The Tarnished Wife

What matters is having first, love affairs later

Rara, Reihan and her two children are now walking towards the parking lot. They had finished visiting the place. Rara has also purchased some of the materials she needs to fulfill her promise to the Moon and stars.

In the car, Rara was a little more silent. The direction of his eyes drifted to the window or windshield while looking at the road. Rara recalled her meeting with Zayn earlier. He also remembers his encounter with Zac and Zoey. I don't know if Rara misses the twins. Being around them is fun, not to mention their way of speaking that looks more mature than their age.

Reihan gave a quick glance towards Rara who had been silent from earlier.

“You're fine, Ra?” reihan asked, but Rara was still daydreaming and did not hear his question.

“Ra, are you okay?” Reihan asked again, but Rara still did not answer until Reihan had to touch Rara's hand.

“Oh.” Rara was surprised by the touch.

“Sorry, Ra. From earlier you daydreamed and did not answer my question.”

“Oh, Sorry. Yep. I daydreamed,” replied Rara while rubbing her face.

“Thinking what?” ask Reihan.

Rara rubbed her shoulders. “Entahlah. I'm also confused.”

“If you want to share. I can be a friend to share a story.”

Rara turned towards Reihan and smiled. “Thank you.”

Reihan returned the smile, then refocused on driving.

Arriving at Reihan's house, they rest for a while, but not with Rara. The woman arranged the groceries Reihan had bought earlier.

Reihan with his two children were still relaxing in the family room.then, a few moments later, he followed Rara to the kitchen.

“Ra, rest saaj, have not been done,” said Reihan.

“I also helped Auntie, Mas. Nothing at all.” Rea smiled at Reihan's maid.

“Iya, but I've been troubling you for one week.”

“It’s okay, Mas. I also like your repotin,” replied Rara.

“Tomorrow, Mom's home? Who picked up?” ask Rara.

Reihan nodded. “Yes, I'll pick you up directly. It just so happens that the work is not solid anymore. You want to come?”

“What time?” ask Rara again.

“Landingnya hour one fifteen.”

“Means mom to Jogja airport first?”

Reihan nodded. “Iya, there Mother ushered her nephew.”

“Oh. But at one o'clock, I'm still teaching Mas.”

“Iya. Yes, tomorrow permission first, you rest first in the morning. I'll pick you up at sebelasuban.”

“Emang not what permission?” rara glanced towards Reihan.

“Ya nothing dong. Later I will ask permission directly to the principal of TK.”

Rara smiled. “It has the owner of the foundation.”

Reihan laughed.

The Zayn house. They had just arrived at the house. Michelle took over the groceries and tidied them in the kitchen with Zayn's housekeeper.

“Zayn, you why? From there on diem aja.” Jack asked who had seen his boss moody.

Zayn and Jack sat in the television room.

“Gue meets Rara, Jack,” said Zayn.

“Oh, yes? Where?”

“In the mall earlier.”

“Huft. You are the same he is a soul mate like him, because wherever you stand, he is always there.”

“Even he's every ahri with me, Jack.” Zayn said softly. “Zoey it duplicates her really.”

“lu know, he's sorry I,” said Zayn again.

“Easy then?” asked Jack to look. “Lu must be made right?”

Zayn laughed and nodded.

“Basic.”

“Ngga of my choice Jack.”

“Terus?” ask Jack again.

“He's the same Reihan and his kids. I see them very familiar. Cave envy Jack,” said Zayn.

“Reihan who is it?” ask Jack again.

“She's the owner of the foundation where Rara hangs out. Who nolong Rara fit in that hotel,” replied Zayn.

“Then get him now. Before the first person again.”

“Gue not confident, Jack.”

“That's what I don't want. I want him to marry me because he loves me, Jack.”

“Halah, too idealistic of you. Now the important mah have first, love affairs later.”

Zayn smiled. “Crazy lu. Uh, wait. Don't you deketin my adek by way of kek gitu.”

Jack just grinned. “Lizard basics.”

“Mending me a new lizard, if you are already a crocodile.”

They laugh too.

After being at Reihan's house long enough and making cakes with the Moon Star. Rara finally tells Reihan to return to his apartment.

“I'm home yes, Mas.”

“OK. There's still plenty of Ra, make it all. Thank you for Monday Moon and Stars,” said Reihan took his jacket and helmet.

He will take Rara using motor sport, considering the location to the aaprtenmen was not far.

“Sama-sama, Mas.”

Coincidentally the Moon and the Stars are asleep, because all day they are active and quite tiring.

“Mas nothing anter me home? Though I can ride ojol aja,” said Rara.

“Apaan anyway, Ra. Yes I should anter dong! I have no responsibility if I let you ride ojol.”

Rara just smiled and put on the helmet Reihan gave her.

“Sini, I installed.” Reihan advanced his body to attach a helmet to Rara's head and hooked the object so that it would not be easily detached.

Outside the fence, Zayn accidentally sees the closeness between Rara and Reihan. It's actually an ebrniat to stop by Reihan's house this afternoon, as well as give him a little souvenir from Paris. However, it seemed like he had to go home again, as it turned out that the time was not possible.

Again Zayn's heart again sore to see Rara close to another man. In the past, he gave up Rara for his sister, what now he also has to give up Rara for a good man like Reihan who he also considers like his own brother? Does he have to do what Jack says by exploiting his two children to get Rara? I don't know.

Zayn returns to the sport bike, until the sound of the bike makes Reihan and Rara turn her eyes out of the fence.

“So anyone?” ask Reihan to Rara.

Rara shakes. “Ngga knows. I also don't see.”

Reihan just nodded, because he did not see the presence of people out there, or he did not realize the presence of anyone because he was engrossed with Rara.

Then, Rara rode a sports bike that Reihan had ridden. Reihan propels his bike at medium speed.

Fifteen minutes later. Zayn's motor stopped at the apartment lobby. Then, Rara went down and opened the helmet that was assisted by Reihan.

“Still, yes.” Rara smiled at the handsome man who had always appreciated Rara.

“I thank you.” Reihan smiling. “You are many, Ra. You've made the Moon and the Stars laugh now.”

Rara nodded. “Sama-sama. I also look. I'm not lonely.”

“Thank God. Yes, if so, I go straight back. Rest, Ra.”

“Oke.” Rara nodded her head again.

Then Reihan restarted the engine and left.

Rara entered the main door of the apartment and ran towards the open elevator. “Wait.!’

Someone in the elevator held the elevator door by pressing a button inside.

“Thank you.” Rara smiled as she nodded her head in a sign of respect to the man who was being kind enough to press down on the elevator to keep the door open.

The man smiled and nodded his head.

Rara stood in front of the man while playing a cell phone. While the view of the man can not be separated from Rara. The man continued to look at Rara's waajh closely because all this time he only saw Rara from a photo.

“It turns out to be true, he looks a lot like Zoey," the man's inner self with a smile.

Rara who felt noticed also turned a little. However, the man quickly turned away so as not to be found out that he was researching this woman's face.

They were both in the elevator.

Yes, that man is Jack. Just this time Jack saw firsthand the woman his boss adored. This woman is indeed beautiful, if you have to be given a value with numbers maybe almost get the number ten.

“To be honest, Zayn is so infatuated with this woman,” Inner Jack.

Trings

The elevator door opens right on the emapt floor. Same floor as Jack. Then they went out together.

“It turns out we are neighbors,” Jack said to Rara.

“Ah, yes.” Rara smiled awkwardly.

Then he immediately decided to walk first and Jack deliberately followed him from afar. After Rara enters her apartment, Jack immediately photographs the door number and sends it to Zayn.

“You know, Zayn. He's my neighbor. The woman you adore. Mother of Zac and Zoey.”

Write Jack through whatssapp message after photo sent. Then Jack smiled. “Hopefully this time, you guys are dating.”

Jack smiled, he knew enough how the struggle Zayn raised Zac and Zoey in the midst of himself who also pioneered a career. Also, how Zayn withstood the great longing, love, and guilt in the woman. Fortunately, there are families who accompany these difficult times.
