Not Ordinary Love

Love Games

Rival is driving his car to Ethan's residence when his phone rings and it turns out that the caller is the person he will visit because the two have not met for quite a long time.

With a cheerful look, Rival immediately put on his airpods. "Hallo, Naina." he said to the girl with a sweet, fluffy smile.

"Hay Mas Rival. Where else is it?" Naina greeted back and asked, her tone sounding a little nervous even making Rival link his brows.

"Hmm, I'm on my way somewhere. What's up?" a frown is created on Rival's forehead, as he is eager to find out why Naina contacted him given that it is so rare.

"Hm."

"What's Naina?" Rival was curious because the girl never gave the answer. Rival slows down the speed of the car to hear Naina's voice.

"Someone I want to talk about."

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

"What did Mas Rival offer when we were in the cinema last time still apply?"

For a moment Rival fell silent. There are two possibilities that could have happened if Naina already had an answer to the choice that Rival had proposed weeks ago. But strangely enough, he smiled because Naina was really thinking about her offer.

"Of course you still have an answer?" Rival asked later, not wanting to make the girl wait for her answer for long.

"Hmm, I'll be at my destination soon." he told me later when he confirmed that the car he was driving would soon arrive at Ethan's house. And they will soon meet and discuss this in person with each other face to face.

"Here you go, my mom."

"So what's your answer?" rival asked, he held back his smile waiting for Naina to answer.

"Mm, I'm willing–"

Rival who had originally developed his smile had to frown once Naina's voice disappeared suddenly.

"Cumshall, Naina. Ready what?"

"Naina, hello. Did something happen?"

There was no answer, a few seconds later even the call was cut off unilaterally, so Rival chose to take off his airpods and throw them on the dashboard of the car, driving his car at high speed to get to the destination immediately.

He feels that something is wrong, Naina could be in danger right now considering that Zoya is out of town, maybe Ethan's still in the company and hasn't come home yet so the girl's just home alone. Only it crossed Rival's head so that he did not care about anything and continued to drive his car.

While at Ethan's house, the man intends to visit Zoya to the set and go home the next day in the afternoon because tomorrow is Zoya's last day filming in the summit area.

Ethan wants to go to Naina's room and say goodbye to the girl, but what he hears leaves him disappointed when Naina talks to Rival and discusses something the girl should have avoided.

Ethan is angry, of course, his promise with Naina is still long. The girl can't just get away from him. But without Ethan thinking, the response that Naina gave actually made Ethan stunned.

"One day later, when I have fulfilled the wishes of Mas Ethan and Ms. Zoya, you will throw me out, right?"

"You're gonna make me go away from your lives!"

"Of course I should have a backup plan. I must have a life too!" Naina screams hysterically. An expression that even Ethan only knew if the girl had one.

"Then what do you want from me, Naina?" ethan asked, he stepped closer to the girl who was already sitting on the edge of the bed.

"What do you want from me?"

When there is no answer at all from Naina, without cue. Ethan attacks the girl, her patience is exhausted, her emotions are ignited by what Naina keeps saying. It doesn't make sense to Ethan.

Ethan doesn't even care when Naina keeps beating her chest and occasionally shouts as Ethan attacks the girl's collarbone.

While out there, Rival who just arrived at Ethan's yard parked his car. He immediately barged in, lucky that the door was unlocked. He spreads his gaze all over the house and searches for Naina's whereabouts.

Then he heard the screams of the girl from his room. Rival immediately ran to the girl's room, without thinking for a second he immediately broke down the door thinking it was locked.

However, what he saw as soon as the door managed to break down made Rival nail in its place. He catches a glimpse of Naina inching away from Ethan after pushing the man's chest.

Then, Rival cast his glare at Ethan who was looking at him with an illegible look. Without warning, Rival approached the man, pulled Ethan's front shirt and slammed a punch in the man's face. Ethan did not fight.

Naina who saw it some time sculpted. He is happy that Rival saved him from the unpleasant actions Ethan did. However, Naina also could not let Rival continue beating her husband.

"Mas Rival, it's over, Mas." he tried to break up the man. But Rival is crazy, and continues to beat Ethan blindly.

"Mas Rival!"

Bugh.

One blow from Rival managed to hit Naina's face and made the girl fall to the floor.

"Naaina!" Rival was startled and spontaneously crouched down to confirm the girl's condition. Naina grimaced feeling a pain in her cheek. While Ethan who was about to see the condition of the gadus quickly got a edge from Rival.

So the man chose to step back and get up from his seat. In the blink of an eye, his tidy appearance became messy with a torn wound on one corner of his lips as well as a temples that were spitting out fresh blood.

"Naina you're not papa, I'm sorry. I was not intentional."

Naina shook her head. "I'm not papa, Mum."

Rival also got up after confirming Naina's condition and pulled Ethan's sleeve as the man was about to leave. "How are you doing behind Zoya, Ethan?" the look Rival gave out was so demeaning.

Rival smirk's. "What happens if Zoya finds out about this, Ethan?" Rival spoke up again. Naina just shut up and looked at the two, while Ethan was also silent.

"We'll see how Zoya reacts when she finds out how her husband's depraved behavior is" this time the man pulled out his cell phone and looked for Zoya's contact. Given how Ethan lowered Naina earlier, it felt like Rival's blood was boiling, his head felt like it would break and his anger was rising without being prevented.

Ethan's turn to look at the man's behavior. This certainly makes Rival surprised. How can Ethan stay calm when his beloved wife will know how he behaves behind the woman.

"Tell Zoya what's going on right now" she said. Seeing something strange, Rival turned his gaze to Naina. However, when he finds the girl who is only silent, Rival who has contacted Zoya then disconnects before the call is connected.

Rival looked at Ethan and Naina alternately with questioning gazes. He feels being played.

"What happened between the two of you?" rival asked with a grin on his face. He felt like a fool if his mind was right–but as much as possible Rival tried to brush it off.

Ethan exhaled. He grimaced as he felt a pain on his lips. "I'm with Naina married." said Ethan in a resigned tone.

Rival was glued to his place. He was like a statue, even shaking his head to shake off what Ethan said Because really, it just doesn't make sense. Far from what he thought.

Ethan and Naina just exchanged a glance. Then turned his gaze to Rival who was still digesting the meaning of Ethan's words.

Ethan then continues his steps to find evidence so that his brother believes what he says.

Wedding photos and marriage contracts are the most powerful and accurate proof that Rival can see.

He could not avoid the fact that Naina, the girl he wanted to edit, was the second wife of his own brother. Ethan's wife.

Rival hit the handle of his steering wheel many times, he pulled over the car and even banged his head on the handle of the steering wheel several times.

"I hope you didn't tell anyone this" Ethan said after believing Rival believed he was married.

"I was expecting that, Rival. Please." Please."

"You and Zoya are really crazy, Ethan!"

"We have no other choice. You won't understand Rival."

Rival grumbled remembering that. It's hard to believe that her Naina is married to another person. It was hard to believe that Rival had it too late.

His phone that rang made the man reach for his phone that was on the dashboard of the car. Zoya's id adorns her phone screen. Rival first set his breath before then he shifted the green icon and stuck the flat object in his ear.

"Hallo, Mas Rival. What's the call?" the woman's voice greeted him and asked. Rival had a smirk smile before then answering. "Oh, it's okay. I want Ethan's name, I forgot that you're filming out of town" he said.

"Ohh, I'm Rival on Ethan. What's up?"

"The phone can't be connected?"

"Yes. But now it can. Thanks, sorry to interrupt."

"Oh, that's it, Mas. Okay, that's okay."

The call was interrupted afterwards, Rival leaning his back backwards with his eyes closed. It was like being in a real nightmare.

Imagine again how awkward the three people were Naina–Ethan and Zoya when she returned to Indonesia.

Rival grieves as he remembers the day he met Naina in front of a shopping mall. When the girl said her phone was left at the airport. Rival was not misheard at that time, Naina was really at the airport.

On the day of her return, it turns out that the girl is on her honeymoon with Ethan. Naina had never been out of town or home at the time. Zoya had lied to her, Naina had fooled her.

They conspired to fool Rival, they succeeded. Ethan's response was very different when Rival asked for his opinion to apply for Naina. There is a big secret they are hiding.

***

After Rival's departure with a look of disappointment left Naina and Ethan, the two people just fell silent in the main room of the house.

Naina then moves on and returns with a P3K box and also a bowl of ice cubes. Before long, the girl left again and came back again with a compressing pad.

However, she could not let the wound on her husband's face go untreated. So Naina is very happy to treat the man's wounds even though she feels disappointed in the attack Ethan did to her.

He reminds me of Kevin Raharasja. The man who nearly abused her. Ethan really traumatized her.

"Mas Ethan's wounds must be treated" he said, who then sat before Ethan. Ethan doesn't shy away when Naina treats his wound. He only grimaced once in a while when Naina gave the red medicine to his wound.

"I'm sorry, yeah." said Naina regretfully. Even if Ethan's actions to him are wrong, but he himself is the one who provokes it to happen. Naina is aware that she is the one who invites trouble.

"I shouldn't be selfish. I have no right to sue anything from Mas Ethan to Zoya. I should have remembered that I owed Zoya the same life." said the girl at length. But Ethan was silent, not reacting even the face of the man was flat, giving him no expression at all, leading Naina to conclude that the man was angry with him.

Ethan must be angry and hateful.

"Mas Ethan can forget what I said some time ago, Mas Ethan can assume that this never happened" he continued even though Ethan did not respond.

"How's it?" Ethan asked. Naina looked at the man, then quickly brushed him off as her feelings began to fade.

"How do I behave as if this never happened when clearly, the trace of the incident is on my face" continued the man who finally made Naina speechless.

The girl resumed her activities of treating Ethan's wounds. Until the final touch, he put the plaster on the wound in the man's temple.

"Just think about it, I never said anything. I promise, once our agreement is done, I will go far away from your lives. I promise I won't macem until our agreement is done." he said again who then just left before Ethan with a thousand shadows– movement very quickly, but Ethan holds the girl's wrist no less quickly than Naina's evasive scourge.

Naina looks doubtful, knowing Ethan will be mad at her. That man couldn't have simply embraced it that easily. Naina looked at the man with a nervous look.

"Your wounds must also be treated. Or tomorrow the wound will swell." said Ethan as he pulled Naina's hand to get the girl to sit back. But Naina knows that Ethan seems to avoid eye contact with her.

Ethan takes an ice cube and sticks it slowly on Naina's cheek. When Ethan's eyes point to some drugs on the table that would be suitable for Naina's wounds, the girl's eyes are fixed on Etgan.

Why does this man's attitude often make him misunderstand?
