After coming home from Dad, Harfei looked unsettled. His thoughts were wrapped in worry, simple words that Dad said as if playing on the head of the handsome man.
The memory of Hazal's photos with David is back. Almost every day, Hazal's photo with David and the other man is sent to Harfei, and all the photos almost fill the drawer of the man's desk. Even Harfei also got terror saying that his wife had cheated on him. Which husband's heart does not hurt when he hears his beloved wife wholeheartedly has another man. But Harfei always denied that. He tried to be quiet and calm. Whether it's a trap or just a prankster who wants to play around with it. Thought Harfei.
"Mas, don't you go to the office today?".
Hazal's question disperse Harfei's daydreams. The man turned to his wife who was wearing pink lipstick.
"Today I didn't go to the office, I had other business outside".
Hazal's forehead was wrinkled questioningly. The woman got up from the dressing chair, then sat down next to Harfei who was sitting on the bed.
"Where are you going?. It's not weird, is it?". Hazal asked in full search.
Plaque...
Harfei touched Hazal's forehead with his index finger.
"How weird?. Your mind is strange. I'm going to Dino's house first, there's a little business".
"Dino?".
"Gosh, I forgot. Dino was a friend when she was a child. He currently serves out of town as Intel. Because Dino is in town now, so I want to meet him. We haven't talked in a long time".
Hazal ber'Oh' ria when she heard her husband's explanation.
"Well, I'll go to the restaurant first. Wawan said today our restaurant gets wedding catering".
Hazal kissed Harfei on the cheek and then kissed the back of her husband's hand and left the man in the room after getting permission.
"Darling, I'm sorry I haven't been able to be honest with you". Harfei Mumbled.
****
In restaurant. Hazal, Helena, Anton, Wawan, and other employees seemed busy preparing wedding orders from one of the Wedding Organizers.
"Please maintain Anton's taste, I don't want any mistakes. And you Wawan, make sure everything is not lacking one. Jamil and Reno, deliver all these orders on time before the show starts. I'll keep an eye on you guys". Hazal's Word. And they also do their respective duties in accordance with the direction of the long-haired woman.
An hour later, all orders were completed. Now it was Jamil and Reno's turn to deliver the order. But Hazal followed the two men to the wedding to make sure there was no mistake.
"alright. Let's leave". Hazal's Word. And the white box car also went to the wedding building where the order was delivered.
For almost half an hour of travel on the third journey. Now the box car is perfectly parked in front of the wedding building. Hazal got out of the car and ordered some employees in the building to pick up a package containing food from the restaurant.
After finishing, Hazal entered the three-story wedding hall gracefully without looking back and forth. Until the voice of someone so familiar stopped his steps.
"Ruler".
"David?".
"What are you doing here?".
"I'm helping my relatives who are getting married by noon".
David said as he threw a smile in admiration at Hazal. Yeah, David's admiration for Hazal never wavered. But the man understood his position. He does not want to be the man who grabs people's wives, or said netizen Pebinor. 😁
"So this is your relatives' wedding?".
"Yes".
Actually David was the one who recommended Hazal restaurant to his relatives who were getting married. The reason is simple, which is amazed by the figure of Hazal who is independent and hardworking. Despite having a husband whose career is currently successful, the woman still helped take over the restaurant that once belonged to Harfei.
"Well, what a coincidence. I'm the one who set up the catering at this wedding". Hazal said enthusiastically.
"really?. Congratulations then. Oh yea. Can we have a conversation?".
"Of course I can. Why turn into a rich stiff so anyway?. Rich just know it".
Harfei scratched his non-itchy head while smiling stiffly. Both of them sat in the corner of the room.
"How was your wedding?. Are you happy?".
The question surprised Hazal. For a moment silence covered the two.
"We're doing fine. It seems like these few days everyone is worried about my marriage". Hazal replied after a moment of silence.
"Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to doubt your husband. I just want to know how much happiness you have after marriage".
"Of course Hazal is very happy".
DEG...
"I give great love to my wife, and she never lacks affection. You don't have to worry about anyone else Mr. David". Harfei continued, aggressively hugging Hazal's waist, making her feel awkward.
"Ah, sorry Mr. Harfei. Looks like you misunderstood, I'm just-"
"Stop following my wife Mr. David". Harfei brought his face closer to David and then whispered into the man's ear.
"Or you'll know the consequences".
David's forehead was wrinkled almost fused together. Harfei pulled his body away from the man, then stood to Hazal's side.
"Alright Mr. David, I have to take my wife".
Harfei pulled Hazal's hand, but did not make her hand hurt. Hazal turned to David as if to apologize through the look of her guilty eyes.
Both of them disappeared from David's view and left Jamil and Reno who were still busy preparing for the wedding catering.
****
In the car, neither Hazal nor Harfei seemed to be silent making any sound. Both dissolve in their minds. Until the car Harfei was driving stopped by the road.
Harfei's face turned tense. He hardened his jaw, and grasped the steering wheel tightly until he showed his knuckles.
"Tell me, what are you doing there with David?". Harfei asked in a cold voice without looking at Hazal. Anyone who listened to the man's voice, would definitely shudder in horror.
"I accidentally met him Mas". Hazal said as gently as possible. He does not want to be emotional, because if he does, then there is no way a fight will happen.
"I told you, stay away from that guy. Can't you follow my words?. If you accidentally meet him, then avoid him. Don't talk to me!".
Harfei's voice began to rise, causing Hazal's heart to be sliced and wounded.
"Mas, who married it was a relative of David. How do I avoid it?. He was one of the men in charge of the wedding".
"Then cancel it!".
DUARS...
Like lightning during the day Hazal heard Harfei's words which seemed to be in the tone of an indisputable command.
"Can't dong mas. I already took part in the party. We cannot stop in the middle of the road just because of a trivial problem. That's not called professional". Tandas Hazal's.
"Sepele?. You said this matter was trivial?. Well, let's just say I'm not professional. Then stop this job or you can't go to the restaurant at all!".
DEG...
Once again Harfei's sentence made Hazal's feelings torn apart. The woman's heart trembled. What is it with that woman's husband?.
"Mas, is there a problem?". Hazal asked in a softened voice. The woman touched Harfei's shoulder gently. She did not want to lure her husband to be more emotional.
Harfei closed his eyes as if he wanted to neutralize the feeling that had been caused by anxiety.
"I just don't want you to why, baby. Really, I can't see you getting hurt". Harfei said in a soft voice. The voice seemed to hold something inside. The man almost shed tears, but as much as possible in his custody.
"What do you mean, Mom?. Injured?. Me?".
Hazal points to herself using her index finger.
"Darling, please stay away from David, um?".
Hazal's steady brown bead was trying to find something inside that made her husband riled up.
"All right, I'll follow Harfei's words. But let me work and finish my job. I even left Jamil and Reno at that place. They must be looking for me mas".
And finally the debate that was quite emotionally draining Harfei was ended by agreement, that Hazal should not interact with David wherever he was. Hazal agreed to her husband's request without protesting.
