Clandestine

A Secret Again

We both fell silent inside

automaker. I who sat in the back then had to focus myself on the road

up ahead, though my mind has not calmed down since. Reinard is also

didn't say a word since our car left the hotel basement.

We are probably monologuing with our own minds

now it's.

“Do your injuries hurt?”

I break the silence. In the beginning I wanted to treat the wounds

that is so that there is no infection and the bruise gets worse. But I haven't

doing it other than because I have not found a mini market, I still want to

let Reinard calm himself first.

“Slight.” Reinard replied with

low voice.

I breathe out slowly. My eyes

suddenly saw a minimarket plaque a few meters in front of us. Without

requesting Reinard's approval, I turned my car into the minimarket court

which looks lonely. To see Reinard not protest, means

my husband doesn't mind if I want to stop for a drink and

some antiseptic drugs to clean the wound.

“Wait here yes, I bought

betadine first.” I said while raising the brake hand. When my hand is stretched out to

opening the car door, Reinard suddenly pulled me into his arms.

“I love you Jul..”

Reinard hugged me tightly.

I didn't answer. In spite of

my heart is incredibly happy, but the present is not the time to

termhek-mehek heard Reinard expressing his feelings for me for umpteenth

this time.

“I go down first buy medicine to make

your first wound huh?” I said.

Reinard let go of his embrace,

then open the coat he wears.

“your clothes are too open Jul.”

he wrapped my body in the suit he was wearing. “Also cold.”

I smiled a little. My clothes

it's a little open now, and I really appreciate Reinard's attention

although the condition is a little less good.

I got out of the car and

enter the minimarket. I took sterile gauze, betadine and cottonbut, no

I forgot to take mineral water and some bread because we haven't eaten the same

once.

When I get out the door

minimarket, I saw Reinard was already outside and sitting on a bench on

in front of this minimarket.

“Ngapain kaluar out?” winds

night hit my face. “Cold Rei.”

He looks. “I need air

fresh.” Said.

I breathe, then

he followed and sat beside her.

“Then I clean it

your wound is here.” I said while trying to open the lid of the mineral water now

i'm holding. But no matter what the circumstances, I still had the most trouble doing

that thing. Reinard, who can read I mean, immediately took over the water

mineral it and open it easily.

“Thanks.” My words accept

the bottle that now had the lid loosened it.

I poured a little water over

I used it to clean up some of Reinard's facial wounds.

After that I just dried it and put a thin betadine on it

the wound area. Several times I saw Reinard grimacing, but I didn't

cared. Wasn't all this the result he got himself?

“Rei...” Call me slowly

put betadine on his wound.

“Hmm..

“Can I ask?”

Reinard didn't answer, and I

you can interpret it as consent.

“Do you know Daniel?”

“No.”

I stopped my work

for a moment and my eyes turned to look at his eyes which were now staring in the direction

others. I sighed for a while before finally returning to the rest

the wounds on Reinard's face.

“Continue, why are you fighting?”

I finished my work and straightened my seat. Now I really

focus on Reinard.

Reinard has not answered. Seconds

two seconds I didn't see him start to open his mouth.

“Rei!” call me with a tone

sound is rather high. “If you do not know him, why pack events—“

Reinard hugged me back

Again..again.

hugged me every time I tried to ask clearly what happened

to him?

“Jul..

discuss it now?” ask her while holding me tightly. As if I would

run if he doesn't do that.

I was silent without speaking. Why

he always silenced me with his romantic side whenever I wanted to

reading it with a lot of questions?

*****

If Reinard won't give me

answer, at least I still have Daniel that I can force to open

mouthparts. Judging from his type, Daniel is a person who can open his mouth

easily—not as neat as Reinard.

This morning, I was direct

turned my car into his office parking lot before I even got inside

my own office building. I want to immediately answer the question since

last night tortured my heart and made me unable to sleep well.

Fortunately, the man is now

was in his room when I came, though I saw he was new too

just draped his leather jacket and signified that he had also just arrived.

“And, we need to talk!” say

to the point, ignoring the sentence—‘how are you semalem And?—when

looking at his face that was more or less as battered as Reinard.

“Eh, tumben no wind what lo

come to my office Jul? Early again. Usually even if I force you too

ikan will not want.” I hate the way Daniel pretended not to know

like those. Though I was certain, he was more than aware of my arrival

hither.

“No need to pretend!” me

I fold both my hands in front of my chest.

Daniel smiled in a corner

her lips. Instead of answering me, he invited me to sit down. “Sitting

jul.want to drink what?”

“Now!” reject me firmly without

budging. “Gue here do not want to ask for a drink, because in my office there are also many

water!”

Daniel was gripped, he leaned

his body on the edge of the table then looked at me.

“Why Jul? Can't you do it

sleeping all?’

“Iya!”

“Terus why are you here? Wanted

have dinina-bobo’in same me?”

“Not to joke!” my tukas.

“Gue here to ask, there is a problem whether you are with my husband until you guys

messing up Dimas semalem's wedding?”

“Well, why did you ask me? Ask

sono same husband lo.”

I didn't answer.

If my husband wants to tell me,

it can't be this early I lose my ego and stand in your office

here, bego! My inner.

“Suami lo don't want to tell?”

Daniel smiled at the corner of his lips again. I hate that smile

like those.

“Nggak.” Answer me with a voice

low. “means I came here.”

Daniel put both his hands together

into his pants pocket and walked over to me.

“Gue will tell you about Jul,

but stay with that man and marry me. How?”

“Lo crazy!!” my sorrows

controllable. Yes, I may want to leave the person I love the most

to get an answer from a guy like Daniel. Anyways

since when did he become stingy to open a secret like this anyway? Usually without

he was asked to open his mouth, even for useless things

even if.

“That's not going to be me

lacin.” I turned around, about to leave because it was useless to stand here for so long.

Besides, I promised myself that Reinard had the right to keep

own secrets. Well, I guess now I'm just spending time for the sake of

this useless thing.

“Lo sure that your husband

really love lo?” daniel's question suddenly forced me

stopping step.

“Means lo?” I'm not looking, though,

but my forehead is wrinkled.

“Lo is in a hurry to get married

Jul, when you have absolutely no idea who your real husband is.”
