Marriage With (Out) Love
Chapter 8 - Micah's Request

Okta's eyes flashed furiously, she really didn't expect Zayan to act stupidly like this in order to protect Micah's feelings.

"Yes, Zayan is married. Married to my sister, so I hope you're self-conscious!" Okta said sadistically ignoring Micah's pale-looking face.

"Okta, let's talk about this inside. I don't want any commotion here!" Zayan was ready to withdraw Okta's hand, but his best friend raised the hand of a sign that he did not want to be disturbed.

"Listen to my words Zayan, as the sister of Elnara I ask you not to act far. Don't let me know you hurtin El 'cause you're really dealing with me. You know best even I'm willing to lose my life for El's sake. Remember, this is not just a Zayan threat. I've never messed with my words when it comes to El!"

Once again Okta cast a hostile look at Zayan and Micah, then the man left immediately. In each step, Okta swore that if one day Elnara would come crying to her, Okta herself would avenge every drop of Elnara's tears.

After Okta left, Zayan and Micah were still standing in front of Zayan's door. Micah was still crying, staring disappointedly at Zayan.

"Nadara? So that little girl is your wife, Zayan? You married someone else, but you know even today I still love you." Micah looked disappointedly at Zayan who only had a flat face.

"What cares about you? I'm married to whoever it's none of your business!" Zayan said cynically trying to ignore Micah's tears.

"But I love you, Zayan!" mike shouted not to accept.

"After leaving without news now you are indulging in the word love?" Zayan stared flatly at Micah who looked desperate.

When Zayan turned to return to his room, Micah made a sound.

"I'm sure you still love me. I will prove it myself, I will make you aware of your own feelings!" micah said confidently, but Zayan gave no reaction.

Zayan immediately entered his room, leaving Micah still standing with a wounded heart.

"I'm sure Zayan, you still love me. You didn't even say anything about your marriage, I know you're keeping my feelings in check." Micah muttered staring at the tightly shut door of Zayan's room.

Armed with confidence, Micah finally decides to meet Elnara. Micah wants everything to be clear and he will give Elnara understanding.

Elnara herself had no idea what purpose Micah had asked her to meet in this lunch hour. For several weeks now Elnara has been avoiding Micah. However, Micah deliberately invites Elnara to meet under the pretext that there is something important to talk about.

"What's up, Micah's mother?" elnara asked as she sat in front of Micah. Elnara was reluctant to make small talk after learning of Micah and Zayan's past.

"I already know your relationship with Zayan" Micah said.

"It's good that Micah's mother knows." Elnara smiled briefly then pretended to be busy with her lunch.

"You know my relationship with Zayan?" Micah asked carefully.

"That's not what I meant. What I mean is a special relationship between me and Zayan. We're former lovers who've been in love for years."

Hearing Micah's confident words Elnara let out a small laugh.

"I know that too" said Elnara casually.

"You know, but you didn't do anything?" Micah asked in an annoyed tone that he could not cover up.

"What's it doing, Ma'am? Angry and hit Madam Micah? Sorry, but I'm not interested in doing that."

"Enough base. I said this to remind you. Zayan and I have a special relationship, so I hope you wake up soon and back off!"

"Who would you dare tell me to back off?"

"It's up to you to choose a broken heart, which obviously I've warned you to back off. My relationship with Zayan has improved, which means we will be back in love. You should have known yourself, let Zayan go for me so we could be happy!"

"Funny, from earlier Mbak brings the word special relationship and continues to bring up your past. Look Ma'am, there's no special word for the past because if special it won't end in vain. Was Mbak not ashamed after leaving Mas Zayan and now comes with the belief that he will start from scratch?"

"You know what a child is? I'm talking about this kindly with you, you should as a fellow woman you understand my feelings! Is this what your parents taught you?"

Elnara was already completely fed up of hearing every shameless sentence spoken by Micah. Angrily Elnara doused Micah in the face and slapped the woman, causing restaurant-goers to stare at the two of them.

"The mother was educated, but dear very shameless. How dare you bring my parents! I should have asked, is this upbringing parents by making Mbak as an actor?"

"Shut up!" Micah stood up with a red face and prepared to respond to Elnara's treatment, but unfortunately the woman was less agile than Elnara.

"Don't you dare touch me with your dirty hands! Little did Mbak touch me, I will make sure the reply that Mbak received was much more painful!"

Elnara violently threw Micah's hand, pushing the woman. Luckily Micah could hold himself back, otherwise Micah could have sat down shamefully.

"If Mbak asks me to step down and hand over my husband to Mbak it means I give up my self-esteem as well. If Mbak believes Mas Zayan still loves Mbak, then let him come alone to Mbak!"

After saying that Elnara immediately left the restaurant. Micah who became the center of attention immediately went accompanied by scorn from restaurant visitors. Micah manages to get a stamp as a shameless actor and a former who failed to move on.

Elnara herself was in a taxi that took her home. Elnara didn't cry, she just didn't expect to get a surprise like this. Elnara thought Micah was a good woman who would probably think mature. However, the truth is that Micah is nothing more than a woman caught in the shadows of the past.
