"Don't you want to talk to me?" asked Maks that morning, during breakfast with Siena and Mrs. Kev."I'm eating," Siena replied lightly. Meanwhile, Mrs. Kev sneered furtively.The middle-aged woman watched Siena's coldness toward Maks with pleasure."Siena!" called Maks, who was getting a little agitated. This was because Siena's cold attitude had been going on for several days. Even though his wife already understood that what was in the photo was not what it looked like."Alright, I'll leave for the office now," Maks said as he got up from his seat, without finishing his food. Siena's attitude made his stomach suddenly full.Siena just kept quiet without preventing Maks from leaving."Are you okay, dear?" asked Mrs. Kev, feigning sympathy for her adopted daughter."I'm fine," Siena replied."Are you guys having a problem? You can tell me about it, Siena."Siena flashed a faint smile. She took a sip of her orange juice. Siena felt that Mrs. Kev could be invited to talk about her probl

"Why is your face so wrinkled, darling?" Siena asked when welcoming Maks home from work that afternoon.Maks smiled. "It's nothing. It's just that I have a lot of work to do at the office. And it's really draining my brain.""Ah, poor husband. Maybe you should leave more of the work to Bernard or whoever you trust. So that you're not so exhausted like this." Siena helped take off the tie around Maks' neck, then put it in the empty clothes basket."You know, right, darling. I'm a CEO. A CEO's job is not only to be handsome," Maks chuckled.Siena spluttered. She grabbed a towel for her husband to use to clean himself up."Do you want to take a shower with me?" Maks asked with a mischievous glint in his eye."I don't want to. I'm embarrassed. My belly is so fat.""Hey, your belly is adorable, you know?""Take a shower!" Siena pushed Maks into the bathroom without caring about his protests.The sound of Maks' laughter could be heard from inside the bathroom. While Siena waited for Maks to

Shocking news shook Maks' life again. Mr. Bura informed him that Siena had gone somewhere. All her clothes disappeared with her.Maks was in a panic. He called Bernard to immediately look for his wife's whereabouts. Siena must be found.She was heavily pregnant and alone out there. You can't imagine how worried Maks was about this. He even searched the streets, perhaps seeing Siena among the people of the city. However, nothing. Siena seemed to have disappeared into thin air.Maks has hired the best detective, reported the police and Bernard also searched every corner of Caracas to the neighboring city. But, no luck yet.For one month ....Siena took off the apron she was wearing and hung it on a clothes hanger in the staff room. She stroked her growing belly with a smile. Then she stretched her muscles that felt stiff. The cafe where she worked had been quite busy all day because it was the weekend, so she had to exert extra effort to serve the customers.Being pregnant and working h

''Yes. I'm fine,'' Siena said quickly as she moved her shoulder away from Maks' hand.''Can I stay here?" Maks asked. He didn't have the heart to leave Siena alone in this pregnant state.Siena chuckled. ''No need... auch,'' she said, groaning when she was about to get up and her waist felt sprained.''What's wrong with you? Where does it hurt?" Maks asked frantically. He helped Siena to sit back up then massaged the girl's waist lightly.''Auch,'' Siena complained. She was still holding her waist which was getting sore.''Do you want to lie down in the room? Let me carry you,'' Maks said as he grabbed Siena's body.''No need, I can do it myself,'' Siena refused. But Maks still carried her and escorted her into the room. The girl could only surrender. The smell of Maks' perfume, which was still the same as before, seemed to anesthetize her.Maks laid Siena on the bed. Then he sat on the edge of the bed while massaging the girl's feet. ''I'm staying overnight, okay?" he asked back.''W

The days passed in a blur after the violent argument between Maks and Siena. Both of them are still arguing and dissolved in their emotions. It is difficult to unravel the threads that have already been tangled, even if it can require a lot of sacrifice. Both Maks and Siena feel that there is no bright spot for the sustainability of their household relationship. Both of them seemed to only bet on time, and surrendered everything while living day by day. For Maks himself, nothing has changed, as if time has stood still since he first decided to live with Siena in her modest apartment. For Maks, the sky always looks as cloudy as his heart which is still gray. Even Maks could still feel the coldness of the raindrops that soaked his body that afternoon if he saw how cold Siena's attitude towards him had been. There was really no sign of clear skies for him. That morning Maks planned to laze around in his small room after he took his wife to work. Maks was starting to feel bored and tired
