Just Love Figurant
Chapter 28

"What if I told you, I'm more than capable of making you fall in love with me?" lusi said, making Marcel frown in disbelief.

Susi, who is usually quiet and a crisis in her confidence, suddenly confident and challenging Marcel. Somehow, Lusi dared to express and express his heart openly.

"You sure? You don't know what criteria I want" said Marcel calmly.

"Although I don't know what criteria you want, but I assure you, the desired will lose to the always attentive. Stop, Marcel. I've made up my mind so far, I hope you no longer feel guilty. Just live this wedding moment," Lusi put down the small towel she used to compress her husband's face.

Evening had just arrived, when the newlyweds came out of the apartment unit. Marcel and Lusi walked together, heading to the basement to pick up the car.

"What do you want to eat tonight, Lusi?" ask Marcel flat.

The man hasn't said much since Luis compressed his face with warm water. I don't know, maybe Marcel felt uncomfortable with the last sentence of Lusi earlier.

"It's up to you" replied Lusi before turning silent. There are many things that make Marcel think. Including their marriage relationship.

For Marcel, Lusi was too confident. And of course it managed to make Lusi lose points in the eyes of Marcel. Not only that, Marcel does not like if he is too pressured to fall in love with Susi.

Along the way, Marcel asked his heart, did he like Lusi? What if he lived with Lucia? Marcel felt, there was nothing special about Lusi. Unfortunately, everything Marcel thinks is contrary to reality.

Until then Marcel drove his car in the yard of a restaurant, they were still silent, as if they were two strangers accidentally trapped in a situation like this.

After they ordered the food, Marcel immediately sat down, kept quiet and Marcel chatted with Luci. The woman was starving, and felt pain just like this afternoon. Marcel should be attentive, but unfortunately, there is Lusi was actually ignored like this.

"Eat, Lusi," orders Marcel to Lusi, who now looks at the food presented on the table. It was tempting indeed, but somehow the nausea came back, and Lusi yawned about to vomit.

Just as Marcel had bribed a spoonful of food into his mouth, Lusi just passed by leaving him, and headed to the nearest toilet. With great force, Marcel caught up with Luci, who was spewing out his entrails at the sink.

"Lus, are you nauseous again? should we just pack up the food and take it home?" marcel asked, kneeling the nape of his wife.

Until Lusi's vomiting had subsided, the woman could only answer while saying, "No, Marcel. Just eat here. My stomach is empty and I can't vomit anymore. Come on," take Lusi later.

Marcel didn't want to worry too much, and preferred to go back to their table. The man felt sorry for the real Lusi. It's just, he doesn't want Lusi big head later.

"Alright," replied Marcel as he walked out with a bag of Susi.

"The illusion? Oh, my God, you're so pale. You haven't eaten yet?" asked Renata who looked at Marcel and Luci alternately.

"I'm fine, Ren," replied Lusi. While Marcel, the man chose silence without any intention of greeting Renata at all. Between the shame mixed with disappointment, that's how Marcel feels today when he meets Renata.

"Sorry, Lusi. My husband wants to go somewhere. I'm leaving first" said Renata, when she realized Marcel's uncomfortable gaze. Seen once, bruised on Marcel's face although it looks slightly reduced.

"Go, Renata. Be careful on the road" said Lusi. The woman found Marcel eating quickly.

"Marcel, what's wrong with you?" Lusi asked in a soft voice. "Slow down just eat it, are you in a hurry to get something done?" ask her husband.

"Yes. My body is tired and I want to rest" replied Marcel later. Inevitably, Lusi also sped up his meal.

Tonight, it should be Marcel and Lusi's first wedding night. The couple seemed silent since their return from the restaurant. This makes Lusi uncomfortable.

The two had laid their bodies on the bed, with Marcel lying down and closing his eyes with his left arm.

A word said, Marcel did not talk to Luci since the meeting with Renata earlier. Whose heart can be comfortable?

There was a helpless lightning that Lusi appeared. She couldn't force her husband to talk. But letting the atmosphere of silence like this, is also not a good thing.

"Marcels? You're asleep already?" ask Lusi later.

"What's wrong?" marcel asked without removing his arm from the top of his face.

"I see you've been quieter since you met Renata. Did I make a mistake?" tanya Lusi who is in a sitting position next to Marcel's head.

"I'm not in the mood to do anything, Renata. Never mind. Just sleep, tomorrow we will go to the market to shop for groceries. Oh yeah, there's one thing I want to tell you. Two weeks later, I started college while working. So sorry if I only have time at night with you. It's okay, isn't it?" marcel asked, looking at Luci and sitting in line with his wife.

"No problem. Oh yeah, what's your silence since it had something to do with Renata?" ask Lusi again.

"Yes. I still love him," replied Marcel without further ado, without thinking about the feeling of Lusi who felt slapped with Marcel's sentence.
