A Reply to My Husband

Job Search

It's been almost a month Rania miscarried. Malik could not forbid him from normal activities because he had completely recovered. When he has no practice schedule, he must visit Rania, just visit, take her for a walk or eat outside.

Rania has also started looking for work. Actually, if he wanted he could apply to his workplace first because he still had some acquaintances there. But that would make him have to meet Barra because Barra still works at the company.

Rania walked into her yard. He found Malik already sitting on the porch seat.

"Where from?" Malik stared at the disheveled look of Rania and her clothes were soaked in sweat.

"Finding a job" answered Rania.

"Street?"

Rania shakes. "Good angkot."

Malik raised his eyebrows "...?"

"I have to save my expenses until I get a job."

"Can?" Rania is back.

"Ran .. I can give you a job if you want, I can also buy you a car so you don't have to bother taking public transport everywhere."

"no need. Would you buy me a private plane if you knew I was on a commercial plane?"

"Not so either ... But look at that. Your clothes are soaked in sweat. And also .... " Malik closes his nose ". .. smell."

Rania shrugged her shoulders at the fool.

"Ngeyel!" pinching Rania's cheeks. "Let's go in. I brought lunch." Malik picked up the food he was carrying.

"Didn't you have a spare key? Why wait outside?" rania asked while unlocking the door.

"I'm lazy to be alone inside."

Inside the house...

Rania immediately took a shower because Barra asked for it. Rania has been riding in public transportation, so she is afraid that there is a virus or germ attached to Rania's body and causes Rania to contract the disease. Meanwhile Malik prepared the food he had brought at the dinner table.

Malik had already filled the house full of furniture and other electronic items even though Rania did not ask for them.

Barra turned on the television in the living room while waiting for Rania to finish. His replacement continued the tv channel because there was no show he liked.

"Wait ...! Don't replace it, "prevent Rania when she accidentally sees a gossip show.

"We'll just eat here."

Malik kept silent to see that Rania had brought all the food she had prepared to the table in front of her.

"It is up to you that matters to eat with you .." - seduced Malik.

Then the two of them ate in front of the television while watching a gossip show.

"Since when have you liked to see gossip?"

"Since you forbid me to do any activities," Rania replied casually as she continued to look towards the television.

"I used to watch Korean dramas, but no national television channel shows Korean dramas so yeah ..."

Rania was silent before finishing her sentence. His eyes were glued to the tv screen and mute.

"Yes ... how?" malik asked to hear Rania's story further, but Rania did not answer.

"Melan ..." Rania is still silent.

Malik also stared at the tv screen and watched what Rania was seeing until she looked like that.

"News about a social media artist named Hanna who is also the son of an influential person married to a businessman. His show was sumptuously titled in a star hotel."

"Rone ... You're all right? You knew her?" Malik still doesn't understand what's going on.

Rania remained silent. His chest rumbled to watch the news. Anger, heartache, vengeance become one.

"So he's a social media artist? And his parents are influential people?! I didn't even get to find out who he was." Ranai muttered to himself.

"You know them?" ask Malik again.

"That's my husband and she's the woman .. the woman who claims to be pregnant with her child!"

"You still think he's your husband?" malik asked a little disappointed.

"Legally, he's still my husband! The rest he's nobody to me."

"Rone ... Look at me ... " Rania looked over.

"Why are you silent about what you've been through?"

Malik thought maybe this was the right time to talk about his desire for revenge to them. That desire she endured all this time because she wanted to keep the feelings of Rania who may not be ready to face them or maybe she still loves her husband.

"I would love to reply to them but it must be with your consent. Because of them, we lost our child-to-be. Would you let me do it?"

Rania remained silent.

"Why are you silent? Do you still love him?"

Rania remained silent.

"I don't take Rania either, I lost my son!"

"I'll think about it first."

I'll do it myself Malik. Maybe I need your help and support. But the rest, I will avenge them myself.

Rania shut off the television immediately. "It's .. We just eat."

* * *

"Hello..."

"What's Ran ...?"

"May I borrow your car tomorrow morning? the most expensive if possible?"

"Hm ... Where are you going? Wear the most expensive of all?"

"Why is that?"

"It's okay, just not like your character," Malik laughed on the other end of the phone.

"Tomorrow in the morning please take you home."

The next day early in the morning Malik had delivered the car that Rania meant. He just went inside the house because he knew Rania was inside.

"Ran ..." cried Malik looking for Rania.

"Yes .... I'm in the room!" rania replied from her room. "I've cooked breakfast, you eat first, I'm not done yet" he continued, shouting from inside the room.

"Have you eaten?" malik asked quietly as he was already standing in front of the door of Rania's room.

"Not ... You go first."

"No ... I'm waiting for you. What are you doing anyway?!"

Not long after the door opened. Rania came out of the room and she looked beautiful. She put a little make up on her face like never before. And wear a pastel color dress that is simple but looks elegant once worn by him. Her long, straight hair she let loose with a slight curly touch at the ends. With heels that match her dress, Rania looks elegant like classy women in general.

Malik. She reflexively walked up to Rania and immediately wanted to kiss her lips.

"You can't kiss me as easily as Malik," said Rania before Malik could even land his lips.

"A little can't?!"

"No! I don't want my make up to be damaged" replied Rania indifferently.

Malik laughed. "You're starting to get tough again!" put a kiss on her cheek.

"Say where do you go and how pretty is this?"

"Do something useful" Rania replied casually.

"Can I come?"

"No."

"You're gonna meet somebody?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Male?"

"Maybe ... Are you jealous?"

"Yes" Malik replied firmly. "Can't you dress like that to apply for a job?!"

Rania laughs. Rania hasn't laughed like this in a long time.

Malik feels something is awkward with Rania, and and as beautiful as this and borrowed his car, even then choose the most expensive because Malik has several cars.

"Yes is yes ... I'm gonna go. You have your own breakfast."

"...?"
