Two Rings

Patience Rissa

Today, Rissa is preparing breakfast for her mother and husband.

Dion and Anna's mother were ready to wait at the dinner table, occasionally they were also heard laughing together.

"Oh yes, Yon. Where are you planning on going on vacation?" Ask Anna's mother.

"Vacation? Where's the holiday, Mom? Besides Melati has not proposed to go on vacation yet," Dion replied casually.

When Rissa was putting food on the dining table, she also heard the conversation Mother-in-law and her husband.

"Kok Melati, I'm talking about your holiday with Rissa." Anna's mother made it clear.

Rissa was silent, and so was Dion. He forgot that he had two wives.

"Sorry, Mom. I forgot there was Rissa" said Dion.

Rissa turned her face away, trying not to show her disappointment.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it. Sa, is breakfast ready?" Ask Anna's mother.

"Already, Mom."

"Yes, we have breakfast now."

Rissa nodded and sat down on the chair, she chose to sit next to her Mother-in-law.

"Why sit here?" Ask Anna's mother.

Rissa was confused, "why, Mom?" Ask.

Anna's mother sighed, she had to put more effort into bringing Rissa and Dion closer.

"Sit next to your husband" asked Anna's mother.

Dion and Rissa looked at each other, then she immediately moved to sit next to her husband.

Rissa took rice for her mother-in-law, and she intended to do the same to her husband.

"No, let me." Dion refused, and grabbed the plate that Rissa was holding.

Rissa did not dwell, she chose to be quiet.

"Strong, Sa. You must be strong" Rissa told herself.

***

After breakfast, Dion decided to sit in the garden behind his mother's house.

Anna's mother deliberately asked Dion for a few days off work, of course he did so that Dion and Rissa increasingly have time together.

Rissa was making coffee for her husband when he walked up to Dion, overhearing Dion's conversation with someone behind a cell phone.

"Dear, I'll pick you up tomorrow. You okay, is your mother's house?" Dion asked Melati inside the phone.

Rissa heard Dion's sweet words to her first wife, which made her a little envious.

Rissa walked up to Dion, and put the coffee on the table beside Dion.

"Darling, it was a long time ago, yeah. There is business" said Dion.

Dion glanced at Rissa, and told her to sit down.

"You heard my conversation with Melati?" Dion asked, and Rissa simply nodded.

"Good then, so there's nothing I have to cover. You must know how I feel about Melati, so I'm sorry if I can't..."

"I understand, Mas. I don't mind if you're being nice to Ms. Melati, because that's your duty. I have to go to the kitchen, excuse me."

Rissa chose to interrupt her husband's words, it felt like she could not bear to hear a sentence stating that her husband could not be so sweet to her.

Dion understands the attitude of Rissa, he also actually does not want to be in the position now.

"Yon, I want to talk." Anna's mother disperse Dion's daydreams.

"What's up, Mom?" Ask Dion.

Anna's mother is now sitting next to her son, "like you have to take Rissa away" she said.

Dion was surprised, "moving? Rissa's here to take care of me."

Anna's mother exhaled, she was already comfortable with Rissa. However, he also wanted to bring Dion closer to Rissa.

"Mother is okay, there is your Aunt who is also from Bekasi to take care of Mom. Your aunt needs a job to help her husband, so I think you can ease their burden too. Instead of having to find someone else, Rissa is now your wife. He has an obligation to be more concerned about you" Anna's mother said.

Dion thought for a moment, he was also confused about having to find a place to stay for Rissa where.

"Mom, but Dion doesn't know where to find a place to live."

"If Rissa and Melati are home apart, how can I divide my time?" Ask Dion.

Anna's mother thought for a moment, "yes, one house is made."

Dion was surprised, his mother could not take it for granted.

"One house? That's my name I killed myself!" Dion.

Dion exhaled violently, he was completely made dizzy with the situation.

"I can stay at Mas's house as a maid," interrupted Rissa who walked over to Dion and Anna's mother.

"Helper?"

Dion and Anna's mother were shocked.

"Yes, Rissa's okay, Mom. At least if one house Rissa can still do Rissa's duty as a wife, even if it has to be a maid."

Anna and Dion's mother fell silent, they were both digesting Rissa's words.

"Mom agrees, on one condition."

"What's that?" Ask Dion.

"Bi Ai should know about Rissa's status, and neither you nor Melati should treat Rissa as a maid. You have to be nice to Rissa" Anna's mother said.

"How do you do it, Mom? Melati yangya is Rissa's maid," asked Dion.

"Yes, you find a reason" said Anna's mother.

Dion gave up, and he gave up what his mother wanted.

On the other hand, he also felt bad about making Rissa a maid in his house. But what power, circumstances forced them to do this.

***

Today Dion is preparing to pick up Melati, he also misses his wife.

Dion was tidying up her clothes, while Rissa was preparing breakfast for her husband.

Dion went down the stairs, saying goodbye to Mom, and Rissa.

"Mom, I'll go home first, Dad."

"Yes, Yon. Be careful on the road. And don't forget about our plan" Anna's mother said.

What Anna's mother meant was definitely about Rissa's move, she was still waiting for Dion's approval.

"Good, Mom. Dion will think" replied Dion.

"Mom, Mas, have breakfast first."

"I have breakfast on the street" replied Dion and immediately kissed the back of his mother's hand.

Rissa, who saw Dion walking out of the house, immediately ran towards the kitchen.

Dion is now heating his car engine, he also took the time to tell his wife.

Dion got into the car and pulled him out of the yard.

"Wait," asked Rissa as she shouted to stop Dion's car from driving.

"What else is it?" Ask Dion.

"Here," Rissa offered Dion a lunchbox.

"You think I'm a kid given everything? I can buy it on the street" replied Dion.

"But the hawker outside isn't necessarily healthy, Mas."

Dion was annoyed, and immediately took the stockbox violently.

"I'm leaving first" he said as he gasped the car.

Rissa looked at her husband's car that was speeding, at least she was grateful that Dion would take the supplies that had been prepared.

"Be careful" said Rissa softly.

Although she also dislikes Dion's attitude, Rissa must also do her duty as a wife.

Rissa believes, patience will surely bear sweet fruit someday.

"Hah, like this well so the wife who is not considered. Just accept it, Sa. You make the decision" he told himself.

Rissa went back inside the house, continuing her activities as a housewife.

"Sa, are you okay?" Ask Anna's mother.

Rissa sat down, aligning her body with the master who had now become her mother-in-law.

"Rissa's good, Mom. Does Rissa look unhealthy?" Rissa asked, trying to divert the conversation of the Mother-in-law.

Anna's mother looked into her daughter-in-law's eyes, and she understood Rissa's current feelings.

"Patience, Sa. I'm sure one day Dion will be able to accept you" said Anna's mother, encouraging her daughter-in-law.

Rissa nodded, she tried to accept her mother-in-law's words.

"Even if one day Mas Dion can accept me, I'm not sure with Mbak Melati. Which wife wants to share a husband with another woman" Rissa's heart told the truth.

Rissa invites her mother-in-law to watch television, spending her days caring for and serving her mother-in-law. It's the only medicine to make her heart more legowo, at least there's still Mother Anna who always supports her.
