Clandestine

Night Without you

‘Jul,

tonight I'm overtime’

Such

finally, right at ten o'clock in the evening a brief message from Reinard appeared on the

my cellphone screen.

I

sighs softly. I am always disappointed whenever I am not home

like these. Seraa ignored, seemed unimportant.

Nightly

it's gone, and I haven't been able to close my eyes. What's again? Must be because

four cups of coffee that I drank this afternoon. I think for the next week

the effect of this caffeine has not disappeared from my body.

Since

all I did was just go around in circles in bed. Trying to close

eyes, but even though I tried many times still failed. Not my eyes

heavy, just the opposite.

Because

feeling like I'm just going through this night with my eyes closed, I finally

I'm going to call Reza.

“Za, ,

you have an event?”

“Why

granddad? I'm Free, sexy and single!”

“Hust!

Don't mention the title of the song Bang Suju with the mouth lemes lo it! Poor thing

kang Siwon and his friends!”

“Eh

Jul, you call me who really wants to do it? Make males!” protestations

Reza's upset.

I

buckled. Indeed the level of grumpy Reza was already beyond average. He's human

the worst I've ever met so far.

“Exit

yok!”

“Hah!

I'm not wrong with this?”

“Neg.

During the ears lo not much dirt anyway I feel safe-safe aja.”

“Mau

I'm jambak Jul?” loud shouting.

I

back snapped.

“Gue

bosen at home alone Rez.”

“Lha

prince charming you where?” ask Reza later. “Tumben-tumbenan ngajak exit

malem. I thought you were kesambet.”

“Serious.

I'm lonely.”

“Lah,

can you come out with your husband Jul? Usually, married women are not

can be malem. Pa-ma-li!”

“Kayaks

my mom deh.” Decakku. “Si doi again overtime. I'm home alone. Notwithstanding

can sleep.”

“Yaudaaah.

where now? I am also bosen. Since Eli was lost to the earth, alive

I'm also a home child just like him.”

I

small giggles. Suddenly missed Eli too. How is the woman at

London now? Is it okay? He also found calm

inner there, far from Doni and his myriad life problems.

“Jul.

diem aja?” reza's voice obscured the monologue in my head.

“Eh...iya...em..

to ordinary place yok.” The usual place I mean is a small bar

on the edge of town. The bar belonged to one of Reza's friends. The place is small, though,

but it is quite convenient to gather with friends and spend the night.

“Okay.

I'll wait there ya.”

Subsequent to

turning off the phone, I immediately changed clothes. After enough with the makeup

up, I'll grab the car keys and leave the house.

In order to

this time, I didn't want to ask my husband for permission.

****

“Halo..

once you guys didn't visit?” Arnold, the bartender and the bar owner

I greet you when I just arrive.

I

smiling as I put my handbag on the table. Next to me, Reza

already looks engrossed with his martini.

“Yes.aku.

busy.” I was sitting on a chair right next to Reza.

“Busy

so newlyweds!” timpal Reza fast.

“Wooow...really?”

Arnold's eyes widened. “Happy Julia!”

I

just nod. It seems like the congratulations on the wedding are late because

when I heard it, I was not as enthusiastic as before.

“So, ,

what would you like to drink?” ask Arnold then.

“Virgin

Mojito.”

“Yailah

Jul.gue thinks I'm here for alcohol. Don't know...”decak Reza.

I

groaned in annoyance, while Arnold laughed. The man walked up to me and

Reza, then take the ingredients to make a glass of Virgin Mojito.

“Lo

can you take me home drunk?!” I said I looked at Reza fiercely.

“Yes

enggak!”

“Makanya,

I have to keep my sanity until morning.”

Reza

he did not answer, because his eyes were now fixed on the skill of the hand

Arnold concocted Virgin Mojito. A few minutes later, a drink

fresh is in front of me.

“Congratulations

enjoy cantiik...” Arnold took me in before finally making his way to the customer

the other.

“Jul,

you have a problem with Reinard?” reza asked after Arnold was not among them

our. I know that Reza is guarding my privacy so don't say

anything when Arnold was still among us.

“Neg

hell...” I answered while sipping my drink.

“Ngak

bohooong.we have been in office for many years. Lo kebelet poop

aja I know facial expression lo Jul.”

“Hush!

Slut!” delikku's.

“Yes

so I asked you. Don't shut up. What's the problem?!”

I

momentarily silent. Considering whether it is necessary to say the problem of the house

my ladder to Reza. While Reza is a type of man who is very anti-men

when he saw his best friend not so get happiness from

her partner. Yeah, like Reza's antithesis to Doni who hurt Eli.

“According

lo, fair not in a household relationship, a couple

hiding something from his partner?” I looked at Reza.

“Emm….

Depends on Jul.” he replied after downing his drink.

“int

lo?”

“Yes

depends on how it ends, if the secret can make a relationship

fine.. why not?” Reza shrugged his shoulders. Tumben this man spoke

nonjudgmental. Usually he will definitely scream ‘apa husband lo nyakitin lo

Jul?!’

“So

according to you, it's okay to have a secret in a relationship. Origin is not

hurt?”

“Ya.

so.”

“Arrgh!”

I groaned in annoyance. “I don't agree with lo.” Ketus.

“The name of the marriage relationship should not be any secret at all.”

“Why?”

Reza raised her eyebrows. “Try you thinkin deh Jul. if in the past, husband

lo it's a player.” Reza looked at me seriously. “If only yes..

Just supposing.” He repeated his words when I was just about to

protesting against not accepting when my husband was called a player by this man.

“Iyaa...iyaa..”.

i'm mangut-mangut.

Reza

sliding glass. “Naaah..

regardless of the name of the woman, one night stand or even her date

pregnant. So, your husband also needs to reveal the dark secrets of his past

with those women the same? If the ending is the past, he will

nyakiki lo, even though at this time his love really made lo?”

I

no swearing.

“Lha

the story will be different Jul, if your husband is still related to the time

it was when he was the same. For example, it seems that he is still in touch

the same women she's been sleeping with.”

In spite of

sounding cornered me, Reza's words did have a point. Maybe if we arrive

now that Reinard hasn't explained his secret to me, he just hasn't

wanted to hurt me and make my relationship with him worse. But honestly,

I am the kind of woman who accepts whatever my husband tells me,

even though it was something painful.

“So

how, you feel lied to by your husband?” Reza was poking at me and me

answer with a soft nod.

Reza

breathe out slowly. “Yes that's how he likes to marry someone who

I don't know Jul very well. Yes you should accept.”

I

ducked. “Gue confused Rez. Here I want to be the most beautiful woman

understand him, but on the other hand I also do not want to force him to reveal

something he does not want to say the same I.”

“Yes

hence you are patient.”

“Lo

think I'm impatient?!” my protest was upset while gulping down the rest of my virgin mojitoku.

Reza

buckled.
