MARRIAGE ALLIANCE

protection Arnold

The thunderous sound of lightning woke Velicia's sleep. Heavy rain that flushed since the beginning of the night has not subsided. The woman squirmed her body. The clock now shows at seven in the morning.

Velicia lazily walked towards the bathroom to finish her ritual. Fifteen minutes out of the bathroom. His forehead creased as he looked at his increasingly thin face. 

Velicia stared at her innocent body in the mirror, her synthetic body no longer existed. The woman smiled faintly, there was no more sex body that made Arnold so addicted to it. He picked up a red dress, now he looked at his appearance in the mirror. His long hair was tied up like a ponytail. This time the choice is only natural makeup and pink lipstick.

Velicia chuckled at her own appearance, the woman felt like she was still a high schooler. This time it was different, not for anyone. She felt calmer than her usual thick makeup.

Velicia came down the stairs at the sight of the waiter who used to always take care of her. The middle-aged woman did not want to stop working because she considered herself to be her family.

"For Miss," said Bik Imah as soon as she saw Velicia coming down the stairs.

"After, how's Bik?" velicia asked with a smile looking at the woman who was always there for her.

"I'm still agile, like Non," he replied while following Velicia's style of walking.

Velicia chuckled at Bik Imah's behavior which always made her smile. He had his own breakfast at the moment, no one was accompanying him. After finishing breakfast he stared at the photo of his parents who seemed to smile at him.

"Mama, I miss you" said Velicia.

Her tears wet her cheeks again, as she missed that warm embrace. He wiped his tears because he did not want to look crybaby by the waiter who was doing his duties.

While relaxing, his phone rang, an unknown number. I hesitated to lift it. However, as he was also curious finally picked up his phone .

"Hello," said Velicia.

"Cia, you're okay, right?" ask Merry.

"I'm good, what time are you home?" velicia asked because she knew her best friend had to report for two weeks.

"I'm going home, we'll meet at the cafe near the office!" said Merry spirit.

"You're meeting up or you're going to poke, hem!" velicia.

Merry's laughter sounded so loud that Velicia had to keep her phone away. The two agreed that half an hour would arrive at the cafe with Arista's group office. Phone connection disconnected. Before leaving he did not forget to take the pain medication to be careful later.

Velicia came out of the room, she smiled as she went down the stairs while humming melodiously, the woman longed for her teenage years that were snatched away from having to become a Ceo when she was so young.

"Where are you going, Non?" ask Bik Imah who saw Nonanya with a different look.

"You go to the office, Bik," Merry replied with a smile.

The middle-aged woman smiled. Velicia went straight into her red sports car. Today he wants to breathe free air like a woman of his age, although the reality is very different.

The car drove at a moderate speed, while on the way he listened to a song called disable my memory belongs to one of the bands. The woman smiled bitterly as she wanted to forget her ex-husband down to his roots.

After traveling for thirty minutes Velicia arrived at the cafeteria in front of her office. He used to be so proud to go there. Now the woman does not want to because she misses her freedom.

Velicia walked leisurely, she looked around seeing Merry waving her hand at him.

"Well, this is the CEO with a different look," teased Merry.

Velicia just chuckled and said." Been long?"

"Ah, not just arrived" replied Merry.

"You're always the best" praised Velicia.

"Sure dong," said Merry as he chuckled. 

Without both of them realizing that someone had been watching the two with a sad look, the man was none other than Arnold who was having lunch with Viona. Viona who feels ignored by her lover looks annoyed. The woman followed Arnold's gaze.

Viona's face looks so angry when she sees Velicia smiling so happily, especially now that Arnold's ex-wife looks prettier with her natural appearance.

Viona stands up, the woman immediately takes a drink to put Velicia to shame, but unfortunately her intentions are thwarted by Arnold because the man becomes a shield for his ex-wife. The red juice is now about his shirt.

Velicia and Merry looked so shocked by what happened, Arnold stared intently at Viona, he turned his back to his ex-wife and asked." You all right?"

Velicia simply nodded, as if to say that she was fine. Arnold felt his ex-wife was okay to walk out of the restaurant and get in her car.

Viona looked so angry, she wanted so badly to embarrass the woman in front of her right now, but the moment Merry stood looking at her intently made the woman just walk away.

"Cia, is that Arnold?" ask Merry.

Velicia just smiled, she did not know that there were two lovers in the same cafe. The mood had gone bad now, that cheerful smile had already disappeared upon seeing the watering scene earlier.

"Hi, what are you thinking?" ask Merry.

Velicia only smiled as she shook her head, the woman felt her body start to limp again. He doesn't want his best friend to worry.

"Merry I need to be so can't stay long" he said.

"Well I'm still missing," Merry's whine while pouting made Velicia laugh.

Now the two are separated by their cars. Velicia will go straight to the hospital for a check up.

***

The Arista Group office.

Clara who got the report that Velicia was now in the cafe near her office smiled, The woman just took a deep breath. He always asked his men to follow wherever the boss went.

Clara searches for Jack's contact, as she will report on each of the Nonanya's activities. Not long on his phone that number.

"Hello, sir," said Clara.

"What's the matter Clara?" ask Jack from across the street.

"Sir, Mother today the ration must be checked up again, yesterday said Herman's doctor if the condition worsens, but still often out of the house," Clara told Jack.

There was no answer from across there, only a long sigh that was heard by Clara. Soon as usual Jack will just disconnect the phone.

Clara could only sigh, the man always as he pleased turned off his phone, now Clara is waiting for an email from doctor Herman with the results of Velicia's examination.

Clara until now did not understand, why Arnold is now the boss, but according to orders from Velicia that Viona is prohibited from entering Arista's office.
