Not Ordinary Love

Do Not Open Opportunities

Ethan walks casually down the basemant floor holding the car keys in his hand. His face seemed to continue carving out a typist smile, imagining the wife and impatient to get you with Zoya at home.

"Almost where, dad?" the man asked himself which places he would visit and what he would buy as souvenirs for his wife.

"I'm waiting for you to marry me. But you married someone else. When you need someone else to be second. Why wasn't I the one who was made the choice?"

"Why don't you look for me Ethan?"

Spontaneous Ethan stopped his steps and turned to the side where a woman with an all-black outfit was leaning against one of the basemant pillars right next to him with her hands crossed on her chest.

"Alexa," said Ethan, a little surprised to see the woman. Alexa stepped closer to the man and stood before him. "Ethan, Ethan." Alexa clucked by shaking her head, then her eyes looked at Ethan with a look of disdain.

"I heard you and Momy talking this morning." tell the woman.

"Why haven't you come home yet?" Ethan throws the question at the woman regardless of what Alexa has said before. He also seemed not surprised at all at what Alexa said.

"Why should you marry another woman?" alexa asked, still trying to catch the man.

"Why haven't you come home yet?" Ethan is still with the same question and irritates Alexa apparently.

"I just got home." Alexa replied in a tone that sounded annoyed. Last afternoon he wanted to meet and talk to Ethan but the man was preoccupied by his many jobs so Alexa decided to wait for Ethan's leisure even wait for the man until the night when she found out overtime alone. Randy went home first for his wife to leave the man alone in her study.

Alexa, who was waiting for Ethan's return in front of the man's room, watched Ethan's room, until when Ethan was about to go home, Alexa passed first and waited for the man in the basement of the building.

"Don't switch the conversation!" prevent Alexa from seeing Ethan's reaction that looks like it won't serve him. And that's what Ethan would do. Ethan does not want to involve other people in his household relationships so he does not need to serve Alexa.

"I know what's going on with you and Zoya, as well as your housekeeper." she re-opened her voice to lure Ethan.

Ethan nodded. "Then you know enough, don't do anything."

"Ethan–"

"Moreover doing chaos." continued the man while patting Alexa's shoulder and of course the action made the woman upset instead of playing. He does not like the attitude of Ethan who often treats him as if he is a little girl in the eyes of the man. The age difference is only one year and Alexa does not want to be different just because one year younger than the man.

"Do you think you and the secrets you're hiding are going to stay safe?" Alexa lashed out with brow furrowed. "Everything will be safe if we keep quiet." Ethan spoke up, clearly holding his anger in front of the blonde woman.

"I just don't understand Ethan, why are you doing such a hard thing. You have two wives?" Alexa had chuckled to make her sentence pause, so she then continued. "If your wife can't give you a child you should just divorce her!"

When Ethan clenched his hands tightly, even the books in his hands were visible. As much as possible he held back his anger.

"You talk Alexa, I'm patient enough." said Ethan in a tone that sounded vibrating because of the anger he was holding. "Don't say anything about Zoya. Don't interfere in our affairs and keep quiet!" then turn his attention in the other direction.

After a while, he looked back at Zoya and the mantab opened its voice. "If you go back to Indonesia just to make a mess, you better go back to America."

Alexa was annoyed at what the man said. "You kidding?"

"Don't bother me!" Ethan spoke in a threatening tone.

After adjusting his breath and controlling his anger, Ethan immediately steps towards his car leaving Alexa. Alexa sighed, she just stared at the departure of Ethan who ignored her. He knew what he said was outrageous, considering how much Ethan loved Zoya Hardiswara.

Again. Alexa gave a rough sigh, she brushed her hair back violently. Ethan thinks his arrival is to make a mess. His Mommy is here, it's only natural that he comes home. He also began his artistic career here, it is natural that he misses the land he is now on.

If his arrival coincides with the problems and secrets Ethan has, then all is God's destiny and Ethan cannot blame him.

No Naina opens the door, and no Zoya welcomes her with a warm hug as usual when she gets home from work.

"Zoya" he called the woman and checked the kitchen. But the kitchen was so deserted as uninhabited.

"Zoya's." Ethan called again to the woman as he walked one by one the stairs to the room. Perhaps Zoya is tired of waiting for her downstairs and decides to go back to the room.

The smile on Ethan's lips grew wider, preparing to meet the idol. Until a happy twinkle disappears slowly on his face when it turns out Zoya is not in the room.

Ethan begins to unsettle, he puts a plastic bag containing two special martabak boxes on the bed and checks the bathroom. And Zoya really wasn't there.

"Where is he?!" Ethan asked himself. If the woman has a job and is going home late at night then the woman must have contacted her so that Ethan would not feel worried.

But the eanita did not contact him at all for work. Moreover, the last time he spoke with Zoya this afternoon, the woman asked when he would return and would wait for him downstairs

Ethan sighed, thinking carefully about where Zoya was until he finally walked out of the room and walked quickly to the end of the hall until he arrived in front of a library door.

Ethan enters a password and enters right away when Zoya just exits the secret room. Ethan feels so relieved to see the woman, he spontaneously pulls Zoya's shoulder and grabs her lips full of longing and happy overflows.

While Zoya's body nailed to find the man's arrival, just as Ethan was nailing when suddenly his secret door opened and Naina appeared to come out of it.

Slowly, Ethan ends what he did with Zoya. It seems that Naina was very surprised to see his presence, especially when she saw the scene earlier, the atmosphere was suddenly awward, but Zoya looks worried because it has been caught by Ethan already brought Naina into the man's secret room.

Ethan's face also looks like a dislike, Naina guesses, making the girl feel bad to see Ethan, who seems to dislike finding out about the secret room and being there with Zoya.

"Euu, when are you coming home?" zoya asks, starting the topic to melt the polar-cold atmosphere between them.

"Must." Ethan said briefly like showing his anger and making the atmosphere back awkward. Zoya just shuts up after, her body sculpts, and so does Naina. The three of them were just silent in the room.

"Why didn't you just tell me?"

"Why should I say, anyway?"

"I don't think it's a problem, anyways it's Naina. Your wife!" said Zoya in an annoyed tone as Ethan reprimanded him because he had brought Naina into the secret room belonging to both of them.

Ethan sighed, rubbed his hair in a huff and looked at Zoya with a fierce look. "Are you just having a storm, no cape?" Zoya is not to blame. What comes out of his mouth does indeed manage to make Ethan confused, while Zoya's blood boils hearing Ethan's outrageous tone.

"Listen this!" ethan's Instruction.

"Zoya, I just don't like it if you open the door to someone else in something that's both of us!"

"I don't like it!" Ethan. Zoya is silent. He looked at Ethan deeply while perceiving what the man was saying.

What does Ethan mean by their marriage to both of them? Perhaps Zoya should not have opened the door for Naina to enter into her domestic relationship with the man.
