I'M AN-EX

"I'm tired of you, everything feels boring. I will marry her," Gustavo said firmly.

"What do you mean by boring?" asked Irene, still looking for loopholes to improve her shortcomings.

"Look at you now, not as attractive as before. You don't even look like the wife of a company director. You look more like a maid and babysitter," answered Gustavo indifferently.

"So, is that woman like you want?"

"She is very beautiful and good at taking care of herself, she always smiles happily and makes my tiredness disappear. When she's with me, she's always clingy and really longs for me," Gustavo tried to make his wife look so lowly, so that Irene would give in and want to accept his new married.

Irene, who was silent, now remembers her life before she married Gustavo. She, who has succeeded in obtaining a higher education, also has a position that is very accomplished, is willing to leave everything behind, in order to provide the best service for her husband and children.

She now understand, that all her hard work did indeed look like a maid or babysitter. The reality of a mediocre economy makes her choose to accentuate her family's needs.

Compared to spending the money on her own needs, Irene would rather spend it fulfilling all the wishes of her children and husband. Unexpectedly, it turns out that his devotion has stabbed himself in the back.

"You want to be taken or I will divorce you," Gustavo proudly boasted of his power in the house.

Gustavo himself was blindsided by all the achievements he had achieved. He feels that he is now very capable, because he can support his house and his mistress. In fact, what happened was that Irene, who accompanied Gustavo all this time, never complained about the material he provided.

Irene doesn't want Gustavo to feel sad or humiliated. She always wanted her husband to be able working in peace and get more fortune for their future lives.

"I'm sorry Honey, what made me beautiful, was my parents. Meanwhile, the one who makes me look like a servant is my husband. I never wanted to hurt your feelings by saying that. We lacked materials," Irene tried to explain in a gentle tone, but there was a hint of aggression there.

"What do you mean, there's no way I'm that bad. I have been very responsible by giving all my obligations. If I was on the wrong path, there would be no way I could become a director now and there are many beautiful women out there who adore me," Gustavo tried to explain the reality.

"Never mind, just accept it. She is so good and kind, she won't bother you in the future."

"I'm sorry, actually I'm also very tired of living with you. All this time I have been holding back my own happiness because I couldn't bear you who loved me. After I heard your confession, it turns out it was all wrong. I shouldn't have delayed saying that I want you to divorce," Irene began to honestly express what was in her heart.

"What are you talking about? How dare you think that behind my back," Gustavo seemed in disbelief, hearing that the real Irene no longer loved him.

"Honestly, I actually don't love you anymore. The exhaustion of taking care of the house and your children makes me tired and bored. I myself feel that love has eroded by itself."

"Not because I have another man, but because I'm too bored with my own life. I've wanted to be free and leave you for a long time, children are completely the father's responsibility. So I don't think anyone will burden me with leaving even though I don't have any possessions with me," without any expression of anger, Irene spoke very confidently.

"Don't tell me you chose to divorce?!" Gustavo confirmed his wife's train of thought.

"Accompanying you for almost twenty years, without asking for more and understanding all your actions. I think that's more than enough in the dictionary of sacrifice," Irene began to show her ego.

Gustavo was a little surprised by all the sentences Irene said. He thought that all this time his wife had been very happy and really depended on him for her life. Unexpectedly, it turns out that Irene has been tired feelings of wanting to leave and leave her family for a long time.

"It turns out there is no sincerity in your heart, you did this all out of pity," Gustavo said in a bad conclusion.

"I did it for your happiness, but if it turns out that my presence doesn't make you happy. I'm going to go, finally my patience in getting through the boring life of a family will now be finished," Irene let out a long breath, as if feeling so relieved that her stress would soon be over.

"So you want us to divorce, can you really live out there without my money?!" Gustavo proudly still believes in his greatness.

"Making money doesn't have to be in a company, nowadays people can also make money at home. Many businesses exist because of a belief system. With the skills I have, it seems like it would be easy just to earn money," a fairly reasonable argument entered Gustavo's ears.

The man understand a little and remembered that his wife used to be very intelligent. Some of these advantages actually attracted Gustavo to love her. His wife being silent for too long and just staying at home made Gustavo forget about his wife's actions in the past.

He increasingly remembered that his wife's education was higher than his, as was his family's social status. Irene was born to parents who were even now Irene's parents are still in the same position.

After this divorce, it is likely that Irene will dong her life as before. Gustavo's mind then wandered to comparing the woman he was selling, to his wife. The woman he had been superior to turn out to be distant from his wife.

His mistress had a lower education than him, especially compared to his wife. She is only a diploma graduate, Gustavo is a bachelor's graduate and Irene, his wife, is a master's graduate. That already looks very lame.

Her body is sexy and beautiful because she diligently goes to beauty salons. If Irene did this, of course her wife would be more beautiful because she had the authority of a more educated woman.

"Wait, maybe you have another relationship behind my back. So you easily decided to divorce!" Gustavo started accusing.

"What do you mean by having an affair? Having a relationship with my husband was bad thing so much. There is absolutely no happiness, why should I be in love with someone else. Just wasting time," Irene scornfully laughed at her husband's accusation.

"It's possible, it looks like you already have plans after the divorce."

"My story is different from yours. I'm always at home and never hang out with my friends, do you think I'm cheating on you with your neighbour?" ask Irene.

"Never mind, it's better just talk about what's necessary. When, you going to arrange our divorce?" Gustavo was very surprised because Irene asked something so important in her opinion, in such a casual tone.

"What is the meaning of your question, when will I arrange our divorce? Do you really want that thing, even God hates?" Gustavo started to have a little doubt about his decision.

He thought that Irene would obey him and want to be taken in love with him, but it turned out that his thoughts were completely wrong. The fact that his wife was unhappy and always depressed had surprised him a little.

The reason is that Irene never complained or asked him for various things. She was just always quiet and did her homework really well. Sometimes Gustavo sees that his wife never takes care of herself, because she is lazy or doesn't want to.

It turns out that what happened was because he felt that she accentuate other interests. He remembered again when Irene forced him to buy a suit, so he would have formal clothes to go to a certain party or meeting, the price was enough to take up his entire salary that month.

He, who at that time felt he didn't need it, refused, but Irene insisted and finally when that happened, money was running low. The steps taken by Irene turned out to be able to save him from a sudden important meeting.

Until Gustavo got a promotion and his position rose higher. Gustavo's appearance, which was then seen as established by others, earned him trust and became frequently involved in important matters.

That was the beginning of Gustavo's success which he is currently achieving. Because with just a small monthly salary, Irene can go through life's cycle, so Gustavo never gives his salary bonuses from his work instead of savings.

So until now, even though Gustavo looks successful, the quota he gives every month is still the same as before. Meanwhile, Irene, who is trying not to escalate the problem, prefers to keep quiet and live normally as before.

"Why, why was it me? Who was wrong in here? You were the one who said it earlier, why are you turning to blame me now?" Irene felt unhappy when she heard the sentence that God would hate her because of this divorce.

She was the one who should have been disappointed and angry, instead he was the one who was scolded as if it was all his request. Irene was patient enough to accept all of Gustavo's increasingly disrespectful treatment.

Besides, she considers Gustavo a man who is very selfish and wants to win alone. Irene has done her best to respect and never reveal her husband's shortcomings to other people.

She kept her suffering and the act of her husband cheating behind her back. Irene actually already knew about it and saw it herself several times, but she decided to remain calm and carry on as long as Gustavo didn't admit it.

Irene still hoped that her husband was just bored and wanted to just play with the woman. As long as he returned home, Irene still accepted and treated him with respect.

Even bed activities started to feel uncomfortable for her because she imagined her husband doing the same thing at his mistress's house, making her a little forced to accept him.

But because her intention was to attract her husband to come home to her. She tried to get rid of her feelings and serve him well.

Irene preferred to think that as she got older, she couldn't satisfy her husband's desires, so she could immediately accept the reality of the affair, as long as Gustavo didn't bring the woman into this family.

As if bitten by her own pet, Irene did not expect that the woman would become greedy and force the status of wife on her husband. This is what made Gustavo then admit his own actions, because he wanted to ask permission to marry again.

As soon as the confession came, Irene was confused in her heart. She was the one who should have answered softly, but instead all the feelings and what she had experienced came out of her mouth. He was so determined that he chose divorce rather than living with his wife.

The thought of maintaining the family no longer exists, even the desire to attract her husband to come back, has also disappeared somewhere.

She felt strange, because she casually didn't think about bringing her child, but gave full responsibility to her husband.

She should have asked for all rights, so that her child could still live with her. However, the opposite actually came out of her mouth. Now she feels a little afraid at the thought of being separated from her child.

There was no way she would correct what she said, that would let Gustavo know her weakness. She prefers to remain silent and will attack back if the opportunity arises.

"That's enough. It's better to think again about your answer, don't be careless or you will suffer afterwards. I'll ask about it later and hope you will accept my marriage. It would be a pity for the children if they had to separate from you," Gustavo deliberately delayed the outcome of the conversation this time.

He did this, so that Irene would change her mind and accept his marriage. After all, he needed Irene to accompany his children. He doesn't want his office affairs to be disturbed by taking care of all his children's needs and interests.

Gustavo was afraid that the extra busyness, would mean he wouldn't have time to spend with his mistress. Monika, is the woman's name. She moved from the village to the city to work, after divorcing her husband. She has one daughter who still lives with her mother in the village.

All this time, Monica lived in a small boarding house because her salary was used up to send to the village. She lived as she was, until a married man was interested in her and gave her all the stability.

After her life changed for the better, her ex-lover preferred to return to his family and left her with several assets that could support her life. Like a car and a house even though they are small.

She then met Gustavo, while trying to apply for a job as employee at the big company. She joined this company because her ex-girlfriend recommended that Monica's life would be better without him.

In fact, her diploma itself does not meet the quality requirements to work at this company, but good connections, as well as good work results, have made her promoted to the position of secretary now.

From there, they became close because they often met and went out together. Their goal, which was actually just for business purposes, turned into a honeymoon because it was interspersed with several hot scenes in it.

"Ought... Sir, this is really good. You are a strong man," said Monica the first time her supple upper body was squeezed by Gustavo.

When Gustavo heard sentences like that from Monica's mouth, he automatically continued his rudeness because he felt challenged to show his inner manly qualities. That business trip ultimately became the beginning of their relationship without any status in it.

Monica, who deliberately pulled Gustavo into her arms, managed to do this by provoking the man's lust. She often wears skimpy clothes and is seductive with her spoiled and cute behavior.

Her body language always appeared to challenge the eyes of Gustavo, who were around her every day. Monica did this on purpose to ensnare her director, so her life would be safe and comfortable at this workplace.

She doesn't need to be afraid of her boss and can do whatever she wants while working. In fact, all the other employees were very reluctant to her, because of her closeness to her superiors.

They didn't know the exact relationship between the two, but their closeness made them have to be more careful when dealing with the secretary.

Gustavo, as a director, always believes what Monica says, which makes other employees more alert when reporting their work. They are always prepared with data, this is done if Monica reports the situation incorrectly and only speaks carelessly.

With the data that had been recapped and taken with them, Gustavo, who believed Monica's words, could change direction by looking at the existing data. This happened several times, but Gustavo never scolded her.

Even the director defended Monica for various reasons. Instead of reprimanding him or giving a good example, he instead excused all of his secretary's attitude with words of pity.

"Everything that Miss Monica reported is not true, sir. This is the real data," Gustavo then checked the results of the report himself, which was indeed different from the report given by Monica.

"Maybe she's tired, poor thing. Just let this problem go, you fix it again. Working alone to support her children is too hard for her," Gustavo protected Monica from her mistakes and asked the employee to confirm the report made by his secretary.

Like it or not, the employee has to carry out his boss's orders by working twice because he has to correct mistakes that he didn't make. It's even more annoying when the name written there is Monica as the report maker.

"Sir... it seems like some employees are trying to bring me down. They gave wrong reports and made me make mistakes. It's so annoying," Monica grumbled in front of Gustavo.

Gustavo, who was in love and immediately wanted to feel the sensation of tasting her body, became dark-eyed by always accepting her feelings and defending Monica. Curiosity about the slight touch they had yesterday made him want to feel more.

Monica, who was also teasing him so that her position would always be safe, deliberately provoked his curiosity so that it would build up. The temptation of desire will make Gustavo harder to approach her.

"You don't need to think about it, I've asked him to correct the report for you. So there's no need to discuss it any more. You too, how could your work go wrong like that?" asked Gustavo in informal language.

"Its because of you too," answered the woman.

"How could I, what does that mean?" Gustavo didn't really understand what this girl was talking about.

"Your touch yesterday made me unable to concentrate for a long time. My thoughts just wandered to the palm of your hand which was emitting electricity," answered Monica a little shyly.

Hearing this, made Gustavo really bloom. He could conquer this woman with his touch that was nothing act in his opinion. Gustavo didn't know that the woman was still thinking about yesterday's incident, which was Gustavo's mistake.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be unkind. At that time I was so carried away by the atmosphere. The cold air and the romantic atmosphere of the villa made me do inappropriate things," Gustavo say sorry for yesterday's incident.

"It was my fault, sir, that I just let it go and kept quiet about it. I am also confused about my feelings. I wanted to refuse and get angry because I felt harassed, but actually I also liked your touch. Sorry sir, I was a little presumptuous," Monica explained.

For various reasons, they finally tried to act professionally again. Gustavo remembers his family and Monica also doesn't want to destroy other people's homes. The two, then resumed their normal activities.

But as time goes by, the relationship continues with a different frequency. Gustavo and Monica often talk about things that are in their hearts and become closer.

The goal is to avoid physical touch and try to tell stories so that their trip out of town is not boring and awkward. But now it makes them know each other and understand each other's character.

This actually makes their inner bond closer. Praising each other's strengths and accepting each other's weaknesses makes their relationship more unified.

This also didn't last long because Monica's real goal was to steal Gustavo's wealth so that her life would be easier.

Monica complained several times about the lack of money for her village's needs, making Gustavo always treat the woman out of his pocket. He does not hesitate to dig into his savings to satisfy Monica's unfulfilled desires.

"Am very sad, sir. I didn't buy the bag I was after, because my mother was sick and needed care, so I had to send all my salary to my child while someone looked after me," said Monica wearily when she saw the advertisement in the office magazine.

"Is your bag damaged?" asked Gustavo.

"It's not damaged, sir. Only the colour is a little faded, looks worn. I'm a little embarrassed to bring it to the office," answered Monica with a faint smile.

Gustavo, who heard the disappointed words, felt displeased and wanted to surprise her by planning to buy it, assuming he was doing charity to support a widow.

"Where did you buy it?" Gustavo asked to see the price of the bag first.

"Ah, how nice. You're going to buy it for me, Sir?!" said Monica, who expected that.

Because she was so happy, Monica immediately threw herself into Gustavo's arms and thanked him. She showed her happiness because Gustavo cared so much about her. She even said that she was very touched by this friendship.

Hearing this, Gustavo couldn't make another choice. Now he was definitely going to buy it, because Monica was too happy to think this was true.

The question had come out and resulted in another conclusion, leaving him with no choice. He didn't want his authority to fall because he went back on his words.

"Thank you, sir. You are so kind. I'm so happy," Monica said repeatedly as she continued to stroke Gustavo's cheek.
