After the bath jam, Reyhan fell silent as he opened the bathroom door.
"Where is he?" Reyhan realizes Rara is not in the room.
Reyhan tries to get out onto the porch looking for Rara, but nothing. Finally Reyhan immediately put on his clothes and went downstairs. Look mamah, bi Nana, and bi Ina are cooking for dinner preparation later.
'Well I guess he's in the kitchen, why isn't there too?'
"Mahs.. Look Rara didn't?" ask Reyhan to his mother.
"Duh Mas Reyhan this is only a few minutes not to see Mba Rara as afraid to leave it.." ledek bi Ina.
"Yes dong bi. I can't get away from him" Reyhan smiled mischievously.
"Rara came out, she said she wanted to look at the tea garden" replied Mamah.
"Huh? alone?" Reyhan surprised.
"Engga.. di befriend papah" continued mamah Reyhan.
Reyhan looked towards the wall clock 'It's almost 5pm and a half, why he wants to see the tea garden, I told you tomorrow' Reyhan murmured.
"That's it.. Rara just wants to see the green-green, let it go, anyways Rara also go with papah" continued mamah Reyhan trying to convince Reyhan.
--
Rara and Mr. Santoso aka his father-in-law were walking in the middle of a small road on the right and left surrounded by green tea gardens. The twilight light adds to the beauty of the scenery. It felt really peaceful then.
"Pah.pardon Rara ya pah" said Rara to her in-laws who walked next to her.
"I'm sorry?" mr. Santoso is confused.
"Yes...Rara has not been able to give grandchildren to papah" Rara tried to smile.
"Haha, son, marriage is not just about children. What makes Papah sad is not about grandchildren. But papah is sad if you split up just about that. The rise of time when Papah was so scared that you and Reyhan separated when you returned to Bandung"
"Well..." Rara was embarrassed. "That's me just missing my mother's reward." continued Rara reasoned.
"It's okay, papah understand. It's only natural that you behave like that, because Reyhan has gone too far. He deserves that punishment" papah smiled.
"Pah.kaya Rara tips for Rara and Reyhan's marriage to last dong. Rara is always envious when she sees mamah and papah. You guys look like there's never a problem" Rara joked a little.
"Son.what is seen on the outside, may not be the same as what is on the inside. If you remember from the beginning of the papah know mamah, until marriage, even until now, there must be and a lot of obstacles. In fact, our relationship was not blessed by our parents. To the extent that papah had given up and chose in a match only by the choice of parents. But. Your mother-in-law is always ahead, she never gives up to always convince our parents"
"Waahhh.. like Yama*a well pah.. always ahead" joked Rara.
"Hahahahahah.it is getting in front of me." Santoso replied with a joke.
Both giggle.
"Want it. when mamah is declared unable to get offspring, that's where most fall as fall. The two parents also started to be disappointed again. But papah realized, that it was the time, papah's turn to fight for the household, especially for mamah. Although he had asked Papah to marry again, Papah was not interested at all. Because a true man, he will be responsible until the end when he has married someone else's child" explained papah.
Rara looked at Mr. Santoso, fixated on the story told by Mr. Santoso.
"Son. The same is the case with cooking, although sometimes the ingredients have a definite dose, but when cooked in different hands, the taste is still different. And the delicious taste of the food depends on who eats it. The key is to accept each other. It's not good to swallow together. Accept. and enjoy".
Unconsciously Rara shed tears. Deepened by his father-in-law's answer.
"You and Reyhan are okay, right?" Mr. Santoso was confused to see Rara crying.
"Well..." Rara laughed a little and rubbed her face. "I am overwhelmed with reward" continued Rara.
'What should I do if Reyhan is cheating. Did I ask you about Gita Sama papah? who knows who Gita is. But I don't think it's the right time'.
Hearing Mr. Santoso ask Reyhan, Rara remembered the longing message that Gita delivered on Reyhan's phone.
"Well let's go home, it's almost maghrib"
--
Once adzan maghrib roared, Rara and Pak Santoso arrived at the villa. Seen people began to gather and busy, some were arranging tables and chairs, some were rolling out mats, some were grilling meat, and some were burning fish caught from the pond. When Rara arrives, Reyhan is unaware of his wife's arrival as he is standing near a meat grill but his eyes and hands are busy holding a cell phone.
'Cih. sure he was busy sending a message with that unlucky Gita*n' muttered Rara looked on with annoyance then immediately entered and went up to the room to shower immediately.
"Hey" Mr. Santoso walked over to Reyhan and punched his son.
"Eh. Papa? when's return? Which rara?" Reyhan was shocked and immediately put his phone into his pocket again.
"Just came. Rara seemed to have gone inside, seemed to have taken a shower and changed clothes"
And Reyhan remembered that Rara had not had time to take an afternoon shower.
"How long has it been roasted?" santoso asked while watching the cooked meat on the table.
"It's almost done reward, this is the last one" Reyhan replied.
Then they proceeded to grill the meat together.
--
'Has Reyhan been cheating behind my back? but every time he's at home, he never gets a call or anything suspicious'.
'Did Reyhan cheat in the office? what is the Gita employee in the office? but to my knowledge, there's no employee named Gita. Is he maybe a new employee?'.
'Aaaarrrggghhh. If only at home, I'd chopped you Reyhan. I'm trying to be patient because there are mama and papah here'.
Rara grumbled in annoyance when she finished her bath and stood in front of the mirror while looking at herself in the mirror.
Rara took a deep breath and exhaled. Rara sat down and was silent for a moment.
'Astaghfirullah..why am I such a grudge? why do I doubt my husband?' Rara looked sad.
--
After changing clothes and getting a little dressed up, Rara then went downstairs to get ready for dinner together. Rara approached mamah, bi Ina, and Bi Nana who were in the kitchen, and was assisted by other employee mothers.
"How was it, the walk in the tea garden was exciting?" ask Mamah.
Rara nodded and smiled.
"I'm sorry mah, so I did not help mamah and others in the kitchen" continued Rara.
"Haha.it's okay, son. Mamah also just help peel the onion ko wkwk" mamah. Rara laughed a little.
All dishes are cooked, and are arranged to be served at dinner later. Rara helps cut the pastries and serves them on the plate.
"Eh" Rara was surprised that suddenly there was a hand coiled around her stomach, hugging her from behind, who else if not her spoiled husband.
"Where have you just looked" Reyhan whispered in Rara's ear.
"What the hell. Unleash it. Many people" Rara moved her body hoping Reyhan took off his embrace.
"What if so many people? they also know you're my wife" ledek Reyhan.
"Shame!" Rara slightly shouted in annoyance.
Unlike usual Rara so, usually she screams but smiles shyly. This time his face was upset. Finally Reyhan took off his hug, standing beside Rara, but his left hand was still wrapped around Rara's waist, while his right hand held the edge of the table.
"Wahh. Bribe dong babe, A..." Reyhan opened his mouth hoping to be fed the cake that Rara was cutting.
"Can you eat by yourself, right?!" rara looked at Reyhan, then put away Reyhan's left hand that landed on his waist. Then Rara walked out of the house, to see the situation outside the house.
'Why him?'
Reyhan was astonished to see Rara's strange behavior, because Rara was not usually so.
Mamah Reyhan who was not far from them just fell silent to pay attention to them. After Rara came out, mamah Reyhan immediately approached his son.
"Biantem?" mamah said while continuing to cut the unfinished cake in Rara's cut.
"Huh? enga. Gatau, why is he" Reyhan still doesn't understand.
"You must have done something wrong"
"Huh? errwhat? I just don't know what's wrong with me"
"Reyhan's.. Reyhan.the woman, let alone the wife, almost knows everything you do without you telling her, often we even know what the husband is hiding" mamah ledek.
"Hide it? what am I hiding?" Reyhan is confused.
"Of course, open your mouth, let it be your mistress"
Reyhan opened his mouth and chewed on the cake.
'Why did Rara suddenly?'
--
Dinner together arrives. The family eats together with the employees of the pond and tea garden, a large dinner or even a small party. Rara chose to sit close with bi Ina, bi Nana, and other female employees. Reyhan sat next to his father.
While eating, Reyhan occasionally notices Rara. His wife was seen chatting coolly and smiling with female employees.
'Haha..he is angry and away from me? or are you trying to get familiar with the staff?' Reyhan smiled to himself looking at Rara's behavior.
After the dinner was over, the men gathered in front and even they were karauke and dancing together with the tools that had been prepared in advance, he said, that night some female employees cleaned the dishes and tidied up the dirty places, the rest had fun in front.
Several times Reyhan was seen singing and dancing with Mr. Santoso and Mr. Udin. He laughed and shook his body.
'Sadly happy she is' Rara murmured inwardly watching her husband.
"Look, father and son are the same. Hahaha.." the mama who was beside Rara laughed.
"Well, I'll go in first"
"Why?"
"Suddenly my head is dizzy Mah"
"I'm going in first, Mah.."
"Yes"
Rara went inside the house, and headed for the kitchen to drink.
"Mba Rara all right?" tanya bi Ina saw Rara's face a little pale.
"Hehe my body's a little unwell bi. I'm going upstairs first yeah"
"Jaudah rest Mba..."
--
Arriving at the room, Rara lay on the bed, tilting her body. He was silent as if thinking of something.
'If you think back, it's only natural that Reyhan cheated, I'm not like other women. I haven't been able to give him offspring, I've also been selfish a lot. And so many beautiful women and more capable of giving him offspring quickly, unlike me' Rara shed tears, she insecure with herself.
--
After having fun dancing and singing, Reyhan sat down and looked around. Reyhan begins to realize Rara is invisible in his eyes. Reyhan approached his mother.
"Well, where's Rara?"
"So come in, he said dizzy"
Reyhan immediately went inside the house and saw bi Ina cleaning the kitchen.
"Bi.. See Rara?"
"In Mas Reyhan's room, he said he wasn't feeling well"
Reyhan climbed the stairs and headed to his room. When Reyhan opened the room door, Rara was lying on the bed with her back to her side. Reyhan closed the door and went up to the top of the bed approaching Rara.
"Darling.. are you sick?" Reyhan placed his hand on Rara's forehead from behind.
Rara immediately fended it off.
Reyhan is surprised, and tries to turn Rara's body around so that she can see Rara's face.
"Go. Hicks..." Rara stood up and walked to the terrace crying.
Reyhan immediately stood up and followed Rara, holding Rara by the hand, preventing her from leaving the room.
"Why are you crying?" Reyhan.
"Let go" Rara let go of Reyhan's hand forcefully.
"Why are you, baby?" reyhan asked innocently.
"I know everything Reyhan!"
"Know what?" Reyhan is confused.
Rara turned her face away.
"Rara.." call Reyhan.
Rara did not look.
"Tell me, I'm not telling you why. Don't confuse me" Reyhan said.
Rara still turned her face away.
"Rara look at me!" exclaim Reyhan.
Rara looked up and looked at Reyhan's face with tears already flooding her cheeks, even her eyes had begun to swell, because she was crying in the room alone.
"If you want to get married again. Say. Don't keep other women quiet" Rara begins to reveal.
"Huh?" Reyhan was even more confused.
Rara simply fell silent staring at Reyhan's face without blinking, with teary eyes.
Reyhan tries to grab Rara's hand, to calm her down, but Rara immediately dodges.
Reyhan fell silent, looking at each other with Rara.
'His eyes showed great anger. He was really being angry Reyhan murmured inwardly.
Rara turned her face again, walked over and stood slightly away from Reyhan. Look out of the window that is still not tightly closed curtains. Rara cried, and immediately rubbed her face again, crying again, rubbing again, so on.
Reyhan only fell silent, and watched her from quite a distance away. Reyhan always let Rara cry when she was angry or sad, because he knew Rara was difficult to talk to when she was still very angry, because it was Reyhan silent and let cry, because it was, because it can make him a little calm.
Before long it sounded sobbing Rara began to thin out. A sign that Rara is starting to calm down.
"Have you cried?" Reyhan is approaching.
Rara did not answer.
"I really don't understand why you're suddenly like this" Reyhan said.
"Yes. Because all you understand is Gita!"
"Huh?" Reyhan.
"Don't play like you don't understand anything. Since when did you come into contact with that woman? how long has it not been to meet him? to the point that he misses you. Should have brought him here!" shout Rara.
Reyhan fell silent and thought of something. 'Gita? Missed?'
"Hahahahahahahahaha.... " Reyhan was actually laughing very complacently in front of Rara.
'uh? she laughs? damn you!'
"Mahaha....." Reyhan was still laughing.
Rara grew increasingly upset and turned around to get out of the room. Reyhan immediately pulled Rara's hand.
"Haduhhhh baby.. hahahah...here here here here"
Reyhan pulls Rara to face him. Then he took the phone out of his pocket and opened whatsapp messages.
"Are you reading this on my phone?" Reyhan flipped his phone and turned it over to Rara.
Rara can see a contact with the words Gita and a few lines containing their conversation.
"Read me"
"No way" Rara refused.
"Let's see for yourself and believe it" Reyhan handed over his phone and placed it in Rara's palm.
Inevitably, out of curiosity Rara finally read the contents of the conversation.
"You know, this afternoon when I went to the terrace, I made a video showing a pond and a tea plantation, and then I put it on whatsapp status. Didn't you see my status?"
Rara started reading.
Gita: Reyhan, is that the villa that was the time of year? (Her partner Gita replied to Reyhan's status by commenting on that)
Reese: yoi
Gita: Wow more clean and green yes. Long time no go there either. That's a really cool place.
Reyhan: Yes, the last time you knew. Before graduation it seems like yes
Gita : Yes. remember Ngga, fitting Eri in cemplungin to the pond Rizal continued to want nolongin intention even in kiss lele haha
Reyhan : Oh yes wkwk. Crazy has been a long time, too, so kangen collected
Gita: I really miss you.
Suddenly Rara looked down as if embarrassed.
"Hahaha... embarrassed huh?" ledek Reyhan's.
"Nih" Rara returned Reyhan's phone.
"Hahaha, he knows everything. Know what? round know??" ledek Reyhan again.
"Ih" Rara was about to exit the room again, Reyhan immediately prevented and hugged her from behind.
"Aduuhhhhh my dear this turns out her jealousy is worse than mine" Reyhan continued to sneeze while tightening his embrace.
Rara just kept quiet because she was so embarrassed.
"Gita was one of my college friends. I used to, Mentari, Eri, Gita, Rizal, Bunga, Akbar, who else I forgot. The pokolanya, I once invited them for the new year here, and once here before graduation if not wrong. Anyway, a lot of people are on vacation, if you do not believe, just ask bi Nana or Pak Ujang who live here" explained Reyhan.
"Gita is like that, she's kind of poetic with her son" Reyhan continued.
Rara was silent.
Reyhan took off his embrace and stood right in front of Rara. Reyhan grabbed Rara's chin and lifted her so as not to duck.
"Aren't you angry anymore?" Reyhan.
Rara was silent and just looked at Reyhan.
"Eh, someone said, if you want to marry again say! can she?" again Reyhan was cut off.
"Ih yes yes" Rara punched slowly Reyhan's body. "Please let it be brave! I cut your juniors!" shout Rara.
"Hahahahaha.
