The Secret Marriage of the Teacher

Not Cousins

“What do you like to watch?” jonathan asked his wife to enter the cinema.

“Any origin do not horror, fear of not being able to sleep,” said Gaby while looking at the movie posters lined up neatly in a mica frame.

“Now you've slept together, so it doesn't matter if you're scared, I'll just hug.”

“Modus,” Gaby's lips are directly embraced by Jonathan.

Gaby can only give up when Jonathan actually picks a horror movie for their date tonight.

“Don't be afraid, just hug me whenever you don't want to see the scene and later at night I will gladly hug you until morning,” Jonathan said as he patted his own shoulder.

Gaby rolled her eyeballs and pursed her lips even though in her heart she felt happy for having a reason to hug Jonathan shamelessly.

“Awas addicted,” whispered Jonathan while chuckling, even he had time to steal a kiss on Gaby's cheek.

“But I don't mind if you're hooked in my arms.”

“Why did Nathan become a pervert man since he stopped being a teacher ? Mr. Jonathan I know is a shitty math teacher, saucy ass and jutek.”

“If saucy is indeed reality, if it sucks it is because you deny your feelings that actually like me.”

Gaby rolled her eyeballs again because it made Jonathan laugh and grabbed him with anxiety. Apparently having a young wife is not always a hassle.

Out of the cinema, Gaby looks pouted because there are too many scenes that make the heart beat because of tension and the sound of music made creepy. Even several times Gaby was surprised by a creepy creature that appeared suddenly.

As a result, for most of the film, Gaby hides her face in Jonathan's arms.

“Don't pout so. Every guy who asks girls out always makes horror movies their mainstay. When else have a chance to hug a scared girl.”

Gaby hits Jonathan's laughing shoulder.

“Mas Nathan has often hugged my kiss in the room so also need a chance to kayak earlier.”

“It feels different between in the same room in the cinema.”

“Haiiss, really mode anyway.”

Jonathan grabbed Gaby's fingers to hold on to her arms. The two walked down the mall area without feeling as worried as before.

“Jonathan.”

Both of them stopped and turned around as the sound of the call was heard from behind them.

“Tante Anita,” greet Jonathan with a smile. One hand restrained Gaby's hand, who wanted to release her grip on Jonathan's arm.

The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes and walked over to Gaby and Jonathan who were still holding on. The eyes of the woman called Aunt Anita looked at the two who were dressed in a couple and further sharpened her gaze looking at Gaby cynically.

“Not you cousin Jonathan ?”

“I..”

“She's my wife, Aunt. Sorry if I lied that day. I was married 8 months ago, long before Maya got into the hospital.”

“What do you mean ? You introduced him as your cousin.”

“Sorry Aunt, I will explain if indeed Aunt wants to know.”

Aunt Anita approached, her eyes looking at Gaby full of emotion and her smile filled with ridicule.

Plaque !

Jonathan pulls Gaby straight behind him. His hands clenched, annoyed that mama Maya had already dared to slap his wife in public which made some visitors stop their activities and stare towards the three with their various thoughts.

“Do not ever hurt my wife again or this case will I bring to the legal path,” stressed Jonathan with an angry look.

He immediately pulled Gaby's hand and took her to the parking lot on the basement floor. One hand picked up the phone in his trouser pocket and pressed Sofian's Om number.

Jonathan immediately recounted the incident that Gaby had just experienced and asked Om Sofian for help to ensure that there would be no video footage of the incident circulating on any social media.

“Sorry,” Jonathan said as he stroked Gaby's head in a tone full of regret.

The car he was driving had already left the mall they had come to just now.

”Nothing, not wrong Mas Nathan,” said Gaby slowly with a smile.

“It's my fault. If only that night I hadn't recognized you as my cousin and spoken frankly to the Maya family, there wouldn't have been any of this. Sorry.”

“When the condition of our marriage is limited to a contract agreement and Mas Nathan intends to return to Bu Maya after Mas Nathan's obligations expire, so it's natural that you guys still maintain good relations and do not want parents Bu Maya to know about me.”

“Gabriela.”

Gaby grabbed Jonathan's hand and held it with a smile.

“Don't worry too much about the slap earlier. I'm used to receiving punches from mama Gina and Jihan, and that's not how much.”

“I just promised I wouldn't let people like Mama Gina and Jihan hurt you, but what happened was that Aunt Anita slapped you in front of my eyes,” Jonathan with a face full of regret.

“All unintentional, don't be so sad. Today our date is very special and I will never forget because Mas Nathan was the first guy who made me really feel special. Even papi never showed me that I was a special princess as papi always said.”

Gaby touched Jonathan's arm holding the steering wheel and looked forward more. Her lips still showed a smile even though her heart was a little sore.

“Only one I want to make sure. Does Mas Nathan really love me and will never leave me even if Bu Maya begs Mas Nathan to come back to her ?”

“Of course I really love you and will never again be tempted by Maya or any other woman.”

Gaby smiled faintly, her heart unsure of Jonathan's promise.

“What if the past condition repeats itself ? Ms. Maya is dying and only Mas Nathan can keep her alive. What Mas Nathan will still choose Mother Maya as before or Mas Nathan will fulfill my request that Mas Nathan stay.”

“I will choose to meet your request,” Jonathan said with confidence.

“Then the problem did not need to be extended again. I just need to make sure that Mas Nathan will always be next to me no matter what.”

After that, the two just shut up and listen to the sound of the song and the broadcaster heard from the car audio.

Gaby shakes her head at the door and closes her eyes, letting Jonathan take her home.

***

Go home soon ! Somebody wants mommy to talk to you.

Maya frowned as she read the message that mommy Anita sent. The feeling was immediately unpleasant. One salon staff was tidying up her hair and the other staff was working on foot treatments.

“What's the problem, Mom ?” ask Maya who directly contacted the mommy via mobile phone.

“Too long and mommy wants to talk to you directly at home. If it is done in the salon, do not go anywhere else !”

Not yet Maya asked again, Mommy Anita has severed her cellphone connection Maya sighed. His premonition said that this had everything to do with Jonathan because all this time only the man's problem could upset his parents.
