The Secret Marriage of the Teacher

Wife and Ex-Lover

Gaby's face was immediately bent and her lips pursed as soon as Jonathan's car left Mama Hani's house as a form of annoyance that he had been holding back since.

 

“Don't manyun so dong, Bi, make me want to nyosor,” led Jonathan while laughing slowly and one hand rubbed his wife's head.

 

“Kayak soang aja demennya nyosor,” grumbled Gaby while leaning his head on the door so that Jonathan difficult to touch it.

 

“Ngak really willing to stay at home again, even though your place should be next to the husband as well as happy in-laws.”

 

“Conspiration ! it's all Mr. Nathan's play again, right ? You deliberately asked Brother Jenny to tell me to come on the grounds that Mama is sick.”

 

“Don't nethink that dong, Bi. Mama's problem is real, not theatrical. Mama has been stressed since reading your divorce papers and can not calm down because you did not return home even though the lawsuit has been canceled. And Jenny's problem, I really don't know if she called you let alone ask you to come home to swipe Mama. I just found out a few hours ago, even from Kendra who told me that I had canceled all my meeting schedules today.”

 

“Eleven twelve,” dumel Gaby with pursed lips makes Jonathan chuckle.

 

“The name is also sister, Bi, it's natural that Jenny wants to help me. Om Sofian and Kendra are also willing to support me after getting proof but you still don't believe it either.”

 

“Not a problem believe it or not,” Gaby straightened her sitting position and looked at Jonathan with a serious face.

 

“I really do not want to continue this marriage, I want to study independently and no longer want to burden the lives of others including Mr, Mama and Om Sofian. Besides...”.

 

“Other than what?” Jonathan touched Gaby's arm which immediately let out a long sigh.

 

“I've been trying for almost a year and it turns out I can't love you as a husband. I'm sorry that I set up Mr. Nathan and love words just to keep myself safe from Aunt Gina.”

 

Jonathan smiled faintly with a fixed gaze focused onto the road. The car goes into the parking area of Gaby's apartment.

 

You stubborn boy ! Your mouth may say no love, but your attitude clearly shows that you already love me. I will follow to the point where you will endure denying your own feelings, Jonathan said, laughing inwardly.

 

“I don't care how long you have to wait for you to love me, Gabriela. I will remain by your side in accordance with the provisions at the beginning of our marriage and during that time I will not stop loving you and wait for the door of your heart to open for me, even if someday you will leave or dump me, I will still love you.”

 

“Do not be stubborn!” gaby's scowl with a pouting face.

 

“Maybe this is the reason why Anna's mother set you up with me even though at that time I was a 15-year-old boy who did not know what his future was. Mami Anna tehu that I will always love you even though you keep away from me.”

 

Gaby sighed and turned back to throw a sideways glance. Why does the songong man who often looks for a storm with her suddenly become romantic, melodious and stubborn with his love ?

 

 

 

The two walked to the lobby hand in hand. Gaby had tried to let go of Jonathan's grasp but to no avail, her refusal even came to the attention of those near them.’

 

“Gabriela !”

 

Gaby immediately smiled awkwardly when she saw Om Harry walking up to her as soon as he passed the lobby door. It was not that Om Harry saw her hand in hand with Jonathan, but that there was Maya beside the middle-aged man.

 

“Om Harry ? You know Harry ?” jonathan asked as he looked at Gaby with his eyebrows turning. The girl nodded while smiling awkwardly.

 

 

“Since Gaby was a baby.”

 

“Om how can it be here ?” jonathan asked with a confused face, let alone see the appearance of Om Harry who only wears knee-length pants and a polo shirt patterned with lines. 

 

“Om Harry lives here too but on a different floor,” whispered Gaby answered Jonathan's question before Om Harry answered him.

 

“Have lunch ? Or want to have a coffee with ?” ask Harry kindly.

“Sorry Om, I have to go to Mama Hani's house.”

“How are you doing Hani ?”

“Mama is sick again , Om, miss his favorite daughter-in-law,” Jonathan said while embracing Gaby's shoulder.

“When Om want to meet your mama, today send greetings first.” Gaby nodded with a smile.

“I went back upstairs first, Om,” said Gaby and was signed by Om Harry.

“Jo,” Maya holds Jonathan's arm before the man steps away.

Their steps came to a halt and the three stared at Maya.

“I can ask you for a minute ? There's something I want to talk to you both about.”

Daddy Harry's forehead immediately wrinkled to hear his daughter's words while Gaby instead looked indifferent.

“Talk here because there is nothing personal that we need to talk about together. Gaby's my wife, so I never hide anything from her.”

Maya sighed while glancing at Gaby who looked indifferent.

“Not your wife anymore in a hurry ?” Maya's irritated tone of voice made Daddy Harry shake his head.

“You..”.

“We can find another time to meet,” cut Jonathan before Gaby continues her sentence.

“If it can indeed be completed today why it should be postponed tomorrow ?”

Gaby's emotionless statement made Jonathan's eyes growl and smiled. This high school girl is getting smarter about her emotions.

“You go threesome, Om want to go back to the top first, there is a job calling.”

Gaby and Jonathan nodded with a smile as Om Harry parted and walked towards the elevator.

***

“I'm pregnant.”

Gaby is shocked to hear Maya's words as the three sit opposite each other in a small cafe in the apartment lobby.

“I already know from Martin and Leo don't know about this yet, right ?”

Gaby who does not know who Jonathan is referring to just shut up and busied herself with her phone.

“Martin is Maya's second brother and Leo is Martin's best friend. Maya and Leo were once in love one night and now Maya is pregnant,” Jonathan explained to Gaby so that his wife could follow her conversation with Maya.

Gaby listened but her gaze remained focused on the phone.

“I've heard about their arrival to your office. I beg Jo, don't let any of them languish in jail.”

“Not my authority decides who will be responsible, the warehouse fire problem I have left to the authorities and our legal team.”

“So the warehouse fire was intentional ?” gaby's sharp gaze made Maya uncomfortable.

“They just mean to avenge my heartache,” says Maya defend herself.

“Only because of one person they did a crazy deed that could have hurt many people ?” Gaby's face looked irritated and stared cynically at Maya.

“Honey, no emotion, this business has been handled by the police,”, Jonathan said holding his wife's hand.

“I really beg your kindness to release Brother Martin and Leo. I'll ask Daddy to replace all his losses.”

“Maya, stop solving problems with money. The losses incurred by the company are not just about the material, so just accept that Leo or Martin must account for their actions.”

Gaby was still staring at Maya who began to cry, glimpsed by Jonathan who was indifferent, not touched by Maya's condition.

“Stop being a crybaby spoiled girl, Maya ! It's time you learned to be a strong woman for the sake of the fetus that is in your womb.”

Maya raises her face and Jonathan turns to look Daddy Harry with his firm face already standing behind the man. Only Gaby did not move from her position.
