The Cold Household
7. Lousy
The two agreed to discuss allegations that Zavtia had a mistress after dinner. However, in fact, the two are indifferent to each other and no longer discuss this afterwards.
Honestly speaking, from Zavria's point of view, this was really a baseless accusation that he could not accept. However, in the end Zavria chose not to discuss it anymore. For him, improving his relationship with Alex was not as easy as making the peace treaty itself.
From Alex's point of view. The man was eager to discuss this. However, he did, because in addition to making their relationship a little tenuous, he still wanted to know about the man he accused of being Zavria's mistress first.
•
Today Zavria left for the office as usual. These days his relationship with Alex is a bit tenuous. However, the two also do not want to close themselves and try to be open to each other.
From: My Husband, Alex
To: Me
[Have arrived?]
07.27 am.
A message came in. Zavria opened the phone and slightly smiled reading the short message. Despite having tried to open up to each other, in fact, the fact that Zavria's trust and disappointment in the man had not changed in the slightest. Not that he doesn't believe anymore, just a little less that's all.
From: Me
To: My Husband, Alex
[Yes]
07.30 am.
One quick reply Zavria gave. The next few seconds, the woman seemed to be busy at work.

From: Me
To: Zavriana Mahendra Alexander
[Can we have lunch together?]
11.48 am.
Alex sent the message. Sighing softly, the man turned to stare at the large glass window not far from where he was sitting at the moment. Hah .., if recalled, it was in that window that he saw Zavria with another man.
Speaking of Zavria, Alex did not turn a blind eye to the change in attitude of the woman. Despite serving him as usual, but the look in his eyes clearly showed vigilance. Is it as easy as his trust in someone? Why is it that Alex is the only one who does something wrong?
Never mind, forget it! His chest rumbled if he kept thinking about it.
From: Zavriana Mahendra Alexander
To: Me
[Yes, in the restaurant***]
11. 51 am.
Alex started working on some files. There is no special purpose he invites his wife to lunch together, this he does hope to improve their relationship, which inexplicably just started, has come a storm.
•
“Hah ..” Sighing tiredly, Zavria cleared up some of the files and began to prepare. “ ... hello!” Zavria contacted someone using the phone on her desk.
“I want to eat out, remember to worry about him, don't let your guard down!” press the woman. Today she will have lunch with her husband.
“Hm.” After muttering like that, the call was ended by Zavria. The girl's eyes were staring at the company's financial expense report which showed that last night someone pulled in a sizable amount of money. From the record report, that money was for the cost of the company's new project. There was nothing strange actually, but what made him have to be extra careful was, the fact that the project leader was Raisya. She was sure that the girl must have forced her father to give her this big project.
“Ck, dammit!” seems slow. It was still clear when he got a project, and it took quite a long time. While Raisya, in just a week has got a project that is even much bigger than his first project.
Sighing for a moment, Zavria tried to forget about it and began to move towards the CEO's room. He'll meet his uncle first, after which he'll go to lunch with Alex.
•
“I denger-denger uncle gave Raisya the project in Bali,” said Zavria after a moment to put a glass containing warm tea. He looked at the uncle who just finished drinking his coffee. Ah, speaking of coffee, Zavria really doesn't like the drink. I don't know, no matter how much you put sugar in it, it's still bitter in its tongue. Zavria is a little sensitive to the things she eats and drinks. The woman drank the tea of choice, could not carelessly. Not that he wants pretentious or anything, but how else that's his taste. Some foods he does not like such as: Shrimp and watermelon. Not an allergy, but Zavria really does not like either the aroma or the taste. It doesn't fit on his tongue.
“Ya, uncle gave it.” The uncle smiled, understanding the intent of this meeting.
“But ... why? Do you know that it's a big project? If it fails, how? And again, Raisya it's still new uncle, still lay the same things kek it.” Although he had tried to calm down, but in fact his breath was breathless after saying that. Huff ... Zavria really can't control her emotions if it's the mother's company.
“Don't worry, uncle is sure he will do all this work with satisfactory results,” said the uncle tried to calm Zavria. In addition, he also wants the nephew to start trusting and have a good relationship with his son. “Zavriana!” call the uncle again.
Zavria listen. If you have mentioned his full name, it means that the uncle is very serious.
Ronald —paman Zavria— holds the nephew's shoulder using one of his hands. “Please trust Raisya this time!”
•
“Hah ..!” Breath for the umpteenth time Zavria did. His eyes stared at the drink in front of him with no interest. He is currently at the restaurant where he promised Alex he would have lunch together.
“Please trust Raisya this time! Uncle knows you always keep an eye on him, even you ask for financial statements every day.”
The words of his uncle a few minutes ago were still ringing clearly in his mind. He knew his uncle was the CEO of the company, but he didn't think he would know that far.
“It's hard!” mumbling slowly.
“Have a long wait?” alex asked suddenly Zavria's daydreams were up. The woman turned her head clumsily and slightly nodded without any real reason she did not know. He had heard Alex ask him what he knew, so he nodded.
Alex took a seat in front of Zavria. Calling the waiter when she realizes Zavria has not ordered the food. “Sorry, it was jammed!” While waiting, Alex took the time to apologize for the delay.
“Iya, ngak papa,” said Zavria with a sweet smile.
“What'd you order, Ma'am, Mas?” said the waiter who came while putting the menu book on the table.
•
Their lunch was filled with silence. It seemed like they were still too awkward to start a conversation with each other.
After lunch, the two were still in silence. A little bit of fretfulness and comfort becomes a feeling that comes together. Silence that occurs in the absence of noise is a favorite of its own, be it for Alex or Zavria. Meanwhile, both are also worried about the consequences of silence that will widen widely, may end in divorce. Huh, scary!
“I anterin,” says Alex absolute. Zavria who was preparing to leave just nodded in agreement. About the car parked outside, Zavria will have his subordinates take it later.
