That Cute Woman is my wife
Chapters. 30. Really Painful.
In a cave, Alea was twirling her food. It's been 15 minutes for the woman to do the same. Alea had no appetite since she heard Javier's words as if he thought they didn't exist.
"When do you want to turn that food around Al?". Dina's question disperse Alea's daydream.
"Gue doesn't eat Din". Alea's face withered like the petals of a flower sucked in honey.
"Lo what's the problem?. Same story as Al". Dina held onto Alea's hand, the woman tried to understand Alea's heart condition.
"Din, am I wrong to admire my husband?". Alea's statement jolted Dina, the eyes of the woman who works as an obstetrician were perfectly rounded.
"Wait, don't tell me you've fallen in love with your husband?". Ask Dina with full investigation. Alea raised both of his shoulders.
"Come Din. I don't understand either".
"What do you know?". Tanya Dina with an almost fused forehead.
"Gue felt hurt when Javier said I wasn't important. Even he blatantly said if he married me just for his ambition alone". Alea's eyes began to glaze over, she felt disappointed and hurt at her haughty husband.
"You know for yourself from the beginning how your marriage is. Isn't it weird that Javier thinks you're not important?". Dina's statement only dampened Alea's spirit, the woman looked even more withered. Her sad face depicts that the woman is very disappointed in her husband.
"Gue is aware of Din. I'm nobody in Javier's eyes. Until whenever I can't change him. It's just, it feels too painful. Hix... Hix... Hicks...". Alea sobbed to love herself. What a pity Alea's fate.
"Al, I think you're in love with Javier". Dina felt sorry for her best friend. For the first time the woman fell in love, but her love was rejected before it was revealed.
"Din, how should I?. I don't want this feeling to keep growing. Is this how it feels to be rejected before fighting?". Alea rubbed the tears that had escaped on her smooth cheeks.
The two women ended a conversation that lasted quite a long time. Time to go home.

At 20:30, Alea entered the room with Javier.
"Where did you run from until you got home this late?". Javier asked with a flat face but full of emphasis. Instead of answering Javier's question, Alea went into the bathroom to clean up. Javier was astonished by Alea's silence. The man waited for almost an hour.
"Are you imprisoned in there?". Javier asked when he saw Alea had finished with her bathing ritual and had been wearing pajamas. "Answer me Alea!". He continued then with a sharp voice until it felt very slicing Alea's ears and heart.
"What do you want to know?". Alea asked as she folded her hands on her chest.
"Tell me, where have you been?".
"Am I that important that you want to know where I was before?". Alea's reply made Javier's heart slightly pinched. The man recalled the incident earlier this morning where he said that Alea was not an important woman in his life.
"Who said you were important?". Reply Javier in a flat voice. As if he didn't care.
"Then stop asking".
'Ok, why is he?. Angry home. I should be the one getting angry here'. Inner Javier.
*****
Early in the morning Alea had already looked neat. The woman uses a pink mini dress patterned with white jasmine flowers. Her hair in the booth and small rose-patterned hairpin adorned Alea's brown hair, the woman using glasses-free lenses that used to decorate her net, adding to the beauty points of the woman.
"I'm going to Mama's house. For a few days I'll stay there". Reply Alea. since getting married five months ago, Alea has never stayed at the home of her parents, except just visiting. Because today is Saturday, he took the time to visit the parents who had given birth to him.
"Who gave you permission?. And why are you wearing that shirt? And your glasses, why aren't you wearing them?". Ask Javier in succession. The man was a little fascinated by his wife's appearance. It's a rare thing for Javier.
"Do I need your permission to wear this shirt? or this lens?".
"Ehem. I don't care about your looks. But I attach great importance to my reputation, what would anyone say if they saw Javier Alexander's wife look like that?". Javier asked by showing Alea using his chin.
"Whatever". Alea rolled her eyes feeling offended by her husband. He did not want to start his morning arguing.
"I'm coming. Waitme". Tell Javier to leave Alea to clean up in the bathroom.

15 Minutes later, Javier was tidy with a black shirt and blue jeans and a white sneaker. Sunglasses that are worn decorate the face of his appearance, adding to the good looks that are always attached to him.
"Let's go". Javier hugged Alea's shoulder waiting for him in the living room.
"You don't want breakfast first?". Ask Mami Javier who just came out of the room.
"Sir Mi, we will have breakfast at Mama Alea's house only. Mumpung".
"alright. Careful. Greetings to Mom and Dad, you love me". Mami Javier rubbed Alea's head gently. The middle-aged woman loved her daughter-in-law like a child.
"We're leaving Mi". Alea and Javier kissed the middle-aged woman on the back of the hand and left the house that was the shelter of the two.
