Sad akutuu...

************

Since that morning Arina always came to Marvin's office. Just stop by or even bring lunch for Marvin. Sometimes they eat together. This has been happening for over a month.

Of course it was without the knowledge of Marinka.And Leo has a big hand for it so that everything is not revealed.

Not because Marvin likes it, but more to not want to make things worse. He doesn't want Marinka to be distracted. And he couldn't ban Arina either. The girl was grown up and very stubborn. Not like Arina he used to know. Perhaps because his current status made him bolder and could not be banned. She felt like she was a princess whose wishes had to be fulfilled.

Like this afternoon, Arina came back with a lot of lunch. All of Marvin's favorite food on the table. While Marvin repeatedly shook his head and massaged the base of his nose so dizzy thinking of ways that Arina does not always come.

"Hurry up, brother will be cold ". Arina said cheerfully like innocent at all to the husband of people.

" Arena.. You shouldn't have come again. Someone has prepared my lunch ". Marvin said from behind his desk.

" who? Not even your wife did. Let me do this for you ". Sweet talk.

" I hope this is the last time. I don't want all the officers here talking about you". Marvin begged a little.

"I don't promise, brother, or are you afraid your wife knows about my arrival almost every day? If you're afraid of her I can ask her permission right now ". Said Arina in a slightly threatening tone. Arina starts to approach Marvin's desk and resuscitates his body on the table so they can face each other.

" stop.... Don't fuckin. I don't want Marinka to misunderstand". Marvin started to frown. Arina could have done something bad.

"Isn't that good. If he finds out he can leave you and we can get married. Didn't you promise to make me happy? ". Arina takes the appointment.

" That was before you disappeared. Now it's different Arina. Don't bring. It's been very much different. Please understand ". Marvin's voice was held back.

" I understand, brother, I just want to free you from this untrue marriage. They are only selfish of themselves. Makes you seem to have to return their favor ".

Along with that last sentence the door opened. How surprised Marvin was to find his wife standing at the door.

" lady..Marinka's... ". Marvin. Marinka stared at the two people in front of her. According to him, the view he was seeing was very inappropriate.

Marvin was sitting in his chair, and there was a woman in front of him leaning against his desk.

"Ah how is sister-in-law, nice to meet you. I've wanted to see you for a long time, but Marvin's brother forbade me ". Arina then walked up to Marinka with her familiar style.

" Are you Arina? We finally meet ". Marinka said she tried to smile but looked stiff.

" That's right, I'm Arina. Good thing brother came, we can have lunch together, look I brought a lot of favorite spicy food Marvin. You can taste my cooking ". He said while pointing at the dish on the table between the sofa.

" ah.. You're good at cooking apparently... ". Said Marinka while looking at Marvin who had started to rile.

" Of course I've been here almost every day for a month, didn't Marvin tell you? ". Arina started to provoke.

" really? But he never told me..... ".

******

The three of them finished their meal awkwardly. Marinka felt like she wanted to spit out all the food if she didn't think it was so disrespectful. Whatever was happening in his heart at this moment he was trying to hold it all his might.

" Okay, excuse me, thank you for tasting my cooking ". Arina was sweet but full of pride in every word that came out of her mouth.

" I'm grateful, you've been bothered to pay attention to my husband, even for a month ". Marinka Sarcas.

" It doesn't matter, I don't mind if you don't mind either, I'll go ". Arina then walked over and disappeared behind the door.

Marvin breathed a long breath. It felt like he had trouble breathing a few minutes ago.

" Marinka's.. I can explain ".

" I've told you before, I don't like being lied to. Why are you lying? ". Marinka started to tear up.

" dear.. I don't mean to, believe me I've told him many times not to come but he's stubborn ". Obviously Marvin.

" I wanted to surprise you but why was I surprised ". Marinka laughed bitterly.

" What are you doing here? ". Marinka sharpens.

" Are you trustworthy after everything that happened, you deliberately lied to me this month Marvin ".

" I swear Marinka, believe me ". Marvin tries to reach Marinka's hand but Marinka brushes him off.

" I'm going home... ". Marinka then left. But when the door opened he collided with Leo there. Marinka stared intently at Leo with a teary face.

" You're the same.... ". Marinka said and left. Leo did not understand what was happening. But when he saw his chaotic superiors he came to the conclusion that something had happened here.

" What happened to Marinka? Did something happen to you guys? ". Ask Leo without being stale.

" He was here when Arina also came ". Answer Marvin quickly.

" God... Then what happened? What's the commotion? ". Ask Leo curiously.

" Not as long as Arina's here, but you know what happened after Arina came home. He suspected me of doing something ". Marvin said in frustration.

" What are you waiting for, go after ". Leo was upset.

*****

Marinka sits in a park seat, I don't know what she's confused about. His tears were not stopping to the point that he was tired of wiping it. He became the center of attention of people who passed by there.

When it was late in sadness suddenly there was someone who gave him a tissue. Marinka was surprised and turned to the tissue giver.

"Thomas...".

"What are you doing here? Do you have a problem? ". Ask Thomas worried.

" no... I'm doing fine. Thank you ". said Marinka while receiving the tissue.

" Don't lie you're not being nice Marinka ".

" Don't mind, what are you doing here? ".

" I'm with Emily, she's shopping at that mini-market ". He answered while pointing at the mini market at the end of the road. Marinka just nodded.

" Are you sick? You look thinner than the last time we met, you're so pale".

"I'm fine, thanks for worrying about me. Go back to Emily. Don't make him wait ". Marinka.

" Do you want me to get a cab home? ".

" No need, I brought the car, thank you Thomas ". Reject the delicate Marinka.

" But I'm afraid something happened, you really look pale. It's not good if you drive a marinka".

"Don't overdo Thomas. Go I'm fine ". Smiling words.

" Well then, I'll go, sorry I can't accompany you ". Regret Thomas.

" I get it, Come back to Emily, she must be looking for you ". Thomas nodded and left Marinka. Every now and then he looked back to make sure Marinka was okay, as if he could not bear to leave the woman alone. Marinka just smiled with her pale lips while waving until Thomas disappeared into the mini market.

Marinka's chest tightened. The tears came back. He used to dream a lot about being able to live with that man, but fate said something else. And now Marvin has started to lie to him.

Drtts..Drtts

A call from aunt mouli. Aunt mouli doesn't usually call.

"Yes aunt.. What's up ".

" Where are you? can you come home now?".

"Yes aunt.. I'm heading home. I'll be there ".

" Okay, I'm waiting for you. There's something important I have to say".
