Doctor Steven's Charm

48 - At Yogyakarta Part II

Rimba lowered his head. He took a deep breath, gathering strength and courage. She can't lie to her husband, can she?

"Hmm, all this time I took the Pill KB," said Rimba honestly. He could no longer bear to keep her alone.

Steven was surprised but he chose silence, his gaze was nimble, away towards the street ahead there.

"I'm just not ready to get pregnant and have children" Rimba continued. "I want to finish school, and be a doctor like you, Steve. Didn't we ever agree not to rush to have children, right?" added a little emotional.

Steven's face changed a little. His hands that originally hugged the shoulder of the Jungle pulled him. He was obviously disappointed, to the point of being angry. Rimba does not need to keep anything secret from him, nor does it need to do that until it is as fast as it can be.

"Why aren't you honest? why did you choose to make that happen with me?" asked Steven coldly. His tone was flat, Rimba could feel that Steven was angry at his actions. "Is talking honestly with your husband difficult, Rim? huh uh?"

"I've been saying the same to you from the beginning of marriage. But I'm afraid you don't agree" I'm Jungle.

"Obviously I don't agree!" steven is angry. "It should be from the beginning that you are open, we can talk seriously about this matter. Don't make your own decisions. Is it not the act of a married woman closing her uterine valve, is it forbidden to do so without her husband's permission?" Steven's eyes seemed fiery, he felt the Jungle touched his pride as the husband's right, and made him almost plunge free to the bottom of the sea.

Rimba choked to hear a high note from Steven that he had never heard so far. There was one room in the corner of her heart that ached as her husband's shady and loving face turned stiff with his sturdy jaw hardened, holding in anger.

"But I don't want to get pregnant. Have children, and later even bothered by this that makes my learning concentration crumbles." The jungle raised its voice an octave.

"Keep that justifies all your behavior? you secretly took the pill for three months, while I kept feeling like a weak man for not being able to get you pregnant? everything is because of you. Does that mean you don't really love me Rim? You indirectly rejected the seed I planted in there," Steven no longer snapped. He speaks in a flat, piercing and intimidating fashion, as is his custom.

"No that!" hissing Rimba. He was unable to continue his words. Rimba's cry broke, he ran into the room, slamming his body into the bed. Hiding her face in a pillow, she did not want to look chaotic in front of her husband who even accused her that she did not love Steven. Rimba has tried to be honest. It just needs to be heard, calmed down, not even pressured.

"I'm out!" pamit Steven who chose to shy away from bigger fights. He grabbed his jacket, slammed the hotel door and went somewhere.

It turns out Steven went to a bar and club that is quite famous in Yogyakarta. He was not alone, but accompanied by Mr. Wiro who was paid Marco to always be ready to take wherever the couple went.

"Mas!" Mr. Wiro shakes Steven's body.

Steven shakes. He had never been drunk like this before. In fact, it's been a long time since Steven touched any more high-alcohol drinks. His frustration at the circumstances that befell his new household was no longer in control. He was angry at himself who could not understand the Jungle, even at the Jungle who somehow did not want to understand it a little.

"Why don't you want to have a child with me, Rim?" steven muttered in his semi-conscious state.

"Mas, we should go back to the hotel yes," persuaded Mr. Wiro again hope Steven will move away from his place now.

"Hem," hissed Steven once again gulped down the Bourbon he ordered.

"It's yo Mas, we're back now," said Mr. Wiro again a little pushy.

Steven shook off Mr. Wiro's hand, not wanting to be disturbed. Mr. Wiro was confused himself, what should he do now? should he force Steven out of that place?

Suddenly Mr. Wiro's eyes caught the figure of the wife of this drunk man from a distance.

"Rimba Bulbs!" call Mr. Wiro to wave. Didn't expect that it turned out that the wife of his master was also in the same place. 'why didn't you just go together?' his inner.

Feeling ignored the call, Mr. Wiro then approached.

"Bak, that's Steve Keliatane's mas drunk heavily" Mr Wiro told the woman sitting alone at his desk drinking and eating fries.

"Yes?" the woman looked up at Mr. Wiro, a stranger.

"That's her husband Mbak'e drunk there, is it best to take her back to the hotel?" obviously Mr. Wiro with both eyes that already look tired. Also frenetic music in the club that makes it more uncomfortable and even more dizzy.

"My husband?" The woman who turned out Rimiko frowned confusedly.

"Come on Ma'am!" Mr. Wiro forced the woman to look at Steven's condition.

"Rimba, Rim!" racau Steven's.

"Yes tow Mbak, Mas'e jok de wau garwane nimbali asmane panjenengan," (His mother from earlier called your name continuously) said Mr. Wiro.

Rimiko nodded despite not understanding what it meant, then sat down beside Steven, looking at the seemingly familiar man in his memory. Touching Steven's arm that was looking down. 'Your face is still the same from the beginning it turns out yes, ' Rimiko's mind smiled.

"Hi Steve," he called her softly.

Steven turned his head, his forehead furrowing to the extreme. But the man chose to be quiet.

"I didn't expect to see you again" said Rimiko.

"Who are you?" asked Steven in his unconsciousness. He shook his hand which Rimiko touched.

"You're Steven, right?"

"Don't hold-hold! I already have a wife! Rimba his name," jolted Steven ketus. Although Rimiko has the same face as Rimba, but it turns out that under his consciousness, Steven is very aware of which is his wife and which is not.

"Steve, don't you want me? I'm Rimiko, we met in Tokyo." She touched Steven's hand again. Rimiko could not help her happiness. Then he showed me the photo in his wallet that was the same as Steven had. "Do you remember this photo?" tanyakanya.

Steven slowly raised his face to look at the photo in Rimiko's hand. "You're not him" he muttered, shaking his head.

Seeing Steven while drunk like this actually makes a Rimiko feel challenged. "You promised to marry me before" said Rimiko, deliberately sticking her body to Steven.

Steven clucked, pushing Rimiko's body away. His face looks upset.

"Go no!" snapped Steven coldly. "I said I'm a married man, don't make your body smell that sticky on my body and make my wife more angry and jealous! you're not a jungle!" banish him.

Rimiko took her body away from Steven. "The jungle?" he murmured while remembering something. 'Isn't that my name before it's changed?' his mind suddenly became confused.

Steven mumbled indistinctly. Sipped again his drink that has been served many times by the bartender.

"Never touch me!" said Steven increasingly shy away from the body figure of Rimiko.

Mr. Wiro who was there seemed confused by the attitude of Steven who even expelled his own wife.

"Mas, that's Mbak Rimba. Why was he expelled?" tanyanya Pak Wiro's.

"She's not my wife, sir"

"Huh?"

"Sir Wiro, take me to the hotel now!" steven finally stood up. With a little stagger with the help of Mr. Wiro, Steven finally returned to the hotel.

While Rimiko is still glued to her place. The woman also turned out to come all the way to Indonesia just to find the truth.

He who does not experience amnesia but is forced to create moments of childhood in his memory that he never experienced at all.

In addition to the figure of Steven, Rimiko did experience his meeting with the man in his past. And the photo of the two of them at that time was indeed him.
