"Can't we park anywhere else?" my protest was when Akash parked his car right in front of the faculty.

"Why indeed?"

I did not reply, from inside the car I could see some of my classmates standing right in front of the entrance. I abandoned my intention to go down.

"Akash, we're looking for another parking lot." I haven't finished my sentence. Akash got out and stood not far from the car.

I was a little relieved, at least Akash didn't open the car door for me. I went outside, with everyone focused on Akash.

"May!"

I looked to the side, some of my best friends approached.

"May! It's hard to contact you!" protest one of them.

"Sorry," I replied.

Suddenly they nodded at Akash. I frowned. Why did they so polite to Akash?

"You're here with May's husband? It turns out that the original is more handsome!"

Whahuh? How did they know that Akash was my husband?

"Let's Maya. Mr. Zay's been waiting." Akash extended his hand to me. Not yet my hand grabbed her hand Akash suddenly pulled her.

My friends who were chatting at the door stepped aside. I looked at them as I passed by. They laugh giggling. I don't know what they're talking about.

I looked down, ashamed to be the center of attention. Akash's appearance was truly too conspicuous. He asked the location of the lecturer room to one of the students, while I?

I'm like a chick following its mother. I should have shown where the lecturer room was to Akash, but I was too embarrassed. I'm like a stranger here.

In front of the open door of the lecturer room, Akash told me to enter first. It looks like Mr. Zay is sitting in one corner while playing a mobile phone. I approached Mr. Zay, while Akash sat in the other seat not far from Mr. Zay's place.

"Excuse me sir" I told Mr. Zay.

"guidance? I don't know how ashamed you are either. The husband was told to call the lecturer at night. Where's script?"

I was silent, ashamed and inexhaustible with what Akash was doing. Rather than the longer the business, I handed over my script sheets to Mr. Zay. I saw him open a few pages and then thrust it back at me.

"Revisions" said Mr. Zay.

I've guessed. It must be like this. It's too bad I met this old jacka lecturer. It's really unclear.

"So that's how you tutored with students? How much do they usually give? Is it enough with hands?" Suddenly Akash moved and approached us.

"Who are you? Could it be acting presumptuous here?" mr. Zay replied, a flash of emotion was visible in his eyes.

Akash handed over the business card to Mr. Zay. I saw Mr. Zay's face change, he looked at Akash with a look of disbelief.

"I checked my wife's thesis. It seems like there is nothing to fix anymore. Read it carefully. Is it possible you're waiting for Maya to give you something else? Oh yeah, your eldest son works at one of Praharsa's hotels, doesn't he?" Akash stared intently at the threat.

I gasped at what Akash said. How did he know that?

"Oh, that. Anu–" Mr. Zay looks excited.

Akash moved his brows. Asking for a definitive answer from zay.

"So what do you want? I must have fulfilled it so that he quickly graduated and was no longer complicated. What do you want sir? Just mention. A car? Money?" Akash spoke while smiling obliquely. It was obvious the man was insinuating.

"No, no. Your script is good Maya. You can register a trial." Mr. Zay searched the ACC sheet and signed it. He fell on me and Akash left us.

I looked at Akash asking for an explanation, but the man just put his shoulder around. Some lecturers and students who happened to be there noticed us.

"Tomorrow. I didn't bring the files." I opened my bag, intending to save my script, but I found another file the night.

"I told you, there's a trial list!"

"You prepared this for me Akash?" my many.

"You think?"' The man left the room. I followed him in the back.

I went straight to the front counter and handed over the necessary files for the trial list.

"It." Akash handed over some red sheets of money when the administrative staff charged the registration money.

When it was over, Akash and I headed back to the car. I can't hide the feeling of happiness. I looked at Akash who was busy driving.

"Don't keep looking. You'll fall in love" joked Akash.

Aw, Akash. Just so you know, maybe I've been in love since I first saw you at the cafe. Whahuh? What just now?

I cleared my throat, trying to neutralize the feeling so as not to look misbehaved. Akash was not what I imagined. I thought during this marriage she would act arbitrarily. Apparently not.

Ruth, what kind of woman would throw a man this good?

"Akash," call me.

"Hmmm...."

"Thank you."

"How many more times are you going to say it Maya? I'm so tired of hearing it" lamented Akash.

I'm silent. Akash ruffled my hair slowly. I turned off the AC and opened the window.

"You smoke?" ask Akash.

"Yes." Yeah." I took a cigarette and a lighter from my bag. Does he forget to throw it away or intentionally? There's no way he didn't check my bag.

I see Akash didn't stop me. Tumben once he did not protest and say things.

"May only this time. Last. After this there are no more cigarettes."

"Why? I don't approve of anything. You can't manage me," my dear.

"Again or not you have to accept. I've decided it. I'm canceling our marriage contract."

"What's!? Don't bother you Akash!" I started to panic. How could Akash decide unilaterally. What about that money? The payoff?

I'm pissed off. "You forgot Akash, the contract can only end if both parties agree to it and I disagree!"

Akash suddenly stopped his car. Makes me almost drown the dashboard.

"Akash! You're what the hell?"

Akash took off his seatbelt. He pulled me closer and in a split second he pressed my head and touched his lips to me.

I gasped, my brain suddenly felt empty. After digesting what happened I pushed Akash. Seeing my rejection Akash did not stay silent. He tightened his embrace. Making sensual movements that made my mind even more chaotic.

Is this real? He kissed me!

"Akash..," I said softly when our page was released.
