Handsome CEO Shadow Wife

Can I Fall in Love?

Dhatu came out of the bathroom and saw that Dirga was well dressed. The man smiled at her, acting as if nothing had happened between them before. The innocent smile that the man showed off, for some reason even made Dhatu's heart ache.

"Change, Tu. Come on, we're having dinner!"

Dhatu smiled clumsyly and nodded slowly. Apparently, the kiss between them was just a meeting, meaning nothing. Perhaps, to the man it was just like a kiss on the cheek. He who hopes too much, to be unable to eliminate the disappointment that penetrates the heart. Only he thought the kiss between them meant something. True said people, too much hope, will make disappointment present and envelop the heart.

"Where do you eat?" Dhatu walked towards the suitcase and chose a proper outfit. However, he did not want to look like a maid while walking with a man as handsome as Dirga.

Dhatu will learn to behave as if nothing happened between them, he will try to match his thoughts with the man. Yeah, they're just playing house-to-house, there's no need to put feelings into that game. Let's just say they are actors and actresses who are playing a role in a drama. In the end, there was only a charade between them.

"Restaurant hotel. I booked a place near the beach. We should enjoy this holiday while we can. I don't know when, we can take another vacation, right?" the question was asked by Dirga for himself.

Perhaps, after this trip, they would return like two strangers. As long as he can, he wants to enjoy the togetherness that will soon end once they return to Jakarta. Back to the reality where there was never a connection between them. It is better to be stuck in another city and learn to accept reality when you return.

Dhatu smiled faintly, nodding, agreeing with Dirga's words just now. Yeah, I don't know when they'll be on vacation together again. After the journey was over, then the illusion that they had built together would soon be gone.

"I changed for a while" Dhatu said, bringing clothes and entering the bathroom.

Minutes by minutes have passed. Dhatu comes out of the bathroom and Dirga freezes for a moment to see Dhatu who already looks beautiful with a classic black dress with no motif combined with gold earrings and necklaces. Natural makeup on his face, making the woman look beautiful and also more fresh. Dirga unknowingly opened his mouth, not believing Dhatu could dress up like now.

Dhatu who was stared at in such a way by Dirga became misbehaved. He smiled awkwardly, then tucked the child's hair behind his ear.

"I look weird, don't I?"

Quickly Dirga shook his head. "No, how come." he reached out to Dhatu, "we're leaving now?"

Dhatu nodded, then received Dirga's hand. For a moment he wanted to get caught up in the encounter between them. Think of her as Cinderella who can enjoy the dance with the prince until midnight, all the wonders of her life will end once they return to Jakarta. Therefore, Dhatu wants to become a selfish Cinderella and enjoy a short moment between them.

Both go hand in hand. Dhatu no longer has to walk behind and is invisible. Now, the man let her walk by his side and all this was more than enough for Dhatu. He is happy and afraid of being cursed, if he wants more. Let it be, only for a while to feel the companion of the man, rather than not at all.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the restaurant. A waiter led them to the beach through the side door of the restaurant. There, just under a coconut tree not far from the beach, a pair of chairs flanking a round table had been filled with various foods. Small glasses of lighted candles, deliberately heart-shaped and arranged near the table. It looks beautiful and Dhatu is like being in a fairyland. Being treated in such a way made his heart filled with happiness. He never thought, if Dirga would present a romantic atmosphere for himself who was a nobody for the man.

"You likey?" whispered Dirga, disperse the reverie of Dhatu who stood in his place when he saw the scene before his eyes.

Dirga knitted both eyebrows, then chuckled. "Kok, why? You're my wife and I should've given you something like this."

Dirga's words made Dhatu's heart stop beating for a matter of seconds, then beat erratically. Can he trust and accept all this pseudo beauty? Is it true that the man did it only because Dirga realized the position of Dhatu who is none other than his wife?

Don't want to keep Dhatu wondering. Dirga linked their fingers, smiled, and led Dhatu walking towards the table that had been prepared for them. Dirga pulled a chair, let Dhatu sit, then he took his place in front of the woman.

The waitress, opening one by one the prepared food, allowed the two to dine, then left them both.

"Do you like the food choices?"

Dhatu stared at the table and nodded. "Like the honorable Mr. Dirga."

Dirga hissing. "You're ruining the mood, Tu."

Dhatu chuckled slowly. "It's a pleasure, Mom."

Dirga clasped Dhatu's hand on the table. His heart rippled warmly and his heart pounded so fast that he was unable to interpret the taste.

"I'm sorry for all this time, I've been troubling you. During this week, I want to treat you well. As it should."

Just a week? Then, after that, they will return to how they were? Tanya haunts Dhatu, but his lips are too stiff, so unable to raise a question.

"Is all this because of the kiss?" Dhatu smiled softly, "you don't have to do all this because there is no mistake that must be forgiven." Dhatu lowered his head, "just ... I ...."

Dhatu can't be honest. If he feels foreign turmoil that makes him want the man, but can not continue because there is no love between them. The man is not entirely his. Their relationship was just meaningless words on the marriage book, meaningless. There is another woman in a man's heart who should only think of him, as he is in his heart and mind.

Dirga tightened his hand, making Dhatu turn his head. The man's smile was hypnotic. "I'm not going to feel guilty about what should have happened between us. Not because of that kiss, Tu. It's just ...." He was suddenly nervous, never once did he have trouble speaking in front of someone.

"My heart feels weird when I'm with you and I want to figure out what this feeling means. Can I learn it first?"

Dhatu fell silent, not understanding what the man meant. Does the heart feel strange? What did he feel like to that man?
