Wife's Resilience

KHI 38'S

The rain started to fall. An uneasiness began to enter Rena's heart. He stood up from his seat and paced back and forth while looking at the watch that was coiled around his wrist.

"Where is Bagas, on the phone is not picked up. If you can't pick up at least ngabarin first. It rained everything." Rena murmured.

Rena always looked to the right and left. He saw that no vehicles were passing through. Now in addition to anxiety, now also increased fear in the heart of Rena.

Rena had waited for almost half an hour. He decided to go look for a public vehicle. He took the phone from his bag and put it in his pocket. Because he currently wears a jacket outside his work uniform.

Rena walked in the rain that was not too heavy by using a bag as an umbrella. With his left hand he carries the right high sandal that he uses to work. He looked back and forth looking for an ojek. For about 15 minutes he walked barefoot but found no ojek.

"Fate, fate." Rena murmured while enduring the coldness that began to invade her body.

Because of the cold and tired of walking Rena looking for a big pohoh to shelter.

"Yes, Bagas where the hell. No news either."

Just as he was standing under a tree with pale lips and a shivering body, a car stopped in front of him.

"Lake in."

Someone opened the car door from inside. Without thinking Rena directly into the car belongs to Angga.

"Sorry, the car's getting wet."

Rena felt bad, because her body was soaking wet. Seeing Rena cold Angga shut off the coolant in his car.

Angga asked Rena's home address and drove her home. Actually, he just attended his best friend's birthday party. On the way he saw Rena under a tree. His body looks wet with one hand holding his back. Because of his pity, Angga finally decided to approach him.

Angga drove up to the front of Rena's house.

"Thank you very much, you didn't stop by first."

Without answering Rena's speech and invitation, Angga closed the car door and drove forward.

"Ohh, my goodness, there are such humans. Not polite. The doctor is like that." Rena grumbled while walking into the house. After that, he took a warm bath.

"Mas Bagas where the hell, at home also does not exist. Good thing there's doctor songong."

She is currently soaking with warm water in the bathtub. I heard his phone ringing. But he was reluctant to stand up from his soaking in the warm water. Let it be

his phone continued to sing without intending to see it.

"Mas, don't you pick up Rena?" lina asked while standing in the middle of the door.

"What time is it?"

Instead of answering questions from his sister, Bagas asked back while drinking coffee.

"Half nine more."

"Gosh my god."

Bagas immediately stood up and ran towards the room. Ms. Anis and Mr. Ramli just looked on while wondering.

"Why Bagas ma'am?"

"Mom doesn't know, sir."

Still at the door, Lina asked Intan.

"Why don't you remind Bagas."

"Sorry, I don't have a cell phone either. So don't know what time it is." kilah Intan.

Whereas actually Intan deliberately did not tell Bagas. She still wants to linger with Rena's husband. Hearing Intan's reply, Lina turned around and walked to the living room back.

Inside the room Bagas saw his cell phone. There were so many missed calls from his wife. He tried calling back. But not in the lift.

The curious Ms. Anis followed Bagas to the room. He asked why Bagas was running. Bagas also said that he had promised to pick up Rena.

"It's mom, but it's not lifted."

Anis's mother shouted to Lina.

"What the hell is mom, the nights are screaming."

"You call your mom now. You here, I promised not to be picked up. Where's the rain again."

Lina called Rena. But also not lifted.

Finally Bagas came home to pick up Rena at the boutique.

*****

Finished bathing Rena doing the duty as a Muslim. After that he went to the kitchen to make a warm tea. One glass of warm tea is spent. Take the flu medicine in the medicine box and then drink it without eating first. Then she laid her body on the bed without looking at her phone.

Rena's body feels cold, it looks like she has a fever due to rain water plus soaking in the water at night. He also fell asleep in his sleep.

*****

Bagas is in front of the boutique. The boutique is closed. The more the night the rain does not subside but instead the more intense. On the phone back his wife's number and not picked up by Rena.

Bagas drove his car home. Until the house he opened the door. The door lock has three. Bagas holds one key. Rena also holds one key. The other key is held by Mak Irah.

After entering the house, Bagas immediately rushed into the room. His wife was sleeping under the blanket. There was a feeling of relief in his heart. He saw Rena's phone on the table ringing. But not a little disturbing sleep Rena. Bagas moved closer to the table and took Rena's phone. It was Dona who was calling his wife.

"Hello.."

"Bagas, where's Rena going? From earlier on the phone wasn't picked up." Dona's nagging behind the phone.

"Sleep."

Dona told me about her worries when she came home from work, while Rena hasn't picked up Bagas yet.

After finishing talking with Dona on the phone Bagas approached Rena. He touched Rena's body.

"Hot."

Bagas holds Rena's forehead. A little bit of blankets covered Rena's body.

"It's sweating." Bagas again covered the blanket to Rena's body.

Bagas got up from his seat and went to the kitchen. He only found Rena's old tea glasses.

"So he hasn't eaten yet."

Take the plate and in the contents of vegetables are also side dishes. After that, take it to the room with a glass of water.

Arriving at the room, put rice and glass on the table near the bed.

"Darling, wake up."

Bagas stroked slowly repeatedly the head of Rena. Rena who felt her sleep disturbed opened her eyes.

"Eat first."

Bagas helped Rena sit down. With half conscious Rena sitting. He was still gathering his consciousness by twitching his eyes a few times.

"Eat first."

Bagas takes a plate filled with food and then feeds Rena. Because feeling unwell Rena just obey and accept every bribe from Bagas. Finished eating Rena immediately put her body back down.

Seeing the state of his wife who is not healthy Bagas undo his intention to ask his wife. How he got home.

After returning the dishes and glasses from Rena's meal to the kitchen, Bagas changed his clothes and lay down next to Rena. He followed Rena to her dreamland.
