THE SOULMATE FROM HELL
20. NINETEEN
In the end Umbara decided not to bother about the two photos sent by his best friend's son. After all he even knew that his wife still had a boyfriend when she married him and how hard Umbara told him to leave the man, his wife obviously did not want to listen to him.
So why is he still upset?
Maybe the man in the picture is his girlfriend. What is clear is that whoever the man is will not change anything.
So to calm things down he tells Juhi that the man is a friend of his wife and he also knows her. Hope the teenage girl will understand .
“Mas Bara.”
Bik Atun's shrill voice calling out to him, awakened Umbara from the daydream.
“Yes. What's up, Bik.” asked later.
Bik Atun hurriedly said, “Tuh, mbak Tari sama mom udah home.”
Umbara. His mother and wife walked into the house together.
“You've come home?” her mother asked first.
“Ya.”
“Tumbens. Not busy with you?” mom sat on the couch in front of him. His speech was deliberately made insinuating.
“Should still.”
Gendis tilted her head, with a strange confused expression.
“I still have 5 more exhibitions to take care of, Ma.”
“Hem.” Gendis murmured, then said, “So after the 5 exhibitions are over you will take your wife away for the honeymoon, right?”
“Ngak.”
“Heh!” Gendis glared at Umbara. “What the hell are you?”
“I will make my own exhibition, Ma.”
“Reason alone keep you.”
Seeing his mother's increasingly fierce face, Umbara then explained. “Actually I have planned it for a long time, even before mom told me to get married.”
Gendis Atmojo did not accept. “You can delay first.” he said. “Sunday or two weeks will not be a problem, Bara.”
“...”
Betari, who had been silent since, called her mother-in-law. “Ma..”
Gendis Atmojo turned lazily towards his daughter-in-law, who was sitting next to him. He actually knew that the two people did not want this marriage. But it was easier for him to persuade Umbara to accept this marriage L—eh, not this marriage, but to accept Betari. Umbara was very understanding with himself and Ivory, so that his son easily agreed with their request wholeheartedly. While Betari...
Hadehh!
He is difficult to manage and wants to win on his own. Somehow Juan Salim made his grandson dare not oppose him. Even so Gendis knew that Betari was actually a good person. It's just that not many know. Otherwise he would have thought a million times to make her Umbara's wife.
“Why?” Gendis asked in annoyance. “You want to follow busy as well as like your husband.”
“Ngak, Mom. But I'm really busy. Next week me and the team have started production for our first mini web series. And the plan is that there will be at least one mini web series that will air every week. Later if it's already aired mama don't forget to watch.”
Gendis sighed in annoyance. “You are really outrageous.”
Umbara said nothing. While Betari yawned widely and then said his opinion to Gendis Atmojo, “Aduh, Ma.. After all why go honeymoon all, will only be a waste of time and money, right.”
Gendis stared at Betari unhappily. “So do you think so?”
“Ma..” Betari approached her mother-in-law and stroked the back of her hand. “Aduh, mama don't get angry, dong.”
Gendis Atmojo sighed. Yes, it is. His plan this time has failed. Two against one wins two.
Maybe he should be more patient. The time they have is long.
Gendis whispered to her daughter-in-law. “You don't cheat, Dance.”
“Don't we never make any rules, Ma.” Betari said.
“Hem.” Gendis. There was a faint grin at the corner of his lips. “You will definitely lose, Tari.”
“We'll see later, Ma.”
“She won't like me either.”
“Then you will like him.”
“But in the end we will still divorce as well.”
Umbara who saw the two people before him whispering to each other could only frown and the next second said that he would return to work.
Not long after Umbara left, Gendis Atmojo came home with Atun's bik with him.
After everyone had gone Betari laid her body on the sofa and turned off the lighted television. He felt unwell, his head was getting dizzy, his stomach was full and made him uncomfortable, he had lunch twice today. And he closed his eyes.
Sump. The shadow of the incident this afternoon made him angry and upset. Not 24 hours had passed he had to see the bastard, again. It must have been a coincidence that the bastard saw him there, but not for last night. Uh, what's that bastard looking for? There is no place for traitors.
I don't want to see her again. Forever.
His hands were raised to cover his eyes from the bright light of the lamp and disturb him.
Betari also decided to take a short nap and forget for a moment all his business today, including his work that piled up. She hoped that Lala would not nag her again tomorrow because lately she had often left work to her.
It was night when Betari woke up from her sleep. There was a sheet of blankets covering his body and someone seemed to have moved him into the room. She was sure that the man was her husband.
After cleaning himself in the bathroom and replacing his scuffed dress everywhere with an oversize white shirt with a picture of Kim Taehyung's face. Betari went out of her room to the kitchen.
Betari, who was going down the stairs, did not pay much attention to her own steps well because she was too excited to sing BTS—'s Dynamite song on one side of the stairs to the first floor. The window was not curtained so it clearly showed a dim backyard by dim garden lights. Betari flinched and screamed as the corner of her eyes caught the figure of a huge black shadow that flashed across the grass—her body staggered and she could not control her own body movements.
He slipped and did not have time to reach the handle of the stairs so that his body rolled to touch the bottom of the stairs.
Betari was dizzy, and she was lying on the floor grimacing in pain feeling her whole body being extremely ill. For he who had just fallen from the mid-stair of the stairs to the last step.
Umbara woke up to the sound of screams that seemed to be in his house, he immediately remembered his own wife. He then came out of his room intending to head downstairs— where his wife's screams came from.
He quickly went down the stairs and approached his wife who was still lying on the floor with a very clear expression of pain on her face.
Umbara crouched down in front of his wife and extended his hand. “Are you okay?”
“Ngak. My body hurts all.” he said. “Help me to stand.”
Umbara put his hand on his wife's shoulder. Then Betari put his hand on Umbara's shoulder and tried to get up. He was just about to stand up when he realized his right leg was hurting so much.
Betari hissing with a stifled groan. His face looks very painful.
Understand the state of his wife, Umbara slowly carrying his body. “We are going to the hospital now.” he said firmly.
“Hem.” muttered Betari who was now looking up at her husband's face—explore and secretly judge him. While both of his hands tightly hugged the neck of the man who was now carrying him out.
Being stared at like that made Umbara uncomfortable, she felt a bit awkward. But there was no time for him to feel awkward. He had to take his wife to the hospital immediately.
They're going to the hospital, of course.
Umbara put Betari in the back seat so she could straighten her legs. Then the car went to the highway. Not far from their home there was a very large area hospital. They will go there—Umbara will take his wife there.
Umbara asked his wife, “You why did it fall?”
“So I saw a ghost. I was shocked to fall.” he said.
He stared at Betari through the rearview mirror inside. Umbara thought Betari had fallen because his wife was sleepy. “Maybe you saw it wrong or just your hallucinations alone.” he said trying to calm down.
“Hem. I don't know.” says Betari.
Once you arrive at the Betari hospital you can immediately be checked by a guard doctor. Because it's midnight so there aren't as many patients in line as there are in the morning.
Because he only sprained and he also did not experience other symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting due to bumping, then after bandaged and treated, the doctor allowed him to go straight home.
Umbara pushed the wheelchair with Betari sitting quietly on it, leaving the emergency room and was about to take medication at the pharmacy. A guard doctor who had been treating Betari told her friend, the nurse who had helped her, that they were a very compatible couple. “In addition they are beautiful and handsome.” he continued which was directly approved by his friend.
“Gemes really fitting earlier his wife said do not want to be left to take medicine.”
“Suami is cold type but quietly attention is not, anyway?”
“Hem. God I want one that's like that.”
For a while the doctor and nurse were still talking about them.
