Wife Interlude

Chapter.32 The woman behind the door

After Anjas' departure, Rina starts to get busy with her own life. Taking care of the fields owned by her parents is now the main activity of Rina, along with Heni and other workers.

Until after the forty-day event his parents, suddenly the brothers from the Father and Mother invited to gather, whether to talk about what.

Actually, seven days after the funeral, they were willing to invite Lina to meet. However, Lina refused him on the grounds that he was still in mourning.

Now they came back, and it turned out that it was just to talk about the inheritance problem of both of Rina's parents.

"What legacy is it?" rina asked as if she knew nothing, as they charged her share of the inheritance.

"All the assets belonging to Father and Mother have been on my behalf since a year ago, so all this time they only manage my land," continued Rina again who made everyone in the room widen her eyes.

Actually, Rina also never knew all that, she never thought that even Mother and Father had transferred all the securities on her behalf.

It seems like the two of them already knew that all this would happen, until both of his parents had anticipated it first.

Not long lasting all the relatives of the father and mother who had conspired to seize the treasures of both parents Rina, left without getting anything.

There is only a curse that comes out because of disappointment without cause. Lina smiled looking at the family relatives of Father and Mother who could not do anything.

.

Meanwhile in the city, Anjas appears to be busy at his desk. Yes, after he returned from the village of Rina, now Anjas seems to be a work enthusiast.

Anjas often spends time at the office until sometimes not coming home. I don't know what's on his mind right now, until now he seems to be punishing himself.

"Lunch first, Jas," said Hilman who had just entered Anjas' room with a paper bag in his hand.

Hilman then walked towards the guest table that was there, then started preparing the lunch menu of the two of them.

Anjas breathed a tired breath, he stood up and followed Hilman sitting on the sofa, looking at all the dishes prepared by his best friend.

The grilled chicken menu is complete with sambal and lalapan seems to have been presented so neatly on the table. However, it did not seem to make him tasteful at all. Anjas' eyes now turn to the dessert menu that appears packaged in a cup.

Yes, it was a fruit salad, a food that reminded him of Rina. Slowly his hand took the food which he then opened, although he had not yet opened it Hilman had stopped it.

"That's for eating at the end, Jas. You have to eat first, before you eat anything else. Remember you've got stomach acid," stop Hilman.

Because lately he saw the pattern of Anjas' life so messy, now even he believes that Anjas has not had breakfast at home, considering since yesterday Dance is no work task.

"I'm not hungry, Man," Anjas replied as he continued to open the cup with the fruit salad, then ate it.

Her memory at the time she had breakfast with Rina who only ate one small bowl of fruit salad swirled on the head, as if a movie.

His tongue tasted the sour taste mixed with sweetness and fresh fruit, there was pain in his heart, considering all his actions to Rina while still his wife.

It turns out that he just felt the loss and meaning of the presence of Rina in his life, when Rina was no longer his.

One month, her life seems to float, Anjas still can't believe that Rina is no longer his.

He even still often visited the house owned by Rina, in order to remember their togetherness which turned out to be very short. The time that had not even reached a year, was lessened by her always indifferent attitude towards Rina.

"Well?!" Anjas blinked, surprised by the loud voice of his best friend.

Hilman seemed to stop the activity of his lunch, he put again a plate containing rice, grilled chicken, vegetables, and sambal, it to the table. He then exhaled a coarse-sounding breath, like a snort in Anjas' ear.

"Here you go, Jas, don't think about it anymore. Isn't everything done? Now you just live a good life with Dance, and forget about Rina" Hilman said.

He also sees Anjas every day as if he does not have the spirit of life, only continues to daydream and then busy with his work. And, it all happened just because of a woman's problem

Anjas took a deep breath, then exhaled it, while again keeping the remaining half cup of fruit salad on the table.

"I don't know if this is a right or wrong decision, man? Why does it feel like I'm hard to forget him? I felt something was missing, after I left Rina in the village," Anjas complained, he himself was not sure of his feelings.

"Why else, Jas? Isn't this what you wanted all along? Rina left your life and you can finally live a quiet life with Dance?" hilman asked with a frown.

"Yes, that was what I wanted before. But, now I feel hard to take her-off"

"Why? Is it because of the child in the womb?" Hilman interrupted Anjas' words.

Anjas was silent with a stiffened body.

Is this really because I still have doubts about the status of the child? What if the child is my child? inner Anjas.

"It seems like my shot was right, you still have the child that Rina conceived?" Hilman chuckled in a mocking tone, he then leaned back as if he was enjoying the troubled look of his best friend.

Anjas looked at Hilman's face then clucked softly, he took the water and drank it.

"I'm just afraid that it turns out he's my son, Man. That means I've left my own real son." Anjas took out what since a few days ago continued to disturb his mind.

"Related is always at the end, Jas. So now you just accept the decision you made, and try to make Dance as happy as possible, so that you do not experience the same regrets again."

Hilman said in a relaxed tone, there seems to be no sympathy at all for the fate of his best friend.

Anjas nodded while exhaling a rough breath, then leaned his back.

"It's all easy for you to say, man. But, I experienced it," lamented Anjas softly, he placed his hand on the forehead that slightly looked up while closing his eyes.

Meanwhile, outside Anjas, a beautiful woman with a model body was standing while listening to the words of Anjas and Himan inside, her hand was even holding the doorknob slightly open, because he wanted to open the door. But all of that just stopped.

"Mba Dance, why haven't you come in yet?" the question of one of the employees made Dari reflex to release her hand and take a few steps back in surprise, until she accidentally nudged some items nearby.

While Anjas and Hilman who were still inside and dissolved in their conversation, also immediately stared at each other when the name of Dance sounded faint from behind the door. The two stood up and walked towards the door, to see what was happening outside the room.

Anjas eyes widened as he saw Dari who was standing restlessly in front of his room along with one of the employees. Hilman walked behind Anjas.

Dari looked at Anjas, the eyes of both of them seemed to be intertwined for a while, accompanied by an awkward changing atmosphere around the couple.
