THE COMFORT

WE ARE in front of my house right now. I didn’t get out of the car first even though I wanted to rest. I just looked at the house while smiling and had no plan to go inside at this moment.

"Hey, you don't want to go inside?" he asked me then I looked at the house.

"I also don't have anything to do there. There's no life there, it's boring, quiet, are you in a hurry? Are you going to do something?" He shook his head.

"Nothing, you said earlier you wanted to rest."

"I suddenly changed my mind,"

"Then let us go inside,"

"No, it's still messy, I did clean it yet."

"Come on, it's ok,"

"No, I want to stay here outside. I just want to rest my mind for a moment. Is it okay if I will ask you to stay with me here? If it's okay with you and you have nothing to do."

"Sure, no problem. As you requested. Then he turned off the engine and open the window."

"Maybe you have something to do and I disturbed you?"

"No, nothing Ash, so tell me what do you want to talk about?"

"Anything just opens any topic and I will listen to you. I just want to free my mind with any thoughts or anything."

"Are you sure that it is okay with you if I ask anything?"

"Yeah, tell me,"

"Well then, I want to ask you about Asher and you?"

"What about us?"

"Looks like you weren't ok earlier base on how he reacted, I see how angry he is when he saw us." I sighed before speaking.

"We had a conversation that we will go out that is why I am there to wait for him but I left him and I go with you."

"So, he might be angry?"

"I think,"

"Did he hurt you?"

"Huh?"

"Is Asher hurting you?"

"No, I mean we're ok. Maybe he was just disappointed earlier because I left and was embarrassed but I can explain to him that we go somewhere important. "

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah," I answer smiling so he will not think something bad.

"Well, as you said, I have another question," he said then looked at me. "I hope you don't get offended."

"What's is it?"

"Are you separated? I mean, physically, no heart involved, you know." I smiled at his question.

"Yeah, he's with Paula,"

"Paula Collins, Kylie's sister?"

"Hmph,"

"So you too are already not in a relationship?"

"I left him, Eugene. I chose to hurt him because I was pregnant with Charles."

"But it is not your fault, he deserves to know what really happened to you."

"No, he will get hurt badly and he'll blame himself for sure."

"But it's happening, he's hurting more now. Knowing him, everyone knows how he loves you. Everyone witnesses how he values ​​you. Do you think he's not hurt and he's not asking himself why you suddenly changed?"

"But I don't want him to know the truth."

"But it's ok for you to let me know, and Ley also?"

"You're my friend, Ley is my sister-in-law, Asher is my husband it's different. Besides, he's happy with Paula, I don't want to be selfish and interfere with them. He deserves to be happy." I heard his deep sigh.

"I really don't understand a women's point of view. You always take all the pain, the hardship, the sacrifice, and when you can't stand it anymore, you will give up and confess and when we find out the truth and we are angry because you lied to us then you will blame us for hurting you and not understanding you. Which is in the first place you are the one who did not open up to us. But still, it is our mistake."

"Eugene, we're not messy. We just don't want our loved ones to suffer. We just don't want to hurt you if we can accept all the pain. We are happy when you are happy. We get hurt when you get hurt. But even when we are hurt, when we see that you are happy, we are happy also."

"I don't know, I'm having a hard time understanding you."

"Eugene," I called to him then held his hand. He looked straight at me. "Thank you, thank you for the help and for listening to me, for sympathizing, for everything, just thank you."

"You're Ley's sister-in-law, my ex-wife. I can't ignore you and just like I said we're family."

"You don't have an obligation to me but you sympathize with me."

"I'm happy, then it's just a small thing. I don't have anything to do in life so don't worry about anything, all right? Take a break, and be happy, because we are here for you. And I think you'll still have work tomorrow, right? So go now and take a rest. I'll update you, the sooner I find that Kranky."

"Wait, are you going to look for that man?"

"Yes, Ley and I, I will inform her."

"Why Ley too?"

"She has a wider connection."

"But ---"

"She already knows so it's ok, don't worry we'll take care of it. All right, go and rest."

"Eugene,"

"I said just relax and rest. We can handle it. First, reduce what you're carrying because we are here now who is willing to shoulders what you are carrying." I sighed and nodded.

"All right, thanks again." He just nodded so I went down.

"Sleep well,"

"Be careful, Euge,"

He just nodded at me and then pulled over his car. When it disappeared from my sight, I entered.

When I went inside I immediately turned on the light but I was shocked when I saw Asher unexpectedly.

"Asher?" I ask. I forgot that he had a spare key to my house.

Suddenly the porcelain figurine flew in my face. It hit my forehead and when I touched my forehead the liquid immediately leaked from it which was definitely blood.

He was very angry while clenching his fist.

"Fuck you!" He giggled in anger while staring wickedly at me. "I will kill you now, bitch,"
