Married Man Arogan

Hiding the Problem

"Naya, there's something I want to talk to you about" Gerald said between their dinners.

"Talk? what do you want to talk about?" Ask Naya.

"I hope you didn't tell my parents at all what happened, including about my illness" Gerald said.

"It turns out you were afraid that I would say that to your parents. I guess a Gerald doesn't fear anything" led Naya.

"Ck shit! You mocked me? I'm not afraid of anything if I don't have anything to do with Mama" Gerald said.

"If I wanted to say it, I would have said it in the first place, Gerald. But I wouldn't be able to do that because I was thinking about Mama's health, after all I wasn't the complainant you thought I was. But I ask you never to do that again, now you know the ugliness of the woman you adore who turned out to be a traitor. You wasted what I likened to a piece of diamond just for the sake of a completely worthless gravel like that" Naya said.

"Close your mouth, Naya! You are, I only ask for help but you even lecture me at length. Just make my appetite go away" said Gerald, who threw a spoon on his plate and left Naya.

Naya took her breath slowly then exhaled it violently. She tried to be more patient to face her husband as she always did.

"Gerald, you need to finish your meal first!" Shouted Naya.

"You're the one who finished the meal, you crazy woman" Gerald said.

Naya did not flinch, she did not care at all about what her husband said, her heart seemed like a stone that could no longer feel the pain when he was insulted by Gerald. According to him as hard as Gerald, with the sacred love he has certainly he will be devastated as well.

Gerald went into his room, and again he destroyed the things in his room. Naya who heard that was just silent, she no longer wanted to interfere in Gerald's affairs while destroying her belongings for venting her anger on her former lover. It could be Naya who will be hit by her target later. He also prefers to go into his room to prepare assignments from campus that must be collected tomorrow, he said, rather than having to serve her arrogant husband who is being careless like a madman just because the woman who has clearly hurt her heart.

"Hello Ma, Mama how are you?" Naya answered a phone call from her mother-in-law, Dania.

"Hello honey, Mama's fine. What are you doing with Gerald, all right?" Ask Dania anyway.

"Yes Ma, I'm fine, so is Gerald" replied Naya.

"Thank God, why didn't Gerald answer Mom's phone. Mama called her, but she didn't answer Mama's phone at all" Dania said.

"Oh yes Ma, it seems like Gerald is busy again," said Naya trying to hide what was really going on.

"Naya, you're not hiding anything from Mama anymore, are you?" Ask Dania who is suspicious.

"No, I'm not hiding anything. Indeed, what I saw Gerald was very busy, not in the office, at home he still did his job," said Naya.

"Oh .. like that. Yes, but you have to keep reminding your husband, baby, do not attach importance to the work, do not forget the obligation of both of you to give Mama a grandson," said Dania who made Naya jerked.

"Good-grandson? How would you like to have a grandchild if your child does not want to touch me," inward Naya.

"Naya, you're still there, right?" Ask Dania.

"Yes ma, I'm still here" replied Naya who was awakened from her daydream.

"What did you listen to Mama say?" Ask Dania again.

"Yes Ma I heard, I will tell Gerald and if the matter of grandchildren maybe it is not our sustenance, if it is his provision later surely Naya and Gerald will have children. Oh yeah how's your treatment going, right?" Tanya Naya switched another conversation.

"Alhamdulillah Nay, now still in the process of healing. You pray yes Mama will recover quickly and will quickly return to Indonesia," said Dania.

"Aamiin, yes Ma I'm waiting for the return of Mama and Papa" said Naya.

"Yes Dear. Yes, then Mama wants to rest first yes, the doctor says you have to rest a lot," said Dania.

"Oh yes, honey, if so be careful" said Dania.

"Yes Ma. Da ... ," said Naya.

"Da Darling," replied Dania.

And then the phone call ended.

"Dor .. ," Denis's voice from behind shocked Naya.

"Denis, what's wrong?" Ask Naya.

"There's nothing at all, actually I've been trying to reprimand you, but because I saw you again the phone, so I paused first and only this I approached you," explained Denis.

"Oh that's it, yes, my in-laws were abroad on the phone," said Naya.

"Oh .. Do you have any classes?" Ask Denis.

"Well, in 10 minutes I have class, why Den?" Answer Naya and ask.

"Well, too bad, the plan is to take you to eat because I no longer have class" Denis said.

"Sorry Denis, I have class and I have to go home soon, because I promised Gerald I would go home to prepare lunch for him" Naya said.

"Yes already then" replied Gerald who looked very disappointed.

Actually, Naya also felt bad about rejecting Denis' kindness, but how else, she was just a woman who had married and had to keep her distance from other men.

"I'm Den first," said Naya then stepped foot leaving Denis.

"Naya, it seems like you've started to love her, the proof is that you don't want to bother me anymore" Denis murmured as he stared at Naya's departure further away.

Naya arrives at her home at exactly 01:00 p.m., when she sees Gerald sitting in the living room watching television.

"Gerald, did you watch television here?" Tanya Naya was astonished.

Gerald glanced at Naya who had just returned home still carrying her college bag.

"Indeed why? this is my home, it's up to me to be where and do anything" Gerald replied.

"Yes, yeah I know. What's wrong I'm just asking," said Naya, then stretched her legs to leave Gerald.

"Wait!" Call Gerald until Naya's steps stop.

Naya smiled and turned her face towards her husband.

"Why?" Ask Naya.

"Didn't you promise to come home early to prepare me for lunch, but why did you just come home? Or maybe you go with that guy?" It was Gerald who made Naya wrinkle her forehead.

...Seriate......
