The Goodness of a Marriage
Chapter 9. Complimentary

Kia was silent as she stared at the nanar of her beloved items already scattered on the floor. His chest seemed to break, when he found his favorite items had been destroyed scattered on the floor of his husband's workroom.

"Did you do this?" Ask Kia hoarse. Her tears were eager to spill, yet, all her might held her back. "Did you do this?" Ask again. This time his gaze was fixed on the man who was still staring not far from his place.

"If you're willing to follow all my requests, this will never happen, Kia." Reply Aryan.

Kia smiled miris.

"I mean, I should be willing if Mas remarries, right?" Kia asked still as she stared intently at her husband.

"This won't be the same as our marriage, Kia. I love you, and Rika will only give Papa a little way...

"I don't care about any of that, Mom. Who did all this?" Kia asked again while staring at the fragments of her computer that had been scattered on the floor.

"I can replace it with a newer one, Kia. Please do not disturb the atmosphere. Mama's gonna get mad, if you don't obey." This time Aryan said softly, pleading.

Kia smiled with teary eyes again. Free, no matter how hard he explained to Aryan, everything will feel free.

"Serving yourself to both parents, will be rewarded by the Creator, however, if the husband forgets the obligation to his wife, all your devotion to Mama and Papa will be free, Mas. You'll just keep acting on your parents' terms, without thinking that I have rights over you." Lirih Kia is heart-wrenching. "Solve your problem. And until whenever I would never want to be in honey. If you're still doing it, then you should be ready to let our marriage end." Firmly Kia later. The well-groomed woman, with the office stellan, stepped out of her husband's office, towards the main door.

"This is just the beginning. If you still continue to influence Aryan not to marry Rika, then it will be more than this that you will get." Said the middle-aged woman who was sitting in the living room.

Kia paused for a moment, staring deeply at the face of her in-laws who had never stared at her amiably. I don't know where her fault is, so this woman hates her so blatantly like this. After being satisfied to see the woman's face, Kia resumed her steps towards the main door, and immediately walked out from there. I don't know, I want him to say many things in front of the woman he respects, but it all feels free.

In the workspace that Kia had just left, Aryan was sobbing while picking up his wife's broken beloved stuff scattered on the floor. Tears poured down on the floor of the room. Imagining he would part with Kia, really making her chest tight.

"Basic stupid! What the hell are you crying about from a girl who doesn't have that kind of manners. She even left Mama who was talking to her." Said Dian cynically from the doorway of her son's study.

"Don't make Kia even more tired, Ma. I don't want to part with her." Aryan lirih.

"You why the hell? What good is he? Much more everything than Rika." Said the middle-aged woman again.

"Mama has ruined Kia's dream. This thing that Mama destroyed, was her most valuable possession. And look at him, for his respect for me as a husband, he's not going crazy here." Said Aryan in a slightly raised voice.

"If you don't complicate this plan, Mama won't touch her valuables." Dian said, then left her son alone in the room.

In the taxi car, Kia stared at the streets with an increasingly erratic heart. He still did not understand what his mistake was, until the middle-aged woman, hated him so much. All this time, he has tried hard to obey whatever rules are in the family, but, as of day it becomes more and more. The more he fulfilled all the requests and tried to be the daughter-in-law he wanted, the more things he did not want to be made by his husband's family.

Because the traffic jam that always adorns the streets of Jakarta in the hours of leaving work like this, makes Kia have to be patient to spend a little time in the car. A few messages from his coworkers, coming into the cell phone. Kia tried to stay professional at work, and replied to the message as usual.

After the car she was riding in stopped in front of the building, Kia immediately got out of the online taxi that was carrying her. Pay the fare with more money as usual, then step towards the office without taking change.

"Be busy with him." Kia answered with a sweet smile on her lips.

"Come to my room. There's a lot I have to explain to you about our project, so you don't make mistakes." Said Kia while continuing to step inside the company lobby.

Rani put on a sullen face, however, still followed Kia towards the room of the woman who was stepping beside her.

"Hi, Kia." Sapa Dimas's.

Kia stopped her steps for a while, then returned the greeting from their boss' assistant.

"Good morning, sir." Sapa Kia was polite while arranging towards Alfan who was standing next to Dimas.

Alfan simply nodded without taking out a word to return the greeting from Kia.

"I almost froze." Rani.

Kia just laughed.

"Well, the leader must be like that, Ran. Authoritative." Kia. He pushed the door of his study, then asked Rani to come inside.

There were many things he had to finish with this girl, before starting his streaming.

"Kija.." Call Rani.

Kia who had just sat her body on the sofa, and was ready to give an explanation of what to do by this colleague, was silent for a moment. Waiting for what this girl with a knee-length skirt next to her will say.

"My mother is a pskiater and a face reader." Said Rani while staring fixedly at Kia.

"Continue?" Kia asked not understanding. All sorts of questions lay in his brain. Is it possible that this girl could see the problem she was facing right now? But it's impossible.

"Have you and Mr. Alfan ever been in a relationship?" Ask Rani.

Kia frowned, then shook her head firmly.

"The Boss' eyes on you, like the look on my ex-boyfriend whom I'm staying married." Rani's laughter exploded in the room, making Kia laugh as well.

"Where is Mr. Alfan like that. We're not even so close. Well anyway, we are several years in the community including Mr. Dimas. But I'm not close to them, I'm ashamed I'm not as tall. Do you know who they are?" Kia.

Rani nodded in understanding. Who does not know Alfan's family.
