Love for Sheila

Roast chicken

"I hope Mas Reihan has forgiven me when he comes home from work later," Sheila said as she prepared dinner after work.

"But the clock's tumben Mas Ragil hasn't come yet," Sheila's mind as she chuckled towards the living room.

"Kania is hungry, Mi" complained Kania who just came out of her room while pulling the dining room chair and sitting on it.

"Please wait for your sister, maybe your brother is stuck in traffic," said Mayang while following Kania sitting.

Not long after Reihan has arrived at his home then greet his mother and sister without caring about the whereabouts of his wife. Even Reihan ignored Sheila's helping hand, always kissing her hand when she came home from work.

"Kok tumben Rei, you just came home? we are waiting for you" Mayang told his son.

"Yes Kak, we are waiting for brother to have dinner" continued Kania.

"I had a meal with Ajeng earlier, so I came home late" Reihan said, which left Sheila's heart pierced by a needle.

"Baby coming home with ya?" said Kania happy because he was very supportive of Ajeng.

"Yes, I take a shower first" Reihan said as he headed to his room without caring about Sheila's feelings.

"Good, indeed this is what I want," Mayang's mind pleased as he stared wickedly at the downcast Sheila sadly.

"Mi, Sheila, excuse me to eat in the kitchen" Sheila said in a trembling voice as she moved from her seat.

Sheila's tears are no longer in the dam, eating in the kitchen is just an excuse to cry silently and spill all her sadness there.

Without filling her empty stomach after a long day of work, Sheila who had finished tidying the dining table of her former in-laws and in-laws decided to immediately return to her room to rest.

Her feelings grew shattered when she found her husband who was engrossed in chatting with someone. But Sheila tried to be calm and tried to hold back her tears from dripping.

"Who are you chatting with?" sheila said, bracing herself.

"With Ajeng, why?" reihan said, asking.

"Definitely the office business?" sheila said as she lay beside her husband.

No answer from Reihan, he even looks more fun playing his phone without caring about Sheila.

"I have to think positively" Sheila said, trying to calm her heart.

The anxiety that messed up her mind made Sheila unable to close her eyes to sleep for a while even though the drowsiness continued to attack her. But at least Sheila was able to breathe a little relieved tonight because Reihan did not leave her to sleep in the guest room again.

With her head and eyes heavy Sheila prepared to grab a sling bag to her room to immediately leave for work.

"Mas Ragil must have been waiting for me in front, I better have breakfast at work," Sheila's inner self who did not fill her stomach again this morning as she stepped outside the house.

"Reihan has left with Ajeng, you better take public transportation alone," chirped her in-laws who made Sheila shocked.

"Yes Mi, Sheila left first yes," Sheila said with a trembling voice trying to hold back her cries.

With shaky steps and a chaotic mind Sheila did not care about some passing freight, She kept her foot down the outskirts of the city streets with her blank gaze plus her heart was very broken.

"Am I wrong with what I'm doing right now? she was Reihan's wife, "inner Ragil who was around the same location while driving his car slowly and observing the pedestrians hoping to meet Sheila again this morning.

"It's not right, I can't be like this," Ragil's mind was about to add to the speed of his car.

Ragil undoes his intention when his gaze finds a woman pedestrian at the end of the road who collapsed unconscious, Ragil immediately pulled over his car and helped the woman with some people who had already covered her first.

"You.." Ragil's mind was shocked when he found out that the woman who was unconscious was the woman he was thinking about.

Ragil immediately got Sheila in his car to take her to the hospital but in the middle of the trip before reaching the hospital, Sheila began to wake up and refused to be taken to the hospital.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital? your face is very pale" said Ragil who then pulled the car over for a while.

"I'm just sleep deprived, and haven't eaten yet" Sheila said.

"Alright, then you should come with me! I'll feed you," said Ragil excitedly while Sheila could only resign and not reject the invitation from Ragil because it started from the dizziness is very intense until the body is trembling limp is attacking him now.

Ragil returns to drive his car and pulls his car over at a luxury cafe regardless of the important meeting in the office that is waiting for him at this time.

"What do you like to eat?" ask Ragil while reading the menu book.

"Burning chicken" Sheila said briefly with her sticky eyes.

"Our favorite foods are the same" Ragil said with a smile and immediately ordered two servings of grilled chicken.

"This woman reminds me more and more of you, even your favorite food can be the same," said Ragil, who recalled the girl from his childhood.

There was not much chatter between the two of them until they finished eating because Sheila who was heartbroken and drowsy just answered briefly every remark from Ragil.

"O what's your name?" ask Ragil after he finishes eating because he doesn't want any more forgetfulness.

"Shei.." said Sheila was cut off because she began to fall asleep by leaning her head on the table.

"It seems like she is really sleepy, until she can no longer answer my questions," Ragil said with a smile when he found Sheila asleep and fell asleep.

Unable to wake her up when she wants to go home, Ragil carries Sheila to his car to the envy of the workers at the cafe for thinking they are both lovers.
