The Secret Marriage of the Teacher

Sweet and Bitter

Kendra frowned looking at Jonathan who had not stopped smiling since getting out of the car. The two met in the parking lot and together took the elevator through the lobby.

“Elo why the hell ? What's the same breakfast as Gaby?” kendra whispers.

“Gue wants to invite Gaby honeymoon,” said Jonathan with a sweet face makes Kendra again frown her forehead.

“When ?”

“Quickly after getting approval from Om Sofian.”

“Gaby already want elo to ask?”

Kendra's eyes immediately puffed up as Jonathan nodded and her face added, even the man whistled after exiting the elevator.

“Don't say elo same Gaby..”.

“Gue is not an old virgin anymore, has become a real man,” Jonathan said with a proud face.

“Yes, Nathan. Pantesan tuh teeth until dry,” Kendra said while chuckling.

”How many rounds ?”

“Kepo ! Want to know the secrets of people's kitchen. Sana cepetan find a wife so that no dipping same other people continue.”

“The need to follow in the footsteps of elo but no one wants how dong,” said Kendra while laughing.

”Ya searched dong, ngarep soul mate lo come from the sky ?”

“Do I need to transfer profession to be a teacher kayak elo ? Let's get a soul mate as young as Gaby?” Kendra raised her eyebrows.

“Bynesp, Ken. Set up a leave schedule for me !” jonathan said shaking his hand telling Kendra to go straight to her desk.

“You how long ?”

“4 weeks also can,” Jonathan said with a laugh.

“Ask to be fired same board of directors ?”

“Indeed the directors dare fire the husband of the owner of the company?” jonathan laughed.

Kendra shook her head and immediately turned on the computer while Jonathan entered the room still with a happy smile.

*****

Gaby gets bored and joins the house alone because Jonathan forbids her from going out today including going to the office.

“You're ready to be bullied with Kendra ? Your path is like a peguin's and he must know why. Besides, today my schedule is full of meetings from morning until 2 a.m. Have a meeting I'll go straight home.”

“Cause of Mas Nathan too, anyway. Promise once, keep twice but go on,” grumbled Gaby with pursed lips.

“You are also addicted, brim the ease of mind makes me more passionate and spirit continues,” said Jonathan with anxiety pinched both cheeks Gaby.

“Later on vacation first, let Gaby not like a new penguin boy learning the way.”

“Depends on how later.”

“Gaby sleeps in Mama's room !” firmly Gaby with her face bent.

Gaby no longer extended the debate this morning because Jonathan always had a way to fend it off. And as it turns out, while Gaby was sorting out which room would be her hiding place tonight, Gaby did not find the keys hanging on all the bedroom doors.

Jonathan had prepared everything possible including revoking all the room keys so that it was impossible for Gaby to avoid them.

After Jonathan left, Gaby had several times to stand in front of the glass, making sure her husband said that the road was like a penguin child. The sensitive area is a little uncomfortable but it feels like the way Gaby road is ordinary.

The conversation in the group with his five best friends was quiet. Each has their own activities to fill the holiday except for Danu and Joni who are busy preparing for college in a new place.

While engrossed in surfing with his phone, Gaby frowned when she saw Marsha's name appear to send a message to him.

(Can we meet now, Gab ? The time and place is up to you. It's important, Gab. I just want a minute, please 🙏🙏)

Gaby is in a dilemma because her position is not possible whereas Marsha's request sounds important

Gaby immediately pressed Jonathan's number but up to 5 times Gaby tried, her call always ended up at the ballot box. Kendra's number is just as lucky.

Gaby decides to agree with Marsha's request and informs Jonathan in a short message.

15 Minutes later Gaby had already slid to her promised spot with Marsha taking an online taxi hoping Jonathan would pick her up.

*****

Gaby approached Marsha who waved her hand as she just arrived at the cafe. His forehead shriveled as it reached in front of Marsha. Gaby can see the puffy eyes of Marsha, her eyes are sad and her face looks lethargic, there is no arrogant attitude like she always shows at school.

“What's up?” gaby asked after ordering a drink.

“Jihan contacted me this morning, talking about the source who was arrested by the police for leaking divorce papers elo and Mr. Nathan.”

“Seems not to have been declared a suspect.”

“So you already know about this arrest ?” Marsha tilted her body towards Gaby.

“Ralat, Sha, on Saturday Mr. Hasbi was asked to come to the police station for questioning and has not been determined as a suspect, but do not know the development today.”

“Gue ask please same elo, Gab, please. All my life I will never forget the kindness of elo if I can make me not arrested because it is considered as a accomplice of Jihan.”

Gaby was speechless as she did not know how to respond to Marsha's request to look at her with a pleading face and her fingers clasping Gaby's hands.

“Sha, I don't want to help. I and Mr. Nathan didn't know that Jihan's source was questioned at the police station on Saturday. This problem will not usually be ignored just like that because the problem is no longer just defamation that can be solved by peaceful means but Mr. Hasbi, who is the only one who can solve the problem, jihan's source has violated oaths and ethics for leaking personal data of his clients. Not me or Mr. Nathan reporting him, Sha, but more to his agency.”

“Gab, my life will be ruined if I get involved in criminal matters. I still want to go to college and have a future without a trace of crime, Gab.”

“Sha, I also do not expect it all to happen but at this time I can not promise anything equally elo. My advice is better elo talk honestly and consult this problem to get the best way.”

“Bokap I will definitely be raging and my family will be embarrassed if until arrested by the police because it is considered their accomplice. I'll lose it all, Gab.”

Marsha began to cry, cupping her face with her palms propping up on the table.

“Sha, all events in life must have a silver lining. Not always bad events all the time only bring tears, it can be in the middle or finally it makes you able to see good things in it. Better elo juju same bokap and family before the police call letter sent to elo.”

Marsha was still sobbing that Gaby could only sigh and wait until her friend's feelings calmed down again.

You should've stopped hating me when you had the chance, Sha. Now everything is like rice has become porridge, it is impossible to return it again. Elo's mind just wants to knock me down until it doesn't matter who you're dealing with. Jihan will never allow herself to fall alone, inner Gaby.
