Me And My Man
23. Chilly
Satria took off her head set and stepped into the vertical kitchen of a glass of water. His steps came to a halt as he turned his body around and saw Bimo sitting in the living room staring at him sharply.
Before long Bu Wiji came out of Satria's room followed by Reyna behind him, Reyna stared at Satria anxiously as they stood aside. Satria immediately steps Rey towards the living room
"What's up, brother?" ask Reyna slowly
stale base Bimo muttered you should know what I'm here for, not for this kind of hilarious joke
Bimo stared at the two people in front of him alternately
"A little while" Bimo got out of his car seat and went back into the house, handing a piece of paper to Reyna
"I forgot to give this to the material tomorrow Monday"
Bimo turned around to leave but his steps stopped when Bu Wiji came with a drink
"Where to go to Bimo, drink first"
Bimo sat back down
"Son Bimo is this ready for Rey?"
"Mum's working partner"
"Lohs.. Reyna, do you permit Satria??"
"Sir Bimo friends Mas Satria kok Bu, Reyna who asked about Reyna bored at home" said Rey timid
"Oalah.. temenmu tho Sat"
Satria nodded
"Yes right, ma'am, playmate of the night" grinned Bimo.
"Yes it's the play at night, if you work in the morning" said Bu Wiji plain
"Son Bimo has breakfast.."
"May Bu, thank you in advance" said Bimo excitedly, he wanted to know what role Satria and Reyna actually played

Bimo sat down with Rey. Reyna took the rice for Satria, her two in-laws then Bimo.
Bimo's eyes were fixed on the married ring on Reyna's ring finger as she handed over her plate. He glanced at Satria's finger sitting next to Reyna who was also embedded in the ring there.
He was sure that even very sure all this time there was no jewelry attached to Reyna's body except earrings. The fingers were often he held even he dreamed of pinning a ring on the day. His heart was broken because of the pain.
Only a word two was spoken at the dinner table, Bimo who chimed in on the questions of Satria's parents. Reyna and Satria simply chose to remain silent.
"Hemmmm, Sat pantes you get fatter, lha your wife cooks delicious, lucky you get Reyna's wife, yes sir" commented Bu Wiji
Mr. Wiji nodded
akhattttttt Bimo's heart paled, torn but not bleeding
"Oh yes, Bimo Boy..I'm asking you please don't let Nak Rey get tired. Let's get pregnant, we already want to carry a grandchild" he continued
jlebbbbbb Bimo was back just able to nod his head
pregnant, did Reyna also do that with Satria if they covered their status all along. But for what???
Finished the breakfast ended Bimo immediately hurriedly parted. Reyna let go of Bimo with erratic thoughts. Satria seemed calm and ordinary.

In the afternoon when Mr and Ms. Wiji left for the reception, Reyna tried to talk to Satria about the incident this morning
"Why?" sahut Satria lightly while playing his phone
"I don't feel good about Bimo"
"Not good why?"
"Mas can be serious!?" Reyna sniffed while snatching Satria's phone
Satria took a long breath
"Bimo doesn't need any explanation. We're married not married has nothing to do with him"
"But..." Reyna stuttered
"I can read that Bimo has a special feeling for you, Rey. I was just happy to see him heartbroken like that" Satria replied lightly
"Yes..." Reyna's wide-eyed
"You deserve a good man, not like Bimo. I know what Bimo looks like, Rey, I know how bad he is"
Reyna bowed for a moment then she smiled wryly
"So you don't think I'm better than your girl who can turn you into now?"
"Rey.don't take Niken to this. Surely you two are good girls"
"Well how is it different from Bimo's sister?"
Satria was silent at a loss for words
"If Mas does not want to explain to Brother Bimo. Let me explain to her" Reyna got up from her seat
"Then what do you expect after Bimo finds out about our relationship?" Satria prevents him from leaving and clasps Reyna's wrist
"Make the same thing as you maybe. Connecting with others is personal, right?" reyna replied fiercely and threw Satria's hand violently
"I'm not going to let it be that easy Rey" cried Satria frustratedly
Reyna turned around and ruffled her waist
"Mas doesn't have to bother meddling with something that doesn't concern you. Just take care of your business until it improves as you expect and we take care of the breakup immediately. I couldn't stay longer with a selfish person like Mas" Reyna's index finger pointed at Satria's face, her chest rumbling, her crown as if about to explode.

Reyna turned her back on Satria when they were forced to sleep through the night, she had still silenced a thousand languages since last afternoon. Pretend they're okay in front of her parents-in-law and that's very torturing. Her eye pellets heat up and clear droplets wet her cheeks
Satria is also still clingy with her stance, Reyna is a good woman whom she is forced to involve with her complicated life. He said there was nothing wrong if he had to take care of him and return to his family properly.
''Reyna.'' call Satria slowly.
''Rey.I know you haven't slept'' Satria wiggled the woman's shoulder'.
''What?'' reyna's voice sounded hoarse ''Talk I listen''
''You're crying?'' Satria wakes up from her lying position and stamps Reyna's body.
Reyna sat down and cupped her face, her chest tight withholding tears from coming down.
''Rey.I'm sorry'' Satria pulled Reyna's palm which she then brushed aside "I'm sorry if I bring you into this difficult situation''
Reyna looked up and wiped away the trail of tears with the back of her hand No problem. I just ... I'm tired of pretending''
''I ask you to be patient in a moment''
Reyna looked back down, I can't bear to see your parents Mas, she loves me like her own son. Huge expectations of them for us .. but...''
''That's it, they're both my business. I also want it all to end and restore you to your whole family without any blemish. Was I wrong just to take care of you, however you are my current responsibility Rey''' Satria tried to convince Reyna
Reyna pulled the blanket and returned to her sleeping position, she looked at the wall of the room and tried to examine every word Satria is true.
