Sephia's Deceptions

The Eyes Closed

Maria laughed at Lidya's nervousness. At that moment he understood, Lidya probably did not want to be disturbed. Or maybe the only girl of his puppet was being alone with her husband. At least that is what Mary had in mind.

Lidya could hear her mother's voice thumping. "Yes, son, enjoy your time, mama will not disturb," said Maria later, who suddenly made Lidya breathe a sigh of relief slowly.

"Thank you for the understanding, Ma" said Lidya, grimacing in embarrassment.

"Mama was young and married, so I know exactly what is happening to you right now" Maria said.

Lidya replied with a soft laugh. But in his heart at that time said that his mother was wrong.

"Yes already, if so mom wants to take Papa to dinner at the restaurant" said Maria. "Have you eaten?"

"Yet, Ma. Later, Lidya is still full," Lidya replied quickly.

After Maria closed the call, Lidya stretched her body slowly. His struggle with Alex left fatigue and pain in some parts of his body. He wanted to rest for a while, while waiting for Alex to come and maybe take him to dinner, considering that all day earlier they had only eaten a few bribes in the pelaminan.

"Alex was so brutal when I was so drunk, I was overwhelmed" he murmured. "If he's not drunk, is he still like that?" Lidya shook her head strongly. "Think what, Lidya? Remember, you're just an Alex Pradana wife, don't dream too much" she said to herself.

Lidya tried to close her eyes while turning on the music from her phone, she fell asleep in an instant.

***

The frenetic sound of music in a night club, sounds so deafening. Many couples who dance goulash accompany the beat and bang, as if testing the sensitivity and accuracy of the beat tone in each of them.

But the sound did not interfere with the activities of Alex who was alone with a woman in the VIP room, the 2nd floor, where some young couples usually spend the night, with a fairly expensive rental, where the, because the facilities are quite adequate and comfortable, like a star hotel room.

Alex smilingly stared into the two eyes of the woman who was now bowed before him. "You ready, Lily?"

The woman Lily called just smiled, without saying a word.

"Why silence?" ask Alex.

"I heard you just got married, today," Lily replied, keeping her head down.

"You know where it came from?"

"There are a lot of spies out there, don't underestimate me too much" Lily replied, this time looking intently at Alex.

"I had to do it."

Lily smiled cynically. "You can turn it down if you don't want to get married. Isn't that an easy matter? Your father will surely fulfill all your wishes, as always," he said in a disappointed tone.

Alex took a deep breath. "It's not that simple the problem is."

Lily laughs. "Difficult to refuse? Is it because you've impregnated her, like you did Heni?" inquiringly.

Alex's face was tingling red. How did Lily know about Heni who was currently pregnant and wanted to trap her?

"Do you know about Heni?" ask Alex.

Lily straightened her body. "Of course, Heni was my schoolmate during Junior High" he replied.

"Then did he tell you everything?"

Lily shook her head. "Not him, but from social media. You forgot that your big name is as high as the artists?"

Alex nodded slowly. "Why can I forget it?"

Lily got up from her seat and grabbed her jacket and sling bag.

"Where are you going?"

"Go. Why am I alone here with someone else's husband?" cynical Lily.

"Don't go, I'll explain everything to you" Alex prevented from holding Lily's hands tightly.

"Let me go, Alex. I don't deserve to be with you anymore."

"No, I love you so much, Lily, don't leave me."

Lili laughed cynically. "Love me but marry someone else, you're kidding me, Alex Pradana" she said.

"I'm serious, Lily. Wait until about a year and I'll marry you, after divorcing Lidya" Alex said, trying to persuade Lily.

"Oh, so his name is Lidya."

Alex nodded. "Yes, that's his name."

"Then Heni where are you, right?"

"So soon he's in jail, my lawyer's taken care of everything. I don't have anything to do with him" Alex explained.

"That's how."

Lily threw back her sling bag onto the sofa, then threw her body away, sat down and leaned back. Clearly look tired look on her beautiful face which is a brand ambassador of a beauty product.

"I'm sorry" whispered Alex, who was sitting next to Lily. One hand held Lily's hand gently.

"I'm tired, Alex," Lily lamented.

"Have a rest" Alex said attentively. "Do I need to massage both your legs?" bargained for.

Lily shook her head. "No need, you're not my lackey" he replied.

Alex stared at Lily's face questioningly. The woman looked so miserable, as if she was in a lot of trouble. Alex was about to ask, but was reluctant, as he knew, Lily would not want to if forced to talk, if not her own.

Alex took his phone and checked all the messages. He clicked slowly when of the many messages, there was not a single message from his wife. Wife? Since when did he admit that Lidya was his wife? Alex immediately shook his head and rubbed his face rough. "Don't be affected by this marriage, Alex," he hissed inwardly.

"Have you had dinner?" lily asked, breaking the silence created.

"No, I came to dinner with you on purpose" Alex replied.

"We're leaving now," asked Lily who saw Alex starting to sluggish.

"But, Lily, we still haven't ...."

Lily laughed softly. "Whatyou? That's later, after dinner," he said.

"Don't lie, otherwise ...."

"What?" Lily glared at Alex, as if challenging him.

"I'll eat you, as my dinner dessert," Alex replied as she winked one eye at Lily.

Lily just laughs and pulls Alex's wrist, takes him to the rooftop, where the restaurant they want to go to is located.

"Have you booked this place in advance, Alex?" lily asked in disbelief, when her place order was declined.

Alex smiled meaningfully. "All the rooftops I've rented. We'll be free to do anything here, without being bothered by anyone, without the hustle and bustle of the ground floor."

"Ah, you rich man," Lily grumbled. He always loses quickly with Alex. Actually, he wanted to occasionally pay for everything, but Alex always refused his good intentions.

Alex just chuckled and wrapped his hands around Lily's slender waist, taking her to the center of the dance area, where someone had started playing the piano, chanting the tone of the contemporary love song.

Lily smiled. He was so impressed by Alex's surprise this time, even though at the beginning he was so upset to know that Alex had married another woman, it was not her who had been dating the man for the past year.

"You're beautiful" Alex praised as she gently kissed Lily on the forehead.

Lily smiled lightly. "I'm the woman you praise, hm?"

"The only one" replied Alex.

"Lied."

"I'm being honest with you, Lily. An Alex is not easy to give a compliment, if not to someone who means a lot in his life" said Alex. "Why don't you trust me?"

"Because you're a playboy. It's only natural that I'm always suspicious of you."

Alex laughed softly. "That was. Now no longer, since I knew you and was close to you" he whispered as he slowly bit Lily's ear lobe.

They dance slowly, according to the rhythm of the music that accompanies. Lily's two hands coiled around Alex's neck tightly, while her lips clenched in the fondling Alex gave her.

"I love you" Alex whispered between her kisses.

Lily smiled faintly, in the dim light of the place, Lily saw Alex saying a word of love while closing her eyes instead of looking at her. And that felt weird to Lily.

"Who do you love?" lily Fishing.

"You" Alex replied. "Li-."

Alex's answer was interrupted due to the ringing of the cell phone which instantly made Alex open his eyes and look at Lily with a pus. "Wait a minute" he said, releasing his embrace on Lily's body.

Lily was disappointed. Almost he gets an honest answer from Alex, but apparently luck always comes to the man.

"Yes, Pa. Alex is there right now."

Lily looked up when she heard Alex. He believes Alex's father has called his lover to come. Once again Lily had to swallow her disappointment tonight.

"Lily, I'm sorry, I have to go home right now" Alex said in a regretful tone. "Pack up, I'll take you home."

Without saying much, Lily snatched her bag and walked out ahead of Alex.
