Love in Marriage 3
Chapters 15. Aleta's Suspicions.
Love is something that most affects every person, especially in women who always use feelings in a relationship. Melda who just felt first love, so very broken and hurt, when she had to sacrifice her feelings, in order to realize what her parents' wishes as well as expectations, in order to realize, the one who left left him forever.
For the sake of filial piety and affection for her parents, Melda was forced to sacrifice her own feelings. When she did not know love, Melda always hoped that she could feel love, only for one man in her life. But the fact that it happened, even the first love he just felt in such a short time, had to end with a heart wound that was excruciating.
After entering through the back door, Melda chose to go directly up to the top floor through the back stairs. He did not want anyone to suspect seeing his face that looked so puffy. Rubbing the remaining tears on her face, Melda stepped towards her room.
Arriving inside the room, Melda immediately rushed towards the bathroom to clean her face. But just a few steps, he recalled the Reza he had left behind in the back garden. Melda finally chooses to see Reza through the window of her room.
After the curtains opened, Melda immediately looked down looking for Reza's whereabouts. But what he was looking for was nowhere to be seen at all. Finally he stepped back into the bathroom, to immediately clean the makeup on his face that was already very messy.
Reza who was stepping into the living room to join the Permana family, who looked so happy and excited about the engagement of Melda and Farel, tried to stay strong even though his heart was so broken. The expression Reza showed was very different from what he was feeling at that moment.
"Where are you Za?" Faris asked after Reza sat down beside her.
"I just got off the phone with my boss in Malaysia." Reza's answer is lying.
Reza deliberately brought the name of Mr. Rendra, so he could say his plan to return to Malaysia soon. Because he has made sure, if Aleta who is also looking at him will ask the purpose of Mr. Rendra calling him, because Aleta is a person who always wants to know with what is concerned with his brother.
"He asked me to return to Malaysia immediately, because there is a job in his company that I have not finished yet!" Reza answered while looking one by one at the people in front of him.
"What kind of work have you not finished?" Faris asked with a look of finding out.
"The work on building a large hotel owned by Mr. Rendra that I handled, but it was delayed and will be resumed soon."Reza replied lying with such a serious look.
"So you're going back there?" Ask Faris.
"Yes,,! I have to take responsibility for the work contract I have agreed. I'm sorry for not being able to work here much longer." Reza said as he looked at Papa Fahri as well as Faris in turn.
"That's nothing Za,,! In fact I'm very grateful, because you've been willing to help in my company." Said Papa Fahri with a friendly smile.
"Yes Za, you don't have to apologize! It is precisely we who must apologize, for inconveniencing you in our company." Connect Faris.
Without them all realizing it, Melda who looked so miserable, was hearing what they were talking about from behind the wall of the living room. Tears that he did not want to let out again, again accommodated filled his beautiful eyelids. Melda desperately does not want the legitimacy, but anyway she has to let go of the man she loves so much, to go from her side of life .
After taking a deep breath while wiping away her tears, which almost spilled down her face, Melda spoke in her heart with a look that looked so pitiful.
"Well, I will always remember you as my first love. I hope someday, you'll find a woman who can make you happy." Melda spoke inwardly while holding back her tears.
After that Melda immediately stepped over to Reza and his family who were waiting for him. Melda stepped over with a smile that looked so forced. And just as she was about to sit next to Mama Alira, Aunt Leni who was also there with Boy, immediately stood up and pulled her hand while saying.
"Darling, we have to capture your beauty before the show starts!" Aunt Leni said as she pulled Melda's hand slightly away from the others.
Melda simply complied expressionlessly following her Tantal will, which looked so excited. With a look that looks so uninspired, Melda was in style following the direction of Aunt Leni who was ready to take pictures with the camera in her hand. But not yet had Aunt Leni take pictures, Mama Alira suddenly voiced because she saw the expression of Melda's face.
"Darling, don't you seem happy?" Mama Alira said that made Melda so wrong.
"Ngga ko Ma! Akuu, I'm so happy!" Melda replied stammeringly, trying to smile as sweetly as possible.
"That's dong baby! Tonight is a very happy night for all of us, so you should always smile! Because your smile will perfect your beauty! Isn't that Zaa?" Mama Alira said with a smile looking at Melda and Reza alternately.
"True Auntie!" Reza replied with a smile to Mama Alira, without glancing at Melda at all.
Reza had chosen not to look at Melda at all since earlier. She was so unable to see Melda because she remembered Melda's words in the back garden, that Melda would have suffered so much away from her. And because of that, so he thought he had to be cold and indifferent to Melda, so Melda did not feel too lost when she left later.
While Melda who realized Reza's attitude changed instantly, immediately understood Reza's mind path. He realized that Reza was very forced to do that, because he also knew that the man who had ransacked his feelings, also loved him with all his heart. After taking a deep breath, Melda who looked so sexy in the clothes she was wearing, immediately smiled with one hand on her waist, facing Aunt Leni who was ready to take a picture.
While others were watching Melda and Aunt Leni, Aleta focused on her brother's expression and behavior, which she thought was a little strange. Reza was indeed a very cold and stiff man, but his attitude that night was so different in the eyes of Aleta who already knew him very well.
Aleta felt that something Reza was hiding from her. He believes that Reza is being pressured by such a complicated matter. He was eager to find out what was going on in his brother's mind, but he couldn't ask all of that in front of the Permana family, because he was afraid it was about Reza's privacy.
