Part 2 : Bad News

Jack laughed. Still and always sweet to me. For a moment he looked here and there to see if there was anyone else in this place.

 "My husband's gone, Jack," I said understanding his thoughts.

 “Leaving after tormenting you and asking for your money?” he asked with an angry expression.

 "How do you know?"

 “Jenny, oh, did we forget who I am? I can know your husband's thoughts, even all the crimes he has done to you." 

I got a little goosebumps. “But, why can you go out during the day if you are not human?” 

Jack snorted. "You forgot again, Jenny. I told you yesterday that I can be seen while disguised as a human.” 

"Oh, Jack. I do not understand. All I know is, you are in front of me now." Jack walked over to me and cupped my face. We kissed. Long time. My pulse beats faster as his hands touch everything on my body. 

"You want to make love?" I asked. Jack laughed. 

"Is it possible?" he replied.

 “Cover all eyesight so as not to disturb us.” In the blink of an eye, Jack closed all the curtains that stretched from window to window in my boutique room. I was invited to fly, across the blue clouds decorated with rainbow colors.

"Where are we going, Jack?"

 "Shut up, honey. Later you will know."

 On the top of a mountain, I saw a palace. The most magnificent palace than I've ever seen in the movies. 

"Is this your house?" I asked. Jack nodded. I'm surprised to see how he looks now. The man was crowned on his head, his clothes were golden with a white robe waving behind his body. Jack looked valiant with his bare hairy chest. 

"You're so handsome," I whispered admiringly. 

"Which is more handsome, am I wearing clothes or am I naked?" he joked.

 I laughed shyly. “You can make me fall in love, Jack!” I exclaimed.

 "Can you fall in love? So you haven't fallen in love with me all this time?" I ignored his words again because the scenery in the palace was absolutely stunning. What palace is this? Why are you at the top of the mountain? Who really is Jack? Walking in his arms, I studied Jack's handsome face shining.

 "Be mine forever," he said.

 “I am ready, but not so soon. Let me take care of my worldly affairs first.”

 "I will wait. Now let us celebrate our love." 

We arrived at a very spacious room, the walls were very beautiful decorated with carvings and flowers. 

"It's so beautiful, who made it?" 

"Is it important to you?" Jack carried me onto the bed. Events a few nights ago we repeat again with a more romantic. Jack managed to put me to sleep exhausted afterwards.

 I woke up when I heard the phone ringing. I was surprised because it was already inside the boutique. So, I fell asleep on the roll of cloth that I was employees there.

 I patted my forehead, of course they didn't come to work. The curtains were still tightly closed. But where is Jack? Where had the motorbike been parked in front of the boutique door? Disappointed, I slowly opened all the curtains. It was noon. There's no way I have to call all the employees to come to work. It could be that they are now celebrating this sudden holiday. 

Oh, yeah, didn't I hear the phone ringing earlier? Who knows it's the employees. Immediately I took my cellphone from the top of my desk and saw a lot of missed call notifications. 

"Forgive me. I was so sick that I forgot to tell you that today I have a day off. Regarding the salary, I will still pay it because it's not your fault." I wrote a short message and then sent it to my employees.

 Woe! How about Kevin? That bastard asked me to send two million as soon as possible. If not, my body will definitely be the target of his fists tonight. Through ATM-banking, I immediately sent money directly to Kevin's account. Before long, I read a thank you letter from him via short message.

 *** 

Laziness creeps in. My stomach is also queasy while there is not even a plate of food on the dining table. To the housekeeper, I told her to buy my favorite bread and chocolate peanut butter with UHT milk at the supermarket.

 "You should drink special milk for pregnant women," suggested Lana, my housekeeper.

 I pinched. “My stomach is very queasy. I'm not used to drinking special milk for pregnant women," I said.

 Lana complied. As long as I'm happy. Because she knows herself how his host treats me here. Many bruises and wounds on my body, she treated with sincerity.

 As soon as Lana left, I lost my mind. The image of Jack came back, alternating with that of the cruel Kevin. I cry. How dear and loving Jack is to me. He treats me like a princess. It's very different from Kevin, my own husband who mercilessly always tortures my soul and body.

 But what can I do, we are bound by a Christian marriage that cannot be divorced. If possible, there will be social sanctions that I get both in the church and in society. Besides, I'm pregnant, Kevin's child. 

Honestly, in my heart I had the desire to just abort this innocent fetus. 

"Don't you do that," I faintly heard Jack's voice. "If you come with me later, your baby will be mine too." 

Lana came an hour and a half later. The girl rushed over to me. 

"You've been gone a long time. Really, which supermarket do you buy bread at?” I asked.

 “I saw Mr Kevin get hit by a car, Mrs Jenny!” he exclaimed.

 I was so shocked that I jumped out of the chair. "Is it true? Where ?" I asked in disbelief. Tears began to flow profusely. Whatever the attitude of Kevin towards me, he is still my husband. And I used to love him so much before. 

“I saw Mr Kevin walking out of the restaurant near the supermarket. He was with a woman… young… and beautiful….” 

"Then?" “They were about to cross the street, maybe to the hotel in front of the restaurant. But from the right, a car passed quickly and hit Mr Kevin and the woman." 

"Oh no! Kevin!" I'm hysterical. "So, how are things, Lana?" 

“I don't know, a lot of people came around. The police arrived not long after. I dared not approach and chose to go by taxi online.” 

I was stunned. My cries grew louder and Lana hugged me with concern. Soon the house phone rang. A news from the police made me panic. 

"Is this really Mrs. Jenny's residence?" asked the policeman over the phone.

 "Yes, myself, how?" I asked back. 

"Is it true that Mr Kevin is Mrs. husband?"

 "Yes, exactly. What happened to him?”

 “Mr Kevin is now in the ICU area of ​​the regional hospital. He just had an accident and is now in a very critical condition.” 

"Okay, I'm going there now. Thank you."

 Click. The phone is turned off. Lana and I looked at each other. This girl really understands my feelings. He helped me prepare my bag and wallet. 

"I'm coming with you, Madam. You are pregnant. It is not good to travel alone in a state of chaos.”

 I nodded. "Should I just let Kevin die?" I asked then. "Given all the bad treatment he has treated me so far."
