I'm Tired, Love Me

Arlo Pov's

I know if he's blocking my contacts, and I don't want to make him stay away. I choose to be quiet. But my silence doesn't mean I don't look after her, especially if her husband has another woman. I assigned people to stand guard around his house, and informed me what was going on.

The man I assigned to report to me that Bagas didn't come home. I even assigned my bodyguard to stalk Bagas who turned out to come to the housing complex that I had. According to the information I got from my bodyguard, Bagas always stopped by the woman's house every day, and would come home at midnight, so that the neighbors did not know that they were not husband and wife.

That morning I received word that Rheyna was rushing to the clinic that was being monitored by the man I was assigned to. After the clinic turned out he went straight to the hospital, even according to the person who reported to me, Rheyna drove her car in a hurry. I was about to go to the office ordered Mr. Aman to take me to the hospital, but then I canceled because I was afraid Rheyna saw me, finally I decided to wait for every information I assigned.

Rheyna who is in need of support because her child is sick even Bagas did not accompany her, I want to accompany her to give her spirit, but now is not the time for me to come out to show who ‘AAT’ really is.

The next day I got word from Bagas' extended family through a family chat group that Vano Bagas and Rheyna's sons had passed away. I was in the office and called my wife,

“Ma, Vano Bagas' son died, mama went to the funeral? If I come home now, if I don't go straight to the funeral” I said shaken

“Iya I come, use a big car aja well, so my feet can be free because I am a little tired” said Lila asked us to ride Alphard just to the cemetery

“Whatever, I go home now” said I hung up the phone

When I arrived at the funeral, I wanted to feel like I was holding her, she who looked devoid of spirit, she who adorned her face with tears, her completely shabby appearance with swollen eyes, she said, and a black basin under his eyes, illustrating how exhausting his life was. He even fainted and I told Bagas to take his wife to rest in my car. When he woke up he came back like he had no spirit, just looking blankly at his son's headstone.

When the guests began to say goodbye, Lila and I said goodbye. After Lila shook Rheyna's hand, Bagas, and their parents, it was my turn to shake her hand, holding her tightly, I wanted to say ‘Cry in my arms’ but it all felt impossible, I was only able to say ‘the strong ya’ with a soft look, then I passed away.

“They are young, can still have another child” said Lila as we drove home, I don't know what that means

“You mean?”

“Yes do not be too late in sadness, trying to have another child is much better” said Lila lightly

“If man has a heart, he must feel what it's like to lose the person he loves, what else is this his child he held for nine months” I replied lazily, and Lila just kept quiet to hear my uncomfortable answer to her.

Every day I received reports that Rheyna never left the house, even Bagas who came home every day late at night was no longer doing his habit.

Suddenly, when I almost reached the front of the house, my man told me that Bagas was out of the house followed by Rheyna. I told him to keep following where they were going and keep giving information. I told Mr. Aman to turn my car back to the office, and I called my bodyguard to pick me up at the office immediately.

I'm heading to a place that's been in the infokan before. Housing where the lady stashed Bagas.

‘Maybe it's time you know all the truth, I will accompany you through all this’ I said muttering.

I approached her car, opened it and forced to sit behind the wheel, she who was confused initially rejected me, but then shifted her seat as I offered to lap her, I smiled behind the mask and the hat I was wearing, she was adorable.

I offered her to replace her car with the car of my man who was in the back of her car, again she refused, but I finally managed to move it so as not to be caught when we stalked her husband later. The truth is not for me but for Rheyna herself, because I already know all the behavior of Bagas behind Rheyna.

When a woman got out of Bagas' car and was followed by Bagas, Rheyna wanted to go down, but I prevented him because I didn't want him to look weak in front of two heartless people. Rheyna cried, covering her face. I told him to finish his tears at this moment, so that his natinya he could speak with decisiveness without looking weak. I gave her strength, clasped her hand and then pulled her hand so I could hug her. She was sobbing in my arms, I was happy to be able to hug her, caress her hair, be by her side when she needed someone to share.

After Bagas left the Mall, I offered Rheyna to rebuke Bagas here or in front of the pregnant woman's house, and Rheyna chose the woman's home instead, I agreed to it and drove back in the back of Bagas' car.

Right in front of the woman's house I stopped the car behind Bagas' car. Rheyna got out of the car, I was just waiting in the car because I didn't want to add to the problem if I came down and Bagas recognized me.

I don't know what Rheyna's talking about, which she sure looks tough, doesn't cry and she's not even angry. After he finished he got in the car and I drove the car quickly, leaving Bagas' house.

Rheyna wondered who I really was, and forced me to tell her that she turned her face away when I teased her. I pulled the car over and opened my mask and hat, and he was shocked to see me and couldn't believe it.

I offered her to go home, but Rheyna asked to be escorted to her parents' house, I said if she would make her parents worry by seeing her current condition look messy, finally Rheyna asked me to take her to the hotel alone, I did not answer it but I drove a car towards my apartment that I bought in secret without Lila's knowledge, because this is my hiding place when I want to be alone.

As we entered the elevator, there were two young men who entered the elevator, apparently a drunk young man, one standing near Rheyna, from his gaze was seen he wanted to approach Rheyna, I preceded him standing in the middle between him and Rheyna. The young man couldn't believe it when I told him that Rheyna was my wife, he even accused me of wanting to get close to Rheyna. The young man asked me to prove that Rheyna was my wife by kissing Rheyna's lips, I was worried at first but seeing that young man who kept trying to get close to Rheyna I finally ventured to lift his chin which was already lowered from the moment the young man entered, uttered “maaf” in a clean manner then kissed her, I just wanted to kiss her for a little while but somehow my lips didn't want to take her off, looking at her as if she was a little lulled in my kiss, even though she was surprised at first. He pushed me when the two young men came out of the elevator when the elevator stopped on the 35th floor.

I told Lila that today I was overtime because there was a project I had to complete.

I entered my apartment, told Rheyna to come in.

She asked me not to repeat the incident in the elevator, I knew she was a nice woman who didn't want to cheat.

She turned out to be a timid woman living alone, fortunately when she arrived at this apartment, she said, I sent a message to my man who took Rheyna's car home to pick up Rheyna's maid and the clothes and supplies Rheyna needed, and brought her own clothes that Rheyna had to accompany.

The maid couldn't believe that Rheyna was with me, so when my man called me with a video call I walked into Rheyna's room slowly, because I had already knocked her twice and she didn't answer, showed the maid that Rheyna was indeed with me, and I closed the video call.

He slept very well, he looked very heavy, I approached him justifying his blanket, rubbed his hair, looked fixed on his face, stole a kiss on his forehead, then decided to get out of the room, before I want more when I look at his lips.

When the maid arrived, the time had shown at 23:35, I decided to sleep on the sofa and the maid told me to sleep in the room.

When dawn came before me to perform my two rakaat prayers, then went into his room, looked back at his face that was still asleep, again stealing a kiss on his forehead.

I say goodbye to the maid I know Sari's name. Rushed home before Lila woke up from her sleep.
