People Can Only Talk

After returning from their honeymoon which lasted for about a week, Arkan and Lunar returned to their normal activities. Those who work in the same company are professional in terms of work, but sometimes steal the opportunity to meet.

Until now, people in the company do not know who Arkan's wife is, because when the news of his marriage to Lunar circulated, many were still unsure, because at that time Arkan was still in harmony with Raya.

Who they believe to be Arkan's lover is Raya, as well as the news of their marriage. People don't know that actually the marriage has been annulled.

They didn't know because Arkan didn't invite people in his office, because he and Raya agreed to carry out the wedding in private and without the presence of many people.

Until now they thought that Arkan and Raya were husband and wife, but it looks a bit different because recently married couples are rarely seen together. Whether because an argument had occurred between the two people, whether because the intimacy was deliberately not wanted to be used as public consumption.

Lunar and Arkan don't know about the opinions of the employees, because they are too focused on work matters. It was just that, recently Lunar heard the news and she felt more sensitive about it. She was not happy with other people's comments as if knew more about their lives.

Lunar could still harbor that displeasure, because of the work she had to finish. She was busier than ever, considering she was a regular employee and had taken a lot of time off because she had to go on her honeymoon.

To other people's minds, it would look very strange, because Lunar would come to work without getting a warning letter. If it was those who took holidays without a clear purpose, they would have received a pay cut.

Arkan had discussed it with HDR so that Lunar didn't get the warning letter, of course the way of saying that Arkan and Lunar were husband and wife. The HDR was taken aback, but he didn't make it an issue. Thus, he let Lunar keep working.

Even though Lunar was given directions on how the attitude of employees in the office should be. The HDR cannot provide continuous relief, considering that the company's image will be bad if one of its employees is spoiled. The suggestion was that it should be conveyed to the company's workers that Lunar and Arkan were married so as not to cause misunderstandings in the future.

Lunar and Arkan intended to do so, but before that happened, rumors about Lunar were already running rampant among the company's employees. They said that it didn't seem like Arkan was with Raya anymore, because of Lunar's presence. It all started with their suspicions of Lunar, who was often summoned to their superior's room, moreover they had seen Arkan and Lunar having an intimate relationship.

"Sir Arkan had an affair with one of the employees at this company, even though Raya is better, because she is a famous model and she also has no flaws. How can he leave the beautiful flower shop and move on to the flowers on the roadside?"

While heading to the employee break room, Lunar accidentally overheard a conversation. She felt that the longer the rumors about her grew. She and Arkan should have responded earlier. All because the work piled up and made them not have time to discuss the matter together.

"Lunar is acting pretty and even on the first day of work she has become a concern for Sir Arkan. I think it's because of the clothes she's wearing. Can't you see her body shape? She's just like a married woman. I'm sure she's done it a lot with guys out there. After all, how could Sir Arkan be attracted to a woman like her? He should have high standards when it comes to partners, given the classification he has."

"Maybe, Lunar did something so sneaky behind that. We can't blame Sir Arkan. He must have been trapped too."

"You know how Lunar came to work in this company?"

"How else if not by teasing Sir Arkan?"

Lunar had been listening outside since earlier couldn't stand it anymore, so she entered the employee break room as casually as if she had just come. The two female employees who were chatting earlier were immediately speechless.

Lunar took a drink, then took a sip. She didn't leave immediately and before the two female employees could leave, she said, "I know you guys are talking about me."

"Wh-what do you mean, Lunar? We're just taking a short break from work."

"Take a break while talking about me, will you?"

"What are you talking about? Don't accuse people of being so casual. There's no way we're talking about you, like there's no other more useful topic."

The two female employees left while Lunar held the cup in her hand firmly. She thought for a few moments, then a sudden feeling of nausea came over her.

Lunar rushed towards the restroom. She who looked nauseous was noticed by the two female employees earlier. They weren't far from there and currently thought that Lunar looked strange.

Only one incident whose truth is not yet clear, but has spread to the corners of the room. The employees' views of Lunar were even more strange.

Lunar wasn't feeling well, so she didn't want to think about anything more. Ahe came home with her husband in such a tiring condition and Arkan watched her.

"What is it?" asked Arkan.

Lunar shook her head, still languidly leaning back on her body. She closed her eyes at this time and wanted to sleep for a while.

"You look pale. Are you sick?" Arkan rubbed his wife's forehead and found a high temperature.

"My stomach doesn't feel good, I think I ate wrong."

"That's no good. How about we stop by the hospital for a bit?"

"It's fine. If you rest for a bit, then it will get better soon."

"We can't ignore it. You must be treated immediately, at least we have to check it to know your condition. In a moment, I'll turn the car around."

Arkan looked back, turning the car slowly. They were almost at the house, but had to turn back again on the downtown route.

Lunar doesn't have the energy to move any more, so she just stays put. Arriving at the destination, Arkan woke his wife. He helped Lunar to go to the hospital and meet a doctor. There, Lunar checked her condition, then got the results.

"Congratulations to you who are going to be parents," said the doctor.

Arkan and Lunar exchanged glances. They were silent like statues before then looking at the doctor again as if to confirm what they had heard earlier.

"My wife is pregnant?"

"Correct. Your wife is pregnant and has been going on for three weeks. The size of the embryo in the womb is still so small that it looks more like a collection of cells than a baby. Even so, a collection of cells called blastocysts will continue to grow and multiply rapidly," explained the doctor to his astonished patient.
