I’m Just His Wife

After he ate, I wiped his mouth and gave him medicine. I laid him down properly on the bed and he slowly fell asleep.

I smiled miserably and stroked her hair. He was fine and relatively well. He also stayed in the hospital for four days so I was very worried. But the doctor said that her fever and allergies were not that bad.

So from now on, I will double the care of her. I don’t want this to happen to her again. Because just in case, I might not be able to cope.

I sighed and decided to go down first to cook lunch. When I went downstairs, the housemates were still very clean. The things in this house were so shiny e.

Lara, the feeling se? orita, was just as bossy. I also wondered why he wasn’t here now and yelled at the housemates. Thankfully, it looks like my day will be peaceful even for a moment.

I stopped the housemates from cleaning first and let them rest. Unfortunately for them, their sweat was already dripping with cleanliness.

“Me, Mam, thank you. You’re really smart. We still like you boss more than Mam Lara. You have a bad attitude.” A housemate said so we all laughed.

Oh right? Someone else was saying that Lara’s behavior was bad. Tsk, I don’t know that Ivan’s taste was like that. He wanted a bad and beautiful woman. Different class really.

I went to the kitchen and peeked at the refrigerator. I just sighed when I saw that the food stock was low. I just disappeared a few days after this right away?

I saw Marilyn smiling, she was the youngest maid here and she was Manang Lisa’s granddaughter.

“Ate, there’s really little food there because Mam Lara cooks a lot of dishes every day. The others were just wasted.” Aniya.

My blood boiled. Why, the thickness of his face would tamper with my kitchen. I just went to the grocery store last week and ran out right away? Annoying!

I saw Manang Lisa approaching us. I would have smiled at him when I saw what he was eating. Chicken sandwich.

I covered my mouth and quickly approached the sink and there vomited. The smell of that sandwich was sour. Disgusting.

I vomited everything I ate, including my insides. After I vomited I took a glass and gargled. I took a face towel and wiped it in my mouth.

I leaned over the sink and swallowed my senses. I saw Manang and Marilyn looking at me in shock. I swallowed, I looked like a buking ata.

“A … Ate why were you vomiting?” Marilyn’s eyes widened when she asked me.

My mouth opened but I couldn’t speak so I picked it up again. I averted my eyes. What were you going to do, Ella?

“Daughter, ma’am … were you pregnant?” Manang asked seriously.

I close my eyes tightly and sigh. I guess, I have no choice. I need to tell her.

I nodded slowly while still closing my eyes. I sighed when I felt Manang hug me. I don’t know but suddenly my tears flowed.

I hugged back to Manang and cried on her shoulder. I’m crying because … I’m pregnant but my husband doesn’t love me. What a pity for my baby. He looks like a man who doesn’t have a whole family.

After I cried, Manang rubbed my cheek and smiled at me.

“You’re pregnant again. I have a new pet …” Manang put the hair that was blocking my face behind my ear.

“Manang …”

“Does Ivan already know this, sister?” Manang asked.

My mouth fell open. “No …” I answered.

Manang sighed. “were you going to tell her, daughter? She’s still the father of the one you’re pregnant with …”

I shook. “I have no intention of telling her about this, Manang. I don’t want to hope and get hurt. It’s okay for her to lie to me and for her to leave Lara here …”

“But …” Manang sighed and didn’t continue what he was going to say. “Oh hey, go ahead. If that’s what you want. But take care of yourself, daughter. They might notice …”

I smiled and nodded. I’ll make sure other people don’t find out about my pregnancy …

Here I am today in a supermarket in a mall. I go to the grocery store because I have run out of food at home. I pretended to be the one to go to the grocery store because the housemates were very tired.

Manang should go with me here, in case I told him I would be alone and he would just rest. So I”m the only one doing grocery now.

I go to the meat section and get some meat that I will need for cooking. Some time later I heard someone call me.

“RIGELLA!”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I turned to the source of that voice and saw a pregnant woman. She has a big belly and looks like she will give birth this month.

The woman approached me and smiled at me. My forehead furrowed. His face was familiar but I can’t remember if I knew him.

“Hi, how were you?” He asked eagerly.

I was swallowed. “Uhm, it’s okay. Pwe … Can I know your name?” I’m embarrassed to say.

He laughed and stared. Wait … “What were you! It’s me, Darlyn! Kuya Seymour’s sister. You’re serious, we were classmates in high school. You forgot about me right away?”

My forehead furrowed for a moment and my eyes widened as I remembered who he was. “Darlyn? Darlyn Louise?” I was shocked by the question.

He immediately hugged me and I hugged him back. She”s Darlyn! Seymour’s brother who was stable but kind. She was also good at baking and she used to bake cookies for me.

When we let go of the hug he looked at me from head to toe so embarrassed I just smiled at him.

“Awful! You’re still beautiful and sexy. Blooming ah!”

I laughed. “You too.”

“Hala, it’s nothing! I’m just beautiful now, I’m not sexy anymore. My stomach was balloon oh. I’m menstruating …” he said with a smile and caressed her stomach.

I smiled. “were you married yet?” I will ask.

I saw his smile fade and his frown. ‘tsk, yes. It’s a stupid case, so … well, I plan to separate …” he said sadly.

“Ha? How’s that, you’re still pregnant and you’re going to give birth?” I’m worried question.

He grinned raw. “Hayst, let it go. That husband of mine was stupid, he should be left to that cheater. He doesn’t lack anything. I like it.”
