Dhatu wakes up in Dirga's arms. I don't know since when, the man hugged her tightly like now. Dhatu's body froze, subconsciously holding his breath for a few seconds. He did not dare to squirm, afraid that the man woke up because he moved it. In silence Dhatu noticed the handsome face before him. Thick messy eyebrows that almost fused, nose pointed, and also thin lips. It was only fitting that all the women in his office were interested in the man, his appearance was almost perfect. Moreover, the man has an athletic body that he gets hard-earned by going to the gym after work.
Although they rarely spoke and met, Dhatu learned of Dirga's habits by observing the man in silence. Dirga often put the bag he brought to the gym at the dinner table, then Dhatu will clean all his luggage and fill the bag back with clean clothes Dirga. The man did not say the terms of love and Dhatu never expected it. She just does her job as a wife.
Dhatu immediately closed his eyes as soon as Dirga moved his body. Dhatu's heart pounded shamelessly, he shouldn't feel like this. Perhaps the feeling was present because he was too anxious. I don't know, what Dhatu knows, he suddenly had trouble breathing. He cursed himself in the heart, he should have put a roll between them so that an accident like this did not happen.
A few minutes later Dhatu could no longer feel the man's hand on his body, slowly he opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the man had returned to his back like last night. Dhatu slowly got off the bed. He had to prepare breakfast and clean the house. Indeed, Dirga wanted to hire a domestic assistant, but Dhatu refused because he was still able to do everything even though he worked. It was just the clothes that he entrusted to the nearest laundry. He did not have time, but if he had time he would do it alone.
Dhatu washes his face and brushes his teeth, then immediately goes downstairs. He cooked the village fried rice complete with beef-eye eggs and also fried chicken for their breakfast this morning. After finishing the kitchen work, Dhatu cleaned the entire house. He felt lucky because he had been doing homework since childhood, to get used to it. Indeed, the house he now occupies is too big, so he takes longer to complete his work.
Dhatu returns to the room and finds Dirga who already looks neat in her work clothes. Dhatu bowed as he passed Dirga.
"Hey .." call Dirga as usual.
Dhatu stopped the steps, but did not turn the body. He waited silently for the words that Dirga wanted to say. Feeling that the man did not continue his words, Dhatu resumed his steps, but Dirga withdrew his hand and turned his body towards the man.
"I want to talk to you."
"Oh .. I thought, who are you talking to. I don't think my name is called."
Dirga clucked. "I hope, this week, we can work together well."
Dhatu nodded in agreement. "I want to cooperate with you, as long as you follow my terms."
"Condition?" the man frowned, "why should there be a condition? It's for your good, too."
Dhatu turned his eyes puffed, then turned his body. When he was about to continue his steps, Dirga again prevented him. The man flipped Dhatu's body towards him and stared intently at the woman.
"Don't bring another woman into this house. I'm not jealous, if that's what you're afraid of." Dhatu challenged the eyes of the man before him, "i just don't want to suddenly have our family come and see the awkward situation" he continued.
To be honest, not just afraid if there is a family watching, but Dhatu does not like what he saw yesterday. Bathinnya feel disturbed and honor as a woman as if trampled. Nothing binds them except a fake marriage. However, they should not hurt each other by showing off intimacy with others. Envy may exist, given her superior status to the other woman, but is treated with unworthiness.
"You see what happened yesterday? You came home early to catch me?"
Dhatu. "Why do I deliberately see things I don't like. Can't you book a hotel and have to do it at home?" Dhatu looked at Dirga researching, "when, you're a CEO, it's okay to take out a few pieces of money to your satisfaction."
Dirga clutched Dhatu's wrists firmly, looked at him in anger, and ignored Dhatu who grimaced in pain due to the grip of his hand.
"Where is not a cheap woman like you think. He's my lover and you're the one who broke our relationship. You are cheap and do not know yourself!" Dirga pointed at Dhatu with her index finger, the woman's chest tightened again.
"Oh .. Do you think you can justify your relationship when you hold my status as my husband?" Dhatu smiled slanted, "how could I not be mistaken, if I saw a woman who was willing to be invited to make out with a man who was married?"
Dirga tightened her hand grip. "Sick, take me off!" Dhatu wriggled, trying to let go of the man's grasp. Dirga took off Dhatu's rough hand, then cornered the woman's body on the wall behind his back.
"Once again you say Kana like that. I'll make you regret what you said."
There was so much sincerity inside the man's bead in front of him, making Dhatu's body tremble in fear. He should not have defended another woman other than his own wife. If indeed they are lovers, then what is the relationship between Dhatu and Dirga? If the status of the woman is higher than that of a legal wife, then why would the man agree to marry her? Why not refuse from the beginning so that no heart is hurt?
"If you love her so much, why are you stuck in this marriage with me?" Dhatu stared into Dirga's bead of eyes, trying to find an answer that troubled him. If you love each other, why let go and re-establish the relationship behind it?
"All because of your presence. The sooner we end this ridiculous marriage, the sooner Kana and I will be happy." Angga hardened his jaw, "you already know about Cana. I hope you know your position. Just a shadow and he's the main one. Do your job well by completing my cipher."
Dirga looked at Dhatu sharply, before walking away leaving the woman back in a wound that could not possibly dry up. Dhatu smiled miris staring at Dirga's back that was getting away. Without the man repeating his status. He knows right, if at any time there is never any of us among them. He realized, if not he should prevent love between a pair of humans. Moreover, he who had become the third person among the relationships that had been established before his presence. But ... is it wrong to ask for a little to be appreciated?
