The Secret Marriage of the Teacher

An Unusual Taste

“Tumben really ngajak I met at this hour, again not busy ?” ask Jonathan who just arrived at the cafe Kendra chose.

The time still shows at 5 pm and it has been 3 months the two have never met, only 2 times replied to a message asking for news.

“Where is the work elo ?” Kendra asked back. “Back being a teacher again ?”

“Iya, the location is a bit far from home so I choose a boarding house near there because it is calculated - calculate the cost of transportation is more expensive than rental costs. Save time and effort too, Bro.”

“Teach SMA boy again ?” Jonathan shook his head.

“Child SMP. They were afraid that someone might hit again like Gaby,” joked Jonathan while chuckling. “Gue put married status and so read Gaby's age they were shocked. I told you what it was about my matchmaking with Gaby.”

Jonathan smiled and his face exuded a sense of happiness as he recalled the good times with Gaby.

“Nyokap you actually moved to Semarang ?”

“Yes, stay at Aunt Ratih's house until Jenny finishes college. Tuh son also followed living at the house of Aunt Ratih.”

“Please stay in a new school ?”

Jonathan frowned, looking at Kendra who was looking at him while propping up his chin.

“Elo again my interview or what the hell ? It's very detailed.”

“2 days ago Mimi asked to see me. Tuh son very insistent until I just want to meet at 8 pm.”

“Why is Gaby the same?”

“Sotoy,” midget Kendra.

“Mimi will definitely not be met if it is not about Gaby or maybe she put her heart together elo?” ledek Jonathan with squinting eyes and a wry smile.

”Amins. Hopefully it will happen but later. I want to give you the latest info, Maya has given birth, premature.”

“Oooo... Baby and mother are safe right ?”

“Elo do not want to know the next news ?” Jonathan shook his head.

“Maya gave birth prematurely due to a fight with Gaby in the office lobby. Mimi was there. Maya bleeds after falling as Gaby attempts to shake off Maya.”'s grasp

“Keep now What's the Gaby?”

“Serius elo don't care about Maya ?” Kendra's eyes puffed up, a little surprised to see Jonathan's reaction.

“Maya still has family, her father is also clear who the child is, but Gaby is alone Ken, she only has Om Sofian who can be trusted.”

“Elo really still love Gaby?”

“Very !” jonathan said while nodding confidently.

Kendra begins to recount all the conditions Gaby heard from Mimi, including the details of Maya's events in the office lobby.

“Salah Maya why maksa, fitting people just came home from work anyway. By the way, Gaby still lives in the apartment ?” Kendra nodded.

“Then I go there now. Sorry I stayed first, Gaby must feel alone at this time.”

“Wait ! How can you meet him at the apartment ?”

“God knows my intentions and my heart, Ken, so pray that you will be given the best way to meet Gaby.”

Kendra shook as Jonathan confidently moved out of his chair. His face was full of smiles, as if seeing a glimmer of hope to mend his relationship with Gaby.

“Good luck, Bro !” Jonathan just gave his thumb with a smile.

***

After leaving a message to the security guard, Jonathan brought his car wild from the apartment area. His heart takes him across the detour, intending to pass through the family home that is no longer inhabited since Mama Hani decided to stay in Semarang for a while.

Jonathan pulled over as his car drove through the park several times he had visited with Gaby, enjoying the street food that traded there. Gaby's term dating peacock.

From inside his car Jonathan looked out the window. The atmosphere began to be quiet and some traders had tidied up the wagon even though there were still some people sitting in the park area.

Netra Jonathan catches a young couple sitting back at the entrance. The woman was resting her head on the man's shoulder, just like Gaby had done on one date.

Jonathan decided to go down and into the garden area through another door and stood behind the garden lamppost towards the young couple he had seen. Somehow his foresight was strong saying that he knew both of them.

Jonathan's eyes popped out as the man's hand grabbed the woman's shoulder after her head was no longer leaning against the man's shoulder.

“Gaby,” hiss Jonathan.

His feet were ready to step to approach his ex-wife who was sitting next to Mario. His heart was instantly hot, burning jealous to see the woman he still loved so much with another man, the jerk who almost raped Gaby !

“Remember, you are no longer her husband, Nathan !”

Om Sofian's warning resonated as if recalling Jonathan's current position. Gaby is no longer his wife therefore Jonathan no longer has the right to determine who is and is not a man close to Gaby.

Jonathan could only sigh as Mario's hand rubbed Gaby's shoulder to calm her down. Gaby's face was covered with her hair dangling so that Jonathan could not see her face clearly but from his movements he suspected that Gaby was crying.

You must be crying because of me, Gaby. Excuse me.

If I could buy some time to turn back, the first thing I would do is hug you and whisper a thousand words of love in your ear. I will learn to be a good husband and make you happy.

I'm sorry Gaby, I hope one day I still have a chance to get sorry from you even if I can't have you anymore.

Once again Jonathan looked at the couple with a bitter smile. Both positions were already spaced and Gaby no longer looked down, her legs moved back as usual if she was agitated.

It hurts like this when we see our loved ones sharing happiness and sadness with others.

I'm sorry, Gaby.

***

“S**hit !” Gaby swore as she walked towards the elevator, picking up an envelope she had thrown away in the trash can in front of the elevator.

Time showed at 11:45 p.m., and Gaby was in her pajamas after her shower. Ever since receiving the letter from Jonathan, Gaby's mind started to unsettle. Not wanting to be disturbed, he threw the envelope away as soon as he arrived on the floor of his apartment but his heart grew increasingly unsettled until Gaby decided to take back the letter.

Gaby sighed many times while tearing the envelope. There is a little worry because it has been 6 months he broke communication with Jonathan and yesterday Gaby just heard the story of Mimi if Mama Hani moved to Semarang.

The house Gaby has occupied since marrying Jonathan is empty because her ex-husband chose a boarding house near her workplace.

Dear Gabriela, my,

Thank you for reading this letter. Sorry and sorry. I won't stop saying that word my whole life.

I'm sorry I couldn't be a good husband to you even though I told you so many times.

It felt like I wanted to convey it directly to you but unfortunately I haven't had that chance yet. I always hoped that someday would come.

Thank you for all the good memories that are always stored both in my memory and my prayer you will get the happiness of your own life.

Who always loved you

Jonathan

Gaby throws the letter on the table and lays her body on the couch. There was one feeling that made his heart calmer, whether Gaby could not express it.

His eyes closed and within minutes he fell asleep, entering into a beautiful dream that made him reluctant to wake up again.
