Married to a Big Boss
Palau

Bayu and Ica sleep with their backs to each other. This position is already often they do, but this time it feels different because they do it because they do not want to be close to each other, but have to sleep in the same bed. They are not children anymore who want to separate the bed just because of problems with a partner. It felt so awkward, but they were required to sleep in this position and awkwardness.

That Sunday there was no conversation between Bayu and Ica. Both are busy with their own business. Eat in different places, not in the dining room where the two of them used to eat together. Satay that Bayu bought for Ica he gave to Bi Ana, Ica felt unwilling to eat food given Bayu, somehow.

During the day after lunch in their respective kennels, Bayu immediately returned to work in his study, while Ica went from home to visit the children of the orphanage to comfort her. Ica also intends to go home late today, after all, he also drives his own car. So, there's nothing to be afraid of.

As usual, Ica found pleasure upon arriving at the parlour. Being in the parlor made him forget for a moment all his problems.

"Son Ica. If you've been given his sustenance, would you like a girl or a boy?" The mother of the orphanage interrupted when Ica was laughing at the cuteness of the children of the home. However, his happy laughter earlier so he forced. Because, this language is somewhat offensive to Ica, because it does not immediately remind Ica that she is still awake crown, but has been married.

"Haha, the mother can do that. Which one you love, deh, ma'am, Ica accept and Ica will love you wholeheartedly."

"But, if you have a child, you have to share your love between a child and a husband. Sometimes a husband likes to be jealous of his own children because the mother loves her child more than her husband. According to my experience, this is, hahaha."

The laughter Ica had forced, was now a fake laugh. Now, this language even reminds Bayu who does not love him. He should be moody if there's no orphanage here.

"Haha. If so, I think Ica has to learn a lot, nih, from Mother who already has a lot of experience."

"Wih. I'm ready as your mentor."

Ica's fake laughter disappears at the same time as the mother's disappearance to prepare for something else. Instantly, he returned to thinking, the problem remembered again even though he had managed to forget. His thoughts about such a Bayu reappeared.

"I think our loveless marriage has made progress, Mas. We live on one roof, we sleep on the same bed. We also often pray together, I greet your hands and you kiss my forehead. I also dared to kiss your cheek first. In fact, I was the first one to take your first kiss. I also don't need to cover my hair anymore with a hijab when I have you, even though I haven't done it in a while. I think we have become ordinary married men and women for doing so much, even though we are married for being betrothed and without love. I thought, since you suddenly hugged me tightly when you came home from the service and bought me some souvenirs, there was a concern and love there. However, am I wrong to think too much like that? After all, it was just a hug, nothing more." Ica struggled with her mind.

Ica feels like Bayu. He visited this home as his escape from a problem he faced. Ica has always been a coward. Never once did he feel he could solve the problem alone. Want to tell it with the mother who had been a friend confided in him, he was afraid to even open the disgrace of his household, as well as telling stories with others. Household issues? Sounds excessive. Can this marriage be called a home? Ica even considered lowly her household.

"Don't be a coward, Ica. You better go home, finish well with Mas Bayu. If there is nothing left to defend, please end," the angel side of Ica appears.

...----------------...

"Mas Bayu, let's eat, all talk," said Ica when picking up Bayu in the workroom.

Bayu actually had dinner, but he still followed the word Ica. After all, this is an Ica initiative to talk first, so it should be put to good use. Ica also bought satay for them to eat.

"So I went to the parlor. Children are the same all the staff send greetings to you, he said," Ica said as the two began eating the satay. Then Bayu answered his greetings and chose silence afterwards. Let Ica tell the story until it's over. As he pondered while working in his study earlier, he realized that he had not really listened to Ica's arguments. This time he decided to listen to Ica first until it was finished. Although he was a bit uncomfortable with the pronoun "me" to call himself which he had previously been accustomed to calling by his own name, "Ica".

"Certainly, the mother of the parlour seemed to tease me. He said if I want to be given the opportunity to choose, want a girl or boy. I just laughed at it" Ica said. Then he asked her to bribe the one again before continuing to tell stories.

Bayu began to understand how the storyline that Ica would tell. He was already preparing for the severed possibility that would occur as Ica continued her story.

"You don't know, Mom, what's even more strange? The mother of the home said that having a child must be sintered for her love between the child and husband. Sometimes a husband is jealous if the mother loves her child more than her own husband. It's weird, right? I can laugh because it is funny. After all, the orphanage does not know, anyway, how our relationship is. If you want to be jealous, your husband has no love for his mother at all. And again, how do you want to have children? Lah wong's own mother-to-be was never loved in the slightest by her husband. There is no love, there is nothing that leads to the child being born, right? Hahaha, that's so funny, Mom. In fact, the mother of the home is willing to be a mentor for me if you want to consult about it. Hahahahahaha, that's funny, right? I don't think the mother of the home will ever be my mentor, because the opportunity she said she would never come. In fact, Raisa's husband never turned away from his business partner. Though, I think, a legitimate wife has more chances to win her husband's heart. But, original.., very funny yes. What do you think, Mom?"

"What do you mean, Raisa?" The mother stopped chewing her food. Suddenly his appetite was gone after hearing Ica tell a story in such a satirical tone.

Ica did not answer. He even focused on spending satay padang which is his favorite food. He was also hungry and exhausted after interacting with the children.

"What kind of joke are you telling me?" Now Bayu raised his tone, because it looks Ica did not respond seriously. In fact, Ica himself asked Bayu's opinion earlier.

"Mas..., let's end this marriage, how? I can't make you fall in love with me, so why is this marriage continuing?"
