Selfish Husband

Theatrical Parade

Zeyn and Vania greet Zeyn's parents and greet colleagues and business associates at the party. Zeyn's father forces Vania to come with him, introducing Vania to everyone present as a form of formality as Vania first attends the Daulyn family event.

Zeyn was talking to someone and Vania who was still following her father-in-law, the atmosphere in the ball room was increasingly crowded with invited guests present.

Vania really needed air to breathe so she took the initiative to get some fresh air. Vania came out of the crowd, her eyes were busy looking for Zeyn's figure, but she could not find it. Vania wants to go to the buffet but seeing how many people Vania undo the intention and take a glass of wine.

Vania sat down and looked around, no one she knew. Vania sighed softly. "What should I do?" he mumbled bored. As there was nothing she could do, Vania finally went out to the balcony.

The night view in Jakarta is very beautiful, the city is full of bustle of life and the feeling of calm and peace that he felt at one time. Nice weather, warm and windless. Vania took a deep breath, closed her eyes and smiled.

"I hope you won't jump" Vania heard a man's voice. He looked back to see the figure of the man who had just called out. "Handsome," a single word that was in Vania's brain as she looked at the man wearing a suit similar to Zeyn's.

The man smiled, his eyes were pretty much the same as Zeyn's, both hands in his pants pocket. So Perfect's.

"T-no. I just admire the view at night."

"I also love the view of the city at night, it's very soothing" he said, standing next to Vania, taking out his hand and holding a security fence.

"But why are you standing here looking at the scenery? you should be inside with the others. Isn't that the reason they came to this party?"

"I just want to be here, and the reason why I'm here? because I came as a friend" Vania replied lying. Nor was she sure she had to be honest about being Zeyn's wife.

"What about you? Aren't you interested in making a business contract?" vania asked, beginning to dare to look at the figure next to her.

"I think it would be more beautiful to enjoy the night view here with you" Vania blushed and poked her lips to hide her smile.

"Inside it's so boring, they just know the money. Should be work done at work, the purpose is to have a party well, for fun, right? A party like this can't be entertaining at all, I'd rather be here with you because I'm sure you can cheer me up" said the man looking at Vania with a smile.

Her eyes hypnotized Vania, beautiful eyes that radiated happiness made Vania could only be stunned and blushed, not knowing what to say.

"Don't you know that approaching someone's wife is something no one should do?" Vania heard a familiar voice from behind.

Vania gulped before turning around and looking at Zeyn, Vania wanted to say something so that Zeyn would not misunderstand what he saw, but the man next to Vania had already spoken.

"Zeck," he called.

"Zeck's? Who's Zeck?" vania gumam.

"Derrie!" call Zeyn back.

Vania is confused by the existence of two men in front of her now, Vania curses herself for forgetting to ask the name of the man and thanks to Zeyn, Vania finally knows what his name is.

"I was just accompanying your wife and comforting her a little bit with a chat that you obviously couldn't do, and you should be grateful that thanks to me your wife doesn't get bored being here," he continued and raised his brow next to the Zeyn who was probably on fire with emotion.

Vania glanced at Dery, a disturbing feeling started to appear but she calmly hid it.

"And one more thing, I know there's nothing tied between you two and your marriage is just something written on a piece of paper, nothing more," said Dery continued his sentence and then looked back at Vania. "I hope to see you again" he said and waved.

Vania smiled awkwardly and nodded faintly. Dery walked over and stopped right beside Zeyn and patted her on the arm.

Vania looked back at Zeyn for fear that the man had upset her.

"Come on," said Zeyn. "There's someone who wants to see you."

To her surprise there was no angry tone in her voice, Vania was impressed because Zeyn was really good at controlling her emotions.

***

The couple had already sat in the car to get home and Vania could not stop thinking about Zeyn's changing behavior, his actions, his words. Vania kept rolling back the memories that happened earlier.

How does Zeyn's hand hold her, how to call Vania by the name of wife when introducing Vania to her colleagues.

Vania feels like she has found something new in Zeyn, Vania is so happy in such a short time that it makes her think that she feels an increase in hope, for things may or may not be different from now on.

Vania smiled and glanced at Zeyn who was walking inside the house. Vania took off her shoes and as she wanted to stand up and wanted to step up, Vania gasped at Zeyn who was looking at her deeply.

Vania sensed that something was strange, Zeyn's face was emitting an aura of anger, Zeyn walked over to Vania which made her spontaneously retreat. His brain had guessed that bad things would happen.

A few minutes ago Zeyn was still being nice to him and it made no sense that he would be angry, whereas Vania had done nothing wrong to provoke Zeyn's anger.

Vania's back hit the door and the distance between them got closer, Zeyn deliberately hit the door and both hands rested on both sides of Vania's head. Zeyn made Vania surprised until her mouth was perfectly closed.

Vania was surprised by Zeyn's unexpected actions, Vania closed her eyes and turned her head to the side. Nothing happened, Vania slowly opened her eyes and exchanged glances with Zeyn.

"You almost messed things up" Zeyn said. "Why do you think I want to marry you? Why do you think you were at the party, huh? It's all about showing others that I'm responsible for my wife and trying to be trustworthy. And there he is, an important colleague whose money we need so much."

Vania was made to gawk at what Zeyn said. "We could lose her, she's old and tired easily and you disappear somewhere and when she asks about my wife, guess what? you weren't there. You weren't there when I needed you. Do you know how stupid I was then?"

"I'm very Men ...."

Vania wanted to apologize but Zeyn again hit the door with his hand once again to keep Vania quiet.

"And that's not the worst thing, because when I go looking for my wife who should be next to me. Guess what he did? teasing a man without shame!" zeyn's tone of voice was high.

"But I didn't ...."

"You're okay? you want to say you're not teasing her?" Zeyn lowered her head aligning her eyes with Vania's. It was then that Vania realized how very close their faces were.

"why is your face like that? you blushed? or do you really like all the bullshit? are you that easy? suppose from the beginning I knew that you were just a cheap nets*ng, I wouldn't have married you."

Zeyn's remarks this time were really piercing, Vania felt Zeyn was injecting poison right in her veins and it spread very quickly affecting all the organs of Vania's body especially the heart.

Vania could feel the pain. "But this is not something I can cancel now, I'm very surprised because I told you not to be a cheap woman. But you still do, even when I'm next to you. Well, you're right something unpredictable" Zeyn continued with a sly smile.

Vania felt her head pulsate. Zeyn's words were so painful, how could Vania forget if Zeyn married her only for her own benefit. How could he forget that Zeyn had no feelings for him. How can Vania forget all those things and free her heart from pounding while with Zeyn.

'He deceived me, I forgot that this was all a lie and I was really deceived. He played his part so well that I felt like everything was real. When he held my hand gently I thought it was sincere from his heart but I misrespected him because everything was just a show and I was also part of a show.'
