MARRIED

I'm Being Busy

Irfan parked his car on the street in front of Julia's house. Heart worried.

In his heart he misses Julia very much, but at the same time he feels bad to just meet Julia.

Irfan knows his current position is just a friend to Julia. She knew Julia wasn't ready to open her heart to anyone, because Karel wasn't long gone.

She realized that Julia was pregnant and that was the reason that made Irfan worried to get closer to Julia.

Not because of Julia's pregnancy, she was even happy if she could have a child even though it was not her flesh and blood. But it's unethical to be close to Julia right now.

Irfan looked at Julia's house from his car. It was late, Julia must have gone to sleep. But Irfan still did not move from his place.

Irfan closed his eyes. Julia's shadow was always in her eyes whenever she closed her eyes.

Sighing heavily, Irfan did not even think of himself. She has been obsessed with Julia ever since Karel died.

Irfan thought of Ben. Although Julia seems to think Ben is a friend, but Irfan is worried that if he moves away from Julia, Ben will get closer to Julia.

She was also worried, however Julia had loved Ben very much. Who knows, the hidden feeling will come back.

Irfan took a long breath. He can't give up. Irfan looked at Julia's house. Then slowly he runs his car away from Julia's house and returns home.

***

I don't feel like time is passing so quickly. Julia's pregnancy has reached the 6th month. Her stomach was starting to grow like a pregnant woman.

Julia is very happy with the development of her baby every time she sees a doctor.

But he deliberately checked the contents alone. He does not want to be accompanied by Irfan or Ben. Afraid that people will misunderstand and wonder why there are 2 different men who take her to check the womb.

Weekends like this, usually Julia just sit around and laze around. He deliberately prepared a variety of his favorite foods so that they do not need to go out of the house if they want to eat.

Like this afternoon, Julia enjoys a glass of warm chocolate accompanied by her favorite cassava chips.

The mystery novel book accompanied his sore this time. Julia did not really like socializing, so she read more novels.

Only half an hour later did Julia dissolve in her reading when her doorbell rang. Julia opened the door.

"Hello, Julia," said Ben with a cheerful smile.

"Hi, Ben. What's coming here?" ask Julia directly. He is disturbed by Ben's arrival.

"Just want to stop by, all of you want to see how you are. I wasn't told to come in?" asked Ben who was still standing at the door.

"Yes, come in. But don't be long yes, I'm busy," Julia said with an irritated face.

"Geez, it's so bad that you're pregnant" said Ben who had entered the house.

Julia looked at Ben in annoyance. I honestly don't want to see Ben. Julia is lazy if Ben starts talking about her feelings, wanting to knit love again. Julia avoids being close to any man at this time.

"Ben, where are you going?" ask Julia who saw Ben walking to the back of the house.

"G ... You seem to be reading a novel. I had guessed. I'll go with you, yes" asked Ben with a sweet smile.

"Ben, what the hell do you want to come here. Just go home there!"

"I want to be here ah. Jul, I'd like your steady coffee dong, too." Ben asked with his face.

Julia took a long breath. But he did not have the heart and finally obeyed Ben's wishes.

Sitting alone with Ben in the afternoon like this, Julia instead so remembered his marriage first with Ben. But Julia immediately threw away her thoughts.

"Jul, sorry to interrupt your afternoon. But there's something I want to tell you" Ben said, sipping his coffee.

"Rem ... What's up, Ben?" Julia was actually not interested in what Ben was going to say.

"Jul, my divorce papers with Nadine have gone to court. Hopefully not long the trial process," explained Ben.

"I've made up my mind, Jul. I don't think there's anything to keep in my marriage to Nadine" Ben said casually.

"Nadine's down, Ben. Besides he's not working, how is he going to get on with his life?" julia asked confused thinking about Nadine's next fate.

"Calm, Jul. For financial matters, I've already found Nadine a job. Even next week, he's already started working at a good company" Ben said.

"Okay, financial problems are sorted out. But he loves you so much, Ben. Can't you still adopt a child?"

"But I don't love Nadine. And the child's problem, I want my own flesh and blood. Jul, only you can give me a child" Ben looked into Julia's eyes.

"Ben, if you talk about it again. You'd better just go home," Julia said exasperatedly.

"Yes, sorry. I'll wait for you to be ready to accept me, Jul," Ben said.

"Ah come on, Ben. Don't talk about this anymore. And also remember, I didn't promise you anything. Maybe if fate brings us back together, I'll take it" Julia said.

"May destiny side with me this time, Jul," said Ben, smiling at the corner of his lips.

The sound of the doorbell back shocked Julia.

"Who is that, Jul? You have an appointment with someone?" ask Ben.

"No, I don't know who. I'll see for a moment" Julia said as she headed for the front door.

As she opened the door, Julia was a bit surprised to see Nadine standing in front of her, "Nadine?"

"Hello, Julia. Said I could go to your house?" Nadine showed her smile.

"Of course you can, Nad. It's a coincidence, Ben's inside. He hasn't been here long either" said Julia, who let Nadine into the house.

But Nadine just stood there, he did not expect to meet Ben at Julia's house after a long time he did not manage to meet Ben.

"Come on, Nad." Julia pulled Nadine's hand and guided her to walk into the back garden of the house.

"Ben, it's Nadine" said Julia, who saw Ben playing his phone.

Ben turned his head and immediately looked unhappy. The look on his face instantly turned irritated, visible from his reluctant eyes looking at Nadine.

Nadine looked at Ben's face in anger. He felt that his pride was no longer in Ben's eyes.

"Why don't you just kick him out, Jul?" Ben did not want to mention Nadine by name.

Julia is confused as to how to be in the middle of Ben and Nadine. They do not want to interfere in their household affairs.

"Julia, Ben's been here all along?" nadine asked looking angry at Julia.

"Nad, Ben hasn't been to my house in a long time. Even he just came," Julia said.

"You lied, Jul! It turns out you're the one who wants to have Ben. I didn't expect," accused Nadine whose face was flushed red in anger.

"You misunderstood, Nad."

"Nadine, if you speak the truth! Julia was not wrong. What he said was right!" ben shouted as if he had exhausted his patience.

"I can't believe it!" exclaimed Nadine who then walked quickly to get out of Julia's house.

Julia who was confused even pulled Nadine's hand to hold Nadine to explain the misunderstanding.

But Nadine shook her hands violently as she walked quickly. Julia was shocked, losing her balance. He also fell down immediately.
