Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
58. We Divorce

Indra finally returned from ‘business trip’ on January 2, 2022.

“Sayang?” call Indra when she finally reaches their duplex apartment. “I’m home.”.

From the inside, Gemma walks to Indra with a big smile. “Welcome, Mas,” he said while kissing the cheek of the husband. “I miss you.

“I miss you too,” Indra stroked Gemma's cheek and kissed her. “I'm hungry, Honey.”

“Mandi used to be,” said Gemma to her husband, take her briefcase and put it on his work desk on the 2nd floor. “I've prepared your favorite food.”

After bathing, Indra put on her house clothes. He looked at himself in the mirror wearing a cologne and deodorant. He put down the cologne and gasped as a pair of hands suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Darling? How to hug?”

“You didn't miss me?” ask Gemma with pampering.

Indra turned around and pinched his wife's nose with anxiety. “Of course I miss, didn't I tell you earlier?”

Gemma smiled mysteriously, before commenting. “Darling, your skin is getting darker. You're out of the beach?”

Reflex senses are staring at her skin which is indeed more tanned now. “Ah.. Yes. Mumpung near Jogja, we went there with the Semarang team.”

“But what is your business trip to take a year-end vacation, Mas?”

Indra's forehead was immediately moist and he stuttered. “Eng.. i-it..”.

“You must be busy huh? Sorry I finished your credit card limit.”

“Ooohh. No... No pa-pa!”

Gemma's forehead frowned at Indra's unusual attitude. “You sure?”

“Ya-yep! Later I transfer again to your account for monthly money this month.”

“Mmm... Udah payday ya Mas?”

“Udah dated 28 yesterday..”.

Gemma then floated her fingers, down the firm skin of the husband from front to back.

The senses are so sexy, athletic and so macho. His hard and full muscles always tempt the faith of the women who see. Gemma actually knows that her husband is loved by many women.

Just as Gemma's finger descended on the center of her husband's body and touched it gently, Indra bellowed in the wife's ear. “Hhmm... You invite me to play, Darling?” whisper with sensual.

"No ah. Fuck it," Gemma then stopped the action. He cursed himself who was a little tempted. A few weeks Indra didn't touch him, making him feel worthless. But then he reminded himself. Why else flirt with Indra who is clearly a former person!

The masculine scent of Indra tickled his kiss. In the past, he liked it, but now, his stomach seemed to be stirred with a mixer.

She intends to respond to Indra, but urung when she sees a rash on her husband's lips. “That's your lips why, Mas?”

Indra palpated a rash that looks to have two mounds there. “Wah, acne emang stone. There are two anyway! Will hurt niih.”

“But still handsome really, Mas!”

Indra laughed, stroked the top of his wife's head and took her to the dinner table. They had a warm dinner with nothing to go by.

But the more here, Indra became more agitated. According to him, Gemma was acting strangely. While Indra was watching him with a complicated expression, another case with Gemma who was relaxed, but deep down, he was trying to hold back.

Dinner was over, Indra put all the dirty cutlery into the kitchen sink. The man went to the living room and watched television.

***

Half an hour later, so dissolved in the news that is going viral, Indra until not aware that Gemma is finished and has disappeared from the kitchen.

“Sayang?” call him to his wife. No answer, Indra opened the sliding door and found the balcony there empty. “Honey, where are you?”

Gemma who heard that, looked down from the second floor. The woman breathed heavily. “I'm here."

Indra went upstairs to meet his wife. Kissing the strange gurgle of Gemma, Indra stopped in front of her, looking at her with a complicated expression.

“Hai..” greet Indra. “Are you okay?”

“What do you think, Mas?” ask Gemma calmly.

His abnormal gaze made Indra shudder. If Indra can be honest, she would rather see Gemma scratching and wrathing so emotionally as when she got the message from Ranita first.

With Gemma silent like this, the entire apartment seemed more horror.

“You sick?” ask Indra.

“We need to talk.”

Slowly, Indra approached Gemma who was sitting on the sofa, she took a position to sit on a single sofa.

“I'm tired, Mas.. Dibohongin continue to be with you.”

“Lying how?” indra asked, trying to find out what Gemma saw in the message Ranita had sent her.

“You promised not to cheat. But in fact, it's just your sweet mouth, right?”

“Where did you conclude that I cheated again?”

Gemma smiled. “From the message Ranita sent via your phone.”

The deg!

Because of his nervousness, Indra could clearly hear his racing heartbeat and make his body tremble a little. He was well aware that his lie was now fully exposed.

“Kok you so nudu Ranita?”

“I don't care who the real woman is, Mas. The closest you are to him is him. The photo shows everything. Why don't you just say it?!” snapped Gemma who could not stand it.

“You can be honest from the beginning, Mom! Don't add sin by covering up lies over lies!”

Gemma stood in front of Indra, grabbing the briefcase that Indra carried with her wherever she went, and took out a small object that had run out of power and threw it on the coffee table in front of them.

GPS tracker Gemma's best friend, an inanimate object that witnesses the affair. He was mute, yet he heard. He's without a brain, but he can remember.

Indra's face paled. He was eager to swallow his saliva but his throat was so choked. “Ka-you? So all this time, you..”.

“Ya... Mas. My decision is unanimous, my. We're divorced.”

Indra immediately came to Gemma, kneeling and clasping her hands pleading. “No-no please. Baby, I can't separate from you. I love you. Please, Gem... Please!”

“You can say that in court as the reason why you don't want to be separated from me. And I'm sure that the one who thinks that you are a crocodile, is not just me!”

Gemma knocked down Indra's hand which knelt silently and remained in her position. Actually Gemma really wanted to show the video all on Indra. But he chose to keep it and take it out at the right time later.

...***...

“Gemma..”.

Gemma's eyes suddenly opened when she heard a man calling her. The man's groaning was so bitter, it made Gemma so unbearable. He got out of his bed in the guest room and went to the main room, which was supposed to be his room with Indra.

As soon as he opened the room door, the first thing he got was a moving mound of blankets.

“Gem... Darling..” call Indra with hoarse voice. “I'm not feeling well, dear.”

His feet just stepped closer to Indra and opened the blanket. He found his husband shivering in the cold.

“38.9. This is very high.” Immediately, Gemma took warm water and hot medicine. He helped Indra sit down and administered the heat-lowering drug to her.

“Thank my wife. Stay, please. It's not good to be alone here. Don't stay with me tonight."

Seeing Indra so helpless, Gemma's heart melted. She nodded and lay down next to her husband. Make sure the husband closed his eyes before he finally fell asleep.

"I can't live without you, Gemma."

Tai's!
