Stuck In The Wrong Marriage

Happy reading….

“Are you done?” asked Haidar before getting into the car.

“Yes,” replied Hera.

After hearing Hera’s answer, Haidar immediately got into the car. His eyes were on baby Juan who was sleeping on Hera’s lap.

“He’s asleep too,” Hera continued with a small smile. “Thank you, Haidar for your understanding,” said Hera looking at Haidar sincerely. Maybe if it was someone else they would have been angry because of what happened earlier.

“It doesn’t matter. Besides, I can’t just sit there watching this hero cry,” said Haidar, pinching Juan’s cheek in exasperation but not enough to wake him up.

“Oh yeah, where are you from?” asked Hera. She had seen that Haidar had left in a bit of a hurry.

“Ah, I bought a drink and some food,” said Haidar holding up a brown paper bag in his hand. It’s impossible for him to answer honestly. Can lose the reputation of a Haidar Pratama in front of the woman he likes.

Hera rejoiced while nodding. Too bad the man was starving for waiting for her.

“Thank you again, Haidar,” said Hera. By now they had reached Hera and Jayden’s yard.

“You’ve said a lot of thanks today,” said Haidar.

Hera chuckled. “Really? Maybe because you’ve been so good to me,” she said.

“Then… why don’t you invite me to stop by as a return?” Although Haidar was serious about the question, he said it in a joking tone.

“You really want to stop by?”

“Yes… if the host doesn’t mind.”

“Of course I wouldn’t mind. Let’s go inside first!” invite Hera down first.

That’s what Haidar wanted. With Hera in a longer period of time.

When he arrived at the house, Haidar was greeted warmly by several maids who took Hera’s luggage from his hands. Meanwhile Hera had already gone up to the second floor to put Juan to sleep.

While waiting for Hera to return, Haidar looked around the house. In some corners, Hera and Jayden’s wedding photos can be seen in various sizes. Haidar chuckled then snorted.

“I should have been there. Not this man,” said Haidar, staring intently at the photo.

“Excuse me, sir. What would you like to drink?” someone asked from behind Haidar.

“I want some hot tea,” said Haidar after turning around.

“Yes sir!” said the woman passed from in front of Haidar.

The man with the black hair sat down on the golden brown sofa. Not long after, Hera was seen descending the stairs, approaching Haidar.

“Juan is still sleeping?” asked Haidar after Hera sat in front of him.

“He just woke up,” Hera replied.

“May I play with him?”

“Eh?” Hera was a little confused by Haidar’s question.

“I want to play with him because he kept crying and I was not satisfied,” said Haidar as if answering a question that never came out of Hera’s mouth.

Hera laughed a little there then nodded. “Sure. Let me take you to Juan’s room,” said Hera, rising from her seat and leading Haidar to the room where Juan was.

Haidar immediately approached Juan who was lying on the bed. Picking up the toy that was there and playing it in front of Juan’s face made the toddler laugh.

“Let me take care of him,” said Haidar to Juan’s nanny.

Ara looked at Hera and when she saw Hera nodded, she left.

“Haidar, how about we have lunch together?” asked Hera.

“I think that’s a good idea,” said Haidar excitedly.

“Alright. Then I’ll prepare the food first with the maids.”

“Okay. And I’ll be here with Juan.”

Hera and Ara left Haidar to play with Juan.

“Madam, who is he?” Ara asked as they descended the stairs.

“Jayden’s business partner,” Hera replied.

“Is that true?” Ara said seductively.

“Why do you speak like that, Ara?” asked Hera narrowing her eyes.

“Nothing, it’s just that Madam looks a lot of smiles when you with the pale white man,” said Ara shrugging her shoulders as she continued to smile.

Everyone in the house knew how the state of Hera and Jayden’s household was, which could be said to be on the brink of separation.

“Madam has the right to choose your own happiness. Don’t hold on if it makes you sick,” said Ara. She really felt sorry for Hera. Especially when she saw Hera had to fight Jayden and Elena. If only she had the power too, Ara would definitely help Hera to get away from Jayden.

“Sure,” Hera said in contrast to her heart. If only she could get off that easily. Maybe Hera would really find her happiness.

Hera and the maids started cooking for lunch. The atmosphere was so peaceful there that loud shouts could be heard from the second floor.

“Aarrgghhh!!!”

“That’s Haidar’s voice. What’s wrong?” softly Hera immediately went to see what was happening. Only Ara came along while the others would just wait for news. They can’t leave work in the kitchen.

“What’s wrong, Haidar?” asked Hera frantically.

“Help me, Hera!” said Haidar in a pitiful tone.

One…

Two…

Three…

“Ha ha ha ha!!!”

Hera and Ara’s laughter exploded there seeing what was happening.

“Hey! Why are you guys even laughing? Quickly release me from this child of yours, Hera!” said Haidar whining a little.

“Aakkhh! Juan is sick, son!” groaned Haidar again. Even his head was tilted because Juan kept pulling his hair.

“Oh my God. What have you done to make Juan pull your hair like this?” asked Hera with a laugh that still hadn’t died down. She slowly removed Juan’s hand from Haidar’s hair assisted by Ara who continued to laugh there.

This incident is really funny.

“I didn’t do anything,” said Haidar stroking his hair. He could even see a few strands of his hair in Juan’s hand, who was smiling happily. “I just gave him a toy and then suddenly he pulled my hair,” continued Haidar.

“I’m sorry Juan. It seems he’s just mad at you,” said Hera.

Haidar drew closer to Juan. “It’s okay if you like me, Juan. But not by pulling my hair. You don’t want dad to be bald,” said Haidar, which made Juan’s smile even wider.

Deg!

Haidar’s words instantly made Hera’s heart flutter. What did he say? Dad?

“I-I think lunch is over. Let’s eat!” said Hera changing the subject.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Really? I’m also very hungry,” said Haidar.

They all went to the dining table. Ara took over Juan first to give him the breast milk that Hera had prepared. Meanwhile Hera will accompany Haidar to lunch.

“Wow, that’s a lot of food!” said Haidar with sparkling eyes.

“Enjoy it,” said Hera.

Hera and Haidar ate in such silence. There was only the sound of spoons and plates clashing against each other. Hera glanced at Haidar. The man seemed to be really hungry as seen from how eager he was to eat his food.

“Thank you. The food is very good,” said Haidar after he finished eating the dessert given by the maid Hera.

“Glad you like it,” Hera said with a small smile.

“Are you and Jayden okay?” Haidar’s face turned serious.

Hera looked up at Haidar. What’s with that question?

“You mean?”

“Sorry. I don’t want to interfere in your household matters. It’s just that that night I saw Jayden with a woman who approached us hugging each other outside the hotel,” said Haidar without further ado, making Hera’s eyes widen.

So the guy knows?

Then what answer should Hera give?
