Grasping Taste

Grasping Flavor 42

"This is my wife" said Sabda, aware of Aruna's presence beside her.

"Aruna.." said Aruna by presenting a smile as friendly as possible despite the taste that was quite stuck when he saw the woman in front of him.

"Anindita..." The woman with long hair draped welcomed Aruna's hand.

His gaze was full of inquiring, as if wanting to know what was special from the woman in front of him until a Megantara Word chose to have it.

Surviving the Word's shock of Aninditha's presence began to subside. Their conversation continued to flow comfortably, as if forgetting the existence of Aruna.

"Mas, I'll sit down!?" pamit Aruna who answered a smile and nod by the Word. The man was still busy talking to Anin about work and slipped a discussion about the story of the past.

Somehow I saw a woman named Anin whose attitude was very different to Mas Sabda. Something stuck in my mind every time I saw the way he looked at Mas Sabda. I saw that look full of puja. Yes, even occasionally the woman looks blushed.

Like at the moment they look so engrossed in talking without caring about me sitting alone here. Could it be that I am so sensitive? Because in the end, I was very crybaby.

"Hae, Run." Andrean. I smiled at him.

"Where, Mas sabda? I was late because I had to take Mama to check." explained Andrean. I just saw Mas Sabda's confidant here.

"Mas Sabda is chatting with his partner" I replied as I turned my gaze to the two people who were still engrossed in laughter.

"Anin.." murmured Andrean who was still heard by me. The man stared for a moment at the woman. A look I don't know, I can't interpret it myself.

"You know him?" I asked Andrean who had been staring at the woman for too long.

Instead of replying, Andrean left me and walked over to Mas Sabda, the man in the brown skin whispered something to Mas Sabda to make my husband see me.

I do not know what Andrean said to Mas Sabda until the man stepped with a serious face towards me.

"Darling, you want to take a break?" tanya Mas Sabda made me nod immediately. I just follow the plot, Andrean might have said that to Mas Sabda for a certain reason that I do not know.

Aruna was still silent when the sedan car driven by Sabda began to enter the residential area. He was eager to ask who the woman really was.

The car stops right in front of the house in front of the house. Aruna went straight inside after closing the gate.

"Run, can't you make me some coffee?" tanya Sabda asks Aruna to make coffee. He felt very sleepy but had to check on work.

"Yes, Mas. For a moment, I didn't put the bag down." replied Aruna. Although she actually felt her body weak but Aruna knew serving her husband was an obligation for her.

After replacing her headscarf with a home-based bergo, Aruna walked towards the kitchen. But his steps came to a halt when Anin's name sent him a message that was somehow contained. Aruna herself has not yet opened her husband's phone.

It is undeniable that Aruna still thinks with her curiosity. His brain was still managing and considering asking one by one what was stuck in his mind.

"Darling, is it?" ask Sabda. The man had changed his shirt and his face looked fresh due to water washing.

"I see, Mas, very close to Aninditha" said Aruna. He was so hard to find the right sentence to ask who Aninditha really was.

Hearing Aruna's question, Sabda looked at his wife for a moment. He did not understand, among the many guests why it was only Aninditha that Aruna asked.

"If you don't want to answer it doesn't matter." Aruna looked at the disappointed Word. He also did not want to force the man in front of him to answer because he was sure answered or not that was definitely an unpleasant thing to hear.

"He's my ex-boyfriend. She's my First Love." answered the Word made Aruna feel something that was pouring straight into her heart. Pain and pain ambush immediately in the heart. Her husband admitted that without any burden, without wanting to know what Aruna felt after hearing her confession.

"Why did you break up." continued Aruna to the responsibility, she also wanted to know the story of her husband's past.

"Mama did not approve it, even Mama returned Anin to Batam. Mama just said Anin is not the right girl for me." answered Sabda then sipped coffee made by Aruna to the toilet.

Meanwhile, Aruna only heard all the stories. It felt like his tongue was a bit confused as he wanted to continue his question.

"Mas, to the study first." said the Word, then took the flat object and left Aruna who was still staring at her back that was flying disappeared.

Aruna just stared at the departure of Sabda with a glaring look. Without him knowing it, the man left pain in his wife's heart.

Aruna then took a deep breath, trying to think positively. She loves the Word and may even love her so much that she feels so possessive of the man who has made her fall deeply in love.

Tita decides to stop by Aruna's boutique after sending a message about Aruna's whereabouts. But Aruna instead asked her to accompany herself in the cafe.

Aruna tidied up her hijab. He'll meet Tita and spend lunch together.

With a leisurely pace Aruna walked out of the boutique. His eyes circulate looking for the whereabouts of Tita or Tita's own car. With a deep smile, Aruna walked over to Tita who was still enjoying a glass of juice in front of her.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ta." said Aruna as she stood in front of her best friend.

"Waalaikumsalam greetings, Run. God is beautiful to you, Run. I thought you were wearing a hijab at the wedding reception." said Tita still staring fixedly at Aruna. His gaze was full of admiration. Aruna was beautiful even though she was tiny.

"Here is may Istiqomah." answered Aruna so steadily. Aruna is always firm in principle, so he will think a thousand times to decide something.

"I see you pale, Run?" tita asked as she looked carefully at Aruna's face.

"I'm sick, Ta. But you know, right, I'm most anti-doctor... "

"Because of the syringe?" sela Tita who has memorized Aruna.

"Not everyone who checks into the doctor is injected, Run." continued Tita.

"But I'm starting to feel good. So there's no need to see a doctor, I'm just managing my lifestyle." Aruna is still tight. He is also the most lazy to deal with doctors.

As they talked about many things, Aruna caught someone staring at her in full search. She did not expect to see Anin at the cafe near her boutique with Puspita.

"Maybe the woman has met, Mas Sabda?" Aruna muttered in her heart. Somehow when he met the woman his brain was always guessing and his heart grasped a taste that was so difficult to express.
