My wife's a fraud
Job Interview

Gita smeared a lipstick on her lips, a shade coral that best matched her skin color. Gita has been paying more attention to her appearance lately. He wears skincare regularly, takes care of his hair, and also often linger in bathtubs to cleanse the body and make it fragrant.

Obviously, now Gita has an excess budget to buy all the care without thinking about what tomorrow should eat and how to pay the debt.

Once again Gita smoothed her appearance in front of the mirror, navy shirt, black knee-length sponge skirt, neatly tied hair, and 5 cm high heels complete her appearance. Before exiting the room, Gita also wears perfume with citrus fragrance fresh from byredo.

Breakfast was available at the dinner table, even there before Gita polished himself. Arki had eaten first, sitting in the kitchen alone. She then saw the neatly groomed Gita sitting in her front seat, scooping food for herself.

“Where are you going? How neat is it early in the morning?” tanya Arki looks confused to see the appearance of his wife who suddenly looks formal in the morning like this. Usually Gita still uses her clothes.

“I want a job interview today. There was a call from the cosmetics company,” reply Gita looks happy.

“Interview work? How come you don't tell me?” Arki furrowed his brows, looking at Gita with a look of annoyance and dislike.

Again. For the second time Gita never told him anything. Yesterday about her pregnancy checkup she didn't know about. Now, he's a job interview without even discussing it with him or telling him the news beforehand.

Gita looks surprised at Arki's question. He completely forgot to tell her last night. The phone call from the recruiter came in the afternoon. Yesterday Arki came home late because of overtime and they did not have time to talk until morning.

“I forgot ..” said Gita awkwardly.

Arki sighed. “Make things like this you forgot? You didn't discuss with me about work after marriage? I'm your husband, Git!” arki was upset.

Gita could feel anger in Arki's tone. “Emang you can't let me work?” attack Gita.

“You're pregnant again, Git.”

“Keep out why if I'm pregnant? I'm just pregnant not disabled. Did I become incompetent in my job? So it can't be anything, so?”

“You should think of the baby in your stomach. How about if until the work weariness continues later why-why the same baby?”

“Ki, girls who work right again pregnant tuh much. I don't get morning sickness every day which makes me not strong. I can still work. Many other girls can also.”

“Yes I do not care whether other girls want to be able or can not work fit again pregnant. I'm talking about you again. My own wife.” Arki started to get emotional, he spoke with heightened intonation.

“So you want to batesin my wiggle room because I'm your wife, is that it? Since I'm pregnant, you want me to keep on being put on the brakes at home, so?”

Gita. He knew there was no future in their relationship. As good as Arki is to her, Gita has not been able to let go of her hatred and fear towards the man who once abused her. Gita also knows that Arki must still be playing the woman behind him. Why would she maintain this sickening feigned marriage?

Getting a job when the economic situation is good and the plan goes smoothly like now is a step forward. Gita will still have a job when she has to let go of this and get divorced from Arki.

“I want to work, Ki. Why are you always against my choices? Why don't you give me freedom?”

Arki's turn is now silent. Freedom? What a sickening word. That word was also used by Luna to be the reason for the breakdown of their relationship. Arki never felt like he was limiting the space in motion to them. He would give Luna and Gita anything, why would they choose to always walk alone without his control?

“Freedom? You married me, Git. Inevitably, you must accept that I am your husband. All decisions in your life, should be discussed first with me. Can not arbitrarily decide kayak gini.”

Gita is shocked by Arki's words. Until now he still feels he does not have any ties with Arki, especially because all things in this marriage are his creation. Her husband? It's amazingly absurd. So Gita has to give up all her life decisions to this man before her?

“So you don't want me to work, Ki?” Gita stared fixedly at Arki's eyes. He did not want to lose to this man. No one can control it or ban it.

Arki let out his breath violently, massaging his forehead and thinking. She doesn't really matter if Gita wants to work. The thing that makes him emotional and oppose him because he feels his ego hurt, when Gita does not discuss anything about his decision to work. As if he was not an important part of his life. Now Arki is her husband, who holds power over the Gita.

“I let you work with some requirements. Can not be overtime or go home at night, your working hours can not be longer than me, if until there is a problem with your content immediately resign, there can be no office work brought home, if there is a problem with your work, and I anterin you work every day.”

The requirements of the Arki are actually not too heavy. But somehow the Gita doesn't like the way Arki manages it. He acted like his boss. Cover behind the word husband to make him have to follow it.

“OK. I agree,” said Gita finally, although she was still reluctant and objected. But Gita must get a job before getting divorced with the male handyman set this up. “Lagian now I'm still in the job interview stage, not necessarily accepted with them,” grumbled Gita.

They continued their breakfast in silence. Feelings of annoyance gathered in each other's hearts. Actually want to attack each other and defend their beliefs. Arki disagrees with the Gita working while pregnant. Gita disagrees with Arki who feels entitled to regulate it.

This marriage was not what Gita had imagined. This is the second time that Arki has tried to impose his views on the Gita. Though all this time he thought, Arki is a gentle man who is understanding. It really isn't. It is true that there are parts where Arki is very attentive and willing to lower his ego so that they do not continue to argue, but do not close the fact that the man really likes to manage.

“I anterin you to his interview place now,” said Arki who started moving from the dining table.

The Gita has no choice but to follow her will. He also has a lot of patience and understanding with all the surprising behavior of Arki. It won't be long until she files for divorce from the man who turns out to be so annoying.
