Should I Joke (Again)

65 Take it or leave it

Rei's tears escaped just like that, in vain had been his defense all this time. How she had to cover up her disappointment, her pain so easily her husband said that.

Rei knew it was useless to make a defense if it was finally broken so easily that he even said that he was the wrong one.

"Mas tell you not to be selfish?"

"Mas forget who's been selfish all along? Do you remember how many times you took me to work, do you remember how many times you gave me a living, did you ever ask me if I had eaten, did I sleep well, did I sleep well, or am I happy with this marriage?"

"Mas never asked, as if he didn't care about me. Mas just want to be noticed but mas do not want to pay attention to others including his own wife."

"What I have in mind is just to meet my birth needs with all the facilities and money that I have."

"What would you like to keep two different birds in a cage, and they can never be together."

Reza was astonished, how could his wife say that. Reza's feelings start to feel bad, he catches the insinuations from his wife's last sentence.

"Does anyone know what it's like to sleep alone when it's cold and dark and her husband feels good with other women."

"How should I smell the perfume of another woman in my husband's clothes almost every day. What it was like to see my husband making out with his mistress in a public place, going shopping together and even buying lingerie that should be more appropriate for his legal wife, going into a hotel and having sex*x not just once but a few times."

"What's worse is that she's pregnant, whether it's your son or not, I don't know and I don't care"

Rei took a breath and exhaled, before finally returning to let out his uneg-uneg.

"Either what else will appear after this, after you cover your series marriage, even your parents also participate in the marriage. They approved of your marriage because they wanted to have a granddaughter that should be from your legitimate wife, me, and hoped that you would be fair to your wives."

"After this what else is mas..what else?" Rei shouted, hitting her husband's chest, she was furious, even the tears that came out had already drenched her face, which looked pale.

Reza was stunned how his wife could know everything, all the lies he had covered up. But he was relieved, finally Rei found out even though it was not from his own mouth.

Rei sobbed, the emotions he had been suppressing all this time had finally come out already, there was nothing he was covering up anymore. Somehow tomorrow, the important thing today is that he has taken out all of his stuff.

Reza approached, holding Rei stroked his black hair, stroking his back. And occasionally pecking his head.

Her tears drenched her cheeks, filled with guilt that she hadn't even noticed.

Reza tried to calm his wife down, he ignored her too much even very very much.

Rei then revolted, out of his wife's arms. Still a bit of a headache and reddened eyes.

"Tell me who he is, tell me" Rei uttered in a cold tone.

Reza looked at him, Rei returned the glare of those eyes sharply.

"He's Lia, my assistant who's only been working a few months right after we got married. She was my first love, we first met when she was at her divorce hearing because of the KDRT."

"After our first meeting, he called me again saying he needed a job. And since I was busy and needed an assistant so she started working that day."

"Frankly I wanted her again, let alone our relationship breaking up because she was betrothed to the man who was her husband."

"We meet every day and every moment, and we don't refuse if we still feel the same way."

"And finally we're getting intimate, and yeah like you said. Yes, it's all true."

Reza sighed, not yet did she exhale. Rei again railed at him with a question.

"Mas love her, right?" Reza nodded slowly.

"Tell me what a hell she's better than me your wife."

"Say"

Rei snapped, Reza was stunned only this time he knew his wife's vicious side when angry.

"She's beautiful, sexy and spoiled." Reza

"And I like it, it's very different from your wife" Rei said.

"Oh I mean, I'd rather a spoiled sexy woman, who's smart to warm you up in bed, than a simple woman who doesn't even know how to satisfy her husband, do you?"

"Jawab mas"

Rei could no longer slow down, his emotions exploding again. Reza was confused to explain. He finally had to say it too.

"Yes Rei, I like spoiled women because I feel needed. As for you, you all do it yourself, you don't even need me."

"So I blame you, all because I can do it behind my back."

"You're evil, you're the same as me."

"You can talk if you like your wife like what, we never even have a pillow talk before bed, only now. Only now are we both like this."

"You just came home and went to bed and asked for your rights as a husband. But never did you ask me or ask me to wear your favorite shirt, no. Even as long as we get married I can count how many times we make love, make love without love because every time we do it always imagine someone else."

"Wake up you've taken care of all your needs, and you're glad I did. I've been watching all your needs."

Reza nodded, what Rei said was all true, and he had to admit that.

"Okay, what do you want now. I'll accept my decision" Rei

"I want you to stay here, by my side as my wife. But I can't let go of Lia either, I love her."

"So you want me to be your legal wife, but on the other hand she is also your wife, a wife who is married under the hands and without the permission of the first wife."

Rei's chest felt tight, sick..

"You're a selfish man, you can't live with just one woman."

"You made your wife a widow because of a widow, you realize it was a woman"

"No. It's not like that Rei, you're both my wives. Now and forever, Rei."

"Enough!"

"Now choose me or him!"

"If you choose me, he will stay, but if you choose him, then leave me."

"Take it or leave it"

Rei did not want to say anymore. She was crying and crying, she just wanted to cry for now.

Reza could not answer, suddenly his voice choked. Reza again embraced his wife and hugged her.

"I love her, and I can't leave her because she's pregnant with my son. As for me. I want you to stay by my side because I need you."

Rei shook his head, his eyes were already swollen from too many tears. It turned out that it was only in her husband's life. Not more.

The two of them were silent, Rei was still as unwilling as to make him a little claustrophobic. Not moving, not rejecting her husband's embrace, for her let him give up tonight, because tomorrow he will take over the situation.

A while later Rei was already looking calm, although it still sounded as unwilling but there was no movement from him. Reza let go of his embrace and saw his wife fall asleep.

He then laid his wife down, fixed her sleeping position, covered her, then stroked her head and finally pecked her head.

His guilt came back, it turns out that all this time he was too busy with his world to forget his wife, ignoring her which is clearly legal and religious, he said, and choose to have fun with the woman of his first love who is so seductive.
