Just Love Figurant
Chapter 26

The bride's night should be full of joy like a newlywed who is warm, and sweet. Unfortunately, all that is not felt at all by the couple Marcel and Lusi.

The newlyweds were on a note to Marcel's four parents, to return home to Marcel's apartment. Unfortunately, Shila is not allowed to participate by Inora, because she is afraid that Lusi will be tired of taking care of Shila.

Lusi refused the truth, but he could not argue for now. Another day, Lusi promises to take Shila to live alone.

Maybe Marcel did not want to take care of Shila, so Marcel did not deny at all Inora's wishes this time. Since childhood, Lusi and Shila lived together without being separated. Separated in this way, it does not stop making the heart of Luci pain.

"You should take good care of your wife, son. Mom put her in, and I beg you, please don't make her cry" Inora, the mother gave her advice. "Pregnant women will often have emotions, and their feelings are sensitive. In the period of cravings in young pregnancy, you have to obey what Lusi asks, Marcel," Inora added.

It was seen that Lusi was not okay and his face was deathly pale. Since pregnancy, Lusi was often sick and often fainted. This of course made Inora worry heavily.

"Yes, Mom. Sorry, because Marcel made mom and dad cry this time. Marcel promised, Marcel will take good care of Lusi," Marcel said with a smile. The man's feelings were mixed, between happy and sad that rolled into one.

"Yes, now go home if so. let Luci rest and you should also rest. Pamit is also on Papa and Mama," Inora smiled, glancing at Aridha and Alex who were standing side by side.

"Pa, Ma, also Dad, I'm saying goodbye" said Marcel slowly, the man nodding at Luci, hinting that Lusi should come with him.

"Don't be too tired, Lusi. You have to rest a lot, and keep eating nutritious food. Tomorrow, Mama and Papa will visit you to Marcel's apartment" Aridha said, and Lusi nodded slowly. Lusi is really awkward. A quiet impression attached to him now.

How not? Being his father-in-law, Alex is the number one person in the company where Lusi worked first.

Alex and Dion stare at the passing Marcel, carrying Lusi with the driver and his bodyguard.

Along the way, Lusi just kept quiet. There was no chatter, nor was there any meaningful talk. The two are both silent, do not have the intention of one to greet each other, after a week Lusi went to avoid Marcel.

"Lus, why have you been quiet ever since?" ask Marcel then. "You don't want to tell me, where have you been all week? And also you don't want to be open, what exactly do you want from me, until you decide to leave me," asked Marcel who was not strong for a long time, too, holding back the question that had been lodged in his brain for a few days.

Lusi looked at Marcel from the side, observing the man who was getting more handsome over time. Only, Marcel's face still shows bruises in some parts.

"I rented a boarding room and asked the owner for help, to keep my identity. Also I don't want to make you depressed about marrying me, who you don't love" replied Lusi who then threw her eyes out the car window.

The view this morning before noon, seemed more quiet than usual. There were only a few passing motorists, accompanied by a passing luxury car, with a few numbers.

"But you're pregnant with my son, Lusi. How can you say you don't want to put me under pressure, while this week, you've been messing me up looking for you?" Marcel pressed his sentence.

There was a corner of Marcel's heart that was injured instantly. The woman really does not know how she should behave. He allowed and instead made Marcel think, that he was forced to.

But you know what really happened? What Lusi said, was far inversely proportional to what was in his heart. That love begins to grow for Marcel, and Lusi realizes it.

"Just up to you, Lusi," Marcel replied in a cold tone. Finding this, Lusi's heart ached. He did not want to justify Marcel's accusation to him, if he deliberately sipped Renata's drink because Lusi wanted Marcel. To be honest, love was present, along with the fetus that was beginning to grow in her womb.

Not felt, now the two have arrived at Marcel's apartment. The magnificent tall building, towering and making Lusi amazed in his heart.

"Come," Marcel flattened, taking out a large bag from the trunk of the car. The man also carried Lusi's bag, and let Lusi tail behind him.

"Come in, Lusi," Marcel said to Luci who is now pegging on the doorstep of his unit. Lusi blinked his eyes several times, when he saw Marcel's luxurious apartment with an elegant interior design. Not to forget, there are some furniture that Lusi knows, the price is quite fantastic.

"The kitchen, the living room that doubles as a television room is this place. Our room is there, and if you're bored, you can go to the balcony and see the streets of the capital. If you need anything, just tell me, I'll set up an account for your monthly spending ration. Meanwhile, use this first," said Marcel who is now holding out four pieces of money in red.

Luci gulped his saliva with great difficulty. She did not expect that she would get a monthly allowance from Marcel, after she disappeared and moved away from her husband.

"Take it, don't look at it. I'm going out to the office. I'll be home in the afternoon" added Marcel.

Clumsy, Lusi received the money her husband gave her. "Thank you" he answered. "You're not taking a shower?"

"I'll take a shower at the office. Just wait, there will be someone who delivers a closet for your clothes" said Marcel.

"Thank you," Lusi let go of her husband with a bad feeling. Every now and then, he stared at the sheet of money Marcel gave him. Luci's heart felt blown away for a moment.

'For God's sake I love you, Marcel. But I dare not wish more in our marriage. I know, you don't love me. If you ever throw me away, I'll have to be ready for the worst.'

Inner Luci.

I don't know what will happen in the future, which is clear, Lusi resigned if later he was dumped by Marcel. Not wanting to be too late in a long silence, Luci then grabbed his old cell phone, contacting his sister who currently lives at Inora's house, his mother-in-law.
