150 Days Wedding Dilemma

Chapter 18 - Cuek

Aletta stared softly at every corner of her house that looked chaotic, her belongings seemed to be scattered everywhere. But that is not what makes him sad, but because all his property is lost. The treasure that had been the result of his labor all this time, disappeared in an instant.

Aletta wiped her tears when she heard the sound of the car she knew. He quickly stepped towards the door, then opened the door. Just as he opened the door, Zico was already in front. Seeing Zico, Aletta reflexively hugged the man.

Zico did not mind it, he returned Aletta's embrace while rubbing Aletta's hair gently. "What's wrong with you, Al? What's the problem?" ask Zico in his arms.

Aletta let go of her embrace, the tears that she had wiped off earlier re-stained in her eyes. "I'm a robbery, all my savings and jewels are left. I put it in the safe and nobody knows the safe code either."

Zico was surprised to hear that, he rubbed Aletta's shoulder to calm the woman down. "Aletta, you calm down. Try slowly you explain how your house can be robbed?"

Aletta asked Zico to sit in front of her house. He began to explain what happened. "I was last afternoon from the boutique, the intention was to go home to take designs for launching new products. As until the house turned out the door was open, the goods were also messy everywhere. I went straight to the room to check the safe and my guess was, the safe was open. All the important papers, money, jewelery. I don't know what else to do now" retorted Aletta raucously, for holding back her tears.

Zico calms Aletta down. Hearing the girl's story, it seems like there are people who have been eyeing for a long time and know the code of Aletta's safe. At the right time, then the man launched his action to open Aletta's safe.

"You calm down, yeah. I'll help you make this case, but the cctv in your house is on, right?" ask Zico again.

Aletta nodded, she indeed never turned off her cctv. "Nyala," replied Aletta.

"We could be evidence to make a report to the police. You don't have to panic, I'll let you take care of this problem until it's over." Zico smiled gently at Aletta, even if she had rejected him and made her heart ache. But Zico still can not stop caring about Aletta, because the woman is still the person Zico loved so much until this moment.

Aletta clasped Zico's hand, she stared at Zico softly. "Thank you, I'm always willing to help anything when I have a problem. Though my friend you're the same Devian, but only you doang always have time every time I ask for help."

Zico just smiled wistfully, if Aletta had noticed it in the first place and would have accepted it then it would have been different.

"From the time I only loved Devian, until my heart could not look at any man other than him. Just don't know why when you go to the store and say you're getting married, I'm sick. I do not feel willing to wriggle you married, even to come to your marriage at that time I could not afford. I'm sorry, because I realized too late that I love you. I just realized when you married someone else," said Aletta Lirih.

Zico is shocked to hear Aletta's statement, he doesn't know if he should be happy or sad. On the other hand he is happy because his love does not clap one hand, but he is also sad because now their circumstances are different.

Zico is originally married to Sally to make Aletta jealous and make her fans not exceed the limits of her privacy. But his position as an artist does not allow for divorce now, because their marriage is still relatively new. It would certainly raise a lot of questions if he suddenly divorced for Aletta.

Aletta looked at Zico who was still unmoved without looking at her, her heart as if crumbling to see Zico not answering anything. Aletta realizes that confessing her love to Zico while the man is married is wrong, but she also does not want to lose Zico.

"Zico, I know you're married. I know you're happy now, I'm sorry for bothering you with my words. I just wanted to be honest, but I didn't expect more. Forget what I said earlier, just assume I didn't say anything." Aletta forced her smile, she took her eyes off Zico.

Zico tried to take his mind off Aletta, he was really confused as to how it should be now. It was impossible if he was honest and told Aletta to wait for him for five months, but her heart could not lie that she was happy to hear Aletta's statement.

"We are now mending kumpulin the evidence for reporting this case, let's just meet the perpetrator." Zico switched the conversation.

Seeing Zico who did not heed his words, made Aletta's heart even more sick. Aletta realized that if she was too late, there was no longer a name in Zico's heart. "Yes, will you help me with the photographs?"

"Yes" Zico replied with a smile on Aletta.

The two then move on and enter Aletta's house to take pictures for the necessary evidence. Although Zico honestly still thinks about Aletta's previous words, he does not know until when he can hold his heart to not tell Aletta that he still loves her. But Zico hopes he can finish his marriage in time and return to Aletta.

Sally woke up from her sleep, she stared at the wall clock in her room. The clock still shows at two in the morning, suddenly he felt hungry. After the prayer, Sally fell asleep, so she had not eaten anything.

Sally got out of her bed and took her hijab. He put it on first, before finally coming out of his room. He saw Zico's door, but Zico didn't come home.

I don't know where Zico went, let alone he's been gone a long time since noon. Aware of having thought of Zico, Sally quickly turned her mind around. He went downstairs to the kitchen he hadn't touched since he got to Zico's house.

Once he finished, he lit two stoves. The other is to boil vegetables, the other he uses to fry cornets and meatballs. He deliberately cooked that is not too complicated, because it is very hungry.

Sally smiled seeing everything was ripe, she then took a large enough bowl and put rice, vegetables, meatballs, and corned beef into one. He added a spicy and sweet spice, then stirred it into one. As soon as she finished, Sally took her to the dining table opposite the kitchen.

"So too," said Sally satisfied, she immediately ate her food after reading the prayer first. He smiled feeling the food he made, tasted good even if it was only potluck.

The sound of the door opening made Sally turn her head, she turned her eyes back once she thought about who was coming. Of course it's Zico, he just got home this late? Sally didn't want to think about it, no matter what time she went home.

On the other side, Zico, who had just entered, locked the door again. He frowned when he saw the kitchen lights on. Zico stepped into the kitchen, frowning when he saw Sally eating.

"Why are you eating at this hour?" ask Zico as he steps closer to the dining table.

Sally swallowed her food first, before answering Zico's question. "Laper," Sally replied briefly, she went back to eating her food.

Zico chuckles at this, and sits down next to Sally and watches the food Sally makes. "What other food is like gini? So strange. Not only is his attitude strange, but his taste is also strange."

Sally shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "Don't look at food from the way it looks." Sally replied expressionlessly.

Zico grimaced at the thought of the food being mixed into his mouth, seeing that he wanted to vomit. "No, I don't want to." Zico shook his head.

"Yaudah," said Sally, not caring, he resumed his meal.

Zico looked at Sally strangely, not usually the woman this cute. Usually Sally would definitely babble at length once Zico said things that upset Sally. In contrast to this time, Sally looked even more reserved. "Tumben you're not fussy" Zico said.

"Just sleepy." Again Sally only replied briefly.

"Lo's mad at me, 'cause I'm coming home? I was there" Zico hadn't finished his words yet, Sally cut him off.

"No, anyways you come home at what time is none of my business. You said you told me not to interfere, so whatever you do I don't care." Sally replied with a flat face, she was about to stand up to put her bowl down.

Zico blocks Sally's hand, pulling Sally's hand back. "Lo's angry with me again, your attitude is not as usual. I'm sorry if I was a bit rude this afternoon, I'm just in a hurry to say that."

Sally smiled obliquely. "Nothing to forgive, you're not wrong. We should be indifferent to each other, right" Sally replied forcing her smile.

Zico is increasingly confused to see Sally's behavior, actually what makes it turn out like this. "I don't mean that, don't interfere in each other's affairs does not mean to be foreign like this right? Lo that's why, you're angry because I said you didn't have to interfere?" Zico still asked Sally, as if not satisfied with Sally's answer.

"Why should you be angry too? From the beginning we are married because of each other's interests, so there is no need to interfere with each other. It doesn't matter either" Sally replied before standing back up and stepping towards the sink in the kitchen.

Sally just put the bowl down and walked back up the stairs to her room. "Tomorrow I wash," he said without stopping his steps.

Zico no longer stopped Sally, he just stared at Sally's back in silence. He did not understand Sally's change in attitude towards him, no matter what was wrong with the woman. Honestly, Sally's usual annoying attitude is much better than this.

Zico clucked slowly. He who is tired just finished dealing with Aletta's problems, increasingly made dizzy with Sally's strange attitude to her. Zico got up from the chair and stepped towards his room.

Maybe tomorrow Sally's feeling will be better, so Zico will have her talk again tomorrow. Who knows tomorrow morning Sally's attitude could change for her.
