I don't know with what courage Kayla still often appears in Hanen's company. This woman has an amazing aura. Among the existences that could have been considered as the spark between me and Hanen as husband and wife, she could still act gracefully with her chin raised.


Often I notice the steps and curves of his body that look perfect. My heart shrinks looking at that. Hanen obviously hates me. He could not stay with that woman. That must have been frustrating.


I wish we couldn't meet face to face. We don't have to meet. But destiny says differently. We both met at the same time. I saw Kayla coming out of the elevator with Han.


My eyeballs kept looking at the woman. As if she had no guilt for me, Kayla still behaved normally. Maybe she learned from Hanen's sister who often ignored me. He felt no need to duck because let's just say that today he was caught off guard meeting me with Han, who is none other than my husband.


Then they both came out of the elevator box. Passed me by without further ado. Legs stopped. Don't want to get in the elevator cube and go home. Not crying. I just want to send a message.


"You still have a job, Han?" ask me while turning my body. I saw Han's steps stop. Kayla follows. Then they both turned their bodies to face me.


"No. But I still have to." Han glanced towards the woman beside him. That must be business with this woman. "Why ask? You want to come home with me again?"


"No. Mama wants us to attend the brother's wedding. Didn't he tell you?" Han's eyebrows shriveled. He's looking at the phone screen. Checking something.


"No."


"I mean I should tell you. He's waiting for us both." I lift my chin when I say it. I want that woman to know that we need both tonight. It could not be avoided because Han's own parents were asking.


There was a soft grunt from the man's lips. Kayla turned to Han and smiled.


"We can talk for a moment before the event Han ...," he said as he touched Han's arm. I threw away my face. What does this woman think? He touched a man in front of his wife.


"Yes. Do it quickly if you still want to both. Then go home and do your duty as your mother's son" I said firmly and pointed. I saw the reaction of the two of them being surprised to hear my words. Yep. I've been quiet enough with the behavior of those who never tried to hide. "I'm home and waiting for you at home." I turned my body and faced the elevator cube. Press the button and wait for the elevator door to open for a few seconds.


"Don't forget, Han. This is your mother's request. Not me" I said before the door closed.


"Why did she start acting so brave? I think you can already make him shut up because he loves you so much and can't do anything about it, Han ..." Kayla reprimands.


"I'm sure he loves me a lot, Kay. That's what kept him alive even though I was always with you, blatantly," Han said.


Love is scary. The proof, Han is brave and able to leave the first night with his wife Zia, to prefer to be with Kayla.

I was stuck in the room alone. It's been 8 and a half hours, Han hasn't shown up yet. Rara and Gara I told you. It was likely that the two of them would have already left earlier.


I looked at the phone screen. There was no message from Han. It seems like the man ignored my message. I sighed tired. I took my foot out of the room. Still with a simple party dress I walked down to the first floor. There were footsteps from the front.


But my guess is wrong. That's not Han. It's Gara. My eyes were round to see him appear. I turned my feet towards the middle room. My body that was standing was preparing to welcome while scypping, directly veering and sitting on the sofa.


I don't want to cross paths with him. I tried to lock myself in the room until Han arrived. But actually now we are together.


I hope he ignores me sitting back. And immediately finished his business that got him back from my brother-in-law's party.


"You there?" reproofing. I closed my eyes at a glance. What's wrong with her? Why reprimand me?


"Yes," I replied, not caring. Still looking at the cosmetic magazine in my hand.


"It looks like Han won't take you to the party. Come on, I'll take you there."


"no need. Han will probably come even if it's too late" I said as if being a foolish woman. Though I also realized that Han would not show up. She must have forgotten or even cared nothing about my mother's message.


"Don't be stiff, Zia. I came so that you could still be called a good mother's daughter-in-law. If you're still interested in becoming Han's wife of course."


"What do you mean?" I don't like it. I see him. The magazine I was holding was no longer interesting.


"You're still hanging on even though Han's with Kayla. That proves that you still want to be the daughter-in-law of the Wise family right?"


It's like it's degrading me. "Did I seem to just want the status of being a member of the Wise family rather than wanting a marriage in the name of love?" I looked at this guy seriously. I put the magazine on the table.


"No. I just saw you still trying no problem even though Han hurt you repeatedly. You want to look okay in front of everyone."


The words made me swallow. There was nothing wrong with her guess, but somehow it made me want to cry. After successfully swallowing the saliva and holding back the cry, I looked up again.


"You're not good at reading someone's mind. You're wrong about me" I say.


"Can be. Because I found something else about Zia that I didn't know. You are different." I don't know what Gara meant. But it definitely made me look away because her eyes were looking at me. I'll take another magazine on the table.


Phone's ringing. Turns out it was mine. There's mom Han's name there. The magazine was neglected again.


"Yes, Ma."


"Zia ... Why hasn't he arrived yet? Mama doesn't feel good with her brother. Hurry up now, because it's not too late."


"B-well, Ma." He was waiting for my arrival. I let out a breath. "I'm coming with you" I said in the end. Just nod and walk out. I was ready to follow him from behind.


Throughout our journey, we are still surrounded by silence. Of course I try to avoid any conversation. I'm afraid this man will talk to me about his feelings for me that night.


Arriving at the sister's party building, he looked surprised and happy to see me coming. He was intentionally waiting at the door.


"Eh, why the same Gara? Where's Han?" he asked her to find her first son. Wonder because I just came with Gara.


"Han can't come. He still has a job" I said, giving an excuse.


"really? Why is she so enthusiastic about working when she has to show up ...," my mother regretted. His face looks disappointed. "He should have stopped working first in honor of the brother who had invited." Mama grumbling. I just grimaced. "Not anything. Let's take Mama inside. Because they also go inside. Mama thought you didn't show up either, babe ... Apparently accompanying your brother. Thank you ..." Mama gently stroked Gara's arm while guiding me beside her.
