Secluded Love
#136
Kaluarga Damar mourned, yellow flag mounted in front of Atikah home page.
Tired, sad all mixed into one in their minds.
I want to be able to fall asleep for a while but still not be able.
The body will be buried after sunrise and rising.
Until the dawn of the Adhan there are still many mourners coming.
Starting from neighbors, relatives, relatives to Atikah business partners during his life.
For Zara Atikah already like her birth mother, she loved Zara unconditionally especially after Kusuma died.
Likewise Ditya, he is Atikah's only daughter-in-law.
"Sir, take a break . ."
Juli said slightly whispering beside Damar.
I don't know how many times Damar read yasin to his grandmother.
"Just you, I still want to be here."
Damar replied in a pretty cold tone in July's ear.
Since news of Atikah's return, Juli feels that Damar has changed his attitude. Could he still be upset in July by a request that July did not immediately agree to.
Or Damar was just sad left by grandma.
"July, it's true what Damar said. You better go to the rest room huh ?"
Zara embraces Juli asking her son-in-law to take care of her health.
"July can not calm aunt, Mr. Damar must be very hit."
"Yes, but if you get sick later who takes care of Damar ?
You are now his wife."
That was true what her mother-in-law said.
Ah-in-law, husband, wife, July is legally married to Damar.
It is not happiness but sorrow that graces their feelings.
"July to the kitchen alone aunt, want to make tea for all."
Zara smiled, letting Juli do it.
In the kitchen, Kevin was sitting at the dinner table, starving to the point of boiling instant noodles.
"Don't be offended by Damar, he just needs time to accept Grandma's departure."
As if Kevin could guess Juli's heart, he didn't want Juli to be saddened by her brother's attitude.
"Tea or coffee ?"
Tanya Juli offers Kevin a drink.
"Tea, it's not good to drink coffee."
The answer is a thin smile.
Kevin was sad too, but he didn't want to be late.
He thinks it all happened by God's will. We just have to accept it.
Kevin's chance is gone with the grandmother.
"This . ."
Juli offers a cup of hot tea in front of Kevin.
"July !"
Call someone to a woman who is busy stirring sugar in a few cups of tea and coffee.
He looked at hearing his name called.
"Sir Damar, what's wrong ?"
Juli astonished the male, meaning her husband stood staring intently at her.
"I'm your husband, you should have given me first."
Damar snapped no matter what the situation at home was like.
Juli is shocked to hear Damar being cold to her.
What went wrong July so Damar turned 180 degrees.
"I'm sorry, I . ."
"Steach him give me first mas, I just finished eating.
You're sometimes like a little kid."
Kevin got up from the chair storing dirty dishes in the laundry.
"Inget, she's your wife now."
Whisper Kevin when he crosses paths with Damar.
After Kevin left them Damar still inhabited July,
July was confused.
"I don't like you being close to him."
Come out of Damar's mouth.
What went wrong from July, he just offered Kevin a drink.
Cook yes July must assume Kevin is not in his own home.
"I don't understand you, I don't know !"
Juli prefers to bring a tray of warm drinks to serve.
After speaking Damar even offended Juli. Hey lupakah him if they just became a couple.
Ah dizzy head Juli faced Damar.
Damar massaged his forehead, he was very dizzy.
The death of her grandmother causes her to lose control until she forgets Juli's position.
Damar should have made Juli happy for her to marry.
Moreover, they have not faced the consequences they have to face.
The July lecture that even his apprenticeship was still quite long.
His work may also be neglected in the next few days.
Damar must calm down, now he is the head of the family.
Try apologizing in July for his outrageous attitude.
He follows Juli to the living room asking for time in the guest room.
Zara highlighted their attitude something was wrong.
"What's up ?"
Ask July after the door closes.
Damar walked over, slowly hugging Juli's body tightly.
"I'm sorry, sorry if you're offended."
"I know you're sad, I hope you're calm there.
You're not alone here, please don't fall."
It was wise for Juli to deal with a small problem at the beginning of their marriage.
Juli understood how Damar was feeling at this moment.
All Juli needs to do is give her husband some support.
Damar commented on the proud smile of asking for a girl like Juli.
May they strengthen each other by extending a hand when one falls.
"Sleep for a minute ?"
Invite Damar to take off his embrace creating distance to look at Juli.
Juli nodded because she was tired yet to sleep.
There were still a few hours before they left for the funeral.
Damar also wanted to go to mama to wake her up when she was ready.
Juli sleeps in Damar's arms. The most comfortable new place for him to lean.
Her smile expands as she recalls they are now husband and wife.
"I miss my father. ."
Lirih Juli plays her index finger in the field of Damar.
"seriously ?
Is it still less close until you feel it . ."
Damar chuckles at Juli's confession.
"whatever. I'm devastated to see you sad."
Juli knows which self Damar might do in this situation.
May Juli spoiled asking Damar for a minute.
"Sleep, or you'll get dizzy later."
Damar tipped the tip of Juli's head patted her on the back to let Juli sleep.
☀️☀️☀️
The funeral lasted until lunch.
Already buried, sowing flowers also offer prayers for the late.
The crowd slowly spread out leaving the Atikah navel.
Many of the death processes that Damar and Ditya witnessed.
Zoya, Hafsari, Mahesa, Kusuma until that day Atikah.
"Sir, who is it ?"
Whisper July on Damar. What he meant was an old woman standing next to his Zara-in-law.
"That's Grand ma, Ditya's dad's mom. Grand ma is eccentric."
Damar chuckled himself introducing Aulia.
"I'm afraid sir, if grand ma doesn't agree you marry me how do I ?"
Juli looked at him worriedly. The problem is that Aulia looks super cool in July's eyes.
"Grand Ma knew well, he was the first person to approve of father-mother relationships."
Damar clasped Juli's hand to calm her down.
"Well we're home, it's getting hotter."
Take Ditya to his extended family.
Tiara was also present with Bara but had to pay back to duty immediately.
"Sir me today there is a meeting with a client Mr Malvin, can I go to work ?"
Heading to Juli's parking lot asking her husband's permission.
"You sure are strong ? Or I'll let Miley do it for you."
"No, I have to take responsibility for my duties. Today he said Adam's brother started working."
"Adam's friend Kevin ?"
Damar is shocked to hear that the DGC is recruiting a male who is also known to be quite close to July.
"yes, brother Adam. I think you already know about this."
July felt bad even though Damar was the largest shareholder in DGC.
"I have to be extra careful about you. ."
Damar looked at the side.
"I mean you're suspicious, don't believe it's the same wife ?"
Juli flirtatiously pinches Damar's stomach mercilessly.
"Aww sick Juls, out of you it likes to make me worry.
You were both the same Kevin this morning."
Damar is still talking about tea.
"He's your brother sir, cook I have to judge that same Kevin."
The two got into the car leaving the cemetery.
"Sleeping Juls, good rest."
Damar stroked Juli's head. Pity that he had to return to the office in an atmosphere of grief.
As promised in July, a meeting with a client at one of MHotel's mini meeting rooms.
The plan is they will rent some DGC shophouses to be used as public services.
Starting from supermarkets, fitness places to places to eat.
Juli has used herself to be smart at seducing people. In a sense he should be able to get a contract of cooperation.
"Thank you July. The day after we signed the contract at DGC, I loved your presentation."
Said one of the owners of a famous restaurant in Jakrta shook Juli's hand.
"same sir, glad Abuba could join us."
Juli greets every female client as well as any man older than her.
Damar watched behind the door. His wife has significant abilities, deserved he excels in the academic field.
But her heart was jealous to see Juli smiling at every man.
Only Damar should have gotten it.
Damar has to take a call when he wants to see Juli.
July briefly sees the shadow of Damar but none.
He returned to his room to meet new DGC employees.
