MARRIED
He's mine
Tonight Julia just flipped her body over the bed. He can't sleep. His first quarrel with Irfan still made him emotional.
Until now, around 11 pm, Irfan did not call him or send a message. If Irfan calls too, Julia does not necessarily want to accept it. He is still upset with Irfan who does not want to understand him.
***
Irfan sat down in the balcony of his house. He was not exhausted with the thoughts of Julia, but also at this time he wondered in his heart. If Julia really loves him, why does she still want to be close to Ben and not want to say loving relationship with him?
Irfan picked up a cigarette and lit it. Indeed, he is not a smoker, but if there is a burden on his heart, usually he will spend a cigarette two to vent his emotions.
Irfan closed his eyes, maybe he should go back to testing Julia's love. Now with this incident, he does not trust Julia completely.
The night was getting closer, Irfan was still silent looking at the night sky that was decorated with a sprinkling of stars.
***
Ben was sitting in his study, tonight he's still checking the cooperation papers. He just wants to make sure the cooperation that his colleagues submit is qualified.
Ben is building a new business in the property sector. He is tired of working with others and wants to have his own business.
But his concentration was scrapped when his phone vibrated a sign of incoming messages. Ben quickly opened it, perhaps something important. Because there are usually no incoming messages at almost midnight.
Ben's forehead creased as he looked at the photo sent on his phone. A photo showing Nadine and Theo together on a rooftop, probably in an apartment. Ben sees that Nadine herself sent him a message.
Ben never thought why Theo still want to meet Nadine and what will they plan?
All this time he knew, Theo lived abroad with his wife. And also he got word if Theo had a daughter, why now he came back here and instead met Nadine?
Ben let out a long sigh, he was afraid that Nadine and Theo were planning something that was not good for Julia or herself. Now he has to be more careful and take good care of Julia.

The next day when Julia came home from work, she was surprised by Nadine who was waiting for her in front of the office.
"Nadine?"
"Jul, sorry for not telling you first. But I feel like I want to take a walk with you" Nadine said.
"Where are you going, Nad?" ask Julia. It has been a long time since he walked because of his busy life.
"Where else if not to the mall. Stay with me, Jul, "take Nadine.
"Okay, but the mall is close by."
Julia and Nadine go to the nearest mall by driving each other's cars. When he arrived, Nadine took Julia directly to a famous boutique in the mall.
"Jul, please dong choose a beautiful dress for me," said Nadine when she was in the boutique.
"What was the show? Let's not get the costume wrong," asked Julia smiling.
"There's no show. Only tomorrow night I want to have dinner together ehm ... guys who are close to me lately," said Nadine shyly.
"Nadine ... Do you have a boyfriend?" asked Julia did not believe, because all she knew was Nadine had not been able to move on from Ben.
"Haha .. Not yet, Jul. We're just close, haven't dared to get to that stage."
"But I'm happy if you get your own happiness, Nad," said Julia sincerely. She went back to picking out the dresses available there.
"What about this dress, Jul?" nadine asked as she fancied her dress in front of the large mirror available in the boutique.
"Good, Nad. The sky-blue color fits perfectly on your skin" Julia smiled.
"I don't think I need it yet. Where am I going anyway."
"Don't go low, Jul. Ben and Irfan are always ready to be by your side. Who will you choose, Jul?" nadine asked curiously.
"I don't know, Nad. I haven't thought about it." Julia was forced to lie, because she was not ready to say if the current Irfan he chose.
But at the moment the relationship with Irfan is also not good. Since last night Julia has not communicated with Irfan.
Julia waited for Nadine to pay for the dress she bought. After leaving the boutique, Julia invites Nadine to drink and eat at the restaurant there.
After selecting the available menu, Julia checked the messages that went into her phone. But he again had to swallow disappointment when there was not a single message from Irfan.
"Jul, why do you look like you're having trouble?" nadine asked suspiciously because Julia had not concentrated on chatting with him since.
"Nothing, Nad. I was just thinking about Arka. It's a pity if I stay a long time, so after this I go home yes," said Julia looking for an excuse.
"Yes pity Arka, must miss her mother," said Nadine smiling.
After eating, Julia immediately went home to Nadine. While Nadine continues to look at Julia's car that is getting farther from her sight. Nadine could not help but smile in her satisfaction. Step by step he must have succeeded in carrying out his plan. He has to be patient. Because soon, he will act soon.
It was late afternoon when Julia got home. Julia sees Ben's car parked in the yard. He was no longer surprised because Ben often came to his house. Ben loved Arka very much.
"Carca!" call Julia when you get inside her house.
"Arka's drinking milk, Jul. You better take a shower and eat. You must be tired" said Ben who was sitting relaxed in the living room, like in his own house.
"Oh yeah, then I take a shower."
Julia quickly took a shower, she was impatient to play with Arka. A day of not meeting makes the taste of kangennya accumulate.
After taking a shower, Julia sees Arka playing with Ben. Both play in cars. Ben is very painstaking and patient with children, especially as active as Arka.
Julia comes to play with Arka until her time Arka sleeps. Arka was taken to her nanny into the room to be put to sleep. Julia also tidied up the scattered toys aided by Ben.
"Julia, moments like this always make me miss if I don't come here." Ben's hand was busy cleaning up the toys.
"When to clean the toys? If you like it, you're the one who cleaned it up" asked Julia amused.
"Eh that's not what I meant. I always imagined this was how we should be. You are my wife and Arka is my son. I just want it that way, Jul." Ben said looking into Julia's eyes.
"Ben, stop. If you really love Arka, let's just say she's your son" Julia said. Sometimes it does not hurt someone else's heart.
"thank you. Julia, I've said this many times, but I want to tell you again. Jul, will you be my lover? I love you so much and Arka" Ben said wholeheartedly.
Julia looked at Ben's eyes. For a moment Julia felt pity, his affection for Ben was only as a friend, but he did not want to hurt Ben at this time. Somehow, Julia saw that Ben had changed a lot.
"Ben, don't you go on. Julia is my lover, she's mine!" irfan shouted stifled, surprising Julia and Ben.
Irfan was standing not far from there. He came and saw the door open. As he entered, he heard Julia and Ben were having a conversation, so he decided to listen to him first.
"Ben, I said one more time. Julia is my lover."
