Secret Husband

Chapter 30

Ella steps away from Bima's car and gets closer to Zico's. As if I didn't know the car. Ella breezed into the office gate. He had no intention at all to greet Zico who was still in his car. Ella wishes Zico hadn't seen her. If there's no meeting this morning with Zico. Because Ella already plans to go to Zico's house to solve their marriage problems if Ella feels ready.

In the car, Zico leaned forward to make sure the woman who had just passed by was Ella. Unfortunately, Ella who had turned her back to the car made Zico unable to see Ella's face. When Ella turned towards the gate. Ella also placed her palm on her left cheek. Zico is convinced that the woman is Ella

Hurry down from the car.

"Ella" cried Zico loudly. He ran to align his steps with Ella. Ella stopped after Zico caught her hand. And Ella quickly took her hand out of Zico's. Ella retreated her body so that they would have a considerable distance. Now their distance is about three meters. For some reason, Ella was more obedient to Bima and remembered her husband's message not to be touched by Zico even in the hand.

"What's wrong?" ask Ella calmly. The woman did not feel guilty after more than a week of leaving Zico's house without saying goodbye.

Zico looked at Ella from head to toe. His eyes did not blink looking at the appearance of his first wife who had been neglected for more than two years. The clothes and accessories attached to Ella's body make Ella like a classy woman. The thin makeup that adorns her face makes Ella's beauty even more prominent. Heeled shoes and long and colored fingernails make Ella more elegant. And do not forget the new hairstyle that makes Ella more look younger and fresh.

"Jaga distance mas. Let no one suspect that we have a relationship" Ella said slowly as she watched Zico approach her. His eyes also wandered looking towards the office gate. Bima's car is still parked there.

"What do you mean Ella. We do have a relationship. We're ist's husband...,"

"Stop machine. Tell me what you mean to meet me here," Ella cut firmly. Really he did not want to hear Zico continue his words that would definitely say they were husband and wife. For Ella their marriage was stale and it was too late to acknowledge being husband and wife.

"You still ask?. You haven't been home for more than a week. Where have you been so you don't go home?.

Zico's tone sounded worried.

Zico still can't believe what he heard from Ella's colleague a few days ago if Ella was on leave.

"I have business out of town. Go home. I need to get into the office right away" said Ella coldly. Zico was surprised by that cold attitude. Ella never acted like this. Zico continued to look at his wife's increasingly beautiful face in his eyes.

"I'm going in first."

"Ella, come home later. There's something I want to talk to you about."

"Speak here, sir."

"What do you mean. You mean you don't go home anymore?" zico's getting agitated.

"Yes mas. I chose to split the house with you. I already have a contract" Ella replied lying. He no longer wanted to live in Zico's house. Ella is afraid that she will return to Zico's house. Zico asks Ella's duty inwardly. He still remembers if he was previously married to Bima. Zico has already revealed they will start their marriage from scratch. Ella does not want to carry out her inner obligations to Bima. He had already handed his body to Bima. And Ella hopes only Bima will touch her body even though the current status is still Zico's wife. Imagining her body being touched by two men makes Ella goosebumps in pain.

"They won't know if you don't tell. Anyway with me out of your house. Then there's nothing in your house anymore, right?.

Zico was silent at Ella's words. He still remembers how he said the word shame Ella's whereabouts in his house.

"You're my wife. And it should be in my house. If you don't come home tonight. Just watch out for you. You know it. That I never play with what comes out of my mouth?.

Not realizing his mistake. Zico threatens Ella if she does not return home. Ella's getting fed up with Zico.

"I hate you, Zico." said Ella angrily. No more sympathy or respect for the husband that was ever expected to be a good priest for him. Zico's reason for always acting on Ella's parents makes Ella even more fed up.

"As far as you. Hating or not. You are definitely my wife. Don't tell me you changed your appearance to attract men. If it's your goal to change your appearance like this cheap woman. Means what Karina said that you're a woman...."

"Hmm, uh,"

Ella and Zico alike turned their heads towards the thumping sound. Bima with a steady step was approaching them.

"Good morning Ella's mother" Bima said with a sweet smile towards Ella. The tail of his eyes glanced towards Zico. Ever since Ella took her foot off the car. Bima continued to watch Ella until she turned towards the office gate. Bima then moved her car forward until it stopped right in front of the office gate. From inside the car Bima noticed the motion of Zico and Ella. He couldn't hear Ella and Zico's conversation. But look at Zico's body gestures. Bima suspects that Zico is forcing Ella to return to her home.

Zico looked at Bima who was already standing between them. Seeing Bima smile towards Ella opened Zico even more disliked Ella's current appearance. That's why she said Ella looks like a cheap woman. Zico admitted in his heart the change in Ella's appearance made the woman even more beautiful. But somehow Zico felt afraid that the new Ella appearance would make other men interested in his first wife.

"Good morning sir" Ella replied in surprise. The presence of Bima in that place made Ella's heart beat fast. He had guessed something that was nothing to fear. He did not dare to look at Bima or Zico. She stands between her two husbands who treat her very differently.

"I'm sorry, it looks like you're not an employee in this office" Bima told Zico without turning to Zico.

"real sir. This father is an insurance agent who wants to offer his products to me sir. I have refused but this father still wants to explain his product. Mr. Zico. I went in first. Sorry, I'm not interested in buying your insurance product" Ella said. He didn't care about Zico's stern look at him. Ella expressed her annoyance to Zico like that. The words of Zico who called it like a cheap woman opened Ella increasingly fed up with seeing the face of the cowardly man.

"Well Ella's mother. I want to see Mr. Andi. If my business is done with this father. We'd better get into the office" Bima asked. Bima nodded her head at Zico then walked over. The way Bima behaves shows that he is no match for Zico.

"Go to work" Ella said silently to Zico. Like a subordinate who is afraid of the boss. Ella then half-runningly followed Bima's steps into the office. In her heart Ella was relieved because Bima did not interfere in her conversation with Zico. Ella was very sure if Bima heard Zico's words earlier.

Zico was still standing in his place. He looked at Ella's body that was about to enter the office building. She hoped Ella would turn around to look at herself. But Ella kept going as if Zico wasn't there. Zico felt a strange thing in his heart. Seeing Ella's attitude somehow Zico grew afraid that Ella would not return home.
