Love Taboo

Chapter 36. Prejudice

Just like the previous days when Fahri invited Melia to stay at his family's villa. After arriving in the room, the door knob is turned and locked.

Melia immediately sat on the sofa at the very end while hugging her own knees. At the same time, Fahri can only release fatigue with long breaths.

"What are you thinking?" fahri asked as he stepped closer to his wife.

"Nothing" Melia said, refusing to speak.

"You don't trust me anymore?"

Fahri immediately grabbed Melia's head and sank her into the chest of her field. The girl was crying too.

"Listen, in time .. You will understand how I am and want to be. I'm just asking you to be patient" Fahri said, trying to calm down.

Melia looked up at his face for a moment. Although actually, doing it is something that he needs to avoid considering Fahri came back ferociously in recent days.

"Why are you still trying to help me? Isn't marriage just a game? Why don't you just let me get ruined with all the stains your sister has made?"

Melia looked up again and looked at Fahri without a blink. This time, he continued to stare sharply without blinking in a longer span of time than before. As if she was waiting for an answer from her husband.

"I still love you, still your husband, that's all."

Many times, Fahri glanced at that pale face. Observing the expression displayed in silence. A woman whom he married on condition of, was wiping her puffy eyes and kept flowing past the eye pads.

Of course still vividly remembered in the memory of Fahri, about his promise with Mr. Haris that he still had to keep forever.

"You want to come with me to see Damian?"

"What's wrong?" Melia's eyes were confused.

Didn't they just meet at the hospital a few hours ago? Then, what makes Fahri suddenly come back to see him?

"I wonder, how can you be together in a foreign place while I'm not there? By accident? You guys are just getting acquainted. Then why is it that close?"

Melia replied to her husband with a sharp look, then a short snort.

"Truly said most people. You're full of prejudices and shit, Fahri."

Fahri put on a smile. "So, do you still intend to ask for a divorce from me someday?"

Melia squeaks bored. "Something."

"Because I'm such a bitch, that it's a dilemma, right?" Fahri laughed a little.

Melia had a quick glance, then turned her face trying to show an angry expression and reluctant to talk. Then, suddenly, Fahri grabbed his wife's face and cupped her. For a moment, the two stared at each other. Until I don't know since when the two lips finally began to touch.

A few seconds later, Melia choked and ventured into pushing her husband's body. Silence enveloped both.

*****

Fahri was pecking himself in the reflection of the mirror light. So handsome and charming with a white shirt that he combined with a dark blue suit.

His tall body was large, making the expensive suit he was wearing imprinted perfectly on his body.

Before long, Melia had just come out of the walk in closet with a tosca-colored dress decorated with circular lace on some of the ends of the fabric. Makes it look elegant.

A thin smile was again what it seemed. Making the awakened Melia was being watched, ready to standby as if she wanted to escape.

"Relax, I won't make your face red from pounding when I approach, get angry, or make you fascinated with my face that looks charming."

After that, they chose not to talk to each other. Until the car glides casually, past the tall buildings of skyscrapers. Both of them seemed to be deliberately circling the streets of the city somehow for how many times.

"Why keep turning?" melia asked protesting while grunting in annoyance.

"Wait for the right time, Damian hasn't arrived at his destination yet."

After listening to his phone ring, then Fahri drove his car at high speed. Making Melia hold on immediately while closing her eyes after knowing her husband was driving while receiving a call from someone who was in the distance there.

"We have arrived" whispered Fahri.

Her thin lips were even felt when stuck to Melia's ears. Makes the girl goosebumps even reflexes touch her nape.

"What's up now?" Melia asked with a weak voice, as if tired and forced.

"Look at yourself later."

Now the two got out of the car, with his eyes sign Fahri gave the order to his wife to hold his hand.

Of course, even if she had to, Melia did it anyway. Some of the guests who came to the luxurious restaurant looked amazed at the two.

Damian Lucas is no exception. He immediately stood up and extended his hand welcoming Melia's arrival while slightly bowing his shoulders. It was as if the prince treated his woman like a royal queen.

Meanwhile, Fahri, chose to silence his best friend's excessive attitude even though he was actually upset. Paying attention by dragging the chair to be occupied by his wife might be better for him.

"Why not choose a table with a smaller number of chairs," Melia protested as she dropped herself on the chair prepared by her husband.

"Because this is no ordinary meeting, dear! Look at it later," said Fahri make Melia more curious until her forehead wrinkled.

Soon, a group of men from the class were approaching them. Damian immediately got up, followed by Fahri and Melia welcoming them.

"Fahri, what the fuck? The uprising? Look, aren't they some big investor who pulled their shares from your family's company?"

Melia stared intently, as if deliberately giving a signal if she did not like what Fahri did to her family.

"Withdrawing shares from my family doesn't mean pulling shares from me?"

Really am. Melia was shocked to hear that.

Fahri flaunts his annoying endearing smile again. Makes Melia guess. God fucking. Who is really that cruel in the family? Why so many games?

Betraying your family is not the same as betraying yourself? Melia had no idea what her husband and those people were really planning. He simply chose silence, rather than meddling and having to deal with Fahri which was too complicated for him to understand.

The problem is because Erlan alone is enough to make him dizzy seven circumference. What else plus meddling business that he did not even understand.

"Okay, good night and come all together at the gathering at my invitation. It's about our new business, without Erlan and my Papa all. The company will officially open next week, in the place we specify," Fahri said breaking the silence showing off a stunning opening.

Yep. Everyone also admitted that this man was superior to Erlan whose experience was still as small.

Shortly after, Damian's turn to introduce himself and give a speech. Who would have thought he immediately signed a mega project contract, as the interior designer of Fahri property.

"Wait, Damian. Didn't you agree to give Erlan a chance," protested one of the investors present.

"Not yet, I'm still reviewing whether he is able to export the rare interior that I ordered as a condition. If not, of course I'll cancel it" Damian said.

Melia stunned. Apparently, the outrageous Erlan was deliberately taught a lesson by her husband. Could it be that the young man had finally given up? Or just trying to take something else that Fahri has? I don't know, nobody knows.
