Love, Jerk, and Affair

Mark woke up and glanced sideways. He sighed when he realized since last night sleeping alone because Adriana who used to accompany him was gone. There was a sense of regret and loss that hit the man's heart after his wife had left.

slowly, Mark stretched and sat, glancing at the atmosphere of the room that seemed lonely. He stared at the cupboard where usually Adriana would fetch clothes for him, make the bed, and prepare warm water. the image seemed to keep interfering with his thoughts, creating continuous pain.

"Why is it so difficult to let you go? But I also can't lose Maura. I realized, I love you and love her." Mark let out a rough breath and then ruffled his hair in annoyance.

"ARGHHH !!"

Mark screamed in frustration, his breathing unstable again. He felt chaotic and immediately got out of bed. But when he was about to leave, his smartphone which was located on the nightstand near his bed rang.

Mark immediately grabbed his smartphone and saw a call from Maura. He also sighed and answered the phone lazily.

"Hello, Maura," said Mark.

"Hello, honey, are you busy today?" asked Maura from the phone. Her voice sounded sweet and excited.

"Sorry, Maura, today I'm busy because I have to finish my problem," said Mark, who was sure Maura would invite him to meet.

"What problem?"

"What is certain is an important problem. Please let me think clearly," Mark exclaimed and then hung up the phone. he immediately put it back on the nightstand and got out of bed, walked to the bathroom.

Upon arrival in the bathroom, Mark immediately took off his clothes and turned on the up shower, letting his burly body soaked in cold water, like his cold heart without the warm smile of Adriana who used to greet him every morning.

After taking a shower, Mark hurriedly put on his clothes wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt combined with black jeans and then combed his hair in a haircut style and sprayed perfume on his body.

After feeling neat and handsome, Mark rushed to take his smartphone, wallet, and car keys on the nightstand then walked out of the room. He descended the stairs staring into the living room, making him think of Evan, who when he got up early would play there and sometimes make an exhibition. But not now, everything feels lonely because his son has been taken by his wife.

on the ground floor, Mark rushed to the dining room where his mother and sister were having breakfast. He went over to them and took some bread and then spread it with pineapple jam.

"Where are you going? It's not like you wake up this weekend." Byanca looked suspiciously at Mark who looked like he was in a hurry while usually on weekends he would wake up later, but now it's still eight o'clock in the morning, it looks so neat.

"I'll pick up my wife and my children," said Mark.

immediately Margareth who was eating stopped and looked annoyed at Mark "Why must be picked up when last night you gave them up to go?" She asked.

"I realized that I needed them, Mom. I could not divorce Adriana. Poor Evan, he will become a victim if I obey Adriana to divorce her," said Mark with a huff, staring at his mother full of pleas, pleading not to interfere with his household problems.

"Are you stupid, Mark? Then what about Maura? Are you going to take her off? of course she is much better than Adriana." Margareth mentioned Maura who she knew she had loved Mark for a long time.

Mark is getting more and more annoyed because the memory of Maura also confuses him and becomes more and more in a dilemma. at last, he threw down the bread he had not had time to eat with growls of emotion and his eyes were fiery.

"Damn! Let me think clearly, Mom. Not just because you don't like Adriana, you ask me to make the wrong decision!" Mark stared irritably at Margareth.

"And this is what mommy hates because you have a relationship with Adriana, you dare to say harshly to mommy." Margareth looked disappointedly at Mark, then got out of the chair and walked into the living room, leaving her food unfinished.

"You are superfluity!" exclaimed Byanca who also left the dining room. The girl's appetite disappeared due to Mark's uncontrolled emotions, making the morning atmosphere fresh and cold, so stuffy and hot.

Mark stared at Byanca's departure irritably then glanced at the dining table which was no longer occupied. he glanced at the chair that Adriana and Evan used to sit on, making him miss them again. he grabbed whatever was there and slammed it down.

Prackk...

The glass that was the target of Mark's annoyance was thrown to the floor and scattered.

"FUCK!" cursed Mark then hurried out of the dining room and walked across the living room and living room. He hurried to the garage to his car and immediately got in then drove it out the gate. Where is he going? Maybe he will pick up Adriana?

okay, does the one picked up want to come home with him?

After bathing Evan and herself, Adriana rushed into the dining room to have breakfast with her mother who was waiting on the dining table chair.

"Your sister is at the shop because a freight car is coming," Emma replied, smiling grimly at her grandson, who was so handsome and neat in a yellow suit with a talking animated red racing car.

"If I'm calmer, let me run the shop, mommy at home with Evan, and Amanda must also focus on education," said Adriana with a tinge of sadness still visible on her face.

Emma looked pityingly at Adriana who was already hurt but turned to glance at Evan, who would certainly be a victim of divorce. "Are you sure you want a divorce?" She asked.

"I'm pretty sure, Mom," said Adriana in a firm voice.

"Then what about Evan?" asked Emma again.

"He will still appear with me, I will not let him be taken by Mark. Because if Mark brought it means he will be taken care of by Maura who will be his stepmother," said Adriana.

Emma sighed and could only support Adriana's decision.

Ting ... tong...

the sound of a bell that was not too loud was heard, Adriana immediately put her plate on the table and got up from the chair.

"Let me open the door," said Adriana to her mother only nodded. She immediately walked towards the living room by crossing the living room.

on arrival in the living room, the two went to the main door and opened it. Adriana let out a rough breath when she saw who was coming.

"We have to talk," said Mark with a flat look. Hem, he arrived very quickly. Will Adriana comply with his wish to come home and return to live in a luxurious house but it feels like an inner torture room for her?
