The Retaliation of the CEO's Wife and the Idol
CHAPTER 12: ONE PROOF SHOWN

Three days after Evan gave Ega a heart-shaped arrangement of white roses, the woman became suspicious of her husband. Ega, who was happy to receive an outpouring of love in the form of small gifts from her husband, is now always filled with question marks every time he gets it. ‘What are you hiding so you cover it this way?’ batin Ega who has just returned to get a series of roses from Evan through courier services. The flowers came back red as he always received. This is what makes Ega increasingly suspicious, that the heart-shaped white rose the other day is actually not intended for him.

“Kak Ega got another rose shipment?” Said Aluna who had just finished her appearance and walked into the cosmetology room. The beautiful girl's eyeballs sparkled to find a chain of fragrant red roses in Ega's hands. The beautiful girl inhaled her scent and instantly her sweet smile fell on her back.

“Thank you once Ega's sister has a husband who is always attentive like this,” praise Aluna on Ega who then put the rose flower arrangement and hurry to clean her hair makeup equipment. Getting that compliment, Ega only responded with a faint smile.

“I want to get married every time I see Kak Ega get a surprise like this,” concluded Aluna while sighing slowly. The words instantly stopped Ega's busy movements from stuffing her hair tools into the suitcase. ‘If this beautiful girl knew that a beautiful looking marriage doesn't always mean that,’ Inner Ega.

“Why don't you get married immediately if it is already a match?” Ega asked Aluna who was removing her hair accessories. The beautiful girl again sighed then turned to look at Ega.

“I'm still twenty years old, Brother. We were also not long ago at the peak of our careers. I do not want to destroy the career I dreamed of just because of the wedding,” explained Ega while also putting the hair accessories she wore into Ega's suitcase.

“But Iko will also get older, you know?” ledek Ega while laughing a little while the laughter was followed by Aluna.

“Not say love people don't know age?” seloroh Aluna laughs. From the way he spoke, it was clear that Aluna loved her partner very much.

“You love him so much, don't you?” asked Ega who immediately stopped the rest of the laughter coming out of Aluna's sweet mouth. The girl stared at Ega for a few moments then chirped, “More than Kak Ega knew,”. Somehow the gaze seemed to confirm that he was warning Ega not to get close to Iko because Iko was his.Ega immediately turned his gaze to avoid awkwardness between the two.

“Where are you going after this?” ask Ega to Aluna. The girl shrugged both of her shoulders.

“Entahlah. Looks like I'll go straight home, I'm quite tired today,” concluded Aluna.

...***...

Not long after the two of them had a chat in the cosmetology room, Aluna finally decided to go home. So did Ega, the woman immediately rushed to leave the cosmetology room because her work was done. But again, Iko came back to him.

“There's something I want to tell you, Ga. Do you have time for us to talk?” Iko asked as soon as she met Ega in front of the cosmetology room.

“Guide me for a coffee. I really want to talk to you,” pinta the man.

“Are you crazy? How could we both go for coffee? Your career could be ruined overnight if the media finds out that Iko Bhagaskara was caught drinking coffee together with a hairstylist.”

“Then we talk about it here,” concluded Iko trying to hold back the departure of Ega. The woman again looked at the circular watch in her left hand.

“Ten minutes only. I'm in a hurry,” said Ega. The man immediately pulled out his phone. His fingers seemed to be looking for something from within that black-colored flat screen.

“This is your husband, right?” said Iko while showing a photo of himself in front of an iconic statue of a five-star hotel. The photo Iko wanted to show Ega since a while ago. Ega who was a little unconcerned, grabbed Iko's phone to observe the photo more closely. Slowly the woman zoomed in on the image and instantly her hand movements came to a halt.

“There is no way you don't recognize your own husband even if it only looks sideways, ‘kan?” Iko assured. Ega. His eyes were fixed on the flower arrangement in the man's grasp. A heart-shaped white rose, exactly the same as Evan gave her some time ago. Ega's esophagus was blocked, but he did not want to show all that to Iko. He does not want to involve others in his household relationships, even if it is his own close friend.

“What do you mean show me this photo? You want me to split up just because of this photo?” denying Ega that instantly made Iko cluck a little annoyed.

“Come, Ga. Why do you always misunderstand me? I just want you to be more careful and find out. Or actually you already know the decay of your husband's heart, but you choose to close your eyes?” timpal Iko with a little tart. Ega stared fixedly at Iko.

“Life is too long, Ga. Do not let you pretend to be happy just because he has given you everything,” Iko told his best friend.

“Whatever happens in my household, it has absolutely nothing to do with you. Although we're not as close as we used to be, I still appreciate our friendship, Ko. So please, this time do not go too far into my personal life,” said the woman firmly.

“Your time is up. I have to go home,” close Ega while hurrying and leaving Iko alone. The man shook his head not understanding why his best friend had closed his eyes and was blinded by her husband's false love.

“Why do you close your eyes, Ga?” muttered the man while staring fixedly at the back of Ega who was getting away.
