Perfect Husband's

46. The Caecilian Apology

*"Are you crazy, Han? How can you take another vacation after your last vacation? Aren't you afraid of getting fired? Not to mention you'll be taking a month's marriage leave*" Aldo scolded from his phone. She already does not understand the way Hani's mind that looks very funny to Alex—calon her husband. Come to think of it might be the effect the girl has never experienced in terms of love.

Hani rubbed her earlobes that felt hot because she had heard the scolding from Aldo— her best friend since 10 minutes ago and the man did not even give her a chance to defend herself. Aldo was just blabbering from earlier and kept repeating the same thing over and over again.

"Are you not busy? I just found out you have some free time to scold me," Hani complained as she glanced at Chris sitting next to her. Chris looks not disturbed by the commotion made Aldo.

"Listen. If Federika's doctor asks me about you, I'll tell you the truth if you go on vacation to Paris with your boyfriend!" Threaten Aldo furious.

Hani sizzled softly, "If you dare to say that, I will kill him as soon as I get home. Remember that!" then cut the connection unilaterally.

Chris watched Hani who looked upset while grumbling indistinctly, but surely the woman was cursing at this time.

"What's wrong?" ask Chris while focusing on the wheel.

Hani shook his head, "It's not that important."

"Then why do you look so sorry? Even your forehead is wrinkled very clearly" Chris said.

Hani did not reply, he just muttered a little with eyes staring out the windshield.

"What makes you this loving to Alex?" chris asked with a curious face.

Hani looked at Chris suspiciously, "Why should you know? Do you like me?"

"It could be," chuckled Chris with a teasing look.

"Don't scare me Chris." Hani melihst Chris hesitated.

Chris just laughed out loud and they again wrestled with each other's thoughts again.

Alex stared at her reflection in the large mirror in her hotel room. After being satisfied with his appearance, he hurried to pick up his leather jacket along with the car keys and immediately left his hotel room. He has not been able to find Chelsa's whereabouts because he has to wait for Chris to arrive in Paris first. That means he's got some free time before Chris gets there. Not wanting to waste any time, Alex decides to go see Irene, her ex-lover.

After driving for 20 minutes, Alex finally arrived at a flower shop that was none other than the shop as well as the home of Irene and her mother. He deliberately parked his car near the store to determine if Irene still lives there. Waiting long enough, Irene's eyes could catch the figure of the person she knew very well, it was Irene's mother. Not being able to wait any longer, Alex chose to venture to meet the old woman who still looks healthy, just like 3 years ago.

Even though Alex's heart is beating right now, he has to deal with it. He doesn't want to be haunted by guilt and nightmares anymore. It was enough he was almost crazy because of it all. He wants to be free as soon as possible.

"Hallo, Aunt. Long time no see" said Alex with a sincere smile at the woman who was behind him.

The woman turned her head then a few seconds later her eyes spontaneously rounded even the bouquet in her hand fell on the sidewalk. "A-lex?" grandchildren doubt.

Alex gave a small nod and smiled, "Yes, Tan. It's Alex." It's Alex."

Alex is now sitting on a small sofa inside Irene's mother's flower shop while waiting for her to take a drink to the kitchen. He looked around the shop while smacking a bland smile. Seeing all that made him remember the memory when he often bought flowers in the store when the flowers were later given to the daughter of the flower shop owner himself. Remembering that made Alex chuckle a little.

"This is the drink, Alex." Irene's mother placed a cup of jasmin tea on a small table in front of Alex, "I remember you like this drink."

"Why are you here, Alex? Did you have a business trip here?" ask the friendly mother, still the same as before.

Alex smiled slightly, "Why is aunt still good to me after what I did to Irene? I feel I don't deserve to be needed like this."

"Don't be like this Alex. I never blamed you for what happened. Even Irene forgave you a long time ago. I think she'll be very happy if you meet her," replied the gentle mother.

"Do I deserve to see him, Tan? I ruined his life." Alex bowed, unable to look at Irene's mother's friendly face.

"You know, he really misses you, too. He was hoping you'd see him, but it turns out you haven't seen him in 3 years."

Alex looked at Mother in disbelief, "Irene misses me? I thought he hated me."

"He's fine Alex. Too bad he's not home right now. Come tomorrow, I'll tell him to wait for you tomorrow."

"Because of that incident, Irene stopped working. Then what's he doing now, Tan?" ask Alex.

Mother gave a sweet smile, "You just ask her directly tomorrow. I think it's better you know it than he does."

"Are you married Alex?" ask Mom finally.

Alex was silent for a while before finally answering, "Not yet, Tan. But I'm getting married next month. I want my aunt and Irene to come, but I'm too shy to invite you. I feel like I don't know if I can get married after what happened."

"Well, I'm glad to hear that. Your age deserves to be married. Congratulations Alex," said the gentle mother.

"I should have stayed married to Irene no matter what," Alex said guiltily.

Mom shook her head quickly, "Basically you're not a match for Alex. Irene is happy now, she also plans to get married next year."

Alex looked at the mother in shock, her mouth gaping but instantly changing into a relieved smile, "Thank God. I'm glad to hear it."

After chatting for a long time with Irene's mother, Alex went to the airport to pick up Chris who had just arrived. Alex rushed off and until an hour later.

Chris said he was waiting at a cafe inside the airport and asked Alex to meet him there. It didn't take long, Alex arrived at the cafe in question. He immediately saw the figure of Chris sitting on his back at one of the tables. But strangely he saw the figure of the woman with his best friend. He was not sure who it was because his face was not clearly visible.

It could be that he is flirting with women at a time like this, Alex sneered inwardly.

He walked over to his best friend and patted Chris on the shoulder, "Hi Bro. Direct acquaintance with bar— women" Alex's speech stopped when he saw the woman in front of Chris.

"Damn?! What are you doing here?" alex's hysterical exaggeration.

Hani grinned at Alex's expression, "You said I could come, that's why I came," he replied with a sinless face.

Alex stared at Chris.

"He forced me to come with me" Chris said quickly as he looked at Chris' murderous gaze.

Alex laughs falsely and squeezes Chris's shoulder so hard that his best friend grimaces in pain, "Why didn't you tell me?" he mumbled slowly, so that Hani would not hear him.

"Let's go, I'm hungry" said Hani innocently.

Alex immediately nodded, "Sure, dear. Here," he immediately pulled Hani's hand and held it. They go hand in hand, leaving Chris who has trouble pulling Hani's suitcase.

"When this is Hani's fault but why am I the victim?" grumble Chris, "basic, bucin!" he satirized while chasing two people who make out in front of him.

Before going out to eat, the three of them returned to the hotel to put the goods first. Chris was booking an extra room while Alex and Hani continued to chat casually.

"Come," asked Chris as soon as he got his room card.

Hani's eyebrows spontaneously linked, "Where am I?" tanyanya while thrusting her hand.

"You slept with Alex," said Chris. He's still upset about that. But it feels difficult to be thin on a woman as beautiful as Hani. If Hani is not his best friend's future wife, maybe Chris has pulled her into the room now. Bawdy? Indeed, everyone knows except Hani if Chris and Alex are very perverted people.

"Can't be!" hani protests, "Why should I room with Alex?"

"Calm down, honey. I'm not gonna do anything. Even if I'm a pervert, I'll hold him until we get married" Alex assures Hani.

Hani looked at Alex suspiciously, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, Honey. If you're uncomfortable, I'll sleep on the couch, you'll be in bed. Why me, because I miss you, baby."

"Don't tease me, Alex!" ketus Hani's. "If anything happens, I'll cancel our marriage" she threatened and walked away from Chris and Alex.

"I told you, you can't conquer Hani like that woman vying to sleep with you. You're helpless in front of him" Chris quipped.

"Why do you seem to know him better than I know him" Alex said, "but I'd rather have someone with me, not like you've always been alone" he mocked.

"Damn it!" maki Chris and the two of them laughed.
