Beautiful Affair
BA #2 - It Is Love?

Morning had come, the sun peeked spoiled behind the curtains of a luxurious room dominated by white.

A wedding photo is displayed right on the bed, while the owner of the room is still on the bed.

Daniel stroked the naked shoulder of the wife who was currently sleeping, her face looked tired and it made Daniel's heart like a pinch.

"I'm sorry, honey." Daniel whispered warmly in Alira's ear. He got rid of the hair child who seemed to disturb his wife's face.

Daniel pulled out the blanket that covered his face, picked up his pants and put them back on. As he was about to go to the bathroom, his phone rang.

"God, I forgot about you!" Daniel muttered when he found out who was contacting him, he immediately answered the call.

"Hello, Ryan. Where're you?" Ask.

"I'm already at the airport, Dude. Have you forgotten your promise?" There was a man's bass voice coming from across the phone.

"I just woke up, can you just take a cab here?" Daniel asked as he looked at the face of the wife who was still asleep.

"All right, no problem. But it looks like I'm going to stop by my friend's house first."

"Okay" replied Daniel.

After talking to the man named Ryan, Daniel rushed to the bathroom.

He washed his face in the sink, then he looked at his reflection in the mirror.

It is reflected back in his mind how he met Alira, a beautiful innocent girl, then he fell in love with her and established a relationship so beautiful that they finally married two years ago.

"I'm just afraid of losing you, Alira. You are my soul" muttered Daniel with a trembling voice. He covered his face with both hands and a moment later he felt the touch of a woman's hand on his waist.

Alira hugged her from behind, leaning her head on her husband's back. Alira still did not wear anything, so the skin rubbed and it made Daniel groan.

Daniel clasped his wife's little hand, and kissed her gently before turning back.

"I'm sorry, I hurt you" Daniel said softly, Alira smiling wryly and nodding. "Do we need to see the doctor again? Hm?" Ask gently.

"No, I'm fine" Alira replied softly and she hugged her husband again, leaning her head against the husband's chest as if she was in need of a backrest.

"I just need a break, honey." Alira's voice trembled, she loved her husband very much but she was also afraid of her husband especially if the husband was jealous, then he would behave like a demon.

Just like last night and two days ago, just because he was jealous, he would attack Alira on the bed brutally. No matter if Alira is sick, tired, or not wanting to make love. Daniel will be like an animal who loses his mind and not infrequently he will even raise his hand on Alira.

A promise? A million times the husband promised her, would not hurt her, would not force her to make love, and other sweet promises but none were kept.

"Then I take a shower, baby. Do you want to take a shower with me?" Daniel asked very gently, like a husband who really appreciates and loves his wife.

Alira shakes. "I'll take a shower later, it looks like I'll go back to sleep" Alira said.

"You're still sleepy? Then why did you wake up?" Again, Daniel asked so gently.

"I woke up when I couldn't find you by my side" replied Alira, who touched Daniel's heart, caressing his wife's cheek, affectionately kissing her forehead.

"All right, go back to sleep."

Alira returns to her room, she picks up Daniel's shirt lying on the floor, Alira wears it then she stands in front of the dressing table.

Alira took a cotton swab and removed her thick makeup slowly. Alira grimaced while removing the make up on the bottom corner of her eyes. He seemed to hold the pain, and when his face was clean of make up, there was bruising under the corner of his eye.

Alira stared at her reflection in the mirror, taking a deep breath, before finally throwing the cotton makeup of her irritatedly into the trash.

This is what is stored behind the polish of her beautiful makeup, a wound given by the hand of the husband.

Two days ago, Alira left the house without Daniel's permission, he just wanted to buy some snacks. But halfway through, Alira meets her schoolmate, a man, of course.

Daniel finds out, he is angry, jealous, and thinks Alira made a promise with him. When Alira wants to explain, Daniel slaps her very hard and then he attacks Alira in the living room, having intercourse out of anger, it hurts so much physically and mentally Alira and Alira can do nothing but cry.

And after that, Daniel would apologize, pamper Alira, act very softly, as if feeling very guilty for her abusive treatment. Why did Daniel repeat it over and over again?

Alira shook her head, expelling those wild thoughts. He went back up on the bed, pulled a roll, hugged her and tried to close his eyes.

"He loves me, but why does he always hurt me? Is that his love now?"
