MARRIED

Must Be Happy

Julia looked into Karel's eyes. Her heart was still fragile at this moment, but when looking in the depths of Karel's eyes ... Finally he realized, he knew the answer now.

"Julia ... "

Gently Karel's hand stroked Julia's cheek, tracing the skin of a face as smooth as silk. Karel's fingers continued to move until they stopped at Julia's pink lips.

Gently behind her lips until slightly open. Unable to resist the urge of the heart, Karel slowly brought her lips closer. Kissing the friendly lips of Julia who feels soft on her lips.

They kissed slowly, enjoying a new taste between the two. The sound of a stifled sigh came out from the mouths of the two.

Karel's hand stroked Julia's head, positioning it to her liking.

Karel also deepened his kiss until it did not feel the hand of Julia firmly gripped Karel's shoulder tight.

Finally Julia stopped her kiss, but her hand still gripped Karel's shoulder. Regulating his irregular heartbeat.

Karel's face seemed tense withstanding the passion that ignited in him. It felt like he wanted to continue what he wanted to do to show his love for Julia, but he realized he had to hold himself back.

Julia still needs time to accept her love.

"Jul, sorry ... "

"Sstht ... Don't say! Please, accept me for who I am" Julia looked into Karel's eyes.

Karel pulled Julia's body, hugging the woman who had always filled her heart for so many years.

"I love you Jul. Thank you for accepting me. Together we live, I try to always make you happy," said Karel clutched tightly Julia's body with a friendly.

For a while, Julia and Karel were still on the beach. Enjoy the view of the waves that tirelessly reach the beach.

The hands of the two were intertwined, as if to channel the taste that was in their hearts.

It was almost midnight when Karel drove Julia home.

When she had taken a shower and was preparing to go to sleep, Julia opened the messages that entered her phone. His hand scrolls slowly on the phone screen, but at once his hand stops when he sees a message coming from Ben.

Ben sent a message? Nights like this?

Julia's hand came to a halt, afraid to know what Ben was trying to say.

A few minutes passed, Julia still hesitated. Finally his courage came. A message from Ben, her ex-husband.

- Julia, I'm sorry (Ben)

Many times Julia read messages from Ben. Ask in my heart what Ben meant to say that way.

Isn't it too late to say 'sorry'?

Julia looked at the clock on the wall of her room that had already shown it almost 1 p.m.

Subconsciously, his mind floated back at the time of his first marriage to Ben. The wedding night that makes his chest feel sore when he remembers it now.

Moreover, Julia heard that Ben and Nadine honeymooned to Bali, just like she used to be.

It may have been very different when Ben and Nadine went through the night of her current bride. I don't know why Julia couldn't hold back the tears that fell on her cheeks.

Julia kept looking at the messages on her phone screen. Ben says sorry on the night his bride made Julia even sadder.

Julia still continued to cry, not holding back her sobs. Let her grief tonight spill.

But Julia was determined that this was Ben's last tear. There was enough sadness that he had been feeling all along.

Ben is happy with Nadine ... Why do I still mourn him?

Julia wiped her tears and set her breath to ease her sadness.

Enough already! Julia sighed and was determined to forget Ben forever.

***

A week had passed, Julia was preoccupied with a myriad of jobs. But now his days are no longer empty. There was a Karel who always accompanied him and made him laugh.

Actually Karel invited Julia to join the family event Karel, but Julia refused subtly. Julia was not ready to continue her relationship with Karel to a more serious stage. He still needs time.

Julia plays her phone, looks at social media and searches for news that is going viral. But the doorbell disturbed him.

Feeling no appointment with anyone, it feels like Julia is reluctant to open the door of her house. But finally with heavy steps opened the door.

"Hello Julia" said Nadine, to Julia's surprise when the door was opened.

"Ha - Hello Nadine," said Julia stammered.

Julia stared at the confused Nadine who suddenly came to her house alone without Ben.

"You didn't let me in?" nadine asked with a forced smile.

"Ehm ... I'm getting ready to go, just tell me what you want, don't have to make small talk" Julia said.

I think Julia is too lazy to talk to Nadine.

But Nadine forcefully broke through Julia's body and immediately sat on the living room sofa. Julia sighed holding back her emotions and finally took a seat before Nadine.

"Nadine, what do you want to come here?" ask Julia directly.

"Jul, I just want to give you this." Nadine put the paperbag on the table.

"What's that?"

"This is our gift to you. We just got home from our honeymoon in Bali" said Nadine who sounded mocking in Julia's ear.

"Bring me home, Nad! Thank you for the attention, but I don't need it" said Julia cynically.

Julia wants to drive Nadine from her home, tired of serving Nadine who feels very insulting to her.

"Whatever, I put it here anyway. You didn't ask me why I came alone without Ben?"

"I don't want to know. Now please go home, I have an appointment."

Julia stood up and walked towards the door because she could not bear to see Nadine in her house.

"Mahaha Julia ... You don't wonder how my honeymoon was and Ben's?!" Nadine still sat in her place and was not at all disturbed by Julia's attitude that drove her away.

Julia remained silent, looking at Nadine's face flatly without expression.

Whatever you want to say! Inner Julia in the heart.

"Julia, between me and Ben there's no secret at all. Ben told me all about your wedding, including your honeymoon. Haha ... But what am I telling you, you will cry."

Nadine now stood up and walked in front of Julia.

"Jul, I'm so sorry for you. That's all I wanted to say. I go home first" said Nadine, who laughed and walked away from Julia's house.

Julia slumped on the floor. Why is everything about him and Ben not over?

Julia wants to curse and beat Ben until he is satisfied.

Ben was so cruel to have told me all about his marriage just yet. Julia's tears came back and her heart ached when she remembered Nadine's triumphant laughter.

After regaining control, Julia grabbed the paperbag that Nadine gave her. Without looking at the contents, Julia threw them in the trash.

Julia closed her eyes, holding back the remains of tears that still wanted to scatter out.

Ben and Nadine have insulted him. Julia was determined in her heart, she had to be happy!

It will show him that without Ben, his life will be happier.
