Should I Joke (Again)
64. Don't be selfish
The office is still a little crowded, because still not all go home. Rei's car is there, although often teased and mocked by a million people's cars, Rei still survives using the car.
According to Rei, the car has historical value and started from a non-playful struggle. Since being accepted to work in one of the banks BUMN Rei did set aside some of his salary to save because he wanted to buy a car from his own sweat.
His papa often offers Rei to replace his car with a new one, but Rei does not budge. For him as long as it is still comfortable to wear even though it is old and the machine is still good he does not matter.
Even her car given by her late husband was much nicer even including the luxury car Rei rarely used. Since Rei did not like to show off, she would only take the car out of the streets if Rei missed the figure of her husband.
Rei will only do regular maintenance periodically, or take it if he goes home to his parents-in-law. To honor those who already consider Rei like their own daughter.
Parking his car right next to Rei's, Reza got out and stood next to his car. He saw Rei walking with some of his friends while conversing. There was a sense of kangen seeing her smile, a smile that some days was missing from her ayu face.
"Rei, we go first. You seem to have been picked up. Look" said one of his friends.
Rei looked in the direction his friend pointed. Reza smiled at him, but Rei was indifferent. Still walking regardless of the hand from her husband.
Rei walks over to his car, and his friends begin to move away to where their vehicles are parked. When she was about to open the car door, Reza suddenly took the key. Put it in his pants pocket.
Rei starts to get upset and tries to ask for his car keys carefully. But Reza did not heed, even he accidentally opened the door of his car so that Rei entered.
Rei wanted to dodge, but if he refused then others would know that his household was not doing well at the moment. Rei chose to give up and follow her husband's will.
Get on the bench next to the wheel, and wait for Reza to start the car. Reza smiled victorious because there was no rejection from his wife. As he was about to exit the parking lot, Rei said.
"Stop at the security guard post, I'll drop the car first." Despite being ignorant and impressed by her stupid past, Rei still respected her husband. Reza nodded slowly, and stopped his car where Rei asked.
Rei opens the door and exits, meeting two security guard posts who already know him often even put Rei motorbike or his car. After that Rei returns, and Reza drives his car.
Today Reza wants to spoil Rei a little, hoping his wife will forget his silly request for a divorce. Reza entered the mall courtyard in the city, Rei only resigned to follow the wishes of her husband.
Since Rei knew, there was a point in it, especially if it wasn't about their divorce. Rei thinks her husband must have received a subpoena from the court. Yeah might want to ask Rei to cancel it. Thank you if Rei retracts his charges.
Rei followed where her husband's feet took her, her hands constantly being held by Reza. They went into some accessories and jewelry stores. Buy Rei a set of diamond jewelry. After that she again invited Rei to the boutique where his subscription, Rei again could not refuse, even Reza chose her two beautiful dresses that even Rei himself did not intend to buy, Rei said, not because he could not afford to buy but he prefers to save his money for his future.
Let alone said stingy that is important when he needs to have money, do not ask let alone borrow here and there according to Rei. Moreover, he will not work forever because every year there will be a change of employees. The young will replace the old.
Satisfied to invite Rei shopping and carrying some paperbags, Reza then invited Rei to dinner, the pleasure of being able to invite Rei to enjoy the road tonight, it did not make him forget the hunger.
Several times Rei caught the sound of his stomach, which made Rei smile. And Reza loved it, the smile she was waiting for. It was not in vain to make Rei smile again even if it embarrassed him.
After a dinner that felt awkward because neither Rei nor Reza had a voice open to each other. They ate in silence, as if no matter around him Rei enjoyed the food more.
Reza continued to pay attention to Rei, although still not finished he stopped his meal and was busy looking at Rei's indifferent behavior.
Eating, drinking, playing hape, never once turned his head towards her, even when Reza took Rei's right hand and grasped it Rei was silent.
Reza doesn't like this, the awkwardness makes him even more guilty of his actions. Rei did not budge, as Reza kissed his hand and said he wanted to fix everything.
Dinner is over, shopping is over, but Reza doesn't want to go home soon, still wants to linger with his wife. Even before getting out of the shopping center, Reza took her back to an underwear outlet.
"Oh no..." Rei bathed, he remembered that when Reza and the woman walked into this store, he even followed her.
Rei begins to feel uncomfortable, especially when Reza says Rei is free to choose anything there, even asking the waiter to help him.
Rei did not want to be swept away, even though his heart was very sore, but he could not lose. Let it be, he just wanted to settle this whole thing and live a quiet life.
Rei became fed up, recalling the time the woman struggled spoiled with her husband after demonstrating one by one her choice of lingerie. Rei threw away his gaze, and slightly turned his back on her husband so as not to be caught there was currently a tear in one corner of her eye.
Reza paid for everything with his credit card, even he then gave her a credit card. Rei was confused as her husband put down the card.
He did not feel the need because his salary was still very enough even more than enough to finance his life, even the bonus he got was never touched.
Not to mention the savings and deposits from her late first husband, the, and also sometimes Rei get remittances from his in-laws who say the results of the sale of fruit and vegetables from Anton's garden which is still managed by his parents.
All of Anton's possessions have been replaced in Rei's name, according to the deceased's trust. Mr. Hadi wants Rei to enjoy his old age as a farmer like himself, as Anton wants.
That was more than the money Reza gave during Rei's husband. Reza never knew that. And Rei does not want Reza to know, not to cover up but to keep the possibility that is not good as said papa Hadi.

The two of them reached home, Reza could not bear to ask Rei about the divorce.
Entering the room that had long since ceased to exist life, even the atmosphere they felt was different. No more cheerfulness, as if representing the feelings of the hostess.
Rei was still acting as if nothing had happened, different from Reza. Her husband even looked agitated. Pacing back and forth, briefly sitting for a while standing up, sighing violently.
Rei had finished cleaning himself, put on his full skincare and took off his sleeping robe, he then climbed onto his bed. Not looking at her husband in the slightest, Reza approached and grabbed Rei's hands.
Rei didn't try to let go of that hand, he just let it go. Until Reza started it.
"Rei..I asked you please answer honestly, did you file a divorce lawsuit with the court?" Reza looked at the two shady eyeballs, trying to look into them.
"No, not me but my lawyer." Rei answered his question.
"But you asked for it, right? you told him to." Reza
"Of course, is there a problem?" Rei
"Why Rei, why do you want a divorce?" Reza
"If one or both people are bound in a marriage bond, no longer feel comfort, can it still be maintained?"
"Can two heads with two different thoughts continue to be in the same space without any debate?"
"What's every single thing we want we have to get?"
"What's all going to say is fine whereas the truth is we're not okay."
Rei spoke at length, he let out his heart. Exactly as she expected, if her husband was going to sue about the divorce.
"But everything can be solved without divorce, we can talk about it." Reza
"Click Rei, don't be selfish."
