Wife's Resilience

KHI 43'S

tock, tock, tock, tock,,

Lina knocked on Intan's room door.

"Tan, this is your seat." shouted Lina from outside Intan's room.

Actually, Lina was out of the house to buy food. He wants to eat meatballs. While Intan minitip meatballs also to him.

"Yes.." Intan opened the door to her room.

They ate together in the dining room.

"Same mom Tan hasn't come home yet?"

"Not yet."

"Why you?" ask Lina to Intan.

Because Lina saw the look on Intan's face looked different from when she left earlier.

"No why. Yes, I want to sleep first. My leg hurts a little."

"Ooo, yes, yes. You better rest first. Let the bowl be washed."

"Sorry troublesome. Thank you, yeah."

Intan left the dining room. Lina was enjoying the meatballs she had just bought.

"Old father same mother went. Cold hunt the meat later."

Intan eats while nagging. Because he bought meatballs for his parents. He thought they were home.

"What's the situation is better."

Angga was inside his study. He was sitting with his cell phone. The name RENA was on her phone screen.

I don't know why it's in Angga's mind about Rena. There is a feeling between being curious and worrying about Rena.

" Fuck, why lately I've been thinking about people's wives. Totally bonkers. She is not very pretty either."

" But he's attractive, smart and also..."

Angga did not continue his words. He had never been interested in women before. Usually women who pursue themselves.

Put the phone on the desk. Angga leaned his body on his chair. His head is shuffled with his face up.

The phone he had just put on the middle table rang.

DONNA

Put the phone back. There was no interest in Angga picking up the phone from Dona. Angga let his phone keep ringing. Until finally the phone stopped.

A few minutes later, his phone rang again. But Angga did not see it. He thinks it was Dona who called him back. And Angga's guess is correct.

The door of Angga's office space opened from the outside. The goose looked straight at the door.

"Why didn't you pick up the phone from Dona?"

Mama Angga immediately nagged as soon as she opened the door. But Angga just kept silent while staring at the mother.

" Angga, Dona called my mom. He's your nanyain. He said call you, but you didn't pick up."

"But you are busy."

"What a busy, mama see you just sit around." said mama Angga while folding to his two hands in front of his chest.

"Okay, all right."

The most lazy person faced his mother. Because he knew, he would lose if he argued with his mother.

Angga picked up his phone and called Dona. While his mother was still standing next to Angga's desk.

"What's up."

"OK."

Angga hung up.

"Geez, this is a kid. Why can't it be romantic. If this is how you're gonna make Dona love you."

Angga stood up and left his mother who was still nagging him.

"What ma, Angga wants to see Dona." Angga stopped when his mother called him.

"Ooo,, yes, dear. Please, send a greeting to Dona from mama ya."

Mama Angga approached her son and kissed him on two cheeks.

*****

Dona had been waiting for Angga's arrival at his boutique parking lot. The boutique is now empty. The shop closed about an hour ago.

As soon as Angga arrived at the parking lot Dona invited Angga into his room.

"What's wrong?"

Angga asked with his flat expression as soon as he got inside the boutique. Dona let Angga sit first.

"What are your decisions about this matchmaking."

"I told you from the beginning. S-se-rah you."

"Where you can, you should have an opinion too."

Dona spoke while standing up from her seat. There was a sense of annoyance towards Angga. Because from the beginning of their arranged marriage, Angga did not refuse or accept this match.

"You know, the person I love asks about the continuation of our relationship. If we cancel this match, he'll divorce his wife."

"If not."

Dona did not answer Angga's question.He was silent while standing back to Angga.

"If we don't cancel this match, what that means is that he won't divorce his wife. He will stay with his wife. You know what that means?"

Again Dona did not answer the question from Angga. His mind was like a mess hearing a question from Angga. While Angga sat down casually while playing the bottle of drink he was holding.

"That means, she doesn't really love you."

Angga was already behind Angga's body, his body was very close to Dona. But not touching. Both hands he put in his pants pocket.

The surprised Dona turned her body. So it almost hit the body of Angga. Angga's hand swiftly grabbed Dona's waist. If you look at them like hugging.

"Done, never take a chance."

Dona tries to escape from Angga's arms. But Angga's hand was too strong.

"Let's just be calm, from the beginning I was never interested in you, miss."

Said Angga beside Dona's ear. He let go of his hand that was around Dona's waist. Angga walked towards the exit.

"What do you mean?"

Rena's hand is blocked perfectly on Angga's wrist.

Angga did not reply, he just smiled lightly at Dona. With ease Angga turned Dona's hand, who was originally holding her now turned around. Angga's hand now holding Dona's hand.

"You don't need to know, because to me.." Angga paused his words. Then put his lips closer to Dona's ear.

"You're not important." Angga said in a flat but stressed tone.

"Aww."

Angga's hand was held in Dona's hand. So that Dona felt pain. He took off his hand, and Angga left Dona.

Dona put her foot back. There was a feeling of fear as Angga whispered a sentence beside his ear.

"RENNA..."

I don't know why Dona remembers her best friend. He recalled the time he saw Angga's treatment of Rena, when her best friend was sick. And also when Angga with Rena, Angga became a person who is ignorant and chatty. Though as far as Dona knows, Angga is a difficult person to approach. Especially being familiar with the opposite sex.

"Female is a notoriously cold man in the business world. But he was very smiling when wearing his doctor's suit. It is like having two persons. Don't let him like Rena. If true, Rena will have a hard time. This can't happen. Can't."

Dona sat on the sofa with her two palms covering her face.

"I have to do something, Angga should not disturb Rena's household. He had suffered enough all this time. Yeah, I have to do something. But what?"

"Let's Dona think."

Dona tapped his head slowly. He was really worried if his guess was correct.

SERIATE.
