Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

"I really don't believe in men. However, all this time he had been so cold and indifferent towards many women. He will eventually become entangled in sin and lust. They can't be completely trusted. I'm even starting to doubt whether I should get married someday or not!"

Christina at first did not understand what Amira was talking about. She knew that Amira was highly opportunist. He also knew that Amira has open and not straight of the mind. He could act flexibly too if certain situations require it.

But so far, she rarely talked about something that was currently popular among business people.

"My brother has complained several times. He said he was having a hard time meeting with your cousin as he was much busy. But after he searched and found the related information about him. He was so shocked!"

"Are you want to know about it?"

Amira looked at her other two friends, and Christina too.

They were at a cafe near their campus. The four of them should be busy discussing thesis and college assignments. While deciding where they must hang out on the weekend with their lover.

Christina gets quiet sometimes when they're already talking about their boyfriends. She's going through a single period. That all happened since she broke her love and hope on Willy.

Where the whole of the men in her eyes became very boring right now. She had been in close statusless relationships with several men on various occasions after she was being disappointed in Willy. But it precisely made her even more depressed and unmotivated.

So lately, he has been trying to be alone and enjoy her solitude. Oddly enough, Christina also didn't look envious or jealous when her friends talked about their respective lovers.

"Don't make us curious, Amira! You know it's not fun! And we have a very high curiosity! Then, you know about it!"

Amira laughed.

She took a piece of french fries and chewed it. She glanced at Christina curiously.

"Your cousin is having an affair! Did you know that?!"

Amira was looking forward to Christina's pleasant expression. Because they all knew that Christina had great respect for her older cousin, Harry.

She liked to boast about Harry many times. She thought Harry was a real man because he could keep just one woman in his life. It's just that the guidelines for the two of them were different.

Christina was fond of freedom. She also likes to be attentive excessively and pampered. Harry's figure to her was a personality who was difficult to reach. But she knew that Harry was a kind and loving man. Especially to his family.

He often spoke coldly and curtly. But his heart was actually kind. He was a hard worker. He was also a very intelligent man. And when they were little, Harry was often Christina's tutor.

So strict to her! But could give written praise to her when Christina succeeds to get good grades.

Those moments were actually fun. So much.

When a long time ago before Harry met his first girlfriend, Aretta. His concern then was fully devoted to Aretta. A woman who viciously betrayed Harry and left him a huge wound.

That cold attitude turned into like an iceberg.

Much difficult to climb and melt. Christina eventually became so happy when Harry finally decided to get married. It was unbelievable news but true. Because the wedding was held as fast as an express train.

No one in the family could think so.

But they whole were great happy when Harry seemed so much more human after he got married. He began to often come to his grandmother's residence. He also began to frequently chat with other family members.

Start to be more relaxed and romantic.

Christina could see Harry's love for Cleo, his wife.

As much as he loves himself. Although at sometimes, he hides and shows it randomly.

Christina looked at Amira seriously.

"What exactly are you talking about? Harry couldn't have been having an affair. He couldn't even be double his wife!"

Amira chuckled and showed an indifferent look.

"It wasn't me who said that. But my brother and his friends! They said Harry had not been coming home for days and weeks. He didn't even come into his office. None of the employees knew where he was going. His secretary also just said that Harry was on an important project."

Mariana added.

"Someone once saw him at the airport with another woman. They also seem to be going on a long trip just the two of them."

Christina laughed at the joke.

"Ana! Are you joining in this joke too?! For God's sake, it's impossible!"

And for the sake of using anyone's name in this world, Christina was ensuring that Harry was not a man who dared to betray. When he had ever experienced the pain of having that trust broken.

Christina suddenly became angry.

"They said Harry was working on an important project. So, why did the rumors that spread become such a too mess? Don't you talk to your heart's content and defame someone? So, if he finds out this. Do you think Harry will just shut up and do nothing?"

Christina knows how killer Harry was.

He would be very angry if someone spoke ill of him behind his back. He also wouldn't make the person feel comfortable coming back and apologizing.

"His father's earlier case might stress him out. You have known by yourself how much trouble had on him! He could have looked fine. But he may also be grieving and seeking solace outside."

Christina was hitting a table and stood up.

"Are you know what you talking about?!" shouted Christina, "And are you aware of what you just said?"

Several cafe patrons turned their heads towards her. Christina doesn't care about them. She was busy staring at her two friends who had been talking without being filtered.

"I'm done! Don't talk to me for a while until your mind is clear!"

Christina walked out of the cafe and into the parking lot.

***

This was time for Christina to find out what was really going on. She did nothing understand why Harry had allowed such bad rumors to spread. Christina also did not understand why Harry could be hit by such a ridiculous issue.

She intended to contact Cleo.

But Christina's intention was immediately undone. Because she wants not to burden Cleo's mind. Christina recalled the heartbreaking incident that happened a few weeks ago. When Cleo comes to their house and looks for Harry's figure.

It's raining outside.

Cleo should be able to put on an umbrella properly. But part of her body was wet because the strong wind made the rainwater keep pouring down her body.

Christina was still watching tv in the living room. Her mother was making fruit salad for her. Grandma was in her room. And immediately came out after hearing Cleo come soaking wet.

Sofia descended the stairs in a hurry.

"What's happened, honey? Why did you come at this time of night? Was something going on?"

Lily, Christina, and Sofia's attention were fixed on Cleo's haggard figure.

Lily had already ordered someone to bring a large towel. Cleo looked straight at Sofia.
