My husband is not the CEO

Fifty Five

The school corridor was deserted in an instant after the bell of the lesson marks rang all over. It did not take long the 3-story building was deserted by its residents. There are only a few students who have not come home due to extracurricular followings.

The footsteps sounded louder than usual as Caramel stepped through the corridor. Caramel's horse-tailed hair swayed along with her footsteps. He looked to the right and left with a stiff face. He was afraid if suddenly there was a ghost who ambushed him from behind or ngesot nurse from below.

"Jane and Kayla where the hell is she?" His grunts for not finding Jane and Kayla there when they promised to accompany him to take a notebook in the locker.

"Where to pee again." Caramel walked a bit down holding down the pee that seemed to be at the end, he did not dare himself fear being attacked by the sister shampoo - the name of the film title that will be released next year.

In a hurry, Caramel ran to her locker rather than die of fear here alone.

"Cock it open?" Caramel frowned, she turned the locker door lock but could not because it turned out that the door was unlocked. "I may forget the door."

Caramel was surprised to find a beautiful jar with colorful origami inside. Caramel was stunned - in a slow motion he picked up the jar and looked at it for a long time. In Caramel's heart wondered where the jar had come from, why it had suddenly been inside his locker.

The smell of mint mixed with the scent of the sea and fresh fruits burst out as Caramel opened the lid of the jar. It feels like being on the beach with a gentle breeze, cool and hot breeze felt at the same time. Caramel's never smelled anything like this before. Although he has tried various brands of high end perfumes but no one has a scent like this.

"Why does it smell so good." Caramel's eyes closed in on the smell of the star-shaped origami voraciously.

After smugly inhaling the fresh scent Caramel finally opened his eyes, he saw a paper embedded under the origami. Caramel pulled the paper and unfolded it.

Caramel's eyes were round when he knew that it was not ordinary paper but a letter with such neat handwriting.

"OMG turns out I have a secret admirer." Caramel pressed her chest not believing that anyone sent her a letter when others exchanged messages via SMS.

"How!"

Caramel gasped at the sound of someone at the end of the corridor. Who else would have a loud voice like the master of the ceremony if not Jane.

Jane and Kayla run over to Caramel, "go find you everywhere you know not." Omel Jane's.

"I should be the one who nagged not you, you guys where he said I want to nemenin I take the book here."

"Eh what the hell?" Jane mis-focused on the jar in Caramel's hand.

"I don't know, someone gave me this."

"Look at dong." Jane and Kayla snatch the jar.

"There's no name for the sender, just the initials R" Tukas Caramel.

"I think I saw Pelita Nusa's son come here." Jane said as she twirled the origami jar in her hand.

"Seriously you?" Caramel and Kayla asked at the same time.

"Seriously, I know the uniform Pelita Nusa." Jane nodded confidently at what she saw earlier.

"Cowok right?" Alleged Kayla.

"Yes!" Jane's strangulation shocked Caramel and Kayla.

Caramel's heart was racing knowing the fact that the person who sent him the letter and the origami was Pelita Nusa's son who was located opposite the school.

Bruk!

Caramel regained his senses from his daydream after hearing the falling object, he blinked his eyes several times and gulped roughly. He dropped the detergent container until the contents splattered onto the floor. But now it's not important. Caramel's heart was still pounding, recalling the moment when she first smelled the scent of the sea.

Caramel is still holding the clothes Rafka was wearing yesterday, I don't know how long he has been standing in front of the washing machine. The activity was delayed because Caramel was not satisfied to smell the perfume on Rafka's clothes. Yesterday Rafka said it was a perfume she used to use High School time.

"Realized .... " Caramel didn't go on, she put the white shirt on top of the washing machine and didn't wash it. He had to ascertain a great fact which he had not known.

Caramel opened the door of the dressing table to pick up the origami jar in a hurry. He looked at the handwriting on the worn-out letter carefully. Five seconds later Caramel rose to walk in closet, he remembers hiding Rafka's notebook in one of her drawers.

Caramel matched the writing on the origami letter to Rafka's notebook. Both are exactly the same there is no difference.

Whatisthis?

"It turns out I've been wrong all along." Caramel drowned, her body slumped to the floor with her hands clutching the letter. His shoulders swayed in tears without a sound feeling the pain in his heart that was so stifling his chest.

Caramel thought Rafka was just a guy who used to like her secretly, watching her from afar. Caramel did not think that the person who gave her the origami gift on her birthday was Rafka. Why had Caramel not thought about it at all?

Rafka has told me several times about their meeting to how important Caramel's birthday is to Rafka.

Paper that can be sold in the store, right?

No. I made it myself.

Even when Rafka tells her that there is origami that can light up in the dark, Caramel remains oblivious to it. Caramel is too focused on Rama who has been in a relationship with her for years.

He had a picture of me during my High School breakup

Well lest he secret admirer you all this time but too afraid to nyamperin directly

Caramel suddenly remembers her conversation with Jane and Kayla after meeting Rafka for the first time before marriage. Jane is right, the secret admirer is Rafka who is now Caramel's husband.

You're a fool, I swear Car!

"Why is it now?" Caramel bit her lower lip-sore once as she realized it all after spending 8 years with Rama. Caramel could not imagine what it would be like to be Rafka who could only see her affection with Rama from afar.

During this time Rafka knows everything while Caramel does not know himself to see Rafka as a stranger even though he is the owner of sincere love.

Perhaps this is why Caramel only keeps the origami among the many gifts Rama gave. Destiny wants to guide Caramel to find out who the giver really is.

For the first time Caramel was grateful for the pain he had felt since he had canceled his marriage to Rama. It turns out that behind the pain God kept a special gift for Caramel.

"Darling, I'm home." Rafka sows a smile as she steps in and out of the private elevator of her apartment. Tired after a day of work vanished when he got home, even he had not seen the wife but returned home to make him have a new spirit.

His gaze swept across the room looking for Caramel, last doing this he found Caramel unconscious on the bed. Therefore Rafka so panic if not immediately see the figure of Caramel.

"Caramel, what's wrong?" Rafka was shocked to see Caramel sitting in front of the door with tears streaming down her face.

Spontan Rafka dropped her briefcase and ran to Caramel, cupping her cheeks and seeing her cling to every part of her face. Rafka examines Caramel's body in fear that someone might be hurt.

Caramel fluttered she chose to fall into Rafka's chest to hug her, she did not know where to start. Caramel did not know what question he should ask Rafka because he had kept this big a secret to her. Caramel feels like he has been fooled when Rafka knows everything. But if you think about it this must be harder for Rafka, Caramel does not deserve to be angry.

"I'm sorry, Ka." Caramel's voice was hoarse from crying for too long.

"For what? why are you apologizing." Rafka takes off Caramel's embrace.

Caramel rubbed her tears, took a deep breath and exhaled her slowly trying to calm herself down.

"Rafsa .... " Caramel drew Rafka's hand, she placed a piece of paper on Rafka's palm in a slow motion.

Rafka frowned not understanding what had happened to Caramel to the point of crying like this.

"What?" Rafka was shocked, her heart racing to see the letter she once wrote to Caramel. Why is Caramel showing me the letter now? Rafka did not want to guess.

"It's a letter from you, isn't it?"

Like being hit by a hard object on the chest, Rafka was surprised. From where Caramel knew it when Rafka had been hiding it because he did not want Caramel to feel regret and heartache.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply Rafka at last.

"Why did you hide all this from me, have you no intention of telling me after we got married?" Caramel's tears welled up again, he didn't know how to explain his current feelings. Too sick and stifling.

"No." Rafka shook his head faintly.

"Why?" Caramel looked at Rafka sharply.

"Why do I tell you, it's just the past, let the past pass the most important thing now that we can be together."

"You're evil!" Caramel hit Rafka's chest not too strong because her power had drained to tears.

"How to calm yourself." Rafka leaned Caramel's head against his chest, "i just don't want you to regret knowing all this."

"Keep you're going to be sick alone?"

"Married to you is enough for me, after all if I tell you this fact you don't necessarily believe."

"So you think I am? you draw your own conclusions as if you understand my nature." Caramel raised her head slightly away from Rafka.

"No, you don't misunderstand."

Caramel looked up slightly trying to swallow back her tears. Caramel was about to move but he could not stand because his feet were numb and limp like jelly. With deftness Rafka catches Caramel's body and guides him to sit on the bed. Caramel nags in the heart, age cannot be lied to. His feet were numb from sitting folding legs for too long on the floor.

"Take it easy on yourself Caramel." Rafka again carried Caramel into her warm embrace. He knew Caramel had the right to be angry for hiding this from him.

Caramel closed her eyes feeling the calmness of being in Rafka's arms. Plus the smell of Rafka's body when he just came home from work made Caramel so enjoy it. Whether since when Caramel so very bucin Rafka until the smell of sweat alone makes Caramel crazy.

"Don't touch my feet." Caramel reminds Rafka not to touch her tingling legs. "If touched I'll kill you."

Rafka laughed, "well I won't get near your feet."

"How did you know it was a letter from me instead of Rama?" Rafka asked after feeling Caramel a little calmer.

"From the smell of your shirt yesterday, you said it was your perfume at High School, the smell of it I immediately inget the same letter, you deliberately spray perfume into the jar?"

"Yes, Danu said it was a strange scent but I still wanted to spray it so you know the character of the person who gave you the gift. I told you that I hate Papa so much because he fought with Mama on my big day."

"What day is it?" Caramel.

"The day I gave you the gift was your birthday, it was also the day you met Rama for the first time, there was an initial R on the letter."

"When I first met Rama and he told me his name, I immediately thought that Rama was giving origami."

"But Caramel, you missed one thing."

"What?"

"At the end of the letter I wrote, R from IPS."

Caramel smiled bitterly, maybe he was too excited to be unconscious.

You're an IPA kid?

Ja

Same dong, I'm also IPA.

He used to laugh when talking about it with Rama but now Caramel really cursed himself for ignoring such an important thing. Caramel was completely unsuspecting when Rama told him that their majors were the same. After meeting Rama for the first time, Caramel did not attach much importance to the contents of the letter. He has blinded the love and sweet words of Rama.

"Sorry I made you wait so long, thanks for your patience for twelve years waiting for me who even almost married each other."

"God is good, He doesn't let me wait for you in vain."

Love will never go wrong in finding its harbour. Sometimes it comes to another heart but eventually it will stay in the one place that is prepared for it.

Happy birthday to you!

I hope you're always happy because you're prettier when you smile, let alone laugh. It might feel awkward because it's the first time I've sent a letter. But I hope you're not disturbed.

Just like stars sometimes we need to be dark in order to see something invisible in the light. Stars never disappear from the sky only the sun has a brighter light making it invisible.

I give these origami so they can accompany you when you're scared in the dark. They can be your stars at night.

Let me tell you that dark isn't always scary with origami in this jar.

Meet me at Taman Pelita Nusa after school.

Greetings, R from IPS.
