My Little Bride
Episode 22

Brian woke up, it was still dark. The sun still did not even emit its rays, then he looked at the figure of the girl who was at the side.

"Sleeping style is very funny" Brian chuckles to see Nafiza who sleeps with her hands and feet lying very wide, even at the tip of her lips there is a little saliva. He did not feel uncomfortable, for him the form of weakness of Nafiza like anything he could accept it. "Maybe this is called bucin" he laughed at himself whose attitude was different from the old Brian, the more it felt like he loved Nafiza.

After being satisfied to see him Brian decided to take a shower because he had to work, his work in the office had piled up, he tried to get up from his position slowly, afraid that Nafiza would wake up because of his movements. He lifted Nafiza's hand on her stomach and lowered it slowly, then he tried to lower his leg down and stand up.

"Are you awake?" Nafiza looked at Brian while rubbing her eyes, accidentally touching her wet lips and rubbing them using the top shirt she was wearing.

"When I stood up slowly, you slept so well that your saliva stuck to my pillow and clothes, I could not bear to wake you up"

"What's? has he? my saliva sticks everywhere?" Nafiza took the pillow next to her and kissed her. "Uweeekkk stinks" Nafiza threw her pillow.

"Hahaha you are so funny" Brian sat next to Nafiza.

"Here, did your shirt drool?" Nafiza brought her face closer to Brian's chest, smelling unpleasant odors from her mouth. "Hehe smells a little, sorry yes" Nafiza smiled shyly.

"There's more, this was also your saliva last night, you should also check for odor or not" Brian pointed to his lips.

"Ih mode!!!" Nafiza pushed Brian's face. "Hurry shower there!" Brian replied with a laugh.

"Are you really feeling better and stronger about going to school?" brian asked, they were in the car, as Brian used to drive Nafiza to school.

"Yes, I'm healthy, did you see how much I eat?" smiling, holding his stomach.

"Then if you need something or feel unwell call me right away" 

"Ready boss" Nafiza replied as she opened her seatbelt. They arrived in front of the school gate. "I'm down ya" Nafiza peeked at Brian's movements so quickly.

"Yes as eager as he learned" Brian became stammered, his cheeks instantly becoming red. Nafiza opened the car door and got out of her car.

"Be careful of my husband" Nafiza closed the car door quickly and walked into the school gate. Brian peeked but his lips turned a smile.

"My husband? today he was so sweet" Brian looked at Nafiza's back to the point of being invisible, before long he took off his vehicle.

Nafiza entered the classroom, apparently Tita had arrived first sitting in her chair while reading a book.

"Hey tumben you come early" said Nafiza surprised Tita.

"You're healed? I'm just going to see you back from school" Tita replied.

"I'm well, Ta, yesterday was just a fever, what book did you read? that's serious"

"This is a book about new mathematical formulas, soon we'll have a test, I haven't mastered mathematics well" 

"I'm the same, what if we study together?" take Nafiza.

"Would that seem like fun, where? your house?" Tita is very enthusiastic.

"Yes in my house, yes" Nafiza and Tita were engrossed in talking, then someone patted Nafiza on the shoulder.

"Oh yeah I'm fine" replied Nafiza briefly.

"really?" Septa tried to examine Nafiza's forehead but Nafiza pushed her head away from Septa's hand.

"I'm really healthy Sep" Nafiza smiled forcedly.

"Thank God" seeing Nafiza's movements, Septa finally chose to immediately sit in his chair, which was right behind Nafiza, he stared intently at Nafiza's back and clenched his hands.

The bell for the school's return sign reads, Nafiza and Tita walk out of the classroom to the school gate. They walked down the hallway as usual but this time it was a little different, the atmosphere was crowded somehow the other students noticed Nafiza who was walking while whispering, they were also holding their mobile phones.

"Sounds like they're watching me Ta? is there something wrong with my appearance?" ask Nafiza.

"Your appearance is nothing wrong Fiz, we better just ask them directly what is actually the matter" Tita invited two other students. "Silvi why are you guys paying attention to Nafiza like that? is there a problem?" 

"Nafiza isn't this your husband?" Silvi gave her cell phone to Tita and Nafiza, how shocked Nafiza was to read the article.

"A WELL-KNOWN BUSINESSMAN WHO IS MARRIED HAS AN AFFAIR WITH HIS SECRETARY" 

In the article contains a photo of Brian holding Sabrina's shoulder, as well as a photo of Sabrina hugging Brian and walking into a hotel room located in Hong Kong. Nafiza was surprised it felt like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, her chest tightness also hurt.

"Are you okay, Fiz?" Tita was worried to see Nafiza who was silent earlier.

"Yes"

"Today we postpone learning with him, you better go home quickly" said Tita who then returned Silvi's phone and continued her journey to the school gate.

"I'm sure Brian isn't like that Fiz, you should talk to Brian" Tita tried to calm Nafiza down, she knew Nafiza was in shock.

"Yes Ta" again Nafiza answered him briefly. Shortly after, Tita's personal driver arrives.

"I'll wait until Mr. Ramli comes yes" 

"No need Ta, you go home there. I'm fine" Nafiza pushed Tita into her pickup car.

"Eh" 

"Here home" Nafiza opened Tita's car door.

"Let's call me yeah" Tita got in her car.

"Yes" Nafiza waved her hand at Tita who was gone with a pretentious smile then she walked over from the school gate. He just lowered his head, his tears dripping down on the ground, every once in a while he wiped them, the phone in his bag kept ringing.
