Secret Weddings

Feel cheated

Zara immediately put the cookies in the container, after which she took the car keys and immediately said goodbye to her husband because he was going to Erlan's house not far from where he lived.

Zara will give this cake to her sister-in-law.

A few years ago, Zara and Meli were best friends together. The two of them often spent time together, especially after Meli married Jhon. However, due to a dispute that occurred between Meli and Zara, the two women ended up keeping a distance from each other, but before long they improved.

After twenty minutes, Zara's car arrived in front of the Elran mansion, where her husband's family lived. Zara came out confidently with a place filled with cookies, ready to ease tensions between the already protracted family.

The door opened, and Alea, daughter of Caral and LErlan, ran out to greet Mama Zara. "Mama's finally here!" Erlan approached her brother-in-law enthusiastically, just a week apart. The little lady helped Zara bring the cake in.

After arriving at the guest, Carla and several members of the Ellan family had already gathered in the living room, including Erlan, Carla's husband and Zara herself. There was tension in the air as they looked at each other and greeted each other to start the family event.

Zara, courageously, started the conversation, "Carla, I know we haven't talked to each other in a long time. But I want this family event to be an opportunity for us to come to terms and start a better relationship." she tightly grasped Carla's hand .

"I know it may be hard to forget the past problems, but I hope this cake can be a picture of my goodwill."

Carla looked down and let go of Zara's hand. "Thank you, Zara, that's very touching. However, I'm not sure if we can still go back to how it used to be."

Erlan, who feels guilty as the trigger, intervenes. "Girls, we still have plenty of time to talk and solve our problems. Of course we do not want to live in tension and hostility. I'm sure we can find a solution so that all parties feel happy and comfortable."

In the room there are beautiful paintings that adorn the walls and a luxurious table that has been prepared for dinner with the family.

On the stage wall was emitted a soft light from the elegant chandelier that created a warm atmosphere. Fresh flowers that work provide a soothing aroma.

Feeling awkward trying to be avoided, other family members joined the conversation to divert attention from the issue.

They talk about topics that are light and uplifting, such as their next vacation plans and the busyness of children in school activities.

The tension begins to shrink as they enjoy the delicious dishes served by the Elran family. The aroma of fried shrimp spread in the air, accompanied by hot smoke from the red cooked beef that was bursting.

Zara serves chocolate pudding that tempts the taste buds as a dessert.

Meanwhile, Zara tries hard to re-establish a conversation with Carla, going from one topic to another, talking about the new collection of books they read, the movies they watch, and the, and their last trip. Tucked away on the sidelines of the conversation, Zara carefully alludes to the reason for their split, hoping Carla will open her heart.

Long story short, a few years ago Zara helped a desperate young boy named Bayu find a job to support his family. He presented it to the Elran family, hoping that a job offer as a driver could help Bayu's economy. However, as time goes on, Carla begins to suspect that Zara and Bayu are in a relationship that is more than just a professional one.

However, Zara was completely oblivious to the feeling that was stirring in Carla's heart . But when she finds out, Zara feels hurt and disappointed, feeling Carla doesn't trust her enough.

The dispute continued to grow until it involved both families and caused them to keep their distance and move the mansion.

As they enjoyed the dessert, Zara finally explained to Carla.

"Carla, I want you to know that what you think of me and Bayu is just a misunderstanding. That's all I do, help a young man find a job so he can answer his family's needs."

Carla sighed deeply, her eyes glazed over. "Zara, I'm sorry. I know I misjudged you. But, you have to understand that I don't want to lose a family as good as you."

"I'm really scared of losing Erlan, especially after seeing how close you and Bayu are. But, I shouldn't think bad about you, Zara. We've been together a long time, and I know you'll never do anything as bad as I imagined."

Zara held Carla's hand, looking into her teary eyes. "I understand, Carla . But we must trust each other and communication must be maintained so that we do not misunderstand. You're like a sister to me, and I miss you so much."

In a corner of the room, the other family members watched them talk and felt the change of atmosphere become warmer.

Slowly, they join in the conversation, sharing interesting stories and laughter. Erlan and Nathan, relieved to see their wives finally speak, express their gratitude to each other for trying to defuse the protracted conflict.

Between the laughs, Nathan, who was so happy to see the two women I finally spoke to each other again, ran up to the chair and said cheerfully, "A happy family is finally reunited! May we always gather like this!"

The atmosphere became more lively, when the music began to fill the room. Erlan attracts Caral and Zara to dance together, expressing her gratitude that the two women she loves so much are finally getting back together. Other family members join in a spontaneous dance party, enjoying happiness not only from speech and thought, but also body movements and expressions.

The night passed quickly, and the tension that had been enveloping had worn off replaced sincere happiness. Zara and Carla are back to dancing together, joking and laughing. They even sang half a scream, shamelessly hesitating, while their families sang together and laughed out loud.

Shortly after, the family event ended and guests were getting ready to return home. When the time came to part ways, Zara and Carla hugged each other tightly, without wanting to let go of each other.

Their eyes were wet as they promised not to let distrust and misunderstandings ruin their relationship again.

"I will always try to be a good sister to you, Zara," Carla said in a weak, trembling voice.

"And I will always trust you and keep communication open, Carla," Zara replied, peeping at her sister-in-law's temple.

As the guests left, Erlan gently stroked Catal's shoulder and whispered, "Thank you for opening your heart again to Zara, dear. I know it wasn't an easy decision for you, but I'm proud that you've done it."

Carla smiled faintly, trying to ease the feeling of haru that controlled her heart. "I realize that we all have fears and doubts in life, Erlan, and sometimes that can cloud our judgment. But, I also already understand how important communication is in maintaining good relationships with our loved ones."

Meanwhile, Zara and Nathan are already in the car, getting ready to go home. The man clasped Zara's hand tightly, expressing his love for her. "I know how much Carla means to you, and I'm glad to see you guys make up. I hope this is a good start for our family relationship."

Zara nodded, holding back the tears of happiness that were about to fall. "Thank you for supporting me, Mom . We should always try to maintain family harmony, because they are the foundation of our happiness."

That night, after passing through the deserted city streets and the lights twinkling in the sky, Zara and Nathan arrived at their mansion. Her heart is filled with happiness and hope for a new relationship with Carla and the Elran family.

In the days that followed, Zara and Carla began to spend more time together, trying to get to know each other again. They visit their favorite cafes, chat about personal life, share future plans, and support each other.

In fact, life is not always smooth, there are likes and sorrows. However, Zara and Carla have learned a valuable lesson from their experience, that communication and trust are key in maintaining good relationships, both in family and friendship.

Day after day passes, and as time passes, the relationship between Zara and Carla grows closer, and the wounds of the past fade. They again enjoy the happiness of togetherness as before, sharing their laughter, tears, and dreams in this journey of life.

Zara and Carla have discovered the true meaning of the power of love and friendship, that sometimes forgiveness and patience are the best medicine to heal a once wounded heart. And through their persistent efforts, they,.

the Elran family reunites, maintaining the happiness and peace they have been seeking.

After all went well and properly, Nathan invited his wife to join the office on the grounds of wanting to be accompanied to work.

Theme: Family drama at Nathan's office.

"Nathan, are you sure you want to take your work wife to the office? Isn't this gonna keep you from concentrating?" erlan asked, Nathan's twin, with a mockery on his face.

"Erlan, I've told you many times. I want my wife to be with me today, let her know what my job is like. After all, everyone knew he was retired, so he had time to accompany me. Concentration matters, that's my business" Nathan replied firmly and steadily.

In his sprawling, modern office, Nathan sits in his cozy cubicle, with photos of his family adorning the table. His wife, Zara, was sitting on a sofa in the corner of the room, looking out at the city through a glass window.

While working on the report stacked on the table, Nathan felt that there was a raining gaze from the corner of the room. He looked up and asked, "What's wrong, honey? It looks like something is bothering me. May I know?"

Zara with an ominous look on her face replied, "Why has Erlan always bothered you, Mas? You try to stay calm, you know. Why would he dare to act like that?"

"As far as he is, honey. The important thing is that we are aware that we are in the same position in this office. So, no need to pay attention to his ridicule," Nathan said trying to calm his wife.

However, Zara who felt unnoticed tried to remind Nathan, "You must remember, we've become ka-mil is Nathan. It could be that Erlan is after your job or even your job, who knows?"

"It's not a good time to talk about this, honey. We're in the office and I'm at work. Don't make things like this interfere with our work."

One afternoon, as the clock was coming home from work, Zara came to Erlan's desk with a well-thought-out plan. His heart was pounding, yet the memory of Erlan's ridicule of Nathan seemed to give him courage.

"Good day, Erlan," Zara said in a soft voice.

Erlan who was surprised by Zara's presence smiled cynically.

"What do you want, Mrs Nathan?" asked Erlan while keeping her chair away.

Zara tried to concentrate and continue her mission, "I want to talk to you about something that has been bothering me for a long time."

And, they talked about Nathan and their relationship with him. Half an hour later, they agreed not to interfere with each other, for the sake of the comfort of their work as well as Nathan.

Since then Erlan never mocked his twin in front of Zara, but Erlan did not promise if only alone with Nathan.

"Damn it, Nathan! You always make things complicated," Erlan said, looking at the elder brother with an annoyed look.

"Shut up, Erlan. You know it's all your fault, you're the one who gave me the job" Nathan replied in a resentful tone.

The two men were indeed twins, but their personality differences were more obvious than their similar and identical faces. Erlan, the younger brother, is always confident and more aggressive, while Nathan is quieter and a thinker.

They sit in the park behind 'em, trying to complete their switched tasks. The bright sun hit the tree, and the rustling of leaves on it made the situation feel comfortable. Suddenly, a very beautiful woman appeared.

"Hi, Erlan and Nathan!" sweep it with a smile.

" What's in your office can't work" asked Zara

Erlan and Nathan turned around and saw Zara's bright face. Her face was so beautiful, that Nathan was instantly fascinated. What an unexpected event that day, they did not expect that Zara saw the two working on the report.

"Darling, I can explain" Nathan said.

Zara doesn't like it when her husband comes home still doing office work.

After tightly grasping the door of the house, Nathan was immediately greeted coldly by Zara's annoyance. She could not believe seeing her husband still not finished with his work.

"I think we've already discussed what kind of life we want after marriage. I want to spend more time together, not just make a living" Zara spoke in a disappointed tone.

Nathan sighed, realizing that Zara had grown tired of the pattern of their lives being kept awake because of the responsibilities of work. "Zara I know how sad this is for you. But in fact work does demand more of our time" Nathan replied, trying to explain.

Zara frowned, annoyed by Nathan's words.

"Mas, we're our neighbor's top priority, right? I don't want to keep chasing things that are instant and uncertain. I want to pause and enjoy this life with you" she said in a serious yet gentle voice.

Hearing Zara's words, Nathan felt guilty and hurried to comfort her. He pulled a chair in the living room and made Zara sit there. "I don't want you to feel guilty about our work, but I also realize that we should indeed focus on our own happiness first. I'll try to find a better time for us, but please be patient with this condition" Nathan said, peeping at Zara's forehead.

Zara only sighed and nodded slowly, feeling quite appreciated after hearing Nathan's honest words. However, behind the tread of sadness that was awakened, he also put his doubts deeper.

That night, they fell asleep in each other's arms, promising to fight each other to maintain the happiness in the household. However, the hesitation in Zara's heart still suffocated and revealed a stillness that gave off despair.

Week after week, the two seemed quite happy with the routine they were living. However, one day, Zara finds an email she did not expect, containing photo information about Nathan and a woman. A round of respiratory currents found grass that was increasingly about to unite the bitter melon.

"Darling, what is this?" ask Zara, while showing the image file. Smile at the gate of light, gone.

While looking at the file Zara showed, Nathan panicked. His face turned pale instantly. "Here, it's not what you think, Zara."

Zara shook her head, her tears flowing down her cheeks.

Seeing Nathan hugging his wife, but Zara immediately revolted."Off!"

"Dear,." Nathan Engan let go of his embrace.

"Let go, Mas!" zara is full of emotion.

Zara did not expect her husband to be having an affair, but seeing the photo they just sat next to each other.

Zara was finally silent and did not rebel anymore. Only then did Nathan let go of his embrace.

"Darling, I'll explain, but you're calm, yeah" Nathan asked gently.
