Chapter 1 : LOVE

"Honey! Where are you?"

A guy in his early thirties burst from the front door, searching for his wife. He bought something for her on the way back home.

Zackry worked as a lawyer in a big firm in Kuala Lumpur, right after he finished his doctorate in University of Barcelona, five years after he graduated from a local school in Malaysia. He was a good looking man, nearly six feet tall, with broad shoulders, and lean body.

Obsessed with his health, Zackry had his own exercise schedule, with a professional paid trainer in a local gym, where he first laid his eyes on a pretty woman, his wife, three years ago.

"I'm here! Reading a magazine", Sarah screamed when she heard her husband's voice.

So there was her, at the corner of their living room. Sarah was still pretty, except that she gained ten pounds since they were married. Her dark brown eyes looked tired, maybe she's working too hard with her arts. Her fair face appeared older, she was not into make up, wearing nothing to enlighten her face.

"Hi Zack... Welcome home. How's your day?"

Sarah greeted her husband without even looking at his face. Her eyes stared at the latest fashion pictures from one of the pages in the magazine that she read.

"Look, I bought a dress for you. You're in size 40, right Hons? I want you to wear this next month, for my company annual dinner."

Paused.

Zackry had never bought Sarah any dress before. Her husband bought her a dress? A red sexy dress? It was weird. Sarah tried to understand, but her thoughts were meddling with her head.

"How do you know my size?"

"How do you know which dress I like?"

"Who helped you to choose it?"

Sarah blurted out the questions. She knew that she was fatter than before, so she did not feel to wear any dresses to any dinner, even her husband's annual dinner. She just want to be at home, designing new sculptures, or drawing or anything.

All Zackry's colleagues will be there. Some were beautiful plus sexy and sophisticated ladies, with long skinny legs.

Zackry was surprised with Sarah's reaction. Sophie, his assistant had helped him to buy and choose that dress, but he did not dare to tell the truth to Sarah. Her face was full of jealousy and hatred, and Sarah flung to the kitchen to calm herself down.
