My wife's a fraud
Terrified
Gita enjoys her time without Arki at home. He eats more, lives more relaxed and most importantly sleeps more soundly.
No more wild guerrilla hands in his body every night, or waking up with a half-naked body. Gita enjoys her short time with joy. Although his heart was so worried when it was time for Arki to come home.
When Arki returns from his business trip, he must be ready to give up his honor to avoid being reported to the police. After that his whole body will be a daily meal of Arki to satisfy him.
Gita shuddered in horror at imagining her own fate later. Hopefully there is a miracle, so that Arki extends his business trip in Bandung. Gita is completely unprepared for her first night.
“I think I should take overtime again, Tam. My work is not done yet,” said Gita told her direct supervisor.
“Quiet, Git. I have a lot of work too. Kayakaya overtime again today,” continued Mila.
“Good! I have the theme, not alone,” added Femy.
“You don't want girls? Brother ready to deliver to their respective homes.” Tama offered cheerfully.
“No! Go home there! Ogah delivered by playboy like you!” mila said.
“I'm not a playboy, have my own standards for being a girlfriend. So close to all girls to be selected,” said Tama defending himself.
After taunting each other with Mila, Tama finally went home first. One by one the other co-workers also moved on. The three of them are still busy with their computers.
At 18:30 they took a break and ordered dinner through an online ojek. They ate and chatted in the pantry while exchanging the hottest gossip in the office.
Gita is happy with her current co-worker. They are more friendly and involve them a lot in the friendship environment.
“Eh Git, you will be picked up again with Arki not?” said Femy. It seems like Femy knew Arki because a few days ago he came and went into the office.
“Ngak. He's out of town again.”
“Arkey? I think I've been horrified, where is it.” Mila's connecting the conversation.
“Suami Gita.” said Femy replied. He then lowered his voice and whispered. “I can not, Git?”
Gita looked confused, but finally nodded.
“Your husband is Mr. Usman, right? He's Arki's ex-Luna PM's son, huh?”
Gita hesitated to answer. He did not want his personal problems to be the consumption of the people in the office. But it seems like a long-time co-worker here knows Luna and the rumors about her failed marriage. Until now Gita never knew the cause of Arki and Luna separated. No one ever talked about it in his old office.
“Iya,” replied Gita finally.
He wanted to exchange news with his coworkers. If Gita admits Arki is Luna's ex, chances are she'll get information about their past relationship.
“Hah?” exclaim Mila shocked. “Truly, Git?”
“Kok you guys like that surprised? What's the matter with them and office people on knowing his ex Luna?” gita said fishing.
Mila exchanged glances with Femy. They are afraid if they have to say the old scandal that had horrendous one office.
“Say aja times. I knew they were ex-fiancees, but the breakup was long ago. More than a year ago.” The Gita gives them space to talk.
Femy cleared his throat awkwardly. “So you don't know Arki same Luna broke up because what?”
Gita shakes. “In the old office there is no gossip anything anyway. Just heard that Arki's girl cheated on me. But I've never had it either, it's the past.”
“You used to be an office?”
“Formerly my boss.”
“So you never have the same Arki, even though he knows his ex works with you now?”
Gita shakes. He never wanted to delve into Arki's past, initially. It's just that the disturbing feeling that appeared suddenly yesterday, when he saw Arki so softly staring at Luna, made Gita ignited curiously.
“So there was a rumor about Luna who deketin his own work, his name Hadi has now resigned. Hadi is actually Luna's direct superior, already Assistant Manager. At first, the rumors are common because they are often together. Overtime, go home together, eat together. Like a co-worker in general. Moreover, Hadi already has a wife, so all think, there is no way they have to play. She also has a fiancee. They often bring him too. Eh not long from the rumor, Luna rumored to fail marriage. Even worse, a few weeks later there was a video of Luna Sama Hadi playing bed scattered in the office.” Mila told me a passionate story.
“Other rumors also emerged, which spread the video of her former fiance Luna. I had heard Mr. Usman warned and angry Luna do not mess with the fiancee, when rumors about his closeness with Hadi just spread,” added Femy.
...****************...
Gita comes home last between Femy and Mila. His mind is distracted by new facts about Arki and Luna. Obviously everything that his co-worker said Arki could do. Disseminate personal information that is unknown to others to the public.
Arki has the power and money to do it. Just like he did with Gita. Threatening to get what he wants. If the wrong action, it could be Gita who will experience the same thing as Luna.
Luna warns him to run away from Arki. Unfortunately, Gita is already trapped into Arki's life. Now Gita is getting scared to face her husband later. Arki can do anything to ruin his life, if Gita goes wrong.
The elevator door clinks open, Luna and a female co-worker enter. He stared at Gita. However, Gita looked at him with pity. Surely Luna suffered a lot and was stressed because her personal video just spread. Make him the target of other people's ridicule.
Although in the end Luna got back up and kept working as usual. He used to say that Arki almost drove him crazy.
The pity then evaporated quickly as Gita looked at the reflection of Luna's reflection in the elevator mirror. Despite doing bad things to Luna and breaking off her old relationship, Arki still looks at Luna with love.
Wh why?
Gita doesn't like it.
...****************...
This morning Gita woke up with a heavy head, her body feverish, to be unable to stand due to dizziness. Last night after coming home late at 11pm, he soaked and fell asleep in the bathtub until 1am.
He kept thinking about his fate that would end up pitiful like Luna all night. Crying regretting the stupidity of deceiving Arki, to the point of falling asleep on his own.
Usually Arki will call and bang on the bathroom door, when Gita shut himself up. But yesterday there was no one to build it, until he woke up with a body shivering with cold. Bathtubs filled with warm water cool down quickly.
“Pak Usman called me earlier, saying you didn't sign today. Where are you?” ask Arki on the phone.
“I'm not feeling well, have a fever,” said Gita in a hoarse and weak voice.
“Hah? How can? Don't-don't you take a long shower yesterday again, right?” accuse Arki.
“I overslept while soaking,” says Gita honestly. Now he's more afraid of lying to Arki. Better to tell the truth then be scolded.
“You never heard me say anything! I told you not to take a shower at night while soaking up that kayak! Now it hurts. I'll eat through gofood. Cepetan take medicine!”
Arki kept blabbing on the phone scolding Gita, making her ears buzz hot. His head became increasingly sore and dizzy. In the end he just let it sit until Gita sleeps again.
Gita never stops imagining Arki punishing her, beating her, raping her, and leaving her on the street. Gita gets scared and keeps crying, but Arki doesn't come back. Everyone looked at him with disdain. Gita is alone and abandoned.
Cold hands touched Gita's forehead, making her shocked to the point of waking up. His eyes immediately stared at the figure sitting beside the bed. His head immediately throbbed violently from the pain. Gita fell back to bed.
“You haven't eaten since morning? Not taking medication? I ordered some food but still hung on the door. You also don't pick up my phone. You make me panic know, don't you?” namel Arki. He was upset but could not yell at Gita back then, as the woman looked weak.
Hearing that Gita immediately sobbed and cried. “Don't get mad at me, my head hurts,” whine.
Arki grabbed Gita's body until he sat down, then hugged her. He could feel the Gita's body temperature rising, more than usual.
“I'm not angry. Just worried. Let's eat porridge first, let's quickly take medicine.”
Arki's phone on the bed he had just thrown carelessly when it arrived, lit up not to stop. Surely the people from the branch office were confused because Arki disappeared after lunch and did not attend the closing event.
She was too panicked and worried because Gita did not pick up her phone again, after this morning being connected. Moreover, the driver who delivered the food said no house person took his order.
For the rest of his days in Bandung, Arki could not concentrate. He came home when his work was done at lunch. Driving without thinking about safety. Though the distance of Bandung-Jakarta is quite far and draining energy.
Gita is truly the most troublesome woman who grabs her attention.
