Who's my? How brave to expect it.
Who's my? I have no right to him. There's something I really regret. I don't know what that is. The feeling came suddenly when he was there.

"Lord!" shouts Stevia who ran into the recipe room. "Nay ... outside, Nay! Outside!"
"What's wrong?"
"That's .. su-su--"
"What, anyway? Su-su-su!" my growl.
"Snap, look out there!" he said, pushing me into the service room.
Lazily and a little restrained, I put the stamper and mortar back in place to obey Stevia's orders.
"A-Ardian?!" myrag.
Smiling while waving at me, Ardian seemed to be sitting sweetly in the waiting chair in the service room.
"Well, are you here?" many wonder.
"Fetch you," he answered, relax.
"W-what?!"
"We have to go somewhere. When is your job done?"
"Ehm .. fifteen more minutes maybe. I'm still working on some puyer recipes."
"Okay ... continue the spit! I'm waiting here!"
Wow ... that's weird!
This is the first time he's picked me up. What important thing are we going to do until he bothers to come to my place of work?
"Eh, Nay .. he's really handsome, yes," Stavia whispered as we returned to the recipe room. "He really looks like a Korean actor."
Seeing Stevia who was so amazed, I became curious and a little peek Ardian from the crack of the recipe compartment door.
If you look, he is pretty good. It is not embarrassing to be taken to a show. Maximum handsome.
"Sir, have this medicine?" A girl in a high school uniform puts a paper tear on Stevia.
"There's a recipe?" ask Stevia.
"Nothing is."
"I'm sorry, we can't serve this drug without a prescription" Stevia said.
"Why, why, Mother? I need this medicine." The girl seemed to be begging expectantly.
"Yes, but that's the rule. The purchase of this type of drug must use a doctor's prescription."
The girl looked down with a sad face. Shortly after, a young man in a police uniform walks over to Stevia and the girl.
"Cannot. Gotta pack a prescription." The girl said to the young man.
"Sir," the young policeman told Stevia. "Love ajlah! We need that medicine."
"I will definitely give you the medicine but we also need the prescription, Mas," Stevia said.
"Mom!"
I was immediately shocked to hear the sound of the storefront being kicked off.
"What's this?" my many.
"You're the keeper of this pharmacy, right? Don't make it difficult! Give us this medicine!" said the young man.
I also saw the writing on the piece of paper.
CART*T*K. That's what it says on that paper.
"Give us the prescription and we'll give you the cure!" I said.
"Nothing" said the young man. "Give me the cure, whatever I'll pay!"
"It's not about money, it's reporting. This is not an indiscriminate drug. We'll get in trouble if we sell it without a prescription" I said.
"Hey!" shouted at me. "About you pharmaceutical officer, you can so arbitrarily to toy with the buyer? Sell it to me right now, I'm a cop! I'll be in charge!" shouted at me.
"Gee!" Ardian moved from his seat. "I didn't want to interfere, but your words really made my ears itch."
Ardian suddenly approached us and grabbed the young policeman's shirt.
"Let's see!" Ardian took out a piece of paper that read the name of the drug.
"CYT*T?! Base ********!" geram Ardian's.
"Who, you? Don't interfere!"
The young man tried to take off Ardian's hand, but Ardian clutched him even tighter.
"You know?! The woman you just shouted at .. She's my wife!" ardian said with a sharp look at the young man. "I never yelled at him, but you?! How dare********* as you yell at him."
"Ardian .. stop!" myrag.
"Hey .. are you not ashamed to have your girlfriend buy gynecologist drugs by wearing your police uniform?! How disgusting!" geram Ardian's. "You too!" Ardian stared intently at the girl in the high school uniform. "You want that brain? This guy fucked you. That was already a big mistake. Now he's telling you to drop your womb and you obey him? Wow ... You guys are crazy! Enough of you to sin for adultery, but don't dirty your hands by killing babies who haven't even seen the world! You're a cop .. You should respect your uniform! Get the fuck out of here! Don't come back here again!"
***
Along the way from the Pharmacy, Ardian just kept quiet while continuing to drive.
I think the incident at the pharmacy just now really ruined his mood.
"Did something like that happen often?" suddenly tanyanya.
"Yes .. sometimes," I replied.
"You were yelled at that? That happens often?!" His voice began to rise.
"Yes ..not often, either! A few times."
"Stop from your job!" snapped it.
"Huh?! Whatchu mean? Why should I stop? No, no," I said.
"I don't like it, there are people who scream at you. Who does he think he is? Base ********!" objurgation.
"Haha .. hahaha ...." I couldn't help but laugh at her angry expression. "If you knew, huh? In fact, there are more often funny events than extreme like that, you know! If I quit my job, what would I eat? Do you want to live me?"
"Of course I'll live you. You, my wife."
Huh uh?! What did he say just now? Wife say?
Geez .. what the fuck is that saying?
Our marriage was just a formality. I don't like to hear his words. Makes me wish.

"Hey ... Why didn't you tell me we wanted to come here? You know, I'll change clothes first. Iiih .. instead pack gini work clothes," I grumbled, when we were at the door.
"It's okay. You look beautiful, really."
Hiyaiish! Again, complimenting. I hate it when he makes me misunderstand.
"Why are we here anyway?" my many.
"There's something I need to take."
A luxurious house like in a drama. White paint wraps around the two-story European-style building. A large yard with many ornamental plants. This is Ardian's house. Truly crown prince of a wealthy family. I was right to marry a member of the sultan's family.
Ardian pressed the bell on the side of the door. Before long, a woman familiar to me, opened the door.
"Ardians?" I heard a word coming from her red lips.
Nadine.
Beautiful 30 year old woman. My mother-in-law .. Ardian stepmother. That's the story about him I heard from Ardian.
"Tumben you came here" said Nadine.
Without answering the woman's question, Ardian continued to step into the house. Of course I left him with this woman. Lousy.
"This is the second time we've met, yes" he said.
"Yes. Hello," I said, with a slight bow to salute.
"It's dinnertime. Bring Ardian to dinner here!" he said, as he walked away from me.
Whoa! That woman is really very pretty. Even though she was three years older than Ardian, her appearance was dazzling. He is graceful and charismatic. Well, Ardian says I'm not attractive.
This house is big, very big. Why did Ardian choose to live in a single room apartment like that? Is it because he feels uncomfortable having to live at home with his ex-girlfriend?
I followed Nadine's steps leading me to the dining room. Ardian was there too. He was arguing with a middle-aged man.
"Why is Om Hery's stake in GLORYA comparable to mine?" Ardian's voice sounded a little emotional.
"Why did you let him?!" exclamation Ardian.
"Obviously Hery had a wicked plan. Why is it still being kept up too? His superior father, right? Fire him, before our publishing office is completely destroyed!"
"Calm down! We'll talk about that tomorrow, at the office. I don't want to argue with you in front of my daughter-in-law" said the man, throwing a glance at me. "Hello, Naya. It's great that we finally met. My name is Juan Benedict Lim, Ardian's father."
I bowed my body to give him my greetings.
In retrospect, this was the first time we met. The day his son married me, he was overseas with all his busy life.
"Come on, Nay .. we're home!" bring Ardian.
"Wait!" prevent Nadine. "It's dinner time. Eat here!"
"No need! Go, Nay!"
"Ardians! Sit down!" said my father-in-law.
It seems that Ardian and his father's relationship is not so good. However, for some reason it felt something that made Ardian submit to him.
Take a look at this! I took turns glancing at the three of them. Their aura was cold. Hypothermia.
But, the three of them look amazing. I mean their faces.
Ardian, my father-in-law, and Nadine-my stepmother-in-law. Righteous beauty and beauty are envious. Like actors and artists in dramas that I often watch. Justjust wonderful.
"You're a pharmacist?" My father-in-law opened his voice.
"Ah .. yes," I replied.
"It's cool, '" he said. "My eldest son, Ardian's brother, he's also a health person. He's a doctor."
"Oh, really? That's great, "I said.
"When you have to meet him! He's a very genius doctor."
"certain. I'll look forward to that meeting" I replied.
The atmosphere was back silent. What the fuck is this awkward situation? That dinner together should be crowded. It's even gripping like this. Makes me lose my appetite.
"I'm done." My father-in-law got up from his seat. "You guys just continue eating! I have to finish some work. Ardian, we're talking in the office tomorrow morning!"
Now there are three of us. It's getting more and more awkward.
I rolled my tails at Ardian and Nadine. They're very compatible. A perfect couple. I was like the third person among them.
Duh! That's how it is, my fate.
"It just so happens that you came here. I'm cooking your favorite. Beef steak," Nadine said as she put the steak on Ardian's plate.
A steak? It looks like meat doused with soy sauce alone. Still good soto tripe made by my mother.
"What brings you here?" ask Nadine.
"It's none of your business" replied Ardian as he stuffed a slice of steak into his mouth.
"You look curusan. Didn't your wife take good care of your meal?" ask Nadine.
Geez! His words almost choked me.
Hellowww! His wife's here, woy!
He could have said that in front of me.
"Take it!" Nadine put another serving of meat on Ardian's plate. "Eat a lot!"
Ardian seemed to throw a glance at Nadine who was smiling sweetly at him.
"Eat a lot, honey!" said Ardian, while putting a steak from Nadine on my plate. "You'll look so pretty if you're a little more stuffy."
"Haha .. ha .. haha ...! Ma-thank you!"
Crazy one!
My mother-in-law slammed me with a sharp look. His eyes flashed an ultra-red light that was ready to perforate the flesh in my body. Gooseflesh. Ardian really invited me to play the drama.
***
"You didn't say goodbye to your father? He must be in the study" Nadine said as she walked us to the front door.
"No need. Go, Nay!"
"Ardians!" Nadine's blocking Ardian's hand.
"Can we talk for a second?"
"It seems like there's nothing to talk about" Ardian said, insidiously.
"Just a second, Ardian! Please!" Nadine's face was full.
Actually, I'd love to take Ardian's hand and get him out of here. However, I think Ardian's facial features are starting to change.
"Nay, can you hold on a second?" ask Ardian, to me.
"He'em!"
Sucks. I was so upset to see that the fool preferred to follow his stepmother back into the house and leave me alone at the door.
Huh! It was so upset that I kept on cursing myself. Why would I say yes to it? Wh why? Wh why?
My curiosity really made me act recklessly. I followed them and quietly eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Say! I gotta go right away."
"Ardian, are you serious about that girl?" ask Nadine.
"What do you mean?"
"When do you want to pretend?" said Nadine. "I know for a fact that he's not your type. You can't really sleep with her, right? Your marriage is just a joke, right?"
"Geez, you're keeping me here just asking this?" Ardian seemed to grin in annoyance. "What if I really slept with her? What if I really married her? It has nothing to do with you. You have no right to ask me about any of that! You gotit?!"
"What if I get divorced from your father?"
"What?!" pekik Ardian's.
"Can we start all over again? Can you divorce that girl too?"
***
"Nay, tomorrow I may have a meeting until night. You don't have to wait for me. I brought my own keys. Nay ... Nay!"
"Huh? What?!"
"Geez! Did you not hear my words?" snarl. "What's wrong? Is something bothering you? Why is your face so pale?"
I saw Ardian's face deep. Why did the pain suddenly appear when he saw it? Usually not like this.
His conversation with his stepmother was very disturbing to me. Ah, what's wrong with me?
"Nay, what's wrong?" he asked, with a worried face.
"No. It's okay" I replied while trying to calm the feelings.
"Is something?" inquiringly. "You've been looking weird since we got home."
"I .. I'm just--" My tongue feels muddy. "A-Ardian .. what ... do you ... still love your stepmother?"
"What?!"
"Aah .. it .. I was just curious," I said, in my own misdeed.
Ardian was still silent and kept my eyes on me. I was even more confused as to how I was acting in front of him.
Ardian moved out of his chair. He approached me with a sweet smile on his face.
He patted the tip of my head and said.
"Rest! You look tired."
"No. I'm not tired" I said, pulling the end of his long shirt sleeve.
Ardian looked astonished at me. He sat on my bed and kept watching me.
"Why you?" tanyakanya.
"Ehm. Just--"
"just?" sahut Ardian's. "Have you heard my conversation with Nadine? Is that what's bothering you?"
I just kept quiet without daring to look at her.
"Naya ... Our marriage ... You don't take it seriously, do you?"
"What?!"
