Clandestine
The Most Romantic Husband



Usually, every


having a problem with my life, I'm gonna go find Eli and tell him a long story


to him. But this time it didn't seem like the right time to call her and


start a vent session. In addition to being abroad, she is also


I have a problem with my ex-husband. As a friend, I have to try


understand position. Although I'm sure, even if I now press his name on


my phone screen, he will definitely answer it and be willing to be my listener.


I could have been


contacting Reza, that seemed impossible. Reza is such a man


frontal with what is unusual. Especially about the problem of ‘suami’


keeping secrets from his wife. The man will definitely poke with


kemayu and say ‘lo wedding really-not healthy Jul. Why all


man as her ex-husband Eli.’


Than should


hearing that sentence and another line of judgmental sentences, I


choosing to be alone on the balcony. Feeling the wind I thought I could


lowered my head because so many questions were in the


sana.


The night has


uphill. From the height I am now, I can see


the buildings in front of me with their flickering lights, and


that vehicle snaking down there. I looked up at the sky, hoping there was


there's a star spot up there that I can enjoy. However, free. I guess


the rays of the city lights and the lights of the vehicle had already defeated the beautiful light


from those stars.


“Jul, not yet


sleep?” a warm voice greeted me.


I looked up, and


finding Reinard already standing in the living room while taking off his suit


donned. I didn't realize his arrival, probably because I was daydreaming earlier.


“Iya.” My smile


thinly inflated. I really forced it actually. I tried desperately to


creating this smile, because right now my heart is completely incoherent. Quarters


it was my desire to find him with questions and anger,


but looking at his beautiful face, I stopped doing my intention.


“How


the work?” I walked towards him. “You leave from seven in the morning, and


home at ten o'clock.” I glanced at the fleeting hours before helping Reinard


removing the knot of the tie he wears.


“I'm sorry...” It


cupped both hands on my cheeks, then kissed my forehead gently. “I


hope this all can quickly end.”


I'm looking.


“Work as a doctor ends?” my frown. “Mana may.”


Reinards


smilingly. “Maybe...I can retire faster and become unemployed. What


you want to pay for my life if I become unemployed.”


I really am


I want to laugh at my husband's words. But the angry feeling still


it twisted my heart, making me lazy to do it.


“Actually,


even if you retire from the doctor you can still work another.”


“What work?”


“Runing


papa company.”


Reinard laughed


small-time. “As for Jul, I can't possibly accept that.”


“Why? No


interested?”


Reinard was silent


momentary. “It seems, I'm too greedy for that kind of thing.”


“But not


that dinner time you said you wanted us to have a child soon?” many confused.


“In order to accept the company right?”


Reinards


shake. “Not, I have two reasons jul.”


“What?”


“First, I


seeing you uncomfortable with talking about children. Second, because I am


really want to have a descent with you.”


I'm down.


My eyes glazed. Desire to be angry, to ask Reinard about


his dishonesty to me just disappeared. I don't know why, I believe.


Very confident in what he said. Funny no, my heart is easy


lulled with such sweet words.


“Jul, why diem?”


Reinard put a monologue on my head.


I didn't


budging. So embarrassed if Reinard knew I was about to cry with his words.


“Jul...” slowly.


Reinard pulled my chin. “You're crying?”


I haven't


answered.


“Heyyy...”.


Reinard rubbed a tear dripping down my cheek.


“I don't


crying.” I blinked my eyes, trying to hold back the remaining tears


the others did not fall. “I'm just a little melancholy.”


Reinard laughed, though,


“Julia..


stroking my hair softly. “I don't know what's going on with me right now.


I may not be a perfect person. But since I met you, I


to be someone else. I'm sorry if at the beginning of the wedding, I


choosing away. It's not because I don't want you Julia. It's just


back then I was afraid that what I did would hurt you.”


Not bad


or uncomfortable with Reinard's words, I cried sobbing.


I held my hand around her waist. Why would I believe


with what he said, a few minutes ago I asked


my heart was to ask him unequivocally about anything he had not told me.


But this moment, my thinking changed. I don't care if Reinard doesn't


I will tell you about some of his secrets. Because I believe, with what


it says.

Walking time


it was amazing between me and Reinard. We had wonderful days together.


Always start breakfast before going to work, or sometimes


Reinard came to my office to take me to lunch when he had time


leisurely. I was so happy with my marriage, let alone being a wife


from someone I'm sure he has the same feelings


with me.


If there is any


say a marriage that begins with an arranged marriage is boring and just


giving unhappiness, maybe I am the first one to protest


with that thing. Because it turns out when we start to get to know our partner with


slowly during the wedding, it was the most amazing thing.


“By login?”


a voice echoed from the front door of my study when I was busy with


some documents in front of me.


I raised


chins, speechless just before my smile finally expanded perfectly.


“Hey.


here?” without an offer, I immediately put down the pen for almost an hour


I grabbed hold of it, then slightly tidied up my midget hair and finally swung


a hasty move on this guest I didn't invite.


“I just want


take you to lunch.” Reinard lifts the lunchbox


carried it.


I covered


my mouth with my palm. “How do you know I haven't eaten?” me


pulled my husband's arm towards the sofa. We both sat side by side.


“I definitely know,


because you didn't open my message at all or pick up my phone.” Answer


Reinard while opening a lunch box that contains a complete chicken katsu


with two bottles of mineral water.


I glanced


my bag is hanging on the side of the table. Since morning I forgot to take it out


my phone from there. Especially in vibrate mode.


“Sorry.


even forgot to have hp.” My kikik. “I was very busy, not even aware


if it's time for lunch.”


“Eat him, I


bought you food when you got here.” Reinard unscrewed the water bottle


mineral then put it in front of me. I thought he would let me eat


by himself, but he took a spoonful of rice and fed it to me.


“If I bribe


look, you can eat faster—“


“Dan can


finish my work all.” I hugged Reinard for a moment, then


slipping to the work desk. Take some documents and of course my pen


earlier.


Reinards


looking at me displeased as I sat back beside her and held out


my documents are on the table.


“Not like this


I mean darling..” Pecaknya. “Your digestion will be disturbed if you eat


while working like this.”


I didn't


caring, because Reinard also still continued to bribe me despite my eventual focus


distracted by the papers in front of me. Sometimes I just look at


the direction when he said ‘aaaaak..’, asked me to open my mouth because


my mouth is empty. It is similar to a baby being suckled


her parents. Even some of my employees were passing by in front of my room


whistling teasingly at how romantic we are.


“Tomorrow our afternoon


go yuk....” take Reinard when closing the empty supply box.


“Where?”


I asked after sipping almost half a bottle of mineral water.


“Temen.ku


marriage.” The answer.


I stared


Reinard's serious.


“There's your ex


no?!”


Reinards


crotchet.
