Alea glanced to the right and to the left as soon as he entered the building of the Arsenic-owned company. The few people in the lobby looked towards them with faces Alea could not guess at all. It felt like he had suddenly become a top artist, or worse to be a running inmate with his head down, less a hat and hands covered with cloth because it was handcuffed, he said, he really is the center of everyone's attention.
Although not the first time to come to Arsen's office, and not the first time also always the center of attention every time walking through the hordes of people, Alea was made nervous to death. It was not because of her beauty that made all eyes turn towards her now, but because of the figure of the man who was now walking side by side with her. Mas Arsen with authoritative steps clasped his hands tightly while continuing to hold him, As if like a ferocious beast that was afraid of losing its prey.
Miraculously again, Mas Arsen who usually walked like a cheetah, now even changed like a turtle. I want Alea to pull her husband's hand back to get to Arsen's room quickly.
Several employees were seen greeting and bowing towards Arsen, but from the many people in the lobby, no one dared to ask directly about who the boss was holding. They only whispered to each other, which made Alea feel uneasy.
"Arsenic"
Calling from their left, making Arsen's move stop instantly. Alea almost hit her husband because since then she just kept walking while lowering her head. Embarrassed? No. gabe. Her husband's face is entered into the standard of men who are not shy when invited to walk together. Only, he was still not ready to be introduced like this.
And as if life was the middle of that joke on her, when she raised her head to see who called her husband's name, Alea was successfully made to want to laugh lamenting her fate when the figure of her father-in-law is what she sees now. The longer he becomes the center of people's spectacle.
About what are they thinking now? Alea was made curious about it herself. If they think that he is Arsen's sister or cousin, it doesn't matter, but what if they think that he is Arsen's mass stash? Only Arsen was married, but no one had ever seen the face of his boss' wife.
There was a curse stuck in Alea's mouth now that the Arsenes were now holding him closer to Bagas. His father-in-law was smiling brightly at the sight of an unusual sight this morning. Bagas knew, Alea requested that their marriage be hidden first until she graduated from college, but seeing her daughter-in-law now even follow Arsen to the office, making Bagas could not hide his joy.
If they had met in Arsen's study, Alea might have run into her in-laws' arms. Trusting that Alea was that close to her two in-laws, the Arsenes actually accepted her with their arms wide open. Merely, now that they were in the lobby, many tens of pairs of eyes were staring at them, Alea did not want to become more and more a spectacle material. Paid mending, this is free.
"Tumben's here early in the morning"
Not answering his son's question, Bagas instead faced his daughter-in-law and hugged Alea for a while "Father his intention to go to your house Al, want to take you for a walk, afraid of the boss. I'm meeting you here"
Alea took Bagas' hand and kissed him. Pointing Arsen with eye glance "There is something that you asked to be sent to the pah office"
Bagas immediately turned to his son who was now standing with a furrowed forehead. Only a smile appeared on Bagas' face now, at least after marrying Alea, his son's countenance now looked more diverse, not flat as before marriage.
"Pampered leaven means Al" Bagas whispered to Alea. The daughter-in-law laughed, while Arsen appeared to roll his eyes panted. Whether father or mother, if it was beside Alea, the world seemed to be turned upside down and made him who even seemed to be a son-in-law instead of a biological child.
"Father tumben to the office early in the morning. Why?" ask Arsen.
Alea glanced cynically at Arsen, her laughter disappearing instantly as her husband's cold tone rang out, as if unwilling to see his wife laughing happily today on top of her suffering.
"There's something I want to talk to you about. Al, can I pinch your spoiled husband for a minute?" in contrast to Arsen, Bagas even aggressively teased this only son. Seeing Arsen's annoyed expression was the thing that made Bagas feel that the choice to marry him to Alea was not the wrong thing.
"Please well. Being surrounded, continuing to take it home is also okay" Alea replied.
Arsen turned his head immediately towards his wife "Seriously? Can I be taken home? Do you dare to sleep alone at home tonight? Ah, kangen kangen cuddled by your demon, Al"
Not looking at Arsen knowing that her husband had a hero face on, Alea smiled at her father-in-law "May be in the pinjem. Just don't get surrounded yeah yeah yeah, just send it to the room of the CEO sir who is on the 8th floor well, Alea wait there" kissed his in-laws' hands and then turned to the hands of the Arsen mas, Arsen, Alea sauntered straight into the elevator leaving her father laughing out loud, while Arsen stood up with a super-thin smile that was magically like a sugar to Alea this morning.
Entering the elevator, Alea waved her hand towards the in-laws and her husband. There was still a smile clearly imprinted on Alea's face, as if forgetting the surroundings. But as soon as the elevator doors closed, the reflection of the people inside the elevator which was clearly seen stealing glances towards her made Alea wake up instantly.
From the reflection of the elevator door, Alea could clearly see how the people behind her started whispering one by one. Although not overtly because they would smile kindly when their gaze met at the reflection of the door, Alea was confident that the main character in their conversation was her.
And sure enough, as soon as the door opened on the 6th floor, three women got into the elevator and started talking about the rumors.
"Don't you say Arsen's fiance is on the 8th floor? Why is Angel excited he said to see Mr. Arsen dateng while holding a young girl?"
"Gue, I was downstairs. And the girl is different woy. Mel, your guy pas dateng to fiancee Mr. Arsen who privacy it, wrong see times"
Alea pulled out her phone and pretended to surf on social media. A fiancee? Which fiancee do they mean?. Alea was married to Arsen without any engagement at all. Directly because he is only a replacement for Marinka.
"Whenever my girlfriend lies! I swear, I saw the photo fitting Arsen fiancee. And the girl who is now on top. Not the one Mr. Arsen was holding"
"Seriously? The news is great if it's rich gini."
Alea sharpened her ears as one of them lowered her voice. Her fingers that were starting to cool made Alea attacked nervously at once.
"My girlfriend has a friend who printed a wedding invitation Mr. Arsen. There are even photos of Arsen sir mbak-mbak above. Wanna see?"
"Now. Want. Want."
Can't wait to know what really happened. Alea instantly turned her body and looked at all of them. The three were shocked instead of playing as Alea suddenly faced towards them.
"Can I see the invitation too?" asked Alea in a weak tone of voice. The presence of Dira who yesterday suddenly came into their lives alone was enough to make Alea have a big question mark. Then what else now? The engagement? Even the wedding invitation?.
"Sa.. I forgot mbak, it has been removed the invitation photo" said one woman with stammering. Just by looking at Alea's expression alone, the woman could definitely immediately guess if something was amiss right now.
"I wouldn't tell Arsen if I got the invitation from mbak. Please see the invitation"
The three women were making a fuss with each other. When the elevator door opened on the 8th floor, Alea pressed the number 15—top floor of this building. He should get the answer now.
Slowly one must have been, the woman who had the photo of the invitation in mind, handed her phone to Alea.
It was as if Alea's world was overturned instantly. The screen on the flat object Alea had enlarged now showed the full names of Arsen and Dira adjoining. It should not be as surprising as it turns out she is also a substitute bride Marinka. It's just Arsen's lie that makes Alea's world feel spinning instantly, especially when looking at the wedding date listed. The distance is only 1 week from the date of their wedding.
Once again, it seemed like everyone in the family was indeed playing tricks on him. Alea was made the third stunt double at a wedding party that almost failed. The main cast is Dira, the first stunt double is Marinka, and the last stunt double she eventually marries is herself.
Then, what kind of charade should Alea do now before all of them?.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
