Being a Dad to My Niece
Chapter 9. For Betrayal
Chapter 9
Arga is silent when Mariana mentions Valerie. He was wondering why this woman now dared to offend the lover. Though all this time Mariana always tried to tempt herself to want to have a romance with him.
At first Arga did not respond too much to rumors that Mariana had special feelings for him. That woman is not the ideal type for him. Finally, the man chose to have a romance with Valerie.
After she dated her sister, Mariana finally blatantly said she liked, especially after the accident that happened to Valerie, the temptation launched by Mariana increasingly became. They also had time to sleep together while drunk in the engagement party of one of their colleagues.
"The doctor said, Kak Valerie's condition was stable this morning. You know why? Because all day yesterday you accompanied and invited him to talk. He can hear us, but he can't reply to our words" Mariana explained.
Arga was pleased with this progress. She rarely visited Valerie because her parents blamed her for what happened to her lover.
"Maybe tomorrow I'll go see him" Arga said as he cleared his desk.
Mariana along the way approached Arga and kissed her lips with affection. As her hand moved to scour the man's body, Marsha's husband quickly pushed her body.
"Since there's a limit!" snapped Arga.
"Don't be a hypocrite, Arga. It's not that you like it so much when we spend time together in bed" Mariana said sensually and flirting with seductive eyes.
Arga did not reply to Mariana. He'd rather go and wake Marsha up.
"Have your tastes changed now Arga?" mariana asked as she looked at the appearance of Marsha who was wearing covered and veiled clothes.
"That's none of your business" replied Arga while holding Marsha's hand walking towards the door.
"Hey, hooded woman! Just so you know that Arga likes to sleep with many women, one of which is me. You have to be careful of him" Mariana and Marsha walked over while looking at him.
"Or do you also have been invited to sleep by Arga?" continued the long haired woman surging as Arga and Marsha were in the doorway.
Arga felt Marsha's hand tighten. He was sure that his wife would be disgusted by him. However, he continued to pull the woman's hand towards the elevator.
The two people were silent as they got out of the elevator. Even in the parking lot only Arga spoke that one word, "Come in!"
Marsha got into the car whose door was opened by her. Not sweet treatment like that.

"You if you are tired do not need to cook, just order online. I'll have dinner outside" Arga said as soon as they walked into the apartment.
Marsha remained silent and went into her room. Likewise with Arga who choose to directly soak in hot water to relax tense muscles.
Now Arga's appearance is neat and fragrant. He went out of the room with Marsha. The two talked to each other and said nothing.
Marsha goes to the kitchen, to cook. Arga watched the woman pull the ingredients out of the refrigerator.
Tonight Arga decided to go to the hospital. He wants to see Valerie, if what Mariana says is the truth, then he will be willing every night to chat and take care of her.
"Hi, Baby. How are you doing? When are you gonna wake up?" Arga clasped Valerie's hand which was now thin.
It's been 5 years that the woman has been lying in a gurney like between life and death. Arga was angry and disappointed with his girlfriend. She witnessed firsthand the betrayal Valerie committed against her. The lover made love to the man who had been a rival to him. He was heartbroken at the betrayal and repaid it by doing the same. He made love to the women who offered him. From there she began to be a cold womanizer. Make love to a woman without love.
That night while Arga is having sex with one of her co-workers, Valerie comes to the apartment and goes berserk seeing what she is doing. Arga let out cruel words to her lover until the woman left with a troubled heart.
The next day Arga gets word that Valerie has a single accident and is in a coma. Before the accident, the woman contacted her parents and told them what had happened to their relationship. Both of Valerie's parents did not accept her daughter's condition and blamed the man since he was forbidden to see her.
"Baby, open your eyes .. instead of first we promise to go on vacation to Lombok and Bali. Now there are many tourist attractions that we can go to while there," said Arga while rubbing Valerie's cheek.
In the corner of his heart, Arga felt sad to see the state of the lover. However, it still tucked in anger over his betrayal.
"Oh, yes. The dream house we designed together is done, you know. Don't you want to see it? Come on, get up and see it together. I have not filled any furniture there for fear of not matching your wishes. Later, we shop together and choose your favorite color," continued Arga still stroking Valerie's cheeks.
The woman's thin hands were placed on Arga's cheeks. It feels soft and a bit cold, much different from a few years ago when the hands with taut fingers always give a soft touch to him.

Marsha can't sleep. He sat on the sofa watching the television broadcast. His eyes occasionally glanced towards the wall clock. Now it's 23:45 and Arga hasn't come home yet.
This time he was left alone in the apartment. It feels quiet and cold. Although they did not sleep in one room and did not talk to each other much, at least he felt that there were friends in this place.
Marsha who never went far from home. There was no family or friends in the capital, making him feel very sad.
"I miss my mom and dad. What are they doing now, huh?" Marsha speaks alone.
"Why am I crying." Marsha wiped away the tears that had suddenly come out without her being able to bear it.
"I want to go home" continued Marsha curled up on the sofa with tears in her eyes.
Marsha remembered the words spoken by Mariana earlier in Arga's office. Actually he didn't sleep, just closed his eyes. He deliberately did so so that his gaze would not always glance towards Arga.
Although she did not like the nature and behavior of this man who became her husband, but she could not resist the aura and attraction that existed in Arga. Marsha herself did not know why she liked to secretly look at the man.

Is Marsha going home? Follow their story, yes!
