"Yang .. you tad -
Ddrrt...
Axell's words immediately stopped because his phone suddenly rang, a sign of an incoming call.
"Shit!" The instant that came out of Axell's mouth. I don't know why today the man was so upset just because of a phone call.
On Sundays like this actually Axell just want to relax all day at home and do not want anything to interfere with his free time. But, it seems like Axell's desire to enjoy Sunday will be a little disturbed.
Lazily Axell stood up from his position that was still leaning on Dira's legs earlier and switched to sitting next to the wife. His hand stretched out to reach the cellphone that he had placed on the table near his seat.
๐ Bastian is Calling...
Axell raised one eyebrow as he read the name of the caller's id. There's a Bastian name on the bright screen. Suddenly a question mark appeared in Axell's mind. What did his best friend call him on Sunday so early?
"Hello." Axell said in his typical flat tone as usual. Axell is like that, right? Then he pressed the speaker badge on his phone.
"Wait, relax dong, bro! How can I not make a cake that I call?" Answer Bastian across the street.
"Go damn! You're interrupting my Sunday, Bas." Hardik Axell who now rests his head on Dira's shoulders while closing his eyes. The man was still breathing after exercising against Marvellyo's father playing tennis earlier.
"What's the first bother, huh? Uh ... anyay! My brain suddenly kek ngajak plane ticket booking do you know? Dengerin breath Lo the cake abis marathon so. It's morning, woy! It's legitimate, Dira's in Mulu gas!" Said Bastian who even thought that Axell and Dira were uniting the nations today.
The basic Babas, that's his head why can it lead there?
"Damn Lo, Bas! I'm playing tennis, Anj**ng!" Axell replies that dismisses what is on Bastian's mind at the moment.
But, not Babas name if immediately stop seducing Axell his best friend. "What kind of tennis was it, huh? Tennis that plays with hands or tennis that goes back and forth pretty? Bhaha..." Ask bastian who increasingly teased Axell. Even Axell and Dira could clearly hear Bastian's broken laughter across there.
"Lo's brain needs to be restarted, Bas! Your mind is starting to fill up with shower collections!" Axell sighed softly, "... I'm home again." Replied Axell who now lifted his head from Dira's shoulder.
"So you really did play tennis like Marvel?" Ask Bastian who is now starting to believe what Axell said earlier, If Axell is indeed playing tennis with Marvellyo's father. And Bastian memorized the activities that Axell and his father did every holiday.
"According to Lo?" Ask Axell back.
"OK-OK, I believe." Answer Bastian across the street.
"No need to." Fast Axell.
"What?" Ask Bastian who did not lose quickly as well.
"Lo .. is not needed here!" Reply Axell, the man now grabbed Dira's hand for her to hold.
"Damn Lo!" Now it's Bastian's turn to curse.
"What's the matter you call me?" Ask Axell who does not know why his best friend called him now.
"There's nothing, bro ... Just the Verrel ngajakin nongki at d'Axe Cafe." Answer Bastian
Not immediately answering, Axell instead turned to look at Dira.
"Wooh, Xell! You're still there, right?" Call Bastian from across the street after no answer from Axell.
"Lo two first! I'll be in an hour." Answer Axell.
"OK." Bastian replied and the phone was immediately closed by Axell.
Tutt...
Axell then put his phone back on the table.
"Yes..."
"Sister..."
Call Axell and Dira at the same time.
"Sir Axell is the first!" Dira replied, who instead asked Axell to say what her husband wanted to say.
"A first ladies?" Said Axell with a smile that decorated his handsome face.
Dira sighed softly hearing what there was to say. "So that's ..."
"Which one?" Axell asked who did not understand what the wife meant.
"What did Brother Bastian say?" Said Dira who looked doubtful.
"Much of what Bastian said!" Answer Axell who still does not understand what Dira means.
Dira again sighed softly while staring at Axell's face.
"Which is it, Yang! Try the obvious!" Axell said again.
"Kak Bastian ... um .. does he know our real relationship?" Ask Dira who can no longer hold her curiosity.
Axell nodded, "Udah." Axell replied like there was no burden at all.
"Since when?" Ask Dira again. Axell's wife was so curious about when exactly Bastian knew their true relationship.
Axell sighed, he forgot to tell Dira about it, "Some time ago, Yang. I was forced to tell Bastian about our marriage because he's still keeping ngarepin you." Axell.
"But right, brother - brother
"Udah, Yang! There is no but. Only Bastian knows." Breakup Axell. The man understood the meaning of the rejection Dira showed.
Hearing Axell's reply, Dira only sighed resignedly. How else, Bastian knows, right?"
"I'm instead planning to go public about our actual relationship, Yang! But I guess you're not ready." Axell.
Dira looked at Axell in surprise, not thinking at all that her husband thought he would tell the truth about their relationship. "Sir .. I'm still in eleventh grade!"
"Look. But what's wrong, which? All the teachers in our school even know about our true status. Also, the school belongs to my father. You can even still calmly attend school there even though you have a wife. So what are you still afraid of?" Axell. The man was still inexhaustible with what his wife was thinking right now. Why is his wife so afraid of his status that many people know about?
Silent. For a moment Dira was silent to digest whatever Axell had said to her earlier. It is true that the school belongs to his parents-in-law. But what Dira was thinking was the response from her school friends. What would they think if they knew Dira and Axell's status was not a courtship but a husband and wife?
Seeing Dira's reaction, which was just silent, Axell sighed softly. It seems he should give more understanding to his wife.
Now both Axell's hands are raised to frame Dira's face. He saw the face that was engrossed in pensive in front of him.
Cup...
One kiss Axell gave Dira's forehead. "Which, with my words well! Our marriage is sacred. I know ... We did get married at a very young age. Even we are both still students. Our marriage is indeed impressed in a hurry, but we get married not because married by accident like the people out there. We are married because of the marriage that our parents have arranged. At first, we may not know each other. But you can see now, we can already accept each other's presence, even we love each other. As much as possible we should be able to try to keep our marriage. So I'm asking you, don't think too much about what other people will think about our marriage." Said Axell who gives understanding with his adult attitude.
"But I'm not really ready, brother." Reply Dira lirih.
"Udah, don't think about it! Everything's gonna be okay." Said Axell while rubbing Dira's hair slowly.
The girl nodded, "But don't tell them first, brother! I'm not really ready!"
"Yes ..." Answer Axell. Inevitably the man had to obey the will of the wife rather than the wife was angry. "... OK, if you change clothes! I'm gonna take a shower too. We're going to this cafe."
...***...
At 10:15 Axell and Dira arrived at the d'Axe Cafe. When just entering the cafe, Axell's eyes were immediately fixed on a table they used to occupy. Where the table already has Bastian, Verrel and also ... Nayla got there first.
The two of them walked closer with their hands linked to each other. Nayla who knew the arrival of the two was happy when she saw Dira who was walking closer. But the reaction was different when he saw the face of the man who was walking right next to Dira, Axell.
I don't know why now Nayla becomes so lazy when interacting with her classmates.
Because according to Nayla, since Dira dated Axell, the nature of Dira slowly began to change. And also the style of dating both are too intense. Don't forget Nayla who thinks both of them have lived one roof in Dira's apartment! Remembering the girl who had seen a lot of men's clothes in Dira's closet when she came to the apartment owned by her best friend. Nayla thinks Axell is the one behind Dira's changing attitude right now. Changes that lead to negativity.
"Here, Dir ... sit beside me!
