"I have a surprise for you, come home soon"
The message had displayed and with that, Juni had turned back in the direction of his house wondering just what kind of surprise awaited him as he drove through the streets with a headache which was getting more severe by the moment. parking into his driveway at 5pm,Juni noted that his wife was early today and also wondered if Derek and his nanny was also in, his question was answered just as he opened the door that led into the house and on the other side of it was the nanny and Derek
"Dada" his four year old son called joyfully as soon as he saw him, Juni managed a smile as he ruffled his son's hair playfully
"hey there, little man.. what sup? where are you guys going? "Juni said and directed the last part of is statement to the nanny who was smiling at the interaction between father and son and quickly snapped out of it to answer Juni's question
"Oh. Mrs Cartel told me to take him to the park for an evening stroll and also directed me to give you this note when you come in" she said as she offered Juni a folded note which he took
"is she inside?" he asked
"yeah, she's upstairs" the nanny replied
"okay, thanks" Juni replied
"Dada" Derek babbled as his nanny took his past the door way and he rebelled against having to go, Juni noticing this bent down to his son's level with a smile
"You go on and have a great evening and when you come back, Dada will be waiting right here for you to have a great night with you, we would binge watch Ben 10 all night" he said, although Derek does not fully understand everything his father had said, his father's smile and the word "Ben 10"registered with his brain and his face broke out in the widest smile ever as Juni rubbed his head before standing up and instructed his nanny
"Go ahead now" he said and watched their retreating figures with smiles as Derek bounced alongside his nanny.
"Okay, time to check out this surprise" Juni said to himself as he rubbed his creased forehead and stepped into the ,closing the door behind him, he dropped his briefcase and proceeded to open the note as he was unknotting his tie on his way up the stairs
"Come upstairs with a smile ,don't be late" the note read, Juni smiled and took the last stair that led upstairs. The hallway was quite silent except for the sound of a rolling fan which came from the direction of their room, Juni took quick steps towards the room and putting his hand on the door handle, he pressed down on it and the door swung the open to reveal of course Carmen Cartel on their bed , who was dressed in the skimpiest lingerie ever
"Hey there baby" she said in the most seductive voice ever
As tempting as she looked however, Juni was not in the mood for any of it, his headache raged on and on so he smiled and started to talk "Baby..i –"he started to say but was interrupted as Carmen had moved closer to him and she placed a single finger on his lips to prevent him from saying anymore as she walked him back to the edge of the bed and made him sit as she removed his tie and was slowly unbuttoning his shirt, his sounds of protest were lost on her as she straddled him and tilted him back so he lay fully on the bed and started kissing him however she was getting no positive response out of him, she raised her head up to look at him and noticed he was really not into it at all.
She stood up clearly upset with him and grabbed a robe to put on, he stood up to sit down on the edge of the bed now, "babe.." he started to say
"No, I don't want to hear it ,Juni forget it. i have tried my hardest to understand you ,stuff happen okay? You are not the first to be falsely accused or fired,I freaking love you Juni but you refuse to see that and continue wallowing, for how long will that be huh? are you even thinking about my feelings at all" she asked annoyed
"baby, I love you okay ..its just- "he tried to say but Carmen was having none of it
"you love me, you really believe you do?" she asked
"of course, I love you" he said
"okay.. then prove it" she replied tapping her foot expectantly
"really babe, sex is not the way to do that.." he said
"freaking prove it, Juni" she shouted but Juni who was having a major headache couldn't reply "you can't do that ,can you? " she added and without expecting a reply, she opened the door of their room and gestured for him to get out
"what?" he said looking towards her
"get out, Juni" she said
"but.." he tried to argue but when she yelled "now"
He decided that would be for the best and proceeded to leave the door, immediately he stepped out ,she slammed the door and locked it
He was still at the door when she came out thirty minutes later, all dressed up with a packed bag
The surprise on his face could not be calculated, he started to talk but carmen beat him to it
" I have tried everything Juni and now I think we both need some time and space ,I can't be with someone who only cares about himself, also I'm taking Derek with me. don't look for me Juni. its for the best ,I hate to think my dad might just be right" she said and he couldn't utter a single word as he was dumbfounded as she walked down the stairs
He jolted back to reality when she slammed the front door and by the time he got downstairs, she was gone.
