Sharing a Husband With a Friend
100.DEAREST

When the hour of the tomb arrived Mary closed her laptop, Zidan ordered them to rest and invited them to lunch. Jaklen first came out of the workspace but Qenan was still busy with his laptop.

Zidan who was still standing immediately closed Qenan's laptop and ordered him to rest.

"Restay time is not for work" explained Zidan to Qenan. Maria looked at them as she stood up and picked up her sling bag.

"Yes, in a moment, sir. There's still a little I have to do"

"anytime soon? If your master doesn't give you any more rest, how will you eat and drink"

Qenan fell silent, furrowing his brows he stood up and replied to his great master's words.

"Yes I can eat and drink while working, can rest while working not have to go out?"

"You're so smart, that's why I'm so heavy about taking you out of this company"

"If there wasn't me sir would have looked for me to the ends of the world"

"You've read my brain"

"Obviously it is"

"Now is the time for you to rest and eat, Mary is waiting for you. She had been standing since"Qenan looked at Mary and sure enough Mary was still standing looking at herself talking to Zidan.

Maria suddenly rolled her eyes at Zidan's words. Somehow Maria still saw their silly showdown instead of her having been out of the room since.

"How come I'm even embarrassed, why am I standing looking at them instead of me leaving. You idiot!"Maria Mumbled.

Qenan looked at Maria. They both looked at each other but did not smile at each other.

"Okay, sir, I'll rest. Sir it's time for me to have lunch my stomach just feels hungry" said Qenan.

"Yes, you guys had lunch first" Zidan left the two of them in the room. And they laughed at each other at how stupid they were in front of the boss.

"You see her Maria?"

"Yes, I see how your master speaks"

They laughed again but suddenly Zidan was in the middle of the door. It turned out that he had not really left yet but eavesdropped on their conversation.

"You called me?"Said Zidan makes them surprised not dumbass.

"Well, sir-kok--? Our master wants to eat us excuse us" said Qenan nervously.

Closing half his eyes, Qenan took Maria's hand and led her out. They passed through the great Lord's stocky body and passed away just like that.

"Based on cowardice, ngajak girls eat only really hard!"Zidan Mumbled.

*******

Maria and Qenan had a table together. They both had lunch outside the office.

"You're sure Zidan won't be mad at you?"Maria asked with a tense face.

"Obviously no, my lord it's very good. I've been friends with him for 20 years, I also understand his attitude.

"So you're a friend who was appointed secretary?"

"Yes as well as his personal assistant, funny huh. I should have been the boss and my Master my secretary hehe"

"So you're not afraid that there's eyes lurking around us?"Lirih Maria codified Qenan that Zidan was sitting behind him while eating lunch.

Feeling understood by the words of Maria Qenan immediately shut up and pretended to eat.

"You know Mary, my lord, it is very kind and understanding. He likes to give me money out of salary and often takes me to eat at fancy restaurants"

Zidan overheard their conversation and chuckled softly while replying to it with innuendo.

"Well, try my lord to be my secretary"

Qenan nodded and looked back.

"Master? How come mister is here. Wah is right here the best restaurant until my master also eats in this place" said Qenan. Again he tried to tempt the old man so as not to be offended by his words.

"Yes, indeed. But after this you meet me at the office"Obviously.

"Yes, sir, surely you want to talk about the problem of fishing instead" Qenan's remarks then made Maria try to hold back her laughter.

"Not a fish but a tiger!"Zidan is back.

"Huh. Yes Sir"Qenan patted his eel he felt this time his Master was really upset with him.

"Good fire" Maria chuckled with a small laugh.

Arumi finished folding her clothes and put Zidan's clothes in her closet. But suddenly Arumi accidentally finds an old photo belonging to Delia and Zaki, a photo when they were still dating. The wedding photo was apparently still Zidan saved until now, I don't know what it means Arumi will ask when Zidan returns home.

Arumi sat herself on the sofa holding a photo and kept looking at her.

"After a long time I know that Papa is the ex-husband of Delia's mother, this time I saw a picture of them while dating" muttered Arumi.

"They seem to love each other so much, but why did they split up? And yesterday Delia's mother even betrayed Mama! Papa too, why did he betray mama!"Grouser Arumi.

But when sitting alone without realizing Zidan was behind him. So serious to see the old photos of Delia and Zaki until Zidan comes home without Arumi knowing.

"You want to know the truth?"Said Zidan then sat himself with Arumi.

Arumi is shocked and does not know if the husband has returned home.

"Mas, I didn't mean to talk about them not-no. I'm just talking about what happened to them" Arumi told Zidan.

"Yes, I know how you feel. But if you want to know the truth is that my mother and Papa loved each other, but their parents did not approve of their relationship because of wealth. And in the end Papa Zaki was betrothed to Mama Lisa" said Zidan.

"Oh so Mas, I never even knew their past stories"

"It just so happens that mom once told me. Actually Papa did not betray Mama Lisa but one day there was an embarrassing problem that happened to both of them" Zidan said.

"Improvement is embarrassing, what?"Arumi was getting curious.

"The incident that accidentally made the mother pregnant and forced to marry, but soon they divorced and the baby mother who was in the womb died until finally growing me as her adopted child"Zidan told me what had happened to his adoptive mother.

"I'm sorry yes"Arumi hugged the husband's burly body as he glazed back as if twisting the same life story as his parents.

"Honey"Zidan stroked Ayu Arumi's face while looking at her face affectionately.

"What Mas?"

"You see them now?"Zidan reminds Arumi of her parents.

"Yes, why?"Ask Arumi back.

"You believe when we are able to pass the painful test of life. God will bring happiness afterwards. Now their mama, papa, mother and father are happy" Zidan said with a smile.

"Yes, I saw it. I saw they were happy, I felt the same way with them. Now I'm happier especially with Aini's presence"

"Thank you Arumi, thank you for accepting my shortcomings and thank you for accepting Aini and loving Aini like your own daughter"

They hugged each other in a quiet night accompanied by the stub of rain that fell instantly dispel the silence of the night.
