Chapter 67

Ariana knew very well that the relationship that existed between her and Samuel was started by accident. Starting from the plan to get a big tender as well as trick Arabella, the two of them agreed to have a contract marriage.

As time goes by, love grows between the two. Samuel, even the first person to declare that he fell in love with the woman he had married.

Both promise to live the marriage in earnest. Take care of each other, complement each other, and complement each other. Survive and even be loyal to one another until the end of life.

Seeing the sincerity, love, and love that has radiated within Samuel all this time, Ariana has doubts if her husband is acting all kinds of things behind her back. However, after experiencing several irregularities, as well as her husband's increasingly strange behavior, Ariana decided to find out what was really going on.

Ariana should be suspicious. Not to mention Samuel's recent movements have been very supportive. Like detectives like in movies, Ariana finally asked Randa's help to follow her husband, who was going somewhere at that time.

From the office, the two of them tried very carefully to follow where the car Samuel was driving was headed. While keeping her distance, Ariana just kept watching from a distance.

Until finally Samuel's car suddenly stopped in one of the courtyards of a luxury house. From a distance, Randa deliberately pulled over the car. Together with Ariana, he looked carefully at what his cousin might do.

"Actually, where is he going?" whispered Randa to Ariana. In fact, even speaking normally no one would hear.

"I don't know," said Ariana while her eyes continued to focus on seeing Samuel's movements from a distance. "Because I'm curious, that's why I invite you to check directly. He's been acting really strange lately."

Randy nodded. Her eyes just kept focusing on looking straight at Samuel. Then a few seconds later, their target finally got out of the car.

Ariana and Randa were then dumbfounded. The two of them could see how Samuel, who was walking around, was suddenly greeted by a tall, slender woman with flowing hair.

However, it was a pity, the woman's face could not be seen clearly because of her position that was standing with her back. Even when stepping into the room, you can only see it from the side.

"Randa, who is that?" Ariana asked without averting her eyes for a bit. He just kept watching until the husband actually entered the luxurious house. "Is that Samuel and Agatha or not? Besides, what are they going to do in there? The two of them aren't having an affair anymore, are they?"

"How do I know who it is, Ariana," said Randa. Then the man's gaze turned to Ariana who sat nervously beside him. "I can't see clearly who it is. But, judging from the body posture, they are indeed similar."

Ariana was getting more and more anxious and agitated. Bad thoughts have mastered even dancing in his brain. The thought of Samuel playing crazy with other women or even making love in there made her even more uncomfortable.

"Isn't it true that Samuel cheated on her. I swear I really have the heart to do this. You already know that his wife is pregnant too!" complained the woman. "Randa, how are you? Samuel is cheating on you, isn't she?" he muttered then while shaking Randa's arm who was next to him.

"Ariana, what the heck! How do I know Samuel is cheating on me or not. I'm not a dukun who can read people's minds. Besides, if you want to make sure it's clear, it's better for you to come down and just give it to me."

"Ah, I really don't want to go there."

"Yeah, so? How are you supposed to know what your husband is actually doing in there. I don't think he's really messing with that woman."

"Randa, ugh!"

Randy laughed. In fact, he was exasperated to see Ariana, who was pouting at him because he was overthinking what he saw. The more the woman panicked, the happier Randa was at provoking her until finally Ariana got annoyed with herself.

"Until he cheats on you, just watch out! I won't forgive you."

"That's the name of a handsome person, isn't it, Esmeralda. There must be a lot of people who like it or tease it. It's just Samuel who can stand it or not."

While the two of them were engrossed in arguing, from the front of the house being watched, Samuel appeared to be returning outside hand in hand with the woman she had met. In fact, the man with the narrow head helped open the car door, then they both got in and then went somewhere.

"Randa, let's follow where Samuel went again."

"Gosh, Ariana. Too lazy. What time is it already? I have to get back to the office."

"Please, Ran," Ariana pleaded with a pitiful face. The woman's eyes were already starting to water. "Who else could I ask for help besides you?"

Rand took a deep breath. Unable to bear it, the man then complied with Ariana's request by accompanying her to return to follow where Samuel had gone.

"Ariana, instead of being confused yourself, just try calling Samuel. Then ask her where she is." While focusing on driving, Randa gave advice. Instead of making vague guesses, he thought it was better to ask directly.

Ariana then nodded. He thought, what Randa suggested could be tried. So after that, he grabbed the phone. Looking for Samuel's contact to then contact her husband.

There were a few echoes of dial tone. Luckily the man on the other end picked up to speak.

"Hello Ariana, what's up?

"Ariana?" The beautiful woman chuckled. Tumben-tumbennya also the husband calls him by name. "What did you say just now? Usually you also call me honey, right?" Ariana protested when Samuel answered her phone.

"Gosh, Ariana. Did you call to protest or what?" asked Samuel on the other end.

"Do you want to protest and ask where are you again?"

"I'm on my way."

"Where are you going?"

"There's business outside the office," Samuel said briefly. As if reluctant to tell more where to go. This of course made Ariana even more curious.

"Whose business? Client? What's up?"

“Why?

"Yes, I just want to know. That's why I ask again, where are you now?"

Samuel's laughter echoed. Instead of answering the wife's question, the man said another matter.

"We'll just connect later, okay? As soon as I got there I immediately called. It's really dangerous to drive while receiving calls like this."

"But Ken----"

Samuel didn't care. Before Ariana could even finish her sentence, the man had already hung up the phone. This of course made Ariana even more annoyed and disappointed.

***

Not as usual, today Samuel just arrived home at 9 o'clock in the evening. I don't know what he was doing out there, what is certain, his behavior today made Ariana even more annoyed.

That's why, when she entered the room, Ariana, who had been waiting all this time, immediately reprimanded her. Very curious about all the activities that her husband did to come home later than usual.

"Where are you from?" asked Ariana when Samuel stepped into the room.

Her husband walked over. He kissed her forehead briefly, then answered back.

"From the office, honey. Where are you going from?"

"Are you sure you'll just come from the office? Don't stop here and there?"

Samuel smiled. Sitting right next to Ariana, the man grabbed his wife's wrist and kissed her repeatedly.

"Just stopped by, anyway."

"Where to?" Ariana inquired curiously. Curious, whether her husband will be honest or even pretend.

"Met several clients. Went to a meeting, then before going home, chatted briefly with Darwin at Coffe Bean as usual."

Ariana's eyebrows shot up high. Already given an answer, somehow he even felt dissatisfied with the husband's answer.

"Is it really just that? Then is your client a girl or a boy?"

"All of them are boys. If you don't believe me, just ask Randa."

Ariana took a deep breath. From this, she knew her husband was dishonest. In fact, this afternoon he had clearly caught Samuel going out with another woman, who knows no one.

"Are you sure you're not going anywhere else?"

"Nothing, honey. That's all my schedule for today."

"But why is it taking so long?"

"That's how it is when you meet Darwin. Never for a while. Randa just grumbles because when Darwin talks, he likes to take a long time."

Ariana chuckled. Confused as well as having to lure her husband in order to tell the truth.

"But, seriously, Samuel. Who did you go out with today? With a girl, for example?"

"What's wrong? You were really weird this afternoon," Samuel complained later. Instead of answering right away, the man replied with another question. This made Ariana even more irritated.

"Yeah, I feel like you're just lying again."

"Lie?" Samuel repeated. The man's brow furrowed. Maybe surprised because accused directly by the wife. "I'm not lying. How can you accuse me of that? Why did I lie to you?"

"Yeah, just think about what you're lying to yourself. Your attitude has been strange lately, Samuel. It's like you're deliberately hiding something. Could it be that you're really CLBK with your ex who is currently working with Palma?"

"You mean?"

Ariana stared. Clucking, the woman answered back.

"Who else if not Agatha. Who knows you'll come home late because you feel at home in the office with her."

"Jeez, Ariana."

Samuel let out a long sigh as she shook her head. Just about to respond, his wife spoke again.

"I don't accept betrayal, Samuel. If I find out you're behind my back, just watch out! Don't expect me to forgive you."

"But, Ariana, I----"

"You don't have to talk much anymore! I'm lazy to talk to you anymore."

Ariana then rose from her seat. Moved to bed, forced himself to sleep. Meanwhile, Samuel could only stare. While wiping his irritated face, he continued to grin. Confused himself should give Ariana what kind of explanation.
