Picking Up the Past

This is My wife

Arya immediately got into Rita's car and turned it on, he immediately drove the car to his destination, he then immediately pulled out his phone and looked for a number with the writing of his beloved wife on his phone.

While Mila was sitting at her teacher's desk, she was thinking about what decision she would make about the veil problem that was now plaguing her. Arya has returned the matter to him, and he has also heard Arya's desire to keep using the veil, but on the other hand he also does not want to stop being a teacher.

In the middle of his daydream, his phone suddenly rang, he saw Arya's name there which made him smile happily for a moment, he immediately raised the call with a feeling of pleasure.

Arya smiled at the greetings from Mila, for some reason the voice was so longed for since this morning she left home.

“walaikumussalam my wife” said Arya with a joke.

“why suddenly call me?” asked Mila curiously, She tried to hide her feelings of pleasure.

“did I call my own wife wrong?”

“Arya,, don't joke that, can't you save your joke for later at home” upset Mila on Arya.

“I'm now on my way to your school to pick you up, I'll be there soon,”

“to my school?, for what?, why suddenly like gini?”

“alah, don't ask much, soon I reach” said Arya briefly.

“but I still have hours later at noon”

“do you want your husband to have lunch together with another woman in a closed room?” said Arya who made Mila's eyes rounded instantly, “kamu don't mess ya” threatened Mila with an upset tone. “10 more minutes I arrived, wait for me ya” replied Arya ended her call.

Mila inhaled a rough breath for a moment, without a second thought he immediately got up and left the teacher's room, he sent a short message to Syifa to help him take the last hour of the day.

Arya smiled at Mila who was waiting for her in front of the gate, after turning off Rita's car, she then approached her wife, and Mila looked at her in surprise because Arya brought the car she had just seen. “that's whose car?” asked Mila when Arya was already standing nearby, “what is that car more important than you kissing my hand?” arya said in a annoyed tone.

Mila then looked at her husband's face with a smile, and then she kissed him on the hand.

“ayo we leave” said Arya directly pulled Mila's hand, “Arya, where are we going?, who is the woman you will meet it?”

“alah, join Mil” replied Arya.

After they got into the car, Arya immediately drove the car. “Arya, you haven't answered my 3 questions, whose car is this?, where are we going?, and who is the woman we're going to meet?” she said Mila looked upset at her husband.

“later you also know Mil, now we discuss other problems aja” replied Arya who made Mila more upset. “I do not want” ketus Mila while throwing her face from the direction of Arya.

“you do not want to discuss overnight” said Arya opened their conversation.

“you want to discuss your shaking hands that” said Mila half-joked her husband who made Arya swallow her saliva instantly.

Arya opens the door where she meets Anjani at the restaurant, while Mila who walks beside her is made to hold back in anger, ‘dare that woman take my husband to lunch in a place like this’ inner.

Arya found Anjani who looked chaotic with wet cheeks, she also looked at the dining table full of food with a look of wonder ‘dia why?’ arya saw it all.

“Arya, finally you come also” Anjani murmured with a smile, but his smile was immediately faded when there was a veiled woman who followed Arya's steps.

“dia who?” anjani asked in annoyance while rubbing her wet cheeks.

“this is my wife, why do you think I am Anjani?” arya asked confusedly. ‘so true Arya has married’ Inner Anjani held back the disappointment in her heart.

“wasn't you the one that Ari kicked out back then?” ask Anjani who remembers the veiled woman who was told to drive Ari to Rita when in the Aryan company lobby.

“Ari expels my wife, when?” arya said confusedly while looking at the faces of Anjani and Mila alternately.

“not to be discussed Arya” replied Mila while holding Arya's hand, they then sat in front of Anjani. “you want to eat this much Anjani?” arya asked Anjani while looking at the table full of food, while Mila looked inside at Anjani's face, ‘this woman is having problems huh, then why does she want to meet Arya?, and then why does she want to meet Arya?,’ Inner Mila.

“not me to eat, but you and your wife, I have no appetite at all” replied Anjani who made Arya and Mila simultaneously swallow their saliva. “astaga, you are crazy huh, our stomach will not fit to hold this much food” said Arya did not believe.

“Arya, I need a friend to talk” said Anjani lethargic with eyes that returned glazed. “you have a problem?” mila asked softly to Anjani.

“why are you sitting there?, if you know I have a problem, you should be sitting next to me so I can hold you, or I have to move beside Arya to hug her” Anjani replied with annoyance to Mila, Mila then immediately stood up and moved beside Anjani, “I will kill you if you hug my husband” Mila said resentfully. But Anjani did not care about Mila's sentence he immediately embraced Mila's body to release her sadness.

“ life is really unfair to me, my father just want to match me with others without caring about my feelings, I even really hate to see the eyes of the man who was betrothed to me it” Anjani said tightly hugging Mila's body with her hoarse voice. Arya gazes in the direction of Anjani, ‘so true Anjani was betrothed to that man?,’ inner Arya.

"i really do not want to be betrothed like this" isak Anjani in Mila's embrace, although he does not know Mila, for him he already feels happy there is a place to tell his sad feelings.

‘what was Mila like this when she received an arranged marriage from grandfather?’ arya held back sadly staring at Anjani and remembering her marriage to Mila first. ‘it's just right she cried that afternoon and also when kissing my hand after the contract, she said, surely he was as sad as this moment that inner’ Arya again.

While Mila rubbed Anjani's shoulder to give calm to the girl, she understood very well what Anjani felt like, because she was once in that position. “I understand your feelings, I understand your feelings, you have to be strong against this all” Mila said in a soft tone to Anjani.

While Arya stared into his wife's eyes hearing it all, there was something peeping through his heart, ‘did I really snatch Mila's happiness back then?’ his mind is holding tight.

“I know you guys won't be able to help me, but I don't know any more how to let go of this sick” Anjani said getting her hug closer to Mila.

“do you want me to tell you how to let go of your feelings?” arya asked while looking at Anjani. Anjani and Mila simultaneously look towards Arya hearing the sentence Arya “Where?”

“Ya Tuhaan, Aryaaa, this is really beautiful, I did not expect there is still a place like this in a city of this size” said Anjani who stared at the scenery in front of him as if he could not believe the existence of that place, he spread out his hands through the wind that hit his body and penetrated his heart to give him relief in the chest.
