My Love My Pain
Piqued

As always. Airin woke up from his sleep. This time something was different. A hand is coiled around Airin's waist. Airin sees Arja still asleep. There was no way he would wake her this early.

Slowly Airin released Arja's embrace. He decided to take a shower and get ready to clean the house. Airin also had to prepare breakfast for her husband.

While Arja is still asleep. Airin has finished cleaning the house. Until now, Airin sometimes asked himself. Actually, who and what kind of person he married. In fact, the words of Arja's friends still ring in his ears.

"Why are you daydreaming so early?"

Airin turned his head and looked at Arja who was neat with her shirt suit.

"I'm not daydreaming. Let's have breakfast, I've made your favorite fried rice."

"Thank you" said Arja, wrapping her hands around Airin's waist.

Patently. Airin took fried rice with beef-eye eggs as a side dish. During the marriage, Arja did choose to cover up her problems from Airin.

"Are you gonna be late?" ask Airin gently.

"Eitherway. I'll let you know later."

They continued their breakfast quietly. No words or talk happened after that.

As always. Airin escorted Arja out of the house and brought her bag. Arja also always kissed Airin's forehead when going to work.

The atmosphere of the mall today is quite crowded. If you think about it, it's Saturday. So, many people also brought their families here. Even if it's just for a walk.

Airin looks to be taking some vegetable ingredients. He also took a few pieces of meat for home. Everything he did himself, but Arja could have asked some people to be servants in his house. Only, Arja still does not want Airin accompanied by anyone.

"Watery."

The scream of someone made Airin twist his body. A woman ran towards Airin. She immediately hugged Airin so close to her.

"I miss you so much" Sela said as she hugged Airin.

Airin tried to release the bullet.

"You never came to my house" said Airin.

Sela stomped her feet, "Where might I go to your house. There's Arja, I'm ashamed."

"Shame for what? he's your brother too."

"It's a reason for itself." Sela chose to follow the steps of Airin who was busy choosing groceries.

"You're here yourself? aren't you supposed to be working?" tany Airin's.

"I'm on my lunch break with a friend."

"Where is your friend?" airin's question sounded probing.

"You're still the same. My friend has left me."

"Why?"

"Of course."

After feeling that everything is enough. Airin walked towards the cashier. Followed by Sela behind him. Since then, Sela has been staring at the phone screen more often. He accidentally hit Airin standing in front of him.

"Sela. Why are you still here? you better get back to the office."

"I know that."

Airin came out with quite a lot of luggage. He didn't bring his own car because he couldn't. Arja also did not prepare a driver for him. Airin does everything independently.

***

On road. Airin accidentally sees Arja with a woman. They look familiar, even very familiar. They joined hands in public.

Curious about what I saw. Airin followed them. Arriving at a place that is quite crowded, Airin lost track of Arja.

"Maybe he's right Arja. Did I see wrong" said Airin.

The shopping was so heavy that Airin decided to stop a taxi. Fortunately, not long before a taxi approached. Airin can go home without wasting time.

Airin is still trying to debunk Arja. He assures himself that Arja is a loyal man. He is currently working.

"Miss, it's here."

"Thank you, sir."

Airin down. The driver helped bring all the things down. When finalized. Airin gave money to the taxi driver.

"No change, Non."

"Take it, sir."

When finalized. Airin put those things into the house. He also put it in the refrigerator and cupboard. Even so, his mind was still fixed on Arja.

Ting. A message went into Airin's old-fashioned phone.

I'm gonna be home late. Just prepare the cooking after I get home.

Airin stared at the phone screen. A message back in.

I love you.

Reading the last message from Arja made Airin smile. This time Airin was sure that what she saw was not her husband Arja. Only people who look alike.

***

The night is very late. Airin had not even eaten because she was waiting for her husband to come. She felt bad about leaving her husband.

Ting tong ting. Airin was happy to open the door. Hoping if Arja comes and hugs her right away.

"You're su...."

"Let me in."

It's not just Arja. There was also a woman. She was wearing sexy clothes with her hair down. Her lips look thick with a bright red lipstick.

After making tea. Airin asks Arja to go inside the room and leave the woman for a while.

"Who is he?" ask Airin. There was a jealous tone in his tone.

"Why? I'll talk to him first. You can rest if you're tired" Arja said and walked out.

Arja didn't explain anything to Airin. Out of annoyance. Airin chose to lock the room door. At least, tonight Arja will sleep in another room if not on the sofa.
