"Naira why did it look so nervous! what's up?" ask Stella's mom who was teaching me to embroider baby clothes.
Since I was not focused, how not, it's almost afternoon. I just walked out of the house into this back garden after lunch with my mom and grandpa. And for almost two hours I've been here with Stella's mother who taught me how to embroider baby clothes. Since this is nothing new to me then it took me over an hour to get the basic pattern.
Sam said he'd be home by noon, but it's too late. I've tried to reach him several times but his number can't be reached. I became anxious, especially when I contacted Rikasi trying to find out the whereabouts of Sam, Rikas even said Sam was out of the office before eleven in the afternoon.
How can I not panic more because of this. But I don't want to make Stella's mom anxious either. So what do I have to tell Stella's mom, do I tell her the truth that Sam's out of the office but not coming home. But would I not be so childish if something like that just told Stella's mom, would I be called a complainant if it was like that.
I was confused myself.
"Dear Naira, if there's anything you want you don't hesitate to say it to your mother and husband. Because I don't want to be until my grandchild gives!" said mom while chuckling amusedly by herself.
I also chuckled a little. Suddenly an idea came into my head.
"Mom, I really want to work for Sam's company, is that okay?" ask Stella's mom.
"Working?" ask Stella's mother who responded to my question very quickly.
I nodded my head quickly too.
"Yes Mom, I really want to work. After all, said Dr. Arini, I have to move a lot and move so that blood flow more smoothly!" I said to Stella's mom.
Some of the reasons that I think will make Stella's mother approve my request. But it seems I made it, because Stella's mother immediately smiled at me.
"Mom knows, you must want to be close to your husband, right?" she asked with a smile as if she had purposely told me that to tempt me.
But what Stella's mother said was true, some days I feel anxious and always suspicious of Sam. It would be better if I was with him at home and also at the office.
"Alright, I'll help you ask your grandfather and father-in-law for permission. Naira you're right, the mother's eldest son is very handsome, you indeed have to be extra careful and watch out for him!" my mother said it made me feel bad.
Shortly after our conversation, I heard a car horn coming from the front of the house.
"It must be Samuel, meet him. We can continue to embroider it again tomorrow or sometime. Mother's grandchildren are also still a few months away from coming! now meet your husband!" exclaim Miss Stella.
I immediately rushed to my feet and placed all the equipment that had been on my lap onto the table. I walked so fast, that Stella's mother rebuked me.
"Dear Naira, slow down. Watch out for stumbling and falling!" exclaim mother Stella.
I immediately turned around and nodded in understanding at what Stella's mother had said. After that I immediately rushed to walk towards the front. And it turned out to be true, Sam had just entered from the main door.
As soon as he saw me, he immediately spread out his hands and walked quickly towards me.
"Darling, sorry I'm late. Are you waiting for me?" ask her and hug me.
But somehow when she hugged me, I smelled a different perfume than the one she was wearing before.
I pulled myself up quickly.
Samuel only rubbed his face rough before grasping both of my hands.
"I'll tell you, but let's just go to the room!" samuel said, holding my hand and directing our way to our room.
Arriving in the room, I immediately sat on the sofa as well as Samuel. He just took off the tie and rolled up his sleeves.
"Darling, before that I apologized because I made up my mind without asking you!" samuel's words made me even more curious and it felt like my feelings were getting uncomfortable too.
I stared intently at Samuel, for he seemed hesitant to speak and to speak.
"What do you mean? mas where have you been? I even called the mas a few times but couldn't connect, why a cell phone?" ask me tubi timbi.
Actually there are many more, but only three questions that I can mention in one breath that has begun to be irregular because of this annoyance.
Samuel did not answer immediately, he instead took his phone out of his pants pocket and put the phone on the table.
"My phone's dead, last night I forgot to charge it. And you're right I was out of company this afternoon, on my way home I accidentally hit someone...!"
"Mas hit people? is that guy hurt? severe or not? which hospital? can he still be helped, does the family want to sue you?" those questions really disturbed my mind.
I was so panicked, I was afraid that Sam might get in trouble because of that. But Sam grabbed my hand again and shook his head slowly.
"Dear, it's not like that. Don't freak. I did crash, but that guy was completely unharmed, only nudged a little bit until he fell!" obviously Sam.
I immediately let out my breath of relief.
"Thank God, next time don't drive when you're tired!" say me then.
Samuel nodded, he then looked back at me with a look that I felt was a look of regret and guilt, I became more afraid to see Sam's expression like that.
"Darling, the person I accidentally hit, don't you want to know who he is?" ask Sam.
Deg deg deg
For some reason after hearing Sam's question, my heart became even more unsettled than before.
"Who's the mas?" I asked slowly and looked at Sam deeply.
"That guy is Caren!"
Suddenly I immediately pulled my hand held by Sam. So what makes her late and I can't call is that woman.
