Sharing Love - A Cold Husband

CHAPTER 7 ~ Hope ~

Valendino, a man who usually doesn't care about women, laughed when Allena finally wanted to eat broccoli in her fork. The girl ate all the broccoli in Valendino's plate. After all the broccoli had run out, Valendino began to eat his food.

"Wait for you, the fork is replaced first with mine. It's still clean" Allena said as she thrust her fork with both hands.

Valendino smiled but still devoured the food using his own fork. Allena was astonished, there was no look of disgust for Valendino when eating her food using a fork used by herself.

The very familiar sight did not escape Zefran's eyes, making Frisca surprised because several times he spoke, Zefran seemed to ignore him. Frisca turned to look at Zefran, Frisca was surprised to see Allena eating her breakfast with Valendino.

"That..., that's not Valen? He's with Allena? Do they know each other? Over where? Since when?" the questions came out of Frisca's mouth.

Zefran did not reply, the man was again busy eating his food but still sometimes the eyes glanced at the beautiful and handsome young couple.

Valendino was acting so gentlemanly when she saw something smudge Allena's lips. With a smile that could not escape his mouth, Valendino rubbed the corner of the girl's lips with her thumb. Allena is clumsy but Valendino doesn't care. Zefran breathed heavily.

Valendino stared gently at Allena's face that was eating her food awkwardly. Valendino who saw Allena eating uncomfortably ended up pretending to be busy eating her food.

"This time I had a business meeting with a co-worker. After that I don't have any more events, can I see you then?" ask Valendino.

"Oh that, I don't know Mister," Allena replied.

"Don't call me sir, I'm not your boss. It feels weird, doesn't it? You've spent all my broccoli when we're still not acquainted" Valendino said with a laugh.

Allena also smiled, Valendino was fascinated looking at the sweet smile of Allena. Unknowingly the man looked at Allena with a smile. Valendino then introduced himself.

"I'm Valendino, you can call me Dino, Valen, Val, anything. I can be called anything, just don't be called KPK" Valendino said.

Spontaneously Allena laughed, Valendino who said with a serious expression finally laughed at the response of the girl.

"Don't laugh, I'm talking seriously" Valendino said with a smile.

"Yes the same, I also miss being called president" said Allena.

"You dare to be called president?" valendino asked with a smile.

"Yes, because my name is not the president, my name is Allena" Allena said as well as introducing herself.

Valendino laughs.

"It's nice to meet Allena, the girl who doesn't care if she's called president" Valendino said with a laugh.

Allena also laughed, Valendino was blown away staring at the girl who was laughing so sweetly.

Are you still alone Allena, is there someone who has you? inner Valendino.

"So among all those calls, what would you rather be called?" ask Allena.

"Anything you like, Valen, Valen, Dino, Valen in love can be, too" Valendino said.

Allena laughed again.

"That's falling in love, sir," said Allena with a laugh that was replied with a smile by Valendino.

Yes really falling in love, if it goes on like this I can fall in love with you, inner Valendino.

Valendino and Allena laughed while enjoying their breakfast. While Zefran was more silent, Frisca was so excited to tell the exciting events in his office. The woman who currently serves as the Director of Business in her family's company often meets entrepreneurs from companies she works with.

Sometimes the woman told me how much her business partner idolized her. Tells how they obey and always agree with the ideas expressed by Frisca. However, Zefran's response was flat, with no hint of curiosity, pride or jealousy. Making Frisca upset, Frisca turned to Valendino and Allena again.

"I'll say hello to them" Frisca said as she stood up.

"For what?" zefran asked directly while looking at Frisca.

"To draw your attention, I'm talking but you don't care at all about what I say" Frisca said.

"I heard your story but what should I say? You are indeed charming, people have always liked and always supported your ideas what is strange about the story?" zefran asked while eating Omelette in front of him.

"Aren't you jealous?" ask Frisca.

"Why should I be jealous? I'm better than them and you love me a lot too" Zefran said confidently.

"That means you're not afraid of losing me, you're not afraid that I'm hanging out with other young entrepreneurs. You're too confident that I love you so much" Frisca said.

"You prefer me to the senator's son, of course I'm confident" he said, continuing to spend the omelette before him.

"You're more jealous of Allena" said Frisca, drawing Zefran's attention.

Zefran was lured, the man stopped staring at his food and turned his eyes to Frisca

"I don't care about him, I'm just afraid he's telling me about us. You think I'm proud to have two wives? People will blaspheme me as an ungrateful husband. Having a perfect wife like you but still married another woman" said Zefran at length.

Zefran looks emotionally accused of being jealous of Allena. The man quibbled with the impression of flattering his wife. Making Frisca soar and deject to greet Allena and Valendino.

When Valendino and Allena finished with their breakfast, Zefran again glanced at his best friend and second wife. They both walked out of the restaurant. Zefran breathed heavily.

"What's our plan now? We go shopping?" tanya Frisca gave a suggestion.

Zefran nodded, what were they doing besides relaxing and enjoying their vacation.

"Are we gonna take Allena?" frisca asked wanting to know her husband's opinion.

Zefran refused, he did not want the relaxed atmosphere he wanted to enjoy with Frisca turned uncomfortable because of the presence of Allena. Hearing that Frisca smiled happily, in her heart was very sure that Zefran's love had not been switched from her.

Frisca knocked on Allena's room door, the girl immediately opened the door of the room in her place.

"We want to go for a walk, you want to come? If you want to get ready," Frisca asked while looking at Allena's appearance.

The girl's best clothes were considered ordinary clothes for Frisca. The woman asked Allena to replace it with another.

"No Madam, please Mrs Frisca and Mr. Zefran go both ways. I stayed in the room only" Allena subtly refused.

"Aren't you bored in the room?" ask Frisca.

"No Madam, I can watch television or take a walk around the hotel. It's okay, Mrs Frisca. Ladies and gentlemen, please leave" said Allena.

"Alright then, we're leaving. Be careful alone, do you want to order something?" ask Frisca.

"No Madam, thank you" said Allena.

Frisca nodded then walked back to her room. Zefran waited in front of the door while pacing back and forth. When Frisca knocked on the door, the man immediately opened it.

"What say? Why wear everything?" zefran said with a panicked face.

Frisca laughed at the expression of her husband.

"You didn't answer my question. Why wear everything? Fortunately he did not want to come. If you want, how?" ask Zefran.

"We must keep a pleasantries with him, so that he does not hate us. I'm sure he won't come anyway. He's not confident about joining us" Frisca said.

"Well my smart wife, you do understand everything" Zefran said, peeping at his wife's lips.

"I understand the type of girl it seems that I strongly agree that you were betrothed to her. He is not the type of teaser and the type of person who wants to master. Plus he was so poorly educated that he made him feel insecure. While she's your wife, we can be free from Mommy's barking" Frisca explained with a fluffy smile.

"But until when? Mommy asks her to give birth to a child soon. It was Mommy's goal to get me married to her" Zefran said.

"Don't think about it, being free from Mommy's insistence and relaxing here might just make me pregnant" Frisca said, cupping her husband's face.

Zefran smiled, the man immediately threw his wife into the bed.

"We will take a walk later in the afternoon, now is the time to get you pregnant" said Zefran while removing the collared shirt branded.

Frisca laughed as she watched her husband throw at the clothes he was wearing one by one and made the room fall apart. Zefran launched the action and hoped his noble duty to impregnate his wife could soon be realized.

If I can impregnate Frisca, maybe I don't need to maintain my marriage with the girl, Zefran's inner self is increasingly trying to satisfy themselves.

Meanwhile Allena presses the remote control button of the television to turn it off. The many channels are not at all interesting to watch. The girl opened the sliding door to the balcony. Allena stood looking at the hotel swimming pool filled with visitors who want to relax. Every now and then the girl smiled at the behavior of the people down there.

They are the ones who never think about the difficulty of living life. People who easily get what they want and don't have to peek at the price tag every time they shop, Allena screams.

The girl exhaled heavily, a speck of clear fall dripping down her white cheeks.

Geez, I can't complain, I should be grateful for my life. Until this moment I can still survive not falling into the dark world. Many of these women have no choice but to sell themselves for survival, forgive me God, forgive me, the inner Allena while wiping away her tears.

Allena again enjoyed the scenery below and returned to smiling to herself. Allena is determined not to regret anything anymore. Although now he is only used as a fall for the integrity of the household Zefran and Frisca. Allena is grateful because she and her mother have been separated from the burden of a debt that can never be repaid.

Tired of being in the room, Allena chose a walk around the hotel. See the local crafts that are so interesting. Allena has been equipped with a pocket and credit card without limit by the wealthy family. However, not a single bit crossed his mind to make a splash. Accustomed to a simple life and what it is still lived by Allena even though she has now become the daughter-in-law of a rich family.

"Don't just look at the lady, bought, bought," said someone as he patted her on the shoulder.

Allena immediately turned away with an annoyed expression to look at that presumptuous person. Allena was immediately startled and laughed, the man who patted her on the shoulder turned out to be Valendino.

"Oh, I haven't memorized your voice yet" Allena said.

And indeed Valendino weighed down his voice while reprimanding Allena. The man laughed at Allena's rapidly changing expression after finding out who was reprimanding her.

"I just finished a meeting, when I got back to the hotel I saw you here. Coincidence right? I don't need to look for you in a hotel room" Valendino said, holding Allena's hand, taking her for a walk.

Allena was shocked to look at the hand Valendino was holding. Allena turned to look at the handsome man's face which was engrossed in looking to the left and to the right. Walking so leisurely with his right hand going into his pocket and his left hand holding Allena's.

Walking slowly, Valendino seemed to enjoy their leisurely walk. Only Allena was uncomfortable with the situation. After all her current status was that of a person's wife. A wife who walks hand in hand with a man who is not her husband makes the girl feel guilty.

However, Allena could do nothing. Allena is unlikely to reveal her relationship with Zefran, as Zefran wants to cover up her second marriage.

Valendino and Zefran are best friends but that's why Allena can't tell. Because clearly Zefran wants to cover his marriage with Allena to deliberately not invite all his fraternity.

"Oh, there's a flower shop, let's stop by there," Valendino said, drawing Allena's hand.

"Welcome can we help you?" ask the store staff.

"I wanted to order a bouquet of flowers but she put it together" Valendino said, pointing at Allena.

"Oh, your girlfriend can arrange flowers too? Beautiful and talented. Mister must really like his flower arrangement?" ask the florist.

Valendino nodded strongly, Allena was flabbergasted. Valendino doesn't care if the shopkeeper mistakenly thinks Allena is his girlfriend. The man did not deny it at all, letting the shopkeeper think they were dating.

"What kind of person's name? What is her favorite flower? And want a bouquet that is small, medium, large or super large?" valendino asked acting like a shopkeeper.

The real shopkeeper immediately laughed, Allena could not help but smile.

"She's so pretty when she smiles, isn't she? That's why I have to always tease him so he always smiles" Valendino told the shopkeeper.

"True sir, your girlfriend is very beautiful" said the shopkeeper in support of Valendino.

Allena was embarrassed. Valendino kissed the back of the girl's hand. Allena grew even more astonished then turned her face away.

"Have you not been teased continue to look at the cheeks this lady has reddened," said the shopkeeper.

"Well then choose your favorite flower" Valendino told Allena.

The girl was confused, in her heart was eager to refuse Valendino's sweet treatment, as well as an offer to order her favorite flowers. Seeing Allena's doubts, Valendino spoke up.

"This flower is not for you but for my girlfriend. It's just that I don't know her favorite flower. Just pick your favorite flowers" whispered Valen.

Allena finally chooses her favorite flowers, Valen and the shopkeeper just quietly observe. Allena selects flowers from wildflowers such as Baby’s Breath, Aster mini and Chrysanthemum flowers. All the flowers she chose were white.

"The flower chosen by the lady is Baby’s Breath or baby breath which means a innocence and purity. It is related to sincerity and eternal love. Which can be symbolized for couples who want to start a new life," explained the shopkeeper while paying attention to Allena who began arranging flowers.

Valendino was stunned to hear the shopkeeper's explanation.

"And it is the Aster flower can be interpreted as a sense of wisdom, courage as well as confidence. Its shape resembles a star, used as a symbol of light and hope. The hidden meaning behind the daisies is a message of hope and love" explained the shopkeeper in a soft voice.

Valendino was again stunned to hear the shopkeeper's explanation. The man could not help but look at Allena who was busy cutting, arranging, stringing and tying him with lace.

Allena smiled looking at the small size flower bouquet in her hand. Then smiled at Valen and stepped closer to the man. Allena handed the bouquet to him. Valendino looked at the beautiful face before her with mixed feelings. Allena was astonished by Valen's gaze.

"Didn't you like it?" ask Allena.

Valendino did not answer just grabbing the flower from Allena's grasp and giving it to the shopkeeper to be paid the bill. The shopkeeper looked at the results of Allena's flower arrangement, smiled and admired it.

The shopkeeper finally gave a discount to appreciate Allena's beautiful work. Valendino refused the rebate but the shopkeeper insisted.

"This price cut is a form of hope from me that your relationship will remain lasting" said the shopkeeper.

Hearing that Valendino immediately smiled down and agreed to it. While Allena showed a confused face hearing the shopkeeper's words. After paying the bill, Valendino again held Allena's hand out of the store.

"Why did you choose these flowers?" asked Valen while walking slowly.

"These flowers were once wildflowers. Very beautiful but never a top choice like a beautiful, luxurious and graceful rose. The flowers I choose are just shrubs that are usually used as fillers or fillers, as a complement in a flower arrangement," replied Allena.

Valendino handed the flower to Allena. The girl was surprised to be unexpected because Valendino said the flower was for her boyfriend. The girl just silently stared at the bouquet, Valendino grabbed Allena's hand and forced the girl to accept it.

Allena finally received the bouquet of flowers, looking at her with teary eyes. Looking at the moved Allena, Valendino immediately hugged Allena, raised her chin and kissed her lips.

Allena's eyes widened as did Zefran and Frisca who were looking from a distance.
