My Husband Is - Cuek

Seeking Someone

In fact, a little surprise at the office tonight made me momentarily forget about the problems that have plagued me these few days. I stood before my friends and said a few words to thank them.

"Ehem. I am Almaira Syafitri to thank all my friends for participating in making this surprise for me. I feel so lucky to have such good friends like you all. At the age of 26, hopefully I will be a better person, and ... ." My words were interrupted for a moment.

"Can get momongan soon," I said.

The look on my coworker's face is slightly bent. Especially female friends like to feel what I feel.

"Patience, yes, Alma," said the Holy One.

I nodded slowly. These eyes are already glazed. Now, the feelings of sadness and happiness are mixed into one.

"Hem, that's it. Continue to eat. Honey, here. Cake with ante."

With my face still smeared with some cream, I continued to eat the rest of the cake that was still intact. These tears I can't stand. Dona approached me with her chair.

"Why cry?"

"I'm a whim, Don. I didn't know you could remember my birthday." Sobbing.

"Actually, we don't know your birthday, Al."

I saw Dona feeding the cake into her mouth.

"You mean?" my many.

"All of these ideas are Mr. Rian."

Zip...

The little fork fell out of my hand. I held my breath for a moment and did not blink for a few seconds.

Without saying anything, I got up and ran to open the door of Rian's room. But I didn't find him there.

"You looking for Mr Rian, Al?" ask Dona.

I'm nodding. "Yes." Yeah."

"I saw him sitting in the garden."

After hearing that Rian was in the park, I immediately ran out. Take the elevator to get there faster. I ran back and saw someone sitting alone in the park.

I walked slowly while breathing this. In the darkness of the night, only his head appeared from behind.

"Sir" I hesitated a little.

He looked quickly at me who was beside him.

"Sit down," he bargained.

"No, Sir. Thank ye. I stand, "pick me up.

It'sit's nothing. The seat was narrow enough to sit together. Of course I feel uncomfortable when I force myself to sit there.

"Then I stand up too."

Mr. Rian got up while fixing his suit. Suddenly I dared not look him in the eyes. The bad taste is still on my mind.

"Happy birthday, Alma" he said.

"Thank you, sir." I bowed back.

"It." Rian gave me a box.

With hesitation, I received the box.

"Don't open here, yeah. And if you can, open it up when you're alone."

"Hem. Alright."

I walked quickly leaving Rian alone in the office courtyard. Upon entering the elevator, I stared at the old pink box with this silver ribbon.

**

I sit where I work. I didn't realize Dona was still there because she was so focused on this box.

"Waw, what is it?" ask Dona.

He immediately took the box from the table after I put it down. Dona also shuffled the contents. He was just as curious as I was.

"I opened it, yeah." For a moment Dona pulled the ribbon and was about to open the box, but, I quickly snatched the box from her hand.

"Don't! Rian, tell me to open it at home." Dona nodded in understanding.

"alright. About, what, yeah, is it?"

"Hem. Don't know."

**

I'm here, in the car. Exactly eleven o'clock in the evening, all the work was done. I'm still holding this box. I want to get home and open it.

Rian is romantic, attention. He gave me a gift and told my co-workers to surprise me. When Rey didn't say anything. This morning, he even left early in the morning because he did not want to see me. It seems, it is very unlikely that I would expect a word from him. Especially a gift like this.

"Sir. We don't stop in front of the gate. I'll hear this car. I don't want him to wake up."

"Good, Buk."

The car made it into the garage with the help of me and Mr. Joni. Though a little tired from pushing the car, at least I didn't disturb Rey's sleep.

Slowly, I opened the door with the key that Bik Ning had left under the door. Enter by settling like a thief. Who was Rey's fault for leaving early this morning, I didn't ask Rey for permission to overtime tonight.

I was surprised to see Rey already asleep in front of the lit tivi. I looked at that tired face. The face of the man I liked very much in High School. The face rarely smiles.

I continued my steps towards the room. Closing the door slowly. Put the bag on my dresser, then dropped on the bed. What a tired day.

Suddenly I remembered Rian's gift. Soon you get up and get the bag. Before I get back to bed, don't forget I locked the door first. Just in case Rey barges in.

I enthusiastically pulled the beautiful silver ribbon, then opened the box slowly. Apparently, there was a silver jewelry box inside as well. It is a little smaller than the outer box. I opened this silver box.

I was shocked and put my finger in front of the now gaping lips. I took the diamond ring I tried. Wear it on my finger. Looks really pretty. But, I let it go back. This is a very expensive gift for me. Obviously, there's no way Rian could have given me this without meaning anything.

After I looked back at the first box, I found a small piece of paper under this silver box.

I picked it up and read the paper straight away.

Almaira Syafitri's.

Sweet girl the first time I saw you. Your face, very similar to my late wife's. She is also good at singing, just like you. When I heard your voice at the party, I immediately fell in love with you. However, darling. This heart broke when I found out you were married.

I didn't mean to be mean to harm my college friend's household in Amsterdam. It's just, I can't hold this feeling much longer. I know what I'm doing is wrong. But, I will feel relieved if you know my true heart.

I really hope you can wear this ring and take off your other ring. But if you refuse, I will not hate you. Maybe I should realize you're married.

I crumpled the paper. Took a match and burned it on the floor of my room. Rian liked me for a long time. But, obviously I understand, what he did was a mistake.

Seriate....
