WRONG MARRIAGE
163.



Zalfa looked at Arkhan who was fixated on the doorway. The woman was confused to interpret Arkhan's gaze that was digin and difficult to understand. He did not know if Arkhan was upset, angry, happy or ordinary.


“Arkhan! It just so happens you came. Comehere! We eat together.” Ishmael stood up from his chair. He pulled out his chair and invited Arkhan to sit there. There were only four chairs around the dining table. Ishmael gave up on Arkhan.


Arkhan stared one by one the inhabitants of the dining table. First, Tini. Then Zalfa, and finally Soleh, whose seat was not far from Zalfa. Arkhan's expression turned tense as his bead of eyes found Soleh. His forehead frowned and his mouth opened slightly wanting to say something, but not even a word came out of his mouth.


Instead, Soleh just silently glued expressionlessly. The two men exchanged looks.


Ismail looked at Soleh and Arkhan alternately. It was as if there was tension between the two. Could it be that Arkhan was angry that there was another man at the dinner table when his wife was also there?


To melt the situation down, Ismail approached Arkhan with a big smile. “Arkhan! I'm glad you came here! Come on, let's eat together. I invited Soleh here to have dinner together. Yeah, he's Soleh, my neighbor.” Ishmael pointed at Soleh. The explanation is none other than to give Arkhan knowledge about the presence of Soleh there none other than at the invitation of Ismail, and hope there is no misunderstanding.


“Arkhan!” call Zalfa make Arkhan's view now turn to Zalfa's face.


“Continue! I'm waiting outside.” Arkhan breezed away.


What exactly is Arkhan thinking now? Is he feeling jealous? Or is he upset? Or why? Arkhan is hard to guess. But Arkhan's facial expression suddenly changed when he looked at Soleh, was Soleh the reason for Arkhan's change in attitude? Zalfa wondered in his heart.


“That guy was what was his name? Arkhan?” Ask Soleh.


“Iya. Husband,” replied Zalfa briefly.


Now, Soleh's expression seemed to change upon hearing Zalfa's brief explanation. “I'll meet him. You guys go ahead and have dinner.” Sandy left the dining table.


“But... Soleh, you haven't finished eating.” Zalfa pointed at the food on Soleh's plate.


Zalfa was puzzled, what was really wrong with Arkhan and Soleh? Why do they look different? Ooh. Lord, do not let the two fight because of a problem that Zalfa does not understand. The situation was very difficult for Zalfa to understand. Even the situation was suddenly tense. Zalfa's feelings have also changed. The comfort that was supposed to happen at the dining table, collapsed instantly the time after Arkhan appeared.


“Mas, I stay first!” Zalfa stood up.


“Where are you going?” Ishmael asked, making Zalfa's footsteps stop and turning his head.


“I want to see Arkhan.”


“Let Arkhan chat with Soleh. Sally will do her best. You haven't started eating. Come on, come back to the table and we'll eat together. Don't make my appetite go away because you're not full. I want to eat together with my sister.”


“Lain times, Mas.”


“Events to eat with him are off. This is the story I even so eat together Tini.” Ismail glanced at Tini. Which glimpsed just down.


“Sorry, Mom. I'm not good eating alone without my husband,” Zalfa said.


“Ya already.” Ismail nodded.


Zalfa sauntered away from the dining room.
