Chapter 43 - Can We Have Dinner Together?

Vino looked at his wife who looked Frozen, he couldn't move because Sarah hugged him tightly.

He could saw Vira's hand was gripping an expensive cellphone tightly, his wife's eyes looked deep and dark, he could also see her wife's lips were trembling.

How could, his wife saw clearly that her husband was hugged by another woman in front of her eyes, Vira had never said that she loved her husband honestly, but .. seeing the man who had treated her well all this time, it could not be, She can't fool herself that there was a pain when she seeing a hugging scene that she could never have imagined.

"I know you will finding me here, you are the best friend in my entire life, you can not threaten me badly, sob.." Sarah's voice was hoarse, she was still crying drunkenly.

Her body almost swayed if weren't Vino caught her wrist.

"Vino, my head hurts, I think I drank too much. I can't drive my car, would you please take me back to my apartment." Sarah asked while gently stroking Vino's cheek.

Vino had no words, he could only stare at Vira's cold face in front of him, but he also couldn't ignore Sarah, Moreover, saw the condition of this woman, She was drunk and it was night.

He swallowed hard, pulled the cellphone from the pocket of his pants, Vino called someone.

"Vino, telling me that you will take me home, you will accompany me to sleep like all this time, you always comforting me, you are always beside me .." whispered the woman.

Vino did not have to answer, he led Sarah back to her's red car.

Vira stepped aside a little, she gives away, for Vino's steps with this brown-haired girl.

Sarah!

Vira's mind said the woman's name, so she was named Sarah, She wiped her tears that suddenly fell.

Vino closed Sarah's car door, stood not far from his wife's stand position.

"Hello, in the parking lot of X cafe, I'll wait for you to get her here, she needs a driver and a friend." Said Vino on his cell phone, then he turned to Vira who was petrified.

Vira raised her hand, showed the expensive cellphone in her hand, Vino knitted his eyebrows, he didn't understand what this phone meant.

"This phone belongs to her that fell in the parking log." Vira's voice was barely audible.

The cell phone in Vira's hand turned on, showing a wallpaper, a childhood photo of Vino and Sarah playing with cheerful faces in the garden when there were kids.

Ah, it turns out that your relationship was as beautiful as that, Vira raised her head and hoped that her tears could be compromised.

Why do I feel disappointed, even though? I know everything will turn like this.

***

The feminine man who was the manager of the boutique where Vira and Vino had been shopping came, he ran to Vino, they chatted for a while before the man took the wheel of Sarah's car, he had glanced sarcastically at Vira.

Vira didn't understand the meaning of that glance, for sure she shouldn't be here, her presence seemed misplaced.

Vino opened the car door for his wife, they came home in a car but no one spoke, both of them were silent.

Vira didn't know what to do, she had been playing with her fingers nervously.

While Vino bit the tips of his nails, his face that usually looks handsome different from this night, he looked tired and anxious.

Was he worried about Sarah, did he keep thinking about Sarah, did he want to be beside her and accompany Sarah in the long night?

All these questions were piling up in Vira's heart, but she didn't dare to ask her husband directly.

The strange attitude of them made Herman, who opened the door, felt suspicious.

He had already prepared a complete dinner at the dining table but Vino instead climbed the stairs and ignored his greeting.

"What happened, what's wrong with him?" Herman asked Vira who looked worried and nervous.

Vira smiled bitterly while shaking her head.

"You guys seem tired, did you fight?" Herman asked with a curious face.

Vira shook her head quickly. "We didn't fight, I and Vino have no reason to fighting after a few days was not easy to meet," Vira answered with a tired face.

"Come here," Herman brought Vira on the cource, he led this woman to sit with him.

"You waiting for me here for a moment, I'll get you a drink, a herbal drink that can make your mood get better." He said in a distinctive style, He walked over to the dining table and took a glass of the herbal drink he had explained earlier. "Here, you must enjoy the fresh aroma and this drink can make your throat feel loose. Drink it." Herman asked.

Vira drew a smile receiving the glass from Herman's hand, she followed Herman's instructions, inhaling the herbal aroma that soothed his throat, and then took a sip of the warm drink Herman had made.

"Thank you, this is very helpful." Said Vira reluctantly.

"No problem, as long as I live here I will do my best for you, I have promised with the great master," Herman said with a warm face.

"Here, take this glass up to your room, give it to Vino. After his mood gets a little better, take him to dinner, I'll be out in a bit so you can spend more time together." Herman's voice sounded so soft and understanding. "I have known Vino since he was a child, he is not an easy man to understand what other people want, he is also a man who was not good at reading situations, he doesn't understand woman's feelings. "Herman's words sounded reasonable.

Vira nodded her head, as if she agreed with Herman's words, once again she sipped the drink from her glass and this drink made her mind calmer.

"Is it only Sarah who can understand him?" Vira's question surprised Herman.

"Sarah, why are you talking about Sarah?" Herman asked suspiciously.

Vira's face turned grim. "We met a while ago at the X cafe," Vira answered in a low voiced.

"Oh, my goodness! That snake woman. Are you guys arguing, did Vino saif something?" Herman's question was answered by Vira shaking her head.

"I don't know what happened between them, but I saw Sarah drunk and desperate, I'm sure it affected Vino's mood." Vira's breath sounded heavy.

"Then what about you? You are his wife." Herman is a man who understands woman's feelings... "I also have a gentle feeling as a woman, I understand your feelings, you have to be more patient with Vino's past life. But… I'm really worried about one thing. "Herman's face looked panicked.

"What is that?" Asked Vira curiously.

"I'm afraid Sarah was playing with Vino mentally, she might find out that Vino is married, and that won't make her easy to give up. She is a venomous female snake."

"What do you mean?" Vira still doesn't understand.

"Listen to me, Sarah has a very close emotional bonding with Vino, she gets through a hard time after her parents divorced, she depends on her life with Vino, and she is the only woman who knows all the secrets of Vino's past life. "The wrinkles on Vira's forehead grew thicker, she still couldn't digest Herman's words properly.

"Here, you must attach your ears!" Asked Herman to let Vira put her ear closer to him. Vira complied.

Herman whispered something that made Vira's eyes rounded, her lips opened, she was very surprised to hear Herman's words that she could not imagine.

"This is the biggest secret in Vino's life, this is also the key to his pride, that's why he is so inferior to women, he did not dare to approach any woman except Sarah. He thought, only Sarah can accept his shortcomings. " Vira was speechless hearing Herman's whisper earlier. She still couldn't believe it.

"You, how about yourself, as his wife, have you accepted the biggest deficiency in Vino's life?" Herman asked but it seemed that Vira could not be listening to the questions properly, she was still shocked.

Herman poked Vira's thigh. "Hey, I asked you, how about you, will you accept all his shortcomings."

Before Vira had time to answer, Vino was already present between the two of them.

The man was already wearing navy silk pajamas, his hair was still half wet so it looked messy, fell over his forehead, he was a little surprised to see Vira.

"You're still here, don't you intend to wash your body?" Vino asked.

Herman was amazed to see that Vino was already wearing a pair of pajamas, he watched Vino's appearance carefully, then realized that the man's chest was too open.

Herman immediately got up from his seat, he approached Vino. "Are you wearing your clothes? You look even more mature and gorgeous but let me help tie your pajamas properly. "Said Herman taking Vino's pajama strap.

"Ah, you shouldn't have to do that." Said Vino hesitantly, staring at his wife's face.

"I haven't served you in a long time, I'm honored to be able to tie your pajama straps before I leave your apartment," Herman said in a whisper.

"Are you leaving?" Vino asked a little surprised.

"Will you be sad if I leave you. You are married now, there is a woman beside you, am I still needed here?" Herman asked in a sad voice.

Vino could not answer Herman's question, at first, he was a little annoyed by the presence of Herman, but he also didn't like Herman's departure.

"Ah, it's 11 pm, I have to go," Herman said jogging swiftly, he took his bag, before disappearing behind the door, the man poked Vira's chin flirtatiously. "Remember my message, make it with no mistake!" He said with a wink, he stepped beautifully by crossing his legs like a catwalk model.

"Did he leaves with the handbag, without his suitcase?" Asked Vino with a surprised face looking at Vira.

"He's having a party with his friends," Vira replied in a weak voice, sounded not excited, she got up from the couch, she was about to leave Vino.

"Where are you going?" Vino asked.

"I have to take a shower," said Vira curtly.

"Can we have dinner together?" Asked Vino once again.

Vira took a deep breath, she tried to calm her mind which felt tangled.

"Yes." The answer is getting shorter.

Vino felt suspicious of Vira's words, he immediately approached his wife.

"What happened to you?" Vino asked slightly curtly.

Vira turned around. "Me, have you seen anything happen to me? It seems that I should be asking you."

"Just ask," Vino replied.

"Why don't you say anything to me, instead you walked casually to go to the room and wash up." Vira's voice was trembling.

Vino's brows knit together. "I think you will hate the scent of other women's perfume that sticks on my body, as much as I hate that scent,"
