His Wife

After she bade and watched Lisa drove off, Luna closed the front door and washed all the dishes. She picks up her backpack and phones before switching off the lights. She held Lily's hand, as they strode towards the master bedroom. After what happened at the hypermarket, she decided to bring her daughter to sleep together, to which Lily comply happily.

She needed a sort of comfort, an assurance that she can faced and achieved anything, as long as she still has Lily in her life. Lily is a life reminder for her to stay stronger, to never give up, to remain courageous and composed. 'Yes, I still have Lily by my side. We can discuss and find a solution to whatever reasons that made him cheating on me. I believed he will come around. He must be.' Luna monologued. With the new mindset, she kissed and cuddled her daughter as they drifted off to dreamland.

Meanwhile, Alex drove back home with a determination to come clean and talk to his wife. He decided to get a divorce and marry his girlfriend, Cindy, regardless of anything. He fell in love with Cindy, after spending a lot of time with her. His feeling towards Cindy was much stronger than how he felt for Luna.

Speaking of Luna, the first time he saw her was during one of her company product launch event, six months after she joined the Mu Corp. She was the lead engineer of the project.

The product was used to assist the tunnel breakers to be aligned from both ends of a hill. So that the breakers will meet at the middle with minimize error, as low as 0.02m. Although the product seem as simple as that, the overall cost of building the high speed train tunnel can be reduced by forty-five percent. If either of the breakers move forward without the product, it may caused a huge mishap that can forced the company to forked out a big amount of money to cover up the repairation cost and started the process from the beginning. Worst of all, it may caused the hill to collapsed and took the workers lives thus resulting the high speed train project to be delayed or fully stopped.

She stood proudly and confidently in the middle of the stage among all the males workers. She adorned a small polite smile on her face. Her confidence doesn't diminished a bit even though she stood in front of many big bosses and reporters.

Alex parks his car beside his wife's car. Although Luna is more richer than him, she never bought a car which was more expensive than his. Albeit he had changed his car three times, Luna still drove her MPV for six years. He did not know why she so adamant to drove the MPV when she can had a more premium car.

He shakes his head and punch in the password. What greeted him is a dark room. He switched on the lights. He frowned as he thought Luna and his daughter not yet home at this hour. He glances at his expensive watch gifted by Luna for his thirtieth birthday three weeks before. It's quarter to 11pm. He frowned further.

Suddenly, he remembered Luna's car parked at the front. Thus he assumed both of them had slept. But usually Luna was still awake at this hour, waiting for him to come home everyday, unless he went outstation. But he just brushed it off, maybe Luna was exhausted. He took of his coat and put it on the sofa. He scanned the house interior. Everything was perfectly decorated and cleaned by Luna. Not even a speck of dust can be seen on the floor.

He felt thirsty and suddenly realized, usually Luna would fetched him a glass of water the moment he came back home. He lazily stood up and strode towards the kitchen to dispensed some water. Then he saw a small sticky note on the kitchen island with Luna elegant and neat handwriting.

"I cooked some shrimp fettucine alfredo. I stored your potion in the microwave. Just warmed it up for 5 minutes without the lid. Good night."

He proceeds to warm up the pasta. Luna is a skilled cook. Everything she cooked was delicious. Many people felt envious towards him because he got married to a dream woman. Luna was a beautiful woman with tall height of 172cm and a body to die for. But she never wore short skirts, shorts or sexy dresses outside the house. As long as he remembered, Luna always wore pantsuits, sometimes long skirts, or long dresses. If she didn't has any formal occasions that needed her to pay extra attention to her clothes, she always loved to wore a casual or loungewear. She only wore shorts in the house.

She was also a great cook and she managed the household properly. She was intelligent, diligent and independent woman. Overall, she was a beauty with brains. He felt lucky when he married her, but now...he did not know.
