Love, Treasure And Erlita

Chapter 13

That morning Nafan deliberately came late to be able to leave with Jihan. Jihan was shocked to see the change in Nafan's attitude that was so drastic. And he was very happy with it all.

Jihan takes Nafan to her new office and goes to the photo shoot.

“How long do you go home? Let me pick you up.”

“Ngga for brother. I can go home by taxi online.”

“Ngga papa again, Fan. I'm sincere. You text me when it's time to go home, right? Bye!”

And in the afternoon Jihan actually came to pick Nafan up. Although Nafan is quite sultry with the accusations of people who think he is having an affair with another woman, Nafan remains on his intention to deliberately get closer to Jihan. The streets are so jammed, so Nafan invites Jihan to stop for dinner first. Jihan accepts happily and insists on treating Nafan in return for wanting to be with him that day.

***

It's getting late but Nafan hasn't come home yet. Erlita who has difficulty doing the task intends to call Nafan and ask him to go home immediately and help her with the task as usual. Not yet had he dialed Nafan's phone number, a picture message entered Erlita's phone.

A picture showing Jihan taking a photo with Nafan putting on his handsome face and a photo showing Nafan's sturdy and handsome body from behind staring at the monument from behind the fence, both hands are in her pants pocket. I don't know why the photo looks so cool. Erlita subconsciously pressed the favorite button in her gallery.

Now he finds out that Nafan is dating Jihan. He couldn't call Nafan and force her to come home in the middle of a date, as it was clearly a violation of privacy. Erlita tried her hardest to hold back.He still tried to focus on being able to complete his task alone. But vain.

As hard as he tried, his mind could not focus. His concentration broke and his chest felt hot as if it was on fire. He decided to take a bottle of cold drink in the refrigerator and sip it until it was gone.

***

When he came home, Nafan saw Erlita's room was very messy. Bottles of mineral water and tissue splattered everywhere. The leptop was still lit up and the book was still in her hands but Erlita was on her stomach and asleep.

Patiently Nafan cleaned up the waste of bottles of drinks and tissues that were scattered, he then took a shower and changed clothes. After that, he confirmed Erlita's sleeping position and completed a task that was not even half done by Erlita. He also tidied up Erlita's dresser and stuffed things into the drawer.

When he opened the drawer, he saw the pile of envelopes he always gave to Erlita every month, still neatly arranged as if never touched or used in the slightest.

The next morning, when she woke up, Erlita had seen her room neatly arranged, her leptop and her book were neatly arranged on the table. He immediately checked his task and it turned out that Nafan had completed it well. Although upset and wanting to get angry for no reason, now he chose to let Nafan because he had helped Erlita finish her college assignments.

***

Days passed, and Nafan looked closer and closer to Jihan. He does not even have time to accompany Erlita to the mall during holidays, or just accompany Erlita hanging out in the cafe at night. All Nafan's time is up to take care of Jihan. He even diligently prepared sandwiches and fruit for breakfast and supplies of Jihan, but not once Erlita got the same treatment.

I don't know why he was upset. He always got what he wanted and hated when someone tried to take his own. That's what he feels now. He likened Nafan to his other possessions. Not wanting to be owned by someone else. So he decided that from today he would take back his possessions.

***

After college, Erlita accidentally stopped by Nafan's office. He brought a lot of food for Nafan and his friends and did not forget a fancy hand for his boss. He wanted everyone to know that he was Nafan's wife, not Jihan who diligently drove and picked him up.

As if he did not care about the words of Nafan, he actually distributed all the food to Nafan's friends with full attention and familiarity.

“Nafan is lucky to have a wife as good and beautiful as you.” Praise one of Nafan's office friends.

“You're overreacting. I'm doing this as an apology for not having the time to invite you all to our wedding. The time was very tight so we did not have time to spread the invitation. But next time I'd like to invite you all home. We have a small party to be more familiar.”

Breath was upset at Erlita's arbitrary actions that day. He then dragged his wife out to speak with four eyes.

“Can you explain, what is the meaning of all this? Isn't this part of the privacy violation?”

“But, what's wrong? I just want to get to know them and hope to become more familiar.”

“For what?”

“That –“ is actually Erlita herself is also not sure what it is for. “Because I am a civilized noble and know manners. It is fitting that I respect your boss and treat my husband's friends well.” Suddenly Erlita said politely and formally.

“Suy? You talk like you know what you're talking about. Though you know absolutely nothing.”

Erlita did not know why Nafan was even angry like that. Not that he should feel happy and grateful because in the midst of his busy life, Erlita wanted to take the time to stop by his office and treat his friends well.

***

It had been almost two hours Erlita waited for Nafan in the lobby. He just knew like that tired and bored waiting. He suddenly imagined how Nafan could and would wait for him in the parking lot for up to five hours. There was a hint of guilt tucked into his heart. But that's part of the punishment for marrying him. So Erlita need not feel guilty about such things.

“You are still here.” Erlita was relieved that Nafan had finally finished as well. He was tired of waiting.

He handed the keys to Nafan. “Yuk home!”

“Sorry, but I have an appointment with Jihan. So you better go home alone.” Nafan returned the car keys and then immediately got into the car Jihan who had just arrived.

Not wanting to cause rumors about Nafan, Erlita rushed into her car and followed Jihan's car from behind.

“That's Lita?” tanya Jihan looks at Erlita's car from the rearview mirror.

Nafan. “Can take me somewhere for a minute?”

Jihan turned her car in a fork while the way home should have been straight. Erlita wonders where they're going, but following them will be accused of violating Nafan's privacy again. So he decided to go straight and go straight home.
