Two Rings

Request Letter

Dion bowed in lethargy, repeatedly rereading the request written by his second wife.

"Why does it feel like I'm reluctant to agree to any of this" Dion murmured.

Yes, by enduring the pain Rissa tried to complete all the requests that were addressed to her husband.

In the letter, Rissa wrote down a few things for Dion.

~ *Application Letter ~

I hereby ask my husband to agree on a few things.

Treat me like a wife.

This happened until I gave birth to a child, until the age of the child was 6 months.

My husband can ask me for his rights.

I will not demand anything from my husband

I wish my husband could be fair.

After I give birth and my son is 6 months old, I beg you to divorce me in the proper manner*.

That's all I'm asking for, I'm waiting for your approval.

The signature on the stamp I have provided.

Thank you, signed, your second wife. Rissa.

Dion squeezed out the petition letter, he was really confused as to what to do.

***

A few days had passed, but Rissa still had not received approval from her husband.

He waited patiently, nor did he urge Dion about his request.

"Bi, let me prepare the food," Rissa told Bi Ai.

Bi Ai nodded, and Rissa immediately prepared food for all the family members.

Without Rissa noticing, Dion had been standing behind her. Rissa, who did not know Dion's whereabouts, accidentally hit her husband's body when he was about to reverse his steps.

"Astagfirulloh" said Rissa who almost fell.

Dion swiftly grasped the body of his wife, as soon as their eyes clashed for a second conspiracy.

"Ma-sorry, Mom. I didn't mean it" said Rissa, standing back up and slightly away from her husband.

"It's okay" said Dion, looking at his wife.

"Where's Jack, Mas? The food is ready" asked Rissa.

"Delati is still in the bathroom," Dion replied briefly. Rissa nodded her head, the current atmosphere felt awkward. Rissa intends to go to the kitchen, avoiding her husband who feels cold to her.

Rissa was surprised when Dion held back his arm, he immediately brushed aside and turned towards Dion again.

"Mas, if Mbak Melati saw how?" The question came out of Rissa's mouth.

Dion still looks flat, "why did Melati see that?" Ask.

Rissa frowned, she felt strange with her husband's attitude.

"Why is Dion so relaxed about my words?" Rissa wondered.

Not expressing her curiosity, Rissa immediately passed into the kitchen leaving Dion still staring at her.

"I have my own way of responding to your request, Sa." Dion murmuring.

"Mas!"

Dion was surprised, Melati suddenly just patted him from behind.

Seeing her husband aghast, Melati could conclude that her husband was daydreaming.

"Why stand here?" Ask Melati.

Behind the kitchen door, Rissa heard the conversation between her husband and her honey.

"It turns out you look relaxed in front of me, in fact just like that you've been nervous in front of Mbak Melati, Mas."

Rissa came back out of the kitchen, bringing drinks for Dion and Melati.

"Breakfast first, Mas," Rissa pinta.

Melati nodded, and sat her body in the chair. He also invited Rissa and Bi Ai to have breakfast together.

When everyone was enjoying their food, suddenly Rissa's phone rang.

"Sorry, I'm gonna pick up the phone."

Dion and Melati allow it, and Rissa picks up her phone call right away.

"Hello assalamu'allaikum, who's sorry, dad?" Ask Rissa. He did not recognize the number that contacted him.

"Wa'allaikumsalam. It's me, Radit." Someone answered behind a cell phone.

"Radith? Is this Doctor Radit?" Ask Rissa to make sure.

"Yes, I'm Doctor Radit. But you call me Radit" Doctor Radit asked.

"Oh, yeah okay. Sorry, what did the doctor call me?" Ask Rissa. He is still awkward if he has to call Doctor Radit without the title he holds.

"Ah, I just want to know how you are doing. Emm, am I interrupting?" Ask Dr. Radit.

"Oh, so. I'm good, Doc. Emm, is there anything else you want to talk about, Doc? It just so happened that I was being spelled out for a meal with Mas Dion and Mbak Melati, it wouldn't be nice to interrupt their breakfast." Rissa.

"Oh, Melati is already at her house? Then I'll come visit, sorry if it bothers you, Sa."

"It's okay, Doc. Later I will tell Mbak Melati if the doctor wants to come here," said Rissa.

"Thank you, that's how it is. Assalamallaikum" said Dr. Radit. He ended his call to Rissa.

Rissa immediately put back her phone, and turned to look at Melati.

"Mom, said Dr. Radit he wanted to come visit Mbak." Rissa conveyed the intentions of Dr. Radit.

"really? Tumben he's coming to visit." Melati guessed Doctor Radit's true intentions.

"Don't-don't he just mode, Sa." Melati Adding.

"Mode? How do you mean, Ma'am?" Ask Rissa.

"Yes, mode. Pretending to say he wants to come visit me when he actually wants to see you," guessed Melati.

For some reason, Dion suddenly choked. Everyone turned to look at Dion, and Melati quickly helped her husband who was coughing.

"Be careful, Mommy." Melati patted her husband's back.

Dion let out a sigh, and from that moment on, he was really uncomfortable hearing his second wife who was receiving a phone call from another man.

"Rissa what the hell, why did she get to know Doctor Radit. And where does Doctor Radit know Rissa's number?"

Dion was really upset.

"Since when have you known Dr. Radit?" Dion asked with an indecipherable look on his face.

Melati glanced at her husband, for what reason did Dion ask Rissa's personal matter.

"Emm yesterday Doctor Radit came home, to see the condition of Mbak Melati. Because Madam Melati wasn't home, so Doctor Radit asked for my number. He said he could let me know if he'd come again." Rissa explained.

"Take it right, I said, he has a veiled intention with you, Sa." Melati re-assumed.

Dion grew irritated, and he quickly finished his meal.

"I'm done, I go to the room first, Dad." Dion. His heart was really hot at the moment, yet he could not vent his frustration at that very moment.

Rissa and Melati were also Bi Ai who had just been a spectator, staring at the back of Dion who left the dining table without finishing his meal first.

"Mas Dion why?" Ask Rissa in my heart.

"Well, I think someone's jealous." Bi Ai muttered in her mind.

Melati also feels strange with her husband's attitude, but she is more interested in Doctor Radit's intentions to Rissa. Melati even had time to bring Rissa closer to Doctor Radit, considering Doctor Radit is a good man. Melati has known Doctor Radit for a long time, and Melati feels Rissa with Doctor Radit has a match.
