My husband is not the CEO

Eighteen

"I got to the basement."

I clasped my phone between my shoulders and ears while wearing Rafka's jacket on the back of my chair to cover my body. Too long if I have to go to the room and find clothes.

The corridor was quiet as I passed by, I didn't leave the apartment all day so I wanted to take a walk to refresh my brain. I haven't talked to anyone but Jane and Kayla. Who knows, I'll get a new neighbor besides Adena. It's boring by itself.

"I'm down ya." I got into the public elevator, but there was no one. It's free to choose this elevator if there's no one to get acquainted with.

I pressed the number 1 button, the elevator door was about to close but someone held it down. I was astonished to see the man who entered the elevator, I covered my open mouth with both hands. My heart was pounding in silence, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My eyes warmed up as he looked back at me. Maybe I'm crazy to see him here, ah yes this is just a hallucination of watching a horror movie earlier. He was nothing more than a ghostly figure that had suddenly disappeared without any news.

"Mirror .... " That voice, I know him well. "How come, it's you." He approached, I retreated.

My tears were held back, like something was blocking my respiratory tract. That face, why did I see it again after 4 years. I didn't expect him to come again, I was happy with myself.

He moved closer to make me retreat until he finally hit the elevator wall.

"I miss you."

"In the near future we will get married, do not expect our struggle to finally bear fruit!"

"You're the only woman who made me fall in love this deep, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life, I'll use the rest of my life just to be with you."

My body went limp as he slammed into my arms, my phone falling somewhere. How dare he say that, I want to vomit.

"I'm sorry for suddenly disappearing just before we got married, I can explain everything."

"What you dreamt last night, it's been four years since that day, what kind of explanation you want to talk about it won't change anything."

"I still love you, I can't forget you all this time Cara."

A speck of clear crystal escaped my eyes, what kind of nonsense was he saying. Rama had no reason to love me, if so why that day he left me alone, letting me heal his own heartache.

I took a breath and gathered energy, "how dare you!" I pushed his body with all the energy I put in.

"How to, Caramel calm down first."

"Name*t!" I'm trying to get out of his arms, I hate this scent. My sense of smell rejected his scent. "B*son, let me go!"

"The caramel!" Rafka yells as the elevator door opens, he barges in and drags Rama's body away from me. Rafka pulled the collar of Rama's shirt and threw a fist many times on the face of the man who used to be my future husband.

I was astonished to see the first time Rafka was angry, her face reddened. I didn't think he could be so angry that Rama was helpless. I don't think Rafka has anger, he's the flattest guy I've ever known.

Fresh blood flowed from the nose and corners of Rama's lips, he fell down on the floor. Rafka saw me, she immediately pulled me into her arms.

"Rafsa .... " My body is trembling, I don't want to see Rama again after struggling to forget him. Rafka clenched my body tightly, I closed my eyes to calm down.

A few people and guards are crowding around this place, I don't want to see it. I want to get out of this place right now.

"Sir, can you explain what happened?" The sound of one of the apartment guards.

"This man, hugging my wife." Answer Rafka. "It's a crime."

There was no answer from Rama, apparently he did not do a defense.

"You're both committing a crime!" The heavy sound of the security guard made me reluctant to break away from Rafka. "Let's solve this problem at the office."

Rafka let out a loud sigh, she grabbed my shoulder out of the elevator. Is this a nightmare? I usually have nightmares after watching a horror movie but it's too bad that I can't forget it even when I wake up.

Four years ago he disappeared a week before our wedding day. Don't ask me how devastated I felt at that time, I was embarrassed and shut myself up for two months. I healed my own pain, alone to be able to lead a normal life even though it was not easy.

Now Rama comes and says he still loves me? I want to laugh out loud right in front of his face. What nonsense!

"Mas Rama, my goodness, why!"

Adena's?

Adena walks into the security post followed by the little girl behind her, Ara.

Ara's a combination of my name and my husband's.

Very surprising, so Adena's husband is Rama.

"Mom, please sit." Tell the head of security who was sitting before us.

Adena sat beside Rama holding Ara. My heart ached, this incident made the wound that had long dried now re-scratched. Like there was a sharp object that hit my chest, it hurt so much.

"Sir Rama, do you know Mrs Caramel?" Ask the tall black-and-black dressed man. Bram, the name written on the nametag on his right chest.

"Yes." Yeah." Rama nodded.

"Is it true, Miss Caramel?" He's seeing.

I'm nodding. The screen in front of us showed CCTV footage of Rama getting into the elevator and suddenly hugging me for quite a while. I fought back but my strength was not comparable to Rama's. Until Rafka finally came and beat Rama mercilessly.

Adena was surprised to see the tape, she looked at her husband and looked at me with a look of disbelief. It seems she did not know that her husband had once almost married another woman. Or he knew but never expected that woman to be me. Rama completely disappeared and forgot me from his life, it's not fair when I took the trouble to forget him.

"Let's solve this problem in a family way." Mr. Bram turned off the footage and looked in our direction.

"How could someone suddenly come and hug a married woman when she already has a wife." Rafka's voice was so cold. The anger of a quiet person is indeed very frightening. Rafka threw a sharp gaze at Rama, if the gaze could kill then surely now Rama has lost his life.

"I'm happy, it's spontaneity." Sahut Rama's.

Rama didn't answer Adena's question, you coward!

"Let's apologize to each other so this doesn't get to the police." Said Mr. Bram again. "Sir Rafka, do you forgive Mr Rama?"

Rafka's jaw hardened, his hands clenched firmly.

"If this case is investigated by the police, Mr. Rafka may lose because you have attacked and physically injured Mr. Rama."

Rafka looked at me, I nodded faintly. It's better not to extend this matter, I'm sure Rafka will be a suspect under the rule of law.

"I want this to be done right now." Tuke Rama.

"How about Mr Rafka?"

Rafka nodded, although I was sure her heart was still filled with anger that was evident from the expression on her face.

"Well, may such an event not happen again, Mr. Rama please be careful, do not repeat the same incident."

"Can I speak to Caramel here?"

What say? I can't believe Rama still dares to ask for such a thing.

"I promise I won't bother him again after this." Added.

"I leave it to Mr. Rafka." Mr. Bram moved from his seat as well as two other guards.

"I don't want to!" Adena exclaimed, she was still stirred by emotions. You think I want to?

"Dena, I'll explain everything to you, now let me talk to Caramel first."

"If you dare mess with Caramel, you may never see the world again." Rafka moved on, he passed by without saying anything more. Adena also came out by force, she brought Ara who did not understand anything.

Rama looked at me, with that look. The same look as four years ago never changed. It slipped back into my chest, he didn't say anything but my tears just flowed without my permission, it sucks.

Rama's physique did not change much, only he looked a little thinner. His hair was a little messy, had he lived happily all this time? leaving me to suffer alone.

"I got married to Adena the week before our wedding day."

That short sentence managed to make me gasp, I was shocked half to death. After 8 years of being in a relationship, a week before the wedding day, he married another woman. I've never known a jerk like him in this world, only Rama. I hope no other human being is created like him.

"She's pregnant with my son."

I closed my eyes, "how long have you been cheating?"

"Sorry Caramel, actually at that time there was no intention of cheating."

"What?" I laughed on the sidelines crying, "if there is no intention why could Ara be present in your midst?"

"That time I was stressed because of our wedding preparations, you knew your request was a lot." Why would he use that excuse for his own fault, I'm sick of it. Rama said that our marriage should be special because he only wants to get married once in a lifetime.

"Then?"

"I accidentally met Adena and ate together a few times."

"Then you forget yourself and impregnate him?" I grinned, "God is so good because I was kept away from men like you, thanks for the explanation." I'm budging.

"But Cara, you know I love you just the same." Rama held my hand.

I glanced at him sharply, "you don't see I'm married, he's a nice guy who's never stressed out just because of his partner's request." I shook Rama's hand and passed from there.

******

Rama's cell phone rang, Adena's name on the screen. Rama ignored the call because he was busy choosing a prewedding photo to be inserted on his wedding invitation card with Caramel.

"Pull it off!" Rama grumbled, he answered the phone from Adena because he could not stand the endless ringing of his cellphone.

"Ram, I'm pregnant."

Rama nodded at Adena's words, "can you?"

"Can you just say, you forgot what happened that night?"

"We only admitted it once."

"Certain why? the proof is that now that I'm pregnant, I want you to take responsibility, marry me."

"You're crazy, soon I'll marry my boyfriend."

"Why did you do that to me when soon you're getting married."

Rama's phone fell, connection cut off. He did not believe what Adena had just said, how could the woman be pregnant. Rama gaped at his prewedding photos with Caramel.

At that time Rama felt his life was ruined because he failed to marry the woman he loved. Rama couldn't explain everything to Caramel, it just made things worse. Nor could Rama have had Adena abort her womb, the baby was innocent.

Rama's tears dripped over the photo of Caramel smiling at the camera, the woman was beautiful with a blue dress of wardah brocade on the chest. Caramel's brownish hair decomposes beautifully in the sun.

If he could repeat the time, Rama would never try to play around with other women who ended up being fatal like this. What he will tell his parents later.
