Reaching Surgaku
Appointment

After their meeting at the cafe, el is now in the apartment and sitting relaxed in the family room. El sat on the sofa in the living room and asked Alma to come sit, now the two sat next to each other with a distance that is not too far away.

Positions like this make it difficult for alma to concentrate because she was too nervous considering they were never in the same space as sitting next to each other as now in addition to asking for alma to sit next to her when there was no second family there, could it be that her husband had started to open his heart to alma.

Alma who tried to calm down while beside el, although it can not be denied that at this time his heart beats more flat than usual. Maybe even now Alma needs a medical examination to check his condition because there seems to be something wrong with his body lately especially when he was near El.

It was visible from his palms that began to get wet, even now his forehead began to appear sweat spots.

El broke the silence by starting the conversation.

" Al I have something to tell you."

" What's wrong?"

" You know this marriage is not what I want. I married you at the request of both my parents."

" Alma understood Mas, Mas had also said that to alma."

" You also know Al, why I can't accept you by my side."

" So calm down, Alma is quite aware of Alma's position here." Alma said that while holding back her cries so as not to break in front of her husband who was completely hopeless of her.

" I don't hate you Al, but I can't love you either."

Alma was silent without answering her husband's words, just hearing him made Alma sick. Moreover, having to answer words that will further reinforce his position that he was never expected there.

" What I'm trying to tell Alma. Get to the point."

" Tomorrow, after coming home from the office I'll pick you up to meet my lover. I don't know why he wants to see you?"

Hearing every word that came out of El's mouth contained a dagger that every word said scratched Alma's heart.

Alma's heart was so sick to hear every word her husband said, her chest felt so tight that just breathing made it difficult.

Her eyes were covered in a mist of tears for how many tears had fallen down her cheeks and veil. Alma did not want her husband to know that she was crying.

Withstands the tightness and tears she tries to answer her husband's questions.

" Yes, Alma will go wherever you ask." Alma took a breath before continuing her words.

" If there's nothing to say, Alma, excuse me to go to the room." Without waiting for an answer from el, Alma had already walked into the room and locked the door from the inside.

Arriving in the room Alma ran into the bathroom turn on the sink faucet and shower not only that alma also turned on the tap of the bathtub to muffle the sound that might be heard out when she cried.

Alma was crying so much and this time she could not hold him back again her heart was so sick, not knowing what he had to do wanted it to feel like he was giving up but he also did not want to disappoint ummi and her brother. Alma cried for a long time in the bathroom and during that time the water continued to flow.

Alma had just come out of the bathroom when her crying began to subside but her heart and feelings were still hurt, hurt because of her words and also her attitude towards him. Alma never expected herself to feel this much pain just because of the words El said to her.

Alma decided to lay herself on the mattress and wrapped her body in a blanket. When dinner time arrives alma who has been built remains in position under the blanket makes the blanket as a strong defense fortress. The sound of her bedroom door being knocked.

" Al, are you sleeping al?"

Alma who heard El knocking and calling him was reluctant to just reply and respond, Alma chose to remain silent.

" Al's." The voice sounded again.

" lma... Have you slept?" This time the sound was a little louder. But Alma still did not answer his pain, making him ignore the call.

Feeling that his call was ignored by Alma, El decided to go into his own room.
