LOVE BEHIND THE VEIL

50. Annoyingly

Gavino pushed open the door of his house and went inside, he had just returned from his business trip there. He sees Danira wiping the living room table, Gavino can guess if Danira also looks at him, Danira's agency seems to rush to finish his work, and he hast, Danira took a broom which he sent a sofa passed into the kitchen without welcoming or greeting Gavino's return.

Is he still mad at me. Bati wonders.

Basic sulking. Gavino muttered and went up to his room to rest.

In the kitchen, Danira began cooking simple dishes for dinner, only sour vegetables, sambal terasi, fried tempeh and salted fish. Danira deliberately cooks the food, because she does not want Gavino to eat with her. He was still angry and hurt over Gavino's slander on him yesterday. Danira was still not ready, if she had to sit down with Gavino, she was afraid of getting hurt from hearing her husband's words.

Finished cooking and spelling, Danira went into her room to clean up. Danira came out, after he finished the magrib prayer, but his steps stopped when he saw Gavino was sitting at the dining table quietly while playing his mobile phone in his hand. Danira stepped closer to the table, placed Khalisa on the baby's seat and pulled out a chair for him to sit on.

Danira begins to fill her plate, then eats in silence, with no intention of offering Gavino. Gavino took his eyes off the cell phone looking at Danira who was eating at the other end.

Hekhem...!!

Danira doesn't care about Deheman Gavino, he eats cuey, occasionally teasing Khalisa who eats baby snacks.

Hekhem..!!

Gavino sees Danira remains unresponsive, Gavino begins to get upset.

" What bigini is your way of behaving in front of your husband?". Gavino was upset.

" Don't you know how to talk, or have you turned mute huh?". Gavino spoke with emotion, but it did not make Danira open her voice. Danira is increasingly indifferent to Gavino, as if Gavino is not in the room. Danira was done with her meal, she took a drink and lifted her plate put in the sink dirty plate. Back shirt, lifting Khalisa's body and Khalisa's food bowl. Passed away leaving Gavino alone at the dinner table with a reddened face, not accepting because ignored by Danira.

" Damn it. How dare he ignore me like this".

" He thinks, who is he ?". His omel grumbled, then rode upstairs into his study. Almost 2 hours Gavino was in there, his stomach hurt from hunger, finally he went down again to the kitchen looking for something he could eat. Accidentally as she was descending, Danira was also out wanting to grab some drinking water, Danira remained in silent mode, ignoring Gavino's annoyed look at her. Gavino followed Danira from behind.

" Why are you ignoring me like this ?".

" Am I wronged you?". Gavino asked as if he had never done anything wrong to Danira. Danira turned to look at Gavino at a glance, then quickly poured the water in a glass.

Had his head been hit and amnesiac, he could have forgotten all his slander yesterday. The arrogant human. Inner Danira was upset in the face of Gavino's attitude.

I have to do something. Inner Gavino. Danira is about to leave Gavino again, but Gavino's voice stops him.

" Wait a minute...!!"

" Can you cook me something, I'm so hungry. Since I came back I haven't eaten anything". Pinta Gavino, still with a commanding tone.

Danira breathed a rough breath, glanced at Gavino sharply and then put the glass filled with water he held onto the table. Danira started cooking something fast.

Danira placed a bowl of complete boiled instant noodles in front of Gavino, and made a warm tea for Gavino. Although Danira's heart refused to prepare all that, her common sense still ruled to keep serving her husband well. Gavino saw the food in front of him scrunching his forehead.

" What is this ?".

" You prepared unhealthy food like this for me?".

" You want to kill me, right?". As if ungrateful, Gavino even accused Danira who is not-no. Danira growled not to play, it felt like she wanted to pucker her husband's lips and pull her husband's hair to shake the brains inside Gavino's head. Danira walks up to Gavino, his hand picks up the instant noodle bowl and wants to take it away, but again Gavino stops him.

" Heyy.want you take where my food is, come back here. You're so disrespectful, you've given it to me and now you're taking it again...!!!"

Danira glared at his eyes, it felt like he wanted to scream out loud.

What does this man want, did he himself say this food is not healthy for him, why now he blames me again for wanting to keep it. Danira muttered inwardly. Danira put the bowl again in front of Gavino, she could not linger in front of Gavino, Danira could be provoked emotions and say things that are not appropriate for her husband. Without saying anything Danira left Gavino.

Gavino breathed a rough breath, in fact He deliberately made Danira annoyed him, so that Danira would speak or argue with him as usual. Unfortunately, Gavino failed.

" Eemmm, it's good too". he said while feeling the heat in his mouth.

...****************...

Gavino had arrived at his office, he was sitting in his great chair with a face more sour than usual. How not, when he was about to leave this morning, Danira still silenced him. Even blatantly dodging Gavino. Now Gavino starts to feel something strange when Danira mediates it like this.

" Damn..!!".

" What's wrong with me, why do I get so upset when that woman ignores me".

" But isn't this good, the more she hates me the sooner she agrees to finish this marriage". Gavino muttered to himself like a sane person, knocking at the table sometimes yelling at himself.

" No.no.impossible ".

" It's impossible right, if I start to get interested in that woman!!!, this can't happen". Gavino starts to dodge his feelings.

" I just love Stevani, no other woman. She's the only woman I'd expect to be my wife". His words again convinced his own heart that began to waver.

" Yes no other woman, and no ".

Gavino was at war with his own feelings, suddenly the wet hoarse voice of a woman came directly to hug him.

" Honey ". Call Stevani friendly, when Gavino was surprised to see Stevani was already sitting in his lap.

" You're here ?". Gavino asked like Ling-Liung.

" What's wrong with you honey?, why are you such a confused person looking at me here?". Stevani asked looking at Gavino's face.

" No, I was thinking about work!!". Elak Gavino, there's no way he's telling Stevani that he's thinking about Danira, no, it can be messed up if Stevani finds out.

" Oohh...Good !! I thought you were thinking about that seductress".guess Stevani, Gavino was a little jolted at Stevani's guess.

" Of course not, why would I think of that woman". Gavino was convincing.

" Why is it ?".

" No...!! I'm just afraid, if you start to get attracted to that seductress, remembering you guys living together, she might tease you in a dirty way". Stevani speaks while playing Gavino's tie.

" I'll never be interested in him, believe me".

" But what if her face is beautiful and attractive. Are you sure you're not familiar with that woman's face?". Stevani asked, looking into Gavino's eyes for the honesty of her lover. Gavino was silent for a moment, honestly there was a great curiosity in Gavino's heart, every time he heard Danira's meek voice, it always attracted his curiosity. He wanted to open Danira's face cover, but his ego and his mind were still going well, always stopping his desire.

" No, I'm not curious at all, like I told you. She can't be as pretty as you". Gavino replied, looking the other way.

" Are you sure Honey ?".

" Of course, do you doubt me ?".

" How could I doubt you honey". Stevani answered, then hugged Gavino tightly.

I hope you're honest honey and I won't tolerate it if you start being tempted by that damn woman. Inner Stevani.
