Not Ordinary Love

Definition of Pain

Naina grabs her phone which rings as she prepares dinner. The girl frowned as soon as she looked at the phone screen and found a new number contacting her. Long enough Naina was silent until then she shifted the green icon and slowly stuck the phone to her ear.

"Hallo" he said half in doubt, but the person at the other end did not speak.

"Hallo," Naina said again, at a glance she looked at the phone screen to make sure if the call was still connected.

"Hallo, who is this?"

"It's a prankster, huh?"

"Then let me turn off–"

"It's me Naina."

Naina pegged as her caller spoke. He heard the voice of the caller. He only realized that he gave up his mobile number when the man asked for it while they were watching a movie at the cinema.

"Mas Rival," Naina said softly. Rival at the other end sighed. "Hay Naina, this is me. I'm waiting for news of your decision, I can't wait. So I called you first." said the man, Naina just kept quiet.

"I also want to hear your voice" he continued.

"Am I interrupting?"

Naina was still silent.

"If it bothers me, I'm sorry."

"No papa, my mother." Naina answered quickly.

"I'm up front, can you open the door?"

"I'm sorry if it's a hassle."

"Huh?"

Naina with her heroic look stepped towards the entrance as soon as she heard what Rival said if the man was outside the house. Naina will make sure of herself.

"Yes. I'm in front of Ethan's house." said the man again. Naina opened the curtains as soon as she arrived. And it turns out to be true that Rival is outside.

Naina immediately closed the curtains quickly as Rival's gaze seemed to point at her. Simultaneously, Naina heard Rival giggle amusedly laughing at her.

"Open me the door, Naina." he said, the man actually saw Naina earlier. Naina was silent for a moment, what happened in the cinema days ago happened again. Naina's chest suddenly thumped without being able to control. Moreover, the Rival accent that uses the word 'me' makes it even more unusual.

"Naina," the man's voice again sounded behind the phone. Naina immediately opened the door with a downcast look, then raised her face when the door was wide open. He could see Rival standing before him with a faint smile. At the same time, both of them lowered the phone from their ears.

"Do I bother you?" ask the man. Naina shook her head slowly. "Please come in." Naina got away from the entrance, the man stepped foot into the house, Naina tailed behind him in an awkward state.

After what Rival told her in the cinema the other day, Naina never felt calm. Moreover, when the man told Naina to contact him if Naina had already made the decision to meet Rival's family.

Naina can't, even until this second she doesn't know what the answer is. And if Rival's arrival was to ask for certainty from her, then Naina still could not give any answer.

"Where are Zoya and Ethan?" asked Rival when he found the situation of a quiet house.

"Sir Zoya is with Ethan?"

Along with that, the house's wide open door makes the two turn where Ethan and Zoya appear from there.

That afternoon, when Naina excused herself to the toilet, she asked Randy to take her home. Once on the way, Naina sends a message to Zoya if she is not feeling well and decides to go home first.

Zoya is of course worried and asks Randy to drive Naina to the Hospital. But Naina refused, obviously. Because he's healthy, that's just an excuse because he actually wants to leave Ethan's room. She wants to leave Zoya with Ethan.

Abandoned Zoya and Ethan enjoy their time together. Ethan takes the woman on a date and walks around as soon as her job is over. Then came home late after the beach.

"Mas Rival." Zoya is a little stunned by the presence of the man, although in fact she does not need to be too surprised because she has seen the man's car in the courtyard of the house.

"Hay Zoya, Ethan. You guys just got home?"

Moments later, the four people were already sitting at the dining table with dinner dishes that Naina had prepared. No one opened the conversation, all the same as each other fell silent and started eating.

There was no sound except spoons and forks clanking on the plate.

In the past, the atmosphere when there was Rival was never this ugly, but now there is something that must be kept secret, both Ethan and Zoya feel awward with the presence of the man.

Ethan watched Rival occasionally turn his gaze to Naina. It was quite disturbing his eyesight. If Rival had made an attempt to approach Naina. It means Ethan can't let that happen.

If only the man really liked Naina and expressed his feelings for the girl. Then everything will become more runyam.

Ethan took a breath. In reality the man was late, because without Ethan knowing, Rival had already expressed his feelings for Naina even waiting for the girl's answer.

"Where's the company, Mas?" zoya asked, opening a conversation at dinner time at that time because it felt the dark atmosphere around them could not continue to be left if all just quiet each other.

Rival looked at the woman while holding back the movement of his hand holding the spoon. "Alright, Zeinn Group managed to maintain the company's performance in the current generation" said the man who then fed into his mouth.

Zoya nodded her head. Then asked again and Rival answered with details like before, until then Ethan joined the hoard and created a long chat that night at the dinner table.

Slowly, the originally frozen atmosphere turned liquid. At least, they were not like people who seemed to harbor hatred.

After dinner, Ethan and Rival sit on the front porch and enjoy the coffee Naina makes. While the women sit in the main room and are watching tv while enjoying a snack.

"Oh yes, have you been sniffing Na?" zoya asked considering that this afternoon the girl was not feeling well and went home first from the agency building.

"Euu, it's Ma'am. It's okay now,"

Zoya nodded her head, closed the book she was reading and looked at Naina. "If Mr. Arfat has found a replacement for Yara Narasatya, it is likely that three more days the team will be filming out of town."

"I'm with Zoya's mom?"

"You're at home, just take care of Ethan."

"But I'm Zoya's assistant" the girl wondered.

"No papa, I can take care of myself. I can also ask for help, Miss Selin or the crew. If you come, Ethan will have nothing to take care of "

"She can't just follow me out of town because of her work. The agency again recruited a new actress, so Ethan was busy." at length Zoya after she considered the conditions between herself and her husband.

"Two or three weeks, maybe even a month. We'll see the conditions. Because if possible, after from city one, we will go directly to city two so as not to go back and forth Jakarta." the woman recalled that Arfat had told the rest of the team two days before the Yara Narastya case was brought to the public.

Naina just nods her head, even though it feels like Zoya's departure will be very long.

"As long as I'm there, you can touch Ethan's clothes, you can take care of him." Zoya continued with a smile, though she could not hide from the look of her eyes. The pretty woman's eyes were too honest and easy to read.

Zoya grabs Naina's hand, grasps the girl's hand. "You should make the most of Ethan's time when I'm not around."

"I want you to conceive Ethan's child soon. I want us all to be free soon, Naina."

In the tenth minute when the two cups of coffee were equally the remaining half had started to cool. There was no sound between the two people even though only pleasantries were unnecessary, or even just a word.

Ethan was silent as to what was in his head. Just as Rival chooses silence, he is gathering the courage to tell Ethan that he will introduce Naina to his family as a future wife. Of course, as Naina's employer and her brother, the man must know about it.

"Oma Shanty how are you? I haven't visited in a long time." Ethan said, deciding to open the conversation first. Rival took a sip of his coffee before replying.

"Well, Oma Shanty is healthy." the man put his coffee mug on the table. "Oh, yeah, you know that?" tanyanya. Ethan. Then frown and shake his head.

"Next month will be held at our hotel." said the man. The hotel that Rival means is a hotel owned by the Zeinn family that has been established since Zeinn Andreas was sitting on a college bench.

Ethan nodded his head. He also heard the news from Dharma during a visit to Andreas' company last week.

After that, the mood went back to silence. The two people both lost the subject. Until the thirty second, the eyes of the two met each other, which finally made the two unable to avoid making a sound.

"You're still trying to get close to Naina?" ask Ethan. The question made the man curse himself. Why should he talk about Naina?

Rival was silent before replying, the man first nodded. "Hmm, I plan on introducing Naina to my family. Papa's been urging me to get married."

"What do you think. You and Zoya used to support me to get close to Nain–"

"No! Can't!" prevent Ethan, spontaneous and make Rival surprised because the man shouted, Ethan himself also looked surprised at what he did.

Rival frowned looking at the man.

"Makdud you?"

"No, I mean–euu, I mean." Ethan is laid out in brick and makes Rival wonder in his place. Ethan cleared his throat to ease his nervousness. He leaned his back against the back of the chair and momentarily turned his attention in the other direction.

***

Rival returns home when Zoya has gone to the room when it is late at night, tomorrow morning the woman had to come early in the morning to the set to catch up with the scene that was postponed yesterday due to the Yara Narasatya incident.

While Naina tidied the terrace table while taking two cups of coffee used by the two men. Ethan just sits on the patio chair as Naina picks up a coffee cup. The state of silence that often occurs makes Naina's awkwardness inevitable.

The girl hastily picks up a coffee cup to leave Ethan, not liking being stuck with him in silence. But it turned out that his quick movements actually made one of the cups in his hand fall and break when the cup hit the floor hard.

Naina hissed, hurriedly crouched down to pick up the broken glass, but Ethan's hand quickly grabbed her hand. Holding Naina's hand and making the woman turn her attention to the husband. A husband she cannot claim to be her husband.

Naina was only silent as the man's eyes pointed unusually at her. "Rival asked you to meet his parents?" the question the man asked was unexpected. Naina lowered her head, then lifted her back up and nodded her head with a look toward Ethan.

"What's your answer?" the man asked as he removed Naina's hand from his check and began picking up the scattered glass shards, not letting Naina do it. Before long, the man looked back at Naina. Waiting for the girl's answer.

"I haven't made a decision yet."

"You're considering it?"

Naina nodded, spontaneously making Ethan grieve. "How could a married woman consider a dating offer from someone else?"

"Mas Ethan let me down?" naina asked, the girl was offended by what Ethan said. Naina felt even more humiliated when the man did not answer her as if justifying Naina's question. Irritated, the girl followed the shards of glass, her eyes immediately glazed with pain in her chest, the clear crystal that filled her eyes made her look blurred to accidentally injure her hand.

"Naulina." Ethan quickly grabs the girl's hand when he sees fresh blood coming from one of Naina's fingers, but Naina appears to be in no pain at all. Because the wound on his finger was not worth the wound on his heart.

He takes his eyes off Ethan, not wanting to see the man, but when Ethan helps him to get up, Naina refuses, he moved when he took her into the house and sat on one of the couches in the main room.

Without saying anything, Ethan leaves and returns with a P3K box in his hand. The man painstakingly treated the wound on Naina's finger. While Naina is still just throwing her eyes off Ethan.

It makes Ethan look at Naina pity, he remembers what Randy often said about the girl. Especially this afternoon after the man drove Naina home.

"Than, I'm talking gini as a friend. I know it's not easy for you to get attention from Zoya to another girl. But anyway, Naina is your wife. If you can't love her as much love and affection as you love Zoya, you should be able to take care of her feelings."

"She's your wife, she'd be jealous if you saw Zoya's affection."

"I know your marriage is just a deal. Just black on white. But during the wedding, you have to treat Naina well. Benefit the time you have with mutual respect and love."

"Naina might not be able to say it, but I'm pretty sure that she actually wants you to treat her as well as you do with Zoya."

Randy ends his advice while patting Ethan on the shoulder with a smile, at which time Ethan says nothing. He just does not want to add to the problem, if he treats Naina the same as he treats Zoya, Ethan is afraid that Naina is misunderstood.

But anyway, Ethan understands what Randy is saying. The man is right, Naina is his wife, Ethan has to keep the girl feeling. But on the other hand, Ethan always thinks that Naina can't be jealous. Given that the girl is unlikely to fall in love with him and Naina knows very well how much she loves Zoya.

Ethan awakens from his daydream when he hears Naina's prank. He only held the hand of the girl he had finished treating.

"I'll take you to the room." said the man, who got up from his seat. But Naina just sat quietly in her position.

Ethan sighs, grabs Naina's body and lifts the girl, making Naina surprised of course for the man's actions.

"Mas Ethan," Naina beat the man's chest asking to be taken down, but Ethan didn't budge. Keep her feet up until she arrives at the girl's room and lays Naina's body on the bed.

After that, the girl just pecked and did not make any more contact, even the tears that originally flowed profusely flooded her smooth cheeks suddenly dry like drought. While Ethan just stood beside his bed with an illegible look.

Shortly after, the man sighed. Then sat down beside Naina and enveloped the girl. "It's late, sleep." he said, Naina who is still just silent. But slowly, his eyes closed. As he slowly entered the dream world, a soft object landed on his forehead warmly. The girl's smile was etched into her subconscious.

Ethan grabbed the girl's blanket, turned off the lights and walked out of the room. When his feet stepped out, he saw his beloved wife already standing there staring at him. From what Ethan can deduce, it seems that Zoya has stood up long enough to see it all. Everything was.

Look what he did to Naina.
