Kira and Tim felt hungry, so they decided to eat their lunch before going home.
In a restaurant, the two of them sit face to face, while reading the menu.
"What do you like to eat, sweetheart?" Tim asked.
"I'm on diet, so I want light foods," Kira replied with her gaze on the menu.
Tim put down the menu book and look at Kira, "You don't need to have a diet, I won't divorce you even if you get fat!" he said.
This time, Kira lifted her gaze and was about to roll her eyes to Tim but then...
"Try to roll your eye on me and I will kiss you again in front of these people..." Tim warned Kira.
Kira automatically froze...
'Argh!' She secretly roars due to frustration!
She had no choice but to close her eyes tightly to suppress her annoyance!
"These are our orders," Tim named the cuisine one by one and the waiter noted it.
Kira opened her eyes, "Wait! I haven't chosen my order yet!" Kira said.
"Don't worry, I know what you like!" Tim replied.
After about thirty minutes their foods arrived!
---------
Two days since Kira and Tim's wedding...
Alex stared at Kira's table in the admin office.
It's been two days, two days that he did not see Kira and he doesn't know where she is!
He tried to come to her house but nobody is there.
" Teacher Alex, why are you just standing there?" Myla asked.
"Ah, " Alex snapped back to his senses.
"Teacher Myla, why Kira did not come to work yesterday and today?"
"I think she filed for three days of vacation leave," Myla replied.
"Oh, is that so?"
"Teacher Rose is the one who is handling her class during her absence."
"Oh, Thanks for the information, teacher Myla."
"No worries!" Myla replied and then she turns to leave.
Alex took his phone to call Kira but the bell suddenly rings indicating that the class will start.
Alex shoved his phone back to his pocket and went to his class.
In the evening, Alex decided to go back to Kira's house, but still, nobody is there!
Alex tried to think where Kira could be, and then one place came into his mind!
Alex went to Lea's convenience store.
"Alex?" Lea blurted out when she saw Alex entered the store.
"Hey, Lea!" Alex greeted Lea.
"What brought you here?" Lea was stunned to see Alex in her store!
"Oh! Uhm," Alex tried to look around before he looked back to Lea.
"I... I haven't seen Kira at School, and I heard from a co-teacher that she filed for a vacation leave."
"I went to their house but nobody in there..." Alex paused for a moment.
"I wonder if you know where she could be?"
"W-Where she could be?" Lea repeated.
Lea thinks for a moment, 'I can't tell him that Kira got married!'
'But what should she say?'
Lea scratched her head and tried to think for an alibi!
"Ah! Kira and auntie have moved to another house!"
Lea almost bit her tongue when she realized what she just said!
Alex knitted his brows, "They moved to another house?"
'Oh no!'
'What will I say?'
'Okay, Lea, just relax!'
'You can make up a story! He wouldn't know it!'
"Y-Yes!" Lea said.
"Where?"
"Uhm, I... I don't know the address but Kira told me that they need to move to a smaller and cheaper house,"
"But, why?" Alex asked again.
"Auntie sold her house to pay for all the expenses for her medication."
"What?! Why she did not tell me?" Alex was stunned!
Kira did not tell him that she needs money, if she does, he would be willing to offer her help!
Alex took his phone and called Kira.
He felt relieved he heard the ringing on the other line.
-----
Kira heard her phone ringing, she picks up her phone and checked the caller's ID.
She was stunned to see Alex's name!
Kira hurriedly swiped her phone and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Kira?" Alex spoke from the other line.
"Ennn... it's me. Why did you call?" Kira asked.
"I was looking for you since yesterday, but I heard that you moved out to another house," Alex said.
"Huh?!?" Kira was stunned!
'How did he know?'
Kira thought.
"Lea told me," Alex said.
"Oh!" Kira blurted out.
"Kira, you should have told me if you need help. You and auntie can live at my house." Alex said.
"Uh,... Uhm... I... " Kira doesn't know what to say!
'What did Lea told him!'
Kira tried to think of a safe word to say, "I-I don't want to bother you, Alex." she reasoned.
"Kira, you and auntie are not bothersome to me."
"My house is wide and I am the only one who lives there."
Tim silently stands at the door, while listening to Kira who is talking to someone through her phone.
His expression turned cold as soon as he heard Alex's name.
He knew that man, he was the one who fetched Kira in her house and brought her to work.
"No, we are comfortable with where we live now."
"Yeah, it is safe here."
"No, no, no, You don't have to come!" Tim heard Kira said.
Tim is out of patience, he decided to walk closer to Kira and whispered, "Sweetheart, dinner is ready!" Tim purposely spoke near Kira's phone so that Alex could hear him!
Kira instantly end the call and put down her phone and turned to Tim with her eyes wide opened!
"T-Tim!" She blurted out!
"Who are you talking to?" Tim asked in a calm voice.
"Uh... It's ... It's Alex." Kira said honestly.
"Oh!" Tim nodded his head.
"Who is Alex?" Tim asked as if he doesn't know that man.
"My...My co-teacher." Kira replied.
"Do you like him?" Tim asked frankly.
Kira was stunned!
She didn't expect Tim to ask her that question!
She doesn't know what to say!
"You're not answering me," Tim said plainly.
Kira just lowered her head.
Tim notice her reaction.
"Oh! I should have not asked you." He said and then he turns and gets out f the room.
Kira bit her lower lip, she feels like she was caught red-handed.
Is she considered cheating?
She's already married but she still likes someone else!
----
Meanwhile...
Alex frowned when he heard a man's voice on the other line.
'Did Kira live with a man?'
'But with whom?'
As of what he knew, Kira doesn't have a boyfriend!
Or, he is not just aware of it?
Alex suddenly becomes restless, 'Am I already late?'
'Did Kira fell for another man?'
