"Michael Collins, will you have Sarah Smith to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort her, respect her, and keep her in sickness and in health, and be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"
Michael looked at the man who asked the question, then at the woman in the white wedding dress in front of him who looked very beautiful today.
"I do," Michael replied with a big smile, his voice slightly shaking, showing how nervous he was right now.
He still couldn't believe that the woman who was being asked the same question, would soon become his wife.
The beautiful woman nodded her head, then looked at Michael with a big smile on his face, making him even more beautiful.
"Then you can kiss your bride."
It was a day that Michael will never forget for the rest of his life. The day he married the woman he loves, the day he became the husband of a woman. The day his family started.
After that day, everything seemed happy to Michael, he can see the face of the woman he loves when he wakes up in the morning, and see that face when he is going to sleep. He can also have breakfast and dinner with her.
Every day feels happy for him, makes Michael promise that he will always make the woman who wants to be his wife happy forever.
After hearing that his wife has her dream house, Michael becomes even more keen to work hard to buy her dream house.
Currently he does have a startup company that is engaged in the game, it's a company that he founded with his friend, it had only been two years, but Michael was sure that he and his friends will get a big breakthrough with the game they will release.
Although his current money is not much, it is enough to support him and his wife, moreover his wife asked him to postpone having children, making Michael a little relieved about it.
However, the happiness felt by Michael soon disappeared when the condition of his company became bad and was threatened with bankruptcy.
"Let's ask Collins, I'm sure your dad is willing to help us," Michael's friend said as the two of them were talking about how to avoid this situation.
"No, I will not contact my dad. We can get another investor, I'll work on it," said Michael shaking his head.
Even though Michael was sure that his father would help him when he asked for help, Michael didn't want to get such a privilege. His pride won't let it. He wants to be successful in his own way, it's not a smooth road because he has to walk on a road full of gravel and thorns, but he wants to try himself.
"You really are stubborn, alright, I'll work on that too."
After that, Michael tried hard to keep his company with his wife in mind, who became his strength, she was about to start doing clinical practice and graduate.
After that, maybe his wife will need money to become a doctor again, and as a husband, he should help her to become a doctor.
"You look a mess. Is there any problem?"
Michael turned when he felt his wife's touch on his arm, a look of surprise on his face.
"You here," Michael said, trying to smile.
"You didn't hear me come in? What is it? Is there any problem?"
Michael shook his head when he heard his wife's question. His wife had been tired all day studying, he better not tell her what happened.
Everything will be fine, his wife doesn't need to know about this and it ends up being a burden to his wife.
"No, I was just thinking about something but everything is fine. Oh yeah, do you want to take a bath in the bathtub? I'll fill the water for you," Michael replied then immediately stood up and walked to their room.
Time passed, his wife finally started doing clinical practice at one of the hospitals and became busier than usual, which made Michael a little grateful for that because it meant he could meet investors without his wife knowing because of her 12 hour schedule at the hospital.
"Baby. This... ahhh..."
Michael took his eyes off the tablet when he heard his wife call him baby and didn't act like she usually does. He suddenly opened his mouth when he saw a fork with waffles heading towards him.
"It is suspicious. My wife suddenly feeds me and acts cute like this," Michael said with a smile.
Currently his company is still under threat, but seeing his wife's behavior like this makes Michael feel comforted and his stress just disappears.
"What's wrong? What does my wife want, hm?" Michael asked, then put his tablet on the table and looked at his wife sitting in front of him who was now smiling shyly.
Suddenly, Michael could feel his tablet that was placed on the table vibrate and display a message from his friend.
[Michael, I managed to find an investor!! *happy emoticon* *smile emoticon* That's Power Inc. But…]
From where Michael was, he was able to read a little message from his friend, but it was cut off because the message was too long.
"It's nothing. It's just… looks like my shift will end at midnight, maybe at two or three? Can you come pick me up at the hospital?"
Michael's face looked serious when he read the last words from his friend, he then immediately reached for his tablet again to look at the contents, it seemed like the but word is not a good sign.
[But they only have time at night to talk about this, I'm not too sure if they're really willing to help us but come with me and convince them.]
"Don't you usually come home alone? You want me to wait for you until midnight?" Michael asked as he read the message from his tablet.
At the moment Michael's mind was too focused on how to succeed in convincing the investor and didn't really think much about what his wife said or look at his wife's face. Well… before his wife also goes home alone, right?
Meeting investors at night is not a good sign, it means he has to drink and after what happened, not necessarily they will become investors.
That night, Michael and his friends tried to convince the CEO of the company, and in the end the result was not a waste at all, they managed to get a sponsor from the company!
After the CEO of the company left, Michael looked at his watch which was now show 12:04
"Didn't Sarah say she would be home at three? I think I can come pick her up," Michael thought when he saw the time. He still had time to come see his wife.
"Where are you going?"
Michael turned when his friend saw he was about to leave.
"I have to go home soon, my wife..."
"Ey? We managed to get investors and you will go home? We should celebrate this! Let's go have a drink, I'll treat you!" said his friend then immediately put his arm around Michael.
"Next time, I have to go home and..."
"You are really not fun. Just a moment, okay? Accompany me at the bar. We have to celebrate this so we can work well in the future!" persuaded his friend.
Michael paused then looked back at his watch, if I'm not mistaken his wife said that he had to pick her up at two or three.
"I think I have time, I will be with him for an hour before finally going to pick Sarah up," Michael thought then decided to follow his friend and celebrated their success.
At least, that was what Michael thought at first, but it seemed he had had too much to drink and had completely forgotten about it. His wife had been used to going home alone all this time anyway, so he didn't think much of it.
Time flew by, the condition of MCGames, Michael's company, finally recovered from bankruptcy and slowly got better.
However, his wife slowly started to be different and not as cheerful as before. Michael just thought that his wife was busy doing her clinical practice.
"Wifey... let's do it, okay? We haven't done it in a week," said Michael gently, shaking Sarah's arm. Tonight, he suddenly feels aroused and wants to make love to his wife.
"I'm tired, Michael, let's do it next time."
Michael couldn't help but sigh when he saw his wife turn and give him her back. It seemed his wife was really exhausted and Michael didn't want to force it.
Although several times his wife often refuses to have sex, it doesn't mean they never do it, it's just that the time is getting less and less. Michael at least tried to understand that.
Time passed and Michael's period of suffering finally ended when his wife finally graduated, their relationship became more intimate and almost every day they were always making out, replacing the previous nights.
Their marriage is also one year old, although people around them often talk about why they don't have children yet, but Michael doesn't care about that, he and his wife are happy. That's all that matters.
However, everything changed again after Sarah managed to become an intern at one of the hospitals where she was doing her clinical practice, his wife became busier than before making Michael rarely see his wife.
Previously he had rarely seen Sarah because he was busy working at the company, and after Sarah became an intern, they saw each other even less.
Until finally… that night happened…
