The Secret Marriage of the Teacher

Difficult Request

Jonathan stopped his car in the office lobby and handed the keys to the security guard.

He rushed to the meeting room on the 5th floor because Kendra was waiting for him there.

“Leo ?” jonathan's eyes puffed up as he looked at the figure of the man he met at the Maya family home.

“We meet again Jonathan,” Leo smiled faintly and remained seated in his chair.

“You already know each other ?” asked Kendra with a brow.

“Don't tell me you came here to confess that you're the brains behind the warehouse fire. Once your love is the same Maya to want to replace the position of Martin?” jonathan asked with a faint smile.

”Martin doesn't know any fire issues. I was the one who planned it all because I hate you so much. You've made Maya hurt and cry for a selfish man like you.”

Jonathan laughed softly, not showing the slightest emotion even Kendra who was immediately furious because she knew what Maya was like.

“Not Maya does use tears to melt people's hearts ? I don't know how often he cries to make people give in and obey his will. People say crocodile tears,” said Jonathan while laughing slowly make Leo more emotional.

Kendra interrupted, showing a message coming in from the receptionist and Jonathan nodded in agreement.

“Fetch him in front of the elevator,” Jonathan said in a soft voice. Kendra got up and left the meeting room.

“Do not use Maya again for any purpose because I will not let you hurt her many times,” Leo said.

“I should be angry and disappointed that Maya received back my love when she had slept with another man and I am sure that you are not the first for her.”

“Do not insult Maya again !” leo snapped until he kicked the table.

“I've heard it a lot for a long time, but like you, I deny it and assume Maya is not that kind of woman. Unfortunately Maya's attitude.”.

“Enough !” Leo went back to the table and woke up.

Just then the door of the room opened again and not only did Kendra appear but another man was standing behind her.

“Martin ?”

“Leo ? Why is it here ?”

Jonathan smiled faintly, it felt funny because he was sure the two men in front of him would argue over who would be the brains of the arsonist.

“Don't listen to her confession because it's all just to attract Maya's sympathy,” Martin said as he looked at Jonathan who nodded.

“But it was me who gave the idea and executed our plan,” stressed Leo.

Kendra shook her head with a frown looking at the time-wasting debate.

“Sorry that I interrupted, but I am sure that the intention of the arrival of the two of you here is not to discuss who the brain of the arsonist. This problem we have submitted to the authorities, so let them determine who did it.” Martin and Leo both looked at Jonathan.

“I want to talk to you, four eyes,” firmly Martin looked at Jonathan with a flat face.

“Martin, elo..” Martin only glanced at Leo while Jonathan gestured to Kendra to invite Leo out.

“Maya is positively pregnant and Leo doesn't know about this,” Martin said as they stayed together indoors.

“So Leo brains the culprit ?”

“Gue don't want my niece to be born when her father is in jail.”

“It is not me who decides who is at fault, so I cannot answer your request. We are both business people so you certainly understand that the losses that must be borne are not only in terms of material.”

Martin was silent for a moment, the look on his face looked tangled and was in a dilemma with the situation he faced. Several times he looked like he was breathing.

“I ask you for help,” Martin said in a soft voice.

“Hopefully Maya can change after pregnancy and appreciate the people who are willing to sacrifice for her happiness. But to determine who is responsible, I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill your request. Moreover, I am sure that you also know that this company is entirely owned by my wife, so all my decisions must be discussed with many parties, especially my wife.”

Martin was silent as he tapped his fingers on the table and heaved a heavy sigh several times.

*****

Gaby just got back from the supermarket across the street from the apartment. His nose smelled the perfume Jonathan used to smell.

”No can ! Can't be !” gaby said to himself while shaking his head.

He went straight to the kitchen to tidy up his groceries, his eyes wrinkled when he saw a bottle of cold mineral water on the dining table.

Gaby's heart was pounding because she believed that someone had entered her apartment. He was looking for a tool in the kitchen that could be used to protect himself.

“Pak Nathan ?” his eyes immediately widened when he saw the figure of the man he had avoided lying on the sofa in front of the television.

Jonathan who had fallen asleep immediately jumped up and blinked his eyes and massaged his peyipis because a little dizzy due to surprise to hear Gaby's screeches.

“Bapak why here ? Where do you know where I live and can get in here ?”

“Tany one-on-one dong, Bi. Just this time you woke up I wear a shouting event so.”

“Now you are out of here ! The arrival of Mr. Nathan is not expected here.”

Gaby pulls Jonathan's arm but instead of standing up, the man pulls Gaby back until the two embrace each other on the couch.

“Release no !” Gaby tries to push Jonathan's body to support her.

“Bapak has broken the rules for daring to enter people's apartments without permission !” gaby's nagging as he continues to try to keep Jonathan away from above his body.

“No husband is considered to be in violation when entering the apartment of his SAH wife,” Jonathan asserted with a sweet smile made Gaby roll her eyes with a sloppy face.

“And your husband wants to collect his promise,” Jonathan whispered as he blew Gaby's ear.

“Father away from me now or I will hate you for life,” warned Gaby who this time no longer rebelled.

“I will wake up after punishing you for still calling her own husband Father !”

“Dare kiss me don't hope I won't forgive father for life !”

Jonathan smiled faintly and got up and sat down on the sofa next to Gaby who was rushing up. Both of them were silent in an awkward atmosphere.

“Don't tell me that Mr. Nathan told people to follow me.”

“Ralat, not telling people but I was the one who was following you because I was so worried that you disappeared from everyone for 5 days yesterday. Whose apartment is this ? Don't tell me it belongs to your ex-girlfriend,” Jonathan said with a bitter laugh.

Gaby was still silent as she played both fingers with her face down. Jonathan glanced at his wife with a faint smile.

”Sorry that I hurt you, Bi. I really just used Maya to meet her father including the skit at the restaurant aimed to make her trust me even more. I paid people to take our photos and send them to you. Everything I do is because I want Maya to stop harassing us, screwing up the company and releasing me from her obsession, not love. I realize I've done something crazy for not involving you but really, Bi, I love you.”

Jonathan is a little relieved when Gaby does not pull over her fingers that hold the girl's fingers even though Gaby is still silent and reluctant to look at Jonathan.

The atmosphere returned silent in an awkward atmosphere even though their two fingers were still grasping each other.

“Whatever your reason, my decision has not changed,” firmly Gaby while getting up and releasing the grip of Jonathan.

“Please leave this place right now because Father really makes me uncomfortable.”

Jonathan sighed when he heard Gaby open the door. He got up and saw the girl waiting by the open door.
