Reaching Surgaku
Theatrical Love

That morning alma and el prepared to pick up abah and ummi at the airport.

After meeting with ummi and their brother immediately headed to the big house or commonly called the main manson. Their arrival there is not without cause, it is all because mama elma who has been splashy from yesterday when she knew the iron will come to Jakarta.

Mama Elma deliberately waited for the arrival of ummi and abah from the morning, even she had prepared a special dish to welcome the two iron.

Event kangen was inevitable, they miss by chatting here and there a lot of topics they discussed, while alma and el just accompany as a complement and a good listener.

El sitting next to alma with one arm on the shoulder of the chair just behind the shoulder of alma again makes alma like a sudden heart attack. How not her polar husband never even sat this close to her during their marriage, let alone sit next to her imagining it never.

The two large families gathered in one of the special rooms of the family, a very spacious room with large and soft sofas of course. The room is equipped with a large-sized television complete with luxurious audio that can spoil the eyes of anyone who sees.

All the family members talked to each other at length while eating snacks that had been prepared by the aunt. Occasionally el feed a snack into alma's mouth without giving a code first, making alma like getting shock therapy.

He was like riding a vehicle that was ready to spur his heartbeat.

" This guy actually makes me hang, why be a ceo?? Though it is more appropriate to be a plywood actress, her acting is no longer in doubt." Grunter alma was upset in her heart to see the change in attitude of el who was careless to her without thinking about her mixed feelings to accept the change in sweet attitude.

Both mama elma and Ummi just smiled at the behavior of the two, they did not know that the sweet attitude was just a play that was deliberately done in front of them so that the two big families were not suspicious of the status of the marriage that both lived so far.

However, he did not want to make both parents disappointed, but he could not just accept alma as his wife considering there was sandra in his life. So this is how the two do to cover up a marriage that is just that status. El also never asked about alma's feelings so far he only knew alma never opposed all his decisions, maybe because the woman was also the same as him who did not have any feelings for him.

But somehow something else like walking is not right, somehow there are others that you feel in him that he has never felt before.

El felt that there was something else in him for some reason lately like enjoying every moment he passed along with alma, like this time for example when he was close to alma and did a sweet charade in front of his family.

Acting affectionately like a happy and affectionate husband and wife couple, inexplicably as if el happily did so and he consciously noticed alma as if it were not a charade. el is aware of himself enjoying everything he does for alma.

Dr...dr...

Alma's phone rang the sound of an incoming call from a new number that was not known, alma was a little hesitant when she would receive the call. But alma who was aware of ummi and mama elma noticed him also made ordinary movements when receiving the call, so that his parents were not thinking about him.

Alma asked everyone for permission to pick up the phone for a while, el gestured with a nod of his head a sign that he allowed alma to pick up the phone.

In El's heart wondered who contacted alma?? Why not get registered in her contacts?? Usually you never take a headache when alma's phone rings, even he does not care who contacted alma but why is now different. He seemed to want to know who the phone number is not listed in alma contact??

While alma who received a phone a bit away from her family position gathered was curious who this time called her.

" Ashlalama??."

" Moreo." The baritone voice was heard again, quickly alma could recognize who the owner of the high-pitched voice.

" You again???." An upset tone is clearly visible from alma's speech.

" Yes... The more you try to avoid and reject me, the more desperate I will be." The guy who called her.

" What do you really want??? Why bother me???." Alma was getting angry.

" I just want you to answer every time I ask, pick up the phone every time I call you and..." Not done alex talk, alma first cut alex's words.

" I can't, I can't obey everything you want. I'm already..?."

" Married??" Alex loudly interrupted alma's words.

" Where do you know???" Alma was confused.

" I know all about you and maybe what you don't even know I know." Alex clear.

" What do you mean???." Alma asked, wondering what Alex said.

" So you want to know???" asked alex fishing.

" No." Answer alma firmly.

" But it's good that you already know that I'm married so I don't have to explain anymore why you can't bother me." Her speech.

" This is the last time you'll bother me on a phone like this. Don't repeat it again." Alma turned off her phone connection.

El who had been watching alma secretly realized that something was not right about who had just contacted alma.

After closing his phone, Alma walked back to the room where all his extended family gathered and sat down next to El who was watching him with a sharp look. El quickly changed his sitting position so that this time closer to alma, making alma become misbehaved.

" What are you doing anyway??" The shrill alma whisper in el's ear made him ticklish.

" Theatrical." El answered frankly without stale ado, whispering back to alma's ear.

" Who's on the phone??" El whispered back.

" Nobody." Answer alma lirih.

" If it's nobody why so long??" El's whisper back to alma's ear.

" Nobody and nothing important." Alma scales.

" Your boyfriend???" Reply el.

Hearing el whisper like that made Alma a little fed up, how could el say that while they both know who here who has a lover does not even care about the feelings of his partner. Truly selfish human you are, you can lightly talk like that. If only I did not remember all the Ummi advice maybe now we are no longer anyone.

Slowly, Alma adjusted her breath to calm down and not carried away by the emotions of hearing her husband's words.

" Have you forgotten your memory?" Answer alma.

" You mean?"

" I have a boyfriend, not alma." His whisper returned to el's ear.

Feeling annoyed with alma's answer, El accidentally fed alma with a large cake that makes alma difficult to chew.

Alma who could only protest by gesturing through her bulging eyes and occasionally in movements to the right and left was upset with the childlike behavior. But el did not at all scratch the alma protester, it made the alma even more irritated and finally pinch the waist a little hard. Spontaneously el shouted complaining because he felt pain due to the pinching that alma gave him.

Suddenly his reaction invited the attention of all members of his family, quickly alma stroked the waist of el who had been pinched, pinching, no papa kok mas is just a small ant he said distract all his family who are currently staring at him and el full of question marks.

" What's the fuck al? Sick know not." El lirih.

" Abisnya mas first, why nyuapin alma cake that is the size of an elephant?"

" Wake it don't be chatty." El's whisper returned to alma's ear while rubbing the base of alma's head.

Alma could only silently accept all the treatment el had on her and continued to chew the food in her mouth by occasionally looking towards el with a resentful yet happy gaze as well. Inside her alma felt her heart very warm with this kind of attitude towards her.

If only all the sweet attitude el to her sincere not just a charade, surely she would be the happiest woman in the world.

Alma will always try to be patient until the real mas can nerima alma become the wife of the whole mas. But if it is until the end it is not alma which is the choice of mas, alma will be sincere as long as mas happy. Say it in the heart.

It was 12pm and all the family members were getting tired.

Ummi and Abah decided to rest in the guest room that had been prepared.

Mom and Dad decided to go into the room and rest.

While el contacted tito's assistant to make sure the office is fine and told tito to handle all office affairs for the next few days because el will not go to the office as long as the two leaders are located in jakarta.

El wanted to accompany alma to take her two masters to visit some of the parlors that became abah's partners.

Alma who lives alone in the family room also chose to go into the room to lay down his body that already feels stiff because all day too long sitting still without doing activities. Sometimes in the room alma immediately dropped his body on the padded mattress size king size, a mattress that is very comfortable to make it linger there for a long time.

Alma dropped her body on the soft bed.At long after the door of the room opened. He saw her go into the room and lay down right next to Alma. Alma who was confused by the behavior of el also changed his position and sat on the bed.

" Well, what are you doing here??" Ask alma.

" Are you sleeping here?"

" Hes."

" In the bed."

" Hes."

" Aren't you sleeping on the couch?."

" No... Males tired?! sleep here soft."

Hearing such an answer alma took the initiative to exchange positions with her who now chose to sleep on the sofa because she saw el who seemed reluctant to sleep on the sofa.

El who saw Alma walking towards the sofa was confused by him.

" What do you want al??" El asked back.

" Yes sleeping mas. What else do you want to do??"

" Why sleep on the couch??" Ask el.

" Yes... Because I slept in bed, did I sleep on the couch??I want a bed, right?? Say dong mas. Can alma move, don't need to immediately call it??" Answer alma plainly.

El shook his head softly and scratched his head which was actually not itchy.

" You sleep in bed, I'm not a taker!!!" Reply el disgusted with the behavior of alma who even walked moved to the sofa.

" Why is it??? Alma didn't sleep on the couch."

" No need. I don't want to sleep in a bed." Answer El start sewot.

Alma who was confused by the change in mood el was only able to obey without much protest, because she was quite tired all day. Finally they fell asleep in their respective places according to the initial agreement when they first stayed at the main mansion.

That they would sleep one room with alma sleeping on the bed and el sleeping on the long sofa that was in the room.

Not even night came, time showed at half-eight o'clock.

They have gathered at the dining table, eating a variety of dishes that have been provided. Alma served el at the dinner table like a real wife.

El began to tease alma by feeding her this food and it overwhelmed her when she was about to chew food because her mouth was too full. El tau alma would not reject el when in front of her parents.

Alma, who was increasingly upset with her husband's behavior, made her want to repay her husband's actions by feeding him a full spoon and still added with alma who again fed him with crackers. Seeing El in distress while chewing the food he gave made Alma smile while asking el.

" How does baby taste good??" Alma asked with a demonic smile.

The furious El could only nod while chewing the full food inside his mouth.

Again their behavior provoked the laughter of both parents.

After dinner the men gathered on the back porch busy with chess, while the women were sitting in the living room chatting.

Elma takes a memory album where in it is full of childhood photos of el, alma is so happy to get a chance to see a memorable album that tells the story of her husband's childhood. Cute and adorable face that makes alma think if she was pregnant with a boy from the seeds of her husband would be cute child and his look would be the same as the photo that is looking at it.

" Mom can you not if alma asked for a photo of mas el when she was a child??" Ask alma.

" May dong darling. The real person has already given mama for you to cook just a photo do not mama kankan?? Let's take which one do you want?? Bring it all if you want. Mama still has a lot of childhood albums."

Alma smiled happily for getting a special gift, even though the person was cold at least these photos would strengthen me later.

It did not feel like the night was getting late they went back to their respective rooms to rest.

.

.

.

Alma who was lying on the bed but could not close her eyes as well as el. They remained in their respective places, Alma in bed while el still remained on her sofa.

" Ali??"

" Yes, mas."

" Can I ask you something al?"

" What do you ask?"

" Do you regret this matchmaking?"

" Alma believed that everything that happened in this alma's life was the destiny of God, so never once did alma regret this matchmaking."

" But don't you love me al? How can you accept all this."

" Wedding is worship, obeying the words of the parents is filial piety that it can also be a reward, accepting Mas to be husband alma is worship and reward. What part does alma regret? Alma just needs to go through everything with ihklas."

" I'm sorry I'm al."

" I'm sorry for what??"

" Because you should be stuck with a marriage like this with me."

" It's not my fault."

" Yes, it's not your fault either."

For a moment the two fell silent as if they were both thinking and diving into each other's hearts.

" How's it going with sandra, mas??"

" It's kind of better, thanks for not opening up my problem with sandra to our family."

" Hm." Alma just cleared her throat.

" Al, can I ask you something?"

" Please mas."

" Why haven't you ever complained about my relationship with Sandra to our extended family??"

" Do you expect me to stir it up??"

" It's up to you al."

" You are my husband. Whether you want it or not, like it or not, you are still my husband. Good and bad you I have to be ready to accept it. If anyone has to know about you, let them know only your good side while your dark side is enough I keep them from knowing. That is the point of husband and wife complementing each other and covering up the shortcomings of their partner."

" Do you hate me al?"

" No, Mas."

" Have I hurt you al??"

" Take that to yourself, your heart will be able to feel whether you hurt someone or not."

" Ali??"

" Yes, mas."

" Go to sleep."
