Wife Interlude

Chapter 23 Doctor Arya

Hari continues to change Lina to live her life as well as possible, trying to accept the fate of being a wife that was never considered by her husband.

As before, Anjas would only come and go as he pleased, he would meet Rina while Dari was on duty, and again disappear without any news if Tari was home.

Their household is like two people who are having an affair behind a legitimate wife.

As it is now, Anjas who is accompanying Rina monthly shopping at one of the shopping centers, suddenly surprised by a phone call from Hilman who tells her that Dance is already in the office and is looking for her.

The man panicked, Anjas immediately rushed away and left Rina there, with a pile of groceries on the trolley.

Rina simply exhaled violently, seeing her husband pass by, leaving her in the checkout queue.

Not just once this happened, suddenly Tari came home without news and made Anjas leave him in a quite difficult situation.

If some time ago Rina would be sad and wail if she saw Anjas leave her, now Rina is strong enough not to show sadness on her face, even though her heart still hurts.

After paying, Rina walked outside by pushing a trolley containing all her groceries, while busy booking a taxi online so she wouldn't wait too long in the lobby.

Until suddenly the trolley that he pushed hit someone, because of the unfocused Rina.

"Ahk, sorry - sorry, I was not accidentally," said Rina as she approached someone who she hit.

"Sorry, sir, is anyone hurt?" asked Rina with a worried look.

The looking down man turned his eyes to Lina, he seemed to notice Lina for a moment before finally shaking his head faintly.

"I'm fine, next time pay attention to the road, it's dangerous if you get hurt" replied the man who may have noticed that Rina was pregnant.

"Yes, I was caught off guard. Once again forgive me," said Rina who was immediately embraced by the man.

After that, Rina immediately left because the online taxi she ordered was waiting in the lobby. The meeting just passed, with no memory left in it.

Until, a few days later Rina had to check into the hospital to complete her pregnancy examination.

Unintentionally, Rina meets the man again, who turns out to be one of the doctors who works there. This second meeting was enough to make Rina comfortable, with the man's friendly attitude.

Arya, that was her name, one of the pediatricians in the hospital, her friendly and generous attitude made Rina happy to talk to her, plus their similar fondness for children, it was as if they never ran out of words to talk.

"It looks like I have to go home now, thanks for accompanying me to chat," said Rina after the day began to turn up.

This is the third meeting since the shopping mall. By chance, they were in the same cafe.

"Let me drive, it seems like it will soon rain" said Arya, looking up at the sky that was covered with gray clouds.

"No, I'll order a taxi online, '" said Rina, taking her phone in her bag.

"Don't refuse, as a doctor I'm just doing my job to look after one of the patients in our hospital" Arya said with a sweet smile.

Lina laughed, she clearly knew that she was not Arya's patient and opened the man's duty to take care of her as well.

"Heem, alright, if it doesn't trouble you, Master Doctor," replied Rina with the rest of the oddity accompanying her.

"Of course not, Madam, I'm really happy to take you, instead" said Arya while posting himself like a king in a fairy tale country who was welcoming his queen..

Rina laughed again, for some reason in a short time she was so familiar with the man who was said to have done an internship at her village health center.

The two laughed while walking towards Arya's car, the man opened the door for Lina who was welcomed by the pregnant woman.

Yes, who else if not Anjas, he who just came along with Tari, felt something different when he saw Rina laughing with other men and unfortunately, he was, that man was someone he knew very well a few years ago.

"They seem like a very happy couple huh, Mas," said Tari who also noticed Rina and Arya.

Anjas did not reply, he just continued to look full of anger at Rina and Arya, until finally their car drove and passed them just like that. It seemed that once inside there Rina was still laughing together with Arya.

You cheap lady! This is how you do behind my back, huh? Just watch out later on you, Rin.

Anjas cursed Rina in the heart. Somehow it felt hot, like it was burning in the chest, looking at the scene that should make him happy.

Yes, he should be happy because he has seen the behavior of Rina which can be a reason for him to say the word talak, and increasingly reassuring his heart if the child contained by Rina could not be his child.

However, in fact it was all different, now Anjas even felt angry, he did not accept Rina close to other men, besides himself and Hilman, who incidentally was his trusted friend.

.

Lina was just getting ready for bed, when suddenly the doorbell rang, Rina woke up with a soft sigh on her lips, she seemed to already know who often came in the middle of the night like this.

Walk towards the front door while turning on the lights, then opening the door. Sure enough, there was already seen Anjas standing with a sharp gaze that immediately highlighted him.

Rina frowned, seeing Anjas' different attitude, after two weeks the man disappeared again, she said due to being on a pregnancy program with Tari, after getting permission from the airline where she worked.

"Mas," said Rina later. Kiss the back of Anjas' hand.

Anjas did not reply, he just walked inside without speaking anything to Rina, then sat down in the living room.

Rina is like returning to when Anjas came at midnight because she spent the money on the card Anjas gave her, some time ago.

What's up now? inner Rina exhaled softly, preparing to receive Anjas anger.

"Sit down!"

Ah, again it happened the same as before, even the low tone of voice shrouded in the cold still felt the same.

Rina sat beside Anjas, she positioned herself the same as before. Shut up, that's all Rina does now. Waiting for what trouble her husband now brings.

"Where were you this afternoon?" hiss Anjas, with a sharp gaze that felt so sinister to Rina.

"I only went to the cafe after finishing the cooking course," Lina replied truthfully.

Since a month ago, Rina has been active in cooking courses and other kitchen skills courses, such as the art of carving fruits and vegetables, as a complement.

Anjas also knew all his activities, because before deciding to undergo the activities, Rina did ask permission first to her husband.

"Who?" ask Anjas again.

"Self," replied Rina, not lying.

Rina did go alone, and met Arya at the cafe after she had been there for a long time.

"Don't lie to you, Rin!" Anjas raised his voice, he turned to look at Rina with a face full of anger.
