Wife Interlude

Chapter.36 Ego and reality

"Say, in half an hour, how come you're out now?" ask Rina as soon as she gets in front of Anjas.

"Heem, it turned out to be able to finish faster, so I took the initiative to pick you up," Arya replied as she turned her eyes to Rina.

"Yee, means now we can go for a walk three dong, Pah? I'm gonna go get some ice cream!" exclaim the Stars with their cheerful faces.

"Can dong. But, Papa change clothes first yes," said Arya who still uses her doctor's robe.

"Eum," nodded his excited star.

"Come, take Papa to the room," continued Arya again while lowering the Star then holding her hand to walk together.

The star seemed to be walking cheerfully between Rina and Arya. The three continue to walk with the joy of the Star as a complement.

Arya who had seen Anjas seemed to pay attention to Rina's face, she knew that this incident could gradually happen. Although Rina continued to shy away from Anjas, in fact the blood relationship between Bintang and Anjas could not be forgotten.

Arya does like Rina, she even likes it since the koas first. A jovial and diligent girl Arya often sees is helping her parents work in the fields, has unknowingly captured her attention, to get a special place in her heart.

However, she had to willingly leave without saying anything to Rina, since her service period was over. The busyness in the city made him constantly restrained to return to the village, until when he wanted to return and regret his feelings for Rina, he got the news that Rina had married a man.

Her heart was very sick at that time, Arya felt that she failed to make Rina as her own, she had fallen because of the love that was too late to be expressed.

Until suddenly God reunited her suddenly with Rina, when she had begun to forget him. The happiness he felt was certainly not intermittent, because he knew that Rina turned out to be two-bodied.

Even so, Arya has made peace with her love, she chooses to be a friend to Rina. Until the two become close, before finally returning to tenuous after Anjas knows their relationship.

Some time back lost contact, it turns out fate brought them together again, when Rina was about to give birth, and make the relationship both go well until now.

They arrive at Arya's room, Rina chooses to wait outside, while Bintang and Arya go inside.

.

Whose kid is that? Is that the child that was in Rina's womb? batin Anjas full of questions.

Anjas who was watching Rina with various questions raging in his mind, seemed to be approached by a beautiful woman who then embraced his hand.

"What's up, Mom?" tanya Tari, while looking at the eyes of Anjas.

Anjas turned his head to his wife, he then sighed tiredly while looking at the face of Tari who was beside him.

"It's okay. Have you been to the toilet?" ask Anjas.

"Already, let's go home," take Tari while holding Anjas' hand spoiled.

Anjas nodded, and they went out of the hospital together, with Anjas's thoughts still on the boy and Rina.

Rina's attitude that seemed not to know him, coupled with the little boy who had called Rina by the name of Mama.

Was that child the one that Rina had conceived? Hem, it seems like he has now grown up, Inner Anjas keeps asking about the same thing over and over again while walking with Tari.

What is the relationship between Rina and Arya? Why are they still together? Why does the boy call him Papa? Are they married? Is that boy really Aryan's son, and they both wanted to set me up?

The questions now kept turning around inside Anjas' head, the sudden encounter, unable to ignore it in the slightest.

The past he had so hard to forget, now began to come again, making him again dissolve in the valley of memories that had happened for many years.

A sense of blockage in the chest, when he saw the closeness of the boy and Rina with Arya, made him unable to forget their impromptu meeting.

.

This time Bintang wants to play in the time zone in the shopping center, before eating his favorite ice cream. Of course, all of that was immediately approved by Arya who was indeed so pampering him.

Arya already considers Bintang as her own child, the closeness of both of them even now exceeds the closeness of her son and biological father.

"So you met Anjas?" asked Arya, when they were accompanying the stars to play.

Rina seemed to see Arya at a glance, she then nodded faintly in response.

Arya smiled, she could see the change in the look of Rina's face becoming more moody than usual.

"How are you feeling?" arya asked in a relaxed tone, although she did not deny it, if there was fear in her heart.

"It's okay, it's normal," replied Rina briefly, with a chest scrape. It seems like Lina is uncomfortable with the discussion this time.

"really?" Arya seemed to be leaning slightly, for the sake of seeing the beautiful face of the woman beside her.

"Heem," nodded Rina. "What if we meet again? Now we've walked a different path, so what am I thinking about it for?"

"But, your eyes and body don't look like that" said Arya still trying to make Rina tell her honestly about her feelings.

Rina looked at the face of the man who had been so many meritorious in her life, she then exhaled softly while bowing her head, before speaking back.

"I'm okay, really. It's just, I'm confused if one day he will come and ask about the Star," said Rina in a soft voice in her last sentence. His eyes seemed to shift to see the child who was playing.

Arya also took a slow breath, actually she was waiting for this incident to happen, considering that Rina who had always felt not ready to undergo a new relationship.

Arya wants to know, is there still love in Rina's heart for Anjas, so that the woman can not open her heart to other men, including herself? Or maybe it was just a trauma to the fate of her previous marriage?

Yes, in this six-year period, Arya had already expressed her feelings for Rina repeatedly. However, in fact, Rina always rejected it on the grounds that it was not ready.

"That's not to be so thought out, I'm sure Bintang is a smart kid, he can understand this situation." Arya follows the direction of Rina's view, on the Star.

If it must be honest, there is also a sense of unwillingness in the heart of Arya, if someday the Star must call other men Papa or Dad. However, Arya is also self-aware, if Bintang is not her real child, she should be able to suppress her selfishness and be mature, for this matter.

"The matter of Anjas .. it's been six years, Rin. I'm sure Anjas already has a life of his own, and maybe he's happy with his little family with Tari. So don't think about it anymore, hem," continued Arya who tried to calm Rina's mind.

The woman looked at Arya for quite a while, until she finally breathed a tired breath and nodded, approving of the words of the man beside her.

Maybe it was just a fear, because he loved the Star so much and did not want to lose it.

There was an ego in his heart that felt unwilling to introduce Anjas as the biological father of the Star. Given all this time Anjas never recognized Bintang as his biological child, even at the end of their meeting.

"Nothing will happen to you, I promise," said Arya while embracing Rina's shoulders, giving peace to the woman who looked so tough.

Lina did not refuse, she simply nodded while looking back at the Stars.

Yes nothing will happen to us, Star is my son and will remain my son. I conceived her, I gave birth to her, and I raised her. He's just a biological father, nothing more.
