MARRIED

As it is up to you

Julia always smiles about her days. Now he is not alone anymore because there is Irfan who is always there if he wants to share stories when fun or sometimes annoying.

Irfan also as much as possible pay more attention to Julia and Arka. Moreover, Arka an active child and many wants. Maybe a little stubborn but even so, Arka is still a cute and adorable child.

Like this afternoon when Irfan came to Julia's house. Although Julia has not yet returned from work, Irfan painstakingly accompanies Arka to play. Irfan deliberately invited Arka to play in the yard.

Julia was a little rushed home this afternoon. Arka's babysitter sent a message to her phone, saying that Irfan had come to the house. Julia was happy, she had longed to meet Irfan.

When Julia got home and saw Irfan playing with Arka in the yard, her smile expanded. He is happy if Arka can love Irfan. Because all this time, Arka was closer to Ben.

"Hello dear," call Julia to Arka.

"Mama," said Arka running towards Julia and hugging her. Julia kisses Arka's cheek dear.

"Hello, Irfan. Been here long?" greet Julia smiling.

"Yet, maybe it's only been about half an hour."

"Yuk in, it looks like Arka is time to eat," Julia asked.

Arka continued to hug her mother because she was not good at talking because she was also only one year old.

Julia handed Arka to her nanny because she was going to be fed while she wanted to take a shower. His body felt sultry and wanted to freshen up.

While Julia was still taking a shower, Irfan sat down while playing his phone on the porch of the house. But Irfan raised his head when he saw a car stop in front of the house. He knew the car belonged to Ben. Irfan sighed in his heart, he felt his friendship with Julia would be disturbed. Moreover, Ben does not know if Julia is his lover now.

"Hello, Irfan. Why did you come here?" ben asked when he was in front of Irfan. He sat down next to Irfan.

"Hello, Ben. Long time no see you."

"Why did you come here?" ask Ben again.

"Why did you come here too, weasel?" Irfan asked back. I think he wants to kick Ben out right now.

"Haha of course want to meet my son, Arka. Where is he?" ask Ben as if to himself.

"Arka is being fed. Yes if you want to meet Arka. If I come here to see Julia," said Irfan casually.

"Hey Fox, don't mess around. I'm here too to meet Arka's mother. After all, I haven't seen each other in a few days, there's a job out of town" Ben explained.

"Ben, you are so confident. What if Julia chose me over you?" It feels like Irfan really wants to say if Julia is his lover, but he does not dare if Julia has not agreed to it. Irfan must obey.

"No way it is, fox. I'm sure if in Julia's heart there's only me," said Ben sure looking straight at Irfan's eyes.

"Hey there's Ben apparently." Julia is rather surprised to see Ben at her house along with Irfan. His head is suddenly dizzy if it has to be mediator among 2 sometimes childish people.

"Hello, Julia. Can I see my son?" ask Ben who went straight into Julia's house like in his own house.

Julia just shook her head while Irfan held back the irritation in his heart. He felt inexhaustible with Ben's attitude. Maybe Ben is close to Arka, but he is not his father?!

"Ben! Arka is eating, don't bother him first, later he will not eat," said Julia stopped Ben.

"Look, Arka has finished eating," said Ben who walked again near Arka.

The arcs that saw Ben soaring were happy, as if to ask for a sling," Papa pa."

"Here, Arka," said Ben, holding Arka affectionately.

Julia did know the closeness of Ben with Arka all this time, but now because there is Irfan, she felt bad. Moreover, Arka has been used to call Ben with the name 'Papa'.

Julia gave a bold glance at Irfan's face. And sure enough, Irfan looks furious or angry? Julia could not guess for sure.

"Love, look Papa brought you a toy. Sorry yes yesterday-yesterday Papa can not play with you because Papa has to work far away," said Ben while kissing Arka who laughed curiously.

To melt the atmosphere, Julia invites Irfan and Ben to dinner together. He only hoped that Irfan could understand the situation. Didn't Irfan also rarely go to Julia's house to play with Arka?

"There are sweet sour shrimp, really good," said Ben while taking his favorite rice and side dishes.

"Irfan, let's get the rice" Julia offered.

"Yes, thank you. You like shrimp, Ben?" ask Irfan.

"It's my favorite. Julia often makes me this side dish. Isn't that right, Jul?" Ben stared at Julia.

"The cook isn't me, Ben. Her mother was the cook," said Julia trying to explain the truth because she knew if the current Irfan looks angry.

Irfan swallowed his food with a forced. He was really angry at Julia who did not want to be frank with Ben if Julia was his lover at this time, so Ben seemed to do his best.

While Ben casually enjoys his favorite food, though he knows that Irfan does not like his presence. Irfan looked at him sharply.

After dinner, Ben leaves because he still has business.

"Arka, Papa go home first. But I promise you, tomorrow will be playing here again. Okay?!" pamit Ben on Arka who was busy playing with toys that he had just given.

"Pa pa pa," said Arka asked to be carried by Ben.

Ben who could not bear, took the time to hold Arka for a while and kissed her.

"Julia, I'll go home first. There's still some mumpung business not too late" said Ben.

"Yes, Ben. Thank you for bringing Arka a toy" Julia said.

"Either. Irfan, I go home first" Ben said.

After Ben left, Julia also prepared Arka to sleep because it was time. While Arka was accompanied by her caregiver because there was Irfan who seemed to want to talk about something important.

Irfan was waiting in the living room. She can't wait to tell Julia her heart. When she saw Julia sitting in front of her, Irfan could no longer hold her back.

"Jul, we have to tell Ben about our relationship. Moreover, I felt uncomfortable when Arka called him 'Papa'.

"Irfan, please understand. Ben is a sensitive person, I feel bad about saying it now. We're slow, yeah," Julia said begging.

"But he's doing his best, Jul!"

"The Ben comes here often. He was very familiar with Arka. If Arka calls Ben that 'Papa', I myself feel uncomfortable too. But it's become a habit. You should not suddenly protest, aren't you the one who rarely meets Arka?!" Julia began to raise her tone, a sense of annoyance began to perch in her heart.

"So you're blaming me because Arka is closer to Ben because Ben comes here often?"

"I don't blame you, Fan .... I'm just talking reality" said Julia getting up her emotions.

"But if you speak so it's like mistaking me, Jul. Yes I admit that I am not close to Arka, but now that you are my lover, you should keep your distance from others!" Irfan grew emotional because Julia did not want to obey his wishes.

Julia closed her eyes, regulating the anger that began to rise to her head. He did not blame Irfan, but he himself could not bear to now tell the truth to Ben. No matter how good Ben was to him, he was always there for him and Arka loved him.

"Irfan, we have only been made 3 days, why have you arranged me anyway. Ah I'm dizzy, you better just go home!" Julia did not want to extend her debate with Irfan, afraid that later the words that came out of her mouth or even Irfan's mouth would hurt both of them.

"As far as you are, Jul! I'm home!" Irfan could not help his anger. He stood up and walked, getting into the car by slamming the door. Moving away, Irfan did not look at Julia again.
