Friends Who Destroy
BC 18

The black rubber tires began to grind up the expanse of asphalt that had just begun to spice with the sun, evaporating a thin dew that gave rise to a fine puff of smoke.

"Why do you insist on staying with me?" Faruq asked without looking at Alexa at all.

Alexa chuckles softly. He did not expect that the cold man would still open a conversation with him.

"Of course the main reason is love, especially indeed" replied Alexa relaxed while staring at the streets in front of her.

"Ciih..... Don't you want to find another man who's more suited to you than to have to live a one-sided love with me?"

Faruq's words so unsheathed Alexa's heart that instantly numb. He did not expect that the man next to him still could not accept all the struggles of his love.

Faruq looked at Alexa at a glance when he found out the woman was only speechless when he heard her question. Faruq knows if his words are wrong but it's his main goal that Alexa hates him and he can get divorced with the woman soon.

Shortly afterwards, he arrived at the plaza where Alexa had a meeting with some of his friends, Faruq's car parked smoothly without obstacles.

Alexa hastily rested herself and her feelings. After Faruq's question just now, his heart was completely muddled. But Alexa tried to normalize her feelings after she saw some of her female friends already standing in front of the entrance.

With a graceful gesture Alexa opened the car door and got out of there with a sweet smile that was as strong as she could. He must look happy in front of his friends, they must not know the inner suffering that Alexa experienced. To him it was a disgrace that he had to keep.

Her friends' eagle eyes immediately fixated on Alexa who this time really came with her husband.

"Bah honey..... Be careful.." said Alexa hardened his words to be heard by his friends. Faruq who was in the car just smiled knot in response to the Alexa drama that might take him to the award stage if he participated in the role race.

Without lingering Faruq drove his car away from the magnificent plaza and immediately headed for the office where he worked.

"Waaahh...... Turns out your husband is very handsome huh....." Praise a friend who did not know Faruq before.

Alexa only smiled shyly when she got the compliment even though in her heart she felt proud.

Selly can only snort angrily knowing Alexa managed to get Faruq to drive her there.

Alexa turned to Selly who gave a look of dislike to her, she just smiled a flash with the ridicule she hid behind it. Alexa can win now. At least she can prove that her husband loves Alexa completely.

The event was up to half when Alexa and her friends got boiled crab dishes as well as some other seafood menus they had ordered.

Alexa decided to tie her hair when she wanted to enjoy the menu presented because she did not want to dirty her beautiful hair that was just yesterday she smoothed, some friends also did the same.

"Oh Alexa......" Scream a friend who sits right next to Alexa as her eyes instantly catch something awkward around Alexa's neck.

"Waaah..... Besides being handsome it turns out your husband is aggressive too huh???" said the man while showing his red cheeks.

Alexa who noticed the sign****** around her neck immediately smiled, she felt very lucky Faruq left a trace there, she said, at least it will refute the assumption of others who say if the Alexa and Faruq family relationship is not okay.

"Ooohh yes..... Almost every night my husband asks for a night ration even though he is tired of working all day" Alexa replied proudly as she glanced at another friend.

Of course all the attention was on her, their eyes focused on the blackened ***** on Alexa's white neck.

"Do you believe now that my husband really loves me....." Said Alexa deliberately insinuating the selly that yesterday clearly made fun of him.

Selly who was reluctant to argue only snorted in annoyance, he put the spoon and fork in his hand violently, then without saying anything he left the round table with a feeling of anger.

"How can Alexa prove that? Does Faruq really seriously like Alexa?" Mumbled as he passed.

"Eh wait!!!" Call Alexa to a selly who's a few steps away from the table.

The woman with a short dress, as well as the tote bag in her hand, turned her head. Look at Alexa with a look of wrath.

"Why are you going????" Ask Alexa while approaching the woman whose status is still as an employee.

"You quibble anyway, I already know what your real character is like Alexa. So you can't hide anything from me. Tricks like this look so cheap to me, can't fool me a little bit" Selly replied flatly while suppressing the anger that had accumulated in her chest cavity.

"I don't need a friend like Alexa...." Selly blatantly. He was fed up with the woman in front of him.

"Hey friends..... Does anyone still want to think of this woman as his friend?" Alexa watched her friends for a moment, and no one seemed to raise her palm at all.

"Come on. who wants to be friends with a woman who has blatantly vilified me in front of all of you, spreading false slanders about me" Alexa said with unstoppable emotions.

Seeing that none of his friends were on his side, Selly decided to leave.

......................

Heavy rain still flushed the trees and also the asphalt road that was always dusty when Faruq arrived at his house that was not too big.

Faruq got out of his car, running small while protecting his head with both palms, even so he still could not escape the rain which was quite heavy. Fortunately, the distance from the car to the terrace of the house is only about 10 steps, the short distance does not give wet meaning to the body of Faruq. Arriving at the terrace, Faruq fluttered his slightly wet clothes. Then get inside the house immediately.

"You've come home" said a woman who always waited for him on the sofa when he came home.

Again the tall man was just indifferent and ignored his wife who had given more attention to him.

They have been married for over 3 months and live together. Even so, it has not been able to make Faruq fall for the beautiful and caring woman who is always present at his side. The man's whole heart was still captivated by his true love, Ghea.

"I've served dinner on the table, fried chicken with your favorite potato sauce" said Alexa who immediately rose from her seat, put the fashion magazine on the table and looked at Faruq with a smile.
