Not Ordinary Love

Expressing Feelings

Filming went well for thirteen days. The sometimes rainy weather is not an obstacle, does not break the spirit of all members. The fighting spirit of all team members is burning and produces cooperation with results that deserve thumbs up.

For the previous few days, grief was still felt between them remembering the team members who were gone. However, all must not hinder their steps to continue to succeed the film project that has been pioneered with great expectations.

Everyone worked hard. The crew works as much as possible, as well as the players who are so totality in acting. There was nothing between them, all working together, but Arfat advised them not to rush. Because the maximum result is the most expected, do not get because of the rush, the results obtained do not match the expectations and struggles they have done.

During that time, Zoya did not communicate much with her husband. He is busy with his filming activities and Ethan is also busy with his work.

However, Zoya knows the man. Ethan won't be away from him for long, so every two or three days, no matter the time, the man always came to the villa or to the set either day or night.

"I'm sorry that I've been interrupting your downtime" is a phrase Ethan used to say when he came to Zoya, and even the woman was tired of hearing it.

The first time the man came and found him with Edrin, Ethan returned to Jakarta the next day. What he feared that night was lucky not to happen, Ethan was not angry at Edrin at all let alone beat up the man. Ethan did not do it, he just glanced sharply and implied a dislike highlight to Edrin, that's all.

"Two days away we leave the city." said Irpan that afternoon when they had just finished taking the day.

"Good work for all of us." he praised appreciatively.

"We continue filming for tomorrow, the last day." he said again to all the team members, those who were cleaning the equipment and some were resting smiling and raising their thumbs.

Zoya stretched her body, then sat on a black outdoor folding chair and closed her eyes. His body is very tired but there is satisfaction for him every time he plays the character of Rain. Zoya smiled, she was very totality to play the character of Rain, she hoped her struggle in accordance with the expectations of the audience later.

"More."

Zoya opened her eyes as Selin thrust a cup of warm drink at her.

"good job. I'm satisfied to see your acting." praise the woman who then sits on another folding chair next to Zoya.

"Satisfied, Mother?" zoya asked with hopeful eyes, then sipped her warm drink. Selin nodded with a confident look.

"Hmm, Mbak sure the audience will be satisfied to wriggle your acting with Edrin later. Totality." decanted with his head nodding.

"The character of Rain will be the same as Angkasa attached to the memory of the audience." he continued. Sounds so hyperbole.

Zoya smiled with satisfaction, sipping her warm drink with foresight and looking at Alexa with Edrin who was sitting in another chair under a tree.

Zoya smiled, when was the last time she saw the two men arguing? It feels like a long time ago. Alexa with Edrin actually looks more familiar every day. Even a few days ago when Alexa had fallen ill, Edrin who painstakingly took care of the woman.

If while filming chemistry between Zoya and Edrin is so strong as Rain and Angkasa, then outside the set, it is precisely the chemistry of Alexa with Edrinlah who is strong, as themselves.

Even later it is known if the two people know each other's cellphone passwords. Maybe the two people had something that others still see fifty-fifty.

"So familiar, you!" decak Alexa as Edrin points at sepatunyan with her feet. Edrin was screeching, though his intentions were good to tell the woman if her shoelaces came off.

Alexa rolled her eyeballs and fixed her loose shoelaces. While Edrin grabbed the woman's phone and opened one of the chat apps. The man clucked at the contact of his name on Alexa's phone.

His fingers moved nimble typing in the phone keyboard, as soon as Alexa finished tying her shoelaces, Edrin put the woman's phone back. Alexa stared at her phone, grabbed it and put it in her pants pocket after confirming nothing had changed.

While his eyes squinted at Edrin who was cool with his cellphone.

"How about shooting tomorrow for a walk?" asked the man who then also put his phone into his pants pocket, the look on the man's face was so relaxed.

"Big. Beres filming tomorrow like a break is more important to get ready to go out of town." said the woman indifferently. He narrowed his eyes at Alexa, while Edrin frowned.

"The same challenge will be even more devastating!" the woman's voice was low, unfortunately when the woman blinked her eyes, the performance of Edrin's heart beat faster than usual.

Damn again, the woman just passed from his presence and made Edrin only able to look at the woman's back.

***

For over a week now, while Zoya is away from her, Ethan is used to sleeping in Naina's room. He only occasionally sleeps in his room if he has a lot of work and requires him to overtime in the library until late at night.

Naina spent a lot of time with the man. Almost every morning, he prepares Ethan's work clothes. Very fun thing to do.

However, Naina is not completely bid to feel comfortable position as a wife, because Ethan's attitude often still leads to full attention to Zoya even though the woman is far from them.

The man who regularly visited the set of Zoya even though he had to travel that took more than three hours, making Naina feel disturbed. Makes it seem like it was not considered by the man.

Surely it makes Naina feel hurt, while she can't tell the man how she feels when Ethan would rather go to Zoya after work than enjoy dinner with her.

Time showed at two o'clock in the morning when Naina opened her eyes when she felt movement behind her. He turned around and saw Ethan lying there. The man who slept on his back turned his head.

"I'm disturbing your sleep?" asked the man, Naina shook her head. "I haven't slept yet."

"Is the work done?" naina asked, remembering that some time ago the man told her to go to the library to finish her work.

"Already." the man said briefly. Naina tilted her body, looking at the man. Ethan turns to the girl when Naina just looks at him.

"Can't you sleep?" ask Ethan. Naina nodded. Ethan tilts his body, the eyes of the two look at each other in a straight line, until Ethan's hand is stretched out to tidy up the girl's hair, while Naina closes her eyes. When he felt his blood flow warm up instantly.

Then, the girl's eyes opened slowly. His hand held Ethan's hand which touched every inch of his face. "Mas Ethan isn't sleepy yet?" he asked, but Ethan kept silent, only staring at the girl until the distance between the two slowly eroded.

However, a loud ringing phone interrupts the two, causing Ethan to spontaneously rise from his position and reach for the phone.

"Who?" asked Naina who also sat down from her lying position.

Ethan stares at the phone screen, then looks at Naina. "Zoya's."

For a moment Naina just stared, until her eyes moved as soon as she saw Ethan about to get out of bed.

"I'll pick up the phone first. You sleep first." he said, wiping the top of the girl's head and passing out of the room.

"Hallo, you haven't slept?" Naina can still hear the man's voice as Ethan closes the door.

Naina was only able to sigh. He drowned his face in the pillow with a cocky feeling. Zoya is always the winner in Ethan's heart. Naina can't match him, or get rid of him.

What can Naina expect from her marriage to Ethan? There is absolutely nothing.

The girl has fallen into her own feelings, she forgets one thing if the reason is married to Ethan because she wants to help Zoya and Ethan. He wants to return the favor because Zoya saved his life.

Naina forgets herself and becomes greedy to get Ethan's attention.

He can't sleep and waits for Ethan to return to the room, but until morning, Ethan doesn't return at all. Naina finds the man asleep on the sofa in the main room with a cell phone on his chest.

Then, when the man's phone was on because of a message coming in. The front screen of the man's phone made his heart ache because what he displayed was Zoya and Etha who were posing with happiness.

On the other hand, Rival still continues to charge Naina's answer to the choice the man gave.

Unlike the Rival who greatly appreciated his existence. Naina remembers carefully how their encounter began. Naina recalls how the man was always there when she needed him.

Naina recalls that what she needed was not just the person she loved. But what he really needs is someone who loves him.

Ethan is busy working after dinner and Naina returns to the room. He decided to contact Rival and give him the answer.

Naina had already considered it and she felt confident in her choice to be with Rival. Together with the people who want him.

"Hallo, Naina." Rival's cheerful distinctive voice as he raised a call from her made Naina carve a thin smile on her lips reflexively.

"Hay Mas Rival. Where else is it?"

"Hmm, I'm on my way somewhere. What's up?"

"Hm."

"What's Naina?" the man looked curious.

"Someone I want to talk about."

"Hmm, okay. I listened. What's?"

"What did Mas Rival offer when we were in the cinema still apply?" tanyakanya. Naina could not see how Rival's face looked at the moment. But for sure, Naina was quite sure that the man was currently smiling.

"Of course you still have an answer?"

"Hmm, I'll be at my destination soon." he said.

"Here you go, my mom."

"So what's your answer?'

"Mm, I'm willing–"

Naina rounded her eyes when the phone she was originally in changed hands, and she saw Ethan in front of her with a cloudy look and a creepy look.

"Cumshall, Naina. Ready what?"

"Naina, hello. Did something happen?"

Ethan immediately disconnects the phone and throws Naina's phone into bed. Make the girl just peek in her place.

"You crazy, Naina?" Naina knew it was not a question, so she just silently looked at the man with her chest pounding, her eyes already glazed over. He is afraid of the deadly stare Ethan gives.

"You want to accept Rival's offer to meet his family? What do you want to do about it?"

"Am I wrong?" Naina yells angrily at the protest Ethan gave her.

"I do it for my own happiness. Am I wrong!"

"WRONG!" Ethan shouted back.

"Wrongly because you are my wife!" the man said with great pressure.

Naina turned her attention in the other direction with a smirk smile, her tears already flowing profusely and flooding her smooth cheeks. After a while, he gulped, sure enough to have braced himself for an argument.

"I'm Ethan's wife. But Ethan's not my husband even though Zoya's mom isn't in this house!" Naina yells. Ethan was silent.

"Mas Ethan thinks I'm not hurt when you're squirming with Zoya's sister who is often affectionate in front of me? Ethan thinks I've never been jealous of you guys squirming together, huh?"

"Once, Ethan thought about how I felt. Did Ethan ever think of me, huh?"

Ethan nailed in his place. He shook his head, dismissing what Naina said with a different look.

"But I married you not out of love, Naina. I married you on the deal we made even on the signature you signed!"

"I think you've misunderstood."

"Isn't the condition that Zoya proposes not to have love between us?" at length Ethan who began not to understand the direction of Naina's discussion.

"Maybe Ethan could be like that. But I'm not Mas. With us sleeping and spending time together, Ethan thinks I'm not going to fall in love?" Naina ventured into expressing her feelings. Emotions he can't control make him free to say whatever he wants.

"I'm already falling in love with you." the girl wiped her tears as Ethan still looked at her with a clueless look.

"But I know myself enough. I can't belong to you at any time, that's why I need Mas Rival."

"Because I realized, I need people who really want and love me."

"Mas Ethan is calm, I'm not going to tell Mas Rival about our contract marriage. I'm just gonna tell Mad Rival that I'm ready to be known to his family, if Mas Rival is sure to marry me. I'm gonna have time until our deal is done." at length the girl with complete confidence. As Ethan clenched his hands before him, the man's eyes turned red with a flat look that was harboring anger.

"So, what do you want from me Naina?" ethan asked, the man's gaze made Naina take a step back. Ethan's smirk makes him retreat to the edge of the bed when he no longer has a foothold.

"What do you want?"

Ethan approaches the girl and advances his face to the point that it is barely within Naina's distance.

"Mas Ethan!" Naina gave the warning with a hand that held the man's chest back. But what Ethan does is brutally assault Naina's lips, causing the girl to rebel and beat Ethan up, ethan is deaf until the man is awakened by the breaking of the door of Naina's room which creates the sound of the door hitting and dinking so loud.

Naina pushes the man away until Ethan shakes away from her as soon as the man is off guard.

Not yet Naina set her breathing in disarray, the presence of a door-breaker makes him and Ethan peck in place with his chest pounding.

He's with Ethan caught red-handed.

"Mas Rival."

Just like Rival who also just looked at what happened between Naina and Ethan.

"You guys?"

Waah, daebaak.
