Bima's Second Wife
chapter 30
When will the promise actually come true? Or did he forget his promise?
Haha.
The promise of a ten-year-old boy and a little girl who have just started school. Promises that can even be forgotten and are not important to remember. Maybe he was forced to promise me not to cry when he left. It's a silly promise to be together until old age. I don't know what the future will be like. Silly promise. Yes, it was a silly promise that made me cling to waiting for her until yesterday exactly four days ago, and because of my best friend's request I reneged on that promise by marrying her husband.
Never thought by me to be the second wife Pak Bima. But somehow seeing the look on her sad face made me melt and accept this marriage.
Lily pov end lil.

Bima Satria's.
Tonight is very bright. The moon is not only alone up there, visible even with a faint speck of starlight accompanying but does not dampen the beauty of the night. The wind that gently breezed, carrying the scent of the sea that I have not noticed since I was here. I really want to play on the beach. I miss the beach. Maybe tomorrow morning before my return to Jakarta I will take the time to greet the beautiful nature of God's creation.
I saw on the balcony of the room to my left, a girl in a soft pink dress standing with both hands resting on the fence. Both of his eyes were closed, his lips were smiling.
I kept watching Lily closely. Curious about what he was thinking. He kept smiling. I had absolutely no intention of waking her from her beautiful delusion. I'm enough to watch her from here, and I'm relieved that Lily's doing so much better than before.
Actually the reason I brought Lily to Bali was not for work reasons, but Adit! Adit's been targeting Lily, and I know Adit's nature. She does not give up easily even if she already has a husband. Adit did it once. Until a couple had a fight, but fortunately they did not get divorced. If I say Adit is reckless, yes, he is reckless. He said love, he said love. But I think Adit's just obsessed, because I know Adit's never serious. He doesn't care about other people's feelings. Anyhow he has to get what he wants. Even though the woman did not like him. Adit guy forcing. And I'd be sorry if I saw Lily was just gonna be Adit's next toy.
But it looks like my decision to bring him here left him hurt. Lily was the victim of harassment from my own colleague. Fucking shit! Even my husband never touched her!
The cup of coffee in my hand was already toilet, but Lily was still standing there. Lily was still busy with her dreams. At first glance I remember when he dreamed and called 'gold'. To whom did Lily call 'mas'? His lover? If Lily has a boyfriend why would Lily be in a match with me, a man who already has a wife? And what about her lover?
Nevermind! Next time I'll ask. Our marriage will only last one year. And I'm gonna tell Dena that if Lily can't get pregnant, then I'm gonna divorce her, and I'm gonna go back with just one wife, Dena! And I will influence Dena to adopt a child only.
And Lily agreed to my request!
I'm sorry, maybe I'm selfish, but I don't think I can be with a woman other than Dena.
The bima pov end.
