Miracle leaned carefully on the sofa while earnestly watching a show about the pregnant woman.
She wanted the best for her baby so lately she has been having fun with these kinds of shows.
He just tried to comfort himself while waiting for his wife for dinner. Trigger told her to cook for dinner and she already did, only the man's presence was missing.
She turned her gaze at the door when she heard some noise. He quickly got up from the seat to open up to his wife.
"Trigger," she whispered softly when her husband appeared right in front of her eyes.
"What?" was a cold question before he passed. Miracle immediately closed the door.
"How are you? Are you tired? Do you want to rest first?" she asked him while he's busy removing his tie.
"I told you that I'll eat dinner with you."
She swallowed many times. "I cooked a lot of food in the kitchen. Get dressed first, I guess you've been wearing that before," he said, referring to his wife's suit.
Trigger removed his coat before tilting his head. "I bought something, it's a board with snakes and ladders shits, the lady told me that it's an interesting game. Let's play after eating."
The man gently pulled his wristband to take her to the kitchen. Trigger immediately sat on the chair before gesturing to her to sit also.
Miracle sat silently in the chair to her husband's right.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Eat," he commanded authoritatively.
The woman was very aggressive. "I ate k-earlier. I thought you weren't coming so I ate n-when I was hungry."
Trigger stopped eating when she said that. It looked up at him. "Why didn't you wait for me?"
"I'm sorry. You always come home so early in the morning so I didn't expect you to come home early."
"You should have waited for me at least until 8 o 'clock."
Miracle just nodded. "I'll just eat again if you're angry."
"Nevermind." Trigger walked out from the kitchen.
The woman just sighed because of that. She wanted to slap herself from ruining the moment. I hope he just ate again even though he was full. Edi hopes her husband doesn't lose his mood.
Miracle's eyes widened when Trigger came back, he placed a plastic bag in front of her before returning to his seat.
"What's this?" Miracle asked before starting to open the paper bag.
"It's a dessert I bought there, I heard that it's good for pregnant women."
Miracle's eyes widened at the husband's answer. He looked at it but it was just looking deep at him.
"What? Aren't you pregnant?"
She gulped. How did the man know she was pregnant?
She opened her mouth, she was about to say something but Trigger just let out a soft laugh.
"I'm kidding. How can you get pregnant when nothing happened to us?" laughed at this promise before resuming the meal.
The woman just bowed because of that. As usual, Trigger doesn't really remember that night. It didn't know something had happened to them because it was so drunk.
She just sighed before opening the small container. The foul smell of dessert immediately surrounded his nose.
Miracle quickly stood up from her seat before running towards the sink. He was nauseous because of the smell he inhaled. That dessert smells awful!
He heard his wife's footsteps behind him. She can feel how Trigger's hand caresses her back.
"What happened to you?"
The woman turned on the faucet before rinsing her mouth. She also took the mouthwash on the side and drank it.
He confronted the wife who immediately walked closer to the dessert she had bought. It lifted the container and smelled the food.
"What? It smells good."
Miracle pinched herself. It's a pregnancy thing that Trigger won't understand.
"I'm sorry, it smells awful for me," she answered.
His wife frowned. "I thought you'd like it." He picked up the dessert again before throwing it in the trash.
"I'm done eating. Let's play a game."
There was a tinge of excitement in his voice as he laid a board on the table.
Miracle on the other hand walked towards her husband. "Oh, it's Snakes and Ladders."
"You know this game?" his wife asked.
She nodded her head. "I love it to get rid of boredom. How come you never knew about this?"
"I have no time for shits-- I mean for fucking-- Fuck! Why can't I stop myself from cursing ?!" It's cheap.
Miracle chuckled with his actions. "Yeah, I get it. You don't have time for that? Come on, I'll just teach you. That's easy to understand."
She assembled the board and took the dice and small objects.
"Since we only have two to play, we only need two chips. One for you and one for me." He handed the blue chip to his wife who immediately accepted it.
"I'll roll the dice and how many numbers are on the dice, how many times do you have to move your chip, okay?" Trigger nodded obediently.
"You first first. You also roll the dice. Put your chip here in the very first box. "
The man obeyed. Since six is the total number of the dice result, Trigger moved his chip according to that number. Its chip stopped on the ladder.
"What does this ladder mean?" he asked.
"When you hit the snake, you will fall or go back to the end of its tail. When you stop there, it means you will go up to the end of the ladder. Move your chin up." She held his hand to accompany him.
Smiling, the man turned to her. "Hell nah, I'm higher than you."
Miracle just smirked. "I think I'm the MVP here. Watch and learn. It's all about luck."
She rolled the dice seriously. Now the result is 8. She moved her chip according to that number and smiled afterwards. He was also stunned by the stairs.
He immediately climbed the chip towards the end of the ladder, just as Miracle expected he was now taller than Trigger.
"What ?! You're a cheater!" Trigger exclaimed angrily.
"What? I didn't do anything," Miracle answered back.
Creased when the man snatched the dice from her. "I'll win against you. Watch me."
