Wife's Resilience

KHI 36'S

Drive the car with one hand. While the other one held his phone while kissing it and sniffing it.

"On the hold of my phone already stuck the money. How 'bout.ahhh." Galih imagines Rena's beautiful face.

"Want to hug you and kiss you. If you wanted to be mine now, I would be so happy."

Galih hit the car's steering wheel.

"The only barrier is Bagas. But take it easy, a Galih has a thousand ways to approach his heart."

"I forgot, why I didn't ask about the woman named Intan to Rena."

*****

"Welcome to Rena."

Wati and Sari are very enthusiastic about welcoming Rena.

Rena could only laugh at their funny behavior.

"Thank you pretty." Rena rubbed their chins in turn.

"Hi hi hi..."

Dona came by stretching out her hands. In the arms of Rena. The two friends hugged each other. Like a long time no see. A few days ago they met. Wati and Sari just smiled looking at them.

"I was worried you weren't coming."

"Biasalah, the subscriber ojek moved to another heart. So it's hard to leave."

"Why not take a car or a motorcycle."

"The car is used by men, the motor, it's not allowed."

"Yes elaaaa, fearing his wife's blisters might."

"Okay, now we open the button. Let's go." Wati spoke in a loud voice while walking ahead of the others.

Others can only cover their ears while shaking their heads.

When lunch time Rena entered the room Dona with two portions of food.

"May busy?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"Eat with yuk."

Rena eats with Dona in Dona's room talking. Rena asked about her relationship with Angga. Dona is shocked to discover who Tio really is.

"That time you told me to call your mom, use your phone. Keep taking pictures of you with him. From there I know."

Rena didn't tell me how she found out about Tio. He was afraid that Dona was angry with him and Bagas for opening his phone without permission and pranking him.

"So you and Bagas..." Dona looked at Rena with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, mas Tio is the husband of Mira's mother. Mas Bagas' office friend. They're even a division."

Dona just lowered her head while stirring up the food on her plate.

"They want to get me married soon. But you know for yourself. How could we marry without love." Dona stopped talking. He looked back at Rena.

"I'm sure too, Angga has no feelings for me. All this time he just looked good because, maybe, it wasn't nice to mama."

Rena looked at her best friend. There was pity in his heart.

"Mas Tio said he would divorce his wife, after which he would marry me." Dona spoke by turning her eyes down.

"If it's true what I think, then here I will feel the deepest heartache." Rena's inner self.

"I have to how, I and Mas Tio love each other. But on the other hand, I have to think about the feelings of my parents and also my wife. Moreover, all of papa's business associates know that I and Angga have been betrothed. And we're getting married."

Rena's eyes have started to condense. Not wanting his best friend to know, he left immediately.

Rena went into the bathroom. She was crying there. This was where the safest place to throw away all the chaos raging in his heart was.

"They're going to get divorced, Dona's going to unite with Mas Tio. Mira will be alone. If indeed all this time they had a relationship, it would not be difficult for Mira and Bagas together."

Rena's tears were shed as if she didn't want to stop. The phone in his pocket suddenly sounded. He took the phone, and tears were shed on his cheek.

A pictorial message added to his heart getting sicker.

"YOUR BELOVED HUSBAND IS AT WORK"

That is the sentence that completes the photo. Bagas and Mira sat in one chair. Where Mira sat on the handle of the chair. And Bagas right next to him. They seemed to be observing something on the computer that was in front of them with Mira's hand located on Bagas' shoulder.

Rena tries to dial the number that sent her the photos of Bagas and Mira. But the number is no longer active.

Rena contacted Galih, and it turned out that Galih was still in the next town. He hasn't returned to the office.

"That means not Galih, then who."

Rena massages her temples. Dizziness suddenly lodged in his head.

"OKE Rena. You have to be a strong woman. Okay," Rena took a slow breath and encouraged herself.

Then he wudhu. After the prayer he returned to his place of work. It's at the cashier.

*****

"Thank you, I'll transfer the money. Remember, shut up."

Galih was talking to someone on her phone.

"Rena, right now must have believed that it wasn't me who always sent her a message."

Walk towards a restaurant. He is currently meeting with a co-worker who works with the office where he works. He represents the office to meet with clients.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, I just arrived. Please sit down."

Before continuing the conversation the two of them got to know each other first.

"Turn" Galih stretched out his hand.

"People." Angga welcomed a helping hand from Galih.

"Sorry, your own father?"

"Actually my assistant was supposed to be here. But he couldn't attend. So I came myself."

"It's an honor to meet you in person."

Angga and Galih talked about the project that will be done together.

*****

"Same sister your mas will be here Lin?"

"Not knowing mom, because Rena today has started working."

Lina could tell Rena was back at work because every day they always reply to messages. Although they are brothers-in-law but they can be said to be familiar.

"Will you get home or not?" bu Anis asked while sewing Mr. Ramli's torn clothes.

"Where does Lina know mom.."

"Yes, you probably know, ask me the same question there."

"Mom,, just interrupt..It was good to see television too. Lina's cell phone in the room."

"For a long time mother sew your mouth. Ask the parents not to leave. Even nagging." mom Anis thrusting a sewing needle at Lina.

"Just use my phone, this." Intan handed the phone to Lina.

"Do you have Bagas's number?"

"Ehh, no. I mean Rena" Intan said with a pushy smile.

Mom forbid them to call Rena. Because he knows if Rena works at the cashier. I rarely hold a cell phone.

Finally Lina told Intan to call Bagas. Lina mentioned Bagas' mobile number to Intan.

Though Intan already has Bagas number, but he pretended not to have it. What a cunning brain.

Intan calls Bagas, he says that he was told by Anis to ask if he would come here.

"How's it?" ask Anis after Intan hangs up.

"Mas Bagas came home from work straight here ma'am."

"Good, I'll cook more for dinner."

"This is a good opportunity for me. I should be able to get some sympathy from Bagas. I'm going to dress up pretty tonight." Inner Intan while smiling to herself.

"Hoe,, lo tambet. Smiles are not clear." Lina nudged Intan's shoulder.

Intan was just grinning while grinning unclear. Lina shook her head, and continued eating the snacks in her hands while watching her favorite television show.
