 23: Arrival List

Jose's face flushed. He doesn't know what to do. There were people around who looked at him with laughter. At first Jose was confused as to why they behaved like that. But now Jose understood what he meant.

"Why didn't Mama try to resuscitate Jose?" jose asked annoyed.

"Yaaa 'cause Mama knows you're angry again. And Mama doesn't want to, if you blame mama if Mama talks about your clothes," replied Mama casually.

"But now Jose's embarrassed, Ma."

"Yes, change your clothes. What else?" 

"It was you who took my shirt" said Jose, who did not know where else he would be put on his face because of his foolish behavior today.

"Well, you're good. You are an adult and you have to solve your own problems. Didn't you see Mama's legs are gone next door. Do not act like your mother's old son. Now you're an adult. No need to be directed anymore. Go to your car and change there," said Mama firmly.

Jose hurriedly walked to the parking lot. There were many people looking at him with strange looks, some were stunned and some were laughing. Jose berated himself who did not see the appearance due to anger.

After putting on his clothes, Jose opened the trunk. He picked up the box and brought it in front of his mother.

"What's this?" ask Mama curious.

"Let's box, Ma," replied Jose.

"Yes. Mama knows it's a stockbox. But who did you ask who and who cooked it for?"

"It's for us and Inda cooked."

"Then why did you leave Inda after she cooked us food?" Mama is really not out of thought with the behavior of her youngest son who is getting outrageous.

"Go back to the beginning. Jose's upset to see Inda."

Mama shook her head. "Don't because your wealth, brains and conscience are gone, Jose."

Jose just stared at his mother.

"The law of karma is valid. Now that you treat her so badly, there are times when someone treats you worse than this when in your hard times" Mama recalled.

"Mama swore at me?"

"No. Mama didn't curse Mama's own son. She warned me, God never sleeps. Now, Mama hope you pick up Inda and apologize to her! Mama doesn't want her to be nice to you and you're ignorant like this."

Jose who did not want to make his mother sick finally went after Inda.

"Don't forget to take her to see mom after you guys get better!" mary shouted as Jose walked away leaving her.

Jose took his vehicle. Shortly after, he arrived at the villa.

Jose's looking for Inda everywhere. But not found Inda anywhere, in all corners of this house. Jose asked Mr. Kuwa, but Mr. Kuwa was silent.

"Sir Kuwa. Answer it! I asked Mr. Kuwa!" the fear of losing Inda really haunts him. 'Come on, where are you, Inda.'

"Did-in .. room."

Jose's forehead shriveled. "I've been looking for my wife everywhere including the room. But why is he even there?" jose did not accept.

Jose opened the closed door. Instantly the two Jose's blinds rounded wide after he saw a woman lying face to him in clothes lacking material.

Jose frowned. 'Is this true Inda?' Jose doubtful. Because the face of the woman in front of him is very similar to Inda. But the nature ...the woman in front of him was so aggressive. Not like Inda. But even so, Jose still approached the woman and touched her chin. “Do you want to repeat last night, miss?”

Suddenly, Jose's voice was cold and firm. His eyes were sharp as an eagle until the woman in front of him looked clumsy. “Em, yes. L like it. Can I do it again?” ask the woman whose voice sounds nervous.

Jose smiled slanted and tore off the woman's clothes.

"Why are you ripping my shirt off?" ask the woman not to accept it.

"God!" Jose laughed disparagingly. "I think my wife called me 'my dear husband'. Not me-you," replied Jose with his handmade wreath. He brought the face to the woman's ear. "Areally who are you, miss?"

The woman looked frightened. "I'm-I'm your wife, Jose," said the woman in a voice that was completely similar to Aninda's.

"Tell me clearly, who are you!?" jose's voice was rising. He gripped the woman's chest so tightly that she groaned. 

"Please stop, Jose," the woman asked.

Jose pulled the corner of his lips, while screeching. "My wife is just Aninda Antari. Are you Lista Dehendra's man?"

"Tid-no."

Jose felt indignant hearing that annoying answer. He again resorted to violence by gripping the woman's shoulder. "Tell me honestly! I want to know who told you to come up on my bed without even shyly saying you're my wife?!"

"I'm your wife, Jose!" the woman shouted half angry.

This makes Jose even more sure that the woman is not Inda but someone else. ‘Inda 'is the one who likes to cry; no matter how small the problem’. Jose seemed to understand Aninda's behavior even though it was less than a week they were together.

"Again I ask. Who are you and who told you to come up on my bed? Oh yeah, one more. Where's my wife, woman!"

"I'm your wife, Jose. How many more times do I have to say?!"

Jose rolled his eyes in surprise. She was in disbelief, this woman was so stubborn that she refused to acknowledge who she was other than Jose's wife.

Then Jose remembered one thing. “You Lista Dehendra?” ask Jose carefully.

Suddenly the woman put her hand around Jose's neck. She smiled seductively, "You finally understand. I'm your wife, baby."

Jas stayed away he didn't believe he'd ever see Lista again. "Where is my wife?!"

"There's ahead of you, Jose." The wet hoarse voice was aimed at teasing Jose. Lista stood up and approached. He touched the chest of Jose's field with his index finger, then displayed an eager expression that clearly deeply swayed Jose's faith.

"I mean Aninda Antari. Yes, she's my wife, not you!" jose answered nervously.

But Lista shook her head. He put one of his hands on Jose's shoulder. His gaze was very alluring. Lips dabbed with bright red lipstick as well as a puffed-up shirtless chest clearly bothered the minds of normal men like Jose.

"How could you have cheated so blatantly, my husband? Called the name of the other woman behind me. You're mean!" Those crocodile tears are so sickening to Jose. The list really made Jose even more disgusted to see it

Jose shook off Lista's hand and said, "Lost that sign and tell me, where is my Indaku?" jose asked annoyed.

"I'm your wife! She's not. So why are you still looking for him? Let you just touch me, baby," said Lista who suddenly kissed Jose's neck.

"You're crazy, Lista!" Maki Jose who keeps trying to hold back his passion for women who are trying to provoke hidden passions in him.
