Wife Interlude

Chapters 2. Eyes see, hearts hurt

Rina stood in front of the building where Anjas' wedding party was held, with her clothes changed, she had also prepared herself as best she could, so as not to treat herself. His gaze circulated to see the back and forth of people who came and went alternately. The longest pre-wedding photo at the entrance had convinced her it was the wedding of her own husband.

"So this is the reason you won't take me to meet your family and formalize our marriage, Mas?" muttered Rina with a bitter smile decorating her face.

He looked back at the invitation in his hand, then started to step inside, he even filled the guest list first, even though his heart hurt so much when he scratched the tip of the pen on the paper.

Taking a deep breath, then exhaling slowly, Rina slightly raised her head to hold back the water that was almost out of her eyes.

Going deeper, Rina circulated her gaze, seeing how luxurious the marriage was. The original floral decorations that he had never even seen before, with various luxurious chandeliers themed in blue and white.

Something he couldn't even dream of, now felt even further away. For him, let alone hold a party like this, inviting to inaugurate the wedding in KUA alone is always rejected by Anjas.

No one knew him, though almost the entire building was crowded with people attending the wedding.

Rina's gaze rolled back, until her eyes stopped at something that caught her attention, someone who took her infiltrated this marriage.

From there he could see clearly two kings and queens today who were smiling happily on the lap. Back Lina took a deep breath, trying to find a gap in the chest that felt increasingly tight.

Rina slowly walked back and then stopped, she stood in front of the pelaminan, right behind the staff of photographers, who were capturing the happy moment of her own meeting along with other women.

Until accidentally from above Anjas saw Rina, she widened her eyes with a pounding heart. For a while the views of the two intertwined deeply, with a sense of pain in Rina's heart.

The rina? Why did he get here? inner Anjas with a wary look, afraid that Rina might mess up her wedding.

"What's up, baby?" tanya Tari – woman who is now standing beside her.

"Huh?" Anjas is jolted by Dance's question, he then turns to the woman, removing the eye link with Rina.

"E–enggak, just like old cement," replied Anjas quibbled on his new wife.

"Ooh ...." Dance just be indifferent and go back to following the photographer's direction to be stylish in front of the camera.

"Honey, I want to go to the toilet first huh," Anjas said suddenly, as the tip of his eyes still saw Rina standing there.

The dance just nodded, in response as some of her friends went up to the sewer.

Anjas passes to the back of the leash to find his best friend who helps with his wedding.

Rina who saw Anjas leave was now moving, she was looking for the whereabouts of Anjas who disappeared from the guarantee. Rina had no intention of messing up her husband's marriage, she just wanted to meet with Anjas and ask for an explanation of all this.

However, the atmosphere of the event was crowded by guests, making it difficult for Rina to walk and catch up with Anjas.

"Where is he?" muttered Rina while circulating her gaze, looking for the whereabouts of Anjas.

"Rina, huh?" A man patted her on the shoulder.

Rina turned her gaze, at the male figure who was now standing right beside her.

"Yes. Who are you?" asked Rina while shifting her position to be right in front of the man. His forehead seemed to wrinkle quite deeply, while paying attention to the appearance of the man he had just seen.

"I'm Hilman, Anjas' best friend. He told me to take you to the hotel, he said he would see you when the show was over" explained the man who claimed to be Anjas' best friend.

"Why should I follow you? We don't even know each other" asked Rina to reject Hilman's invitation indirectly.

Hilman looked smiling. "We are acquaintances first," said Hilman, glancing at his hand that had not been welcomed by Rina.

Rina seemed hesitant, although she finally decided to shake Hilman's hand, without mentioning his name.

Hilman raised next to his eyebrows, waiting for Rina to mention his name.

"Don't you know my name?" rina replied indifferently, while turning her eyes away.

It felt like he could not afford to talk much to strangers, his heart felt very claustrophobic and it all made it difficult for him just to make a sound.

Hilman chuckled at Rina's question, she felt funny at the woman's reaction.

"Come, you better come with me, you must be tired right?" said Hilman who immediately took Rina's hand.

Rina finally followed Hilman's steps without a fight, until finally both of them stood next to Hilman's car.

"Wait, I want to grab my bag first," said Rina about to get down from the car.

"Let me take it, you just sit inside," Hilman held Rina, then opened the car door for Rina.

Rina looked at Hilman for a while, as if she was reassuring herself, then nodded and got into the car.

Hilman closed the car door, then walked towards the guard post to pick up the bag that Rina had left there.

As soon as the car door was covered in tears that had been foaming Rina was able to finally go outside as well, Rina closed her eyes to dampen the tears that had been stretched out, breaking, after he could no longer endure the tightness inside his chest.

It turned out that it was also good that Hilman left him alone, at least for a moment he could cry, in order to reduce the tightness that he had been quiet since.

"Thank you, sir," Hilman said as soon as she received Rina's backpack, she returned to the parked car.

However, just as she was about to enter, she saw that Rina was crying sobbing in it. Hilman also paused his intention to enter, he turned around and waited with his back to the steering door.

"Areally who is this woman? Why does Anjas look so careful about it? Why does she have to cry in my car like this?" muttered Hilman who still did not understand what happened between Rina and Anjas.

Hilman waited long enough for her to see that Rina was calmer. Hilman then entered, he could see that Rina was trying to muffle her cries, until all that sounded was a soft sigh.

"Sorry," said Rina as soon as the corner of her eye saw Hilman get into the car and sit in the steering wheel. She then put the old tissue wiping her tears in the bag.

"It's okay, just relax" Hilman replied as he closed the door and put on his seat belt.

"We're leaving now?" ask Hilman again.

Lina nodded in response, while trying to fit a seatbelt for her. However, somehow the small activity felt very difficult to do by him.

Hilman who saw it all, finally helped Lina to pair her seatbelt. Hilman's hand was accidentally placed on top of Rina's, until for a while the two seemed to be cravings.

However, the conscious Rina first quickly removed her hand from the seatbelt.

"Sorry," Hilman said, re-enforcing his body in an awkward gesture.

Rina did not reply, she just turned her eyes to the side, until she finally came to see Anjas' wedding party.

"We're leaving now" said Hilman who directly drove his car out of the parking area.

Seeing Lina's sad gaze and painful cries, Hilman could guess that Rina must be the woman who likes Anjas. Therefore she immediately ran her car when she saw that Rina had started seeing Anjas' wedding again.

It is not possible if this woman is Anjas' girlfriend, all this time instead Anjas loves Dance very much? inner Hilman stole a look at Rina.

Rina leaned her body against the back of the chair with a distant look staring out the car window. The sound of a cell phone inside the sling bag she was wearing also distracted Rina.

Rina looked at the name on her phone screen, it was her number. Rina exhaled a rough breath without intending to receive the call.

"Cock not lifted?" hilman asked, looking at Rina.

Rina did not reply, she just stared at the screen of her dead phone, although not long after it rang again, and it continued for a while.

"Jawab only, maybe it is important," said Hilman again, feeling strange with the attitude of Rina.

Rina again exhaled a rough breath then shook her head faintly.

"For the time being I won't be able to pretend to be okay with them, so I better not answer them" replied Rina lirih.

Hilman could only exhale slowly, he felt completely wrong at this moment. Hilman pityes on Rina who seems devastated by Anjas' marriage. But he is also confused how to comfort the woman beside him, because he himself does not know what the problem is between Anjas and Rina.

Wanting to ask, however, Hilman also felt inappropriate if she asked Rina. What a very confusing situation.

You'd even rather let me be with this stranger, without even seeing me, Mas?
