Stuck Marriage (1)

Cuti

Carissa awoke to the sound of the adhan, Carissa got up to clean herself up and prepared to perform the prayer. Looks like Aaron has been up since last seen from the side of the empty bed.

Last night Aaron invited Carissa to stay at his apartment because it was late at night and for their safety. Carissa is made agape because this apartment is very luxurious. But this morning Carissa's admiration faded when checking the items in the kitchen were all empty. Aaron followed his wife into the kitchen, smiling guiltily at his wife who looked upset.

"I'm sorry, we just eat at home. You know I'm always at home so this house I'm not ready for cooking ingredients." Carissa nodded.

"Why don't you just sell your apartment? Rather than not living, right?" Aaron shakes.

"This is the first apartment I bought with my hard work, so I'm just here." Carissa nodded.

"How's mama mas doing?" Carissa remembered she had not heard from her father-in-law for a long time.

"Mama wants to stay at Aunt Vella's place while opening a boutique." Carissa nodded in gratitude if her mother-in-law did not dissolve into deep sadness.

"Dear, we're home." Aaron came along with Carissa's bag and her briefcase. Carissa gave a little laugh.

"This is my bag, I hold my own." Aaron handed the bag to Carissa's hand. The two couples walked out of the apartment.

At home Nadirah became worried also if Aziz to tell the story of last night on the Aaron bang, Nadirah waiting for the arrival of Carissa and Aaron with worry. Aziz who had noticed Nadirah's movements smiled slightly, then normalized his expression approaching the girl.

"Why do you look so nervous?" Nadirah laughed blandly.

"It's okay bang, I'm not used to fidgeting." Nadirah tried to look calm, Aziz laughed again then looked at the girl's bead eyes.

"You don't worry, I don't have a bucket mouth as long as you want to work together." Glup! Nadirah had difficulty swallowing his saliva, Aziz knew what became his fear.

"Hehehehe. I went to my room first, bang, I have a job to do." Nadirah passed immediately without hearing Azizi's reply.

Aziz just shook his head looking at the silly looking girl in front of him just now. Somehow sometimes Nadirah's behavior like that is like its own entertainment for Aziz.

"Welcome back, sir." Aaron nodded and held Carissa who was also smiling. Aaron gave their belongings to the waiter and immediately went to the dining table, where Aziz and Nadirah had already been. Carissa looked in wonder at Nadirah who looked agitated.

"Dec, are you sick?" Nadirah smiled and shook her head looking at Carissa. Aaron watched his sister in full search. Aziz smiled looking at those who seemed to have improved.

"Akhhhh. Why do you love to play all the cubits?" Aaron looked at Carissa annoyed.

"You did see Nadirah like that, you were afraid of her Nadir." Nadirah and Aziz giggled to see Aaron who was holding back was upset.

"And I'm curious, you're asking him if he's sick or not all." Carissa immediately takes a meal without serving Aaron who blames her.

Aziz and Nadirah took a meal without speaking. Everyone read the meal prayer and started eating as usual. Finish eating Aaron and Carissa go upstairs to clean themselves up.

Seeing the departure of his brother-in-law and brother Nadirah immediately approached Aziz who had walked to the room where he was staying.

"Well, can Nadirah ask you a minute?" Aziz raised an eyebrow.

"Ask what?" Nadirah took a breath.

"Mama's not going home, is she? I've called but your number is off, her social media is gone." Aziz stared fixedly at Nadirah.

"Your mom's gonna live in the town where Aunt Vella is the one Aaron told me to." Nadirah nodded, relieved as well that meant her mother was fine there.

"So your goal is about Ben, not your mama?" Nadirah is looking for the right words.

"It's not like bang, I'm just not ready to be angry bang Aaron, let alone the more distant mom papa also married again." Aziz nodded.

"That's not as chatty as that if you know, unless Aaron asks." Nadirah kept smiling and hugged Aziz. Aziz cleared his throat loudly making Nadirah let go of his embrace.

"Big good, doesn't mean you're free to hug Brother." Aziz patted his body. Nadirah looked at the man annoyed, Nadirah's really supportive also accidentally. Nadirah passes with a thousand curses to Aziz. Aziz shook his head at Nadirah's departure.

"Aren't you in college today?" Carissa shakes.

"I'm taking my leave because I met my papa's lawyer yesterday. It turns out my father is rich, there is a legacy for me. Unfortunately, I just found out now. I took a leave of absence to be safer without fear of being kidnapped or flanked by people who targeted me. My uncle says Mr. Michael's still after me." Aaron looked at Carissa with narrowed eyes.

"You're sorry you just found out you're a rich kid?" Carissa looked at Aaron dislike, her husband looks less happy.

"No, I'm sorry that I knew I could do something useful." Carissa continued to comb her hair.

"You're not leaving me because of that treasure, are you?" Carissa shakes. Aaron stared in disbelief at Carissa.

"You why the hell mas? I'm not going to stay with you, I don't really care about the treasure." Carissa looked at Aaron strangely.

"Mas keep your promise, watch if you leave the mas because of the treasure." Carissa until shortness of breath because she was held very tightly by her husband.

"Mas, I'm not that easy to stay with you either." Carissa looked at her husband softly.

"You're fine at home." Aaron kissed his wife's lips and went to the office.

Carissa is getting ready for a cooking course. Her cooking teacher who came to this house, Carissa would learn to cook in a very spacious lower room, Bi Sitti had already prepared everything yesterday.

"Sir, didn't you sniff?" Carissa smiled at Nadirah.

"No, I'm taking my leave." Nadirah smiled mischievously.

"Bak's done until the holidays?" Carissa frowned, then shook her head.

"No, there's no other problem so you have to leave." Nadirah.

"Keep up, what's the matter? Can't you clean up?" Carissa laughed out loud.

"Bak wants to learn to cook, here you come rather than curious." Nadirah followed her brother-in-law. Nadirah was amazed to see the room where Carissa learned to cook like in movies.

"This brat's Aaron's ready?" Carissa shakes.

"Kirain mas Aaron began to pay equal attention mbak." Carissa just laughed.

"This is Bi Sitti who prepared mbak just request only mbak want what kind."

Nadirah smiled at Carissa who looked happy, hopefully mbak and brother of her household safe and prosperous.
