"There's nothing we need to talk about anymore."

"It's about us."

​​

"What's there to talk about?"

"Marriage isn't for a day or two. It's for a lifetime."

"So?" Dino cut off Rere's words.

"We don't love each other."

"Time that will make us love each other."

"It's useless to talk to you." Rere was annoyed and then left in front of Dino.

"Where are you going?" Dino pretended to ask. Smiling at his wife's annoyance.

"None of your business. I'm sick of seeing you," Rere shouted back.

"Rere, stay here. Someone will kidnap you later." Dino teased Rere again. For some reason he could smile when he saw the anger on Rere's face.

"There are no kidnappers here. I'm not a child you can lie to."

"But you can already make children."

"Watch your mouth, Dino."

"I'm giving you a challenge."

"What?"

"Stop me talking!"

"How to?"

"Think for yourself, but I have an idea."

"What?"

"Kiss me. I'll stop talking."

"Shit!"

Rere was surprised when she entered the room to find Dino was in the middle of changing his clothes. She was blushing seeing Dino in his underwear. She could see Dino's sculpted body from behind. Rere was nervous and she accidentally hit the table until the flower vase on it fell and broke when she tried to run away.

Dino turned around. Smiling cutely seeing Rere's nervousness.

"I take it as a draw, Re," Dino said quietly. The man was indifferent when Rere saw his body.

"What do you mean by draw?" Rere spoke loudly.

"I've seen you naked_____"

"Stop." Rere put her index finger on Dino's face so he wouldn't continue his words. Rere was embarrassed to remember the incident.

"Are you embarrassed?" Dino stifled a laugh. He doesn't want to offend his wife.

"Stop asking if you know it. The food is ready." Rere puts her hands on her hips then goes back to the kitchen, leaving Dino in the room. Rere used to live in the castle now.

Angga threw his cellphone on the table when he saw Tia's post on social media. Tia uploaded Rere and Dino's wedding photos. Angga's heart cracked and shattered into pieces when he read the post.

During lunchtime, Angga came to Bara's Corporation office to meet Tia. He was waiting at the reception desk and blocks Tia when the girl comes out.

"Tia, we need to talk." Angga pulled Tia's arm.

"Keep your hands away from my future wife." Daniel, Tia's fiance, was furious. He doesn't like it when his woman is touched by another man.

"Daniel, calm down." Tia suppresses her future husband's emotions. The man was calm when Tia touched his chest.

"What do you want to talk about?" Tia looks at Angga.

"This is about Rere. I want to talk to you privately. I need an explanation."

"Okay. Fine."

"But, dear_____" Daniel protested.

"Wait a moment, dear," Tia speaks softly.

"What do you want to talk about?" Tia asked as they sat in the restaurant.

Daniel sat at the next table, glaring at Angga who was talking to Tia while sipping a cold drink.

"Why didn't you tell me that Rere was married to Dino?" Angga shows Tia's posts on social media.

"Why does it have anything to do with you?" Tia looked surprised.

"Of course it has something to do with me. You know that Rere and I are dating."

"You are not sick," Tia said as she touched Angga's forehead with the back of her hand. Her actions triggered Daniel's jealousy. The man burped makes Tia realize that her lover is jealous. "I am just checking Angga's body temperature, in case he is sick or not, dear," said Tia, explaining.

Angga frowned at the silliness of the two lovebirds. Although he was also envious of their interaction.

"You are not sick," said Tia casually with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Angga began to get angry.

"You and Rere are no longer lovers ever since you tried to rape her. Rere really hates you."

"I was under the influence of alcohol at the time." Angga still cannot accept it and started to defend himself.

"Your excuse is unacceptable. You already know that you are a weak drinker, but you drink instead."

"I'm frustrated, Tia. Rere is getting away from me. She doesn't pick up my call and reply to my text message."

"You're wrong there. You don't understand Rere. She just needs time. She is in shock that she was almost killed when she saved Gesa."

"Tia, why did you change?"

"What do you mean? Me? Change?"

"Usually, if I'm wrong, you always remind me, but why did you just keep mum when I almost rape Rere? If you said that from the beginning, maybe the problem wouldn't be this serious." Angga snorted in annoyance as he threw the blame at Tia.

"You will still leave Rere when she says she made a mistake and made love with another man. Why should I rebuke you since I already know the ending? You'll leave Rere when you find out she slept with another guy. You are like this because you feel guilty for raping Rere. You felt that she was tarnished. Rere decided to forget about you since that incident. You don't know how she got through her days at that time? Rere was broken. She is very disappointed with you. You should be his protector, not a monster who wants to take her happiness away." Tia's intonation is loud. She tried to contain his emotions.

"We love each other. Why did she have to marry that man? I accept Leon as my son. I will treat Leon like my own son. I accepted Leon because he is Rere's son."

"Don't talk about love, Angga. Your relationship with Rere is over. Rere is already married to Leon's biological father."

"That bastard doesn't deserve to be Leon's father. Why wasn't he responsible in the first place? He came when the wound was starting to heal."

"If you don't know the truth, just keep your mouth shut. It's not that Mr. Dino doesn't want to be responsible but ___________"

"But what?" Even if it sucks.

"He doesn't know that Rere was pregnant."

"You lie!"

"Rere never told the man she was pregnant. She just found out about her pregnancy when she was six months pregnant."

"What?" Angga was shocked. He slumped down to the floor.

What's Rere thinking? Why didn't she ask the man to be responsible for impregnating her? Many girls out there would report the man who doesn't want to be responsible for their child to the police.

What's wrong with Rere?

*****

Rere was shocked when she saw someone entering her room. She had just finished taking a shower so she just wrapped a towel around her body. Dino came inside the room while grinning. The man approached her then grabbed her head with both hands and immediately gave her a hot passionate kiss.

Rere needed time to balance Dino's kiss. He picked her up and sat her on the sofa. Rere sat on Dino's lap as they continued to kiss each other hungrily. They exchanged saliva and then intertwined their tongues and took a deep sip. Dino broke their kiss since they are out of breath. The man kissed her forehead and then down to Rere's cheeks, nape, and neck.

Rere was overwhelmed by Dino's behavior. The man gave an intoxicating touch to every part of her body. She was overwhelmed from serving Dino's passion which was getting more unsettling every passing second. The man removed the towel that covered Rere's body. He inhaled Rere's scent greedily. The smell of Rere's body always made him crave for more.

Dino lifted her body and laid her down on the bed. Rere's chest swelled as Dino spread her legs. The man stroked Rere's hidden treasure and then lowered his face there before he started to lick it slowly. Dino pamper treatment awakens the nerve cells in Rere's body.

"Ahhhh…." Rere's moan escaped her lips as Dino's tongue move became more intoxicating and lively every second. Rere can only close her eyes and squeeze the bed sheet when she feels Dino's tongue playing and teasing her forbidden area.

Rere awoke from her sleep as she looked at Dino who was snoring next to her. As usual, their bed was divided into two separate parts by the bolsters. At first, Rere didn't want to sleep in the same room as Dino, but because she was afraid of cockroaches, they ended up sleeping in the same room and bed.

Rere hit her head as she broke out in cold sweat.

"Why am I like this? I've had two naughty dreams. It's so embarrassing," Rere cursed in a low voice while looking at Dino who was still asleep.

Rere rushed to the bathroom and washed her face.

"I really need to wash my brain. Why am I getting more perverted?" Rere looked in the mirror. She felt like their make love session was real even though it was just a dream. Is this the effect of seeing Dino's naked body from behind?
