CAN I LET YOU GO?
Harboring Feelings

Floretta leaned her back against the wall, she couldn't possibly go to her children's playroom with tears.

Floretta goes into her daughter's room, Rosalie. He touched his chest. Unable to stand for long, Floretta dragged her back from the wall to the floor.

It felt so late that Floretta realized that Jarvis had never loved and wanted her throughout their marriage. Interview Alleta Nicoline informed the condition of their household.

Floretta closed both eyes, trying to normalize his breathing rate. Unable to linger in the room, Floretta went to the bathroom in the room and washed her face.

The woman stepped out into the playroom of her children. How surprised Floretta is to find Jarvis playing with his children. Rare sights in the past.

"Where from?" ask Jarvis as Floretta approaches. Rosalie and Dael are busy playing dice and running pawns on the game board.

"From the restroom" Floretta replied without looking at Jarvis. He paid attention to the activities of his children.

Jarvis looked at Floretta fixedly, he could see the bead-white color of his wife's eyes slightly reddened. Jarvis shifted his body slightly closer to Floretta.

"Have you just cried?" jarvis asked whispering into Floretta's ear.

Floretta was stunned to hear the question. He turned his gaze in the opposite direction to Jarvis' current position.

Her tears still wanted to flow through her cheeks, Floretta didn't want that to happen, she just went from there. Floretta busied herself with taking care of toys that her children did not play with.

Jarvis watched and studied his wife's movements. Where's Floretta, the wife who wants to always stick to her? Where is the cheerful Floretta, often hugging him until Jarvis is often uncomfortable?

Floretta in front of him was no longer his old wife.

"Yeey, my pawn arrived first. I'm the winner" Dael cheered. Rosalie looked sad.

"You cheat, run your pawn twice," said Rosalie pursing her lips.

"It wasn't Ros cheating, my chest number was 6, so I had twice as many chances" Dael told his sister.

Rosalie was sad almost crying. "Hey, honey. Are you sad about losing?" she asked Rosalie who had shed her tears.

Jarvis looks at Rosalie's beautiful face that is increasingly similar to her mother. He rubbed his head and hugged his daughter.

"The name of the game is no lose and win, Rosalie. Right now you're losing and Dael is winning. Next time it could be the opposite. How about I cheer you up?" bargain Jarvis while wiping away his daughter's tears.

"Yes, I'm sad. What do you want to entertain in?" asked Rosalie to look at her father.

"Eum...." Jarvis thought hard, he glanced at Floretta who was holding a picture book. "Dad will read you a book. Flo, get me the book" he said, reaching out to Floretta.

The silent Floretta stared obediently as Jarvis asked for the book in his hand. Floretta was quite surprised that Jarvis offered to read books to their children.

Seeing the togetherness of Jarvis and his children, Floretta was pleased. He thought his presence was not needed at the moment, so his feet stepped out of the room, better he did something else to not look at Jarvis.

As he headed for the door, his path had to pass through Jarvis, his hand held back and pulled. Her body sits on her husband's lap.

The giggling sound of her sons and daughters made Floretta a little awkward.

"Let go, what are you doing?" floretta asked in a whisper as she pulled Jarvis' hand from her stomach.

"Our company is here" Jarvis replied in a whisper.

Floretta did not reply, he was busy raising Jarvis' firm hand from his stomach.

"I won't let you go, if you want to get out of this room" whispered Jarvis tightening his hand, even the man's lips touching Floretta's earlobe.

The convolution loosened, Floretta's thump stood up and sat down to the end of the sofa away from Jarvis.

"Father and Mother are so sweet" Dael said, showing her rows of white teeth.

Jarvis laughed when he heard it. He patted the sofa on the right for Dael to sit on his right. "You have to treat women well, Dael," said Jarvis, wiping his eldest son's head.

Floretta rolled her eyeballs and shook her head faintly. For Floretta the man's remarks should have been aimed at himself not the young Dael.

Jarvis read back the book to his sons until they both fell asleep giving it to his father.

"Can you help raise the kids? Let them sleep here" Jarvis said.

Floretta complied with her husband's request. He moves Rosalie, while Jarvis moves Dael.

After that they went out of the playroom. While passing through their private rooms, Jarvis pulls Floretta inside.

The man closed the door and showered Floretta with a passionate kiss until Floretta was lulled. Unaware they were lying in bed, it was still daytime.

Jarvis kept on kissing his wife. When Jarvis wanted more, he looked into Floretta's shady eyes.

Jarvis brought his face closer to lift Floretta's flame. Their breaths are fused.

However, Floretta suddenly closed her eyes and turned her face with tears. Floretta's memory was battered by the words of Alleta Nicoline who claimed to have been touched by her husband to make him helpless. Plus, the memory of all his free efforts to make Jarvis turn to him.

Jarvis heard his wife's sobs, and he rolled her body beside Floretta. The woman tilted her body in the opposite direction to Jarvis.

"I really don't understand what happened to you" Jarvis said, looking at Floretta. His back trembled silently signaling the pain of his wife's heart being soaked. But why has Floretta been silent all this time?

"You can say what is in your heart, not in a way that silences me as it is today" said Jarvis, putting his hand behind his head.

They were shrouded in silence for a while until Floretta's words disturbed Jarvis.

"I want us to separate."

Floretta closed both eyes, clear out wetting her bed. He himself did not expect to have said the word he had rejected these few days. There can be no separation between husband and wife according to his beliefs.

Hearing his wife's ridiculous request, Jarvis is furious. He climbed back onto his wife's body and clasped Floretta's wrists on either side of her head.

Floretta turned his back on accepting Jarvis' rude attitude.

"parted? Give me the reason!" jarvis exclaimed, pressing down on Floretta's wrist.

"You never loved me! Let go of me and find a woman who can put you at home and satisfy you in bed" Floretta bravely said. A sentence he had long harbored.

Jarvis watched his wife who threw a defiant gaze.

"Love? Didn't you say in marriage we don't care if I love you or not, you're gonna work on it yourself?"

Floretta turned her face the other way.

"I gave up, tired and in need of rest" he said. The clear of his eyes fell back, as if expressing objection to Floretta's plan to leave Jarvis.

"Look, don't act stupid! There will be no separation between us. I've been stuck with you in this marriage. Your destiny is with me."
