SECOND BRIDE
Episode 7: Meeting My First Wife



After a week of vacation in Yogyakarta with Ve, Ikmal, and Mail, Shinta decided to go to Bandung. Andre had prepared his meeting with Hana at a Lembang restaurant, Andre was on vacation with his family and rented a villa there. I don't know what she'll talk about later after meeting Hana and thinking about the wife's reaction


Andre was already a little worried that his presence would have an impact on their relationship in the future, but he also understood that if Andre's second marriage remained secret it would be worse.


“Oh yes Mas, malem later he said he wanted to meet the person yes ? Mas has not told who the person is, yesterday said it was just an important meeting aja.”


“About that, later on. There I explain.” It was Andre who was playing with Saka.


“Oh yes Mas, I just inget two months I have not dapet loh.”


“What wallet ?” ask Andre who is not too focused because Saka continues to invite him to play.


“Come month mas, keep my body yes rich


difference from.”


“Wait, you mean pregnant ?”


“Ya don't know yet, it hasn't been tested.”


For a moment Andre was silent to think if really his wife was pregnant, then what if after hearing the marriage both of them would be pregnancy would not be okay because Hana would be surprised by this news, especially considering the history of Hana who had a miscarriage. Andre's really a dilemma, though, he could not tell his wife at this time because he was very afraid Hana would be stressed in his early pregnancy and could even miscarry for the second time but what about Shinta who was already in Bandung and meeting tonight can't be canceled.


“Mas think what ?” asked Hana who saw instantly speechless after hearing the news.


“Emm, yes I have bought a testpack now. Let us quickly know what the result is.”


“Should now really be?”


“Iya.” Andre answered immediately and prepared to wear his jacket, because he thought the sooner he confirmed the pregnancy, he could decide what attitude he should choose with certainty.

Hana had come out of the toilet with the results of the test, with a radiant face she immediately hugged her husband and Saka who was being carried by Andre. He showed two lines that were clearly visible on the test bar.


“Alhamdulillah, Thank you Hana.” Andre said and kissed his wife warmly on his forehead.


“Pantesan from yesterday my body lemes really, which is usually strong play with Saka is even uprooted.”


“What about that dinner, you can still come ? you are pale.”


“No, I can't still. I have promised the person so it cannot be canceled dong.”


“Yakin ? the night wind is not good for you especially the heat of the body. You're at home, I'm just here for a second. What to bring ?”


“Martabak bangka, chocolate bean equal martabak telor, egg duck two yes.”


“Haha. who is pregnant immediately want martabak. Yes it will be bought, now you just rest. Saka I brought ya, you're sick.”


“No, No. I don't want to be alone here.”’


“Manja yes, Saka.. You're a hero father should be able to protect your mother and your future sister, baby. Do not disturb mother yes, so good child first yes dear.”


“Siaapp.!” reply Saka with great enthusiasm.’’

19.00 WIB


Shinta had been at the restaurant that had been set as the location of their meeting, he had seen Andre who had come alone no one followed him behind. Shinta was very astonished, why he had come alone or he had told about it and his wife refused to come to see him.


“Kok itself, Sir ?” ask Shinta.


“Father again, father again.” protest Andre


“Why yourself ?” ask Shinta again


“Udah pesen eat ?” ask Andre who seems to want to delay to answer Shinta's question.


“Why did it come, MAS ?” ask Shinta again.


“Pesen eat first yuk.”


“Udah said yes, continued Mbak Hana angry continue not want to see me huh ? it's definitely. Sorry, I was so happy in the relationship between the two of you.” Shinta had deduced herself from the attitude of Andre who had chosen not to answer her question.


“Not... no. no. I can't tell him yet. My wife is pregnant, we just found out earlier and my wife is sick now.”


“Terus ?. no.. First of all I have to congratulate her pregnancy but continue how ?” Shinta was still confused by the current situation.


“Yes, currently I can't harm my wife's content. She could have been surprised by this news and could have been fatal. miscarriages.” Definitely Andre again.


“Lantas how, Mas ? want to wait until the body continues to be told ? 9 Months old ? are we keeping it a secret ? After all, we did not do husband and wife relations as in general, right, we did not register this marriage and no one knows except the hospital people who at that time saw.”


“It cannot be like that Shinta, however you are my legal wife even if our marriage is not registered, I am also your legal husband our relationship is now husband-wife, and Hana should know. I'll find the right time, after which I'll let you know.”


“Talking about our relationship, I am still confused about the boundaries of this relationship. Of course, we are not husband and wife, is not ?”


“If you want it, I can..”


“No.. of course not. You can do it without love.” Shinta is so clumsy.


“What if the presence of love comes unexpectedly?.” Shinta murmured.


“What ?”


“No, I know Mas loves Ma'am Hana very much because Mas takes care of him a lot. I'm a little envious, because to me Mas is just a surrogate Father.”


“You mean ?”


Shinta shook her head and smiled at Andre.


“You are! Don't mind anything, I am your husband Shinta, for now I am your husband.” Andre touches the tip of Shinta's head and reaffirms that she is Shinta's legal husband no matter the circumstances of their sudden relationship, but according to him, the words Ijab he had spoken automatically made him bound to Shinta as well as Shinta had bound himself as a legitimate husband and wife.


“Iya. yes.. Husband in charge of guarding until graduation. Understand Mas!” Shinta was upset because the sentence was continuously thrown by Andre.


“After Hana's content is strong, then I will tell her and I will bring you together. Don't worry, God willing Hana will understand our relationship” Andre said, Shinta just nodded her head while smiling at him.


All he could do now was that, obey what the man said. His position was indeed all wrong at the moment, like an apprentice actor who had absolutely no intention of seizing people's husbands but was very afraid that his feelings would change with time.


“Oh yes, mumpung again in Bandung and still seven o'clock too. How do we go for a walk first ? I give you a free tour for your rich tourist.” Take Andre with passion.


“Turis what's ? Not Mas Andre is also a tourist here ?”


“At least I know more than you, want to not ? You have nothing else to do either. I still have an hour or two left.”


“Alright, where are we going sir tour guide ? take me to a good place yes.” The shinta.


Andre invites Shinta to visit the water attractions in Lembang. Quite quiet because it was late at night and the operating hours were almost up. The ticket keeper had told Andre, but Andre still kekeh with his desire to invite Shinta into the tourist attractions even though the time is only one hour.


Andre thought an hour was enough for them to spend quality time together. He needs to get closer to this little girl, the girl who is now his legal wife.


“You got on a boat not ? Said malem for free.” Andre Tawar.


“Free it is because the paddleman has come home. Tuh see, people on the way home, we even enter.”’


“Good dong, so like we rented this place right.”


“Terserah, deh.”


“PHOTO FREE... FREE PHOTO.. FREE PHOTO.. Kang wants to be in the photo with the nengnya ? rarely are the moon also longer the full moon. Good for photos.” An old man offers his services to Andre.


“Bby, ki! Come Shinta!” Andre immediately pulls Shinta to be beside him and poses with a view of the artificial lake as well as the full moon.


“Hiji... two... tilu... cheese!”.


Czechoslovak...


“Kang, deck again. Hugs kang. Dear moon again good.” Advice from the photographer.


Andre agrees and holds Shinta's waist and pulls her to be more intimate with him. Shinta who received the treatment was very surprised and felt very awkward now but she was still trying to sing a smile to look good in the photo.


“Wait ten minutes huh, Kang. Can be directly printed. One picture is ten thousand size 4r.”


“She said free earlier ?” shinta asked in surprise.


“The photo is free, Neng. If you want to print pay. Hehe..”.


“Not consistent! Don't fucking do it. Yuk Mas is back.”


“Print everything yes, Ki. I wait at the place to eat.” Andre decided to print all the photos that had been taken by the photographer even though Shinta still seems to disagree with it.


“Muhun, Kang. Hatur Noah. Waiting for ya, Kang.”


***


“Kang! Here's the photo.” The photographer gave five photos that had been printed and immediately paid for by Andre.


“You see, Mas!” Shinta who had disagreed and continued to grumble over Andre's decision was seen to be very enthusiastic about the photos.


“Tadi said he did not want..” Andre said.


“This is me ugly. The photographer was not interested. Oho! Forgot to ask for the softfile! Mas let's follow the photographer later I edit so that it's better to keep printing again.” Shinta excitedly pulled Andre's hand but Andre did not budge in the least from his seat.


“I asked for it. I will send. Now we go home yuk. Malem also.”


“Oh yes..” Shinta is back to reality. It came back to me that this man was not entirely his.


A man who has more responsibility than being his guardian.


About thirty minutes away, they arrived in front of the hotel rented by Shinta.


“Assalamualaikum” Shinta said then grabbed Andre's hand to kiss his hand as a sign of goodbye to her husband.


Andre kissed Shinta on the forehead and replied “Waalaikumsalam” and passed by his car.


What a day!- Shinta


She is beautiful when she smiles.Andre
