Wife's Resilience

KHI 16'S

"How, do you already have the answer." Bagas invites Rena to meet at the edge of the lake.

"We just go like this. Let time answer." Rena paused for a moment.

"Honestly, I'm afraid to start a relationship with you." Rena's hands clasped each other with a feeling of unworthiness.

"If I may know, what are you afraid of."

Bagas asked gently. He knew that right now Rena was in a state of doubt.

"If you don't want to tell a story, that's okay." Bagas left his place.

"I'm afraid you're lying to me about your feelings. I'm the girl from the village who just graduated High School. While you are so handsome, and are studying at university. No one else may like you."

Bagas stopped his steps and turned his back.

"A lot of women in college like me."

Rena looked up her head at Bagas.

"But nothing can enter my heart."

Bagas sat on his knees in front of Rena while holding Rena's hand.

"From the first time I saw you, I was interested in you. You know for yourself, how long I've been trying to get close to you. Not just one or three months." Bagas sighed.

"Your face is always on my mind. Sorry, I'm not a romantic guy. I can only say what I'm feeling."

Bagas lowered his head. Rena's outstretched hand stroked Bagas' hair.

"We'll try."

Bagas immediately took off Rena's hand and stood up. Rena was surprised by him.

"Seriously, so you accepted my love. From today we're going out." Bagas did not believe what Rena said.

"Yes." Yeah."

Bagas carried Rena in his arms.

"Thank you for giving me a chance."

"Thank you for being patient with my behavior."

The two of them sat chatting with smiles continuously expanding on his lips and hands clasping each other.

"Today you're not working."

"I'm not working, the shop I work in will be sold. The owner needs money. I'm looking for a new job."

"Just calm down, you'll definitely get a new job."

Finally, Rena got a new job. He works at Dona's boutique.

Her love story with Bagas went smoothly. Until they finally got married.

******

the flash back has been completed, let's go back to the life of Rena and Bagas who are now. 😊😊

They went into a food stall near the lake. Actually, the place is not like a shop. But not a restaurant either. It even looks like a cafe, but prepares a variety of eating and drinking menus such as in restaurants.

" It's not Bagas."

"Yes, same Rena."

"Nor..."

Bagas turned his head towards the voice that called his name. It looks like some of Bagas' college friends are gathering. Galih Included.

"What is this event." asked Bagas as soon as he got near them.

"Regular, get-togethers."

They shake each other. So too with Rena.

"Hi Ren. how are you." Galih asked as their hands shook.

"You guys keep talking. I'll stay first."

"Where to go, just here."

"Pity my wife, she'll be bored. You're all men."

Bagas glanced at Galih, and it turned out that he was still looking at his wife.

"What message would you like." Rena opened the menu book as soon as it reached their table.

"As far as you are." Bagas answered flatly.

Then Rena ordered a meal and a drink.

"When we haven't been here in a long time, the place is still the same. Still too many. Just change the paint color." Rena circulated the view throughout the room.

Feeling neglected Rena immediately patted her husband's arm softly.

"Why the hell, just shut up."

" Did Galih contact you often." instead of answering Rena's question, Bagas asked Rena instead.

"You're why it's like that, so weird." Rena was surprised, because they had never talked about Galih.

Bagas still looked at Rena with a flat expression.

"Ever, just a few times." Rena answered honestly.

"He called just asking about you, these messages are still on the phone. I haven't deleted it." Rena took her phone from inside the bag and handed it to Bagas.

"What the hell is it." Bagas took Rena's phone and looked at the contents of the message that Galih sent to his wife.

Huuufff...

Bagas exhaled his breath long.

The food they ordered finally came.

"We eat first, I'll tell you later." Bagas returned Rena's phone.

"Why do I feel like saying something's wrong with Galih. Several times I caught him looking at Rena with his strange gaze. Maybe I can try to convince my feelings by doing this. Although this is very difficult." Inner Bagas.

Bagas takes Rena's food and intends to bribe her.

"Aaa.. Come on eat baby, open your mouth." Bagas thrust a spoonful of food into Rena's mouth.

Anna opened her mouth and ate it.

"What's wrong with Bagas' mas, why did he become like this." Rena's inner winked her eyes and continued to open her mouth to receive a bribe from Bagas.

Bagas took a tissue and wiped the corners of Rena's lips.

Rena also woke up from her daydream. He immediately took the tissue from Bagas' hand and wiped his own lips. Bagas just smiled at the confusion of his wife.

On the other table appeared someone clenching his hand. He stood up and pushed his chair back. Until his chair rolled over. Some people were surprised at him.

"Elo why."

"Gue's going to the toilet for a minute."

"You just go to the toilet until it's a craze like this, pity that chair."

"Possibly be an earbelt."

Walk immediately to the toilet. Bagas just looked at his desk. His eyes and Galih had met for a while. Bagas realized there was a radiance of anger as Galih looked at him.

"What more message do you want."

" I'm full of it."

"Then we go home, it's late."

They left that place. Before leaving they approached Bagas' friend to say goodbye.
