Patience of My Husband

-

Ting tong's...

I flinched as soon as I heard the bell from outside. Instantly my fear burst out and made my heart beat faster. I sat on the sofa facing the still-lit TV. The bell was heard over and over again.

Ting tong's... Ting tong's...

In my mind, there appeared a shadow of Farhan's sinister face. I refuse to open the door.

"Iaanggg, what are you doing? Why don't you open the door." Shouted Arka from the crack of the bathroom door that she opened slightly.

"I ...iya .. yes .. I open" I replied nervously.

With fear I walked towards the door. And look who came from the peephole that was in that door. I breathed with relief after I saw that there was a woman I knew so well about. I quickly opened the door.

"Monika" Seruku.

"Sorry Mom, is my arrival disturbing?" Ask Monika.

"Oh. no. Not at all" I replied with a friendly smile.

"Soalya daritadi I pulled the bell but not also in the open"

"Oh. that.. justaiiii. I'm cool watching TV so do not hear with the sound of the bell" I lied.

"Oh that" Monika mangosteen

I pat my eel. " Ouch until you forget. Come on, come on in. The time we talked at the door" I said guiltily.

"Yes Mom. Thanks though. I also brought food for dinner. Last afternoon my mother cooked a lot when I said I wanted to meet Mr. Arka's wife. And I'm sorry if I couldn't reply to a chat from my mother" Monika explained.

"Waahhh. Say thank you to my mom. Btw, don't call mom dong. Not good to hear. Call aja Caca" I said as I received a bushel of food she gave me and let her sit on the couch.

"But it's not good either, my boss's wife's mother"

"When in the office it's okay to call mom. But if outside the gini yes do not. I am not in the office every day either. What's more now, Arka forbids me from going anywhere, so it's impossible for me to go to Arka's office. Call me Caca, I'd rather. Because it sounds more familiar" I said again.

"Okay, I mean .. Caca" awkwardly Monika mentioned my name.

"Oh there's Monika, what's up. Is there any work that matters?" Ask Arka who is dressed casually but still makes him look handsome.

"Nothing sir. I just came here to bring this food for dinner Mr. Arka and his wife" replied Monika.

"Repot-repot everything. But it's okay. It just so happened that we hadn't eaten either" Arka chuckled and placed her buttocks beside me.

"Honey, can you buy snacks or other snacks?" I asked so I could have a free conversation with Monika.

"That's still a snack, baby. I'll take it" Arka got up from her seat, I forgot that Arka had bought me all kinds of food.

Arka placed the snack in front of us, complete with her drink. "Thank you dear" I said. Arka nodded and smiled sweetly .

"Sir, I want permission. Can I take your wife out for a minute?" Ask Monika without hesitation.

"out? Where's where?" Ask Arka.

"I want to buy something"

"What's that?" Tanya Arka probing.

"Women's business only" replied Monika again who could not be denied Arka.

"That means men can't come?" Ask Arka

"What man is a woman?"

"It's obviously a man"

"Do you know the answer, sir?" Replied Monika who made Arka smile wryly.

"To you women can come out as you please. But can I ask you something too?"

"Well.what's the baby?" My solute.

"Before you go, we eat first. I'm hungry" Arka patted her stomach softly. Monika and I laughed at the same time.

"Ready sir" replied Monika.

How not hungry, maybe the last Arka ate breakfast. That's if he had breakfast. While this afternoon at work arka had not eaten at all. The lunchbox is still on the table. Must be stale.

We enjoyed dinner and of course three. At first Monika refused because she had eaten at home with her family. But due to the compulsion of Arka he was finally willing even though he ate only a few bribes.

"I go first baby" Pamitku a while after dinner and of course also after changing my clothes.

"Be careful, don't go home too late. I don't want you to get tired" Arka said.

Monika invites me to a small cafe where it is quite comfortable to relax.

"It's a good place" my compliments.

"Yes, even if I'm not young anymore. But I know how young people taste. I also don't want to be old. Even at my age now I often hangout with office temen. Exactly the subordinates are yes. Because I can't go with the boss. At first they felt awkward going with me. But over time it was they who took me away "

Monika and I chose a seat upstairs, so I could be more comfortable. "Then what about your husband did he not forbid?" Much

"My husband never forbade me to do anything as long as I could keep myself. We trust each other, that's all that can strengthen us. I also never forbade my husband to go anywhere and with anyone as long as he knew his limits" A waiter handed us a menu book.

"With women though??" Continue again.

"Hmm" Monika replied as she pointed at the menu and the waiter recorded her order as well as mine.

"Do you have no jealousy?"

"Jealous?? Of course we have. We are normal humans. But you need to know, our age is not an ABG who can change partners because he sees his lover walking with other women. It is precisely that jealousy that makes us better understand how much love between us. But we never thought there would be any betrayal between us. Because we trust each other" Monika explained.

"Oohh.so that's it."

"Okay enough.we're here to talk about Mr. Arka right. Not about me. Not enough time to discuss my household." Monika and I are getting along.

"Okay. but next time tell me again. I'm still curious about the continuation." I smiled smirkingly.

"Yes easy" Monika shifted her drink cup when the cafe waiter came to bring our order.

"So, is Arka any problem in the office?" I'm just impatient.

"Ehm. there's. Arka works quite well, even very well for a beginner like him. He can adjust to new places, new people. Even he could also solve a big problem in the company in a short time"

Monika was silent for a moment before she continued. He sipped the drink he ordered.

"A few days ago we had a meeting with one of the biggest investors in the company. Arka provides the best service. The investor introduced their sole heir. But the problem arises from there"

"Why could that be?" Askaqua.

"The heir was named Aira, a woman who had a beautiful face, flawless smooth white skin, long hair, and height as a model. The way it went was perfect. Which man would not be tempted to see such a woman. Moreover, he also has a very large bust." Monika's words I can't understand yet.

"Aira has just come from London because she has completed her studies there. Before he started working he wanted to take a vacation first to Bali. And Aira asked Arka to accompany her while in Bali . Mr. Arka subtly refused him and told him that he already had a wife even pregnant. But Aira doesn't care. Aira came back and met Mr. Arka in his room. He just kept seducing Arka sir. Finally, Mr. Arka's anger reached its peak. With a loud tone and pounding the table Mr. Arka drove Aira out of his room. At that time Aira also broke off the company's cooperation relationship. And stop being an investor in the company." Monika took another sip of espresso from her cup.

"Sorry Monika, do you know who this is from?" I asked because I wouldn't believe it. I'm afraid it's just a story from Arka.

"You yourself. Earlier when Aira came, the four of us were discussing the work on a new project in Pak Arka's room. Without excuse he went straight in and approached Arka. And this is the first time we've seen Mr. Arka angry" Monika continued.

"So you and the other colleagues saw firsthand?"

"he em" Monika replied with a nod.

I still can't believe Arka did that. But all of Monika's words are capable of making my heart flower. How not, my husband refused the invitation of a beautiful woman. And it makes my heart so happy.

"So the problem is just about investors?" My toot.

"Yes, Mr. Arka accepted the offer to handle a new project. And it requires not a little funding. We have submitted several proposals to several investors. But many refused. There is only one investor who wants to work with our company. After getting approval from investors, we immediately moved to work on the project. The project is still running for three days. And now there's a problem. If the project stops, the company will pay a substantial compensation"

"I'll pay for the compensation" I said

"Ca, this is no small matter. It's not about tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. But these are billions. do you have that kind of money?" Ask Monika who is so serious.

I shook my head slowly. I realized it was appropriate Arka was so upset when she came home from the office. It turns out that he is facing a very serious problem.

"Ca, you want to promise me no? I ask you not to tell me if you know about Mr. Arka's problem in the office. Because he himself does not want you involved with office affairs. I tell gini, because I hope you continue to encourage Mr. Arka. And don't add to the burden of the problem" Pinta Monika.

"Yes, I'll pretend I don't know. Thank you" I said.

Suddenly my stomach felt cramping and pain in the lower abdomen. I grimaced to hold him. "Ca, what's wrong with you?" Ask Monika.

"My stomach hurts" I answered.

Monika immediately got up from her seat and helped me stand up "We go to the doctor huh." Her speech.

"No need. I'm just going home" I said.

"But you..."

"I don't want Arka to worry" I said cutting off Monika's conversation.

"alright. I'll take you home"

We both left the cafe and headed to the hotel where I was staying. In the car I tried to relax to be calmer. Monika turned to me every now and then because she was very worried about my situation.
