Holy Marriage
Something Strange
A pair of shoes entered the elevator, standing by Anna's side. He pushed number 13. The scent of foreign perfume stings on Anna's nose.
“What made you come to the office?”
A familiar voice in Anna's ears. Without even turning her head, Anna already knew who the man standing by her side was. Alan.
“What else if not to meet you.” Anna looked at Alan. The man by her side really looked different than usual. The appearance is different, the way to comb her hair is also different, the fragrance of perfume is different. Even starting from clothes, shoes and ties are different. If Alan used to prefer the style with a suit chime shirt, now he is seen wearing a shirt with a vest outside. If Alan used to wear a dark tie, now he wears a bright tie. Alan looks strange in Anna's eyes. He barely knew Alan if he didn't hear the man's voice.
“You can call me, right? Don't have to come to the office without my knowledge.”
“Didn't you like my presence here?”
Alan was silent.
The elevator door opened, on the first floor. Anna left the door closed and the elevator moved back to the 13th floor.
“What do you mean leave home for no reason? The last few days you didn't return home, I as your wife don't even know where you slept?” Anna held back the gagging annoyance full of damenghela breath lam her chest.
Alan breathed. He stood facing Anna. Then in a flat voice he said, “I'm tired of my life now. I want a new life.”
Anna was caught hearing Alan's reply. Sounds so trivial. Even Anna was seen as trivial by Alan. “New couple of years married, you already said bored. What kind of life makes you enjoy? What is the way to go from home and spend the night somewhere then you feel hepi? Is it by abandoning your wife and children that your boredom is gone? This means you assume that your child and wife are boring.”
“I don't recognize you, Mas Alan. Where was the protective and possessive Mas Alan first? Where's Mas Alan been chasing my love since I was a teenager?” Anna shook her head with teary eyes.
“I never held you back, Anna. You are also free to do anything. You are free to travel or do whatever you want without having to ask my consent. Just like what I'm doing now. So, this is fair isn't it?”
Anna could barely speak hearing Alan's words. A few seconds he took a breath to restore his strength. “Your path, Mas Alan. I really didn't think you'd change this fast.What do you think I am? What do you consider our household? To the extent that you make the assumption that we have fun alone without thinking about a partner. This is not what I want, Alan. It's the same we split up. Do you realize what you just said?”
“Anna, as far as I'm concerned the woman tends to something realistic, including wealth and possessions. Is that not enough for you?” Alan looked at Anna coldly.
“What a thought you have towards me. You really changed, Alan. I don't recognize you at all. Even the content of your thinking was one hundred and eighty degrees changed. As far as I know, the Mas Alan I know does not have such low thoughts towards Anna Salsabila.”
The elevator door opens on the 13th floor.
