Lies
Keep Distance

The weirdness continued a few days later. Raya never met Karan at the same time. Karan will come home very late where Raya has fallen asleep in a dream and went to work when Raya still has not awakened from her sleep. Even more strangely, Karan has not been away from home for a week. The man's suitcase was still comfortable in its place as if it would not be used anymore. In addition, except for asking Raya to call when she was awake, Karan did not ignore the existence of Raya at all. The man seemed not to think Raya was in his house and lived alone.

As it happens now. Again Raya was late to catch up with Karan when he woke up earlier than before. Raya woke up at six in the morning and she was only half an hour away from Karan's departure. But the night is the same. Raya goes to bed at 12pm, while Karan returns home an hour later. Raya feels a little weird. He is very uncomfortable with this situation. Like Karan was trying to get away from her. The problem is, Raya doesn't know what her mistake is. The one who was rude that night was Karan, why was it as if Karan was punishing him?

Raya didn't call Karan right away after he woke up. The woman did the ritual first. He did a little exercise on the porch, took a bath and did facial treatments. Two hours later, he calls Karan and eats his breakfast.

“Halo!” raya said as soon as Karan raised his call.

“Are you having breakfast?” ask Karan without any stale bases at all. He did not say hello to his wife, instead directly throwing questions at the woman. Really typical of the CEO in the last seven days. Of course this was different from the one before. Because the former Karan will immediately throw seduction and conversation sentences such as expressing the words love and longing, but without feeling at all that makes Raya feel nothing when she hears it.

Not much different from Karan, Raya also continues to do her trademark, which is answering Karan's questions very briefly. “Ya.”

“Year you slept well?” Karan asks almost similar questions every day. Is Raya awake? Is sleep really good? Is it breakfast? And things are similar to that. Exactly like a young man today did when he wanted to approach his woman.

Raya just listened to him while frowning, feeling very amused. Strangely, however, Raya did not hate him. Again, compared to Karan who praises her every day without feeling, Raya prefers the present Karan. Karan who was blunt though a little stiff. Karan's side is the same as Raya's mother-in-law once told. Cute yet adorable.

“Ya,” reply Fast.

“Alright, I will continue my work again. If there's anything you need, just tell Anna. He will buy it for you soon.”

Karan intends to turn off his phone, but Raya quickly prevents the man's actions. “Waiting Karan!” hatchlings.

“Ya?” karan's voice sounded surprised.

Raya also felt surprised by his actions. He himself is confused as to why is holding Karan disconnecting his call. He did not know what he was going to tell Karan. It was just a spontaneous act because Raya did not want their conversation to just stop. Wait up! Why did Raya not want their conversation to be over? Isn't that what Raya wants?

Karan who was indifferent to her. Karan was cold. Karan's current attitude is the picture of the ideal marriage that Raya once imagined. That way, he and Karan can live each other's lives without interfering in each other's affairs.

“Why Kingdom? Is there anything you want to tell me? You need anything?” tukas Karan after not hearing the words of his wife. There's no answer. If you do not hear the sound of instrumental music that often Raya plays at home, Karan will think their phone connection is cut off suddenly. “Raya?”

“Ah, yes!” Raya jerks. He had thought of all sorts of ideas, but only that one came to his mind. So inevitably Raya will express it. “Are you home late again?”

Karan doesn't know if coming home late at night like that includes being late for him. Nothing has changed from Karan's working hours before marriage or now. The man will still be home at midnight. At the earliest he will reach home at 10 pm, that too he feels very early. Therefore, he will only go home early if needed, for example when his mother and father told him to do it.

But Karan believes his working hours are very different from Raya's. As a model, Raya must have come home late at night and even slept on the set of a photo shoot or filming an advertisement. But of course not as often as Karan does. The grand schedule although erratic but still can make the woman sleep quite regularly. Karan sleeps three to five hours a day. Very less time for a man with such solid activity.

“Yes, I'll be home late.” Karan eventually concludes that he must follow Raya's point of view.

“What time?”

“No, I just ..” Raya stopped talking. His fingers tapped on the dining table as his head thought. Raya continued, “I mean, can you go home early?”

Karan responded, “More early? Yes can. Maybe I'll be home by 9pm.”

“Ti-no! Don't clock it. How about early?” chletap Raya who was unconsciously bargaining with her husband. This has never happened in the life of the Kingdom, not even with any man.

“Will I think first after I know the reason why I should go home sooner.”

Is correct. Reason. Karan who is a businessman will definitely think about the profit and loss of every thing, including time. Rather than spending time at home for no apparent reason, Karan would definitely prefer to be in the office looking for money. It was more profitable for him and his company.

“I want to have dinner with you,” cetus Raya in the end. Actually Raya wanted nothing more than to chat with her husband. Raya thinks there may be little hope to improve their relationship, especially if they have not even two months married. You need to know Karan more deeply so that he knows how to behave. And so is Karan. They need to know each other. They need to communicate more intensely.

Karan's voice came from the end of the call. But the man did not speak to Raya, but to Ian. “Cancel all my promises tonight,” Karan said.

Vaguely heard the voice of Ian replied, “Tap Sir, tonight you have to come to the auction event.”

“Ian, I don't like to repeat my words.”

Ian also replied resignedly, “Good Sir.”

After making sure his schedule had been cancelled, Karan spoke again to Raya. “I can go home early tonight. We'll have dinner together. Where do you want dinner?”

It was unthinkable of any location within the head of the Kingdom other than at home. Since he could not get out of the house at all without Karan's permission, plus the bad experience of dinner that has not long passed, then the house is the most appropriate place for him.

“At home only. I'll wait for you,” reply Kingdom.

“Ya, alright.”

A strange sensation roiled in Raya's chest after the conversation. Imagining dinner with Karan really made Raya blush. They never had dinner together. Errata. Except for the crucial days for formalization with the family, they never did. Now, Raya even gave an invitation to Karan first. What's the matter with him?

“Argh shit!” raya said while cupping her face. He felt something else on Karan. His heart was beating and he was nervous. Is this a sign that he has started to open his heart to Karan?

Raya shook her head quickly. Certainly not so fast. He did this because he felt very lonely. This palace-like house was too big for him. There were indeed household assistants he could chat with, but it was not enough to settle the loneliness in his heart. For years she worked as a model. Drisana is always surrounded by many people.

Now, when the job has been lost, Raya does not know what to do. The manager who always follows him does not exist. In fact, the aunt who always looked after him every day could not be by his side anymore. It was really confusing how to spend the days in this house. Raya felt alone, lonely .. both things that made her stressed. He needs work to get rid of his saturation. He needs a friend. And besides Karan, her own husband, who's the friend Raya should talk to again?
