In the dining room, there are many food menus on the table. The table surrounded by twelve chippendale-style English chairs was attended by only Nick and Jess. It was silent, only the clinking of spoons could be heard. Occasionally Nick stole glances, but Jess was busy averting her eyes at the beautiful East Indian porcelain set that lay on the small dark brown table.
“Jessy, are you all right?” Nick asked after eating.
“Yes, I’m Good. I’m going to my room.”
“I will catch up after solving my problem.” Nick gave his wife a long kiss on the forehead, then walked to the library.
Examining all corners of the room, the shelves on the side of the wall store many types of books. The man often spent time there when he was single, reading books was his hobby in his spare time. The dream house had been owned for a long time before meeting and marrying Jess. Everything there seemed to be well-groomed even though in all the years-since he had been in a mental hospital, he had not visited it. Nick sat on the couch, reaching for his cell phone in his trouser pocket.
“Hello, Casio! Have you found the whereabouts of my children?” Closing his eyes, his lips pursed from holding back the feeling.
“Find them as soon as possible. Check all the cities, and I’ll give you a bonus.” Nick lowered the phone from his ear.
“Elfara, Dev! I’m sorry Daddy.” Half to death, the man held back so that the glasses in his eyes did not break so that the broad chest looked deflated.
Unsteadily walking towards the room, Nick still thought about his children, who seemed to be swallowed by the earth. He couldn’t possibly ask Jess. Apart from not remembering it, the woman must have been worried if she found out they had a missing pair of children. Jess looked at Nick in surprise.
“Nick, are you all right?” Jess’ voice broke his daydream, the man smiled and hugged Jess.
“With you, I’m fine.” Jess’ thin smile broke, she pulled away from her husband and lay down on the bed.
Jess’ maroon home dress rekindled Nick’s long-delayed desire. Nick dropped the weight on his wife’s body. Instead of being upset, Jess was happy. She again felt Nick’s aggressive kiss all over her body. Jess’ eyelids closed as she felt Nick’s tongue play against her lower body.
“Honey, I forgot there was a virtual meeting. Sorry!” Nick put his pants back on, disappointing Jess again at the wrong time. The woman just stood there in annoyance. The man should not have approached if it all ended hanging.
“Okay, I want to swim!” said Jess after she finished changing her dress. The woman left the room with a sigh that Nick could hear. Looking down sadly, Nick entered the bathroom.
“I’m sorry, Jess. I’m just too scared and impressed to take advantage of your condition. I don’t know if you remember everything, will you still accept me.” Nick muttered under the shower that had just been turned on. His desire is still raging, he has no other way to finish his youthful temper other than playing with soap.
***
All day, Nick was just busy looking for Dev and Elfara and keeping an eye on the company’s performance, which had not been monitored for a long time. The remaining time was always used to stare at the sleeping Jess. Nick feels guilty because his busy life makes his wife seem unnoticed. In fact, he knows, his wife sometimes acts as if seeking attention. If only Jess knew how much that man was suffering too.
Gripped with guilt, Nick decides to take time out to dinner with his wife, and tries to keep her accompany without any intimate rituals. Going into the dining room, he did not find his wife sitting there. In fact, the food served was almost cold. Nick looked at the clock on his wrist, it was already nine o’clock.
“Salma, has my wife eaten?” he asked the waiter.
“Sorry, Mister! She has not eaten for four days.” Salma looked down in fear.
“What?”
“Four days is not a short time! Why didn’t anyone tell me? OUTSTANDING!” Nick slammed the plate that was nearby, making Salma tremble with fear.
“Sorry, Mister! We tried to inform, but it seems that Master is very busy.” Nick shouted, again adding more and more shards of plate to the floor. Hurriedly, he walked into the room and knocked on the locked door.
“Honey, open the door!” Impatient, Nick opened the door with a spare key. His eyes widened at Jess’ condition. The woman sat with her knees bent with tears on her face.
“Honey, what happened to you?” Nick was about to give her a hug, but Jess quickly dodged.
“Why?” Nick was even more confused because the woman just cried silently.
“I’m sorry, Jess! Please forgive me!” Nick rested his head on his wife’s small shoulder. Feels like all the sadness is coming from him.
“I am indeed guilty, but don’t be like this.”
“Who exactly am I, Nick?”
“Of course, you are my wife. The only woman I love.” Nick hesitated a little when he said that. Still fresh in the memory of how he betrayed the poor woman who was by his side.
“Lie! Your attitude doesn’t show that I am your wife.” Jess said with tears still flowing.
“I’m sorry, it’s really not like that!”
“Then what is it like? If I’m your wife, why don’t you ever think about my feelings, Nick? You never touch me! Do you think I’m something really disgusting?” Jess poured her heart out in an explosive voice. Instantly, the man who was clinging at Jess’ shoulder hugged Jess very tightly. In fact, Jess felt the man’s tears trickle down some of her skin.
“Do not say that! You are the most precious, sacred diamond in my life. I’m the disgusting one, Jess. Forgive me. I’m just afraid you’ll leave me. I can’t bear to lose you again. I love you so much, Jess.”
“How can you talk like that? Tell me how can I leave you. Even in my situation like this, I always mention your name. Only you, I feel a very painful longing. Don’t you know how I pass the days feeling homesick for someone I don’t remember at all, Nick?”
“I totally understand because I feel the same way!” Nick broke the hug, then looked closely at Jess’ face.
“Jess, will you promise me? Please never leave me after this, no matter what. We will start a new life. I promise I won’t hurt you again!” Jess dived deep into Nick’s brown eyes, trying to find a hidden lie. However, Jess only saw honesty and sincerity. The woman could not refuse her conscience because at the bottom of her heart the love for Nick was too big to fight. In the end, Jess nodded with a smile.
“Thank you, Darling!” Nick kissed Jess’ forehead.
“Nick, I’m hungry!”
“How can you not be hungry, you haven’t filled your stomach for four days.” Nick smiled as he ruffled his wife’s messy hair.
“It’s because of you!”
“Okay, sorry! I will ask Salma to bring food here.”
Ten minutes, the food has arrived. They spend it by feeding each other. A true romance that never fades as long as they are together. Satisfied, the husband and wife decided to take a shower before touching their super soft mattress. Jess stripped off all the clothes in the bathroom. The shower starts to turn on after she finished brushing her teeth. A few seconds of warm water hitting, Jess felt something coil around her waist.
“Nick!” Jess was surprised when suddenly the big man hugged her from behind without a clothe.
Nick reduced the intensity of the water and started kissing the nape of Jess’ neck. The woman groaned as Nick’s big hands massaged her chest. Turning Jess’ body, the mature man kissed all parts of Jess’ body, creating as many kiss marks as possible. After making sure nothing was missed, Jess took over the game.
“Honey, let’s continue in the room.” Without waiting for approval, Nick picked up his wife and dropped her on the bed without intending to dry off first.
Again, Nick devoured Jess’ sweet mouth greedily. Turning around, Jess’ body was now on top of Nick. They groaned at each other as little Nick sank perfectly into Jess’ lower body. An indescribable sensation they reaped in every move. Finally, they arrived at the desired climax.
