Get Out of School

Zain has just arrived at the hotel where he stayed in Jakarta. Zain called someone before cleaning himself up.

"Hello Rio"

"How's Zain?"

"It's very hard, the wound you inflicted is too deep for him"

"Yes I know that"

"Please, I'll help you. But you have to be patient, it takes time if you want to fix everything"

"Yes Zain, thank you for helping"

"What are you talking about?. Remember there is no word of thanks between us" Zain chuckled.

"Yes.iya.." Rio replied with a light laugh.

They also ended their calls. Zain put his phone on a bedside nightstand and into the bathroom to clean up. After a few minutes Zain came out of the bathroom using only his bathrobe. 

Zain sat on the edge of the bed. He's still thinking about Rena. It was still clear in her memory how Rena's face was so pale when she heard Rio's name.

…

A woman who was none other than his wife Rio, rubbed the shoulder of her husband sitting on his wheelchair. He looked at Rio and smiled.

"Be patient" said Debby.

"Yes, thank you and sorry "so said Rio smiled then clasped Debby's hand.

"Thank you and sorry for what?"

"Thank you that you're still by my side even though I hurt you so much, and I'm sorry that maybe this opens your wounds again" Rio said.

"We have agreed that we will not discuss this. Let's take our household well. Make the past a good lesson in the future. I'm sincere and again maybe not me who was so hurt, but he" said Debby.

"I don't really feel I deserve to have you. You are too good for me" Rio bowed his head.

Debby walked and sat down in front of her husband. She held her husband's hand tightly. His shady smile adorned his face.

"Mas don't ever say that again. I actually feel lucky. I can have Ayla and you. Now the Rio mas must focus on healing" said Debby, whose hand now turns rubbing Rio's cheek.

Rio clasped Debby's hand that touched his face. Then he kissed his palm.

Rio feels lucky to have Debby. When Rio is in a bad position, Debby is always by his side. Debby never complained. So many injuries Rio inflicted on Debby. Debby is so loyal.

Most women will leave their men if they are in Debby's position. Now Rio was determined to fix everything. Being a good husband and father.

 

It feels like today Albian is not eager to work. See how Rena smiles sweetly with other men. 

And now her heart gets more agitated when Rena's assistant says that Rena came home early. His face looks pale.

"Adrian, please take me home" said Albian who is now in the kitchen staff dressing room.

Adrian raised an eyebrow staring at Albian.

"I have business, can not quickly" 

"Ready chef. Let's go" replied Adrian 

It didn't take them long to get to Albian's apartment. Along the way Albian tells little of his anxiety to Adrian.

"Chef, do I need to accompany you?" Ask Adrian.

"Ga needs to" Albian replied while giving it to Adrian.

"Thank you" said Albian, patting Adrian on the shoulder.

Adrian just nodded.

Albian quickly steps into the apartment building. Albian goes straight to Rena's apartment unit.

Arriving in front of Rena's apartment unit, Albian presses the bell. I can't wait for Albian to open the door. The third time Albian pressed the bell, Rena opened the door.

The woman Albian was worried about had shown her face. Rena still wears her work clothes. With a little messy hair. His gaze is so sweet.

"Are you ok?" Ask Albian.

Instead of answering her question, Rena reentered her apartment. He sat on the sofa back.

Albian follows Rena into Rena's apartment. Rena's shoes and bag were seen strewn across the tv room. Albian sat down with Rena. It felt like her heart was burning to see Rena shed her tears.

They were quite long in silence. Rena's distant looking. I don't know what to think. Her tears continued to wash her cheeks.

"Since I was a kid I saw how my mom got hurt. I don't know, my papa's the one who seduces women or the one who seduces women. Mama was silent when papa brought her woman home. And I watched how my papa fucked that woman" Rena closed her eyes." It's disgusting" he said again

"I hate women so much" Rena opened her eyes and laughed. "And it turns out I'm part of them. I hurt two women. I really hate myself. I thought I was the one who betrayed. But in reality, I caused them her husband to betray" Rena's voice trembled uttering that.

"Seven years have passed Al, but why the pain remains the same. Is this a punishment for me?" Rena's words are getting louder.

Bruck..

Suddenly Rena fell with her eyes locked. Lucky Albian quickly captures Rena's body.

"Ren. Rena wakes up" Albian frantically wakes Rena up by patting her cheek but not a wake-up visit.
