“Bad Husband”
Author by Natalie Ernison
……
Diane's days are not as beautiful as they used to be. Every day, you have to keep your irritation and refrain from acting recklessly.
-------
“The mansion of Caspian Family”
“I want you to stay in this mansion, but I realize that you have to live independently,” said Mr. Caspian.
“Oh, well dad.” Diane replied with a sad smile.
“Diane, are you not feeling well?” Ask Mr. Caspian was worried.
“No dad, I'm perfectly healthy.” Diane answered with a really sad heart.
“Just tell dad, if anything happens to you.”
“Okay dad, thank you.” Diane said with a heavy heart.
Mr. Caspian really cares about his son, even his daughter-in-law really cares about him. However, Mr. Caspian has a body weakness that must always be guarded. He must not accept bad news, because it will greatly reduce his health condition completely. That's what made Diane shut her mouth tightly.

After a few months of marriage, their life can be said to be close to happiness, but quarrels also become hot spices in their marriage. Al was very rude in his speech, and almost went easy on his wife, Diane.
“Alexavier Caspian & Diane Family Residence Mansion”
Diane and Alex are now alone with the servants of the mansion. Alex did not allow Diane to work, because for him women would only return to the household. In addition, Alex also undertakes all the needs of his wife and is not too difficult.
Alex turns out to have a very cold and arrogant personality. After marriage, Al is very busy with work, and comes home only at night.
Huh.. “So boring,” complained Diane who was getting tired of her daily life.
Diane walked towards the ground floor of the mansion and intended to invite the maid to go with her.
“Auntie, can you accompany me to shop for household needs?” Diane asked politely.
“Okay madam, I will prepare first.” The waiter rushed to get ready.
Diane was also not allowed to go alone, they went with two maids and a private driver.
“Madam, can we go now?” Asked the driver who had arrived at the main lobby.
“Well, let's go now. I have to get some fresh meat.” Diane said excitedly, and they rushed to go shopping.

Diane really likes antiques, and she decided to go to a famous mall in New York City.
They were shopping for fresh meat, and Diane stumbled across the children's play area.
Diane paused for a moment, while the maids had already pushed the trolley.
“Madam,” called the two maids who had left with Diane. They were silent for a moment, when they saw Diane smiled faintly at the children's play.
Diane stood up and focused on watching the children playing. Unknowingly, her eyes were tearing up. Diane seemed to miss having a child in their marriage.
Satisfied, Diane turned around and stepped forward in front of her two maids. The two servants could only be silent, they knew that their master still didn't want the presence of a child.
“Madam, isn't there anything else you want madam to look for?” asked the waiter.
Diane shook her head, “no auhty. I think that's enough, and all my needs are still plenty.” Diane answered with a sad face.
Since returning from the Mall, Diane often daydreams and remembers the children she saw in the play area.

Whenever the time showed that Al would soon be home from work, Diane always sat quietly waiting for her husband in the living room. Because Al just wants Diane to serve all his needs.
The sound of Al's car engine could be heard clearly, Diane stepped up with enthusiasm to welcome her husband home from work.
“Good afternoon dear,” Diane said with her gentle smile. Al only replied with a short cough.
Al went to his room to clean up and get ready to eat dinner with Diane.
Diane was eager to tell her about her experience this afternoon, but she was waiting for them to return to their room to rest.
... ...
The two of them were now in bed, and Diane didn't want to waste an opportunity to talk either.
“Honey,” Diane said from behind Alex's back who was facing.
Hmm... Alex just answered as usual and was still focused on his cell phone.
“Apparently, this mansion will feel more crowded, when there are cute babies .. —” Diane said enthusiastically, but not with Alex.
“I told you, I don't want to have children for now. I'm really busy after all, and you'll end up feeling left out, won't you?” said Alex.
“But, don't we have everything, and I guess the presence of a child would make..—”
“Stop Diane, I won't repeat my words again.” Al closed the topic of conversation. Diane was so upset and sad that she couldn't sleep well.
Why didn't Al want children in their marriage, didn't their family already have everything?
