Karma Durhaka's Wife
221. Beliefs

The hours of rest are very fast passing. Arya and Calista are in the office.

Stare at a fourteen-inch screen that displays job reports. The empty tables need to be filled in, one by one numbers and letters they type.

Finger games on top of the keyboard indicate that they are busy and do not have time to resume the current conversation.

Until someone calls Calista to meet the president director in his room.

The person had Calista bring along some completed reports. Actually, it's just an excuse.

Ari Mahesa just wanted to talk to the woman about her work as a teaser for her son.

“You want me to accompany?” arya asked with the intention of offering up.

“No, I'll be there myself. Don't do mine! I don't allow it.”

"All right.” Arya just shook her hand to tell Calista to go to the company leader immediately.

Calista walked away from Arya and towards the workspace that was upstairs.

Calista's hand knocked on the door several times, until a voice from within allowed him to enter. Calista smiled at the president and in front of him was a woman who was none other than the wife of the boss.

Rani stands up, then welcomes Calista with hugs and kisses on both cheeks.

“Sit! Auntie wants to chat with you.”

Calista sat on the sofa in the room. Rani wants to know their current development and of course it was told by Calista with pleasure.

“Arya's starting to believe me, Auntie. Right now, he thinks of me as a good friend, but I'm sure I'll soon fall in love with him."

“This is a good development. I'm glad there's finally a woman my son can trust. Good, you're very ingenious, Calista.”

Rani this time is very confident that Calista has earned her son's trust. So, it would easily snatch the heart of his son. Then left the Princess whom he did not like at all as a daughter-in-law.

“Thank you, Aunt.”

“As I've informed, Arya must have a problem with her husband's wife. Try to get close to her, to admit to her unhappy marriage."

"I was amazed at Arya. Looks like my son already got the lady's favor doesn't know itself.”

Rani seems annoyed when discussing the Princess. He tries to make Calista understand the unhappy state of his son.

“Take it easy, Auntie. I'm sure, soon Arya will admit everything.”

“Today you guys are overtime? I will send people to order food for you,” said Ari Mahesa with pleasure.

“Wah, thank you, Om. I'm so happy to get this kind of attention.”

“You've helped us. So, it's fitting that we reply better.”

Calista just nodded. "Thank you, Om." Then he went back to his office.

There, Arya was still struggling with the work before her. Suddenly Calista sat beside him with a new file.

“It ... extra?” ask Arya directly.

“No, this is for tomorrow. He said it'll be sent in the afternoon. So, in the morning we have to work immediately and send this file to the client during the day, right at lunchtime.”

“Oh, so ... tomorrow we have lunch outside the office?”

“Iya. Right you are.”

“Good. We continue this work.” Arya refocused on the laptop screen in front of her without thinking long or suspicious of the figure of the woman sitting next to her.

***

The atmosphere of the office began to be quiet and silent. There were only a few people who were still there because of the unfinished work.

Arya decided to pause for a moment and stretch her body at a glance. He looked to the side, where Calista fell asleep tired.

He pulled out the file on the woman's desk, and then worked on it himself.

Not long after that, a man came with food. The man said that the food was Calista's order for dinner.

He accepted it and placed the food on the table behind them.

Not the heart, but Calista had to fill the stomach so as not to hurt after working hard today. Slowly, he patted the woman on the shoulder.

“Hey, your food is here. Build.”

"God! I fell asleep apparently. I'm sorry.” Calista pretends to straighten stiff muscles and occasionally yawns.

“No problem, just eat first. Your report is done, mine is left.”

“What? Why are you working on it?”

“Already, quickly eat!”

Calista grabbed the food, then opened one by one the packages inside the plastic bag.

Arya smiled, then stopped her activities. They sat there and had dinner.

“Arya, when you come home from work, you go straight to bed?”

“Iya. Just clean yourself up and take care of unfinished homework.” Arya had a puzzled face, but afterwards, was convinced of her and finally revealed her status to Calista.

“I already have a wife.”

“Oh, sorry. I don't know. Do you have children?” Calissa who pretended to be very surprised while smothering her mouth and rounding her eyes.

“My wife is pregnant. She is waiting for the time to give birth this time.”

“I understand. Therefore your face is always lethargic and tired in the morning.”

“Yes. On the other hand, at first our marriage did not get permission from my parents. It's all because she already has a husband.”

“What? Wh who? Your wife?”

“Yes, she has a husband and we finally married siri.”

"God. So, you guys had an affair at first? What then? How now? Are you guys okay?”

Arya did not expect that Calista would respond casually to her marriage. Even. Calistas show no signs of ilfil or are uncomfortable with their current closeness.

“We're not okay. The economy in my little family has us fighting and arguing all the time, but now it's all so much better."

"Just until now, I still didn't have a good relationship with my parents. I don't know, until when will I survive with all this.”

“I can understand how you feel. You must be very depressed with the situation, right? One side is the parents who raised you and took care of you. One side of the woman who is now pregnant with your child."

"You're right."

"But, I'm sorry if I asked you this. Are you sure it's your son? Doesn't that woman have a husband?”

“He assured me it was my son. Princess name, has problems in relationships while with her husband.”

“So apparently. I'm sorry to hear that. Hey, don't stop eating, you have to replenish the energy as well. You are a good man to be a husband.”

“No, but my wife who is too good to sacrifice for me by working while pregnant," said Arya with regret.

“All depends on the head of the family. I'm sorry, I'm not married and I don't have a boyfriend yet. It's just, I look up to friends who already have a family like you.”

Calista now smiled knots because he was very happy when Arya began to believe fully, to want to tell the big secret that had been covered.

Arya just nodded.

After their dinner was over, his feelings were much better after sharing his story with Calista. The woman was very good because she was willing to listen to every explanation and story Arya told.

“You want me to take you home? I saw you using public transportation, didn't I? You can save money if you accept my offer. Or we can go and go home together, but of course if your wife allows it.”

“If you accept your offer, what if you wait for me at the stop? We can go together if you want.”

“Good. That could benefit me. Thank ye. You're so good to me.”

“Cause. You are a good man. So, it's only natural that I do the same."

After that brief conversation, they finished the job at exactly nine p.m.

Not directly back home, Calista invites Arya to drink coffee at a cafe. Sit together with a calming night.

Arya hasn't done it in a long time. In fact, he did not know when was the last time to get such calm at this moment.

Amidst their conversation, Arya's phone rang. There was already the name of the Princess who contacted.

Arya chose not to accept the call because later the wife even leaned in with many questions. He will explain later after he gets home.

That made Calista ask a question.

“Why don't you accept?”

“No, later only when at home, so as not to listen to him speak twice.”

“True too. Sometimes we are tired, but the person with us does not want to know.”

“Tonight was exhausting. Don't even know what I'd do if it was always like this.”

“You can stop by if you need a quiet place. I live in an apartment in the city center. Right next to Mall.”

“Thank you. Alright. Now we go home. I want to go to bed to relax my body and mind." Arya moved from her position because she did not want her wife to think about her.

Calista actually still wants to be with Arya, but can not do it because it will make the man ilfil, so more obey the man's wishes and move from his position to walk towards the exit.

'Patience, I will soon get Arya's heart because she has believed in me, ' said Calista who has now walked behind the man with a tall body full of a million charms.
