I'm Not Your Bridge

I'm Not Your Bridge
Chapter 5


That morning, when Aaron opened the door for the first time, he actually found a box containing a very beautiful party dress in the front yard of his house. Inside there are also some complementary jewelry that matches the dress and a piece of paper bearing the address of a beauty salon that is quite famous in this city.


Aaron picked up the box and took it inside. But as soon as he came in, his phone rang with Albert's name on his screen. He pressed the green button to receive the call. "Yes, sir," he said.


"Have you received the package from me?" asked the voice across.


"Already, sir. This stuff is in my hands."


"Good! Now take Nayyara to the salon on the paper. I've bocked the whole place today just for him."


"Good, sir. I'll do it soon." And the phone connection was cut off.


"Who just called, Mas?."


Aaron was shocked to hear the sound. He turned his body to see who was asking. " a....Nayyara," he said nervously. I could not believe his wife was behind him. "Oh, how's this? Did Nayyara hear all my talk on the phone?" he murmured in a frightened heart.


Seeing her husband suddenly become nervous after learning that he was the one who asked, Nayyara immediately suspected. "What's up, Mom? Why do you look so scared?" ask her with both eyebrows linked together.


"No, I'm just surprised to see you suddenly behind me" he replied lying. "Mmh... You heard my conversation on the phone, didn't you?" I asked back a little scared.


"No! That's why I asked, who called you this early in the morning?."


Aaron breathed a sigh of relief at his wife's admission that he had not heard her talk.


"Why now even dumb, mas?" nayyara said as she shook her palms in front of her husband's face.


Aaron flinched, regaining consciousness from the daydreams. "No, I was thinking something" he replied."


"Think what?" ask Nayyara back.


"It's nothing. Not something that matters either!."


"Oh that!," Nayyara the mangosteen heard her husband's reply. "But by the way you haven't answered my question, you know."


Nayyara, who has a high curiosity, again asked her husband for an answer to his question. While Aaron who deliberately avoided the question his wife also pretended to forget the question. "Which question is it? How can I not remember."


"Ish, don't you remember?" midget Nayyara is upset. "So I'm nanya, who called you in the morning?."


Aaron was pretending to remember his wife's question. "Oh that, only business partners who cooperate," he answered a little lie.


Nayyara was a manggut-beard, believing in her husband's answer. But then her gaze was fixed on the big box that her husband was carrying. "What's that box, Mas are you carrying?" tanyakanya.


Aaron patted his own eel. "God until I forget. Here I buy you a new dress. Later that night I'll take you to a hotel party to attend my business partner's birthday party. That's why I deliberately bought this dress for you," he said as he handed the box to his wife.


Nayyara received the box with a small laugh. "I think lately you've been forgetting a lot" he said. He opened the box and took out the contents.


"Well, that's a great dress, Mas" she said full of admiration.


"Do you like it?."


"Of course for you. Who else is it for." Seeing the smile on his wife's face, Aaron was also happy. "If so malem ntar in use yes!."


Hearing the husband's words, Nayyara's face suddenly changed. "Sorry, Mas, but ntar malem I can't accompany you to the party."


Hearing his wife's words, Aaron was shocked. "Lho, why? Is the dress any less nice?."


"Mom, that's not it, Mas" replied Nayyara quickly, dismissing her husband's assumption.


"Why then?" ask Aaron back. He was afraid that all his plans would fail if Nayyara really didn't come along.


Nayyara lowered her head. "Actually tonight I have a dance performance. I have also told you this in advance. Do you not remember?."


Aaron flinched at his wife's answer. He just remembered that Nayyara had married him.


In recent months, Nayyara has been taking dance classes because dancing is her hobby. And tonight is the first show.


Aaron breathed heavily. "Sorry, Nay, I forgot. But I beg you to accompany me tonight. That meeting will mean a lot to me."


"My performance tonight is also very important to me, Mas" Nayyara said emotionally. "You even promised to accompany me there."


Aaron was silent at his wife's words. For a moment thought about how to persuade his wife to be willing to come along.


"But tonight is really a very important night for me, Nay. The meeting will not be just an ordinary party because at the meeting, all my hard work during this time will be at stake. Can't you sacrifice a little for my career?" he said softly, his eyes staring at Nayyara.


Seeing the sadness in the eyes of the husband, Nayyara's heart was pitying. "Alright, Mas. I'll accompany you to the party tonight."


Suddenly Aaron's face turned cheerful immediately upon hearing the approval of his wife. "Are you sure of your decision?" tanyanya.


"Yes, Mom, I'm sure!" replied Nayyara while nodding her head.


A very difficult decision. Because it means he has to bury his dreams all this time. But all that he did to support the career of the husband.


Sontak Aaron hugged his wife and showered her with a kiss. "Thank you very much, Nay, you are a very understanding wife. "


"Now you're getting ready!" he said then after breaking down the hug.


Nayyara frowned confusedly. "Prepared? Now then? Isn't it a tad, Mas? Isn't the party still at the mall?."


Aaron smiled looking at his wife who strafed him with many questions. "For now we will go to the beauty salon so that you can do facial and body treatments before we go to the party. I want you to look stunning and be the center of attention tonight."


"No ah, Mas, I'm ashamed," refused Nayyara.


"Why should I be ashamed? You are so beautiful. I want to show everyone that I am the luckiest man to have you. Don't you want people to know you as my wife?."


Nayyara again let out a heavy sigh. Though hesitating a little, he finally agreed. "All right, Mom, I want to!."


Aaron is getting happier to see his wife obey his wishes. "Thank you a lot, Nay. I love you."
