The Love I Don't Miss
Part 31 (Midnight Home )

🍄 One month later . . .

The return to work hour for Calina has arrived. Calina hugs her best friend Mereen so tightly that the girl is confused by Calina's unusual attitude.

Every day comes and goes home at the same time and on the same day. But never once did they say goodbye to that.

"What's wrong with you, Cal?" ask Mereen astonished.

"Nope!" calina replied with a gasp at her closest friend. "So our way, right?" ask Calina later.

"Clear dong! The latest action movie is waiting for us." Mereen replied enthusiastically.

"Came on!" calina looked very happy.

But for Mereen, Calina's cheer this time was something that stuck. He looked at Calina who was walking out of the table, in silence for a moment. I was surprised, but hesitated to ask. Guessing it will be free.

Finally Mereen followed Calina, walking both out of the lobby area of the towering building.

Apart from the state-owned company building, Calina looked back. He stopped walking, and remained silent for a moment. Stand straight by staring meaningfully at the building. Yang building.... I don't know.

"Why, Cal?" tanya Mereen broke Calina's daydream.

"Eh, there's nothing, Reen! Come on!" Calina pulled Mereen's arm and walked back towards the two-wheeled parking lot.

Using their own motorbikes, they decided to spend the rest of the afternoon and evening walking - the street in the largest mall in the city, but suitable for all circles.

Starting with watching a movie, continuing to dinner at the same mall, both seem quite happy.

They sat together near the glass wall of the mall building. Both are free to look outside the walls. In addition they can see one balcony to another balcony, because it is limited by a glass wall as well.

Vehicles milling with lights that light up, they can freely see.

Until something diverts Calina's world. From cheerful to flat - flat only.

There, on one of the balcony restaurants. There were the figures of Zio and Naura in the middle of dinner. Seeing them walk together, Calina again felt the world was not good - fine.

Look at the time - the time before tonight. Since returning to the Capital, Calina had of course stayed at Zio's house. Reviewing Zio's attitude, whether the man was conscious or not, but according to Calina late - this late man was quite good to her.

Even in the morning, he wanted to eat Calina's breakfast. Let Calina clean her room. And one thing that made Calina carve a smile one morning. The gift he gave more than a year ago was also given on his birthday yesterday, no longer in an ordinary place.

And Calina grew happier again, as she saw the watch she bought that night curled around her husband's left wrist.

With all the changes to Zio's attitude during this one month, he thought Zio was right to change and would be a fair husband later. Even though he had never been invited to walk together like Naura.

The more I looked, the more I looked at Calina's eyes. He later returned to steal Mereen's attention.

"What's up, Cal?" ask Mereen.

"No." replied Calina flatly as she continued eating.

Not accepting with Calina's answer, Mereen frowned, looking around. Looking for something that makes your best friend unlike a few minutes ago.

And when looking back, Mereen also felt the heartache that Calina felt. How not, Zio and Naura looked very engrossed in eating together. Without thinking if Calina ate only with herself.

"Already, Cal... Don't think about them! Get away from them, Cal!" Mereen rubbed Calina's hand on the table.

"You're in favor of a divorce?" ask Calina lirih.

Sighing, "actually not supportive. It's just that I think, if the relationship is not healthy, why survive?" ask Mereen. "Aren't you the one who keeps feeling hurt? While they?" Mereen glanced back. Leads to Zio and Naura at the restaurant next door. "Have they ever thought of you?" mereen asked, "if they think about you, they must be asking you for a three-way! Not both of them now!" they see his best friend always in a sad position.

Calina chuckled, smiling cheerfully. "I know, Mereen... Never mind, don't look at them!" calina said with a cheerful expression. "Tonight we spent it for both! We can go home tonight if you want?"

"Hour 12?" challenge Mereen enthusiastically.

Calina seemed to be thinking, "Why not!" answer later. "Then tomorrow is Saturday!"

"Yeah!" mereen exclaimed, "after the mall is closed, we go to the city park! It was still crowded, even until 1 or 2 am!"

"Ready, Boss!" exciting Calina.

***

"What time do you go home!" the sniffling sound from the middle room, made Calina jump in shock. Moreover, the sound appeared along with the room lights that suddenly lit up.

"Just surprised!" calina replied no less.

He had just returned from the streets with Mereen, and arrived home exactly half a night.

"Answer question!" exciting Zio.

"Road - same way Mereen!" calina replied as she walked towards her room.

"I'm not done talking, Calina!" zio shouted following Calina's steps.

"What else is there to talk about?" calina asked, but she did not look back, where her husband stood a few steps behind her.

"Where are you going until this hour?" zio asked intimidatedly. "It's impossible with Mereen!"

Smiling cynically, "what is your business?" ask Calina cuek. "You want me to go with Mereen. Or anyone, or even meet anyone! It's none of your business, Mom!"

Zio glared at Calina's answer, which he thought was like a drunken answer. "That's my business, Calina! I'm your husband!" exciting Zio.

"Haha.." Calina chuckles amusedly. "Husband?" calina asked looking back, looking in surprise at Zio. "Yes.yes.yes.. You are my husband in the wedding book. But the real world?" calina asked mockingly. "In the real world, you are the husband of Naura Azalea, a beautiful, graceful and smart woman!" calina continued, moving like a drunken man anyway.

Zio stared fixedly at Calina with a strange look. "You drunk?" zio asked hoping to get no answer. Because again - again Zio is worried if Calina is pregnant due to that night.

"Huh?" peekkik Calina's. "Drunken? Am I you who like to drink and then pretend to be drunk and unconscious?" tease Calina again. "You remember, dear Lord Zio Alfaro! Never a drop of alcohol came into my mouth! So if you say I'm like a drunk, then actually it's tired!" calina. "Tired of me over you!" exclaim Calina with a high tone.

Suddenly Zio rounded his eyes in disbelief. For a month Calina looked so sweet. Even once in a while he would drift away Calina's eyes. But what happened to that woman tonight?

"China!" snapped Zio.

"What?" ask Calina to challenge. "You gonna slap me again? Slap it! I won't hurt anymore with your slap, Mas!"

Zio grew increasingly tickled with Calina's attitude which made him furious. Zio walked quickly towards the front. Getting closer to Calina who is waiting to be slapped by Zio the second time. Without fear, without hesitation. He was ready for whatever Zio would do to him.

Ceps!

But it wasn't a slap Calina got. Instead Zio cupped his jaws tightly together, and locked the woman in a fixed position, and kissed Calina's lips lustfully.

For a moment Calina just silently accepted Zio's treatment, because she was still in shock. But when he realized, he immediately rebelled. Against Zio's power by any means.

But it felt all in vain, because for more than a minute, their lips were still clinging. Zio kissed Calina's lips mercilessly, without pause, though there was no reply from Calina.

"Well!" Calina pushed vigorously onto Zio's body as Zio's hand began to loosen. With a breath of breath, Calina looked at Zio with a look of hatred.

"You're crazy!" shout Calina. "You're crazy!" calina rubbed her wet lips.

"If I go crazy! it's because of you, Calina!" answer Zio.

"I hate you!" calina flipped over and ran to her room. Calina closed the door of her room very hard. No matter if if the door will come off, destroyed or even his house collapsed even though.

"I HATE YOU!" calina shouted from behind the closed door.

While Zio, the man was sculpting in front of Calina's room. I don't know what to say and how to behave. He could not even understand, if what he had just done was wrong or right.

"Cal?" call Zio lirih.

But that voice would not be possible to be heard by Calina who was now sitting on the floor, leaning on the bed and crying so - so it was.

The next day, Zio came out of his room on the second floor. It's a Saturday. Both are off work. Although the holidays work, usually Calina will tetao wake up early to cook. But that morning....

"China!" zio panicked.
