Mrs. Crazy And Mr. Perfects
CHAPTER 16| DENIAL

“Jealous? He must be crazy!” Selena sizzled, glaring an annoyed look at Ocean who was buying ice cream in a shop. “See that, is she an artist? Why so many people pay attention to it—ah ..”

Selena was pensive for a while, her eyes twitching in a slow tempo while watching the Ocean ahead. The shirt rolled up to the elbow, slightly messy hair, and the towering posture that made it look striking there. Of course all the gazes will be on him. Even since college, as short as Selena's memory, Ocean was too domineering. He seemed to give off a special aura that made everyone feel at home looking at him.

That's also one of the reasons Selena likes him first. Wait .... Selena laughed insipidly because of her own thoughts, repeatedly drowsy her head into the windshield.

“That's you, Ocean. Stop by there, don't swirl in my head!”

The sound of the car door being opened made Selena's stupid behavior stop. He immediately pretended to be observing the noise of the streets.

“What else now? You're fighting for power with the windshield?” Ocean sighed, handing the cone-shaped ice cream to Selena.

Selena replied with a rude snort. “Why? You think I'll lose if you fight for power with your car glass?”

“Makeup you stick all her there. I just washed this car.”

Really fucking. Selena nearly destroyed the ice cream cone before she was finally able to control herself. He threw away his face, ate his ice cream while sneering silently.

“With you eating that ice cream, I assume we have agreed to make up.” Ocean turned his head, smiling infuriatingly.

“Then I'll spit out the ice cream here.” Selena grunts.

“Later tonight your family and my family will have dinner at our house, Selena. You want to show them that this marriage is sad?”

Our home. Selena rubbed her forehead as if there was sweat there, misbehaving. Oh, no, no. She could be happy because of those stupid words. In Selena's heart tidied the most handsome sentence ‘Felix. Felix is the best. I just love Felix’ over and over again, trying to convince myself that she can't possibly fall back on Ocean's damn charm.

“I consider your silence as a sign of agreement.” Ocean smiled in anguish. "As a form of apology, I will also help you prepare dinner necessities. Cooking, cleaning the house."

Ah, Selena almost forgot that household assignment. While at Felix's apartment, she really lived like a queen. Felix has provided everything for him, even about cleaning some houses, there are already people in charge of doing it. Ocean is like a demon king. Under the pretext of cost savings he tortured Selena in such a way.

“I'm afraid you might as well use your acting skills, Selena. We should probably do some friendly scenes—”

“Uhuk!” Selena choked on the ice cream she was eating, coughing.

Ocean immediately gave him the mineral water, which Selena immediately grabbed. His throat hurts. Selena took a sip of the water while occasionally glancing at Ocean who also seemed to be uncomfortable with this conversation.

“Before that, should we choose each call? Like for honey? Or dar—”

Selena spouted the water she was drinking, unable to hear Ocean's words about nicknames. For a second, Selena's eyes widened. He gulped down the hard-earned saliva.

“O-Ocean ..?”

The one called out now closed his eyes. His hair, face, and clothes were wet, exposed to a torrent of water.

Selena immediately gave a glance. Looks like he'll have to get away before he dies silly in the car.

...****...

Selena grumbled in return, moving her mop violently. “You don't want to register as president, Ocean? Maybe you're just satisfied if you can order the whole people. Basic handyman reigns!”

Ocean laughed a little, resumed his activity wiping the window glass. Selena's annoyed face really became her own entertainment. And look at that, as Selena showed her annoyance by jerking her legs, ending with her exclaiming in pain as her feet hit the table, Ocean laughed crisply while shaking her head in concern.

Is Ocean grateful that Selena's back at her house? Sure oes. His half-hearted marriage promise made Ocean feel responsible for Selena's life. Accept all flaws, protect each other, respect each other, care for each other, support each other ... Ocean tried to do it, as a payment because ‘s loved each other’ could not they do.

Selena's position as ‘ Prisoner’ Galang so that Robin does not misbehave the company, or try to string up a foul scenario when her company's finances have improved, also brings guilt in Ocean's heart. The sacred bond that was supposed to be done wholeheartedly, became tarnished due to his father's greed. Selena may already have her own dream with Felix, piecing together the future. But everything is ruined because of this business marriage.

“You turned out to be this short, huh?”

The bearded Selena was startled as Ocean's voice rang out from behind her. The movement of his hand that was cleaning the upper bookshelf came to a halt. He turned back, finding Ocean who was standing too close to him.

Selena cleared her throat, taking a step back nervously. “You asked to be hit?”

“Give me, Selena. Let me do it. Too bad I saw it, your neck is like it's gonna break.”

Not yet had Selena's mind go anywhere, Ocean had slammed it into a steep rock. Selena snorted, threw a lap recklessly, then stepped away. But right then, he felt his face heat up as if the lightening of the room was not working.

“Ah, fuck. Why is the weather so hot today? Haha .... He also why is close, so more engap, ‘kan.” Selena twitched awkwardly on the sofa, occasionally stealing glances at Ocean who was busy wiping the bookshelves.

It turns out that's not the only thing that makes “air hotter”. While mixing the flour as a wet batter of fried chicken, Selena once again gasped as Ocean tidied up her cross-sectional haircut, justifying her messy hair ties.

“Be quiet, Selena.” So Ocean said as Selena was about to escape.

For God's sake, Selena froze like a fool. Ocean's gentle movements made his heart like it was splattered on the floor. Don't ask about Selena's face, it's obviously like a boiled crab, rotten tomato, or something. Even this time, Selena was unable to chalk out the most handsome sentence of ‘Felix. Felix is the best. I just love Felix’, though only in my heart. He's like stuck somewhere that doesn't have an exit.

Today, Ocean is really dangerous.

...****...

Lilian and Adira looked at each other when the doorbell of Ocean's house did not welcome, no one came out to open the door. Two besan “sejen” it, trying to contact their respective children, just to hear the tone of the long connection endless.

Dinner held today is threatened to fail if it turns out Ocean and Selena are not at home.

Five minutes no sign of the door will open, Adira pressed the series of numbers on the digital lock door, the door opened instantly after a short sound was heard.

Adira and Lilian, followed by their husbands Galang and Robin, stepped into the dim house, as only one or two of the lights were turned on.

Arriving in the lounge, Adira raised her hand, coded the other three to slow down their voices and footsteps.

Look, on the long sofa of the lounge room, Ocean and Selena were asleep with aprons still clinging to their clothes, exhausted.

What made Adira and Lilian smile instantly was their sleeping position. Selena seemed comfortable sleeping on Ocean's outstretched arm, and Ocean wrapped her free arm around Selena's waist.
