Wife Interlude

Chapter.40 Is Anjas' Son

"I'm fine, Hen," he replied after a slow breath.

Heni looked at his best friend with a frown, it was clear that actually Rina was not okay at this time.

"really? I don't see that," said Heni, looking at Rina deeply.

Lina returned Heni's gaze, she then exhaled again, then leaned her body on the back of the sofa.

"I'm fine, Hen." he said still evasively.

"I'm sorry .. 'cause of me, you're gonna see her again." Heni lowered her head, feeling guilty over the meeting of her best friend and ex-husband.

Rina looked at Heni then she smiled faintly. "It's not the first time, Hen. After all, right said Arya, if indeed me and Mas Anjas are destined to meet again, then I will not be able to continue to avoid, right? I don't want to have to face it."

"You scared?" ask Heni lirih.

Rina smiled faintly as she exhaled softly before answering her best friend's question.

"No, Hen, after all he is already happy with his own family," Rina replied straightforwardly.

"I'm only confused if I have to explain this situation to the Stars. I also have to prepare my heart, to accept that one day Star will have to admit that Mas Anjas is his biological father" he said.

"Why the hell, don't you just accept Arya's love, keep marrying her? It will be safer for you and the Stars" grumbled Heni, as a friend of course he knew that Arya had more feelings for Rina.

"You yourself, why is it still cool to be single until now, heh?" Rina asked back to Heni.

"Yes, it's because-"

"Because you also still can't get out of past pain right, Hen?" Rina immediately cut off Heni's words, leaving the woman speechless.

As much as Heni denies, in fact the shadow of past pain still continues to haunt him until now, until it feels like he becomes reluctant to establish a new relationship with a man.

"But, Arya is different, Rin. He's been proving his loyalty to you all this time, he's been so patient waiting for you to make peace with the past" Heni said, defending Arya.

"That's exactly it, Hen. I'm afraid that all her sacrifices will be disappointed if I accept them while my wounds are still not fully healed" replied Rina with reddened eyes.

Given how Arya was always with him, always warms her heart, although finally a sense of sadness because she is still afraid to move forward, making the relationship both still running in place until now.

Heni was speechless, he could no longer say anything, because in fact he could also feel the wounds experienced by Rina.

.

The next morning, Rina and Heni who had just arrived at the restaurant, were surprised by the sudden arrival of Tari.

"Sorry, ma'am, we told you the restaurant isn't open yet. But, this mother forced to meet with Ms. Rina," said one of the employees who did stay at the restaurant.

"Yes, it's okay, you just go back to work" replied Rina, gesturing for Heni to leave.

After seeing all her co-workers leave, Rina just turned to Dance, who was sitting in front of her.

"If you can know, what is necessary? Has anything changed from her birthday party plans?" asked Rina while then sitting in front of Tari.

Dance smiled faintly, her gaze on Rina was so different from the previous meeting, that it made Lina's heart feel uneasy.

"Ah, no, the concept of the event has been good all, it's just that there is something about you that makes me curious and want to make sure," said Tari while upholding her body.

The deg!

Rina straightened up, though as quickly as possible, Lina tried to remain calm in front of the woman. "Sure what is it?"

Very quickly the change in his face, from what was originally so serious, now he again looked relaxed, Rina murmured inwardly.

"It seems you are no stranger to me. Since yesterday I keep remembering, have we met before," said Tari still with his little oddity.

"After seeing you now, I became convinced that we had met before" he continued.

Rina was increasingly confused by the words of Dance, because as she remembered she had never met Dance before.

"I've seen you several times, with your future husband, a few years ago. It's just because now your appearance has changed, so I don't really recognize you." Dance back to talking.

The frown on Rina's forehead deepened, upon hearing the words of Dance, as she felt she had never met Dance before.

"It seems that you were pregnant at the time, which is why I thought that you were husband and wife."

Rina now nods her head faintly, if that is the case, it means that when she has not divorced Anjas.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence" said Rina who was still not suspicious of the arrival of Dance to him.

"Yes," nods Dance. "If this man is not your husband, who is the father of the child?"

Lina straightened her body as soon as she heard Dance question her. Her face turned red, Rina tried to dampen her shock, then she smiled faintly.

"That's my privacy, and it doesn't seem like you have the right to ask about it," Lina replied in a different tone of voice than before.

Dance chuckles. "Oh, sorry I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just a little curious."

Rina smiled thinly while exhaling a rough breath, she did not expect that a lady who looked classy like Tari could do any of this action.

It is surprising that all of this is based on curiosity. Remember Dance is the child of a respected person who has a higher education. Of course Tari knows what should be restricted when being with new people.

According to Rina it was not a question that could be spoken to someone who had just become acquainted like them, it was even possible for a friend, it would be very awkward to ask him.

"If there is nothing we need to talk about anymore, you should get out of here immediately," said Rina directly, she was already very uncomfortable with the existence of Dance at this time.

"I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous. Actually I also want to add guests who will come," said Tari still with a smile.

Rina, who had been about to move, sat back in her original place, even though her mood had already deteriorated, because of Dance's speech.

The two finally returned to discuss the plans for the event which will take place in a week. Lina seemed to be professional even though her mood was still shrouded in discomfort.

After half an hour of talking, Dance left. The two of them walked out of the restaurant.

"It's nice to work with you, Rin. Hopefully in the future we can be friends," said Tari while the two are walking together.

"sure." Rina answered briefly, though a thin smile she was still trying to maintain.

Dari smiled at Rina's reply, she then walked towards her car, until when she had held the doorknob, Tari turned back while calling Rina.

Lina who was about to turn around to go back in, turned her attention to Dance again.

"Is that child Anjas' son?" tanya Dance suddenly.

The deg!

Rina widened her eyes, her heart suddenly stopped, her hands clenched firmly, feeling surprised by the question from Tari.

True to his suspicions, Tari did not come just to talk about the matter of the event. However, there is another purpose hidden behind that reason.
