My Cold Little Wife

PUFFERFISH

Arion's gaze fell on the clothes shop that Karina and Joya entered earlier. Arion's eyes narrowed to see the visitor who was inside the store.

Slowly he steps into the store but stops because Karina and Joya are out with Joya who has changed clothes.

"It turns out you're here" cried Arion.

"Hmm ... already let's continue shopping," said Karina.

"Emm .. I'm not coming. Me and Arion will just wait in the car" said Joya hugging her own body.

"Yes Karina. You alone are shopping," said Arion supporting Joya who made Karina stare annoyed at them.

"Just boy. He is my husband. If you want to go to a car that goes alone!" ketus Karina held Arion's hand and pulled her away.

"Ehh .. wait ...," said Joya but did not move from her place.

His face showed an annoyed look. Want to follow but the fall incident earlier undo his intentions. Finally, Joya decided to go back to the car alone.

Not until twenty meters Karina released the rough hand of Arion. 

"You don't like to pull right away. What am I really? Appreciate me dong as a husband," angrily Arion looked at Karina. Karina's just a duckling.

"I'll appreciate you if you value me" Karina replied.

Arion did not understand the meaning of Karina's answer. To their right is a sea fishmonger. Karina's eyes were fixed on some tuna fish. 

"How much is this mama?" tanya Karina pointed at the tuna fish. 

"That's only 90,000 Neng," replied the seller.

"Love these 2 tails deh Buk," said Karina.

"Combieed?" ask the seller to make sure.

"No need. Just throw the shit away" replied Karina.

Arion approached Karina and took a look at the fish for sale. His gaze was fixed on the fish with a round body shape like a ball, had teeth like a rabbit and had spines along its body.

"How much is this mama?" arion asked pointing at the fish. Karina's eyes looked at the fish Arion had pointed at. 

"That's a little expensive. But because you're handsome enough to take a selfie," the seller replied, staring shyly at Arion. It can be posted on Instagram.

"bah? You really want that fish?" asked Karina doubtfully.

Arion nodded. Karina just grunted annoyedly. Because the fish that Arion wants to buy is pufferfish. Yep. Fish that have poisonous spines are more deadly than cyanide poison and self-developing ability several times the initial body size.

"Where to not bang?" ask the seller again. 

"Okay Buk" replied Arion. The salesman immediately got out of his field and approached Arion. 

Czechoslovak.

Czechoslovak.

Czechoslovak.

Three photos were taken using a cell phone. Once satisfied the seller immediately calculated what the price of Karina's groceries.

"200 thousand Neng," said the seller.

Karina immediately took out 2 pieces of money hundreds from her bag and received a plastic bag containing tuna and pufferfish.

Since no one wants to buy anymore Karina and Arion leave the market for their car. On the street Karina nags at Arion.

"You want to make me die cooking your fish!!" karina's Omelette.

"Why? Is it just fish?" ask Arion to feel innocent.

"The name is pufferfish. This fish has poison in its spines. You just check on the internet," replied Karina walking faster leaving Arion looking for information about pufferfish.

"Alamak ...," shocked Arion patted his forehead. Arion immediately chased after Karina.

"Just throw the fish away" said Arion. 

"Well what?" astonished Karina stopped her steps. Arion stopped his steps.

"Dump the fish. I don't want you dead" Arion repeated. Karina smiled broadly.

"You're worried about me?" tanya Karina seduces Arion. Arion became misbehaved, a red hue visible on his cheek.

"Where is. I don't want to be labeled as a murderous husband" elak Arion continued. Karina's just a head bobble.

"When you get free fish. If in the real world the price of this fish reaches 265 US dollars per kilo or equivalent to 3.7 million rupiah. It's poisonous but if it's good at processing it doesn't matter" Karina murmured after Arion.

After arriving at the car. Joya soon approaches, initially sitting in a stall waiting for Karina and Arion because the car door is locked. 

Karina immediately put her fish groceries into the trunk.

"This ring was the shopping deposit," said the shop owner approached Karina. In his hand were about 5 large plastic. 

"Thank you Mother. This is a sign of gratitude," Karina said entering groceries and giving a piece of money hundreds.

"Ehh .. thank you Neng," pleased the shop owner.

Karina nodded and immediately got into the car. Joya and Arion have already entered. Arion drove his car out of the traditional market parking lot.

"Have you thrown the fish away?" ask Arion to make sure.

"God! Stop that!" karina exclaimed which made Arion brake suddenly.

"What's wrong?" tanya was annoyed Joya rubbed her forehead which hit the driver's seat. Karina ignored Joya's question and opened the windshield. His eyes are looking for something. And stopped at a minimarket. Arion pulled the car over.

"Rio bought me vinegar there" said Karina pointing to the minimarket across the street. 

"For?" ask Arion doesn't understand.

"It's you" replied Karina.

Arion immediately opened his seatbelt and got out of the car to buy vinegar. In the car Karina sees Joya from the rearview mirror of the car. 

"Until when are you hitching a ride at my house?" asked Karina flat. Joya glanced at Karina at a glance and turned her face.

"What do you mean call me

your cousin?"

Instead of answering, Joya asked a question back.

"Oh, my tongue just slipped. Who would want to have sex with you anyway?" answer Karina origin.

Joya wants to argue but Arion's hunt is back from the minimarket.

"It's the wound" said Arion handed him a dozen full of vinegar. Karina's eyes widened. He looked at Arion horror.

"What else?" tanya Arion started driving her car.

"What's this much for?" ketus Karina's. Arion just smiled at the horse.

The journey back to the apartment takes about 45 minutes. At first everyone was silent until Joya broke the mood.

"Arion you're gonna drive me home after taking Karina?" joya asks holding Arion's hand from behind.

"Emm ..." replied Arion glancing at Karina.

"But he promised to take me home" said Joya, unwilling to budge. 

Karina opened her eyes and glanced at Arion instantly closing her eyes again.

"All right now. I'm in. We're taking her now" Karina broke up.

"Good idea," agreed Arion.

Joya rounded her eyes. He wanted to argue but did not so because Karina raised her hand hinting silently not much mouth.

Finally, Arion drives to Joya's house or Argantara's residence. The trip takes about 30 minutes from the market.

Twenty minutes later they came before the towering gate. Arion honks the car horn. Security officers immediately questioned. Joya took her head out of the car, the gate opened.

In front of the door of the house was already waiting for a middle-aged man. Who else if not Reza Argantara. Joya gets out of the car with a scared look followed by Arion and finally Karina.

Reza's eyes narrowed at Karina as if she had met Karina before. Karina put on a cold face and smiled sinisterly towards Reza.

"Pa ...," call Joya slowly. Reza immediately turned his gaze to Joya. His face turned fierce.

"Based on a child who doesn't know it's lucky," angry Reza. His hand floated about to hit Joya but was pushed aside by Arion.

"No need to play, Uncle," said Arion hugging Joya.

"Who are you?" reza pretended not to know.

"I am Arion Wijaya. Joya's lover," Arion replied without seeing Karina.

Karina raised one eyebrow and smiled cynically. He crossed his arms and leaned against the bumper of the car. Karina circulated her gaze observing the outside of the Argantara residence.

The Argantara residence is surrounded by three-meter-high walls, two surveillance cameras at the front gate are equipped with four guards and surveillance cameras at each corner.

Karina looked down and found two holes the size of a golf ball game hole with a distance of 3 meters from each other. Karina smiled again.

"Hmm ... What are you doing here?" tanya Reza pulls Joya from Arion's embrace and tells her to go inside. 

"I want to talk to you about Joya's matchmaking with ZEE Company's Young Master" Arion replied steadily.

"Oh so. Let's just talk in my study," Reza said, inviting Arion in to leave Karina outside.

Karina chokes up. He also stepped in. Three steps later he stopped because of the notification tone of his phone. Karina checked the message coming from Gerry.

Queen I've found the exact location of Berto. He is in town B in country A, Gerry wrote.

"Country A? As the time has come" murmured Karina. He then sent a message to Raina.

Is my schedule going to country A? karina wrote. Shortly a message was heard.

There's Miss. Wednesday you have a big meeting at the Blue Hotel, Raina replied.

We'll leave early. Tomorrow we go to country A. Prepare yourself and Lila, at 06.00 am we leave, Karina replied ending the conversation via message.

Karina again sent a message to Gerry in reply.

Prepare plane. We're going to country A tomorrow at 06:00.

The Queen, reply Gerry.

Karina kept her phone and put her foot back inside the Argantara house.

His eyes looked at every corner of the Argantara house until finally decided to sit in the living room. 

"Yo ... Miss Joya your house is big how to ride in my house?" sindir Karina crossed her legs.

"It's none of your business!" ketus Joya looked at Karina unfriendly. Karina nodded her head. 

"You got food? I'm hungry" said Karina Tengil, who made Joya's face darken.

"From your expression like take yourself in the kitchen huh?" tanya Karina got up and set her foot in search of the kitchen.

He soon returned with a pack of snacks and a bottle of drinks in his hand

"This is for you" Karina said, throwing a packet of snacks at Joya. Joya.

"Is this my house or yours?" ask ketus Joya.

"I don't know. All I know is the guest is the king. So I am the queen," Karina replied casually and began to eat the snacks in her hands.

"It's up to you" said Joya relented.

He was running out of words to argue with Karina. Karina's face was always flat and calm. One smile even makes the feathers stand up.

****

Reza Argantara's workspace. 

Arion is still trying to negotiate with Reza. Reza who is basically sneaky always rejects Arion's offers.

"The cruise ship building project in K country then I will cancel the matchmaking Joya," break up Reza which makes Arion speechless.

"No! I refuse! It was a big project of Jaya Company" Arion refused. Reza smiled grinning.

"The project is or is not at all" Reza said, tapping the table with his finger.

Arion thought hard to find the best solution. The cruise ship construction project is one of Jaya Company's major projects. If it was given to Argantara Company then there would be internal problems within the company.

However, if tomorrow the cooperation with KS Tirta Grub is successful then the problem can be overcome. Moreover, Karina already guaranteed that it would work. Eventually he decided to give the project to Argantara Company.

"good. But don't you ever match Joya to anyone," Arion breaks up and calls Ferry.

"I'm Young Master" replied Ferry.

"Redirect the project of building a yacht in the country K to Argantara Company," Arion orders that make Ferry jerked in shock at his home.

"What's? Not wrong Young Master? If it is done it will definitely cause problems. Has there been any approval from Grand Lord Amri?" surprised Ferry streaks giving questions to Arion. Arion looked at Reza who raised one eyebrow.

"No problem. Justdoit. I'll explain tomorrow" replied Arion.

"All right Young Master. But I hope you don't regret it" Ferry said. Arion decided on the call.

Before long Reza's secretary who was on her back from standing next to Reza whispered to Reza. A satisfied smile also appeared on his lips.

"Thank you for the cooperation" Reza stood up and reached out to shake hands.

Arion stood up and replied to Reza's hand with a feeling of sadness. After shaking hands, Arion exits Reza's office and meets Karina and Joya in the living room.

After arriving at the living room, Arion's feeling turned into a stifled laughter. Because Joya's face is full of black scribbles while Karina's face remains clean untarnished. At the table there are cards neatly arranged.

"What's going on?" arion asked in astonishment as he continued to hold back his laughter.

Flashback.

Karina had spent five packets of snacks but still could not get rid of her hunger and boredom. Joya stared at Karina's horror.

Feeling noticed Karina looked back at Joya. His hunger gone suddenly turned into a prank idea that passed through his head. 

"Aren't you tired of waiting for them to discuss?" ask Karina to Joya. Joya's eyes narrowed at what Karina was going to do.

"I have an idea. Let's play cards. It will be fun" asked Karina to take out a small box of cards from her bag.

"No. I'm not in the mood," Joya refused to cross her arms.
