The Love I Don't Miss
Part 1 (364 Meaningless Days)

"Mas!" calina exclaimed trying to catch up to her husband's quick steps leaving the living room.

The man named Zio Alfaro did not care about his wife's call. He got into the car as soon as he got to his garage.

Letting his wife who finally could only stand glued to the door leading to the garage.

📞 "Morning, Honey!"

📞 "Morning, Mas! you haven't gone to the office?"

📞 "It's me already in the car!"

📞 "Pick me up, huh? I'm going to take this bike!

📞 "Yes, Honey!"

📞 "Ok! see you, Darling!"

📞 "See you too, Honey!"

Zio ended the call on his phone with a faint smile, while throwing the phone into the seat beside him. And then he rewinded his car, to leave the two-story house he was in with his wife, Calina Agasta.

Calina who was still standing in the doorway, could certainly see that smile clearly from the windshield.

When the car was running backwards, it was clear that the driver did not glance at it at all. Which means it is not something valuable to just in the lyrics.

With the disappointment she had been feeling for a year, Calina went back inside the house. Sitting at the dining table alone, staring at the dishes he had prepared since dawn.

For the 364th time he had breakfast alone in the 1st year of marriage. Not only breakfast, but also at other meals.

Pathetic 😪

Returning to take the rice and side dishes that he had actually slipped the do'a, so that the husband was willing to eat it. But whatever the power, 364 times she cooked for breakfast, 364 times also her cooking did not get a good response from her husband.

Never touch, not glimpsed.

"Good meal." - He looked down at the empty chair that no one had ever sat with him to enjoy his cooking.

Finished packing, Calina immediately left for her place of work. Riding a motor matic that he has had since not married. The matic motor that accompanies the days as a married virgin.

Yep! virgin married. Because until this moment, she was still a virgin.

The wedding ring is ringed on the ring finger, but there is no special treatment or obligation that he has to do as a wife.

The days he spent were like a radio, left to talk without anyone listening. Clean the house without anyone praising it. Cooking without anyone eating anything but themselves.

Entering a large corporate building, Calina had already replaced her black pants with a knee-length skirt and wrapped her legs in black work shoes. As a work uniform that he must wear. Her hair was neat and beautiful.

"Morning, Mereen!" greet his positional friend in the office.

"Hi! morning, Calina!" reply Mereen who also just came.

They sat behind the reception desk. Both throughout the day, working to reap sustenance.

"This is for you!" Calina hands one lunch box to Mereen, and another one she keeps to herself.

"Well! almost every day I have lunch made by you!"

Calina just smiled wryly. Instead of his cooking in the dump, mending brought to work for lunch with his best friend, right?

"Wouldn't eat anymore?"

"Yes!" answer Calina cuek. Hiding the disappointment that is already full-chested.

"Why are you still holding on?"

Sighs after turning on his computer, "Special for my one year wedding tomorrow, I'll answer your questions!" calina. "I promised my late father that this would be my first and last marriage! I will make the man he chose as my only priest and forever!"

"Although painful?"

Calina half-down, throwing her best friend's face since she first set foot in the company, 4 years ago.

"Yes, how else..."

"Calina..Calina, when your husband has another wife out there, but your heart is still that big to accept and still fight to get his love!" mereen was half upset. "While from the beginning I was sure, a man like Zio wouldn't be that easy! and you never cared about my warning a year ago!"

"That's because he's a loyal man! he only loved one woman in his life!"

"And unfortunately it's not his legal wife!"

"Naura is also his legal wife, Mereen!" calina Sahut. "Even the first wife!"

"It is only religiously legitimate! without the knowledge of your family! there is no price!" mereen replied firmly and clearly.

"So they're legitimate to do anything!"

"And you are the only lawful wife of religion and country in the world, who is still a virgin until one year of marriage! How pathetic!"

Calina smiled again. The teasing was familiar he heard from his friend who was the nyerocos. But he never took heart. Because it's true. And the purpose of his best friend is to want him to escape the pain of this marriage.

***

At the same time, the man named Zio had just let go of his passion with his first wife. The wife he married religiously without the knowledge of his family. The wife he married before he married Calina.

"I have to take another bath." - lamented the graceful, beautiful, jet-black-haired and straight woman named Naura Azalea.

"You were so excited this morning, baby!" said Zio who was still standing while cleaning up the rest of the release using a tissue.

"Once, you do it with Calina. Let's fair!"

"She doesn't excite me at all, honey!" replied Zio lightly. "You're the only one who can make my sister stand up!"

"You're really outrageous, honey!"

"I am not willing to share my juniors with other women. But you're forcing me to share!"

"If to another woman I would not! but if it's Calina, I don't mind! she's your wife!"

"Stay I don't want to tarnish our love, honey!" answer Zio. "Let's take a shower together!" Zio raised Naura's slender body in front. And took her to the bathroom that was in that room.

Get back neat after sharing soap and water to shower together, now Zio and Naura are out of the two-story house that Zio bought for Naura to live in since they got married almost two years ago.

"Yes! who is it with?"

"Once you go between dong, Mas!"

"No ah! I'd better take you!"

"Basic!"

The car that Zio was carrying entered a towering building. With Naura beside him. They both went down, but no one knew if they were husband and wife. Because in that company no one can get married in one building.

"Thanks, yes, Mr. Zio!" naura said as a man got out of the car next to Zio's car.

"Same - same, Naura!" zio replied.

"Good morning, Mr. Beni!" greet Naura to the man who got out of the car.

"Morning.." Reply Beni. "Morning, Mr. Zio!" greet Beni to Zio.

"Morning too, Mr. Beni!" reply Zio.

They entered the company building together. With Naura walking a few steps behind them.

"Is your wife not jealous, you give a woman a ride?"

"We're neighbors! my wife is probably jealous! instead he asked me to give a ride to Naura! the Naura motorbike has broken down!"

"Oh..." Beni nodded in understanding.

Zio entered the room that read General Manager, where he had a position in the company.

While Beni, 30-year-old man was posing as a financial manager.

While Naura herself, entered the same floor as them. Where he is in the marketing division.

"Naura! At 10 o'clock bring yesterday's report to my room, yeah!" zio said to Naura who had just sat in her chair.

"Ready, Sir!" naura replied respectfully.

In the office, they will act like superiors and subordinates. To govern and execute orders according to company rules.

***

Time continued to pass, the hour Zio requested had arrived. After preparing the report Zio requested, Naura immediately took him to the room where Zio was.

Tok tok!

"Lake in!" zio's voice sounded out from within.

Naura came in with Zio's requested file and closed the door again.

"This, Mas!" said Naura put the file on Zio's desk.

"I'm the one." said Zio rising from his chair. Walk towards Naura. Grabbing the slender waist for then he closed it until there was no distance.

"Mas, if anyone comes in, danger!"

"Everyone who comes in here must have knocked on the door first!" zio answered while sniffing - end the neck of the Naura level.

"Except Mr Kenzo!"

"Yes! if Mr. Kenzo is the CEO and crown prince of this company!" answer Zio. "But today he did not come!" Zio stuck out his tongue, as if mocking Naura's statement.

"Oh, huh?"

"Yes." replied Zio casually.

"Why?"

"Because he's on holiday abroad!"

"Ep... I also want to take it on vacation!"

"Em.. when - when we leave together!" answer Zio. "Looks like we're supposed to be on our honeymoon, honey!"

"Take Calina, will you?"

Zio's expression changed instantly. Hearing on vacation carrying that name alone feels boring. Especially bringing the guy.

"No! we go both!"

"I'm the...."

"I don't like to be rebutted!" firmly Zio actually showered the beautiful face of Naura with a kiss with a tube.

Without thinking or remembering, there is a wounded heart. There is an unrequited love. There is a heart whose pulse is not appreciated. There are sacrifices that are never seen.

"I want to be loved just like Naura!"

The words Calina used to say in front of the mirror. The vanity mirror that had always been her friend told her stories.

...🪴 Happy reading 🪴...

Hi.hi.hiii...

The author does not plan to write any more novels. Because the mood to write is sometimes good, sometimes bad.

But, stopping writing feels heavy too...

So Othor wanted to write a novel with a different feel. Where the idea of the story begins to appear when seeing the link of the writing competition with the theme Wedding Tears.

We all never want to feel that. Including Othor. And the story in this novel is just a fiction. Othor just nagged, to get an extra dime.

Thank you, I hope you like the story.

Warm regards, dear,

Lovallena & ''S
