Chap. 2: Suffering

Derek's POV

****dream**

"Hubby, wake up now.", she said in soft voice while sniffing my neck.

"Wife, stop teasing me.", I said while still my eyes closed.

She chuckled and bit my earlobe, "You have to wake up, Hubby. You have a meeting and I prepared a breakfast for you."

I faced her, she kissed me and greeted me good morning. She's now above me while my arms is on her waist, supporting her so she won't fall.

"Good morning too, can I have you for my breakfast?"

"No, Mr. Cole. You have a meeting remember? And you can't be late."

"Oh d*mn that meeting."

"Don't say that. Come on, get up now. I already prepared the bath for you and your clothes. I'll wait for you in the kitchen."

I bite my lips while looking on her, she's wearing my shirt and pyjama which all big for her size but she's still look beautiful.

"Hubby, get up okay?", she said before leave the room.

I lazily get up, if it's not an important meeting I would like to stay here with my wife*. *Since I met Serene, I changed a lot. And I'm not complaining about it, actually I like the changes in me.

"I'll be back before dinner.", I said before I get in the car.

"Okay, what do you want for dinner?"

"Steak?"

"Noted, Hubby."

"And of course my Wife."

She pinched my nose and kissed it after, "Naughty. Just be sure you'll be back before dinner... I am all yours.", she smile seductively.

"Wife! You're seducing me."

She laughed loud, "Just kidding. You go now, drive safe okay? "

"Okay bye!", I kissed her lips.

In the company, as usual my father nagged to me again. As always.

"Derek, why you're just now?"

"I am not late, Dad."

"Bht we have to discuss something before the meeting."

"If it's about leaving Serene again, I am not interested."

"I am afraid you need to Derek. You need to go in France tomorrow evening."

"What for?"

"You need to accompany Pia..."

"Why me?"

"She wants you. And don't you dare to say NO. It's for our company, Pia's father is one of our best client. You just need to accompany her while choosing the materials she wanted for her house. And she said that she trust your taste in terms of choosing good materials."

"I can't leave my wife."

"It's just for a week. Can't your wife understand that its part of your job?"

I just clenched my hands, of course Serene will understand. She maybe the one who pushed me to leave but I don't trust Pia. I know that it's not just plain business.

"I'll talk to your wife.", Dad said.

"No need. I'll talk to her."

I don't want Dad to talked to my wife, Dad capable of hurting her with his words.

AT night, Serene helping me packing my things.

"Wife, if you don't want I won't go. Just say it.", I said to her.

She looked really sad. "It's part of your job, I don't want to be hindrance on you. And beside your Dad will get mad if you don't go."

"But its a f*cking long one week, Wife. I don't want to leave you alone here."

"I don't want you to go also... But I don't want your Dad to be mad at me more."

"If only I can bring you with me.", I hugged her from the back.

"You can't. I still have classes."

"I know. D*mn Wife, I don't really want to go."

"Just promise me, Hubby. You'll behave there."

"I promise."

"Call me if you have a free time."

"I will call you from time to time. Before go to sleep, before I get up the next day, before and after I eat and... "

"That's too much Hubby. Once or twice call is enough. You also need to rest. Don't forget to eat proper foods okay?"

"Yes, Wife."

"Take a medicine when you feel sick. You need to take care of yourself, don't make me too worried here."

"I will."

"After a week come back home immediately okay?"

"Of course."

I felt her body shaking and when I looked on her face she's crying already.

"Wife...don't cry."

"Sorry I can't help it... I know your Dad doing this to separate us."

"Just tell me I won't go."

"No. I'm fine, really. Maybe I am just not to used being away from you, this is the first we'll be separated for a long time since we got married."

"And this will be the last, I promise that."

She faced me and hugged me tightly.

I hugged her too, she's right after we got married this is the first time we'll be separated for a long time. I'll surely miss her.

We survive the first three days being away to each other. Although there are times I just want to go back especially when I saw her sad. But she assured me that she's alright.

But the next day, I can't contact her and what made me more irritated was Dad.

"I told you, look at those photos. You're just gone for a few days and your wife is dating someone else."

"Dad, please stop. Serene won't do that."

"How about those photos?! And you can't contact her now. She's maybe with her lover and who knows what are they doing right now. Such a flirt."

"Stop Dad! My wife has a name, don't you dare to call her in any insulting name again."

"How dare you Derek?! Just because of that girl you're talking at me like that?! "

"I respect you Dad. So please, respect my wife too.", I irritated said to him.

He angrily looked at me through video call in my laptop, "Can't believe you're crazy over that woman. Here are the proofs that she's having ang affair and yet you're still protecting her? You're moron! "

I clenched my hands, "Yeah, bye Dad. I need to call my wife.", then I ended the call immediately.

D*mn!

I brushed my hair using my hands when I can't still contact Serene. What's wrong with her? I don't believe on those photos, Serene won't do something like that.

But just seeing her with other guy make me mad. So d*mn mad especially now I can't contact her.

I look once again the photos that Dad sent to me, its Serene and a guy (who I never saw before), the first picture was taken on school based on the background. The second, was taken while they are eating in a fast food and they looked happy while chatting. The third, was a taken while they are inside a mall. And in the last picture the guy's hand was on my wife's back supporting her while entering the elevator.

That's what make my blood boils more! How dare him to touched my wife? And why Serene is with him?

I called my secretary and asked to book me a ticket, I need to go back ASAP. I don't care anymore what will Dad say. My wife is more important than this d*mn business. I won't let anyone to take Serene. She's mine and just mine only.

The moment I arrived, I went to Serene's school immediately. It's afternoon and I know her classes finish now. But a green demon called jealousy eat me when I saw her chatting with that guy AGAIN.

"Serene.", I called her with a serious voice.

I was leaning on the taxi I rent, she look so surprise my seeing me.

"Derek!", she happily run towards me and hug me. "Wow, you're here! When did you arrived? Why you didn't tell me?"

"Get in the car. Now."

"Huh? Why?"

I glance at her, I saw her gulped when she saw how serious I am.

"O-okay."

I open the car for her and get in also after give the guy a deadly stare. I want to punch him but I don't want to make a scene, we're still in front of Serene's school.

We're both just silent on the way back to our house. I pulled her inside our room to have a privacy.

"Speak.", I said while opening the first three button of my long sleeve.

I felt suffocated due to madness. I open also the button of the sleeve and rolled it up to my elbow. I am looking at her.

"Ahm... w-welcome back..."

"That's not what I want to hear. Why you're with that guy? Is it true that she's your lover?!"

"D-Derek... No... Please don't be mad... "

"Tell me why you don't answering my calls? Why you're with him on the mall? Fastfood?"

Her eyes get big on surprise, "How did you know that?"

A pain pinch in ny heart, "So its true? Those photos are true?! You're having an affair? D*MN! I WILL KILL THAT MAN!", I angrily said.

"Derek, please calm down.", she caress my face using her soft hands.

"Believe me Wife, I am still calm down now. If not, I already killed that man, you're lover."

I can't believe I'll be this mad just because of jealousy. But I can't allow anyone to take my wife away from me. Never.

"Derek, Hubby please... I don't have a lover. He's not my lover. Calm down please, you're scaring me."

I took a deep breath and look on her again, this time i let her see how hurt I am., "You don't have? You don't leave me? "

"Of course not, I love you Derek remember? And your Dad sent to me Nathan to be my personal bodyguard. He said that I need him so you won't get worried about me anymore."

"My Dad? "

"Yup. I just accepted him because I don't want to be a burden to you."

"Why you didn't tell me? Do you know how mad I am when I saw those pictures? D*mn! I thought I'm gonna lose you, Wife.", I hugged her so tight.

"I'm sorry, Hubby. It's your Dad request. But I will tell you once you finish you're work there. Why you're here now? You still have two days... "

"As if I let a day past not talking to you after saw those photos and you're not answering my calls.", I said while starting to kiss her neck.

"I'm sorry. I lost my phone , Hubby. Nathan come with me yesterday in the.... mall to.... buy a new one and. .. Ahh.. Hubby... ", she tilted her head so I can have a better access on her neck while her hands on my hair.

"Wife... I was so scared.", I put her one hand on my chest near my heart. "Do you feel it? It beat so fast... I was scared to lose you Wife. Please tell me you're mine, make me calm down."

She caress my chest and look on me with full of love.

"I am only yours, Derek. Just yours. I love you."

"I love you too, Serene.", I said and kissed her.

I kissed her as if there is no tomorrow. And I am happy that she answered my kisses like she can't get enough of me. Our kisses end on a hot love making on our bed.

"Aahh... Derek...", Serene m*aned.

"Aahh... I love you Wife", I kissed her lips again while moving above her body faster and deeper until we reach our peak.

I lay beside her after, she hugged me and leaned her head on my chest, we're still both n*ked under the bed.

"You're calm down now?", she asked that made me chuckled.

"Yeah.", I answer while caressing her hair on the back.

A few minutes past before I speak again.

"I need to talk to Dad."

"Why?", she ask while playing the thin hair in my chest.

"What he did is too much. Sending some guy just to separate us."

"Hubby, it's okay. We're still together and he can't separate us."

"But Wife..."

"Let it slip, Hubby. Please?", she said while giving me a puppy eye.

"You.. Haay, fine. But this is the last. Once he did something like this again I'll confront him, okay?"

"Okay."

I caress her face, "I am really scared. That you'll leave me, that you'll find some one better than me."

"Hubby, I won't leave you. Never. And I won't found someone else because I'm not looking for it, for me you're the best. I don't need the better one."

"I love you and don't leave me please, Wife.", I begged her and kissed her wedding ring in her finger.

"Never Hubby. I love you so much. And even in my second life, third or fourth I will always love you. Promise."

And she sealed it with a kiss.

**end of dream**

"Derek! Wake up! "

I lazily open my eyes. "What?"

"You're talking in your sleep. Do you have a nightmare?"

"I dream about Serene... again.", I answered while looking on the ring in my finger.

*knock! Knock! Knock! *

"Mimi! Mimi ! Is Daji awake?", we heard a cute little voice.

"Not yet Baby! ", Michelle answered and look at me again. "Get up now, you still have a work. I told you to not drink too much."

"I missed her so much.", I said in low voice.
