Bonds Without Love
ITC #3

Erina arrived at Bhishma's office fifteen minutes before lunchtime, just like what Bhishma had asked for this morning, Erina came with lunch for the man.

"Not stray, am I? this is actually Bisma's office?" Erina murmured while watching the building that was in front of her.

Erina did not expect that her husband's office would be that big, very different from Erina's workplace which was just a small kiosk, where Bhishma worked was very spacious.

Erina was worried about not being able to find Bhishma, because the place was really wide, and Erina was also lazy to ask the people there, they would definitely not tell Erina.

Erina realized, she was not the woman who was Bhishma married because of love, and maybe Erina would only be the laughingstock of the residents of that place, especially Erina's appearance was very different from theirs.

"Oh, miss Erin?" Suddenly someone startled Erina, a man who had been standing behind Erina ever since.

Erina felt that the man was no stranger, it seemed like they had met, but Erina herself could not remember where and when. Because of something, Erina did indeed suck at recognizing people.

"Still remember me? Leo, we met once before." The man who claimed to be named Leo smiled kindly.

Erina finally remembered who the man before her was, she was the only office person present at Erina's wedding, and said Bisma, Leo is her secretary at the office.

"You were the one who came to my wedding that day? secretary Bisma right?" Erina asked to make sure.

Erina feels saved by the presence of Leo, now she will find it easier to find Bhishma inside the big building.

"Right, I'm a secretary, Mr. Bhishma. glad to see you back, miss." Leo returned with a smile.

Erina smiled stiffly. "It just so happens that we meet here, can you take me to the room of Bhishma?" Erina asked politely.

Leo chuckled softly. "Of course, I'll drive you, let's follow me." Leo said no less politely, then walked ahead of Erina.

Erina did not reply, just following Leo from behind while bringing lunch to Bhishma. Because she did not have time to cook, Erina bought it from the outside, hopefully her husband likes it.

"Here, the director's room is on the fourth floor." Said Leo telling while inviting Erina to enter the elevator first.

"You make me uncomfortable, just be normal, I'm not your boss or anything." Erina said before entering the elevator.

Erina is not used to being treated like that, she comes from an ordinary family, sometimes Erina even becomes the subject of insults people, and Leo's treatment really makes her uncomfortable.

Leo smiled, it turned out to be true what Bisma often said, his boss' wife was very different from other women, and it seemed that Leo also liked Erina, the woman was not just good.

"You're not my boss, but you're my boss's wife, of course I have to be polite." Leo pressed the button inside the elevator.

Erina just noticed. Because to be honest, this is the first time Erina entered the elevator, maybe if she did not meet Leo, she would choose to go through the emergency stairs or something.

"You don't have to be so formal either." Erina chose not to respond too much to Leo's words.

After that, both Leo and Erina fell silent, Leo was confused as to how to respond to Erina's words, while Erina had nothing else to talk about.

Then the sound of "ting" from the elevator indicates they have arrived on the fourth floor, Leo will just let Erina out, but Erina has already walked.

"You are like the women in the house of Bhishma." Erina said as she found out Leo was walking behind her, then suddenly Erina stopped her steps.

"You should be the one walking in front, I don't know where the room of Bhishma is." Erina secretly blamed Leo, the man had already made Erina humiliate herself.

How not, Erina had asked Leo to be ordinary, but Leo did not obey her at all, instead still making Erina uncomfortable.

"Bisma sir's room is here." Leo said, even the way he spoke was still the same.

"Oh." Erina followed Leo's steps. Being behind the man made Erina want to hit him so badly, Leo made her have to bear the shame.

"Please come in, Mr. Bhishma is inside." Said Leo.

Look at! Leo even opened a big door, it seemed like the hired man of Bhishma would only obey his magic words, even Leo did not listen to Erina.

"Hm." Erina muttered, she was too lazy to talk too much, and just entered the room of Bhishma.

However, when Erina came in, Bhishma had already surprised her, Bhishma was alone with the woman who was now sitting on the man's lap.

"Eryn?" Bisma, who was caught off guard, looks shocked by the arrival of Erina, inversely proportional to Erina who looks relaxed.

Lying that Erina did not feel anything when she saw her Bhishma behavior, she felt disappointed and hurt to see her husband with another woman.

But, Erina could indeed overcome her feelings, even though Erina was severely injured, she would show that she was fine, that was Erina.

"Bisma, who's that woman?" Asked the woman who was in an instant knocked out of the bisma lap, her voice sounded spoiled and made Erina amused.

Erina had never behaved like that to any man, let alone towards people's husbands, Erina knew very well what kind of good thing she had to do with her life, it was enough that others insulted her for being poor, poor, Erina did not want others to insult her for being cheap.

"Get out!" Bhishma yelled. Erina who felt Bhishma expel her immediately turned her body and intended to come out.

But, the voice of the bisma stopped him. "Not you, I didn't tell you to go, Erina." The man pressed down on every sentence he said.

"Gisella, get out of my room!"

"But-"

"Now!" Bhishma's orders were cold without wanting to be rebutted, he didn't care about anything, just afraid Erina misunderstood.

Bhishma knew, Erina might not care about who the woman who had just sat on the lap of Bhishma was, but she had to give an explanation, no matter how Erina was his wife. Erina deserves to know everything about Bhishma, including about the woman.

"All right, I'm going out." Then the woman was forced to come out, before actually leaving, the woman looked at Erina unfriendly.

While Erina, the woman who was still facing the door was not at all afraid of Bhishma's infidelity, because it should be Bisma's affair that was afraid of her, Erina could have made that beautiful face destroyed.

"Erin, we both need to talk." Speak to Bhishma after making sure the woman who is bothering him goes away.

Erina took a breath before speaking. "Please talk, I'll listen."

Bisma ruffled her hair, hearing Erina's sudden cynical tone frustrating her.

"It's not like you think, I can explain, I-" Before Bhishma finished talking, Erina interrupted him first.

"Do you know what's on my mind? Bhishma, I'm just here to deliver your lunch."
