Prison Wound

Thirty one party

Resti who was standing guard outside instantly helped Rosyani to pick up Reina who was still trembling. "There was Bu Ratih and Mr. Reno inside," he said, so soft that no one else but Riena and Rosyani could hear.

Resti frowned while continuing to walk in Riena's slow steps that did not give any reaction. Usually, his employer would welcome him with pleasure whenever Ratih came to visit. But now, let alone paying attention to Ratih, thinking about her own state Riena was unable to. His feet did step, his ears could still hear well. His eyes were also still wide open to stare around. But it seems Riena deliberately made herself paralyzed, deaf and blind at the same time. The body is without soul-living but has no desire to live. It was as if the breathing that blew was only about coercion and torment.

Being in position behind Riena, Rosyani and Resti, Retno who still recognized Reno's face clearly, immediately pulled Raditya's arm that had not been aware of Reno's presence in her house. The woman brought her lips closer to the ear of the son.

"Why is he here?" retno asked in a whispering voice.

Raditya did not have time to answer or pay attention to the figure of Reno, Ratih immediately approached Riena. The woman replaced Resti to help replace Riena. Reno herself chose to just stand in place quietly, like an ordinary guest who was not playing his role.

Right now Riena is in need of calm, Ratih politely said. "Mom Ros, I'm sorry if I was presumptuous. We'd better get Riena to her room."

Although it was a wonder why Ratih could know his name and look close to Riena, Rosyani nodded in agreement. He himself was already tired of the great surprises and tempests of today. Really she wanted to see Riena return as fresh and cheerful as before.

After Riena slowly climbed the stairs, Raditya just shifted his gaze to the other side. That was when he realized Reno's existence. There was anger and resentment that he had to endure. One big problem has been waiting for his firmness to be resolved, now in front of his eyes there seems to be another who wants to test his patience.

"You may return to your place, Res," Raditya said without turning his sharp gaze away from Reno.

Reno still spread her smile that seemed polite to anyone who did not know her cunning. The man looked calm as if he was really a guest figure who came with good intentions.

"Don't be so sweet in front of me. After finding out Riena is Ratih's best friend, your plans will change, right?" raditya asked without a stale ado as soon as he saw there was only himself, Reno and Retno in the room.

Indeed, Raditya also just found out if Reno is the husband of Ratih. Exactly when the private intelligence he hired told him that the perpetrator of the rape against Riena was Reyhan. What a blow to Raditya. People with a past grudge against her, acting cowardly by using Riena as a tool to quell their hatred.

"I came here to take my wife to meet her best friend. Is there anything else important we should talk about? Maybe we met a few years ago, but I've forgotten that. Too bitter to remember. Life goes forward, why do we have to retreat backwards." Reno indirectly rejects Retno's wishes. The man just wants to stay in his role. Right now, approaching Riena was far more profitable than anything else.

"Here you go, don't make a show in front of me. Whatdoyouwd? Don't act like you just came here to see my wife. If you have a problem with me, then solve it with me. What happened in the past, I can't fix. But what happened to Rena is completely out of my control. If that problem's the ad--,"

"I don't want to talk about it anymore, Dit. I don't live in the past. It's up to you to think of me how. Our meetings that have taken place lately are just a coincidence." Reno hurriedly cut off Raditya's words. He still wants to hang on with his charade. Today is just the first step, Reno does not want to be provoked and enter into the thoughts of Raditya who clearly wants to lead him to admit that the past is still a strong reason Reno reappears before the man.

"As much as you want to tickle like what. I can't believe it at all. With humility and full awareness, I ask you, if there is still a wedge in your heart about the story of my past with Rena, just vent it to me. No need to involve Riena." This time Raditya lowered his tone. It was not a sign that he was desperate or giving up on defeat, this was all he could do to prevent Reno from carrying out his evil plan any further. It was not why her pride fell, as long as Riena did not return to being a victim of those who hurt her.

Reno only smiled meaningfully at Raditya's words. Inwardly, the man clearly enjoyed a rare moment like this. "It's not wrong that I used Riena to destroy you, Dit," inwardly.

Retno pulls Raditya's hand to leave Reno just like that. The woman was impatient to say a lot of questions to the son. In the end, the tightly shut past must be re-dismantled one by one in order to save Raditya and Riena's own household.

Meanwhile, in Riena's room, Rosyani who has just explained that Ratih is the daughter of her former domestic assistant continues to give thanks because they were reunited at the right time. At least Riena did not slump too deep because of the mentoring done by Ratih.

"Ma, please don't tell anyone what the doctor said. Riena wasn't expecting this pregnancy," Riena asked the mother with a sad look. Then a moment later he turned that gaze to Ratih. "Well, can't rape victims have abortions? I want to do it, Tih. I don't want to conceive a babysitter" she said, slowly but clearly and firmly.

Ratih of course did not answer Riena's question directly. To be honest, she herself was also surprised by the news of her best friend's pregnancy. As far as Ratih remembered, Riena had been given injections for the prevention of pregnancy. Although it does not guarantee 100% success, it usually has a success rate of almost 95%. The injections were taken just hours after the rape.

"Don't ...." Traini threw a glance towards Rosyani and Riena alternately. I really want him to express what he has in mind right now. However, Riena's condition is clearly being unable to accept or hear the opinions of others.
