Love In Sketches
CDS 127'S

"What exactly is the content of the book, Rubby?" Arya pretended not to know.

"My secret and Mas can't know!" Rubby exclaimed, staring intently at her husband. While Arya even pulled one corner of her lips and smiled slanted.

"What secret? Are we not husband and wife? There shouldn't be any secrets between us, right?" Arya asked him to try to corner his wife.

"But not for this one!" Sergey Rubby was still staring at him.

"What is the secret of your love? About someone you like?" Terka Aryan's.

"Mas don't need to know!" Rubby still put on his fierce face, and it made Arya want to laugh in fact.

"Akh, yes I remember. You used to draw a sketch of a man's face, right? And you said you liked it? What did you write in that book about him?" Terka Arya again. Rubby remembers sketching Arya's face, but Arya doesn't even know it's her own face and thinks she likes another man.

"Why shut up, Rubby? Am I right?" Arya asked who saw her wife go silent.

"That's..." Rubby was confused. Had Rubby said yes, Arya would have been angry with him. Because Arya doesn't know that it's a picture of her. And if she answers no, Arya will definitely keep asking.

"That's what?" Arya is still faithfully waiting for his wife's answer.

"No idea, akh..." Rubby melengos, and intends to keep the book back in the closet. Just about to open the door of her closet, Arya pulled her arm. He squeezed Rubby's body until his back hit the closet slowly.

"Mas...?"

"Why have you never been honest with me?" Ask Arya flatly.

"Honest about what?" Rubby asked, his face confused.

"About what's in that book." Arya asked, pointing at the book with her gaze.

"Mas, the one in this book was my secret before marrying you. So you have no right to know." Rubby replied timidly as he saw Arya's different eyes.

"A... Whatchu mean... Mas?" Rubby stuttered, pretending not to understand.

"You fell in love with a man two years ago, at first sight." Arya stared fixedly at the woman before her. A pair of Rubby's netra are rounded behind his glasses.

"The man who helped you. You don't know his name, but you can't forget his face. That's why every day you sketch that guy's face." Arya. Rubby swallowed his saliva which seemed to be stuck in his throat, his face turned pale.

"Aryan Firaz. You finally know the guy's name. It even turns out that he is the man who will marry you. You're so grateful to finally be able to marry the man you love." Aryan's speech mimicked the one Rubby wrote in his book.

Rubby froze with a face that gradually turned red. Don't tell me that her husband has read the contents of the book? It's gonna be so embarrassing. Rubby shook his head slowly.

"Mas... Already read... My book?" Tanya Rubby stammered. Arya looks calm.

"You think?" Arya asked back, one corner of the raised lips formed a slanted smile. Rubby's heart beat fast, along with his hunting breath.

"Mas Firaz !!!" Rubby squealed, his voice as if breaking the eardrum that heard him. She pushed her husband's body back a few steps.

"You're a bitch! You're such a bitch!" Rubby beats up Arya mercilessly with her book. The book was heavy and thick-covered as well, making Arya grimace because it felt quite sick.

"Rubby, stop! It's sick!" Arya tries to repel his wife's attack, but Rubby continues to land blows repeatedly on his body.

"Felt! Wrong yourself why reading my book, Mas must accept the consequences!" Exclaims.

"Arya, Rubby, what's going on?" Mother Maya has been standing in the doorway, not since when the middle-aged woman was there. Rubby immediately stopped, while Arya rubbed her limbs that were painful and reddened by the blow of his wife.

"Why did you beat up your husband, Rubby?" Ask Mother Maya who has stood in front of her daughter and daughter-in-law.
