Wife's Resilience

KHI 20'S

Bagas stepped his feet into the room where he worked. Inside there are Mira, Leon, and Galih.

"Tumben's on the come."

"See your clock sir."

"I'm sorry, but it's not too late. There's 5 minutes left." Bagas stared at the watch that was coiled in his hand.

"In the morning the seger was very face, out of everything semalem." seduced Mira on Bagas.

"Remember, the wife is still the puerperium." continued Mira.

"My wife is still puerper but she's good at making her husband happy." Bagas sat his ass in the chair. He just wants to heat up Galih.

"Padalah semalem did not do anything, just sleep doang." Bagas was happy.

"You're both so noisy, it's still morning." Leon continued with his disheveled face.

"Why elo, fight the same wife."

"My wife asked for a hand at her parents' house" Leon rubbed her hair rough.

"He's just been there, so it's a hassle."

"Cekk, you guys. Yuna's house is out of town, what about my job." Leon snorted sebal.

"Elo take a month off." proposed Mira with a laugh.

"Yes.is not a leave letter I received, but a PHK letter. Basic friends no morals."

"Elo negotiated with Yuna, but spoke slowly. Usually pregnant women are more sensitive to their feelings." suggested Bagas.

"Elo why Lih.. face in a book-rich bend, can not ration overnight." Mira pretends not to know the problem between Galih and Bagas.

"Work,, work,,," Leon said.

Not like the days before. The room feels empty now. There was no laughter as usual. Eve the battle is very felt. (like anything, fighting.. 🤭🤭)

"It feels alone in the room, more comfortable in the grave." murmured Mira but could still be heard by others.

Bagas's phone reads..

"Yes baby..."

"No, I'm not busy, what's wrong."

"Yes..."

"Yes already. You be careful, yeah.."

Galih tilted her lips when she heard the words Bagas on her phone.

"Who, tumben call dear."

"Secret.."

"Most of all Rena. Pake in secret everything." said Mira.

********

"Bak Rena, the phone rings." Mak Irah handed it to Rena.

"Thank you, mother."

"Dona." Rena's inner.

"Hello, what's up Don."

"We just met at a cafe near the supermarket, I just happened to want to buy something."

"okay." Rena closed her phone.

"Mom, I'm going to take home, want to go out with Dona." Rena said goodbye to mak Irah.

"Don't forget the permission first the same Bagas mbak.." remember Mak Irah.

"Yes mom, it's still a change of clothes." Rena headed to the room to change clothes.

"I'd better call Bagas first."

"Hello mas, sorry to interrupt, I'm busy again ya."

"I want to ask permission to leave the house, go to the supermarket after that want to meet with Dona at the cafe. Can mas?"

"Thank you, I hung up. Hard work."

*****

Rena walks into the cafe and circulates her gaze in search of Dona.

At the table by the window Dona waved her hand at Rena.

"Have you been here a long time?" Rena sits in front of Dona.

"Not yet." Dona waved a hand calling the cafe employees.

"I am this." Rena pointed to the menu book.

"OKs. This same one is the same." Dona pointed to the order on the menu book.

"What's up, tumben ngajak meet."

"You'll miss it." replied Dona, grinning.

"Whatever" said Rena flat

"I'm confused."

Dona stopped her words for a moment.

"About my matchmaking. I'm continuing what not."

"What's the matter."

"I feel uncomfortable being next to her."

"Very." Dona held her head with both hands.

"Mr.." Rena called the cafe employees.

"Our order was just wrapped in mbak, can be."

"Can be mbak." replied the cafe employee kindly.

"Ren, what the hell. Just be ashamed of you."

Rena and Dona are in Bagas' car. Today Bagas left for the office on a motorbike.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Kidikan you don't let it suck."

They were on the edge of the lake, the place where Rena was unwinded. Rena chose to sit in a quiet place.

"Here's where Bagas' mas declared his love for me." Rena's smile expands on her old story.

"Terusss,,," Dona moved her lips.

"Auu,, sick." Dona held her lips that were pinched by Rena.

Silent....

"Do you want to be a second wife." Rena asked with a serious face.

"You mean?"

"You said he had a wife."

"Maybe he wants to leave his wife for me."

Dona lowered her head.

"Don't you go crazy." Rena snapped at Dona

"Do you want a woman to be a widow because of you, Don thought. Put it where your brain is." Rena stood up from her seat holding back her annoyance at Dona.

"Where Dona I know, do you have the heart to see a woman crying because of her husband's stay. And worse, her husband left her because of another woman. And that woman is you." Rena never thought about why Dona could be like this.

Dona lowered her head while crying.

"You feel wrong, don't let you regret it later." Rena lowered her voice and held onto Dona's two shoulders.

"It's not love, it's madness." Dona cries in Rena's arms. On his pat softly Dona's shoulder.

"Did his wife know about your relationship." Rena loosened her embrace. Dona just nodded.

"Astaghfirullah.." Rena's tears dripped.

"What's he saying."

"I was on someone's phone. I don't know if he's his wife. He invited me to meet. There was absolutely no anger on his face. He smiled and said very kindly to me. He said "If you love each other I'll learn to be sincere. I will accept whatever decision my husband makes."

"Dona.." as soon as Rena's tears fell down her cheeks.

"What kind of woman she is, has a heart like an angel. And you.." Rena looked sharply at Dona while wiping her tears.

"What is your heart made of? Hearing you tell me I was crying. Especially seeing his face. I'm never going to be strong." Rena pointed right at Dona's chest.

"Why do you have to, Don, yes, all." Rena was sitting limp in the grass.

Dona hugged Rena from behind.

"What should I do Ren.."

"Leave that man, accept your match."

Dona took off her embrace from Rena.

"If this false feeling is continued. You're gonna hurt a lot of people's feelings." Rena raised Rena's face and looked at her.

"Look at me Don, you're not a cheap woman. You are not the destroyer of people's households. Remember Don, you will never be happy with your life. Where's my best friend Dona."

"I can think of it, I always think of it."

"You can definitely."

Rena and Dona stared at each other. From the gaze of the eyes, Rena gives support and encouragement to Dona.

"I want to meet the man you're dating."

"For what."

"Just be curious." Rena replied lying

"Where might I tell you the truth."

"You've met."

Rena looked at Dona as if she wanted an explanation.

"He's the doctor who treated you in the hospital."

Rena gawked and blinked her eyes as if she did not believe it. Dona looked at him and nodded.

"You're really stupid." Rena snapped Dona's head.

"Auuu,, sick." Dona stroked her head while pouting.

"He's a doctor and T.A.M.P.A.N." Rena spelled the word handsome.

"Your eyes are blind."Rena widens Dona's eyes using her hands. Dona brushed off Rena's hand.

"Now I'm getting sure." Rena stood up while shaking her waist and facing Dona.

"Yes, yes, you must, kudu, obligated, absolutely accept this matchmaking. Dot, don't wear a comma." His finger pointed at Dona.
