Forced Marriage as Love
The Part 84
The next day...
They are currently in the dining room for breakfast together. A moment of togetherness that is always there almost every morning. This morning too, Raka will invite Jiana to visit one of the orphanages that she had attended yesterday.
After breakfast, they prepared. After saying goodbye to Bi Lastri, they immediately rushed to their destination. Along the way, Jiana simply stared out the window in bewilderment. Her husband did not tell her where to take her this time. Sometimes she glanced at her husband who was focusing on his steering wheel.
"Mas, where are we going anyway? It seems not in the direction of the office," said Jiana because she was curious since earlier. Raka smiled briefly as she looked at his wife. He refocused on his wheel. Feeling neglected, Jiana leaned herself against Raka's arm. She struggled spoiled while occasionally staring at her husband's face.
"Mas," call Jiana softly.
"Hmmm.."
"Where are you taking me anyway?" jiana asked a second time. Raka looked at his wife then kissed her forehead gently. Then switch focus on the wheel again. Feeling neglected again, Jiana just swept her lips and looked at her husband in annoyance. He re-settle his sitting position and prefers to look out the window. Seeing his wife's adorable expression like that, made Raka hold back her laughter. It was so funny and adorable in his eyes.
Until in the end the vehicle they were riding began to enter the yard that was so foreign to Jiana. He was more curious after seeing a writing of the "Griya Indah" home that they had passed earlier.
"Honey, we have arrived" said Raka. He took off his seat belt and looked at his wife.
"Mas, isn't this..." Jiana said while looking at her husband. Raka nodded before the sentence his wife said was completed.
"Come, I will introduce you to all of them" said Raka. They got out of the car and walked straight to Irin's room.
"Mom, this is my wife Jiana. Honey, this is Ms. Irin, the caretaker of this orphanage," Raka said, introducing the two of them. Ms. Irin and Jiana shook hands and smiled kindly. The three of them chatted for a moment before heading to the children's quarters.
Moments later, Irin takes Raka and Jiana to meet with her foster child. At the moment, there are not many children he is raising. Because many of them are already adopted by adoptive parents who can better guarantee their lives and futures.
"Kids, let's introduce you. This is Mr. Raka and Ms. Jiana" Ms. Irin told her foster children. They immediately rushed over and alternately shook hands with Raka and Jiana.
"I really want to mas" Jiana replied and then covered her mouth with both palms. He felt very happy just by watching and playing with them. And of course this is a little treat his inner wounds due to the pressure will be difficult to have a child.
Seeing his wife so happy, Raka felt relieved. For a long time, he had almost forgotten how Jiana could be this happy. He grabbed his wife by the shoulder and gently kissed the top of her head.
"Thank God, finally the happy smile came back to my wife. Jiana, I will definitely do my best for you," Inner Raka.
"Then I stay first. Miss Irin, I'm taking my wife" Raka said. He also could not stay there for long because he had to work. After that, Raka headed to his office to work while Jiana spent her time with the children in the orphanage.
Jiana was so enthusiastic about helping Miss Irin take care of them. Happiness came from his face. For so long, happiness was lost in him. Now, thanks to them, Jiana's smile seemed to come back again. Ms. Irin was also happy. Because, the foster children are also happy with the presence of Jiana there.
Starting from playing, helping to learn, and others Jiana also participated in it. Their presence had made Jiana's world bright again.

Time seems to go by so fast. After helping Ms. Irin prepare lunch for the children, now Jiana helped bring food for them.
"Miss, don't forget to eat too," said Ms. Irin approaching Jiana. Jiana smiled broadly as she looked at Irin's mother.
"Call Jiana ma'am. Oh yes, thank you for letting me here ma'am" Jiana said. Miss Irin nodded slowly.
"I am the one who is happy. Children are more eager to learn. Honestly, I also rarely accompany them to play or study. Because I am also busy with other affairs," said Ms. Irin while looking at her foster children who were eating voraciously.
"Actually I also really want to have a baby as soon as possible mom. But God has not allowed us to have it. I am lucky, my husband is very understanding. As a wife, this is pressure for me. I felt that I was not perfect being a wife for her" Jiana said, smiling bitterly as she imagined how pitiful she was. Ms. Irin who seemed to understand Jiana's sadness could only comfort her as much as she could.
"Patience is the key to all problems. I'm sure, someday you will definitely be able to get that happiness," said Ms. Irin then smiled. He grabbed Jiana's hand and rubbed it. As if giving support so that he remains patient and not desperate.
