CHAPTER 27


Anin repeatedly rubbed her eyes. His body felt heavy because of a hand that was coiled around his waist. He immediately realized who the owner of the hand was.


Anin sighed then slowly moved the hand that was coiled around her waist. He didn't want Shan to be distracted by his sleep.


He stepped his foot slowly, but somehow Shan caught his hand and pulled it into his arms.


" Where are you going?"


" It's morning, wake up" Anin said, turning her face away.


" Hm." Shan even looked at him sharply making Anin misbehaved. Shan's face felt so close that he didn't know what to do. " Why does your face turn so red?"


" I told you I was hot."


" Well...."


Anin immediately pursed her lips. He remembered very well the events of last night, with the same words the same action may occur as well.


" Why stick your lips like that?"


" Attention", he answered quickly.


" You're afraid I'm kissing you again."


" I don't want to be fooled anymore. Now it's me!"


" No way."


" Shan don't mess around anymore, don't you have to go to work."


" Can't we just be like this?"


" I have a morning clock, too, Shan."


" I'll let you go, but promise me."


" What promise?"


" If we're going to share a bed like this."


" Huh?"


" Ha, why? I'm just gonna sleep in one bed, I haven't even touched you yet."


" Shan's..."


" If I don't want to I won't let you go and I'm very happy when that happens."


" Shan!" Anin became upset by herself. " All right, now let me go."


" Good what?"


" We'll share the bed."


" And kiss you like this" said Shan, kissing Anin's lips. Sontak Anin was shocked. She also hit hard because she had been played by her own husband.


-----


At around 07:15, Shan and Anin hurriedly left the house. There was no breakfast this time because Anin was almost late to her campus.


" It's all because of you, Shan, we're almost late."


" Yes, sorry."


The car was traveling at a moderate speed. Traffic is crowded with vehicles. Anin repeatedly looked at her watch, emitting a hint of worry on the look on her face.


Shan who was aware of Anin's attitude then clasped his hands to keep Anin calm. Shan's hand held Anin in shock. She looked at her husband with a confused look.


" Calm down" he said suddenly. " We will arrive and it will not be too late. Even I'm worried about you not having breakfast and having to miss it because of your lesson."


" It's okay, later after the lesson is over, I'll fill my stomach."


" What time is it?"


" It's 12."


" At 12?? that's not Anin's breakfast. Then we stop buying breakfast."


" No, Anin's late. Anin promise deh, will take time for breakfast, because the lecture schedule today is solid."


" I'll call you at 9, if I know you haven't filled your stomach, I'll walk you to college, all right!"


" Yes," said Anin.


The car stopped shortly before the campus gate. Anin rushed away after saying goodbye, there was little time for her to enter the classroom.


Shan's attention was immediately diverted due to a message coming into his phone. Shan sighed, knowing what would happen next if he did not arrive at his office soon.


Soon after, he drove his car. His phone kept roaring. Shan just glanced at him and didn't care about it. Now he just focused on driving this car.


As soon as he arrived, Shan rushed towards his room. Outside, Reno was waiting for him. The secretary immediately approached and explained what was going on inside.


" Mister, I've been trying to get Miss Mentari out, but she won't listen."


" I see, you've done all you can."


" Will you meet him? or will you go to Mr Adrian's?"


" Did Adrian and Disti know he's here?"


" It doesn't seem like Mister, because Miss Mentari came here right away."


" Alright I'll deal with it, you do your job as usual, there's no need to wait for us."


" Your Master, I understand. Then excuse me" he resigned.


The door before him is like the door of hell, once it opens there will be an explosion that will approach it. No one knows what he'll face in there.


A woman was waiting for him worriedly. His face changed as suddenly as he saw the figure he had been waiting for since. He approached her with the best smile he had.


" Shan, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why don't you pick up your phone, since I kept calling you."


" I'm driving."


" Oh, so" he said.


" What do you want?"


" I just want to see you, we haven't seen each other in a week. I'm always at home, there's nothing I do."


" Don't Reno and your manager have told you, that for a month now, don't do anything. The scandal you have made has not completely died down. So, don't do anything stupid anymore."


" I know Shan, I won't do anything to upset you. I just want to be with you."


" As I recall we don't have a special relationship, why are you whining like this to me."


" Shan, we've known each other for a long time. Why are you always like this. Please let me into your life, Shan."


" What else I should be like with you. Didn't Reno, Disti and Adrian tell you. Now that I'm married, the woman that came into my life has been around for a long time. I reiterate to you that I already have a wife."


" You must be lying to Shan."


" I'm not lying and why I'm doing it."


Mentari was silent, he knew very well how the nature of the man before him was. His face was very serious and resolute when saying the words of marriage.


" Shan, why are you doing this to me. We've been together a long time, why are you suddenly married to another woman!"


" Consider, keep your attitude!"


" Shan."


" How many times have I confirmed to you that there is no relationship between us but business. If all this time I've been helping and caring for you, it's just a friendship. Nothing more and will never change. Go, don't make trouble in my place."


" Shan."


" Your manager is outside, I told him to come to pick you up. Go home and rest. Don't make me do cruel things to you, I still look at you as a friend. So please, go home."


Mentari just stood still, for the time being there was always rejection from him. He was forced to follow Shan's will.


" All right, I'll go."


There was already his manager, Nita, waiting to take him home. The woman approached Mentari as soon as she came out of the room.


" I told you not to come here, why don't you listen to me!"


" Nita, did you know Shan was married?"


" Don't Reno tell you from the beginning."


" Do you know who the woman who married him was?"


" I don't know."


" Find out who that woman is!"


" The mentary is enough! don't do this again. Shan will get angry if he finds out you're doing something no-no."


" Just get the info about him, then I act. It used to work especially now. Just a tone I can get rid of let alone that obscure woman!"
