Wife Interlude

Chapters 10. Dinner

Rina and Hilman out of the super market by pushing a trolley of groceries that have been paid, both like a married couple who are doing monthly shopping activities.

"You wait here, I take the car first" Hilman said as he put the trolley in front of Rina.

Rina only nodded in response, she then took the water that she had bought from the beginning. The young pregnant woman was seen squatting next to the trolley as she began chugging water from inside the blue bottle.

"Uh, my stomach has asked again for fill," muttered Rina while rubbing her stomach that felt sore, then stood up again.

He could see Hilman's white car was already closing in on him and finally stopped right in front of him. Rina took her grocery bag, while waiting for Hilman to get out of the car.

"Here, let me go in" said Hilman took a bag of groceries owned by Rina.

"I can do it myself," refused Rina, although in the end she also could not hold the grocery bag that had already changed hands.

Rina then took Hilman's grocery bag which contained only a few items, then followed Hilman to the back door of the car.

Hilman put Rina's grocery bag in the back seat, she was about to turn around when she accidentally hit the body of Rina who was behind her. Even though Rina was staggered until she almost fell. However, the woman turned out to have a fairly high balance, so that she could control her body and stand upright again.

"Sorry, I didn't see you. You're okay, right?" asked Hilman who almost hugged Rina.

"It's okay, it was me who was standing too close" replied Rina while sliding two steps away from Hilman.

The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward, as a result of the incident that happened unintentionally.

"Oh yes, this is her shopping bag," continued Rina again while giving a bag of groceries in her hand.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Thank you, Rin," said Hilman while taking a bag of groceries from Rina's hand.

"You go in first, I want to put this back first" Hilman continued.

Lina nodded, she then walked towards the passenger door and got into the car first. While Hilman shook his head slowly, trying to eliminate the different flavors in his head.

Oh my God, what am I thinking. Remember Hilman she is your best friend's wife..You are just sorry for her, there is nothing else, inner Hilman tries to eliminate the sudden taste in his mind, he said, he also got into the steering chair following Rina who had gotten into the car first.

"We go home, or buy something first?" ask Hilman while starting to drive the car out of the super market area.

"Eum, actually I'm going to buy you dinner first. Can just drop me at the place to eat," said Rina slowly and eyes lowered.

Lina Actually felt embarrassed to say that, she had already troubled Hilman too much which she was actually under no obligation to him whatsoever. However, his stomach, which could not hold the pain, made him choose to suppress his shame on the man beside him.

"You hungry? Geez, I'm sorry, I don't know," Hilman replied as he looked at Rina at a glance, then refocused on the street in front of her.

"Yes. Earlier this morning the vegetable maker did not sell, so at home there is no food." Rina grimaced shyly said all that, she would probably look so lazy and careless, that she could not take care of herself.

Hearing that Hilman reflex immediately stepped on the brake pedal, until the car suddenly stopped just like that.

"Astagfirefull!" Rina reflexes idyllic while holding the dashboard of the car in front of her, to hold her body.

"So you haven't eaten since this morning? Why don't you call me, Rin?" Hilman looked panicked, he looked at Rina's face full, until her sitting position was tilted, without caring about Rina who was shocked by her actions.

Rina stroked the chest while taking a slow breath to relieve her shock.

"No, this morning I had breakfast, this time also before going outside I had time to eat instant noodles. But, now I feel hungry again, hehe." Lina replied while giggling amusedly, laughing at herself, to hide the pain in her heart.

Can he still laugh under these circumstances? Even now her husband is on his honeymoon with another wife, abandoning her who is pregnant young here. It's a pity that you, Rin, the inner Hilman, look at Rina pity.

"I haven't eaten either, how about we eat together. What do you want to eat now?" ask Hilman with a smile.

"But, I–" Rina looked doubtful.

"What do you say I want to eat, I'll definitely get you." Hilman cut off Rina's words.

"I'm going to eat chicken pecel on the side of the road, what can I do?" rina replied doubtfully.

"Oh that, of course you can dong. Incidentally, I know a good chicken pecel place around here," Hilman said as he prepared to drive his car again.

"Well, really? I don't think a guy like Bang Hilman would want to eat on the side of the road." Rani asked sumringah.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those people who loves roadside food. It's cheap and the food is delicious too, which I can refuse" replied Hilman in a proud style.

"We'll see later, does Bang Hilman really like to eat on the side of the road, or just want to make me happy," said Rina with a smile.

"OK, we prove it later," replied Hilman excitedly, as if being challenged by his friend.

Moments later, Hilman's car stopped not far from the town square, where there was an emperan chicken pecel food stall on the side of the road.

"Right, Bang Hilman bring me here?" rina asked as if she could not believe that Hilman knew such a place.

Hilman seemed to smile at him then out, followed by Rina, both of whom seemed to be standing parallel to the roadside chicken shop.

"Let's go in, he said he was hungry," Hilman asked as he looked at the young pregnant woman's face.

"Heem," nodded to Rina, then the two seemed to walk into the shop in tandem.

"What message do you want?" hilman asked after he invited Lina to sit in one of the empty seats.

"Chicken on the thigh" replied Rina.

"Tempe, you know, you want to?"

Rina shook her head in response.

"What drink?" ask Hilman again.

"Jeruk warm. Don't eat too much." Rina answered back.

"OK, I order first," said Hilman then walked over to the seller to order.

From where he stood Hilman silently looked back at Rina who was seen sitting while watching her surroundings, seen a cat approaching the woman, to distract her.

Lina looked smiling, then gently stroked the cat's fur using the back of her hand. The activity made Lina look like a gentle and affectionate woman.

If about the appearance of Rina did lose everything from Tari. But, if by nature, it seems like Rina is superior. Again Hilman unconsciously praised Rina.
