JUST GIVE ME A REASON
chapter 23. Act as usual
...****************...
Lolita and Yuni ended their phone conversation. Then Lolita resumed her work and tried to forget what happened to her. During the day Lolita went out of the boutique without telling anyone. Because Lolita doesn't want to be known by anyone. But when I step out. It was intercepted by Gatot who came out of his car which was stuck in front of the boutique.
" Where are you going?! How does it seem to be in such a hurry?!" ask Gatot curiously.
" I'd like to see a client. Waiting for an online motorcycle taxi" Lolita told Gatot.
" You even pesen ojek online anyway. This morning I told you that I will accompany you all day because I have been on leave for your sake. In order to improve our relationship" Gatot told.
" I don't want to trouble you. I'm used to doing everything myself" Lolita explained.
" Yes that I used to tell you to be independent and not depend on me because of my busy work. Now I miss you who are spoiled and asked to be picked up by you" said gatot.
" Yes, yes!! My online ojek has arrived" said Lolita approached the online ojek.
...****************...
Suddenly Gatot came to the online ojek and gave money tips by saying that there is no need to deliver Lolita.
" That's a tip for Dad!! Sorry my wife did not use my father!! Once again sorry yes" said Gatot after giving money to drivers online motorcycle taxi.
" It's nothing sir. Thank you for the tips" said the driver ojek online while leaving.
" I'm sorry sir!! Don't mean to play with your feelings!!" lolita felt guilty.
" It's okay mba! Thank you for the money tips" said driver ojek online.
...****************...
With a heavy heart Lolita was forced to be escorted by Gatot to meet with clients outside the boutique office. On the way Gatot also invited Lolita to chat while listening to their memorable song Shania Twain "you're still the one".
" Do you remember this song?! You used to love telling me to keep singing this song. You eat the meaning in a really" said Gatot considering the past events.
" Yes, I remember. The ringtone of the song on my phone has never changed from the time we dated until now still remains the same." said Lolita told.
" So often I hear this song. Until I promise you that I will marry you. Living together to age with you" Gatot explained.
" Yes, but it's just a promise. The fact is you are too busy at work. Until there is no me in your daily life. Moreover, you used to promise me that if we fight every day only. Can't be more than three. The reality has been almost a week we are still heating up with problems and egos of each ", said Lolita.
" When I was married to you for six years. Neither me nor my family have ever demanded that you be who we want to be. I just want you to never change when a storm comes into our lives" Lolita explained.
...****************...
For a moment Gatot was stunned by Lolita's words. It was as if he had slapped into Gatot's own face. Now Gatot realized that the wife who was considered never understood and understood him. Choosing silence does not mean not care but because they want to maintain their household life.
" I want to tell you not to stop working. Because I don't want you to take my sister's college. Don't want to be your burden. Even though I have become your wife. I know you want to have your own savings, too. That's why sometimes you give me the ration of the month I always deposit for our children's savings later" said Lolita told me.
" Yes I know that you care so much about our household as well as your family and my family. I'm sorry I can't be the best husband. Which is what you want" Gatot said while apologizing.
" Now I don't care about your family's judgment. Bad or good, I don't care. I'm looking for mental sanity for myself. Moreover, I also take care of the feelings of my mother and sister. I'm staying at my mother's house instead of venting. Because my mind is not strong with your selfish attitude if we fight ", Lolita told me.
" Yes from now on I promise I won't repeat the mistake again. I will try not to be selfish with you" Gatot promised.
" When you break a promise. What punishment will you get?!" ask Lolita curiously.
" If I renege on a promise and repeat a mistake. I will buy you food and shopping" Gatot told me.
...****************...
At once Lolita laughed at Gatot's words who wanted to invite Lolita to eat and shop if Gatot reneged on her promise.
" How do you laugh, baby?! Is something funny?!" gatot said while looking at Lolita's face.
" Hehehe, you are funny and passionate if you again woo me like this always makes me touched and touched by your attitude and speech. I can't stand you at least" Lolita told me.
" Yeah I'm already handsome, funny, machined and make miss Mulu right?! The proof is that you can't get away from me?!" gatot is proud of itself.
" huh?! Not wrong?! You feel anxious and worried about me not coming home all day?! It means you can't live without me, right?!" lolita said she mocked Gatot.
" Wakakakak.yeah, too. How I don't panic. You can't be called. I'm looking at home too. Especially in the bedroom, there is nothing. Husband who is not affectionate and not in love with a wife who may not call his wife's best friend and his wife's family" Gatot told a story.
" That's why I still need me. You don't want to say bosen look at me. And said you don't need me. Because as ugly as I am and as evil as I am, I must be very much expected presence of me as my family and friends. While I'm still with you. Don't you waste it. If I leave and get out of your life. Then I won't come back" Lolita argued.
...****************...
The words of Lolita immediately realized Gatot that it means a household life when you understand and understand each other.
