She's my wife, my wife? My wife? My face is bright red right now.
Twelve days, I was trapped in a toxic environment, right? It's sad, left and right only my name and Dana can be heard. And for twelve days, Dana and I had a cold war. Every now and then there is a clash of paths, it's just that our attitude is like we don't know each other. Be a problem for me? Oh, of course not.
But I feel, he is too cold to even care. Just looking away reluctantly, let alone to steal glances.
He's a much different man from a while ago, when we were still on good terms. And strangely enough, I'm still here to be pushed aside. Even Ms Vayuna no longer gives a warm smile, like the first time I was involved in a hot scandal at the office.
She still wants to talk to me, not at all now. And oddly enough, I still fostered piles of work. I often come home at night.
Why am I suffering? What did I do wrong? Why do they hold a grudge against me? After bracing myself to go to the office, I left the room to meet my brother and Sis Ciki.
My steps were limp, as if the next two weeks seemed like years.
"Hey, Na. Why are you gloomy?" My brother tone sounded worried.
"Her is cry" Followed by Sis Ciki as well.
"What's wrong Na?" Him asked again, so soft towards me.
"Nothing, Brother." My answer is weak.
"There's a problem office, is rumored to be Dana's mistress." Sis Ciki story to her husband.
"Well, why didn't you tell Dana?" Him failed to feed the rice into his mouth.
"Well, there's even a fight. It's been more than a week without a warning." I took a sip of warm milk in the glass, "You know? That Dana has a crush on me?" My eyes are on my brother.
" Yes, I know. But it's you who doesn't want to be with him? If me still agrees with you being Dana partner, i can even rest easy."
Honestly, I'm getting in a bad mood hearing Mas Zeo's answer.
" You just the same as your wife." I said with an annoyed snort.
"That means you are different," my brother chuckled carelessly. "Never mind, Mas later discuss it with Dana, just focus on your internship so you can finish quickly."
I nodded, took the bread on a plate, already toasted and smeared with chocolatea. No conversations were directed at me, couple in front were busy discussing office work. I'm not even interested in getting involved.
" Tomorrow we parent come to Indonesia, later i will talk to Dana, for tomorrow you don't have to work." said my brother.
"Yes.." I nodded without enthusiasm, finishing the breakfast that Sis had prepared for us, at the dining table.
STATE WEDDING
Even though it was hard for me to step into Dana's skyscraper, I had demands as an intern. I promise, later I have graduated and received a bachelor's degree, I will not deliver job applications to this company. Seriously, I'm traumatized. My face now looks pale, I haven't slept all night.
Even in the most difficult times for me, Akasy just disappeared. My message still ticks one, last night I was ignored. I don't know, sometimes I get confused myself too. Does Akasy still love me?
"Morning, Muna."
What sound is that? Human? Wow, that's right. When I looked back, there was a handsome man presenting a sweet smile. I finally heard a human voice aimed at me, grateful.
"Morning too, wait, have we met before?" I asked while remembering. He laughed sweetly.
"Yeah, I'll repeat it again, Xenzo."
"Muna Syabila, well, you must have known me before the scandal." I replied with a sad smile.
"But it's not true is it?"
I shook my head. "I don't know who the gossiper was, to the point that I'm ostracized here."
Xenzo nodded, as if he understood what he just said.
"Oh, may I know, what part?"
"IT, Na."
"Wow, that's cool." I replied excitedly, "Even though it's said to be a nerd over there, I don't think you're really."
"Ha ha.." He laughed at my words, "Indeed the majority, I am the minority."
I laughed a little too, walking towards the entrance, accompanied by Xenzo.
"After introductions in the parking lot ago, I can finally chat with you." He said warmly.
"Do you really want to know me?" I turned to the side.
"Yes, since the first time I met you, I was interested in getting acquainted."
I smiled, looking into Xenzo's eyes." Even though the IT guy is far from the analysis department. How come you're interested? Where have you met him?"
"While you were standing at the reception desk, I was out for a bit, to the coffee shop out front."
"I don't feel, but I'm happy, it turns out that someone is watching me too." My answer is random.
We parted in front of the elevator doors, I chose the elevator next door instead of being with Xenzo. Without me realizing it, there were sharp eyes like an eagle ready to pounce on its prey.
I tried to balance my steps so as not to sway, being indifferent to the cynical stares from the seniors. Geez, fellow humans too. I turn on the computer, no work has come in. My head hurts, my stomach hurts. Either because of lack of sleep or severe stress. I haven't seen a doctor yet.
For a moment I put my head on the table, to relieve the dizziness and nausea that came together. It was as if he would sway me.
Half-conscious I heard a call directed at me, but my eyes were hard to open.
"Muna..Hey Muna wake up.."
The call kept ringing in my eardrums, but I still couldn't fight myself.
"This child doesn't know working hours, instead he sleeps."
"After serving boss times."
"I really don't know myself, an apprentice who feels he has power just because he's a mistress."
"It only makes the campus reputation bad if this model is a student."
"Just beautiful capital, which is still young. I feel sorry for his parents, he must be uneducated. Or a child from a broken home, that's for sure."
"Muna, come on, wake up, it's still working hours. We have a meeting at the beginning of the month."
I heard the last voice belonged to Ms Vayuna, I cried hearing the hurtful gossip from the people around. Until I was stunned to hear a baritone voice that for some reason issued words like his forehead.
"It's okay, Vayuna. You don't have to build it. Muna is my wife anyway."
"Sir wife?"
I clearly heard Ms Vayuna voice was very shocked, not her, I just felt like I was being struck by lightning in the morning.
I lifted my head, looking around. Oh God, where all the employees have gathered.
My eyes accidentally met Xenzo's eyes too.
Of course, I was branded a liar. what is that old man? Oh my gosh, I'm done here.
What else are you missing, Muna Syabila?
"Yes, she is my wife." He said coldly, expressionless. Doesn't even look at me in confusion, looks like an idiot. Look left - right just to confirm what Dana said. They looked reluctant, no sound was heard. It was so quiet, I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. I excused myself to go to the bathroom.
Damn, even my stomach supports Dana's statement. By now, I must have thought I was pregnant with Dana's child. I didn't care if Dana caught up with me, standing in the doorway looking cold but worried.
" Go to the doctor Na?" Offer it to me.
I was silent, cleaning my mouth with water flowing from the faucet.
"Sorry again, Na. Just now i really can't stand to hear what they say to you." He said softly, walking towards me.
I still remained silent, my eyes reddened.
"Just cuss me, Go ahead, cuss me as much as you want. me admit, me is very wrong. i am is a sad single, to admit that you are a wife."
I coughed at that, but I tried not to laugh. Because I was furious, what the hell did he bring to the wedding.
"This isn't a joke, Dana." I said turning around, "You think, by acknowledging me as a wife, the problem can be solved? Things are getting more complicated.
"But me is ready to make the marriage happen, i just wants to marry you." The answer is solid.
PLAK!
My hand landed perfectly on Dana cheek, I could see the white skin turning red. God damn it, I'm strong enough to slap a man. This time I was being arrogant. Where is he someone else's child, has a high position in the office.
"Yes, Muna." He looked down, feeling sorry.
"Don't just be cocky, Dana, even though you have a strong position, you can't win my heart. Your heart is your business, don't take it with me!" I said no.
"Then what should I do? I really loves you, Na. That's honest, i promises to take care of you."
"No! I don't want to be guarded by a man like you."
"Okay Na, i understands your position that you already have a lover. I will find a way out of the statement earlier in front of the employees."
I didn't say anything, my chest felt tight. Holding back a lot of emotions, it's just that my body's condition is not healthy. I chose to calm down rather than fainting on the spot. The problem is there are funds.
"Don't talk to me anymore, I don't want to hear."
"But other men can too? To laugh with Xenzo in front? That's not fair." He said he didn't accept it. I looked at Dana in shock, maybe she still had an answer to what I said.
TBC.
