Happy reading....

MALIA

I prepared myself to talk from heart to heart with Reiji, after we Isya got together.

I still have my doubts, actually, about this heart-to-heart talk with Reiji.

But I thought, maybe after talking later, my heart would find peace.

Although no matter what kind of calm I wanted, I obviously did not want to be constantly overwhelmed with awkwardness like now with Reiji.

The awkwardness of my heart, who might be in doubt over my marriage and Reiji?....

Where should the doubt no longer exist, after I promised to open my heart to her, and give Reiji as much and as much access to it.

Shouldn't it be?....

And have I not made up my resolve also on that?.

Receiving being betrothed to Reiji, as well as accepting him fully as my husband.

I've been convinced. Well, at that time.

Before there's anything about the past that infiltrates suddenly.

The past of Reiji.

Then, my past came back before I made peace with Reiji's past.

My dream guy. The dream to be with him I had buried for a match.

But now?....

The dream felt like it was writhing from its grave.

But, what about my relationship with Reiji later?....

---

I don't actually want to bicker with Reiji, but I'm also confused by how I feel right now.

But after I thought about it, it felt like Reiji's idea of speaking from heart to heart should not be rejected.

Besides Reiji having good intentions, I think maybe in the heart-to-heart talk later, we-I, in the main, can bring out all the grunts in my heart, and afterwards I can find a way out.

Although feeling less prepared, but I accepted Reiji's proposal to talk from heart to heart. Maybe, about Irsyad I'll be able to say. I don't know.

Just look at it later.

---

I was prepared to follow Reiji out of our room to go to the lounge and talk there.

But just as I put down my worship equipment, the tone of the incoming message notification sounded. And I rushed to grab my phone immediately.

Honestly speaking, ever since I had intense communication with Irsyad even met several times without Reiji's knowledge, I became a little worried.

Like a wife cheating on her husband.

Although the contents of my chat messages and Irsyad are just ordinary messages without the element of intimacy in it.

When we met, we were just chatting. Sitting apart, sometimes nostalgic or talking about our respective activities during this time.

So well, I don't know, does what I did with Irsyad behind Reiji this include infidelity or not?. But it doesn't feel like. Irsyad and I have been friends ever since we met.

Like old friends who just met, so just want to talk and sit together if there is time.

After all, isn't Reiji also still friendly with Shirly?.... And they are also still intensely communicating, right?.

So I guess it's perfectly fine, if I also build a friendship with Irsyad. Although, Irsyad once questioned my happiness in marrying Reiji.

Which ultimately makes me upset. And maybe, because of that, I became a little worried about my phone. I was afraid to know Irsyad questioned it again through a chat message, and I was hit by keapesan, if the chat was read Reiji.

And we'll be in a fuss again.

Hh, my head feels dizzy again.

---

Well, back to me and Reiji who were about to speak from heart to heart, and I who had grabbed my phone, to see who had chatted to me just now.

It turned out that Avi was sending me a chat message. And he's already in the lobby of my apartment and Reiji, about to see you.

Want to introduce directly Marco – lover Avi, on Reiji. Where Avi came to my apartment and this Reiji was suddenly.

Perhaps, Avi's sudden arrival came at an inopportune time - where I and Reiji should have sat down and talked heart-to-heart about the problems we were facing in our marriage.

But somehow my heart felt relieved by the arrival of Avi at this time.

Maybe because I wasn't ready to talk to Reiji from heart.

And I caught a little bit of disappointment in Reiji's heart when I told him that there was Avi and her boyfriend in the lobby of the apartment building we were living in.

**

“We'll talk tomorrow to Rei?..” Malia said as she and Reiji were in the elevator after escorting Avi and her boyfriend to the lobby of their apartment building.

“Iya ..”

Reiji who realized that Malia already looked very sleepy even agreed to Malia's request.

“Ga anything right? ...” asked Malia.

“Yes, ga nothing. Tomorrow I'm free.” Answer Reiji.

“Ya already ...”

“Tomorrow no similar agreement event, right?”

Replace Reiji who asked Malia, when the two had entered their apartment unit after driving Avi and her lover to the lobby of the building.

“Although there is, I ask you to cancel. Because I want us to immediately eliminate the – discomfort between us. And I want your time as my wife, for me, your husband..”.

Reiji said softly, but there was firmness implied in his speech to Malia.

“And whatever is my decision, solely for the good of our relationship in the future. So please don't dodge anymore...” Reiji continued.

Malia nodded too.

***

In the morning, because Saturday so Malia is not required to move nimbly prepare to leave for the office.

After the returned Shubuh is done in congregation with Reiji, the two do not return to the contest to sleep. Malia is also not busy preparing for Reiji's needs for work, as Reiji is off flying today.

“Or coffee, tea or milk, Rei?” malia asked as she and Reiji had walked out of their room.

“Susu, The.” Reiji replied as he approached Malia who was already in the pantry. ‘Susu you want it.’

Reiji's heart was sounding after. But Reiji could only sigh slowly, because it felt impossible to memepet Malia at this time.

‘When should there be any bickering event between me and Lia like this?..’ grumbled Reiji in his heart. But then he caught up with himself again.

“You are made breakfast what? ...” ask Malia.

“What aja, Yang,” replied Reiji.

“Ya tell you what Rei?”

“Whatever you want to do, Yang. I must have eaten ...” Reiji replied again.

“Laper really ga?..”

“Engga coc.” Reiji replied casually.

“There are instant potato doughnuts stay fried. Want? ...”

“Iya can ...”

Reiji.

*

I noticed Lia who was frying an instant potato doughnut for our breakfast.

Just stuck the stomach, while thinking about heavy foods that we will probably eat later.

“Yang ...” call me on Lia.

“Ya? ...”

Lia replied, and just looked at me for a glance.

“Can we talk now?” I said while asking.

I minimized doing something wrong in Lia's eyes.

So I asked him first. At once I scanned Lia's current mood.

Lia did not answer me directly.

I also saw Lia sighing quietly. I thought Lia would say, “You didn't see me again why?”

But it turned out that Lia's answer, made me spontaneously pull the corner of my lips.

“Iya can ...” replied Lia. Even though his voice was slow. Like willingly not willing. A little made me hesitate and think, what will happen after Lia finished frying instant doughnuts for our breakfast?.

“Wait for you to finish frying it donuts aja deh.” I said.

“Before it's finished ...”

“Hummm.” I cleared my throat slowly. “Ga anything if I talk to you now?”

“Iya, ga anything ...” replied Lia.

--

I cleared my throat as Lia and I had sat together in front of the television.

“Honestly, I don't know where to start our conversation, Yang ...”. Starting talks.

Lia quiet.

“I don't know exactly where our relationship came from so it's like this ... But whatever it is, I'm sorry if any of my words or actions offended you.”

I hope that my words are enough to make Lia no longer seem indifferent to me.

“So now I want to ask, Yang .... You why lately?---”

I grabbed Lia's shoulder and faced her to me.

“What about my friendship and Irly that still bothers you? ...”

Lia shook her head.

“I don't know Rei ..”

“Denger yes Yang ..”

I still hold onto Lia's shoulder gently.

“I won't cape this to you until anytime ..”

“......”

“If my relationship and Irly, it is only pure friendship.”

I convinced Lia.

“If you think I often meet Irly behind you, the answer is hgga.” connect me.

I patched my gaze at Netra Lia. So that she could see if I was honest with her or not.

Because that's the truth.

“If about me connecting with Irly until now, yes still. Still sending each other chat, even that is rare. And even if I had a chat with him, it wasn't just between me and Irly. We chatted in groups, texted each other there. Just chat between friends, Yang.”

I gave an explanation to Lia.

If after that Lia asks me to report every day about the movement of my phone, I will.

Rather than lia lambs it's not clear just because I'm friends. If necessary I give print out the phone in and out of my phone later.

If necessary every hour I report about my whereabouts, even before flying, when I have sat behind the wheel of the plane and after flying.

If not, I will take a selfie at each entrance to check in at the airport as my report to Lia. If indeed it can dispel his suspicions to me, and no longer doubt my already unanimous feelings of love for him.

But does it have to come like that?.

“You please, if you want to check my phone anytime ...”.

“And as a reciprocal you also ask that I allow you to do the same?...”

Lia's answer surprised me a little. Look into his eyes when he says it as if he is interrogating me. Did Lia really not want me to check her phone?.

“If yes indeed why?” my many. “Not that I thank you ...”

I immediately connected my words.

“But not legitimate if husband and wife check each other's phone? Yes even with a note there is agreement from both parties, kala --”

“I have no intention to check your phone.” Sambar Lia, before I finish with my sentence.

“Ya is okay --“, I said. “Lupain about checking each other phone.” My welcome. “I believe in you. But can you from now on no longer bring up what has passed, has been lost, destroyed, about my feelings with Irly?..”

“......”

“Can we go back to the time before this problem appears?” my many.

“......”

“Can you place your trust in me, without any more insinuations about me and Irly in the future?...”

I expected reassurance from Lia.

Not that I pressed him. I just want Lia not to be overpowered by her stability.

*

Malia looked at Reiji who was talking to her.

Reiji's wife was thinking about how to answer Reiji's question seeking his approval, after Malia rejected Reiji's proposal of checking phones with each other in order to foster trust, if it feels that way it is needed so that Malia can trust him fully.

To be honest Malia herself did not know how to behave at this moment. He had to accept Reiji's request.

Malia remembers that she often threw a sneer at Reiji and Shirly indirectly after learning the facts about the feelings Reiji had for Shirly.

And still sometimes cynical about the friendship that Reiji still has with Shirly. Malia did not know the reason for her difficult to accept Reiji's explanation that her husband had said many times.

But now Irsyad is coming back in Malia's life. And the friendship that had been broken was also intertwined again between Malia and Irsyad.

Makes Malia feel a dilemma.

If Malia agrees to Reiji's request, it means she can also remain friends with Irsyad.

But if Malia asks Reiji to stay away from Shirly..

‘You don't want me to stay away from Irsyad??.’

Malia.

“Which way?.”

Reiji's voice drew Malia from her brief daydream.

“Can you place your trust in me, without any more insinuations about me and Irly in the future?...”

Reiji asked Malia.

“I tried ..”
