Wife's Resilience
KHI 23'S
"Doctor Angga isn't here yet?" Rena looked at the watch that was coiled around her arm.
"Maybe it's still on the way." Bagas raised his hand and waved it at the employees at the cafe.
"We order a drink first while waiting for Angga's doctor to come, what do you want to order?" Bagas presents the menu book to Rena.
"Here you go." Rena pointed to the drink list in the menu book.
Bagas mentions their orders to the cafe employees.
"Try calling Angga's doctor, who knows he forgot. He's a busy man." Rena began to feel worried if the doctor Angga did not come.
"Patience, we'll wait a minute."
The drinks they ordered came.
Silent...
Only a few times the water was heard in the drink by Rena and Bagas using a straw.
"I'm sorry I was late, because suddenly there was a patient that I had to deal with first." Angga felt bad for Bagas and Rena because they had arrived too late.
"It's okay Doc, please sit down." Bagas stood up and let Dr. Angga sit down.
"Isn't that the duty of a doctor." continued Bagas after sitting down.
They looked at each other and smiled.
"Please call me Angga. Don't use the word doctor."
Rena just kept quiet about their conversation.
"How's Rena's mother's condition, it's better, right?"
"Alkhamdulillah already doc, uh I mean Angga." Rena smiled awkwardly.
"Sorry before, actually there is what Mr. Bagas and Rena's mother want to see me." Angga asked politely to them.
"Just call our names without sir or mother, so it's better to hear. We are not too old either." Bagas felt a calling for her as well as Rena too old for their age.
They laugh together.
"All right."
"We actually want to talk about Dona."
Rena immediately bluntly told Angga why they invited him to meet.
Bagas looked at Rena slowly.
" Rena, Rena, basic woman. Can't be a little more patient." Inner Bagas.
Angga looked at Rena with a probing gaze.
"I'm sorry, doc, I mean Angga you better order a drink first." bargain Bagas to melt the atmosphere.
"Look, we're not talking here. Better we talk somewhere else." Angga's expression changed 360°.
At the beginning of the conversation Angga looks very friendly and friendly to them. But after Rena said their purpose Angga's expression turned cold. It was as if he had a dual personality. Between cruel and gentle.
Angga stood up from his seat. Rena looked towards Bagas. Bagas nodded at Rena. It was as if she knew the meaning of Rena's gaze on her.
They join hands and follow Angga.
****
Rena circulated her gaze throughout the room she now entered with Bagas.
"Please sit down." Sitting on a single sofa.
Rena and Bagas sit side by side.
"It just so happens to be my friend's cafe, so I can borrow this room." Angga explained to Bagas and Rena because they looked confused.
"Actually I wanted to see the doc, uh I mean," Rena closed her eyes for a moment to neutralize the nervousness running through her heart.
Bagas holds Rena's hand, giving Rena power.
"Anybody who talks to Angga." Bagas whispered to Rena.
"No need to, let me. Dona is my best friend. I'll finish like I promised Aunt Tika." Rena smiled and adjusted her breathing.
Angga just looked at the two of them expressionlessly.
"Why?" tanya Angga is short. But his eyes pierced like a fork (indeed food, to be pricked.. 🤭🤭)
(who is the real doctor Angga.. 🤔🤔.. only the author and Bagas know...😉😉)
Bagas held both of Rena's shoulders. He looked at Rena while smiling to provide support.
"Who is this man, his attitude is so calm. Usually they will retreat to see the gaze of my eyes that can intimidate the interlocutor." Angga's mind while staring at Bagas with a face that can not be guessed. FLATTER.
"I'll tell you why Aunt Tika betrothed you to her daughter. Dona." Rena opened her voice as soon as she could fight her nervousness.
Rena told Angga everything.
Angga just sat quietly and listened to all the stories of Rena without cutting off the words of Rena. He sat quietly with his flat face. It can even be said without expression.
"As I thought, he already knew everything. With the position he had there was no way he didn't know. But why does he still accept this match." Inner Bagas.
Bagas can guess it from the attitude of Angga when he heard the story of Rena.
"What do you want?"
"Cooperation." replied Rena calmly. Rena is now able to control herself. The look of intimidation from Angga was no longer working for him.
Instantly Bagas turned to his wife after hearing Rena's reply.
"You are indeed a great woman." Inner Bagas with a faint smile glanced at Rena.
"This woman, can change things quickly." Angga's inner admiration."
"You are a doctor, surely every day many patients you help. Aren't we?"
Rena stopped her words and smiled at Angga.
"There's someone who really needs your help. My best friend, the woman you're dating. Dona."
Bagas sat quietly beside Rena. He believes his wife can solve this problem.
Angga narrowed his eyes.
"If you don't help him, someone's household will be destroyed. A woman will be a widow. And the good name of Dona's parents will be destroyed instantly. "
Rena stopped her words and changed her seat. He lifted one leg, crossed one leg.
"By continuing to accept this match, you will save many people. Isn't that your day-to-day job."
Angga stood up from his seat. He walked to the window. His hands were put in his pants pocket while looking out the window.
Bagas following Angga. He stood beside Angga.
"Whether a doctor and also the owner of a large handsome-faced company will lose the charm of a married man." Bagas tried to make Angga's heart hot.
"What people say, if they know a handsome doctor and CEO of a big company, they're rejected by women because of a married man."
Angga turned around and looked at Rena.
"Will this handsome doctor conquer the heart of a woman. I'm just curious." Rena tried to make Angga more challenged.
"I will bring your friend to his knees before me, he will be in the hands of an Angga because he has dared to refuse this matchmaking." Angga looked at his palm. And clasped his palm tightly.
He stepped out of the room leaving Bagas and Rena.
"We managed to make him hot."
"At least he didn't cancel this match."
Bagas embraces Rena's shoulders. They walked out of the room.
"The mission is over, just report to the chairman."
"Chairman?"
"Aunty I mean mas,,,"
"We'll see what Angga will do."
"Rubber. That handsome doctor seems to have been incited by our words." Rena said with a happy tone.
Bagas took off his embrace on Rena. He walked alone leaving Rena.
Rena soon followed her husband's steps. He held Bagas' hand. But let go by Bagas. Rena stopped her steps. Looking at Bagas from behind.
"Why the hell, it was okay. Why is it so strange all of a sudden." Rena immediately walked quickly to catch up to Bagas.
