My Love My Pain
Otherness

Almost a month Airin and Arja got married. To date, no problems and big things have happened. Although sometimes Airin said he wanted to meet the Arja family. With care, Arja always persuades Airin and makes Airin forget what he wants.

"Tonight we will go to an event. You have to come" Arja told Airin, who had just made her coffee.

"Why suddenly. I haven't even prepared anything."

"Darling, you're still pretty in my eyes."

Airin only gave a smile. In this house, Airin always felt alone. How not, Arja only has time during the afternoon until night. From morning until noon, Arja was in the office.

When Arja wants to take him out. Airin was happy. He felt that Arja would take him to another place. Even though it was just a show, Airin was already happy.

"Why are you daydreaming?"

"No. I'll get ready first, you'll have coffee."

After a long time in the room. Finally Airin came out as well, he was already wearing a decent shirt. With a thin make-up on her face.

"Why are you dressing up so pretty?" ask Arja who is fascinated because of Airin.

"I don't want to embarrass you there."

"I'm going to change clothes. Then we'll leave."

Airin nodded. She thought her husband was ready to go. Apparently not yet, Airin decided to read the magazine while waiting for Arja to prepare.

Arrive at the reception. Many couples came. They wear fancy clothes very elegantly. Meanwhile, in the car. Airin refused several times to get out of the car.

"What's wrong? don't you have to go down."

Airin held Arja's hand, "Arja. I'm ashamed, they're so graceful and elegant. While I'm." Airin lowered his face.

Gently Arja's hand raised Airin's face. Their eyes meet, cup. A kiss landed on Airin's lips.

"You just calm down. There I am, I will not leave you."

"really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Embarrassingly. Airin took her husband's hand. Arriving inside, Airin again stunned. He saw this reception event was very luxurious and beautiful. Airin never imagined that he would come to a place like this.

"Hi, is she your wife?" ask a bald-headed man.

In shock, Airin took a step back from beside Arja.

"Is she your wife?" ask again with a smile.

"Yes. Beautiful isn't?" replied Arja arrogantly. This time, Airin saw the other side of her husband.

"I'm Olan. Nice to meet you." Olan extended his hand.

Airin looked at Arja. He didn't know whether or not to accept the hand. Finally, it was Arja who received the hand.

"Don't touch my woman."

Olan laughed along with the friend who was beside him.

"You always say this when you're with women."

Hearing what Olan said made Airin think. It wasn't just him beside Arja. There may be other women as well. Only, Airin chose to be quiet.

****

Many of Arja's friends were making fun of Arja. Obviously, Arja does have another woman. Although only a friend, Airin still feel jealous. They say that Arja has always protected her female friends.

"Why are you quiet?" ask Arja while in the car.

"No."

"Do you consider their words right?" ask Arja to Airin.

Airin chose silence. He chose to look out the windshield of the car. If he said believe it, Arja would probably give another reason. Better to be quiet.

Slowly Arja's hand clasped Airin's. Arja knows, if this beautiful wife is angry. Arja does have a lot of girlfriends, it's just. His wife is different from other women. True what Sela said, Airin is an ordinary and innocent woman.
