MARRIED

Awaiting you

"Here you go, let's go down! The longer we're here, the more Ben and Mama get you wrong" Karel said, opening his car door and exiting.

Julia finally got out of the car and ventured to see Ben's face.

But ...

"Jul! Why are you still standing there? Yuk!" karel shouted surprisingly.

"Eh yes" said Julia.

Mama is seen smiling and welcoming the arrival of her beloved daughter.

"Julia, you've been here a long time. Ben was waiting for you, you know," said Mama immediately hugged.

"Ehm yes Ma, last time wanted to order a taxi suddenly Karel came and gave a ride," explained Julia.

"Karel, let's go in first," asked Mama.

While Ben just silently observed with an unfriendly face. His eyes stared intently at Karel and his body stood stiff as if holding back anger.

Julia was afraid to look into Ben's eyes and had guessed that Ben must have been mistaken.

"Thank you Auntie, but I'm going to continue the journey because I was going to a friend's house and happened to see Julia. I'll play here sometime, for sure" Karel, who supports Julia, told a lie.

Karel realized that if he said the truth, the problem would be long and the one who would be harmed here must be Julia.

"I said goodbye to Aunt Ben" Karel said, extending his hand to Mama and Ben.

"Jul, I go first" said Karel.

Julia nodded her head in response.

After Karel's departure, Mama invited Julia and Ben to enjoy drinks and snacks made by Mama.

While Mama is in the kitchen, Ben pulls Julia's hand violently into the garden behind the house.

"Julia, do you realize what you've done?" ben asked with a stifled voice holding back the anger.

"What do you mean, Ben?"

"Jul, are you having an affair?!" Ben held his voice so that he wouldn't hear Mama.

Ben's face was flushed red and his body stiffened, enduring the rage.

"Ben, watch your words! Don't talk here, you realize where this is?!" Julia was also provoked by her emotions because of Ben's baseless accusations.

"Jul, Ben, why are you still standing? Come sit together," said Mama who appeared suddenly carrying drinks and snacks.

Julia and Ben for a moment just looked at each other fiercely, holding emotions in the heart for a while.

Mama who does not realize what happened remains cheerful and tells about various things, but none of Julia understands.

His mind was confused as to how to explain the real thing to Ben while he was lying about his friendship with Karel.

Late in the afternoon, Ben who was impatient finally said goodbye to Mama.

"You guys go home quick. Though Mama has prepared dinner and Papa will be home soon," said Mama who looks disappointed.

Today Papa has to work late at the office so Julia and Ben can't meet.

"Sorry Ma, but we have an appointment with a friend to have dinner together" Ben said, but he just wanted to hurry home.

"Yes, if you have time to come here again" said Mama smiling.

"Surely Ma," said Julia and Ben at the same time.

They took turns hugging Mama and immediately got into the car.

When she was in the car, Julia fell silent and waited. Let Ben start what he wants to say first.

Ben is still tight-lipped, though. Not a word came out of his mouth. Julia glanced at Ben's stiff face, sharp eyes staring at the road in front of her. Concentrate driving.

"Bbj ... "

"Shut Jul! I don't want to hear anything from you!"

Julia was silent at once. Confused how to explain that he's not who Ben is accusing him of.

The car has entered the residential complex. Ben stopped his car in front of the house.

"Down!"

"Down now!" yelled Ben growled.

"You're not coming home, Ben? Where are you going?" asked Julia who was still holding on to her seat.

An impatient Ben got out of the car and opened the door for Julia.

"out! Don't wait for me to come home!" Ben said restrained. Do not want to attract the attention of people who pass by around them.

Julia followed Ben and finally got out of the car.

"Where are you going, Ben?" julia did not give up.

But Ben did not push and immediately started his car, pressing the gas strongly. A squeaking sound rang out loud in Julia's ear and Ben's car drove off leaving Julia in front of her own house.

With slow steps, Julia went into the house. He collapsed on the sofa and no tears flowed down his cheeks.

Ben ... Why don't you listen to me first? Where are you going now? How can you misunderstand? Though you know that Karel is just my workmate ...

Julia cried sobbing in her lonely house. Don't know what he's gonna do.

Until the night before, Julia was still sitting quietly in her place. Darkness enveloped the house and Julia did not want to turn on the lights. His heart was too sad to remember what happened.

Physical and mental fatigue made Julia finally sleep on the sofa.

The sound of a cell phone ringing woke Julia from her restless sleep.

Julia's hand was looking for a cell phone stored in her bag. When she saw the call, Julia just let it go and finally refused the call.

It was 9pm. Why did Karel call you this night? Let it be, I don't want to add any more trouble.

When the phone call from Karel came back in, Julia just let it go. Julia turned on the lights in her house.

It's late but Ben hasn't come home yet. Where'd Ben go?

Julia finally cleaned herself up. His body feels sticky and sultry. He wants to refresh himself so that if Ben comes, he can explain everything without being provoked by emotions.

That night, Julia sat quietly in the living room. The clock shows at 21:30. His eyes kept watching the clock keep moving, waiting for Ben to return home ...

***

While in a corner of the caffe hotel, Ben is seen sitting with a cup of coffee in front of him. Not alone, there was a beautiful woman accompanying him.

A smile appeared on his face. The two chatted casually and joked each other. Ben looks very entertained from the stories that come out of soft pink lipstick lips.

Many times Ben could not help his wide laughter.

'I always try to strengthen my heart

From those of you who have not yet returned

There is one belief that keeps me going

This wait will pay off for sure

Look at me dear ... Who has fought

Waiting for you to come, to pick you up

Remember slalu dear ... My heart you hold

I'm not leaving, waiting for you here

Stay right here

If it wasn't for you I don't know anymore

To whom I miss this, I will give

To whom I miss this, I will give

(Song by Anji)
