MARRIED
I Promise
Julia damped out her irregular heartbeat. Put a cell phone on his lap. He knew he had made a very risky decision. But what can he do?
These few days all the companies that were asked to become donors have resigned. And tragically all those donors are big companies. While the deadline has been very tight. There is no time to find a big donor.
The head of the section continues to urge Julia to act immediately if she does not want to be humiliated, because this event has been announced to a public audience.
Although Julia worked in government departments, but for this event very little help from the government. Because this event is purely from the office where Julia works.
And finally, Julia took desperate measures. He could not tell Karel the problem, because Karel was different from Julia.
Julia is forced to accept the terms of Theo because of Theo's promise to become a single donor. Julia believes that Theo is a good person as she knew when she was dating.
Julia racked her brain, because what she was going to do with Theo should not be known to Karel, her husband.
Theo had sent out a message containing the day and hour he had to meet. Julia began to make plans. Moreover, the day Theo requested was Saturday tomorrow.
Day after day, it didn't feel like Friday.
That afternoon at the office, Julia was pensive. His head throbbed for an excuse so that tomorrow Saturday he could go a day without Karel suspecting.
"Darling, why are you daydreaming?" ask Karel who's been standing in front of Julia's desk.
"Oh my goodness, make it a shock" Julia picked up as she held onto her chest.
"However, Jul?" karel asked and sat in the front seat of Julia.
"No, this is all I know there was my school meeting that was tomorrow to invite a reunion," said Julia stammered. He was confused to find an excuse.
"SMP or SMA?" karel asked to know.
"School Management anyway," said Julia.
"Yes, I let you" said Karel, smiling.
Julia looked into Karel's eyes, and she didn't have the heart to lie. But ... He must take this action because there is no other way and this is the easiest way.
"Can you really?" ask Julia to make sure.
"Haha ... Of course you can, honey. Actually this afternoon I also have to leave the city. Maybe I'll just go home on Tuesday" Karel said.
"Why?!" Julia is confused.
"Just now, my section chief sent me to a gathering tomorrow Saturday through Sunday. Monday and Tuesday also have seminars in the same city. So I have to go until Tuesday tomorrow" Karel explained.
Julia's heart was relieved. Either luck or whatever was on his side, but he was very grateful that Karel would not be home tomorrow.
"You're okay Jul, if I go again in a few days?" ask Karel.
She felt bad for leaving Julia alone.
"Oh it's okay dong, it's a task," replied Julia steadily.
"Then you have fun with your friends tomorrow." Karel said with a smile on her lips.
Julia nodded, inwardly feeling that it had been very sinful to have lied to her husband.
Karel left the office first because he had to catch a plane. Julia couldn't drive Karel, because she still hadn't finished her office hours.
When the office hours are over, Julia takes care of her desk. As he prepared to get out of his chair, his phone rang.
Julia was stunned to see Theo's name on her phone screen. But eventually he lifted it.
- "Hello, Theo"
- "Hi Julia, how are you?"
- "Well, what's the call?"
- "I'm just reminding you of our show tomorrow. You didn't forget, did you?!"
- "Moreover, Jul?"
- "I don't want any photos or documents of our togetherness tomorrow so that our respective spouses won't know. How's it?"
- "Deal, I'll tell you that too."
"Well, Theo, I'll come on time as we promised."
"okay, Jul. I'm waiting for you."
Julia hung up. He took a deep breath regulating his racing heartbeat.
He felt he had taken the wrong action, but how else? He can't back off anymore.
At last Julia went home to her house.
***
Julia drove her car to an address Theo sent her. It turned out that the address was a house in an elite area.
When Julia was about to park her car, Theo was seen coming out of the house and told Julia to park her car in the yard only.
"Julia, your car lives here." Theo gave the order. It couldn't be any different car with Julia later.
Theo immediately took Julia into his car and Theo was the one driving.
"Whose house was that, Theo?" ask Julia.
"My house" Theo said briefly.
"Where is your wife?" ask Julia curiously.
"It's just my house. I used to live with my wife in another house, but these days my wife is overseas. Then how's your husband?" ask Theo.
"It just so happens that my husband has a job out of town."
"Wow ... How fortuitous. Well then, for this day we do not need to mention about our household. How's it?" ask Theo who now looks very happy.
"Alright, but remember not to let our partner know and also do not forget your promise to become a single donor." Julia reminded Theo.
"Just calm down, Jul. I won't forget."
Julia fell silent and looked at the street around her left right. But he realized that this was not the way to the amusement park, but the way out of town.
"Theo, where are we going?" julia asked confusedly.
"You want me to take you to my villa outside the city" Theo said casually.
"But you said we were going to the amusement park?" julia asked reminiscent of the terms Theo had said.
"I'm lazy with the crowd. I want to find peace in the villa with just the two of you. I'm sure you'll like it, Jul. The place is cool and quiet because it is in a mountainous area" explained Theo.
Julia's face paled, she was afraid of what would happen later.
"Haha ... Why is your face so pale? Take it easy, I won't do anything you won't agree with. I promise I won't do anything weird, we'll just have a chat later" Theo said smiling at the corner of his lips.
Julia fell silent and suddenly her heart beat irregularly, she was afraid to think about what would happen today.
Can Theo really keep his promise?
