SECOND TIME - LOVE IN CASTE
52. MUTUALLY HONEST

A lunch together that Jonathan never expected. It doesn't matter if there's a family dinner but a meal

this afternoon with two women who really wanted to avoid it

it was a nightmare for him.

"Why don't you just go home for lunch, Jo? Go to the office near. More healthy and hygienic." Madam Marta started the conversation as well as breaking the silence between the three of them.

"If the day is stuck, it can take a long time as well. Better at the office. There is a canteen. It's also hygienic." Nathan answered without looking at his mother.

The silence greeted the three for a while.  Each of them was thinking about what to say to melt the atmosphere. Mrs Marta clearly knows that Jonathan is currently uncomfortable. He knew from childhood, though,

Nathan was never comfortable with her.

While Delia, she was thinking about whether or not what Nathan said was true. Who knows, Nathan could have been

eat alone with Nara somewhere hidden. Just like him and the sky.

"Jo, Mama ran out of your house."

Madame Marta's short sentence finally caught Jonathan's attention. Him

raised his face and looked at his mother while chewing softly. Eyebrows

raised like asking, Then?

"Mama was around and there were a lot of

it needs to be renovated there, Mama said Delia. You can talk later."

Delia nodded faintly at her in-laws speech.

"Mama tell me to call the gardener and make

the garden in addition also a handyman who can make a gazebo near the pool," said

Delia looked at Nathan.

"Just do! How good is it."

What can Nathan say but yes? If they want to renovate, it is their home. In Delia's name too. Let them arrange it.

"After this you are busy in the office,

Jo?" ask mrs Marta.

"Yes!"

Madam Marta only sighed heavily seeing Nathan's unchanging attitude for even twenty more years. The words he had arranged to talk about with Jonathan and Delia were swallowed back.

The three spent lunch time and were more silent. What a family that looks harmonious on the outside but at war

inmost.

"When there's an event, we've made a deal. Can you take Delia home, Jo?"

Actually Jonathan really wanted to break the table, but even a sign of annoyance he could not afford.

"Yes!" Only that short answer can

he gave. The two women there knew very well that it wasn't iklas.

"I'm sorry, Jo. Mama said she'd drive me home, so I'd go in Mama's car." Delia couldn't stand sitting down

in silence finally opened the voice. It's been a half hour drive to

house and this is the first sentence that was heard in Nathan's car.

That's right Nathan said, if the day is stuck. The distance from the restaurant they ate earlier to the house could have been thirty minutes if without

there is such a traffic jam.

"Yes, it's okay."

Nathan really wanted to ask about

Skies. But he did not find a suitable word as an opening. Finally

he remained silent until they entered their housing complex.

"Delia," call Nathan slow and

it stopped Delia's hand from opening the car door.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" nathan asked when

their views meet.

"Sure!" delia replied with a smile

unfortunately, it was in vain because there was no reply.

Both of them are now sitting in the dining room. Before a word

word came out of Nathan's mouth, Bi Narti came and brought two cups of coffee.

"Thank you, Bi." Nathan raised

cup it and sip that black coffee.

Delia wondered in her heart, what would Jonathan talk about? Will I be honest about Nara?

"Delia, I want to talk about

what you said about you having a boyfriend. At that time, we hadn't discussed it

because I'm pressed for something." Nathan said it without looking at Delia.

"Is your boyfriend serious about you? I mean, if you're just playing around and just having fun, it's gonna be hard to ask our parents for permission to divorce."

"We're serious. It's just that we can't

proceeding to the next stage because we were hindered by my status," Delia replied.

"Did you tell him?"

"Yes, from the beginning we decided to

related, I immediately told her," Delia replied honestly.

In fact, Nathan could already guess what they would get if he talked about divorce. Besides the curse, all the good things his family had for him would be revealed and the divorce would not be

runs smoothly. But time goes on, until when he and Delia will

trapped in this pseudo marriage and household.

"I can already predict, this will not

it was a good and smooth walk, especially from my family. If they refuse, then,

can you hold on to ask for a divorce? That is, we have to fight

they." them."

"Okay, I understand. Should I say that I have a lover if asked why we can't continue the marriage?" ask Delia. Actually he wanted to lure Nathan so that Nathan also admitted that he had a lover even though he did not tell him who it was.

"I don't think it's necessary, then it can affect the sky," Nathan accidentally mentioned the name of the lover of his wife and

it made Delia startled and covered her mouth with both hands. Her eyes

glaring at Nathan like questioning him?

"...!!! You know?"

"Yes." Yeah." Nathan replied. Not very

responding to the surprised reaction from Delia.

Delia thought, could it be Nara who

told him? It's been since when Nathan found out that he was dating

The heavens? His mouth opened to ask where Nathan knew it from.

"I've only known lately." Nathan

cutting off Delia who had not voiced her question.  Nathan smiled as he looked at Delia who breathed a sigh of relief.

"I saw you two a few days ago in

the club." At club? Could it?

"Did Heaven know that you and I were married?" jonathan asked again to cut off Delia who was about to ask.

From now on, he was hoping Jonathan would talk about Nara

had a chance to offend but it seems Jonathan knows the contents

his mind. Jonathan always asked when Delia's questions were already

it's at the end of his tongue.

"Hmm, know. I told you, when we

decided to get in touch, we were honest with each other."

"How long has it been?"

"Hmm? How long is our relationship?" ask

Delia pointed at herself.

Jonathan nodded in agreement to Delia's question.

"Hmm, almost a year maybe, or already

more."

"I'm sorry, Del, because I'm so

slow to handle our parents' projects. I focused there and postponed

our divorce.  I'm glad, you're not

stuck in our marriage rope without this direction. I'm happy too, you

get someone you love and love you. More, he can

accept you, accept your status." There is a sense of pleasure but there is also

sadly. If Delia can be accepted by Heaven, why can't you

accept me, Ynara? ask Jonathan in your heart.

Delia felt a lasciviousness from Jonathan's words. He just smiled awkwardly in response. It seems, alluding to Ynara is not the right thing now, inwardly.

"I hope you also find someone you love and love you, Jo."

"But I'm not as lucky as you are, Del. Him

angry when I found out I was married, even though I explained how

my marriage, still she pushed me away."

"Maybe you're trying less."

"I was even kicked out of his house the night

that's."

Delia hopes Jonathan forgets who he's talking to right now. He hopes Jonathan recognizes Ynara as his lover.

"Two years, but it wasn't enough for him to forgive me."

"You mean? You mean two years of dating?"

"Hmmm"

"Even before we get married?"

"No, I fell in love with her on the date

our marriage has been decided. And I ended up lying for the sake of being able to

get his love."

"Then?"

"She's Ynara, you must know."
