The Woman Behind The Scenes

Chapter 54 - Don't Care Any More!

“I'd like to meet Handi. You want to come?”

“Handi again ..” murmured Dara in an annoyed tone. Tomi breathed.

“Hmm. Precisely because I don't want you to be suspicious, that's why I asked. I'm just gonna meet you, have a chat. It's nothing. That's why come with.”

There is a truth also that Tomi said, and Dara certainly did not want the man to suddenly go home with a bag of marijuana after meeting with his friend.

“I wait in front. Come ready for the kids.”

“Ah don't Aa. I want to play with the kids.” Tami, who suddenly entered the room that was not closed the door, was seen being engrossed with Kayla in her carriage.

“Yakin, Tam?” Dara wanted to convince herself again.

“Iya. There go only.” His brother-in-law answered it briefly.

There was no harm this time Dara went with her husband alone, because she also wanted to talk about something. Her husband's chat with a bunch of aunts and uncles who came was quite disturbing his mind.

Tomi stops in front of a newly built mall not too far from her mother's place. He clasped his wife's hand, walked from one floor to the other, and stopped at a fairly crowded foodcourt.

“We wait for Handi, yes? I think it's still on the road. I called but didn't pick up. What do you want to eat?” ask Tomi to his wife who looks quite tired taking care of her two children who are quite fussy. Children who are accustomed to the weather in Bandung, always fussy when it comes to Jakarta.

“Later. Wait for Handi to be together. Drinking might be good. Al-“ juice

“Avocado juice, do not use sugar, use lots of sweetened condensed milk, lots of ice. Yes right?” Tomi cuts off his wife's talk with complete detail. Dara smiled, a little laugh.

“Iya. That one ...” she replied and her husband immediately moved to order what he wanted.

Drrrt!

Tomi's phone in front of her was shaking. A notification of incoming messages can be seen clearly, and Dara became a little curious to cheat the contents. He pulled the phone towards him a bit, and saw the incoming message.

Farah: [When? 5 Million would not be enough. Not to mention buying gifts. ]

His mood suddenly changed seeing the message. He was always annoyed with such messages, especially now that they were pioneering from 0 and no one had a definite monthly income.

“What else, anyway?” Tomi was a little upset, and picked up her phone, then read the incoming message.

He sat down, then replied to the message with a serious look on his face, while Dara with a slightly hateful look looked at his typing fingers.

“What else? We have nothing yet. How many requests from there?”

“Raffi birthday. To celebrate. Buy a gift too. That's it kok.” Tomi replied in a more relaxed tone, trying not to cloud the atmosphere.

“Kio is also a birthday. Where was it ever celebrated? What'd you say? Save it! What else did you say? Not important. Continues?” the sharp tones just came out of Dara's mouth, even when the juice was delivered, Dara did not make small talk.

“I said I didn't promise. I said so to Farah.”

“Gagging? Poh. Say no, not promises. Money from where?”

Tomi breaks their table, and at once the attention of some people is on them.

“You're always the way to make a noise. Why anyway? Know that I just stayed you at home.”

“Do not switch the conversation! I'm again talking about your behavior that does nothing never discussed with me as a wife. I'm your wife, Tom. Everything you want to do, it's good to talk about it together. Where's that much money? We should save. Not necessarily my efforts are many. Oh one more! I've never heard anything from you about creating a branch for each of your children in Makassar. Anyway, it was my effort!” fiery Dara spoke long without the slightest breath. Tomi looked at his wife furiously, while Dara also did not turn her gaze away. This time, what he said made sense.

“You are a girl! Wife! You have no right to set me up, set the household. The business you say you own, not yours. We're husband and wife. The business belongs together, but I am the husband! I'm the head here! I have the right to decide where the business is going! I have the right to see where the money goes in and out! Understand?” the furious voice finally came out again after many years of inaudibility. Tomi took his cell phone off the table, and left just like that to leave his wife there. Dara has no intention of pursuing her husband. Not even calling. He also tried to defend his opinion this time. Sick .. maybe that was the most appropriate thing said by him. As an independent woman who always has ideas and opinions, she does not want to be a puppet Tomi for too long. Inevitably, in any way, she must awaken her husband to account for his feelings and opinions as well as in all decisions.

“Sial! Who the hell does he think he is? Goddamn it!” Dara grumbled to herself, snorted in annoyance and then sipped her juice. His head was not calm, and he was eager to shout to tell Tomi his opinion clearly.

Dara always held back her emotions. At least in these six years he has held his tongue a lot, because Tomi is not a person who easily accepts advice from others let alone women.

Dara quickly finished the juice. His head was full of emotions, and he could not stem his feelings this time.

He opened his cell phone, and ordered a taxi online to drive him home to his in-laws.

While walking to the pick-up spot, his eyes tried to look around, wanting to know if Tomi was still around.

“Fuck!” his grunt was irritated, speeding his way up when he saw the car with the police number he ordered had arrived right at the lobby door.
