As Malia chooses to spend time without Reiji, so does what Reiji does.

Well, Reiji had no choice, because Malia had already left him alone in their apartment.

If Malia tells Reiji that she has an appointment with her friend, Reiji decides to join her friends who are gathering at Shirly's apartment. Just think Reiji, gathering with his friends will help calm and comfort him.

Reiji's self who was overcome with frustration over Malia's selfishness today by leaving without asking her permission to go to meet her friends, without caring about Reiji, even if she did not want to. Though Reiji was suppressing his emotions, not until he showed Malia because a little bit of attitude Malia who said less respect for him as a husband, did make Reiji uncomfortable.

So Reiji decides to follow in Malia's footsteps, who agrees with her friend, to come to meet Shirly's invitation to gather with their other friends at her best friend's apartment.

‘Live I thought alesan to the children why I came alone without Lia!’

Monologue Reiji in his heart, as he was already driving his car towards Shirly's apartment.

REIJI

At about eight o'clock in the night I was back at my apartment and Lia.

After I spent some pretty good time with my best friends at Irly's apartment. Which is not only my core friends who are there, but also their partners.

It's just me and Irly without a partner.

Irly is still traumatized to start and build relationships with other men, after her story and Argan's biological father.

And Irly looks pretty fine without a partner. Contrary to me, who has a partner, but only a few months married, my relationship and Lia even seem to walk backwards.

Just about my past and Irly's as best friends, and I've had a sense of her, which made my relationship and Lia's impression to walk backwards like that. Though I've emphasized many times to Lia about my special feelings for Irly who is no longer there at all.

But it seems Malia does not believe, if given her slightly raised attitude, nyinyir about me and Irly.

Who chose to spend time with his friend, instead of sitting down and talking heart to heart. A little irritating me, a little offending my ego.

Which ego eventually led me to just go hang out with my friends too. My companions.

Where the time I spent with them in Irly's apartment was fun, because it was studded with laughter from our nostalgic stories.

I was annoyed at Lia for her attitude towards me today, but did not dismiss if during the gathering with my friends in Irly's apartment, I kept thinking about my wife.

I even took the time to send Lia a chat message, to ask her whereabouts. And Lia's answer was just, uh,

‘Still the same temen.’

I asked her again if she wanted me to pick her up, Lia said no thanks, bring your own car.

Don't you think Lia, if when she went to make a deal with her friend, I just went back to enjoying the instant noodles?.

Out of annoyance she forgot her obligation as a wife to take care of me?. It felt like thinking of me no, because there was no reply from Lia who asked me how I had lunch, with what?.

I asked if I had eaten, no. Ego Lia.

Which triggers my ego, rising again to the surface. If Lia doesn't care about my feelings, do I need to care about her feelings?.

So I sent a chat message to Lia saying that I went to Irly's apartment to meet her invitation to gather with my other friends.

And no more chat replies from Lia, even though my message was marked as legible.

Maybe Lia's upset.

But other than that because of my ego, I just want to be honest with him as well.

Although I'm sure, Lia will never respond to that. About me trying to be honest with her.

If Lia is upset with me, I am the same. But I miss him.

Impressed lebai?. Whatever.

That's clearly how I feel.

And that longing I still felt, as long as I was on my way home from Irly's apartment, until I had gotten into my apartment and Lia's.

I miss Lia, even though today her attitude was so irritating that my annoyance rose to the surface. The longing is growing, because my love for Lia is growing.

And I hope my miss will break down soon when I get to my apartment and Lia's.

Unfortunately, reality did not match what I expected.

She has not yet returned to our apartment.

Looks like Lia is too busy spending time with her friend who knows who it is.

----

Until the time almost showed at nine o'clock in the evening, Lia had not yet returned to our apartment. I tried to reach him, but my call went unanswered.

Either Lia did not realize there was a phone call from me because maybe Lia's phone was stored in a bag until she did not hear my phone call coming into her phone, or maybe Lia deliberately ignored it.

Even the chat messages from me have not been the blue of the checkmark. It made me wonder about Lia's friend who was with her. Is it a man or a woman?. Because it seems like Lia is too busy spending time with him.

If it's a girl I can still understand. Because usually they are happy what is called chatting or shopping until they forget time. But if the men.. I don't know, I don't want to think bad about Lia. Do not want to also be prejudiced, because it will most likely make things worse.

So I busied myself to just read, after I cleaned myself up quickly.

Sneered, to think about Lia's attitude towards me lately. Remember the jokes of my friends earlier when I was known to only come alone.

Where they say, “Don't bini lo tuh padlockur same Irly.”

Is that so?.

Is there any jealousy if Lia doesn't love me yet?.

Well, even though Lia has been acting as a wife to me completely, including in giving my rights as her husband.

Or does Lia love me already?. So he was jealous or maybe angry with Irly so he did not want me to meet my friend, even though there are other friends of mine.

There was even Abbas who incidentally was his idol Lia.

But Lia seemed more interested in meeting her friend. And by half-time ten in the evening, Lia had not returned.

I also decided to lie down on the bed, while waiting for Lia to come home.

I didn't contact Lia anymore, even though my heart was a little agitated. I don't want to trigger Lia's aggravation which could result in our relationship becoming tenuous.

And not long after, I heard the front door of my apartment and Lia opened.

***

Along with Reiji who sighed as he lay on his bed and Malia, the door of their apartment was opened.

Slowly, but Reiji could still hear it. Until the door sounded locked.

But Reiji was flinching in his place.

‘At last you go home too, Li...’ Inner Reiji who heard the door knob of the room was not long opened, along with the figure of Lia who appeared in the dimness of the room light, the, reiji turned off the headlights.

Malia's eyes immediately turned to the bed as she entered her private room and Reiji's, after which she opened the door slowly, but without slouching.

‘Thank God he's asleep. Mostly we do not have to fuss malem-malem because I came home at this hour.’ monologue Malia in his heart. ‘Sorry Yes Rei.’

Malia looked at Reiji who seemed to have fallen asleep according to him, before he rushed into the walk-in-closet, then came out again with a change of clothes.

Malia comes out of her room and Reiji goes to the bathroom to clean up.

Where it really is without Malia knowing, Reiji hasn't fallen asleep.

Her husband pretended to be asleep when Malia entered their room.

Until Malia had returned to the room already wearing a set of pajamas, Reiji was still pretending to be asleep.

Malia slowly walked to the bed, and slowly took her place on the side of the bed where she used to sleep.

REIJI

I pretended to be asleep when Lia came into the room. Which I know is if my wife is the one who went into the room.

Who else is it?.

He didn't immediately rush to the walk-in-closet to change his clothes or clean his make-up, because I felt that Lia was standing away from me and was looking at me.

I don't know what Lia was thinking when I felt she was looking at me pretending to be asleep.

Because I heard Lia's breath sounding heavy, even quietly, before she stepped into our walk-in-closet, and then soon came out to clean herself in the bathroom.

I don't know how Lia's mood is right now, but I've decided not to make my relationship and Lia's relationship now prolonged.

--

After Lia returned to the room and changed clothes, she immediately laid herself on the bed on my side. As always. Where I then opened my eyes and immediately hugged Lia.

And Lia was shocked.

Immediately Lia turned her body to face me.

“Jeez Rei! You haven't slept?.”

Lia also asked a question.

I smiled while shaking. “But.”

I answered Lia's question by looking at her fixedly.

“Wait you.”

Along with my soft words.

I turned off the ego for my and Lia's fight today.

No more talking ketus to ask why at this hour he just came home, anywhere, with whom. Simply because I don't want any more fights.

Enough to bicker us this morning until noon. So I turned off the ego, and raised my longing for Lia.

“Sorry me.”

Until an apology came out of my mouth, regardless of who was wrong.

I don't give a shit.

I just, miss ....

“I miss, The ...”

As I stroked Malia's cheek which looked at me with a difficult look it was a little hard for me to understand.

“Kangen?...” said Lia and I nodded.

I'm getting closer to Lia.

“We haven't seen you in hours, Rei...”.

Malia says.

“Masa –“

Cups!.

I can't let Lia continue her words.

Because I'm curling her lips with mine.

Hope, if after this, Lia and I will be back fine.

I sucked at Lia's lips, whose person was passive.

There was a sense of wonder that slipped into my heart, because usually Lia - although not aggressive - would welcome my kiss. Maybe, Lia is still upset, so I'm not too demanding.

That kiss was indeed my longing expression on Lia, besides well, my maleness desire is crawling up right now.

“We ended the fight today huh?” I asked Lia, after I had broken my kiss on her lips.

Lia didn't give an answer. But he was looking at me.

“And I hope there will be no more quarrels between us, Yang.”.

Yeah, I really hope. As I walked down Lia's face, without taking my eyes off the face of the owner I already loved.

“Ya?”

I'm waiting for Lia's answer. Although just a nod.

And in the end I was able to pull the relief of the corner of my lips, as Lia's head nodded slowly.

Even after he said,

“Hopefully.”
