Secret Husband

Chapter 77

"Who is Ella. Do you know him?" asked Mr. Cipto after Zico stepped quickly towards the gate.

"Know sir. That's your friend Zico."

Ella can't lie about Cipto sir's question. Right, Ella knows Karina but to tell her the truth Ella must not be able to.

Mr. Cipto looked at Ella's face for a moment. Something stuck in his heart when he heard Ella's answer and Zico's actions that seemed to cover something. Moreover, seeing Zico actually away from the gate instead of inviting the woman to join them.

"Following husband. Not good for Zico to talk alone with other women," said Mr. Cipto made Ella immediately turn to Bima and mama Maya.

Ella stood up from her seat after seeing Bima smile. That smile was like permission for him to obey the words of his former father-in-law.

Ella stood not far from Zico and Karina. He could hear all the talk between Karina and Zico. Indeed, Ella was deeply moved by Zico's sacrifice for her husband's happiness and recovery. Ella to shed tears because she got the sincerity of Zico's heart.

But the other side of his heart was also sad. Zico is back with Karina. His heart seems unwilling. Not because there was another taste in his heart towards Zico. It's just that Zico's been changing a lot. Ella feels Zico deserves a better woman than Karina.

Until when this divorce will be a secret. If it is still kept secret then the ones who are hurt are Mr. Cipto and Marni's mother. Both parents will be surprised and disappointed with this divorce. Ella realized she was being too selfish at the moment. For the sake of Bima's healing. He was willing to play a play that would definitely make both of his former in-laws angry.

"Mas Zico, don't sacrifice too much for me and Bima. We should be honest with our father and mother about our divorce. Right now we can hide it. But tomorrow we don't know what's going on. I don't want my father and mother to expect much of our relationship if we hide this divorce for too long" Ella said after closing in on Zico and Karina.

Karina could still look cynically at Ella. The social status of Ella who had become the wife of a Bima seemed to have no effect on Karina. Karina still looked at Ella like her rival.

"Ella, actually I also want to immediately speak honestly to my parents about our divorce. But my guilt for you makes me accountable to your husband. I once slandered him with another woman who turned out to be his own biological sister. I will inform you of this divorce after the treatment of Mr. Bima is finished and healed," Zico said without looking at Ella. Karina smiled again. He feels smart to be able to take advantage of this situation to get back together with Zico.

"Mas Zico's. Can I consider you as my brother from now on?" said Ella. Ella is feeling lucky right now because of Zico's much more mature and kind attitude when compared to when they were married.

Listening to Ella's question, Zico spontaneously turned to Ella. As ex-husband and wife who never touch should their relationship is not rigid. There are no sweet memories to remember.

"Do you want to consider me this bad guy as your brother. I only gave you bitter memories when we were together."

"Everything has its meaning. I am thankful that you gave me such bitter memories. I can live my current marriage without remembering the sweet memories of the previous marriage. Forgetting bitter memories will be easier than forgetting sweet memories."

Zico looked at the sincere woman who was a few meters away from him. He increasingly admired Ella's mature attitude for not being vengeful to him. Zico feels himself very dwarfed to want all his treatment first to Ella.

"I'd be so proud if you were willing to think of me as your sister Ella. And I'm proud to have a sister like you" Zico said with a smile.

"Sister. Older brother. A thousand reasons women. Tell me that's your trick to having two husbands. You're greedy," said Karina cynically.

"Karina. Take care of your words. Seeing your attitude like this seems like we don't need to refer to it" Zico said angrily at seeing Karina had not changed.

"Then. Go home. Don't provoke me to anger. And one more. Please correct your attitude. Be a little grown up."

"I'm not going home. I'll go home with you. And I want you to introduce me to both of your parents. It's up to you to introduce me as his second wife or honey from him. I'm willing to work together to shut up about your divorce," Karina said calmly making Zico round his eyes in disbelief at what Karina had heard from her mouth.

"Karina, don't be crazy. I've already agreed to your wish to refer. Why are you in so much demand now."

"Because I want to get to know and be known by your family. Is that wrong?.

"Not wrong but now is not the right time for that. Please don't mess with Karina's situation" Zico said, begging Karina to leave as soon as possible.

"Karina. Are you sure you will be accepted as a daughter-in-law?. You better follow what Zico said. Look at the end there. That person is my father-in-law's confidant. If you insist on messing with the Bima mas treatment. Then they will drag you from this village" said Ella. Looking stubborn Karina. Ella couldn't bear to keep quiet about the debate Karina and Zico would have on her husband's treatment.

To be honest Ella did not believe about the shut up Karina had said earlier. Karina desperate to be a second wife then Ella is also very sure if Karina will be reckless to also mess with her husband's treatment.

"Sorry Ella. I don't need your opinion. I just want to see the manly attitude of my husband who used to dare to be polygamous" replied Karina trivially. He deliberately challenged Zico. The woman did not learn anything from the experience of facing her husband. His attitude still clearly shows an attitude that does not appreciate the husband.

"Alright Karina. I'll introduce you to both of my parents" Zico said at last. Karina smiled broadly and felt victorious.

"Mas, did you introduce her as the second wife?. Please take care of my husband. I don't want you to call myself your wife" Ella said. She could not imagine how her husband would feel if Zico called himself a wife even if it was just a temple.

"No. I will introduce this snake woman as a maid in my house. He came here to help clean the house of the father and mother," said Zico with tight teeth because of holding back anger.

"Unfortunately, you have heard all your talk" said Mr. Cipto with eyes full of flashes of anger. He stared at Zico, Ella and Karina in turn.

"Sir."

"Sir."

Zico and Ella felt their heartbeats faster than usual.

"You, I don't want to have a daughter-in-law like you. Get out of front of me right now," said Mr. Cipto while pointing at Karina. The talk he heard was enough to judge if the woman was not a good woman.

Pak Cipto's loud and scary voice turned out to make Karina's guts shrivel. He left the place without saying goodbye.

Mr. Cipto set his breath after seeing Karina getting away from them. He turned around and left Ella and Zico in that place. Her move is to fearlessly know the truth if Ella and Zico are not husband and wife anymore.
