12 Chapter 11

It was almost midnight and Laras was still daydreaming looking out the window looking at the raindrops that fell and the droplets stuck to the bedroom window glass, until a black car entered the yard of the house making her daydreams stop for a moment, and Laras knew who the owner of the car was.

Laras immediately walked over to her big bag which was already filled with her clothes in the closet, he had been thinking about it since morning. If he was the one who made Rio not feel at home at home, then he would return to her room all, in the maid's room to be more precise. For the reason she was going to tell Steven's father-in-law, let her think about it later. Laras walked towards the door to open it, but the door was opened first from the outside.

"You?" Rio asked with an indescribable look in his eyes, he looked at the bag that Laras was carrying. "What's that?" Rio asked again.

"E-mmm this? My clothes, I'm moving out of this room. Isn't that why you never comes home?" she answered in a low voice.

Rio took a deep breath and massaged his temples. Laras made his mind grow even more.

"That's enough, don't make any more drama." Rio answered briefly, he understood what was in Laras's mind, she definitely wanted to move to the downstairs room. More precisely in the maid's room that she had been in from the start. And if that happens, then there will be another drama that will happen in this house. Enough thought Rio, he didn't want any more fuss.

Rio took the bag that was in Laras's hand then pushed the body back into the room, not forgetting that Rio closed the door.

"Enough of your troubles, Laras, there's already a lot of trouble in this house. Don't add more." He said coldly with emphasis and voice raised, he was sure everyone was a sleep. So no one will hear it.

"So how about you? If I stay here, You won't come home right? I-daddy always asks you." Laras do not have the heart to it if Rio had to go back and forth to the apartment and home just to change his needs, and his father-in-law always asked her about Rio.

"Then I'll stay here." Said Rio casually.

"You mean?"

"Of course I'll sleep in this room. With you. Got it? Now you better make me some food, I'm hungry." Rio walked over to the wardrobe as he untied his tie and started to unbutton his shirt. Seeing that, Laras quickly turned around so as not to see Rio's body that was about to be naked. Possible?

This made Rio wince.

"Why turn around? We're already married, why should we be ashamed?"

DEG

Marry? The words that came out of Rio's mouth made a pounding in Laras's chest, don't you realize that the words that Rio just said made the door of hope in Laras's heart slightly open? But quickly Laras shook her head. She must return to her feet on the earth. She couldn't open her heart one bit, she had to be aware.

"Th-that's you, what should I cook?"

"Whatever, but don't eat too heavy because it's getting late. I want to take a shower first."

"Hmmm...okay."

About twenty minutes Laras was struggling with the kitchen utensils, and the food was now ready. Only eggs mixed with vegetables and chicken breast, and she had prepared a bowl of rice. Rio must have needed a lot of energy after working all day at the office.

Footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. And it was Rio who had finished with his shower, he went straight to the dining table. He was really hungry, he looked at the bowl of rice and omelet that had been prepared by Laras, it turned out that Laras was listening to his words.

"Where are you going?" Rio asked when Laras was about to leave the dining room.

"That, I'll wait in the living room. Wouldn't you not like it if I was here while you were eating food."

Rio took a deep breath.

"Okay, today I'm tired and I'm lazy to argue with you. Now sit down and just wait for me to finish eating."

"A-ah, okay." In the end Laras sat across from the chair occupied by Rio.

Rio started eating his food, starting with one bite, two bites. But something was strange, he raised his head. He saw it across the dining table Laras who kept her head down, made Rio strange to see her.

"What happened to you?" he asked Laras .

"It's okay, it's just. Is my cooking to your taste? I'm afraid it won't taste good."

Rio looked back at the omelet that was now in his chopsticks.

"Hm, this is delicious. I like it."

Hearing those words of praise, Laras immediately raised her head. For the first time Rio praised himself, should Laras be happy? Of course, with that simple sentence, a smile Laras unconsciously threw at Rio.

Rio was silent, just like what happened that night. Just like now, at midnight, for the first time Rio saw a smile on Laras 's lips. He again saw a different side of Laras .

"Khuk...khukk." Rio choked because he was too focused on looking at Laras .

"Rio!" Laras immediately stood up and immediately handed the drinking glass that was on the table. She faithfully patted Rio's back to feel more comfortable.

"Rio, eat slowly."

Rio put the glass back when his throat felt comfortable.

"Hmm...I know." Seeing Rio who had improved, Laras sat back in her chair.

"Ow yes...may I ask?"

"What ?"

"Since when are you close to Reza?"

"Reza?" Laras asked again, but she answered quickly. "I don't know, it's just that he suddenly always asks me for help. Especially with his assignments."

Rio nodded slowly.

"I thought there was something else."

"You mean ?"

Rio glanced at Laras.

"Nothing, I'll finish my food. I'm sleepy."

"Ah, okay."

Laras lowered her head again, she seemed to smile in silence. She felt happy, at least this was her first speak with Rio. She glanced at the plate on the table, her heart warmed even more when she saw the plate was empty because Rio finished her homemade food. It was the little things that made her happy.
