Mr. Leon's Second Wife
65

Days changed......

Three days after Leon's brutal act on his wife,

Since then Leon has always come home at dawn. The man seemed to re-imagine the old Leon, who was rude, who was cruel, liked to play hands. Making Aleta now seems to be made crumpled both heart and physical.

Like this morning, though,

In that luxurious room,

With a face that looks swollen here, Aleta walks out of the bathroom of her house. Seen there, on a fur carpet that became the base of a glass table in the magnificent room, Leon seemed helplessly sprawled with a few bottles of liquor beside him.

Aleta's approaching. He picked up one bottle at a time and put it aside beside the sofa. Usually there will be a floater who will come to clean the bottle.

Aleta struggled to settle down next to her husband. His hand moved to touch the sturdy shoulder that is now sleeping on his stomach in a bare-chested condition.

"sir...it's noon...you're not working..?" aleta asked to speak with her boss. He spoke while shaking his husband's body.

Leon's not moving.

"sir.." said Aleta again.

Leon began to rub his eyes. He turned his body now lying in a supine position.

Aleta rise. The task of waking up the husband is over. He then hurried to prepare work clothes for the man.

Leon looked at the woman with tired eyes, probably due to the influence of alcohol in his throat last night.

Aleta did not care, finished with her task of preparing a change of clothes for Leon, she chose to sit on the side of the bed in a position to turn her back to the man.

Leon, indifferent...! now the two rarely talk...! they were quieter with each other more often...!

Leon got up, with a slightly staggering step he chose to go inside the bathroom and clean himself up there.

Aleta was still sitting on the side of the bed, until....

tok........

the door to the room was knocked from the outside. Aleta with a battered face stepped closer to the door of the room and opened it.

"excuse me madam, I'd like to transfer the clothes of the mistress and the master that I've finished washing..." said a middle-aged woman who worked in the house as one of the many maids there.

Aleta smiled, though,

"let me just make a bik.." said Aleta while taking over the pile of clothes belonging to Leon and himself.

"well madam ..." replied the woman while glancing briefly at Aleta.

The woman then rushed away, while Aleta now immediately headed to the dressing room and put the clothes given by the aunt into a large wardrobe there.

One by one Aleta entered very painstakingly, until......

The woman stopped her movement. A piece of paper was tucked between the clothes. Aleta took the paper, then put the other clothes to the right place.

He then opened the folded paper and read the writing.

"my lady ...Sarah's mother is waiting for you in the backyard at three in the morning.I will show you the way out of this house....I will help free you and your mother from the master" the inscription reads.

Aleta quickly squeezed the paper. His chest suddenly shook. A low-class woman who only works as a maid even to the point of having compassion for herself.

How not....

For three days after Leon's accident at the flower shop, almost every day the sound of crying, moaning and screaming was always heard. Who is not pity? especially fellow women.

Aleta put the paper in her hot pants pocket. He immediately came out of the dressing room and sat back on the edge of the bed while waiting for Leon to finish with his bath.

...****************...

Afternoon.......

A luxury car appeared in front of a two-story building bearing the words Aleta Florist.

A man of stout stature appeared to descend from the black car. He removed the black glasses framing his brown neutrals. Observing that building

The two-story building that usually always sells a variety of beautiful flowers now looks quiet. No activity visible there.

After a misunderstanding between Leon, Aleta and himself three days ago, Sean always visited this store to see Aleta's condition. But in fact, during those three days, there was no news of the poor woman.

What is the fate of Aleta and her mother now?

Are they okay? remembering the events of three days ago seemed so humane in nature by Aleta. Leon looks so savage and terrible.

Sean took a long breath. The day he came, Aleta was no longer in this store.

Sean got back in his car. He started the car engine. The man who works as a soldier and aide to the general seemed silent for a moment. He then reached into the pocket of his pants, took out a steel necklace with the logo of the institution where he served.

Does this necklace really have Aleta?

Why is there a picture of white lilies behind her?

Why does Aleta have this kind of necklace?

Is she just like any other young female, male lover in a striped and brown uniform?

Sean smiled funny.

He then draped the steel necklace in the rearview mirror in his car, or rather the general's car where he was always driven. He would put the necklace there, until he met Aleta again and handed her over to the woman, Sean thought.

The man immediately drove his car, took him to find a nearby florist to buy twelve white lilies at the command of the General.
