I began to think about what I was going to ask Samuel. What if I ask him to just erase my debt. I don't need to be his contract wife anymore. Right, that's all.
But just as I opened my mouth to speak, Samuel who was still rubbing my arm with a vanilla-like soft-scented bath soap interrupted first.
"If not ask us to terminate the contract and clear all your debts!" exclaim Samuel.
I turned a little towards him and scrunched my forehead. Why is it like he can read my mind. Why would he know what I'm going to ask him.
Samuel chuckled softly when he saw my facial expression.
"From your facial expression I know, that's what you're thinking, right?" he asked and I chose to turn my face away.
'Why would he know!' I murmured in my heart.
His hands were getting softly rubbed all over my body, it felt like I didn't believe in any of this. He's like he's been skilled, has he ever done this to Caren. I wondered to myself in my heart.
When Samuel's hand reached my stomach, I held his hand.
"Mas, let me!" say me slowly.
It felt very uncomfortable, when the skin of Samuel's hand touched that part.
"You sure?" ask him to make sure.
I nodded slowly, and he gave the bath sponge to me. I thought he was going out but he didn't, he took another bath sponge and rubbed my feet. It feels so awkward.
"Mas... I guess...!"
"Why, didn't I even touch your whole body!" he said it made me lock my mouth tightly.
It's not really because of that, but because I feel bad, it's not appropriate that he touches my feet and cleans them like that, it doesn't matter which part he hasn't touched.
A few minutes later, Samuel even helped me when I was going to rinse all the soap foam on my body. She even helped me wash my hair and afterwards put on a bathrobe. After that Samuel took me in his arms again and took me out of the bathroom.
After coming out of the bathroom, Samuel sat me on the edge of the bed. And walking towards the closet, she then took a dark green dress, and also underwear.
I was even made again shocked, when she even helped me get dressed. I tried to resist and said I could do it myself, but she insisted on helping me.
When I got changed, she took the comb back from the dresser and straightened my hair.
"Did you think, other than what I mentioned earlier, I will grant your request!" say Samuel again.
What Samuel said made me think again. If I can't get away from her forever, how about I stay away from her for a while. Actually, even though his attitude today is so gentle, but the sadness and pain of his treatment last night is still in my heart.
Right too, I'll ask that you stay away from her for a moment.
"I want to go home!" I hesitated while bowing my face.
Samuel, who had originally stood up and tidied my hair, fell silent for a moment and crouched down in front of me.
"You want to go home? but this is your house!" he said after asking me again what I said.
"To dad's house!" I looked up at Samuel.
He was still staring at me, but he was silent.
"Well, this afternoon I'll take you to my father's house and tonight I'll pick you up!" he said and stood up.
"I want a week at Dad's!" I said again to make Samuel who was about to walk towards the dressing table, turned back to look at me.
And this time the gaze returned to Samuel's usual gaze. It was full of oppression and very cold.
"What did you say?" ask her coldly.
I could see that his jaw was hardened, but after I looked down again, he was seen rubbing his face violently.
"alright, fine. I'll add one more day, you can stay overnight at your father's house but tomorrow afternoon I'll pick you up!" he said in a tone that sounded like an unhappy person.
I raised my head and looked back at him again.
"One week, you said you'd grant...!"
"Naira, okay. Two days. I hope you're not the kind of person who's loved to ask for a heart!" with a serious face.
But I don't want to give up either. Wasn't he the one who said he would grant my request anything other than asking that he erase my debt and release me from that contract. I had to fight for my freedom for a while.
"One week mas, if you don't want to grant why say I can ask for anything!" I said with a little bit of annoyance in my heart.
Samuel rubbed his head again.
"Ck. then three days. No more bargaining!" he said it and he began to raise his tone of voice.
I turned my face away.
"No way!" I said to stay true to my stance.
Samuel rubbed his face rough, I don't understand why he didn't seem willing to let me out of here. He doesn't like me either. Anyway I won't miss this opportunity, I should have managed to get him to let me go home to my father's house for one week.
"Naira, then what would I do without...!" Samuel cut his sentence.
He then looked at me who was looking at him questioningly. I don't understand what he said just now, is torturing me so much fun? until he was confused what to do and torture who if I am not in this house.
Questions ran through my mind, but they were all negative. If it's Samuel, then what I have in mind is really only negative.
"Kc... All right, five days! I'm gonna go out and get you some breakfast. No more haggling, or I'll completely change my mind!" samuel exclaimed and went out of the room.
"Five days, not bad either. Finally I can be free from the sharp tongue, no. I have a new nickname for him, the cruel one! he has made my whole body hurt and crumpled." I murmured slowly.
