My husband General
CHAPTER 39

"I've confirmed our arrival to the award show. The show management will send an event rundown tomorrow. You don't mind, do you, if we walk on the red carpet?" nadia asked Chandra who was walking by her side.

Chandra turned his head towards Nadia and of course smiled with a nod of agreement. "No. Grandma must have been happy to see me on television for the first time" Chandra argued, imagining how her family's expressions, especially her grandmother and Joy, would have been so excited to see Chandra on television.

Nadia chuckled, anxious with the Chandra family, especially with grandma and Joy. Nadia clasped her arms to Chandra's, making Chandra stop her steps and look back at the tiny face for many times today.

At the end of a warm afternoon, Nadia looked back at Chandra.

"Today, I'm happy!" nadia said cheerfully, as is her habit if starting a conversation with Chandra.

"hum. Sorry, I can't take you out of the country for a honeymoon. Or walk to the mall like you want."

Nadia shook her head small. "You know what, don't you? Why am I happy, happier than going abroad or a luxury vacation?"

"Why?"

Nadia took a deep breath, and again looked at Chandra no less sweet than before. "Here, I feel like myself. I don't have to hide, be ashamed, fear, or worry people comment on whatever I do. I have you here."

Chandra smiled faintly and replied to Nadia by tightly embracing her little wife's shoulder with anxiety.

"What are you talking about, Nad?!"

"Aren't you at home here because you're disappointed we failed to get married?! Escapees, runaway,

'aren't you?!"

Chandra and Nadia who heard that unpleasant remark immediately turned to the source of the voice. On the porch of their house there is now a young man with a relaxed fashionable look that makes his radiance more clearly visible that he is not an ordinary citizen. She's a celebrity who's just been free of the law that's been ensnaring her for a few months.

The sun was setting, the sky was getting darker and Chandra's vision felt the same way. He felt dizzy, fed up and of course did not accept the arrival of the man he knew so well even though he had never met.

Nadia pressed her hand against her husband's arm, but Vidi, who was there, walked closer to her and Chandra. Smiling seemed to threaten the happiness of those who had just sprinkled little by little.

"I remember, Nad. How nice of you when we go to Prague. You like something fancy, romantic. Then, is it this easy you stay on Flores just to avoid comments, netizens?!"

Nadia gritted her teeth, her breathing irregular.

"6 years is not a short time for us, and it is not easy for you to marry a stranger like him!" point Vidi at Chandra.

"What do you mean, you?!" chandra began to get emotional, Nadia held her arm as Chandra was about to advance to face Vidi with her own strength.

"Vidi, enough!!" nadia shouted in disbelief. Vidi smiled cynically, but also her eyes could not lie that she was very sad to see Nadia could look happy with another man besides herself.

Chandra noticed that, especially Nadia who now looked shaky to be by his side. Nadia's grasp also loosened as Vidi shed tears before her. That's where Chandra knows, indeed he is still a true escape.

"What's enough, Nad?! I should have said that. Is there enough time for you to give up on me?! Is that enough, Nad?! Was it hard to wait when I was tested yesterday. Why, Nad?!" Vidi snapped, exploding with more and more clear circles down her cheeks.

Chandra retreated, he might be perfectly entitled to beat up Vidi but he felt it was nothing between the two people who were here. Chandra is only a figurine between two celebrities who are involved in a romance conflict. The promises of Nadia and all the sentences of the girl in a beautiful place may just be a cure for her miss on Vidi.

Nadia's body trembled, she could not speak anything but cry, her mouth tightly locked withstanding the sobbing she did not want to let out at all.

"Why did you marry another man?! We haven't broken up, Nadia. I'm still your girlfriend, I still wear our engagement ring. I still hold all our promises Nadia." Vidi's voice softened, but still the sentence sounded very painful.

Chandra took a deep breath. "Well, you get out of this place! Don't bother Nadia. It's night, there's gonna be a herd of boars and it's dangerous."

Chandra pushed Vidi's shoulder plan back and did not block her and Nadia's steps.

The man smiled wryly, mocking Chandra by putting on the most miserable look he had.

"Nadia, let's go in," Chandra asked by slowly pulling Nadia's body to climb on the porch of their house which was still dark, the lights had not been turned on because the occupants had just arrived just at the moment of magrib.

Vidi, who was standing with her body in place, stared in disbelief, clenching her hands tightly. "Heh don't you know, if Nadia has already given everything to me ...." Vidi did not continue his sentence, he waited for Chandra's reaction.

Nadia stopped her steps, gulping roughly. His heart stopped beating. Vidi really made him explode with a feeling of great guilt.

Chandra turned his head, Vidi smiling sideways at him. "I don't care what Nadia has given you. Because, Nadia belongs to me now. I can get anything from Nadia without having to think about what she has given others."

•••

Nadia tilted her body, staring at the wall that she had been attached with stickers of the stars to accompany her in the dark times like now. Nadia did not think that her day with Chandra who was so cheerful and happy had to be destroyed in a warm twilight like that.

Nadia continued to cry, in the middle of the darkness she had not eaten at all and did not leave the room. Nadia is too ashamed of herself, of Chandra and all of Vidi's words that make Nadia question her own loyalty.

Vidi may be wrong, but the fatal decision is precisely Nadia because it makes Chandra a victim of all this disgrace.

Vidi's sudden arrival, makes Nadia very afraid that she will be wracked with pity on the man. Poor with Vidi's struggle, pity also with their memories that must be buried in vain.

However, Nadia also has another man now, her husband. The one guarding her, who won her with a straightforward but gentle sentence, who dotted her with a boundless sense of stiffness, who set aside her time just to make Nadia able to enjoy the beauty without fear of the pursuit of the reporter, was, and it was Chandra who saved her from the nightmare of marriage failure.
