Selfish Husband

Selfish Husband
Hope



Vania thinks that she misunderstood Zeyn's attitude towards him. "Maybe she didn't mean to hurt me, her words yesterday were just because I did well but I was the one who responded excessively" Vania said, denying her husband any ill thoughts.


Vania's word-filled brain was probably in the middle of her activity preparing for dinner. Vania is still trying to build good chemistry with Zeyn. Vania wholeheartedly made the food she made to make it more beautiful and taste good.


It was seven and Zeyn had not yet returned, Vania still faithfully waiting for Zeyn's arrival on the living room sofa to fall asleep.


***


Tinkling sounds of friction from the kitchen made Vania wake up from her sleep. "What's that sound?" muttered. Vania felt her hair bristling because there was no one but her at home.


Vania started to stand up from the sofa and sneaked her way towards the kitchen. His eyes were round looking at something he had not expected to see. He was Zeynan, standing in front of the sink, washing dishes and glasses and putting them in the closet.


Vania's eyes turned to the dining table that had been filled with several food menus and as a result everything was not in place. 'Did Zeyn eat it all?' the corners of his lips were attracted forming a faint smile.


"Ohh, did my activities wake you up?"


If you have to be honest then Vania will say 'Yes', but before that happened Vania did not even have time to answer because Zeyn continued his words.


"But thank goodness you're awake, we'll soon have guests."


"Guests? who?" vania's eyes widened in shock and a feeling of happiness melded into one.


"I invite my friends to come home."


***


The doorbell rang and Zeyn opened the door and from behind Vania tailed to greet the guest, revealing four handsome men standing right in front of Vania who were being cengo presented with worldly beauty. 'it turns out that handsome men also have friends who are just as handsome, ' praised Vania in heart.


"Hay, we'll see you again" said one of the four handsome peias.


"Yudha," said Vania with a smile and invited them to sit down.


"You guys know?" asked Zeyn confused.


"It just so happened that we met on the street and I helped her with her shopping" Yudha explained.


"Meet the others too" Zeyn orders Vania.


"He's Brian" Zeyn points to a well-built man with dimples on both sides of his cheeks that make him look cute and sweet. "This is Kevin" Zeyn pointed at the towering tall man, "And this is Aryan." said Zeyn finished introducing his friends.


"I almost forgot! Dery left something to give you," said Aryan and Vania's eyes spontaneously glanced at how Zeyn's reaction heard the name called. Zeyn snorted in dislike as Aryan thrust out a yellow chick hanger. Vania couldn't help but smile.


"His Funny! Thank you" said Vania looking at the hanger in her hand. It could not be denied that it was really adorable in his eyes.


"This is for you Zeyn," said Aryan grinning and thrusting two bags of fizzy drinks and food.


***


"Are you guys your age?" vania asked started to get curious about the handsome men in front of her.


"What about you." asked Aryan.


"I'm 25." replied Vania


"And I was born in England, grew up in China and now I live in Indonesia" Kevin continued.


"Neither do not answer before being asked," when Yudha snorted, he was upset with his friend. Vania smiled in response to the actions of the handsome man who was instalment.


"welcome to our home" Vania said in Mandarin.


"You speak mandarin?" kevin also speaks Mandarin.


"Yes, my parents asked me to learn it."


"Please stop this baseless chatter" Zeyn lamented.


"Zeck, what's wrong with you?" kevin's words made all eyes on Zeyn.


The name Zeck he never knew was Zeyn. Vania sipped the canned drink she had in her hand. Her mind wandered everywhere because she did not know much about Zeyn, her husband. 'What because we live in a marriage filled with falsehoods, I just realized that, '" said Vania in her heart.


"How about you call me sister how?" brian's speech made Vania turn not to the origin of the sound but towards Zeyn who spewed out her drink.


"Don't let it be" said Zeyn, wiping the liquid on the corner of his lips, no response was ignored.


"Because we're Zeyn's bloodless brothers and you have to call us big brother, to sound familiar" Brian added.


"Just ...."


"Would I get you a drink?" zeyn interrupted Vania's words as she headed for the kitchen.


Joking laughter spread throughout the corner of the room, Kevin was indeed an expert at demonstrating something maybe because the man was a model. Vania felt her jaw throbbing due to the pain of excessive laughter.


A good, open and eco-friendly personality amazes Vania but the problem is why they have friends like Zeyn, a cold-hearted human figure who beats the cold of a 2-door refrigerator in her home.


30 Minutes passed and the atmosphere was still the same. Somehow, among the laughter, one voice caught Vania's attention, leaving her astonished to know the origin of the voice from Zeyn.


Vania did not believe what she saw. Zeynan Shadiq Daulyn laughed, not the usual grin or laughter he used to do in front of his parents. This time he laughed heartily, sounding sincere. The first time Vania saw Zeyn laughing with excitement and became a rare beautiful sight.


A charming smile, showing a row of teeth, sparkling eyes and hair that came shimmering exposed to the light of the lamp makes it spoil every eye that sees it. Expecting her figure that Vania can hug while watching a romantic drama, yearning for a real man, who will be a father for her children later, he said, looking after Vania and making Vania feel comfortable while being next to her. The man Vania had always hoped for and fulfilled all her desires was just a single Zeynan.


I don't know why Vania also smiled faintly. 'I have no other choice, only you can make me fall in love with Zeyn, what do you think? it wouldn't make me a criminal if I liked you, would it?' murmured Vania in the heart.


Maybe some of them have different personalities knowing each other's attitude, but Vania is different. Vania knows what Zeyn's friends don't.


'Please don't be the figure of Zeynan Shadiq Daulyn again in front of me, but be a husband who loves his wife, ' hope Vania who makes Vania's eyes teary.
