The Cold Household

3. Start Learning to Love

As per their promise, Alex and Zavria went together in a family meal that night. The two looked extremely harmonious in front of Alex's parents.

“Iih, the Alex if nyusahin pull his ears,” said Alex's mother was chatting with Zavria. While the girl looked smiling, her eyes glanced at Alex who was having a serious conversation with her father and brother.

“Heem, later Zavria pull his ears, all kick his butt,” said Zavria with the oddity at the end of the sentence. His heart warmed up to feel the comfort that he had not felt for a long time.

“You're very excited, anyway.” The mother-in-law was rustling, even pinching Zavria's cheeks slowly.

“Darling, it's already malem, we're home now.” Alex arrives suddenly and sits next to Zavria who is sitting on the sofa with her mother. His hands were coiled around the girl's slender waist.

Zavria looked smiling, comfortable with Alex's warm embrace.

“Lho, want to go home? New mom also chat with Zavria,” said the mother looked disappointed.

“But this is malem, Ma. Any time, yeah?” talk Alex to his mother. It's nothing, they have to work tomorrow, it's not good for Alex to make the wife tired later.

“But ..” The mother still wanted to dodge, but the words were stifled.

“Udah, Ma, later if there is a time Zavria must be here, Mama just calm down,” replied Zavria with a sweet smile. Actually he did not want to separate, but what power he remembers tomorrow will work, especially this is a word from the husband, Zavria wants to obey.

“Ma, later we play to their apartment, how?” said Gio came suddenly in the chat of the three of them and gave an offer.

“Bener, yes?” said the mother. Gio answered with a nod and was greeted by the mother's eager beauty to chat with her daughter-in-law again.

Finally, after a little persuasion, the mother would also let them go home from the mansion.

Their journey is filled only with silence. Whether it's Alex or Zavria, no one wants to vote. Both of them seemed to enjoy this silence. I don't know, silence is like having its own comfort that makes them really like the atmosphere this time.

After arriving, the two entered the apartment together. Alex opens the door and gives Zavria access to enter first, followed by her.

Zavria enters the room, while Alex follows her. After entering the room, as if having his own instincts, the two even faced each other.

“Capek?” alex suddenly became a concern.

Zavria seems to be fine with the change in their relationship that is starting to improve. The girl nodded.

“Yes already, shower abis it break!” ask again. Zavria just followed the instructions.

Finally, tonight they slept together for the second time.

“On yesterday agreement, want to take now?” alex asked while tidying up the long-sleeved black shirt. His hands reached for a long tie of the same color, there was only a slight pattern that became a bit of a differentiator, trying to put that thing on his collar.

“Yes, later I will go to your Office bring the file you need to sign.” Zavria got up from the chair at the dresser after feeling that her makeup was enough. The girl approached to take over the long tie from Alex's hand and wear it painstakingly.

Alex just watched in silence not to protest or interrupt. “How do you think our marriage is the same?” ask Alex suddenly.

“This is important.” When she finished, Zavria reached for her husband's work coat and helped wear it. “Well that's the advantage I got, or you.”

“...” Alex was silent. A little surprised to hear that last sentence.

“Don't think macem-macem, I haven't loved you yet, but that doesn't mean I'd think you're just a stranger. You're my husband, I'm your wife. You belong to me and I belong to you.” Zavria tidied up a little Alex's work coat. After feeling enough, the girl went to take her sling bag on the dresser.

Grep's!

Zavria smiled in anguish. “Kalo you?” ask Zavria.

“No,” straightforward Alex fast. For some reason, he spontaneously shook his head.

“I also don't.” Zavria again tried to continue the journey, but Alex's grip back felt made him turn around confused. Zavria turned with a face as if asking.

“Can we behave like a happy couple out there? As if we love each other?” ask Alex again. I don't know, those words just slid from his lips.

“Why pretend if we can make it happen?” asked Zavria with a sweet smile.

As if he understood, Alex nodded his head. “I'll learn to love you.”

“Me too,” reply Zavria. After a few seconds, Zavria then went to the kitchen and prepared the food he had cooked before he took a bath. In the back, Alex follows along and helps Zavria prepare the food. Once everything is ready, the two start breakfast.

Yes, they are trying to accept and reconcile this marriage. They do not want to continue to make this marriage cold and tasteless.

The level white feet just put themselves on the asphalt in front of a large office in Jakarta. Zavria came out of the passenger seat and looked at Alex. Yes, Alex decided to take Zavria to the office. He said to get them close and to love each other.

“This cheer I'm coming,” tell Zavria.

“You sure? Don't want me to come here?” ask Alex to make an offer. It occurred to him, how the wife went to his office if his car stayed in their apartment.

“No, this is my need, so should I meet you,” push Zavria smooth. Although his face was flat, but the look in his eyes emitted a slight warmth that fascinated Alex.

“Well, I'll go now,” Alex said.

“Hm ... be careful.” Right after Zavria said that, the windshield was closed and the expensive branded car drove away from Mahendra's corporate estate.

Day time is approaching. The sun is starting to get over your head. Lunch time has arrived, some office workers seem to leave their jobs for a moment in order to ralex themselves and thoughts that hurt.

It was in stark contrast to Zavria who was preparing to prepare some papers and put them in the map. Soon she will go to the husband's office.

Before long, the phone ringtone rang. Zavria stared for a moment, then resumed her work. It didn't take long to finish. Once enough was felt, Zavria raised the call.

“Halo?”

Oh, it turns out from his friend anyway.

“Hah? The malvin? Isn't he in Canada?” Zavria's forehead creased for a moment.

“Lo love?” zavria. His body he threw on his big chair and then leaned on the back of the chair.

“OK, I get it.” And then the call was turned off unilaterally by Zavria.

Brak!

Before long, the door of his greatness was opened by force by someone, causing a loud noise.

“ZAVRIANA!!”
