The Cold Wife
IYD 13'S

"Why are you staring at us like that, Xella?" Ask Alexa when she gets a hostile look from her sister. Currently the four Digantara descendants were gathering in one of their favorite rooms. The room they built was specially for relaxing on one of the company floors.

"I don't think you guys think I'm here at all. You guys did it all without my knowledge, it's impressive." Ketus Alexella gave a slanted smile.

Arez did not respond at all to the annoyance of his youngest brother. He seemed to be busy with a flat object on his lap.

"Come, Xella. Would you agree if we investigated Sky? And you've always been hostile to him for a long time." Alexa said twisting her eyes puffed. Then snatched his favorite snack jar.

Alexella was silent for a moment. "At least you guys talked about it with me."

"Stop your argument, my head hurts and you're noisy." Upset Arel who was lying on a long sofa. The man was badmood because he could not meet his brother.

"Chew, just tell me you're crazy for not being able to touch your girlfriend. If it's a jerk, it'll be a jerk forever." Cynical Alexa.

"Stop your prank, Lexa." Arel throws a pillow at Alexa and lands on the girl's head.

"Fuck you, Arel." Alexa throws the pillow again right towards Arel's face. "Feel that."

"Don't be noisy, I can't focus." This time Arez chimed in. Spontaneous, the three fell silent. Until the sound of the door opened also attracted the attention of the four. There Jarvis was seen poking his head, and a second later the man came in.

"Hi everybody, am I interrupting your fun?" He sat down next to Alexella. "Morning, Baby."

Alexella did not respond at all to the man beside her.

"What are you doing here, Jarvis?" Ask Arez without seeing his interlocutor.

"I want to ask my girlfriend out on a date, it's the weekend." Jarvis still stared faithfully at the beautiful face of Alexella. But the girl was still cool with her phone.

"Don't try to affect my brother Jarvis badly. I won't hesitate to cut your bird, so you can be a feminine man." Ketus.

"Owh, you're so terrible Brother-in-law. When are you getting married? You've been dating for almost two years, haven't you? I think Winter's having fun in the country right now. Struggling pretty girls over there. How could he possibly hold waiting for you for too long."

Alexa rolled her eyes. "Winter isn't like you, Jarvis. If he did that behind my back, I'd instantly kill that woman."

"Wow, you're really a psychopath."

"You just found out? Even I can kill you right now, want to try?" Challenge Alexa.

"No, thank you Miss Digantara."

"Fear too." Alexa smiled in a slant. Then his phone shook and Winter's handsome face appeared on his phone screen. "I told you, he's not like you. Ogh.. he's a long life."

"Hy Baby" said Winter when Alexa received her call. The man's appearance looks tangled with a loose tie and disheveled hair. But his good looks did not fade at all. Alexa likes Winter style like that.

"Just come home from the office huh? Isn't it ten in the night? You're late, honey?"

"Yes, that's why I just got in touch with you. Miss you, Baby."

"Miss you to. You know what, Baby? Jarvis said to you, he said you're playing with a woman right now." His sister. Jarvis who heard that snorted in annoyance.

"Before I do that, I think my life floated first. I know you hired a spy by my side, Baby. But I don't mind you believing that I only love you."

"So sweet, I love you too, Baby. Come back here, bring your parents. Soon, I don't want to know. New year is coming soon. I want to go through a new year's night with you and my status is already your wife, Winter." Alexa is a little whining.

Winter smiled so sweetly. "I'll be right back, baby. Mommy and Daddy keep asking you questions. They want to quickly bring you here. You know for yourself they love you so much, beyond my affection."

Alexa laughs crisply. "That means I can take your place, Mr. Winston."

"Of course, Baby."

"Baby, I want to have a four-eye talk with you." Whisper Jarvis to Alexella. The girl also looked.

Alexella glanced at her three brothers who were busy with their respective affairs. "Speak what? We've already discussed the contract." Alexella shrank her voice.

"It's not that, it's another matter."

"What's the matter, Jarvis?"

"Come with me." Ask Jarvis to look at Alexella seriously. The girl seemed to think, then nodded afterwards. Then both of them rushed out of the room without being aware of his brothers.

"What's wrong?" Alexella asked when they were in Jarvis' car.

"We'll talk, but not here." Jarvis replied, directly driving his car to a place. Alexella did not issue any rejections at all.

This is where they are at the moment. Luxury jewelry store with a brand name that has swapped the country.

"What are we doing here?" Alexella asked her frown. Jarvis smiled and took his girlfriend's hand. "I haven't had time to give you a birthday present yet, so it's a good time."

"Jarves." Alexella stopped her steps. Spontaneous Jarvis also stopped, the man looked at Alexella confused.

"You don't have to give me a gift, I...."

"Baby, did you forget our deal? We're gonna make ourselves fall in love. I'll start that from now on." Cut Jarvis.

"But that only happens after we get married, Jarvis."

"I don't care, come with me or the contract doesn't exist at all." Jarvis has issued his authoritarian stance.

Alexella glared at that when she heard that. "You want to play me, Jarvis?"

"Don't," asked Jarvis when there was no more rejection from the girl.

"My order was yesterday." Pinta Jarvis to one of the employees there.

"Wait a minute, sir." The young lady squatted down a bit to pick up Jarvis' ordered item. Alexella remained silent without expression.

"It's Mr." The woman gave a box with a pink ribbon on it. Jarvis immediately accepted it and opened the box. There is a necklace with initial JA. Jarvis smiled and picked up the thing.

"Reverse, Baby." Tell Alexella. But the girl gave a confused look. "Reverse, I'll put this necklace on you."

Alexella sighed deeply, then obeyed Jarvis' orders. Turn the guy away. Jarvis didn't waste his chance, he grabbed Alexella's long hair and put the necklace around her neck. Jarvis's breathing was choked when he saw Alexella's smooth back teasing his faith. He quickly finished his task. "It."

Alexella turned around, staring at Jarvis flat. "You like that?" Jarvis asked because Alexella did not respond at all.

"Obviously. What is JA?" Alexella was confused.

"That's our name." Jarvis smiled happily. It turned out that the necklace really fit around her girl's neck.

"Curtain, you're too childish, Jarvis." Read Alexella. Jarvis was not offended. Because he knew this girl in front of him was different from the other girls he had met all along. Maybe another girl will scream hysterically when she gets a special gift from him. Even they were willing to surrender themselves to Jarvis for free. But not for Alexella, the girl was too expensive. But Jarvis likes it. A great challenge for him to conquer the heart of the girl before him.

"You're so pretty."

"I'm not tempted by your praise." Alexella left from there. Jarvis smiled faintly, then took out his black card. Give that to the officer.

Jarvis follows Alexella who is already standing in front of her car. But the girl was not alone, she was talking to a young man who seemed to be the same age as Alexella. Jarvis's face turned flat, then approached the two.

"Sorry I'm taking too long, Baby." Jarvis said embracing Alexella's slender waist. It made the girl surprised. Jarvis gave a look of dislike to the young man before him at this moment.

"Who is he, Baby?" Jarvis asked still faithfully looking at the young man. While the one who was stared at just a thin smile.

"Jonathan, my college friend." Alexella answered honestly.

"Owh, I'm Jarvis. Alexella's husband." Jarvis extended his hand to the young man.

"Jonathan," the young man replied with Jarvis's hand. "I never knew Xella had a future husband." Jonathan looked at Alexella confused.

"He doesn't want anyone to know, because he's a big jealous." Jarvis answered that made Alexella go awry.

Jonathan laughed at hearing that. "It's just that he doesn't talk much in class, I just found out he's possessive. I salute you, Xella. Yes, I have to go. Have fun." The young man went straight from there.

Alexella brushed Jarvis's hand off her waist. Then gave a murderous look to the man beside him. "Stop making rumors about me."

Jarvis was not at all afraid, instead he smiled triumphantly. "But I don't make rumors at all, you're jealous. Proof you're mad when another woman kisses me."

"Curtain, I don't care at all." Ketus Alexella who went straight into Jarvis' car.

"I'll make sure you always care about me in the future, My little princess." Jarvis got in his car. Turn the car on and drive it at moderate speed. He didn't want to take Alexella home too soon.

"What if you come with me to the race area? In an hour I have a race schedule, you can sit next to me. I bet you're a good-luck bringer to me."

"I'm not interested."

"We'll see, you'll be interested or not."

Jarvis drove his car at full speed to the race area.

Main Mansion

Sky continues to pay attention to Sweet who is now taking his son to play. Sometimes he smiled as Gabriel continued to chatter indistinctly as if inviting Sweet to talk. Then Sky again noticed Sweet's appearance, the middle-aged woman still looks beautiful with her hijab wrapped.

"Mom." Call Sky attract Sweet's attention.

"Yes, Honey?" Tanya Sweet approached her prospective daughter-in-law.

"Em... isn't Mommy that hot?" Tanya Sky pointed at the hijab that Sweet was wearing doubtfully.

Sweet smiled at the question. "Why? Are you interested in wearing it?"

Sky immediately shook his head strongly.

"Ck, if you want to try it. We're going to the room now, Mommy knows you're curious, right?"

Sky seemed to be thinking hard.

"There is no harm in trying, wearing a hijab will not make your faith move. Because faith comes from the heart." Sweet pointed at Sky's heart gently. "But Mommy is also happy that you want to join us. Mommy never forces, all Mommy children are free to choose a partner. Even though they have different beliefs. Mommy is aware of what our environment is like, where Muslims are a minority."

Sky remained silent for a while. "I've been interested in Islam for a long time."

Sweet was surprised to hear that. "really?"

"Yes, Mom. I don't know why this heart is always leaning there. That curiosity deepened when I got to know Arel."

Sweet smiled hearing that. "Mommy will help you get to know Him more closely. But remember, Mommy has no intention of inciting you or forcing you into this belief. Like Mommy said, belief comes from the heart."

Sky smiled and nodded slowly. Sweet returned the smile, clasping Sky's hand warmly.
