Marriage With (Out) Love
Chapter 12 - Elnara's Request

For the past 1 year, Genta has always been suspicious of Elnara and Zayan's marriage. It is undeniable that the marriage started from Genta's admiration for Zayan, but as a father of course Genta does not want if Zayan hurt his daughter.

Reasoning not to want Zayan to cheat on the beloved princess, Genta secretly sends a spy to find out what really happened. Genta is currently awaiting a report from his trusted spy.

Not long after a spy named Wika comes, he is a spy who can be relied on by Genta for working in a company owned by the Zayan family.

“How, Wika?” ask Genta directly.

Wika handed him a brown envelope containing many photos of Zayan and a woman together. From looking at the photos, Genta concluded that Zayan dared to cheat behind Elnara.

“The woman was named Micah and she was the secretary of the new Mr. Zayan. From what I know they're ex-lovers and for the reason they broke up I don't know yet, sir. Of the few employees who were witnesses, they saw the beginning of entering Micah always approached Mr. Zayan, but never responded by Mr. Zayan. Just a few weeks ago they were seen often together, like having lunch together or coming home from work together.”

Genta was silent, he was trying to control his emotions. Both of his hands clenched tightly, not to deny if the princess he loved so much had to experience this all. Genta would avenge those two shameless humans, he would make them regret having dared to hurt the daughter of Genta Selim.

“Thank you, you can go. Keep an eye on them and keep telling the latest news about the two, do not forget to find information about the reasons they broke up. Find out also the background of the woman, find the slightest reproach to be able to drop it!” genta said giving the order.

Wika nodded respectfully and immediately resigned herself. He must immediately execute the orders of Genta.

Genta was furious and he prepared to devise a plan to avenge Zayan's cheating attitude. However, Genta had not had time to carry out the plan suddenly Elnara came.

Elnara smiled gently at Genta as if calming her Papa's anger. Elnara believes her Papa already knows what happened to her marriage.

"Bapi," call Elnara gently.

"You're hiding all this, son?" Genta persisted with a wiry.

"I'm sorry El, Pi ... El knows it might make Papi and Mami disappointed to have covered this up from you. El doesn't want to add to the burden of Papi and Mami's mind. During this time El tries to overcome all problems alone, El wants to be a mature woman who does not have to take shelter behind parents."

"Sorry Papi should be more sensitive so you don't have to feel pain. You take it easy, Papi will teach Zayan and the woman a lesson."

Hearing Genta's words made Elnara shake her head slowly. He did not want Genta to go too far.

"No, Pi. El does not want Papi to go too far and make Mas Zayan hate El. It may sound silly, but El wants to hang on and fight once again. Please allow El to fight again, El promises to go back to Papi and Mami if El fails."

Genta felt ill seeing Elnara who loved Zayan so much, but the man cheated.

"But what if you ask. Promise me one thing to come back with Papi and Mami if you've given up."

Elnara nodded in agreement, not forgetting to give her sweet smile to the Papi. The two hugged tightly, letting go of the longing that quietly infiltrated the heart.

"But, don't tell me this to Mami huh. Let this be a secret for both of us, El does not want Mami to be sad." pinta Elnara who would not want to be approved by Genta.

Elnara promises in her heart that this is the last chance to make Zayan fall in love. Whether or not it works, Elnara will prepare a strong heart. All was his wish that was why he should not complain.

Without even bothering to stare and greet Micah, Elnara immediately opened the door of Zayan's room. He had already notified Zayan and the man allowed it.

Elnara had already opened the door of Zayan's room when Micah's voice called her name. Micah forbade Elnara from entering Zayan's room without permission.

"Sorry, El you can't get in without permission first." Micah smiled trying to pull Elnara's hand.

"I don't need your permission, if you forget I'm Mas Zayan's wife!" Elnara said firmly and immediately brushed off Micah's hand trying to touch her.

"But-"

"One more thing, I am your boss's wife, so please speak politely!" cut Elnara fast before Micah refutes her.

Elnara immediately entered Zayan's room and closed the door just before Micah managed to follow in her footsteps. Elnara was furious that Micah was being too impudent and as if he was the one in power.

Zayan himself just kept quiet did not intend to interfere in the quarrel of the two women. Seeing Zayan silent, Elnara immediately took a position to speak seriously to her husband.

"Mas Zayan, there's something El wants to talk about." Elnara opened the conversation nervously.

Zayan immediately turned his attention, staring at the pretty face of Elnara in silence.

"Mas, El has one request. El hope Mas Zayan will grant it" said Elnara Lirih.

"What's that?" Zayan asked flatly making Elnara sigh softly.

"El knows our marriage is not normal, we are not like husband and wife in general. El just wants a simple request, El wants us to go through this marriage like a couple in general."

"What do you mean, Elnara?" zayan asked not to understand.

"El only took thirty days, please realize El's desire to live a normal married life. El promised, after thirty days and Mas Zayan wanted to go then El would. El won't bother Mas Zayan and let Mas go with the woman he loves."

Elnara said carefully, she did not want Zayan to misunderstand later. Elnara's decision was well thought out. He just wanted to have a few good memories with Zayan even though it would eventually become painful.

Elnara wanted to feel like a wife in general. Although he knew that he would live later only a game, Elnara still wanted to live it.

As he had said earlier, he would release Zayan sincerely after the 30 days were over. Elnara will release the man and return to her parents. It might sound sad, but he was already convinced of this decision. If later Zayan changed his mind and wanted to maintain their household, of course it was the most beautiful gift from God.

Zayan himself was silent for a moment, the man seemed to think before making a decision. Not getting an answer, Elnara finally asked slowly again.

"How about it, Mas Zayan?"
