Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

"Just wait outside, sir. I'll be right back," said Vania with someone on the phone.

"Okay, ma'am," someone said over the phone.

Vania disconnected the phone and carried Vano who looked weak and still had a fever. .she carried her son while carrying her small red bag, then walked towards the exit of the apartment unit that Carlos had bought her.

Vania walked briskly down the metallic corridor with white lights until she stopped entering the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor.

"Patience, son..we're going to the hospital," said Vania while rubbing Vano's head which she was holding and hugging him tightly.

The elevator door opened again because it had arrived on the ground floor. Vania walked out and seemed to be in a hurry towards the main door of the magnificent apartment building so that she accidentally met Elsa who went straight to her followed by Johan.

"Elsa..."

Vania stopped in her tracks when she saw Elsa's gaze was so sharp towards her. She remembered that last night Carlos had seen her, of course, it was a violation of her agreement with Elsa and now that she had come, would surely scold her.

Plak

Elsa immediately slapped Vania's cheek. "You bitch!"

"Elsa, why did you slap me in front of my son?" asked Vania angrily. She hates it the most when her son sees violence.

"He deserves to know. He has to know who he is and who his mother is... His mother is nothing more than a usurper for people's husbands!" Elsa exclaimed with a sharp look.

"Elsa, this thing is long gone, and please don't bring it up again...I'm officially married to Carlos and accept the fact that I'm only a second wife and don't live with him!" Vania emphasized. She didn't accept being called a bully because she is also a legally married wife.

"Oh yeah... That's true but you broke the agreement. You should have refused Carlos to come and stay at the apartment with you! You've had a visit from him during the day but you still receive him at night. Do you want to have him completely? Have you forgotten your position of being only a second wife?" Elsa started accusing her because for her if Carlos wasn't sleeping at home, he would have been sleeping in the apartment with Vania.

"Elsa. I never received his arrival at night!" said Vania with annoyance. She glanced around and realized that she had become the center of attention of those around her. Elsa's sudden arrival and scolding her outside the apartment unit, made many people know that she was the second wife.

"Don't lie to me! He was here last night, right? he slept with you!" Elsa was still accusing.

"Oh my God... How many times do I have to confirm that I never received his arrival at night?" Vania looked frustrated, holding her forehead because her head was suddenly dizzy. "Last night he did come but I refused and he just left. He didn't even care about our sick son."

Elsa was silent for a moment but didn't want to look defeated, her gaze continued to aim at Vania so sharply as if she was furious to slap her again. She remembered that Carlos had come home in a state of chaos. 'Could it be that Carlos met another woman?' She thought.

"Madam. We'd better get out of here before more people flock to pay attention to this," said Johan while holding Elsa's shoulders from the side.

Elsa glanced around, realizing that she and Vania were the center of attention. She looked back at Vania who was holding Vano who was still feverish.

"This time I'm silent, but remember that if it is proven that you accept Carlos's arrival at night, I will not let you be happy and calm!" She exclaimed while pointing at Vania's face.

"Whatever you say, I don't care. Now I have to go because my son is more important than talking about our asshole husband!" said Vania annoyed then continued walking towards the apartment. She approached the taxi that was waiting for her in the yard while Elsa went with Johan somewhere...

At the hospital, Bryana was relaxing with Aidyn on the couch while Dean was still on the bed because he couldn't move much. he felt hot, even his back felt hot because he kept leaning on the bed. He sat up and pushed his back away from the bed. Ugh, feels cool afterward.

Dean reached for his phone which was next to him. Fortunately, the phone was not damaged during the accident and was handed over to him by the residents who helped him. He opened the YouTube app and started watching videos about healthy eating to increase his fitness and speed his recovery.

While scrolling through some of the videos in the recommendations section, Dean saw a culinary video of Durian soup mixed with several other types of fruit. Instantly he who felt hot swallowed his saliva.

"Sounds good," Dean muttered.

"What's good?" asked Bryana who came to Dean with Aidyn who immediately climbed onto the bed beside his father. The boy also saw what his father saw.

"This is delicious." Dean shows a video of making Durian soup.

"Ah... I don't like Durian. just smell it makes me sick," said Bryana shaking her head. She wasn't at all interested in the fresh food.

"Okay, it's okay if you don't like it. But I beg you, ask Dany to buy it for me," Dean said with a pleading look.

"Can not!" Bryans said firmly.

"Why?"

"Did you forget that you are still taking medicine? Of course, you can't eat Durian." Bryana glanced at Dean strangely.

Dean let out a shaky breath, handing the phone to Aidyn because he didn't want to be tempted by the durian soup. "Oh, God...I want it."

"Usually you don't like sweets fruit like that," Bryana muttered.

"I don't know. I want it..my mouth tastes bitter, I want delicious food and that is the most delicious and appetizing," said Dean very disappointed, even the sadness was very evident on his handsome face.

"We asked Dany to buy another fruit soup, one that didn't contain Durian," Bryana suggested because she couldn't bear to see very disappointed Dean.

Dean shook his head. "I just want to eat that Durian."

"Oh my God ... .why are you like a child who always wants to be obeyed, even you are like... Like when I was craving!" Bryana guessed ending with a laugh. She remembers people saying that when a wife is pregnant, sometimes the husband has cravings. And that happened to Dean.

"I wanted it so badly, devoured it, finished five servings!" said Dean grumpily. "Or if necessary, I don't need to take medicine so I can consume the Durian soup."

"Heh, of course, the doctor will forbid," said Bryana then rubbed Dean's shoulder. "It's better to focus on your health. Later when you are healed, we will go to the restaurant where the Durian soup is sold," she continued seductively.

"I don't know... I want it now. Not some other time!" Dean turned his face away then lay back down.

'It turns out that men who have cravings can't be controlled like women,' Bryana thought, exhaling roughly, looking at Dean who was very disappointed and even looked angry. She brought her face closer and smiled so sweetly, then kissed him, trying to comfort him so he could forget about the durian soup.

If you don't know about Durian fruit, I'll give you a picture in the comments column. Durian can not be eaten after consuming the medicine because it can cause poisoning and even death. Durian is common in tropical countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia.
