"You didn't tell me earlier, at the first wedding."
Rina chuckled softly hearing Yati's protest. She was actually embarrassed, when she married someone who was supposed to be a contract husband, but instead stuck to get married.
And this is what makes Mr. Akihiko angry, even when the farewell is given permission.
It turned out that the permit was not sincere, and it ended up having a long tail until her husband died due to an accident that occurred after they married six months later.
"Sorry, Miss Yeti. Everything happens quickly. You know how it is, when we know that this is the right one."
Yati smiled in response to her friend's apology. He was not in Indonesia at the time.
At the time of Rina's retirement, intending to start a new life without Mr. Akihiko's shadow, Yati is in Japan for the training period of becoming-Geisha.
"I understand, Rina. So, how are you feeling now? How's your married life? Oh yeah, don't call me Mis Yeti anymore. Call me, Yati."
"Ah yes, sorry Mis .. ups, Yati."
The two of them chuckled back to the times they had been together.
Finally, Rina told me enthusiastically, the fun time after marriage and not struggling in the world of "Gheisa" again.
"Very fun, Yati. We enjoy every moment together and support each other in every way. Marriage brought a big change in my life, and I'm so happy."
Yati smiled brightly hearing the story of Rina, who had not been "felt" for real by him.
"I'm glad to hear that, Rina. You look so happy. What about work? What are you doing now?"
"I, along with my current husband, opened a small business in the culinary field. Yeah, that's a small business, Yati."
Rina, back to telling briefly about her new life now.
Every now and then, Rina smiles full of day, when she tells of her completely changed life.
"I'm glad to see you so excited, Rina." Yati, be happy with the new life of his comrade.
Lina smiled sincerely, nodding in agreement. "Thank you, Yati. How're you? And how's your dad?"
Rina asked back. He wants to know also the life of Yati who is now, because since long ago he knew, if Yati is "Gheisa" Mr. Akihiko's favorite that is not replaced by anyone.
The beautiful woman, who already had a new life was smiling. But there was sadness implied in his smile.
"Nothing is interesting" he answered softly, as if he had no intention of telling his current life story.
"Hemmm .. This life is a wheel that turns in struggle, Yati. Don't be discouraged."
Yati nodded in agreement. He knew the meaning of the words usury just now.
"My father is in hospital for a stroke. The doctor is trying to help him recover as best he can."
Finally Yati, in a slow voice told a little story of her life in the village.
His friend looked at him with a concerned look.
"I'm really sorry to hear that, Yati. May your father recover quickly and get back to health" said Rina praying hopefully for the recovery of the father of his friend.
Thank you, Rina. May the city remain on a path that is not the same as it used to be, anymore."
Lina nodded and smiled in agreement. He never thought of going back to his old life, which had been long abandoned.
Whatever happens, the woman wants to live a normal life as a "normal human being" in general.
"Of course, Yati. I don't want to be on the same path, and I wish you were."
After a while of talking, the atmosphere of the conversation between Yati and Rina became more serious.
Lina suddenly looked a little anxious.
"What's up, Rina?" yati asked, seeing the change in her friend's face.
Rina's face revealed a doubt, but Yati couldn't guess.
With a long sigh, Lina said nervously. Afraid that Yati would never believe what she said later.
"Yati, to be honest, my life isn't as easy as what I told you and I heard. A-There's a lot of things going on, and there were times when I was almost desperate too."
"What's going on, Rina? What makes you feel like that?" yati asked in surprise.
Rina sighed first before returning to tell her story after coming out of Mr Akihiko's "protection.
"After my first marriage, a few months later, my husband had a fatal car accident. But ... I feel like something's odd."
Yati, who had heard that, was still shocked and concerned. Finally he asked to complete his curiosity.
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that news. I don't know. But, what's so weird?"
"At that time, my husband had just met his client. You know for yourself who my first husband was, so he was quite close to Mr Akihiko."
Flowing story about the accident experienced by first husband Rina, who he said due to the blog brake. Before going to see Klein, the car departs from home to the destination is fine. After his return, the accident happened.
What became odd was that, before the accident, her husband Rina had contacted and told about her small debate with Mr Akihiko!
Rina rubbed her tears as she dripped. He could not help but grieve, even though it had been a long time and tried to be sincere about the incident.
"Hiks ... There were more tears when I was frustrated, first. I decided to seek support from family and friends to find out more, but there were some friends who asked me to be quiet and resigned."
"That was a wise move, Rina. Support from caring people certainly means a lot in the face of such difficult times. But why be quiet?" tanya Yati did not understand.
"You know for yourself how Mr. Akihiko, Yati. He looks friendly and gentle, but when angry, who doesn't know how he's doing"
"Yes, I get it."
Yati cut off the words of Rina who brought up the attitude and behavior of Mr Akihiko if he was emotional.
The cruelty of Mr. Akihiko, indeed no doubt. Especially if there's a guilty "child" she thinks.
Unfortunately, while working with Mr Akihiko, Yati never received such treatment. He heard only a few stories from his friends.
"He is vindictive. If you can't do it blatantly, you'll do it another way, Yati."
Rina, give an explanation to Yati. He knows if our Yati will believe his story.
Mis Yeti is Mr Akihiko's beloved "son", who has always been an idol and a snatch in the Japanese men's business. So there's no way Mr. Akihiko will act tough on him.
"But ..."
"I'm not going to force you to believe, but that's what happened to me, and some of my other friends who got away from Mr. Akihiko."
Inwardly, Yati thought hard how to find out apart from Rina alone.
"Are there other friends who suffered the same fate? I mean, terrorized Mr. Akihiko in his way."
Unfortunately, Rina shakes her head for the answer to the question. This makes Yati confused by her assessment of Mr. Akihiko.
'Is this story true, or ..."
