Long River

Feelings

The temple took Leka to a long table containing various kinds of buffet food and in other corners there is also a medium-sized table that contains food of different types.

"Well, this looks like a wedding in our village, huh?"

Temple laughs little. "Yes, you're right. In the same city. The wedding was like."

"What is this event?" Leka's innocence made Candi could not help her smile.

"This is my birthday party."

"Oh .. but we don't bring gifts?"

"Oh, Mr. Chris sent the card."

"Oh, so. I don't know." Leka's face was really funny back then. Candi was anxious to hear her question. Moreover, her makeup was very beautiful that night.

"Why don't I ever see you out of the apartment again? Didn't you live in Orchid(Anggrek)'s apartment?"

"Oh .. My husband wouldn't let me out if I wasn't with him." Leka who had already taken the plate, looked around at the food she wanted to take.

Ah, what a pity. Her husband is now watching her.

"But what if you want to buy food?"

"Night, shopping in the supermarket is the same husband."

"Oh, so." Difficult too, right? "Why don't you just open a restaurant? I see you're trade-talented."

"Mc ... I haven't thought about it yet" Leka said while thinking. "Maybe I'll try to ask my husband first."

"Eh, it has to be from your team, don't say anyone else, so it's not half-work." Candi.

Aska begins to realize his wife is not with him, but when he sees Candi talking to his wife, he is a little suspicious.

Suddenly a beautiful woman came to the old man who was talking to Aska. "Dad, have you eaten?"

"Oh, Rita. Haven't. I was talking to a guest for a minute, right? Oya, this is Mr. Aska his son Mr. Chris the owner of Famindo Group."

They shake.

"Rita."

"Aska."

"Please get me some food for Dad."

"O, yeah, yeah."

Rita saw Candi talking to a woman. He frowned. While coming to the temple and the woman who happened to be standing near the buffet food, Rita was a little suspicious of the woman. He saw them both laughing and the temple touched the beautiful woman's hand.

Is that the woman he calls the only woman in his life he loves?Rita is feeling hot. He had long sought the whereabouts of the woman who had disturbed his household but never found it. The temple neatly covered the trail of the woman.

Rita is the ex-wife of Candi who was divorced without ever touching her. They were married because their parents wanted to expand the power of the business, but Rita agreed to it because she also liked the temple. But the marriage was only a corn because Candi never wanted to touch it. The man even always busied himself with his work until late at night. Later Candi admitted that she loved others because it was difficult for her to like other women besides her woman. They were soon divorced.

Rita, who was hot in her heart, took a drink and poured it on Leka's face. Leka was of course surprised, as well as the temple.

"Oh, this is anyway ... the woman who has disturbed our household, huh? Really low ladies!"

Aska who had just said goodbye wanted to eat saw the incident and immediately greeted him.

"What are you doing Rita? She's your father's client's wife!" yelled Candi annoyed.

Aska who came later was also angry. "What did you do to my wife .. asshole! You know, I shouldn't have come here. Goddamnit!" He pulled his wife's body out of the house.

Guests who saw the incident whispered to each other.

"Ah, Rita ..it's a big client I've been looking for for your father, but you've humiliated him instead. I don't know anymore, how to talk to them." The temple immediately left the place.

Rita who was confused because she obeyed her emotions, now regretted and looked at her father who was upset but could not scold him.

Leka just shut up and looked down. She was taken by her husband into the car. Soon Aska left the house in her car and drove on the road. Sometimes he was worried and glanced at his wife because he was silent. "Leka, are you okay?"

There's no answer.

Aska immediately pulled her car over on the side of the road. He saw Leka was rubbing his wet face with water from drinking water from the woman earlier. It was like she was about to cry.

"I'm sorry Leka, I shouldn't have taken you there." Aska is really sorry. He opened his wife's seatbelt.

"Why every time I go with you, I'm always unlucky!" Finally the words came out of Leka's mouth.

"Leka, I never intended to embarrass you. It happened not through my intervention. Today, also yesterday."

Leka did not answer. He immediately opened the door, but Aska's hand did not lose quickly. The man immediately hugged his wife from behind. "Don't leave me Leka, I beg you."

"Let go of me, I need some fresh air to think!" Leka beat her husband's hand.

Finally, Aska let go. Leka immediately came out and pulled over. There was a bench on the side of the road where he could sit. Aska also came down and sat on the bench even though it was not close. He was feeling his wife at the time.

He just kept quiet and looked down the road. Look at the cars and motorbikes passing in front of him.

Is God telling him that he is not a match for Aska? Or did God want to tell her that her life with her husband was full of struggles? He really doesn't know the answer. All such an enigmatic inevitable. Somehow she felt tired, tired of pretending to be okay even though she always hurt every time she was near her husband. Indeed, this time it was not the work of her husband, but it feels like she no longer wants to fight for this marriage in the future.

"Maybe it's true you said when we parted first."

"We'd better split up before we both regret it."

"No it's not true Leka, I love you. I still want us to be together."

"But I'm not." Leka's tears fell dripping down her cheeks. "I'm tired."

Aska shifted her body slowly towards his wife. "Tomorrow Friday is a holiday. I'm planning on taking you to my parents, to tell them that we're married. Just one more step, honey. Can you wait?"

Leka just kept quiet. Soon she wiped her own tears. Slowly but surely she stepped towards her husband's car.

Aska is helpless. He just followed his wife's wishes. Actually he wanted to wipe Leka's tears and embrace her but he was afraid his wife was angry and left him.

By the time they returned to the apartment, there was already someone waiting for them in the lobby, Candi and Rita. Leka tried to dodge but they did look for Leka to apologize.

"Please, I'm sorry for you" Rita told Leka. "Do I have to bow down to you ...." The woman immediately bowed before Leka.

"Eh, I'm sorry I'm not a god" Leka told me with a sad face.

"Please leave us!" the voice of the fierce Aska. He pointed at the temple. "You, too, are the unlucky fellow!" He took his wife to the elevator.

Rita rounded her eyes to hear Aska's words. He looked at the temple. "So it's true that woman ...." His face looks upset.

"It's none of your business! Anyway we're divorced, why are you still bringing up the matter. Now that I'm helping your dad get back his biggest client, you're busy counting the heartache that no one knows who's doing. You alone put the feeling, you yourself feel the pain," said Candi cynically. He left Rita.

Rita was really upset, not a single bit also Candi understood her feelings that she had long been silent to the man, instead the man even mocked her for being willing to fall in love with him. He was really angry, angry at Leka for taking everything away. His marriage and the man he loved. Watch out for you bad woman, I'll repay you. He clenched his hands beside his body.

Arriving in the room, Leka immediately took a shower. After brushing his hair and wearing deodorant he checked Runi in the next room.

"Sound ...." Runi looks fussy even though she is sleepy.

"His body is gone, ma'am, but he won't sleep. Maybe you haven't seen Mom yet" replied Ani, Baby Sitter Runi.

Leka took Runi from her bed. "Once you go to sleep. Let me put my buni to bed."

"Yes, Mom." Ani is out.

Leka held onto Runi, wiggling her slowly with a small humming made Runi briefly fall asleep. It was peaceful to see Runi sleep soundly. Only in this way does his heart feel calm.

"Leka, you sleep in the room right? I can't sleep without you." Aska's head appeared from behind the door asking for certainty.

"Yes, Bang. Yes ...." Leka put Runi on her bed and followed her husband to the room. The man was already lying in bed waiting for his wife.

"Leka, I want to hug you can?" Aska shifted his body towards his wife who had already climbed onto the bed.

"No."

"God ...."

Leka was unmoved and was still like that until the next morning.

A quiet morning that gives a question mark to all. That morning there will be a meeting that will change everything, but will it go that smoothly?

In the morning, as usual Leka cooked breakfast. It is not usual for Aska to tell Ani to take a bath first because she wants to wait for Runi to drink milk. Runi was still a little awkward to Aska but the man tried to bring himself closer to his only child.

"Of, Om!" Runi showed her empty milk bottle to Aska.

"Not 'Om', 'Dad'."

"Nrt ...."

"Switch, how do you teach him?" Aska scratched her head.

"No!"

"Dad."

"Bu-kan A-yah!" Although not slurred, Runi did not know what Aska taught.

"Aduuuh ...!"

Leka in the kitchen just held back a laugh.

"Why is it 'not Dad' anyway?"

Kenzo used to come to his father's house, Arya, for breakfast.

"Has Nena come?" Kenzo was showered with the question while sitting on the dining table chair by Arya. Others listen.

"It was last night."

"Good!"

"Good?" Kenzo looks confused.

"Eh, great. You have a chat buddy."

"Oh."

"Can you come with me?"
