Rania immediately shifted her eyes.
"I want yours. Can you?"
"Of course." Malik returns to feed Rania.
"Looks like tiramisu taste better."
"Again .. again ..." Another spoon went into Rania's mouth.
The pair of eyes that had been looking towards the two of them were getting hotter looking at this scene. Rania did it on purpose, but Malik was not aware since then that there were eyes watching him.
From the corner of her eyes Rania knew Barra was walking towards her and Malik.
"Ran .. "greet Barra. He looks fascinated by Rania's appearance. And at the same time she was also hot to see him with other men. "Who is he?"
Rania did not answer Barra's question. He did not even look at the man's face. The man she loved the most, but also the one who hurt her the most.
"Malik .. We go home now."
"You didn't spend your dessert? Didn't you say it was delicious?"
"I'm full already." Rania stand. He just passed by without answering Barra. But Barra did not stay still, she pulled Rania's hand until Rania could not go any further.
"Get your hands off!!!" a gripping sound came out of Malik's mouth. He stood up then grabbed Rania's hand which was being held by Barra.
Malik and Barra had never met before. But seeing from the incident Malik can conclude that the man in front of him is Barra, Rania's husband.
"You don't have to interfere!" reply Barra. The two men threw hostile gazes at each other.
"Malikn ... Let's get out of here" Rania said, hiding her face from the two men.
Rania is indeed ready to meet Hanna and her in-laws, but to meet Barra she is not ready. Her heart was sliced back as she recalled all her treatment of her, remembering how she had to be stuck in the streets because Barra kicked her out, remembering how painful it was when she had to lose her baby, how Barra had a lavish reception, while she was in her recovery. And Barra didn't even ask her how she was.
Rania ran away leaving the two men.
"You are no longer entitled to him! Stay away from her!!!" menacam Malik's.
"I am still her husband legally! You must stay away from him!!!"
"It won't be long!" Malik runs after Rania to the car park. Up there she finds Rania leaning against the car while holding back her tears. The woman's body in her arms.
There was no sobbing, but Rania's tears instantly flowed once she was already in Malik's arms.
"We go home" he said slowly, opening the car door for Rania.
On the way home, they were both silent. Malik dissolved in his own mind. She felt that Rania still could not forget Barra, so she did not want to answer her question this morning regarding the status of the relationship they are living in now.
Meanwhile Rania also dissolved in her own mind. Rania was very disappointed. He hoped at least Barra would ask him how he was doing first. However, the clothes worn by Rania now show that Rania's stomach is slender as before. But Barra didn't even notice. Is this a sign that he still expects it?
* * *
Rania's phone is ringing.
"Hello ... "
"Hello, good afternoon. I'm Mr. Affandi's assistant, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Mr Affandi wants to meet you. When do you have time?" ask for a voice across the phone.
"When."
"okay."
"Thank you .. Good afternoon." Phone's closed.
Rania smiled but also thumped. Is this the right move he took.
At exactly 7pm Rania was already at the promised restaurant. Wearing a graceful and classy evening dress, Rania looks confident, unlike the wife her husband has wasted. Far from shabby as when she was Barra's wife.
Rania was already greeted by the waiter at the door to inquire about the reservation. He was taken to the VVIP room. Rania knew Affandi was not an arbitrary person so there was no way she would be invited to meet at an ordinary restaurant.
Before entering the room, Rania first sent a message to Malik.
I was in the VVIP room of restaurant X to meet Affandi. Find me if my number can't be reached.
Rania doesn't want to be distracted. He tells Malik to be on guard in case Affandi does anything beyond his expectations.
Rania prepared her mentality. He knows nothing about Affandi other than what he hears from the mass media. They described Affandi as arrogant and unable to negotiate.
Rania entered the room. A grown man who was not too old welcomed him. Just like Rania saw on television, Aaron Affandi.
The man stood up and shook Rania's hand.
"How are you? I'm Aaron Affandi," welcome the man. Far from what the media describes, Affandi seems friendly. He also did not look awkward nor keep his distance.
"I'm Rania," Rania replies throwing a smile. Affandi greeted him kindly, so he also replied to him kindly.
"Please sit ..."
"Thank you." Rania sat down at the prepared place. All sorts of food was in front of him.
"Thus ... What do you want to talk about?" ask Affandi straight to the point.
"I want to talk about my marital status, your son, and your daughter-in-law, or rather my husband."
"Yes .. indeed I was surprised when my secretary delivered your message. I don't know anything about Hanna's husband, but I can't believe your words either."
"This ... " Rania took out some evidence from inside her bag. "That is, my wedding photo with Barra, your current daughter-in-law. And this is our marriage certificate and also our marriage book. All original. We are still legal as husband and wife."
Affandi looked through all the evidence brought by Rania and examined them one by one. He handed it to his assistant to be checked for authenticity.
After a while his assistant returned all the documents while nodding.
"okay ... So what do you really want?" ask Affandi while folding his hands on the table.
"I'm here to talk about this issue in a good way, mmm ... arguably in a family way. I know you are a big influence in this city. A little bad news about you and your family can affect your good name, especially if the news is that your child has become pregnant out of wedlock and snatch someone's husband."
"That's not how much." Rania took something out of her bag. A piece of paper that had overturned his life, the paper of sp*rma Barra's analysis.
"Barra, your son-in-law and also my husband proved barren." Rania handed the paper to Affandi.
Affandi read the paper and was stunned.
"So can you conclude? Whose child did your daughter have?"
Affandi really did not expect to find any shocking facts about his daughter. He had thought that Barra's wife only wanted to take advantage of this moment to ask for money from him. I don't think Rania has given any real and irrefutable evidence.
