Wife Interlude

Chapters 12. Hilman's guilt

In the morning, Rina woke up with extreme nausea, she rushed to the bathroom to remove all her stomach contents.

Rina kept vomiting in the bathroom until her body felt very tired. He then washed his face in the sink with a gasping breath, after feeling his nausea had subsided.

The woman smiled sarcastically as she looked at her appearance in the mirror, a slightly pale face, messy hair, and an ordinary body shape.

"I look so pathetic. It's only fitting that Mas Anjas would prefer that woman over me" he said with a sarcastic smile.

The shadow of Anjas' happy smile and loving gaze from his portrait of togetherness with Tari, made Rina's heart even more sliced.

"She is beautiful, I don't even have a fingernail from her, it's appropriate that now Mas Anjas would rather be with her than me." Back Rina muttered with tears that had already cut into the river.

However, his memory now returns to the child he is carrying, an encouragement to fight for his rights as a wife and the rights for his child later.

"Well, from now on we have to be strong, baby. Help Mama to live alone, so that your father can take responsibility for what he did to us. If indeed he does not consider Mama as his wife, he should consider you as his child," murmured Rina, while removing the tear drops on her cheek. His hands gently caressed his lower abdomen.

"Passion for both of us!" said Rina again, the young pregnant woman is now moving from the sink.

"You can't be born without a father, son. Mama will stay for you" said Rina to round her resolve.

.

The sound of knocking on the door of the house, distracts Rina from her activities that are preparing breakfast with a house shirt.

Rian stopped his activities, he walked towards the front, to see who the guests who came this early in the morning.

"Loh, Bang Hilman, what's going on this early in the morning?" asked Lina as soon as she opened the door.

Rina was quite surprised by Hilman's unusual arrival.

"Are you okay?" hilman asked while looking at Rina's face.

Rina shook her head with a deep frown on her forehead, she felt confused by Hilman's presence.

"Sit down, Bang, let me get you a drink first" said Rina again.

Hilman nodded, the man seemed to rub his nape as if something was stuck and needed to be taken to Rina.

"What's up, Bang?" rina asked as soon as she returned with a cup of coffee for Hilman.

Honestly, actually his heart still hurts because of the lies Hilman made to cover the honeymoon of Anjas and Tari. However, Rina tried to be calm, because she could not force anjas to side with her.

"I know, Bang Hilman, must have had something to come here for, right?" said Rina, looking at Hilman who was sipping his coffee.

"Neck!" Hilman who heard Rina's words, immediately choked due to surprise.

Though the words spoken by Rina is a common speech for people who come to guests. But why does it feel so surprising for Hilman.

"Slow down," said Rina turned to the man beside her.

Hilman continued to cough for a while, before finally stopping with a reddened face due to shortness of breath.

"A–what do you mean, Rin? I just want to see your condition, before leaving for the office," Hilman replied not lying.

"Why me? Didn't we just meet last night?" asked Rina with a flat facial expression.

"I–it, I–" Hilman seemed confused to answer what.

"That's because, Bang Hilman, I'm afraid I saw Mas Anjas and Tari's social media accounts, right?" asked Rina, which made Hilman instantly widen his eyes.

"Calm down, I won't blame you. I know myself enough .. because here I am the guilty one, for defending Mas Anjas who was willing to be honest about his feelings who did not love me." Rina smiled wryly, given her status and the fate of her relationship with Anjas.

"So you already know that?" tanya Hilman who was immediately embraced by Rina.

"I'm just curious, because it's been a few days that Mas Anjas has no news. Whereas, Bang Hilman, keep covering it up." Lina smiled faintly, while slightly lowering her head, hiding her already warmed eyes.

"So I decided to find my own year," continued Rina again softly.

Lina raised her face with a thin smile that even looked so painful in Hilman's eyes.

"I'm okay, instead of a honeymoon is already possible for a married couple? Then why am I thinking about that? Heuh!"

Hilman fell silent, he could only duck without being able to answer Rina's words again. In his heart he cursed Anjas who had put him in this difficult situation.

That morning the guilt in Hilman's heart on Rina began to grow, Hilman felt herself covering up something wrong. She forgets that Rina is also the wife of Anjas, who has the right to know anything about her husband.

.

Days passed, at the airport the domestic arrival of a couple seemed to walk side by side with a very harmonious and friendly of course.

Hilman stood next to his car, he faithfully waited for the arrival of his two friends who had just returned home on their honeymoon, after two weeks of feeling on the island of Bali and Lombok.

"Welcome again" said Hilman welcomed the arrival of Anjas and Tari.

"Hi, Hilman, we'll finally meet again." Dari waved her hand, greeting Hilman, while Anjas just smiled while poking his head and Hilman.

"Why did you pick us up yourself, man? Can't you get the driver to pick us up?" tanya Tari, looked suspiciously at the two men who were now with her.

"I have something to talk to Anjas about and it's urgent" Hilman replied as he began to focus on driving.

"Ish, you're this, man. Anjas just got there you've given it a job," snorted Tari, not liking.

"You guys went for a vacation and gave me a myriad of jobs, so don't expect after this to linger, yeah," Hilman smiled meaningfully at Anjas sitting next to him.

Honestly, Hilman picked up Anjas and Tari at the airport not because of work problems. If it was just that matter, he himself could still handle it well.

However, if it was Rina's problem, Hilman was already unable to continue feeling guilty towards that woman. As long as she accompanied him, not once did Hilman hear Rina complain, whereas Hilman could clearly see the sadness within the look in the woman's eyes.

Hilman was made more worried, when he saw the body of Rina who looked thinner compared to before, and her face that always looked pale. However, he did not want to see a doctor.

"That's okay, baby, I'm only for a little while, at least" Anjas said as if he knew what Hilman meant.

"Heem, okay." Dari was forced to allow her husband to directly work together with Hilman

After driving Tari to her parents' house, Anjas and Hilman got back in the car and drove down the city streets.

"What the hell is it, man? Why do you insist on speaking, when you know that I'm tired" Anjas said.

"You still dare to ask why, Jas, after everything you did to me, huh?!" hilman asked, in a resentful tone. He looked over with a deep frown at his best friend.

"You suddenly nitipin a young pregnant woman is like me, while you're just as cool on a honeymoon as Dance! Who do you think is more tired, huh?" hilman continued again, removing all the old pent-up grunts.

"Yes, sory-sory. It's out of plan, man. Where do I know, if Rina will follow here on my wedding day and Tari ... when I have forbidden her to come," Anjas replied with a soft voice in his last sentence.

"Whatever it is, I don't care about your household problems, the important thing is that now you take care of Rina, I don't want to be in a state of complete error anymore!" Hilman was really letting out his emotions at the moment.

Hilman seemed to snort, as he looked at Anjas who was sighing violently repeatedly.

"I feel sorry for Rina too, Jas. She's a nice, innocent woman, she doesn't deserve this kind of treatment, Jas." Hilman again spoke in a tone that sounded slower.

"I'm confused, Man. She doesn't want me to take her to the village or I divorce–"

"You're crazy, Jas! Which woman wants to be divorced when she is pregnant!" hilman's jolt stared at Anjas's annoyance.

"But, rather than us being tormented like this, instead of giving up? I can't possibly take the time for her when there's Dance, and I don't love her either. She's just a village girl who's a lot different to Dance, you can see that too right?" Anjas spoke at length, trying to explain how he felt.

"You're saying she's not attractive, not like Dance? But, you pregnant him? You hypocrite!" hardik Hilman's.

"Who guarantees that she's pregnant with my son?"
