The Tarnished Wife

Lost from range

"Mbak Rara.” Husna hugged Rara.

Today is Rara's last day teaching at the central school. Everyone knows, Rara resigned, even though she still works at the Foundation branch near the house of the owner. Rasmi, Nayra. Widya, and Husna don't even know that. Only Reihan knows this, because if any one of them knows where Rara is, so it does not rule out Yasmin also know and when Yasmin knows then Reza will know where Rara is. Rara really wanted to get away from that guy. He wants Reza to take responsibility and focus on his own family.

“Ra.” Ratmi, Widya, and Nayra hugged each other.

“Ra, why do you have to resign?” ask Nayra.

“New atmosphere driver, Nay.”

“But we can still meet ‘kan?” ask Nayra.

“Absolutely. Now, technology is advanced. We can video call together.”

Nayra nodded.

“I must have lost you, Ra,” Widya said.

“Iya, Ma'am. Me either. No one will buy me again for lunch. Or bring me a cake to make a snack in kosan.” said Husna.

Rara laughs. It is also hard to leave coworkers who are like brothers like them. Whether in a new place, he would make friends like this again or not. But obviously he moved not just for himself but for Manda and Noah.

Somehow when he found out that Reza was still following him, he was worried about Manda. Honestly, Rara did not feel the pain again in the woman who was pregnant with Reza's second child, instead she was upset with Reza's attitude. That man has to change.

Plaques

Ratmi hits Husna on the shoulder. “What's serious, Na? This is again sad really.”

Rara laughed, while Husna nodded seriously.

“I'm serious too, Mom. Nih see my eyes are wet.”

Rara laughed again and patted Husna on the shoulder. The five of them hugged each other like teletubies.

“As farewell, we go to Mall xxx. I bought a full meal at NN's Japanese restaurant. How?”

“Mauu ..” exclaim Widya, Nayra, Ratmi and Husna.

Husna's voice was the loudest.

“Eating turns, very fast by the way, earlier in the sound class slowly he said lemes,” Ratmi told Husna.

Husna. “Yes is not lemes because it has not eaten, Bu.”

“Alesan,” replied Ratmi.

Then, they rushed to the mall. It just so happens that the teaching and learning activities are over and the time they go home, but they have fun first to the place that Rara offers.

Rara says goodbye to Yasmin before returning home.

“I must have lost you, Ra.” Yasmin hugged Rara.

“Thank you for everything, Ma'am.” Rara said.

“Sama-sama. Me and Mas Ilyas are really shocked by your tragic story. Whereas all this time, you and Reza have been examples for me and Mas Ilyas. You guys are harmonious and always friendly.”

Rara smiled. “Well, that's how life is. Mbak.”

Yasmin nodded. “Yes. Is correct. The important thing is to remain grateful, because every path that God gives must be the best for his servant.”

Rara nodded. “Ya, right.”

They embrace again, and Rara comes out of the principal's room.

****

For almost a week, Rara was in a new school, although still with the same owner and name of the foundation. Luckily, here Rara also has a fun teaching friend. Not much different from Bu Ratmi, Nayra, Widya, and Husna. Only, here there is no unmarried like Husna. And this is precisely Rara who became the smallest in terms of age. It can be likened in this place precisely he who became Husna, single and youngest.

Kindergarten teachers at this school are not too much, because the students are not as much as in the center. The foundation was only established four years ago.The largest number of students are in Primary and Secondary school programs. As for the upper secondary students, they have not yet started. Reihan plans to begin opening the program this year.

“Mbak Rara his friend Pak Rei, yes?” ask Miss Risma.

“Iya.” Rara nodded. “But don't call Mbak, yes Ma'am. Call Rara aja, because the age of Rara here is the smallest.”

“Oh. Yes, that is it. I was afraid I wasn't polite.”

Here, all teachers greet each other even though they teach in different educational programs.

“Sore, Ms. Rara.” A female teacher who came out of the First High School building.

“Sore, Bu.” Rara bowed part of her body.

Rara stopped her steps right in the school garden with flowers in bloom. He inhaled a lot of air, before leaving the building and returning to the apartment.

Really, no more tightness in the chest. He was happy with this new atmosphere. He also has a work partner whose age is far above. He often gets calming tips, because every word that comes out of the lips of Bu Risma is meaningful according to him. And, it became a new spirit for Rara.

On the other side.

Brakes

Reza opened the door to his house. Today he is in Bandung and wants to spend the night at his wife's house. Until now, Reza has not inaugurated his marriage in the country. Manda is still the wife of Siri even though Reza already has no wife other than Manda. However, Reza is reluctant to register Manda with the office of religious affairs, he still hopes Rara will return and fill the position as his wife again. But that's impossible.

After opening the door, Reza immediately sat on the guest sofa and pressed her temple. He's dizzy because since this one week, he hasn't seen Rara. He tried to visit some of the ex-wife's activities, but did not find Rara.

Rara suddenly disappeared from her reach. Especially after he sought information from Yasmin and said that Rara had resigned, then settled in a distant city. Reza believes that, because he did not see Rara at his parents' house anymore. However, he still has not found where Rara is now.

“You're home, Mas.” Manda said after seeing Reza's arrival.

Reza was silent and did not answer Manda's question.

“I make warm water.”

Reza nodded. Again he did not speak. Reza's voice was only for Noah. In front of Manda, he only voiced out if there was anything important, the rest of them were just silent.

Manda was about to leave Reza to the bathroom in her room to prepare for the needs of her husband who had just returned to work.

“Where is Noah?” ask Reza to stop Manda steps that are about to pass.

“In his room. He naps at three o'clock, so still not awake.”

Reza got up and passed from Manda to his son's room. He left a suit, tie and a pair of shoes in the room.

Manda just shook her head to see the habits of her husband.

Later, Reza saw her son who was still asleep in the room, she looked at Noah's face and caressed him. Maybe if it wasn't for this kid, he'd have gone far. Maybe if it wasn't for this kid, he wouldn't have survived with this household and still kept Rara. But, what his ex-wife said was true, the fact that he had this child and the child that was still in Manda's womb.

Reza lowered her body and peeked at Noah's forehead several times. Then, he came out of the room to his room with Manda. The room that bears witness to the awkwardness of two human beings.

Chequelek

Reza opened the room door and saw Manda tidying up the clothes she would wear later after cleaning herself. Manda turned to Reza at a glance and put the clothes back on the edge of the bed.

Reza looked at Manda's increasingly filled body. Manda's stomach already looks distended and her payud*r* was a little bigger.

Reza approached Manda who was still with his activities. Then, he wrapped both his hands around that waist.

“I want,” whispered Reza right in Manda's ear.

Manda smiling. Finally, Reza wanted himself back after a long time he ignored her. Manda's happy not to be a bitch. She took every touch that her husband gave her.

Reza started the action. Long enough, he does not touch Manda, the last time he touches Manda in the apartment the day before Rara finds herself kissing the forehead of the woman and child Rara knows in the Mall.

Reza began to lead Manda to the bed and lay down the body. He opened up all the threads that were attached to that body and his own body.

“Ah,” gobbled up Manda as Reza kept raining on hers.

Reza is looking for satisfaction. Let go of the desire that it is time to escape. He's a normal guy, he needs a s*x. Although making love with Manda is not the same as Rara, because if with Rara he really feels lovemaking. With Manda, it is just a need.

Kick for the sake of stopping Reza did because he was about to blow something out of his body.

“Rara,” cried Reza as the release arrived. “Oh, Rara I love you so much.”

Deg

Sontak Manda. The pleasure he had initially felt was lost after hearing Reza mention the name of the wife who was no longer his wife.

Reza collapses and falls beside Manda's body, closing her eyes in exhaustion. While Manda, suddenly his tears fell.

“This is a punishment for me who took it from you, Ma'am. He still can not I have even though Mbak is no longer on his side,” Manda said in his heart.
