The Tarnished Wife

Realizing defeat

Chequelek

Kemal opened Reza's room door. “Za, let's get down! Lots of guests downstairs. There's your sister there.”

Reza. “I don't want to see them, Pa.”

Kemal took a rough breath. “That means, you still haven't changed, Za.”

Kemal no longer knows what to do with his son. He had all sorts of words thrown out, from subtle to coarse, but it seemed Reza still did not understand. The man still could not accept his fate.

“Terasu. Anyway, Papa is waiting for you to be brought,” said Kemal firmly and passed from that room, leaving Reza who is still pecking in that room.

Kemal's back down. He hasn't been with Sanjaya for a long time. This is a rare atmosphere after their two daughters divorced.

“Loh, Ra. You want to eat duren?” asked Kemal when he came down the stairs and found Rara eating the fruit with Zayn.

“Forced Zayn, Pa,” whining Rara.

Kemal smiled, because he had seen Reza forcing Rara to eat the fruit when Rara and Reza were still husband and wife. However, Rara did not want to try the food at all, even though Reza had persuaded and begged, but did not succeed. And now Zayn is succeeding. Kemal increasingly realized that Rara was indeed worthy with his adopted son.

Kemal smile. “Ya spent.” He walked over to Sanjaya and his grandson. There is also Noah who is in the middle with Mia and Mirna.

“Huuuh.” Rara burped hard enough that Zayn heard the sound and laughed.

“Hmm .. My mouth smells Zayn. Udah Ah,” said Rara who no longer want to eat the fruit.

“But good right?” ask Zayn. He finished eating the food and wiped his finger with a tissue.

Then, he took the tissue and rubbed Rara's fingers that were also dirty after eating the fruit.

“Enak.”

“Eatya cobain first, just said no want. Like that time you also don't want me to eat it you.” Zayn directed his eyes at the sensitive lower part of Rara's body. “Eh, the moment already herasain now addictive right?”

“Daddy ... What the hell? Uncertain.” Rara was embarrassed and she stood up to leave her husband who was still sitting on the sofa.

Zayn laughed at Rara's expression that was flushed red in embarrassment.

“Mending me to the kitchen help Auntie make a snack for the kids. Bye,” led Rara to her husband and Zayn again smiled until Rara again mocked by sticking out her tongue when she was far from Zayn's reach.

Then Zayn turned to the children and the parents. Zayn approaches Noah who is playing with Zac and Zoey. Then Noah invites Zac and Zoey to the indoor game area Kemal prepared for his granddaughter to play. Kemal provides one room like a game room in the mall. Zayn was keeping the kids in there.

“Hai, Nda? Again for what?” ask Rara who approached Manda who was in the kitchen.

“Eh, Mbak.” Manda turned to look at Rara and smiled. “Custom Rainbow Cake, Noah's favorite.”

“Zac and Zoey also love that cake. Almost every day, I make that cake at home.” Rara laughed as Zac and Zoey scrambled with Zayn to eat the cake, like those who snatched away at night.

“But my creation is not as good as made by Mbak Rara. Sometimes Noah also said, he wanted the one made Mother.”

Manda smiling. He also remembers moments like this. In the past, when they just became friends, Rara did help make this cake at her home in Bandung. Right now, neither Rara nor Manda knew that they had the same husband.

Rara and Manda are in the kitchen. The two women made a cake together and Bi Nani left the two women to talk freely.

Manda occasionally turned to look at Rara who was stirring the cake dough. “Mbak Rara is getting more beautiful.”

“Oh, yes?” Rara turned towards Manda with a smile. “Masa’ anyway?”

Manda nodded. “I'm happy to see Mbak Rara happy.”

Rara smiled back. “Yes, life is weird, Nda. But I followed his path. You know my story and Zayn?”

Manda nodded.

“From who? Mama?” ask Rara.

“Not.” Manda. “From Bi Nani.”

“Oh, yes. Bi Nani is considered an old man. He is very close to Zayn.”

Manda nodded her head again. They were silent for a moment, until Manda again made a sound.

“So actually Mbak doesn't love Mas Reza?” manda asked carefully to make Rara stop her activities.

Rara looked at Manda's face. Then, smile and slowly nod. “Antara is amazed and love is different thin. And, I used to not know that.”

Manda's tears returned. It feels like a weapon eating sir. Rela is trapped in the confinement of a married man and hopes to be loved by the man he loves because it has the advantages of the woman he loves, even even the victim because fate goes not as he expected. The wife of the man he loved who was considered deficient was not a woman in need. Rara has Zayn, the man who tirelessly loves her sincerely. Rara also has smart and healthy twins. Rara loves another man and not her husband. Instead of being a second wife who is in love because it has advantages also run aground.

Manda must be willing to live with a man who is always in the shadow of his ex-wife, because it turns out Reza who is crazy about Rara, not Rara who loves Reza and will be willing to be combined.

Manda laughed at her naive self.

Behind the room, Reza listened to the conversation of two women who had been his wife together. At that time, Reza was very happy because he had Rara to channel the desire to make love that he did on the basis of love and had Manda as a woman who printed her offspring.

After Kemal left his room earlier, Reza thought for a moment and tried to strengthen his heart to meet the people gathered below. Finally, Reza wore polite clothes to go downstairs, not to meet the people there but just to meet Rara. Really, Reza misses that woman a lot.

However, when he came down it turned out that everyone was busy with their respective activities in their respective rooms and did not see his presence. Reza hears Rara's voice faintly from the kitchen. He immediately switched there. At first Reza's lips smiled widely when he saw the figure of the woman he missed. The woman who now cannot be touched by him.

As her lips turned to smile, Manda suddenly asked a question that caused Reza's ears to be wide.

Nodding the head that Reza saw after the kramat question was thrown from his wife, making Reza's smile no longer widened.

“Antara is amazed and love is different thin. And, in the past I did not know that,” said Rara earlier, making Reza's heart again sliced.

Reza is too jumawa when Rara returns her love. He thought since the teenager Rara was crazy about him, because Rara did often show the gelagat at that time. Then when he dares Rara by marrying Manda, he thinks Rara will accept it because Rara loves her and the woman has flaws.

Reza leaned his body against the wall. He is too arrogant, too selfish, too selfish. And now, he realized why he had lost.
