The Tarnished Wife

Very homesick

After Reza leaves, Rara picks up her phone and types a message on Manda.

"Sorry, I can't seem to be on Noah's birthday. Since last night my stomach has relapsed and has had a little fever. Please forgive me, Nda. I'll stop by your house when my body's gone. I haven't given Noah a gift either."

Rara gave emot a smile and hugged after typing the message.

Then he put the phone back on the table. A few minutes later, Reza called.

Rara smiled when she saw the name on the screen. It turns out that the husband was really with his words. It's only been half an hour that the man left, but he's called.

"Hello."

"Darling, how are you doing?" ask Reza.

"I'm good, Brother." Rara smiled as she placed the electronic object on her cheek.

"Eat already? taking medicine?" ask Reza again.

"Yes, this is just about to eat. I'll finish eating, just take my medicine."

"I'm worried, honey," said Reza Lirih across the street.

Reza called Rara when she was in the room. Outside Noah is engrossed with the EOs and the costumed clown Captain America, while Manda accompanies Noah.

Instead of accompanying Noah, it turns out that Manda peeked at her husband's activities in the room. She was a little curious about what her husband was doing there, because when he passed through the slightly open room, she heard the word 'honey' from the husband's mouth. Words that Reza never said to him. The words Manda was eager to hear from her husband's mouth remembered her giving offspring, something she knew that her first wife could not give.

Manda stroking the chest that hurts. Is he jealous of Reza's first wife who doesn't know who? Manda did not know and did not want to find out to keep his heart from getting hurt deeper. Let them live with different roofs and not know each other.

Manda is not aware that it is precisely at this time, fate is closing them in.

"I'm fine, brother." The sound of Rara's crisp laughter made Reza there smile.

"Alright, hearing your laughter means you're fine there."

"Yes." Yeah." Rara nodded.

"Why bring what?" ask Reza.

"No need, the important thing is that you go home quickly."

"Yes, Honey. I won't be long."

"Okay, bye." Rara was about to hang up, but Reza still wanted to talk to his wife.

"Are you tired of hearing my voice?" ask Reza sulking.

Rara laughs. "If you keep calling me, when is your business done."

Reza laughed too. Then they ended the phone call.

Reza's smile was still engraved when the phone connection was deflected and staring at the electronic object. While outside the room, Manda's heart was getting sliced at seeing that. If with her, the husband never displays that smile and laughter. Is he so disgusting? Does he not deserve to be loved? I don't know, but clearly Manda was fascinated by Reza from the first time she met to work as her secretary. Sarasmanda was fascinated by Reza's good looks and assertiveness as a leader.

Reza got out of the room and rejoined his wife's son.

Reza took over Noah from Manda. He was carrying a cute and handsome boy.

Manda stood beside Reza. He smiled broadly as he wrapped his hands around Reza's arm, which was holding Noah. Guests come one by one. Some of them are neighbors who live in this complex area. Manda also invited a few of his best friends who live in this city.

Shortly thereafter, the show began. Excite all the guests there singing happy birthday to Noah. So did Reza and Manda. Reza laughed as Noah blew out the candle. The boy was upset and crying. Then Manda and Reza helped blow the candle out.

Fortunately, Rara was not present at the event. It is inconceivable how the fate of Noah's birthday party, if Rara is not sick and present in this house. It could be, the neighbors increasingly scorned Manda because it proved to be a grabber of people's wives.

****

The sky is getting dark. Rara repeatedly glanced at the clock on the wall. But the husband did not come. He breathed his breath rough, because again Reza broke his promise. This is often the case for Reza over the past two years, so Rara has gotten used to the promise thrown from her husband's lips.

"Huft, he said for a while, but until now has not come home" murmured Rara.

Reza called exactly an hour ago. The man reported that he could not go home quickly because his business was not finished. And, once again Rara understood that.

Reza was prevented from returning home because Noah's tubes suddenly became tantrums as he was about to leave. Neither Reza nor Manda could calm the little boy. As a result here Reza continues to accompany the son to play until tired and asleep. After that, he just came home.

Time shows at seven o'clock. Rara was bored in the apartment. He also went out to breathe the night air. The apartment building that Rara and Reza live in is flanked by hotels and malls. The mall was no bigger than the Mall when Rara met Manda, but quite a lot of visitors.

Rara was already outside the apartment building. The plan is to just take a walk in the outside area while enjoying the night city in the big city after Jakarta.

Rara walked with her head down or occasionally she looked to the side. His eyes went around looking at the atmosphere there. He also read one by one the culinary offered in front of the building area while still walking casually. Rara did not direct her gaze to focus forward, so she also did not notice someone who was walking opposite while focusing on her camera and also did not focus on her steps.

Then, suddenly Rara's steps collided with that person.

Brucks

Rara's body immediately staggered back and fell to sit down.

"Aww .. Sshhh ..." rara groaned as she rubbed her b*k*ng.

"Sorry, Tea. I didn't mean it" said the person who sounded in Rara's ear with a male-typical voice.

Rara is still down. While the man was extending his hand to help Rara who was still sitting.

Rara raised her head, until the two men looked at each other.

Deg

The man's heart seemed to stop for a moment when he saw a face that he had not seen for almost five years. The face he always wanted to avoid even though his heart did not want to.

"Zayn," called Rara with a smile.

Hah, Zayn's heart seems to be watered by thousands of types of flowers. Finally, he saw the smile again. As if the longing was gone instantly.

Rara immediately got up and hugged Zayn's body. This woman still does not remember the incident. Whether Zayn is grateful or sad because Rara is still not healed, evidenced by his memory that has not returned full.

"I miss you, Zayn. You seem to disappear in the swallow of the earth." Rara hugged the body of the man who was still sculpting expressionlessly. Unlike her who was so euphoric seeing the presence of Zayn.

Rara loosened her embrace. "You're Zayn, right?"

He stared fixedly at the face, worried that he was wrong but Rara could not forget the annoying face, because Zayn was often making fun of him since childhood, saying he was spoiled, too girly, and catfish. However, Zayn is always ahead when he gets into trouble and is always a good listener when complaining.

"Zayn, it's you, right?"

Zayn nodded. Defense weak. Then, he pulled Rara's body to be hugged back.

"I miss you too, Ra. So missed."

Rara raised her hand and accepted the hug. It felt comfortable even more comfortable than her husband. He has been aware of that since Zayn's departure. Really, he misses the hug of this guy.
