WRONG MARRIAGE

226.

Arkhan's rewinded his face. His eyes pusuk face illuminated by lights. That pretty face looks so beautiful to look at.

“I miss you,” whispered Arkhan as he continued to stare at his wife's face.

Zalfa's tears dripped without excuse. He can't say anything. His confusion over Arkhan's escape from captivity left his tongue speechless even though his heart was happy to see her husband coming.

Zalfa's palm rubbed sweat on Arkhan's temple. Then it touched her husband's face. It felt cold when his fingers touched Arkhan's lips.

Arkhan opened his mouth, kissing the plump fingers with his suction and fondling. Then his head advanced, his lips landing on Zalfa's cheeks, smirking the face like he didn't want to miss it even if it was only an inch. Stopped on Zalfa's lips and continued the raupan that still made him feel curious.

Silent.

The clanging of the clock sounded loudly filled the room.

“How can you be here? The police came here looking for you?” Zalfa asked with a still confused look.

“I am under your bed,” Arkahn replied in a whisper so that his voice would not be heard by anyone. Only Zalfa should hear it.

Arkhan remembered, he climbed up the window to get into Zalfa's room. It just so happened that Zalfa forgot to lock the window when he closed it. Arkhan had approached Zalfa who was asleep at the time. Then he kissed Zalfa's cheek just before the police came raiding the room. Arkhan hurriedly slipped under the bed. Fortunately Zalfa's bed had empty space underneath it, which was covered with planks on each side so no one would have expected Arkhan to hang under the bed holding iron under the bed, he was perfectly covered in boards around him.

“Do I scare you? Didn't you expect me to come?” arkhan whispered looking at Zalfa's veiled face.

“Yes, I am afraid of the situation you created,” replied Zalfa who also whispered. “Why should you run away? Why aren't you cooperative? I'm still faithfully waiting for you, and you're running away like this. If this is the way, how will you be free properly? How can I live with you while you're on the search list? Mas Arkhan, don't scare me more and more with this situation.”

“Sorry. Sorry if I made you feel unsettled. I promise to give your life back to the way it was. Don't think about me.”

“What do you mean?” Zalfa held Arkhan's arm tightly.

Arkhan refused to answer.

“How can you get out?” ask Zalfa again. “I'm disappointed in you. I'm really very disappointed.” Zalfa retreated, he removed his hand from Arkhan's grasp.

“You don't like me coming to hug you?”

“This is not how. This will complicate the existing problems.”

“Go, Mas Arkhan. Go back to the prisoners. Give yourself back to the authorities.”

“No,” firmly Arkhan.

“If you don't want to turn yourself in, let me call the police so they pick you up here,” threatened Zalfa while walking towards the nightstand to reach his phone lying there.

“Zalfa!” hardik Arkhan and snatched the phone in Zalfa's hand. “You really can't support me! It's been hard for me to fight to meet you, but here's your response.” Arkhan let out a rough breath.

“Have I not proven my loyalty enough to explain everything? I want to live happily with you. I'm willing to live as a pregnant woman without a husband to be able to live with you again, but this is what you do. You ran away while I wished I could live together with you after twenty years. Then how will my hope be realized when you are in a position like this? This way of yours will prolong your punishment. Because if you get caught again, your punishment will be much more severe. I really don't like this way of yours, Mas Arkhan.”

Arkhan again took a heavy breath, he rubbed his face violently. Then he looked at Zalfa's face that paled due to his condition that was not healthy enough to be two-bodied. Arkhan is back nearing Zalfa. His hands stretched out and wiped the tears on Zalfa's cheeks with his thumb, his movements were extremely gentle.

Zalfa grabbed the arm of Arkhan that was on her cheek. He kissed that hand a few times. “Back to custody! You have to take responsibility for your actions.”

“But I cannot, Zalfa!”

“Why?”

Arkhan.

“You want to live free but in reality not free? Living on the loose yet being a police fugitive? When will your life be calm? I can't even live life with you if that's your choice.”

Arkhan was silent.

“Now choose, you return to custody with my status that remains your wife, or steadfast on your choice of escaping the police pursuit without my support?”

“You tried to threaten me?”

“If you choose the second option, then after this baby is born, I ask that we do not have husband sitri status anymore,” Og Zalfa with a tongue that feels very heavy.

Both silent.
