Not Ordinary Love

House Keys

Naina really could not believe it, if the person who was currently sitting beside her heading home was her husband. It's legal to be Naina's husband. Ethan–that man. The man he admired for loving his wife so much.

There was a great pounding on his chest remembering that. Even though Ethan seems to ignore his presence at all. The man kept staring out the window of the car.

Naina turned her gaze forward, Selin with Randy in front there was also just speechless. Naina knew they must be feeling awkward.

Zoya had gone home first with her own car. Ethan forbids and invites the woman to go home together. But Zoya doesn't listen to Ethan's request.

"Sir Ethan, Zoya has a reservation for lunch." tell Selin, even with doubts. He remembers Zoya's message before she goes home first.

"The place is safe" the woman continued, perhaps Ethan is worried about people's attention later. He did not dare to look back. Ethan turned his gaze forward with a flat highlight. Naina looked at the man. I think he knew Ethan's head so he spoke up.

"No need for Mrs Selin. We go straight home." he refused. He doesn't feel good for Ethan, but he won't be comfortable eating lunch in a restaurant wearing a kebaya. People will be amazed to see it, even worse, Naina is worried that people will wonder about what happens when they see Ethan later. They are not with Zoya.

Even if Selin says the place is safe, it's hard to believe that anyone can recognize Ethan easily.

"How about a walk?" tawar Selin who makes Ethan furious of course. The man chose to shut up and looked back out the window of the car, clearly rejecting Selin's offer and making Naina feel confident.

The husband next to her seemed to give a warning so that he would no longer speak or make any offers to Ethan.

Selin complied and was silent. He did not do it without reason. Because it is the desire of Zoya and Selin just trying to convey it. After that, silence continued to hit four people who were in the car.

Ethan is reluctant to speak while Selin and Randy are also silent, in contrast to Naina who can not get the words out. He just sat quietly enjoying the ride home.

Naina stared at her ring finger where a ring was coiled there, it was still like a dream considering that she was now legally a wife, maybe it would all be nice– if Naina met the right person–not Ethan.

***

While inside her house, Zoya who had arrived since half an hour ago at home immediately made a bed for the newlyweds who were on their way home.

Zoya changes bed sheets, tidying up the room at her best as Naina and Ethan spend their first night there.

Once it's felt if everything is in order. Zoya breathed a sigh of relief. Carving out a thin smile, until the next few seconds, the smile slowly dissipated. He stared at the room. His room is with Ethan, now he has to share a room with another woman.

Not willingly? Sure oes. Who is the woman who wants her husband and her room to be shared with other women? There aren't.

Zoya pictured again inside her head. The twists and turns he has with Ethan have made it this strong, he has already stepped up and made a decision. The only way is to survive and keep going.

As soon as she heard the roar of the car engine, Zoya walked towards the glass balcony door and opened the curtains. Frowning to find Randy's car entering the courtyard of the house, Zoya sees a circular watch on her wrist, just two o'clock in the afternoon. Shouldn't they be eating at the restaurant that Zoya has booked?

In the next second, Zoya came out of the room. Step up one step and open the door. "Are you home?" he asked in wonder at the four people who had just got out of the car.

"We don't have lunch at the restaurant." Selin who replied. Zoya was silent for a moment, staring at the disheveled-looking husband. He finally understood and nodded his head.

"Yes, in. We have lunch here anyway." take Zoya to the four who were immediately agreed with a nod of the head by them.

"Then let me cook." Naina said she quickly entered the house while dragging the dress she was wearing. Selin and Randy also nodded, then walked in unison into the house.

Just stay with Ethan and Zoya on the terrace. The two people just fell silent with their eyes looking at each other. Long enough drowning and preoccupied with each other's thoughts. A few seconds later, Zoya makes a thin smile and grabs Ethan's hand.

"You're great" he praised as he rubbed the man's hand in his hand, Ethan clasped Zoya's hand back, the man only let out a breath. Not a single word came out of his lips.

But then, the man walks into the house by pulling Zoya. No, not even just into the house. But get into the room.

"I have to help Naina cook." tell Zoya as soon as she gets inside the room. But Ethan ignored, the man took off the suit and tie he was wearing, throwing it in any direction.

"More important where? Me as your husband, or the groceries in the kitchen?" the man asked a nonsensical question until it made Zoya frown.

"Both are important." the woman said briefly.

"You have to choose one."

Zoya laughed at hearing that. Is the husband trying to melt the atmosphere that feels so stiff? Letting his mind rest for a moment from events and things that are hard to believe?

"I choose food. Because if I choose you, we will not eat." said Zoya, logical. Ethan frowned.

"Do you prefer groceries to me?" asked the man who then wrapped his hands around Zoya's waist. Zoya nodded proudly in response to her husband's question.

The hour hand continued to run for seconds as Ethan had already landed his lips on Zoya's lips, with one hand rubbing Zoya's back gently, then lowering the zipper of the dress the woman was wearing.

Zoya doesn't want to do it now. They have guests downstairs. But Ethan can't seem to be rejected, so all Zoya does is surrender when the man's hand leads his hand to remove the button of the shirt the man is wearing.

After replacing her danger with ordinary clothes, Naina began to struggle with groceries in the kitchen. Selin helped her, Naina had forbidden, because the woman was still in a state of cravings, surely Selin would feel nauseous when later smelled the aroma of cooking.

"It's okay I used to hold it." the woman replied when Naina forbade her to help the girl cook.

"You don't have to worry, Naina." continued peeling onions when you saw the look of Naina's heartless. Naina finally could only resign and continue her activities to quickly cook so that they would have lunch soon.

After all the cooking is done and served at the dinner table, of course, the three people wonder about the existence of Zoya with Ethan. The two human children never showed their noses.

Makes Randy think. But soon the man tepis his dirty thoughts. It's impossible not if they do it in broad daylight like this?

While Selin was just staring at Naina who seemed to be astonished at the two people as well.

But no, Naina was no wonder. He knew Ethan with Zoya, he knew. It did not feel strange even though the two people were spending the afternoon together on the bed. Naina smiled faintly given that, what right does she have to be jealous of?

His status as Ethan's wife will have no effect. Both to her and to Zoya, as Naina is only Ethan's contractual wife who will conceive the pariah's child and then divorce after giving birth. Unlike Zoya who incidentally is the man's soulmate. The whole world knows about it.

While in his room, Ethan only closed his eyes even though Zoya had repeatedly persuaded him to take a bath and have lunch together downstairs, everyone must have been waiting for them.

"Ethan, come on dong."

Persuade Zoya again, the man kept his eyes closed. Zoya knows the man is not really sleeping, even Zoya sees Ethan staring at her as she dresses up.

"Whatever, I want to go downstairs." resigned Zoya, tired of persuading her husband. He then passed after previously having a long sigh as soon as he saw the messy bed. He has prepared it for Ethan with Naina but Ethan makes it a mess with him. Looks like Zoya has to change her sheets again.

Ethan opened his eyes when the door closed. Zoya completely passed away leaving him, the man rubbed his face, then moved from the bed to the bathroom with a sense of laziness.

He looked at his face from the mirror. Sighing, as his hand was about to turn on the shower, Ethan noticed his wedding ring with Naina. He looked at the ring, it was still hard to believe if he now had two wives.

Ethan shook his head slowly. Then remove the ring and keep it on the edge of the sink.

After cleaning himself, the man changed clothes and will join the others for lunch, before he had time to take his wedding ring with Zoya then wear it. Then take something and pass.

Lunch was over when Ethan got there. All eyes were on the man, but Ethan immediately sat down. Randy shook his head slowly, apparently his dirty thoughts were right, as evidenced by Ethan's wet hair.

Seeing the husband watching Ethan, Selin's feet nudged her. Making the man look at Selin, Selin squinted and made Randy resume eating, ignoring Ethan and his dirty thoughts.

While Zoya scoops rice and some side dishes for the ptia. Lunch was full of silence, only the sound of the clinking of a spoon and fork with a plate that sounded so loud to each other.

Until Ethan thrusts something in front of Naina, making the girl look at him with a mouth that chews softly.

"This is the key to the house I promised as a dowry. It's a long way away, you can see it whenever you want."

"All the home supplies are in place, everything is complete." tell the man as Naina looks astonished. Naina who understood nodded her head.

"Thank You Sir."

"No need to thank you, it's yours."

Naina nodded faintly for this time, she smiled as she sat down with Zoya who was also looking at her with a smile.

Is it better for Naina to just stay at her house? It might be better because he doesn't have to meet Ethan and Zoya all the time.

He sighed, staring at Ethan's finger where a ring was coiled there. Then looked at Zoya where the ring she was wearing was the same as Ethan's.

Naina has to remind herself to be self-conscious when she sees Zoya with Ethan.
