Sharing Love: Me, My Honey Best Friend

chapter 2

Al arrived in front of his mansion. The house he occupied with his first wife Citra. He put his foot inside. He continued to step up to the main room.

There, Citra was pensively staring out the window. Al hugged Citra from behind and leaned her head on the wife's shoulder.

"How, Mas?" tanyakanya.

"I've done it. Are you sure you're okay?" ask Al sesedu.

The image smiles even though it looks very forced. Al took Citra back into his arms. Kissing the top of his head in droves.

The man understood, the reason Citra asked him to marry Vienna. His wife had already told the Viennese story.

Vienna and Citra were friends. Citra has long been asking Vienna to marry. But the girl continued to refuse. She was traumatized by her parents' marriage.

His mother had to separate from his father. Because of his father, he committed domestic violence. The same thing Citra had felt before meeting Al.

It was God who kept convincing him of sincere love. For three years of their marriage, Al never committed violence. Al always gives her a sense of security.

Both of Al's parents loved him very much. The image that was once full of trauma is gone. 

When her little daughter was born her life grew happier. Life also feels complete because of it. Al kept showering him with love.

When her daughter died six months ago, and soon Citra was convicted of no longer being able to conceive, making the image very down. Since then, Al's parents have changed. They need an heir for their business. And that, must be born from Al's own seed.

Fed up of hearing her in-laws whining, Citra decided to accept this polygamy. On condition, the woman to be married to Al, the decisive image.

At Citra's wedding, Vienna was unable to attend. Incidentally, at that time Vienna had a job that could not be left behind. Incidentally, Vienna had never met in person or seen a picture of her husband.

It was used by Citra to bring them closer and arrange their marriage without Vienna knowing. And when Citra asked Al to introduce Vienna to her in-laws, it turned out that her in-laws were very fond of Vienna. At that time Citra knew, if the choice was right. 

*****

Day changes night. Al's cell phone reads. The image that was there glanced at the name of the caller.

Vienna? Confused image. Should he pick up the phone?

He also knocked on the bathroom door. Because right now, Al is cleaning his body.

"Mas, Vienna phone," he said a little fast.

"A moment" he answered from within.

Before long, Al came out with a towel wrapped around his waist. Her hair was dripping with water. The smell of soap and shampoo out filled the sense of smell of the image.

"Wina called you" she said, turning her wild thoughts to the sight of her husband's body.

Al grunting. He picked up his phone when it went off again.

"Hello" he said.

"Well, still in the office?"

"Yes. Why?"

"What, brother is coming home?" 

Al looked at Citra. Citra also says yes without a voice. Al's eyebrows linked when he saw his wife answer that. Again Citra coded Al to immediately answer the Vienna question.

"A little while."

Al immediately disconnected the phone when Vienna said yes. Then, he put his phone back and looked at Citra.

"I don't want to argue, Mom. Go home. Vienna is waiting for you." Al closed his eyes for a moment.

"It's not as easy as you think" he murmured softly.

Al chose to leave Citra and headed for the wardrobe. He took a knee-length t-shirt and cargo pants. Then, he kissed Citra's forehead and said goodbye.

"I went to Vienna first." Al immediately stepped his foot out.

*****

Vienna was asleep when Al returned. His tired body after a day of cleaning the house and tidying it up, made him sleep soundly.

Al could not wake him. He also let Vienna sleep. Al chose to go into his study. He opened his laptop and checked his email.

Until the time shows exactly at twelvepm, Al returns to the main room. Where Vienna is asleep.

He stretched out his body and looked at Vienna. It looks so peaceful. The man recalled their first meeting.

The woman before him looked very gentle. But quite hard-hearted. It was quite difficult for Al to tear down the barrier that this woman had built.

Al smiled remembering his struggle.

You deserve to be fought. My heart is starting to like you. Even though that place isn't entirely for you. Sorry, because you have to be involved in my household drama and Citra. I hope you won't hate me or Citra when you find out the truth behind our marriage. Especially in the image. After all, he is your best friend.

Not felt, Al was already lulled by his dream.

*****

Day change day. Everything is still going on without any problems. Vienna still does not know about the marriage of Al and Citra his best friend.

Vienna also forgot about the photo of the little boy who was so similar to her husband. And a little like someone Viennese knows. But he forgot who.

Today, exactly one month is the wedding of Vienna and Al. Vienna wants to stop by her in-laws. He drove his car to his father-in-law's house.

"Honey, let's go in" asked Mami from Al.

"Mommy, healthy?" ask Vienna.

"healthy. Is there any happy news?" ask his father-in-law while stroking the flat belly of Vienna.

"Sorry, Mi is not there yet" replied Vienna grimly.

"It's okay. Just try again." Vienna nodded.

There, Vienna spent time studying her husband's favorite food. Vienna wanted to surprise her husband. It will make this special dish.

In the afternoon, Vienna said goodbye. Arriving home, Vienna prepared a variety of dishes at the dining table. Then, he cleansed himself.

Until the time has shown at seven o'clock in the night, Al has not returned. Vienna sent her husband a message.

Not long after, the message was answered. Vienna read it immediately.

Sorry, baby, I'm going to be late. Eat first. Don't wait for me. You'll be sick later.

Viennese smiling gets little attention from her husband. Her life felt complete when she got a lot of affection from her husband. Love, which he had been receiving since childhood.

Vienna also remembered his best friend who had the same fate. How's it going? Vienna searches for her contacts and sends her a message.

Citra, I'm married. Why were you not present at the time? Miss you. Let's meet up.

Vienna smiled after sending the message. She wanted to introduce her husband to her best friend. He misses her too. For almost three years they have not met. Lastly, when Citra was pregnant. 

Vienna so imagine when his stomach enlarged like Citra first. Ah, it must be happy. Vienna once found the happy face of his best friend when his stomach was enlarged.

"I can't wait to feel our baby's presence here." Vienna stroked her still flat stomach and smiled.
