Wife Interlude

Chapter 16 Patience does not have to suffer

After that incident, this morning Rina was determined to be more independent again. It started with his meeting with Hilman that he did during the day.

"Huh! Honey, please help Mama to be strong in the face of all this." Lina muttered softly while stroking the bottom of her stomach.

Currently Rina was sitting on one of the benches of a restaurant, she had promised to meet with Hilman there.

Moments later, Hilman seemed to walk towards him, a man who always looks fashionable, the style of the city youth also came with his smile that looked floundering.

"What's wrong, tumben met outside?" hilman asked after she gave her greetings then sat down in front of Rina.

Rina shook her head then drank the orange juice she ordered first.

"I want to know all about Mas Anjas and Tari," said Rina who immediately made Hilman widen his eyes.

"What's? How do you mean?" hilman asked to confirm what he had just heard.

"I want to know all about Mas Anjas and Tari." Lina seemed to repeat her words with great confidence.

Hilman swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. What happened to the two of them last night? Why is Rina changing this way?

Hilman looked closely at Rina, the woman beside him, now looking different from usual.

She's wearing make up now? His clothes also look no longer like the village people, although still simple.

Yes, since Anjas' departure, Rian has barely even slept, he's been busy looking at various articles, videos on how to take care of himself, and makeup. All that he did so as not to look pitiful in front of Anjas or Hilman.

My life has been quite miserable, so now no one can look at me pitifully anymore! that was the determination that was now in Rina's heart.

"Where, Bang Hilman want to help me or not?" asked Rina impatiently, because since then Hilman was silent.

"Well! Eum, but, you're not gonna fuck around, are you?" tanya Hiilman looked at Rina suspiciously.

Lina laughed, she felt funny at Hilman's accusation to her. "What am I going to do, Bang?"

"I just want to know their relationship and I want to know what Mas Anjas really does?" rina hesitated.

"Huh? So all this time you didn't even know your husband's job?" ask Hilman in shock.

Rina nodded. "I don't even know what this card is, so I've been shopping carefully all along. Fear of not being enough, hehe," answered Rina honestly back a little joke.

Himan breathed a coarse breath, but the contents of the card were enough for Rina's life, Anjas filled it up very much before handing it to her.

However, it is not wrong if Rina does not know Anjas and his family, because they are indeed closed to personal problems, even though in this city their family is quite famous, because their family is quite famous, because of the achievements obtained by the father who is a member of the DPRD.

Hilam paused for a moment, weighing whether if saying everything about Anjas to Rina would not have a bad impact on him.

"Anjas and I worked together to build a company in the field of architecture with the largest capital from the Dance family. While Tari works as a flight attendant, we've been friends since college, until finally they're in a relationship."

Rina nodded her head, at least Lina already knew that Tari and Anjas had indeed been in contact since they went to college, from the very beginning.

"So right, I'm a third party in their relationship?" Rina said casually, although she had to try hard to cover up her heart wound when saying that sentence.

Hilman nodded doubtfully, he admitted that. Although Rina married first with Anjas. However, Anjas and Tari's relationship existed long before Rina was present in Anjas' life.

Rina inhaled a deep breath then exhaled it slowly with a very visible forced smile.

"Alright, that means I have to be self-conscious now, right?" he asked Hilman, who seemed to choose silence.

"At least I should stay behind and not ask for more, resign to the status of secret wives, and not disturb their households."

Hilman still remained silent, he seemed to be watching every expression made by Rina.

There was a sense of compassion in his heart, seeing Lina who looked strong despite the gaping wounds in the look of his eyes.

This problem is so complicated, that Hilman is even confused to just chimed in the words of Rina who was like confiding in him.

"Well, the silence of Bang Hilman I consider as justification for all my words. But I'm still his wife, aren't I, Bang? Do I deserve the same rights from him? I deserve to be happy too, don't you, Bang?"

Hilman was still silent, indeed now he was struck by worry and also afraid to open his voice.

Rina took another breath and then exhaled, feeling so tight in the chest.

"You deserve to be happy, Rin. Just ignore what's going on in the back, and keep looking straight ahead, make your goal as a spirit in the day."

Lina smiled, she looked at Hilman then went back to drinking her juice. The conversation continued for quite a while.

"Thank you, Bang. I'm really confused who to talk to here. Now I feel more relieved. I'm sorry, because I'm interrupting time, brother." Lina smiled then prepared to move on.

"Where are you going? You haven't even eaten yet" asked Hilman.

"I'm finished, and it looks like I need to get home soon. Thanks again." Lina smiled, then just got up and left with a single tear drop that escaped, just as she turned back to Hilman.

If I have to sacrifice for their happiness, then I will also find my own happiness, even if it is without you by my side, Mas.

Rina held the card Anjas gave her, if she could not appear with Anjas in front, then Rina would try to get Anjas through the back lane.

.

The day keeps changing, now that Rina is no longer careful in shopping using the card given by Anjas, she wants to pamper herself while attracting the attention of the man.

Is not Anjas is a company owner and also the only child of one of the DPRD members who certainly will not be short of money.

Shopping for clothes, taking care of yourself in between being a secret wife and for the sake of entertaining himself, became his daily life.

Until the sound of knocking on the door in the middle of the night suddenly sounded. Rina blinked her eyes, she saw the wall clock that showed at one o'clock in the night.

"Who's having a midnight guest like this?" muttered Rina, while starting to get out of bed.

Without turning on the lamp, Rina stepped vigilantly to the main door, she looked first from the window to ascertain who came, until her eyes widened when she found Anjas standing in front of her house.

Quickly Rina opened the door with her bright smile, after almost a month of this Anjas never came to her house.

Ah, let alone come, not even contacting him. Rina once went to Anjas' office. However, he was not even allowed to enter until he finally gave up.

"Mas, are you coming?" Rina spoke cheerfully while about to take Anjas' hand.

However, Anjas ignored him, he went straight into the house, and walked ahead of Rina.

Rina ignored Anjas cold attitude, she locked the door back and followed behind, until Anjas finally sat in the living room.

"Sit down!" he looked at the chair next to him. His tone was so deep, as if he was harboring emotions.

Rina frowned, although the lighting there only relied on decorative lights, she could feel Anjas' sharp gaze on her.

What's the matter? inner Rina.

Lina then sat down beside Anjas with a strange feeling and a heart of wonder.

"What have you been doing all this time, huh? What's all the money you use?" ask Anjas with a higher tone of voice.

"To shop, and enjoy life," Lina replied casually, she raised the side of her thin lips.

Is this all about money? lina felt a pain in her heart.

"God! So this is why you want to remain my wife? For money?" asked Anjas with a dismissive voice.

Rina immediately turned her eyes to Anjas, her forehead creasing deeply, not accepting her husband's accusation.

"What do you mean, Mom?"

Suddenly her chest tightened, happiness over the arrival of Anjas now seemed to be lost again by the unfounded words from her husband.

"Here, don't dodge anymore. Now how much money do you need from me, so you want to leave me?" Anjas smiled obliquely, looking at Rina with a look of disdain.

"Am I wrong to use my husband's own money? Am I wrong to seek happiness, because in fact my husband prefers to be happy with other women? I'm human too, Mom! I still have feelings .. I need an outlet for all the wounds you put on my heart every day!"

Rina raised her voice, her emotions rose, she could not accept it until her own husband had insulted her.

"Do you want me to keep lamenting and imagining you making out with Tari, whereas to reply to a chat from me alone you never?! I'm pregnant, Mom! My son needs to be happy, and that can only be felt when I as his mother is happy too!"
