Protecting July

"One more time I'm warning you not to tell my wife to do homework!" Zen repeated his words.

Susi was just speechless, the woman could not defend herself because Zen would not believe her despite any reason. In his heart he felt very upset because Juli got a defense from Zen, Lusi was upset why Zen had to come at the wrong time. After this, Lusi plans to provide additional work for July.

"In the mansion there are many helpers. Are you not satisfied with their work to the point of telling my wife to wipe the glass?" Zen's anger really peaked, he was very upset by what his stepmother did.

Meanwhile, Juli feels very happy to get a defense from Zen. Somehow the moment became a warm thing for him, Juli felt no longer alone at a time like this, he also felt very tired after doing a lot of work.

Juli did not turn her face away from Zen at all, she felt very amazed by the man who married her by such force. It turned out that Zen was not that cold, he could defend and defend Juli as well. Unknowingly Juli smiled, whether it was a smile from getting a defense or something else.

After grumbling with his stepmother, Zen then took Juli's hand to bring her inside. His pace was so quick that July had trouble matching it, but at least now he could be freed from Lusi's orders.

Seeing that Lusi could only curse inwardly, the woman felt very angry at what Zen said. As if her pride as a mother was gone, Lusi would not accept that anymore, she would definitely reply later. Not just a reply for Zen but for July, because today's events Lusi even more want to give July a lot of homework.

"Tell you July. You will be tormented during your stay at Sanjaya's house," murmured Lusi with deep pent-up emotions.

Zen and Juli had just walked into the room. Then Zen released his arm in July's hand, the man slightly adjusted his breath so that his emotions also stabilized, he also slightly loosened the tie on his neck.

"If he tells you to do the homework again quickly tell me. I'll scold him, it's good he told you to. In this house there is no shortage of helpers until you have to come to work too," Zen said turning his body to face July.

The woman slightly lowered her head, rather she awkwardly looked directly at Zen. Somehow whenever she got closer to Zen there was always a strange vibration, Juli thought it was because she was afraid of Zen because the look on her husband's face always looked firm and cold.

"If I could call you, I would" Juli replied in the end.

"Did he tell you a lot of things?" Zen was still trying to ask. He just wanted to make sure what the godless stepmother had done.

"I just ...." Juli hesitated to say everything.

"Tell me, there's no need to hesitate" Zen said as if he knew Juli's doubts. It was clearly visible from the look on the woman's face.

Hearing that made Zen even more furious, he did not expect that the work that Juli had done that much, Lusi was really outrageous.

"Bad. How dare he tell you many things," growled Zen, "then now you clean yourself up and rest. I'm sure you're very tired."

"Yes. Thank you for defending me."

"Yes, yeah. Ah, don't ever do it again if he orders you, remember that."

Juli only responded with a light nod, then she went inside the bathroom to clean herself up.

Meanwhile, Zen laid himself down on the sofa. She with Juli did not share a mattress, Zen relented and slept on the sofa. Because they had agreed not to touch each other, unless it was unintentional and forced.

Zen felt a little tired today because of the problems at the office, when he came home he wanted calmness. However, what he got was even a shocking thing like this. Zen feels very guilty with Juli, the woman has to do homework she shouldn't have done. Susi is too bad to Juli, just because she did not get Julia as a daughter-in-law she avenged him to July.

After her marriage to Juli, only today did she talk a lot with Juli. All this time they just kept quiet, especially when they were in the room, they almost never spoke. But even so, Zen still paid attention to July.

During the night, Zen also often notices Juli secretly, sometimes there is guilt that continues to envelop his heart when he sees the innocent face of Juli who is asleep.

Sometimes Zen feels very sorry for Juli looking different to Julia, whom he knows they are very different. If Julia looks a lot of talent and loved by many people, in contrast to July which is rarely highlighted by the camera. Even as Zen sees her getting different treatment from her parents, that's why Zen tries to keep doing good to Juli even though their marriage is just a compulsion.

Though Zen's thinking was very wrong, in the Bakhtiar family there was absolutely nothing to distinguish his children, all equated to flattening. Even Juli has always been the youngest child who is always pampered and well taken care of, just that it is not very visible because Juli does not want to show it. Juli herself sometimes to the shame of being too loved like a child, even though she was an adult.

But now, Juli misses all the affection of everyone. Now that she has to get through life a little hard, Juli herself still doesn't want to tell the matter to her parents for fear that they will be worried. Enough Julia who knows this, at least July still has people who can hear her complaints.

Because of that pity, Zen provides complete facilities for July. He gives a debit card for July shopping needs, Zen does not want his wife to lack anything and can have fun freely. Though Juli actually does not need it, she can finance her own life. But for now Zen still did not know about it, that's why Juli just received the card despite not using anything.

After today's incident, her guilt towards Juli intensified. Zen feels very failed to be a husband who can take care of his wife, after this he wants more to be able to protect Juli. She did not want to see the woman crying and tormented at Sanjaya's house.
