Chapter 87 - The Deep Talks Between Us

Very deep chat between the two of us.

After finishing the simple breakfast menu that Herman made, Vira and Vino were still stuck at the dining table.

"Do you want coffee or something?" Asked Vira offers a warm drink for her husband. "Ah, sorry I forgot, you have to go to work then please get ready. "

Her words sounded awkward with a slightly sad facial expression, maybe she wanted to tell something difficult to her husband but she had to hold back because they still haven't mended their relationship.

"I'll be late for the office today, you, yourself, didn't you go to campus?" Vino asked.

"The exam is over, I just have to complete a few assignments before the vacation out of campus with my friends," Vira answered. "So, is a cup of coffee okay?"

"With pleasure," Vino replied with a small smile.

Waiting for two cups of coffee to be served on the table made the two of them speechless, there was no chat at all, both of them felt awkward and uncomfortable, busy with their thoughts.

Tuk!

The aroma of coffee makes the atmosphere at the dining table more relaxed.

"I!" the two of them opened their mouths and said the words in unison.

"Ah, you go first." Said Vino while rubbing his palms on his thighs, he looked very clumsy facing his wife.

"Just you, you seem like you are going to convey something more important than what I am about to say," Vira replied, pulling a stiff smile. She hoped that her husband would solve their problem, talk about Sarah and Andrew, and maybe they could make up relationships between them.

"I apologized for hugging you all of a sudden, I didn't mean to do that, I just-- it's just," ah, so he brought up the brief hug earlier.

Vira was a little disappointed but she tried to cover up her feelings. "No problem, I know it's just an expression of, uh, I mean, just part of spontaneity."

What am I talking about! It felt like she wanted to hit her head.

Vira would rather have their problems discussed and resolved at this time, forgetting about the little hug that had made her heart skip beating earlier.

"You, what do you want to say?" Asked Vino to his wife with eyes full of question marks.

Vira was silent for a moment before she lifted her head and gave Vino a deep gaze, she couldn't let this matter drag on, she needed reassurance, she needed an explanation, and she wasn't the patient type.

"Vino!" Even though he only said the name in a flat voice, to Vino, his wife's voice sounded deep.

"Let's talk seriously this time, I've been trying to be neutral, I'm trying to focus on the exam so I can finish everything well, and now… I think it's time, I want you to say what's in your head and heart," said Vira at length, she took a deep breath before continuing her sentence. "I want us to talk about Sarah."

Vira's words made Vino's face look tense. In a few seconds the tense face turned soft, he tried to take a short breath, took his eyes away from Vira's deep eyes, then ... he prepared to face his wife, ready or not, he had to finish all of this.

"Looks like She likes playing tricks and playing with someone's hearts. After being satisfied playing with you, she tries to play with me." Vira hissed, irritated. "She deliberately asked me to have dinner and then trapped me with Andrew, and this morning, she said if you will go abroad with her but what I met was not you and--" Vira took a deep breath with a frustrated face.

"If the airport staff hadn't stopped me, I might have gone to jail for leaking the skull." Anger radiated from Vira's red face.

Vino knit his brows. "You haven't given the details of what happened to you and Sarah this morning, may I hear the full chronology?" Vino asked with curious eyes.

Vira rolled her eyes, she showed her cellphone, from the opposite position she moved the chair next to Vino, it seems that if she sits close together it's easier to discuss the contents of this message from Sarah which was like death.

"She messaged you, this much?" asked Vino in disbelief.

Vira nodded her head. "Yes, you can read them all." Said Vira, showing all the messages without covering them up.

Vira waited for her husband who read Sarah's message with a serious face until she couldn't wait for Vino's response.

A few minutes passed, it was not because he was reading too long but thinking too long, Vino blinked his eyes many times then looked at the face of his wife who was sitting right next to him, they did not have enough distance so that their shoulders could stroke against each other.

vira dropped her face on her palms, her elbows resting on the table surface. "Have you read everything?" Vira asked with an annoyed face.

Of course, Vino had read everything, there were even some parts that were repeated.

he looked at his wife's face, a look that made Vira feel embarrassed.

"What is wrong?" Vira asked confused, why did she feel uncomfortable with her husband's eyes at this time.

"To the extent, that means if you don't believe me, I think you've put an end to this bad thought!" Vino pointed at Vira's forehead with his index finger.

Of course, Vino's sudden attitude made Vira wonder, she raised her head, her hands clenched tightly.

what was he doing! Her anger started to burn.

"Why don't you trust your husband? Why do you think that I will follow Sarah wherever she goes, you might be disappointed with my attitude, but, why did you think that if I will leave you and stay away from you, is that not too much?" Asked Vino sarcastically.

"Why, why do you seem angry with me now, I, the one that should be angry." Vira straightened into a sitting position, she was ready to reply to the babble from her husband's lips.
