry anymore. Be happy with Aaron, mommy always prays for you to last forever."
"Yes, Mom." Keyra's gaze turned to Aaron, who had just arrived and was standing in front of the door, staring at her with a cold gaze. She quickly wiped her tears and turned her attention back to the phone.
"Mom, it looks like I have to take a shower and cook for Aaron. It's already late. Coincidentally, there isn't a housekeeper here yet. So, I have to cook myself," Keyra said while looking scared at Aaron, who continued to monitor her.
"Yes, honey. When you come home from Paris, you have to hire a housekeeper, because I don't want you to be exhausted from taking care of boutiques and apartments."
"Yes, Mom. I'll turn off the phone first," said Keyra.
"Yes, Dear."
Keyra immediately hung up the phone and put the phone on the bedside table. She turned to look at Aaron who was walking towards her with eyes so sharp as if they wanted to pounce on her, making her scared and tremble. Her body was still in pain, she couldn't bear to be in pain anymore.
"What did you say to Luna, huh? Did you complain?" asked Aaron.
Keyra shook her head while backing her body to the middle of the bed because Aaron moved closer to her face.
"Then why cry if you don't complain? Don't make me hate me even more, you idiot!" Aaron cupped Keyra's cheek with one firm hand, causing Keyra to be in pain.
"I… I didn't say anything, Aaron. I cry because I miss the atmosphere of home," explained Keyra while removing Aaron's hand from her cheek. She immediately got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to wash her face, because she didn't have time.
"Just be careful if you lie, I will expose your disgrace that will embarrass your family!" Aaron threatened while staring intently at Keyra who immediately stopped in front of the bathroom door.
"That will not happen, because I have accepted this marriage," said Keyra.
Aaron was silent and allowed Keyra to go to the bathroom, while he immediately threw himself onto the bed in a prone position. The man felt sleepy, even the smell of his breath was very distinctive from the smell of alcohol. Hmm, he must be drunk again.

Keenan squirmed, then felt his right side to look for Jasmine's whereabouts. But his wife was not there, which made him immediately open his eyes and sit down.
'Where is Jasmine?' Keenan thought, then glanced at the newly opened bedroom door. A smile spreads across his lips when he sees that the incoming one is his wife who already looks fresh and beautiful by wearing a red knee-length mini dress with a cream-colored top and braiding her long hair, but not too tight.
"From where?" asked Keenan who was still shirtless and only wearing a blanket to cover his lower body.
"Eat," said Jasmine as she picked up Keenan's clothes that were still scattered on the floor.
"You are evil! Why don't you eat with me?" Keenan protested with a look of disapproval.
"You're so sound asleep, I couldn't bear to wake you up," Jasmine said.
"Still, you make me have to eat alone and I don't like that."
Jasmine sighed, then sat on the edge of the bed. She smiled smugly at her husband who was angry over a trivial matter. She looked like he wanted to be pampered, like five-year-old lacking independence.
"Sure, I'll accompany you to eat later. You'd better take a shower now because I promised to see Dr. Susan this afternoon," said Jasmine.
"Bathing me," said Keenan spoiled.
"Hem, if I bathe you, I'm sure it's not just a bath." Jasmine thought her husband would ask to be served by her again. "Honey, you must remember that I am pregnant, must not be exhausted...If I continue to indulge your desire to make love, I will be exhausted and will harm our child's health."
"Does it have any effect?" Keenan asked raising his eyebrows.
"Of course, because making love is so exhausting," Jasmine replied with a shy smile.
"But you often ask for sex lately," said Keenan, then got out of bed with a naked body. It made Jasmine chuckle and be tempted when she saw her husband's lower body tense like he was about to shoot. Oh, is he going to ask for love again?
