The Secret Marriage of the Lecturer
Harnessing Raka

Chapter 22.

Since yesterday the confession of feelings expressed by Virza made the two of them in an awkward state every time they met.

Keep your distance, that's what they do. Virza himself does not want to make his social sphere narrow. But seeing her sitting with her male friends in the cafeteria made Virza feel cold hot.

"Follow me!" take Virza with a soft look to Safira. Previously the inner war in Virza felt between wanting to take Sapphira away or not. Finally trying to decide to invite Safira lunch in the upper canteen that is specifically for lecturers and certain circles.

Many pairs of eyes were staring strangely at Safira when he saw her entering the room which could be said not just anyone could be there. The food they sell is also different from the student cafeteria.

There were some students enjoying a meal in the cafeteria. But only a handful of students can only be counted with the fingers.usually, students who are from families are. Of course they are from families who are located, because the price installed in the canteen is 3 times more expensive than the price in the canteen that other students usually use. Although so many lecturers who sometimes buy food in the lower canteen, so they call it.

"Eat first," said Virza give a serving of pasta complete with cappucino ice favorite Safira.

"Gue's not comfortable here. They saw me as if I were a stranger" Safira whispered, seeing one of the women not far from her seat.

"Lo wait here, let me reprimand."

"Don't!" prevent Safira when her husband is about to stand up to the woman.

"Forgive it, eat it!" safira pasrah. He didn't want to make a mess in that place.

Sreekk...

Virza shifts his chair slightly to cover his wife from the sight of the woman who makes him uncomfortable. Safira sees the small act of Virza feeling touched. Again his feelings were mixed. His calmness began to waver. Moreover, Virza's handsome face is increasingly radiated.

After lunch, Safira and Virza left the elite cafeteria. But his steps came to a halt when a girl blocked Virza's path.

"Sir Virza!" exclaim May.

"Yes!"

"This is coffee for you" said May by giving a coffee cup that is still hot.

"I'm sorry, but" said Safira who wanted to say goodbye to leave because she was upset to see May's strange behavior. Similarly, Virza who imitated the girl made the feeling of flowering Sapphira now turned black cloudy.

"I'm sorry, I've had lunch and coffee. It's not good to drink too much coffee, it's better for you" Virza said. "And another one seems that from now on you don't have to give me anything. Food, goods or drinks I don't think it's necessary" he added.

"Do you have a relationship?" may asked softly and held back the emotions.

Sapphira did not answer, nor did Virza. He simply raised his hand with Sapphira to show May. It seems that the answer was enough to stop May's attitude.

May smiled wryly and left the two of them just like that. Now Safira's feelings are soaring. But he did not show it to the man. Sapphira quickly threw her hand out of her husband's grasp before many could see.

A few days later....

Safira is picked up by Virza to stay at her father's house. The day of the operation is two days away. Safira fulfilled her promise to take care of her father-in-law post-surgery.

Even Sapphira had resigned from her workplace. Raka also heard the news was worried about the state of Safira if he had to stay one roof with the lecturer. Raka also helps Safira to pack.

"Lo told me right away that you need any help" Raka said as she helped Safira pull her suitcase.

"Yes, I'll often interrupt you over the phone. I also have permission to request online lectures" Safira said.

"Lo the spirit of the script." Raka excited Safira and hugged her tightly. Virza glared at Raka's bold behavior.

"Oh yeah, I'll go first." Safira took off the hug and paid a farewell to Raka. Raka nodded slowly.

Virza took over the suitcase and put it in the trunk. "Wait, Saf!" call Virza to stop Safira from getting in the car.

"It looks like there's dirt on Lo's shirt" Virza said as she cleaned Safira's back and asked Safira to clean her front.

Sapphira complied and flicked her clothes slowly. Virza looked at Raka who was still standing looking at him. Raka knows, the former hug from her is what Virza means as dirt on Sapphira's shirt. Virza opens the car door and lets Safira in.

Raka stood withstanding the emotion that started to be unstoppable and stared at the black car going away and lost from sight.
