Rahul's words made Shreya smile a little behind the tears that slightly wet her cheeks.
"All right, you wait here. Let me meet the man" Inevitably Rahul finally approached the bald man, rather than him having to see Shreya crying in a public place like this. It's not funny.
"Excuse me Mas" Rahul greeted the man stiffly. The plontos-headed man looked up and looked at him in wonder.
"Mmmm...." Rahul felt confused in choosing the right words, to express his purpose that wanted to stroke the head of the man.
No way, he did it right away? If the person does not accept and is angry? Not funny if he gets hit in a public place like this?
"Can I say something?"
"Yes please" The bald man was still staring at him in wonder.
"Look, that's my wife" Rahul pointed to Shreya who was standing some distance away and looked at them. "He's a big pregnant. Mm..... He is currently cravings. And.... His dream is....." Rahul was getting clumsy to talk to the point.
Had there been any other alternative he could have done, to avoid him from the task of petting the slippery head of this man in front of him, he would have done it. But unfortunately, this is like a state task that must still be carried out even though he feels reluctant.
"He wants me.... Squeezing Mas's head...." Withholding his pride, Rahul finally conveys his purpose.
"What do you mean?! Want to suck me up? My head is bald?!" Rahul's words made the man ignited emotions until he stood up with his eyes glaring.
"Mm, please don't misunderstand me first. It's purely the wish of my pregnant wife" Rahul raised his hand. His head looked dizzy looking at the people passing around him.
The bald man's loud voice caught the attention of the other visitors until all stared at them strangely. This made Rahul ashamed of being the center of attention.
"Let's say, in exchange, I'll pay whatever you ask. Would it be 50 million, a hundred, or an M? Just mention it. This is my contact person. Let me call my assistant to take care of everything. How's it?"
Finally Rahul negotiates by handing over his person contact, so that the problem is resolved and avoids the commotion.
"Rahul Aryan Dirgantara?" The man read the name on the contact person. Then he glanced at Rahul. "Ja-so you're this, the son of the owner of Dirgantara Group?" He asked with astonished eyes.
"I-iya" Rahul's attitude is still clumsy.
"Well! It's an honor for me. Rahul Aryan Dirgantara met me! Do you want to elus-elus my head? Go ahead" The bald man smiled and spoke as warmly as possible.
Makes Rahul smile amusedly. You weird guy. Angry, now very friendly. But yeah, that's it. What matters now is that what he wants is already earned. The bald head of the man. Because there is permission from the owner.
********
That part! Up again! Down again! Ahahaha!!" While picking up the scroll, Shreya cheerfully gave a cue about the parts of the bald head of the man that should be treated Rahul. He enjoyed the view so much that he laughed.
While Rahul could only endure the embarrassment, when he had to keep stroking the head of the man sitting next to him, and become a spectacle of people going back and forth who saw him with strange gazes, until they all giggled. It's like watching a clown sircus.
"Mas is a great husband. His patience is incredible to face his pregnant wife and cravings. Very different from me. I, when my wife was pregnant, never once did I comply with her wishes. Even though he cravings, whatever, I am very bodo.
If he's still whining, I slap him, he's silent. But seeing Mas treat Mas's pregnant wife lovingly, made me regret Mas. If I had been a little patient with my wife who was pregnant with my child, she would never have left me"
The man with the head of the plontos told a long story with a sad face. Makes Rahul and Shreya feel amused.
But of all the words of the man, the most attached to Rahul's heart are, the words of the dream husband.
Does that name deserve him? After he did not know he dared to glance at other women, when his wife was getting a disaster until it was declared lost?
Even worse, she is the wife of her best friend. It was always a burden on his mind. On the one hand, he did not want to betray his wife and best friend. But on the other hand, he really couldn't stay away from Shreya.
Because he felt very comfortable being near that woman. The same feeling he felt, when he was with Zahra was blind first.
********
"Haha! So you have to claim to be my husband, so that the bald man will allow you to stroke his bald head?" Shreya laughed out loud in the car hearing Rahul's ridiculous story.
"Thank you yes" Shreya smiled sweetly.
"Hem?" Rahul frowned.
"For everything. All sacrifices. Especially for her" Shreya held her stomach gently.
"He's still fine here because of you. If that night you hadn't rushed me to the hospital, or given up when it took me, we might not be in the world today. My baby and I owe you so much"
Shreya lirih. Makes Rahul feel overwhelmed to hear it.
"Don't go too far. I just did what I had to do. And I'm sure whoever was in my shoes at the time would have done the same" Rahul tried to speak as often as possible, so as not to accentuate his true feelings.
"Can I say something?"
"What?"
"Your wife is a very lucky woman, for having a husband like you"
Rahul fell silent at Shreya's words. He stared at the woman intensely. Then speak in a soft and serious tone.
"Do you feel lucky too, to have a husband like Dawn?"
Shreya glued to Rahul. He did not know what answer he had to give, to the question the man had asked him.
********
They arrived home at ten o'clock in the evening. The exhausted Shreya seemed to have fallen asleep in the car.
Feeling unbearable, Rahul chooses not to wake the woman. Slowly he lifted up Shreya's body and carried her carefully, so as not to disturb her sleep.
"Master's home yet?" Susan's mother welcomes Rahul as soon as he enters the house.
"Yes"
"That's Miss Shreya....?" Susan was surprised to see Shreya sleeping in Rahul's arms.
"He was exhausted, so he fell asleep in the car. I'll take him to the room. After that I'm going to sleep too"
"Yes, sir"
Rahul continued his steps. Leaving Miss Susan in a gawking state saw her who was so familiar and attentive to Shreya. To make the middle-aged woman a little suspicious and restless.
Where have they been this way? Why did you just come home this night? And what exactly are they doing? As a person who has worked with his family for almost 25 years, Ms. Susan knows very well what Rahul's life has been like.
For almost three years his master lived in a slump. Like a man who lost his soul, because he had to accept the fact that he was blind.
Even it became a trigger feud between him and his family, until Rahul chose to leave his extended family. After returning in a state of being able to see again, their relationship slowly improved.
But the fall still enveloped Rahul. His young master was still a figure who did not have the spirit of life. Because he had to lose his wife who was pregnant with his child in the flash flood tragedy.
But these past few days, the look of sadness and downturn he had seen Dimata Rahul, seemed to be slowly diminishing. Even his young master looked cheerful. Sometimes the sadness still exists. But it's not as big as before. Was it all due to Shreya's influence?
Honestly, Miss Susan was happy, if Mr. Rahul could forget the sadness after losing his wife. And find new hope in his life. He also thinks of the man as his own son.
But he wished that the woman wasn't Shreya. Do not lose his wife in a state of pregnancy, making Rahul become enamored of the figure of Shreya who is also two-bodied.
To make them both involved in a forbidden relationship, which can make the family relationship between Dirgantara and Lazuardi. Ms. Susan desperately hoped that her estimate would miss.
