"I miss my wife" said Harry. This kind of conversation always confused Samuel. Why would he call him when he missed his own wife?
Before Samuel could even have a chance to speak, Harry complained to him disapprovingly: "When I just found my wife, yours had already asked her out." She had left him alone again.
Oh. Now Samuel was feeling more relieved.
"Where did they go? I'll go right now and pick up my wife. I need to speak with her!" He now got up from his chair where he was sitting and left the apartment.
Harry told him about the place where the two had planned on going. Samuel frowned for a bit, got in the car and firmly pressed his foot on the accelerator and drove to where he said.
On his way there, when he passed by a shopping mall, Samuel pondered for a moment at the sight of it, parked his car on the side of the road and entered one of its shops.
Ten Minutes Later
He put a small black leather box into one of his pockets and started to drive again to where his wife was.
At the Twilight Bar.
The two women sat in a quiet corner of the bar.
They ordered two cocktails and started chatting with one another.
"So, what's up?" asked one of them. Lola took a sip of her cocktail and curiously looked at the woman gulping her drink on the other side of the table.
Ella drank half a glass of cocktail breathlessly and only after put the glass down on the table and started speaking: "Lola, do you know how suffocating it can be to be with a man who doesn't love you?" Ella started to unburden herself of her secrets.
"But I saw that the two of you were just fine the other day" replied Lola. Samuel had just bought her a mansion, and this was only just two days ago. What had happened between them in the meanwhile?
Ella drank the other half of the cocktail and ordered the waiter to bring her another one.
She admired Lola so much and the vitality she evoked with her red, blushing cheeks. "It was because of his ex-girlfriend, and something also happened, too..." Ella told her friend the whole story.
Lola was confused. "Didn't Samuel show that he loved you and trusted you by buying you that house? What are you now so angry about?" Samuel sounded to be better than her Harry. He absolutely trusted his ex-girlfriend at that time.
But she wouldn't believe that. She would go back and "torture" him a little more tonight.
By now, Ella had finished two cocktails, but was
It all starts on that fateful night.
When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…
"I don’t want a divorce!"
"I don’t want a divorce!"
"I did no such thing!"
Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...
me myself, " she replied. But a tall and distinguished man appeared in her sight even before her words ended.
With a deep sigh, she began to wonder since when had Harry begun to be so clingy.
She had been out for only less than an hour, and here he was again, out looking for her.
"All right, all right, don't cry." Samuel comforted the sobbing little woman in his arms a little, took out a tissue from the table and handed it to her.
Ella wiped away the tears and finally stopped crying.
"Hon." However loud the music in the bar was, it still couldn't cover up Harry's gentle voice..
Lola waved at Harry: "Hello to you too, Boss Si."
"You naughty girl" replied Harry. Harry held Lola tight in his arms, and laid a kiss on her gentle lips.
Ella was stunned by this scene of public love show and kept her eyes on them with interest. At the glance of this scene, Samuel was very dissatisfied to see Ella gazing at Lola and Harry instead of him. He forced her back to look at him.
"Let's go home. And let's talk more to each other at home."
Ella nodded sluggishly. If her Sam said they had to go home, they would go home.
"See you later, Mr. and Mrs. Si." Samuel waved at them, and then left the bar, holding Ella tight in his arms.
Harry and Lola stayed there for a while. Soon, Lola couldn't stand anymore the glances that Harry was receiving from all the women nearby and they left the bar.
In the Apartment
Samuel pressed Ella down on the sofa, nipped her nose and asked: "Do you like the ring?" He asked about the ring on her finger that he had just bought for her as a surprise.
