Married to a Big Boss
Freer

Half a year has passed, the age of marriage Ica and Bayu is now seven months. After proposing the settlement of the Bayu version, Ica really did not do anything. These two people connected through marriage look like strangers living under one roof.

Formality such as eating at the dining table, or just chatting at home is no longer there. Even praying, if both are at home, they do it themselves. Ica felt not to be imitated Bayu, so every time the time comes, he always first perform prayers, both obligatory and sunnah. Of course, the activities of husband and wife such as hand salim and forehead kisses also disappear simultaneously.

Problem in the office, Ica and Bayu only carry out their profession with professionals. There is no mixing up household issues.

"Dirga, what's that news? Is your wife pregnant?" The question was asked by Raka, who heard the news from her friend, Andi.

"Alhamdulillah, Om, given his fast sustenance," said Dirga responded.

"Ma Allah, very fertile, yes. Only three months of marriage was pregnant," Manda's turn responded.

True, Dirga's marriage with his wife has been running for three months. Right after Ica and Bayu decide to fix their marriage, a week after Ica and Bayu finish talking about how to finish their near-ending marriage.

Attending Dirga's wedding is very difficult for Ica. Where he had to pretend to be happy and behave as Bayu's wife as usual, while his relationship with Bayu was still tenuous at that time. It is also a concern that Caca was also invited at Dirga's wedding, fortunately Bayu asked Dirga so that Caca was not invited. Not to mention there are some people who still belong to the family who boldly asked about pregnancy to Ica. Attending Dirga's wedding was a huge drain on Ica's energy and emotions.

Now Ica and Bayu are attending dinner together at the Surya Group residence, not two families anymore, but three families. Although not from among the family who owns the company, Dirga's wife turned out to be the daughter of a pair of doctors who can automatically break the rules about an heir should marry an heir as well. Dinner with three families is not the first time to do, because dinner together is routinely done every month, and every two weeks between the two families—antara Ica and Bayu families, and every two weeks between the two families, and between Dirga's family and his wife. However, this time it feels more suffocating Ica because the language is different. Where Ica must look happy over the pregnancy of the wife of the person, while she is not okay with her husband. Surely the people at this dinner table will be alluding to Ica's pregnancy as well.

They discussed the gestational age, then planned to conduct a study at the residence of two families as a form of gratitude. Ica did not join the conversation, she just kept quiet and lowered her head, trying to erase her existence so as not to be part of their chat.

"Raisa, the chat was not a burden. Now you just need to rest so that tomorrow you are fresh while working. You also get sick when you have too many thoughts. I don't want you to be sick" said Bayu who realized that Ica was still thinking about the topic. But Bayu was not aware, the connection with the chat was the end of their marriage. There's not much time to try. While Ica, she still did nothing. Perhaps his hatred of Bayu is still great, so that any attention Bayu gives is never appreciated by Ica.

Bayu has done as much effort as possible after proposing a solution to the problem. He had not asked Ica to buy him breakfast which meant to ease Ica's work. Bayu also did not force Ica to leave together to the office, because Ica always left first with her car. Bayu tried to give more attention than before, inviting Ica to chat first even though his words were often not responded to Ica. He must also accept and endure the pain of being treated like a stranger by Ica while at home. Trying to accept and keep trying to make Ica love him again in any way, even though Icanya instead reply coldly to all Bayu's efforts.

Bayu began to doubt the deadline. In less than half a year, if he doesn't succeed, he will have to hand over his decision to Ica about their marriage. In fact, he was close to the answer, about this pain feeling if ignored by Ica, especially if not love? However, getting Ica back to love him is not easy.

Bayu realizes Ica is in a state of unease. He pulled his blanket, and he lowered his blanket.

"Raisa, you haven't slept? Want to hear about my past and Caca's? Come to think of it, I haven't told you that yet. Even then, you only know that I still have a taste for Caca, but you don't know the reason behind it all."

"Udah night. I don't want to be horrified. Want to sleep now," Ica replied coldly. He has always answered coldly to Bayu ever since.

"I did tell you that you are free to do whatever you like as long as I struggle. But, to be honest, your free attitude is not just free, you don't even respect me. I accept if you don't want to respect me as your husband, but you don't respect me as a human being either."

"Don't say that if you are too. After we get married, do you also value me as a human being? All your attitude towards me, I have never felt valued as a human being. You deserve to get the payback." If you do not reply coldly, Ica always said like this, bringing up how Bayu treated her first. And of course, Bayu will not reply to that problem because he must understand Ica's disappointment even though he who used to be will loudly debate Ica's argument.

"Oh yeah, maybe you're tired. I don't want the maksa. If you have trouble sleeping, it doesn't matter if you want to deal with it your way. It could be that if I tell the past, you even more can not sleep," replied Bayu softly. Ica who had turned her back to Bayu in bed felt beside him Bayu also changed his sleeping position which was initially facing Ica's back, now turned to turn her back to Ica as well.
