Wife Interlude
Chapter.63 The truth
That night, Rina decided to go into the room because the star was already sleepy, leaving Arya and her family who seemed still cool chatting, enjoying their time together, before tomorrow morning everything will return to their respective activities.
However, a few moments later Rina who had seen the Star fell asleep, moved out of the room with an empty glass because she felt thirsty.
However, something she heard while wanting to enter the living room, made Rina stop her steps. The woman just silently stared with the empty glass in her grasp.
"Rina is indeed a good woman, she is also polite and good at cooking. But, Ummi still feels not willing if you want to marry her, Arya," said Ummi who made Rina widen her eyes with a heart that was racing.
During this time he thought if his relationship and Arya went well, what else Arya family also looks to welcome him and the Stars very well.
However, it turns out that all is wrong, he may only be considered as a stranger or ordinary guest, in the eyes of Aryan family. His presence may even be just a bully in the family event.
"Ummi remains on the previous ummi choice, namely Anisa. She is a good girl, well educated, pious, polite, and can also do homework. He's the perfect example for a future wife and mother, Arya."
"You should consider again to accept the matchmaking proposal offered by Ustadz Heri" Ummi continued.
"Ummi even just met with Rina a day, don't be too hasty to judge, Ummi. Rina is also no less great than Anisa, the proof can make Arya fall in love." Arya tried to give understanding to ummi.
"Again, love and home are not about who is great, Ummi. But, who fits .. and I choose Rina, because I already feel that it fits her," Arya continued.
"Rina is indeed a good woman, she can still be polite and maintain her humility even though she is now successful. It's just that I'm still in doubt because she's Anjas' ex-wife, plus there's a Star among them." Ray comes to assess the relationship between Arya and Rina.
"Suit and love are necessary in domestic relationships, but if it will only bring problems for us in the future, what for?" keep Ray on.
"Ummi also agreed with Ray. The fact that Rina is Anjas' ex-wife, it also makes Ummi unable to accept your relationship, ummi does not want our family back to deal with them." Ummi chimed in on Ray's words.
"That's the past, Ummi," said Arya. He still feels hurt to Anjas and his family, but time has passed for so long, after all, Rina has nothing to do with what happened a few years ago.
"But the past is still imprinting for us, Arya." Now it was abi's turn to open the sound.
Arya was speechless, that matter indeed made so many changes to their lives. The incident also made Arya very sure, if abi and ummi really love him sincerely. Not only because of a trust that was left by both of his biological parents, before the incident that claimed the life of the brand occurred.
"Ummi, Abi-" Arya wishes to her parents, asking for her blessing for her relationship with Rina.
"Arya, we won't force you to accept your match and Anisa's, you can choose any woman you feel is suitable to be your companion, but for Rina, we have objections," abi replied firmly.
"You are also not an old virgin, there are many girls out there who like you. Why do you have to choose Rina who has been married and has one child?" said Ummi chimed in.
Arya was silent, she stared one by one at her family with a sad look. It hurts when the love he has been fighting for is now in sight, but even hindered by the blessing of the family.
Rina who heard all that clearly, seemed to shed tears, she never thought that all the hospitality of the Aryan family was just a falsehood, in fact when she was not there they talked about a unilateral assessment of her.
The glass that Rina had been holding since earlier had even almost fallen, if only she did not quickly wake up. Without approaching, Rina chose to turn around and walk back to the guest room, with her heart back injured.
In fact, no matter how good he is, his current status remains the main assessment for a family. Or perhaps she is the unconscious, expecting the perfect Arya to be a companion when she is only a widow who has nothing to be proud of.
.
Meanwhile, in another place Tari who had just come out of the Anjas moil seemed to be walking straight towards their bedroom, he also told Siti to pack up the property of Syafira, for a few days.
"Where are you going, baby?" ask Anjas who has been following Tari.
"Don't I just say, if I need some alone time. Give me a week to get out of this house for a while. I need some fresh air and away from you, Mas," replied Tari as she continued packing her clothes and some items she had to carry.
"But, where to, Dance? Why should you also bring Syafira?" anjas asked with an uneasy feeling. She was afraid that she would be left behind by Tari and Syafira herself.
"So, I don't know yet. But, I promise a week from now I will come with a decision that I have taken carefully," said Tari convinced, he then stopped his activities and approached Anjas until now both seem to stand face to face.
"Again, I think we do need time to fix each other, ask back to our hearts, whether we have always loved each other, he said, or just an effort to fulfill our own ego," continued Tari again. The woman then took Anjas' hand and grabbed him.
"So before you told me about your relationship with Rina, you promised to leave the final decision to me. Then I want you to promise, Mom. Whatever my decision will be, you will agree to it," said Tari lirih.
Along the way home, Tari kept thinking about what she should do once she arrived, until this way, to find a new way for her household. Either it's a new life together, or a breakup that will be the end of the matter.
Dari hopes that after this he and Anjas can mutually introspect themselves and get one way out of the chaos of their hearts.
Anjas could no longer hold back Tari, moments later he could only stand on the porch watching his son and wife go away leaving him alone with his guilt.
