Second Woman

why marry me

.....

My car drove at medium speed towards the outskirts of Pematangsiantar city, precisely in the area of Tanah Java.

The left hand held the steering wheel in control, while my right hand held up the chin I was leaning against the window.

The air feels warm. But because along the journey filled with oil palm plantations make the wind coming from the window feel cool.

I looked at the street a little crowded by the vehicle. A sunny Sunday like today definitely makes some people want to spend time outdoors.

Ah, if the situation is not like this, I will invite Riani to have fun.

In a sharp corner, I could already see the intersection towards my in-laws' house.

Car shaken. The cobblestone roads made my car slow down. On the left right the simple houses lined up tightly. The population here is quite dense and the majority of their profession is a laborer in the surrounding plantations.

The green painted house was already visible from fifty meters away. My heart was beating too hard. The warm Eve was cold and my stomach was starting to break. What happens when I get nervous and make mistakes.

What I'm going to face in a moment I don't know. All I have right now is a knack.

The car began to enter the yard of the house overgrown with a tree rambutan. This tree always bears fruit when it arrives in season. For a moment I thought of Riani. My wife will whine spoiled telling me to take the rambutan that is always swarming with black ants.

I open the car door and get down. I saw a sweet girl standing at the door. She is Anita. Riani's sister who is still sitting on the lecture bench.

He smiled gently and nodded then entered his house.

I set foot on the porch of my in-laws house with a slightly trembling body. But I have set my heart on accepting all the consequences. My goal today must be achieved. I want to fix everything and bring Riani home.

"Well, there's Ryan's son."

I turned my head and saw my female in-laws nodding and gesturing for me to enter the house. When stepping through the door of my eyes immediately caught the figure sitting on the corner seat.

It's Junaidi. Riani's Father.

His eyes are staring hard at me. Of course he's angry. Huh! What the hell am I thinking? There was no way he would welcome me so well. It was impossible for his daughter not to tell him about our problems.

I tried to avoid my in-laws' gaze by spreading my gaze around the house. Looking for Riani's figure but I didn't find her. There was only Anita and my mother-in-law who were already sitting on the chair.

"Sit, Son. Your father-in-law wants to talk." My mother-in-law's voice jolted me and immediately obeyed her words.

Silence reigns. Uneasily. That's how I felt because Riani's father just kept quiet and looked at my face fixedly.

I wanted to open my mouth, but I was confused where to start.

"Now what do you want?"

That sudden question made my forehead wrinkle. This guy is so simple and straight to the point.

I took a deep breath, gathering all my courage and determination.

"I don't want a situation like this, Dad. I want to pick up Riani and fix everything. Everything that happened was just a misunderstanding."

I heard she's screeching cynically. "Misunderstand what you say? My daughter saw her husband kissing another woman and you said it was a misunderstanding? That so?!"

"Patience, Father." My mother-in-law's voice tried to calm her emotionally-appearing husband. Ah, I should thank him.

"I've been trying to avoid that woman, Dad. But he's always intending wherever I go."

"Now I'm going to ask you," he said as he lit a cigarette. "If you see Riani kissing another man, will you accept the reason for the misunderstanding she gave you?"

I fell silent. Kulirik Anita who looks at me with pity. My sister-in-law rarely spoke. As long as I am her brother's husband, our conversation can be counted on the fingers.

"I'm sorry, Dad," I said softly. In this situation the guilty one is me. Then I have to go down and down if I want to get sorry.

"But I could have sworn that it was all an accident. There was not the slightest intention of me to betray Riani."

My father-in-law laughed. Not a pleasant laugh, but a laugh that mocks me.

"Aren't you on purpose, huh? My daughter is not perfect. It's only natural that you're looking for a woman who's more perfect than him."

Kuraba which way this conversation is going. Does he think I'm looking for a replacement for Riani?

I shook my head quickly. "Dad's thoughts about me are very wrong. I love Riani sincerely. Otherwise, why would I follow Riani here."

"Easy, Dad. Do not extend it again. Poor him." My mother-in-law helped me again. I saw her touching Anita's hand and whispered, "call your sister. The problem must be solved immediately. Don't let it drag on."

Anita nodded and moved from her place.

I feel a little relieved because I will soon see Riani. If the situation was not like this, I would have hugged him in the room since.

Anita appears with Riani behind her. I looked at my love's face. His face is very flat. As hateful as she was to me even after leaving the house she did not cry at all. Evidently from his eyes that remain brilliant even though a little one when looking at me.

There was no sign of him crying all night.

I threw views. How stupid of me. What I was thinking. How could she cry over this incident, especially if she only knew that Ana had fucked her complaint last night.

But I made a determination. Riani has to come back. No matter how Ana would interrupt our marriage.

Which until now I am still confused by Ana's attitude. What he really wants, I can't guess.

The money? He never asked for it. Or does she want to be my wife? That's very impossible. Especially I am a married man. We just got to know each other anyway.

"So how's next, son?" Mother-in-law's voice disturbed my daydream.

I raised my head and looked at Riani who was already sitting on the sofa. His eyes are looking at me sharply. The usual soft and friendly Netra disappeared somewhere. But I realize. I'm the cause of the net fading.

"As I said, Mother. I just want to fix everything."

"You came here to fix it?" Riani spoke out straightforwardly and I replied with a nod of the head.

He's whining. His expression was disgusted at me. "Then you got the wrong address, Ryan. The only thing you need to fix is your dirty brain."

I'm stunned. How harsh his words were and it made my heart throb. But Riani's words didn't get there.

"Aren't you not willing to go with a disabled woman like me? Then why do you still want to come here? Why aren't you with that perfect woman you've been pinning her lips on?"

I just kept staring at him. Let him vent the accumulated uneg-uneg. Both my in-laws and Anita went to watch our debate.

"If you really want to get married again, you can say it honestly. I am sincere because I am aware of my condition. But not in this way, Ryan."

She cried. Swiping his face up to the head which makes some of his straight hair messy.

"Already, Riani. It is free to use emotions in the moment. You better tell me what you want, why and how next."

My father-in-law lit his cigarette again. I'm still quiet. Let them take control for now.

I looked at him in disbelief. "Darling ...."

He threw away his face and said, "I can't accept this, Ryan. Don't force me to take everything."

After saying that, he got up. A few steps away from where he was sitting, he turned his head and said to his father. "My decision's been unanimous, Dad. I want a divorce."

Just as Riani was about to step back into the room, the sound of knocking on the door made us all turn at once.

How surprised I was to see Ana standing there, with a defiant face and still in my clothes!

Crazy one! This woman is really crazy.

"What are you doing here?!" my snapping.

I heard Riani laughing. "Finally the main character was present as well."

I shook my head while looking at my wife's family one by one. I can see Junaidi's face hardening. Not to mention the look on my mother-in-law's face that looked very disappointed. While Anita only expressed flatly.

"Other reason, Ryan? Still wanna say that everything you did was an accident? Was the shirt she was wearing that was also an accident?!" Riani looked at me in flames.

I don't know what to say, especially. Why do you just blame me? At least help me get away from Ana. Hajar him. Hit him. Like everyone else when they find out there is another woman approaching her husband.

I was just about to say something when Ana made a sound and stepped in and grabbed my hand.

"You allowed me to have you last night. But why are you even coming here now?"

My teeth were struggling with anger. I want to tear this woman's body and donate her meat to the Animal Park.

"Enough, Ryan!" Junaidi's voice boomed. "My house is not a place of disgusting human conversation like you. Out!"

"But, Dad ...."

"Get out!"

I'm speechless. I put my feet out of there quickly. I heard Ana's footsteps following me from behind.

"Ryan ...," whined.

I turned around and grabbed her face. "What do you really want, huh?!"

I saw his face grimacing in pain. Then I saw Anita standing at the door staring at us with sharp eyes. I let go of my hand and got into the car.

"Ryan, I'm coming."

Ana tried to open the door I had locked from the inside. I turned on the car engine. I didn't notice the knock on the car window. But just as I was about to run the car, Ana came up ahead.

My breath is getting irregular. My emotions are at their peak of seeing this woman. I have to teach him a lesson.

I opened the car door and he came in with a smile. He could smile after destroying me.

I drove the car at above average speed. I could see from the corner of my eye that Ana was looking at me with a frightened face.

Ho ho ho ho. He was afraid of high speed. After arriving at the junction that I just passed, back escape the gas pedal until aground.

Mobilju is sliding fast. Some two-wheeled vehicles I overtook with agility. Kulirik Ana who sat glued with her eyes looking forward palely.

"Why, Ana? You scared?"

I laughed out loud. Let go of the words I felt. I realized that there would be no more chance of me bringing Riani home. All because of Ana.

The car is getting faster. Ana also grew pale.

"Don't you want to be with me, Ana? And now that I really want to crash this car, do you want to come with me?"

I laughed again. Especially when my eyes see a truck that transports palm fruit in front with a distance of fifty meters. I put the gas pedal back on and got closer to the truck.

"Ryan!"

Ana screamed hysterically beside me. As soon as the front of my car was about to touch the back of the truck, I pushed the brake pedal until it ran aground. Causes a shrill squealing sound.

I knew what I was doing was madness. Luckily there was no other car behind me. Otherwise, there would have been a collision.

I looked down at the steering wheel and like a very weak person, I cried.

"You won, Ana. You did it."

Ana did not answer. I raised my head and looked at Ana who was looking down. His eyes closed and made my blood stop flowing.

"Ana?"

There's no answer. I put the car on the side of the road and opened the seatbelt.

I lifted his pale face. She's fainted.

"Ana." I pat her cheek a little hard. I hope he wakes up soon. But there was no sign that he would be conscious.

I restarted the car's engine and immediately slid into the nearest sick rune. The Hope Hospital was my choice because it was the closest one right now.

All the way I was shaking. Regretting what I just did. Ah, how regret has always approached me lately.

I occasionally noticed Ana still fainting. What's gonna happen next?

I dare not imagine. This woman really makes me have to pump my mind with all my might. Until I almost forgot one fact from last night. I realize it all. But since emotions still control me, I ignore everything.

Ana's still a virgin.

That's what I got last night. I became the first man to break through that bloody fence.

And now he's in this condition because of me.

Until this moment I still feel Ana's motive to destroy my life.

The hospital gate is visible. Immediately I got in and stopped the car right in front of the IGD door.

A few officers in white started taking care of Ana. Take her to the cold room and leave me outside.

I turned my head down which felt heavy. After this, what else will happen?
