Wife's Resilience

KHI 48'S

In the morning, as usual, Irah was in the kitchen. She doesn't know if Rena left home from last night. Because when Bagas and Rena quarreled, Irah was in the back room. So he didn't hear it.

"Tumben, Mbak Rena hasn't woken up yet."

A wall clock stuck to the kitchen wall. The current hour shows at half six in the morning.

Inside the room, Bagas blinked his eyes. After being fully conscious from her sleep she stepped away to the bathroom.

While in the bathroom, she heard the sound of Rena's cell phone ringing.

"Rena."

Bagas like it dawned if he had a fight with his wife last night. Soon he came out of the room to the kitchen. He ignored Rena's phone that kept ringing.

"Mom, you're awake."

"Mas Bagas's. From this moment I woke up. Yes, I'm not feeling well. Tumben hasn't nyamperin mak in the kitchen."

Bagas did not answer Mak Irah's question. He turned his body and walked towards the room.

"His phone is at home."

Then Bagas walked towards the table, where usually Rena put her wallet.

"The wallet is there too."

Bagas opened the desk drawer where Rena kept her purse.

"Gosh, where's Rena going. Yeah, well, last night he slept where. If she went to mom's house, they would've called me. Maybe she went to Dona's house."

Bagas opened his wife's cell phone. There is a message from Dona asking when Rena will return to work. And there were also some missed calls from Dona.

"That means Rena's not with Dona."

Bagas sat on the bed. He was immediately anxious because he did not know his wife's current condition.

"Aaaaa,, why am I like this. If only last night I wasn't selfish."

Bagas grabbed his own hair. He grabbed the car keys to look for Rena.

"Where is Bagas going?"

Ask mak Irah, because it looks like Bagas is walking in a hurry.

"You're looking for Rena."

Bagas only answered briefly and immediately left mak Irah who was still confused.

"Find me Rena. Where did Rena go. Actually, what's the matter." murmured Irah when Bagas had gone from before him.

Bagas drove the car slowly. His eyes are on the right and left. I wish I could find Rena.

"Yes, it's cold."

Rena was still lying on the bed in a curled position. Body's hot. Maybe because he just recovered from illness, plus last night rain for quite a long time.

Especially now that he doesn't wear a blanket. The knock of the door from the outside made Rena wake up from her sleep and open the door.

"Sorry ma'am, I haven't left this place."

Rena spoke up immediately after opening the door. Because right now my mother is standing at the door of her room. She feels bad. He said last night that he would only stay one night.

"You're sick."

Mother Kos put her palm on Rena's forehead.

"You're hot."

"Maybe because I was raining last night ma'am. I'll be out of here soon, Mom. Thank you for lending me a shirt."

"You better be here first. If you're gonna have it you've just left."

"But ma'am, I don't have any money."

"It's okay. Besides the earrings you gave me last night I sold. The price is quite expensive. You can sleep here until your body is healthy."

"Thank you ma'am."

Mother boarding left Rena. Rena went back into the room, she picked up clothes that were wet last night with rain. He took her to the bathroom to wash.

In the bathroom, a woman was also washing. Rena ventured to ask for a little laundry soap. Fortunately Rena was allowed to take her laundry soap.

After she finished drying her clothes, Rena returned to the room. He was about to break down. But had not had time to lie down, the door of the room was knocked back from the outside.

Rena stood up and opened the door.

"This is what you wear. And here you eat. There is medicine in it. Don't forget to drink"

Mother kos just nodded and left Rena's room. Rena went in and immediately ate the rice wrap that was given by the mother. And take the medicine.

"It turns out good is also his boarding mother. Even though it looks bad."

Rena broke down her body and put on the blanket given by the boarding mother just now. As she closed her eyes, Rena remembered Bagas.

"What are you doing, are you looking for me right now."

Rena's tears were dripping down her cheeks. Rena also fell asleep because of the effects of the medicine she drank earlier. Even the tears on her cheeks were still there.

*****

Bagas was banging his car's driver. He had been circling for quite a while, and asked some people by showing a picture of Rena. But no one has ever seen Rena.

Bagas's phone is ringing.

LEON

"Hello, what's up Yon?"

"Sorry, I didn't go to work today. Please allow it. There's family business."

Bagas hung up. He wants to find Rena. If he works, he will not focus. Leon has already entered work. So he can take the no-entry permit for today.

In the office Leon snorted in annoyance, because Bagas turned off the phone from him. Leon still wants to talk to her.

"Why do you, ranting" said Mira.

"Bagas, suddenly turned off his phone. I want to ask."

"Oh yeah, he hasn't come yet" asked Mira.

"Today he did not enter. He said there's family business."

Galih just listened to Leon and Mira chat.

"Isti lo is still at her parents' house?"

"Yes, she said she can't take care of the baby alone. I've been giving advice to find a baby sister."

"Other pity. In my own home. Feels like a widower."

"Damn."

Leon hits Mira in the head using the paper he is holding. Mira just laughed giggling.

While in the car Bagas looked desperately looking for Rena. He took his cell phone and called his home phone. He asked Mak Irah, if Rena has come home yet.

"So Rena hasn't come home yet. Yes, where are you, baby. Why didn't I stop him last night."

Bagas rests his head on the car's steering wheel. Bagas drove his car again. He went around looking for Rena until noon. But still the result is nil.

Bagas felt his stomach hungry. He stopped his car in front of the shop. Then enter the stall to fill his stomach.

When he put a spoonful of rice in his mouth, he remembered his wife.

"He didn't bring any money. Then what did he eat. Sleep where."

Bagas ate his food only a little. His stomach is hungry. But she couldn't afford to eat, she always remembered Rena.

"Maybe he went home to his parents. But it's impossible. He didn't bring any money."

Bagas immediately drove his car to his parents' house. He drives fast.

"I have to ask for help. It's up to them to scold me. The most important thing is that Rena is soon found."

Bagas decided to tell his parents. He was confused and anxious. He's afraid if Rena's okay. Moreover, Rena does not carry a mobile phone. Not even a penny of money he took it.

Arriving at his parents' house, Bagas immediately entered without saying hello.

"Lo, Mas Bagas didn't go to work."

Lina who was cleaning the house saw Bagas walking towards her. Bu Anis who was holding a bell turned to look at Bagas.

"You are here, enter the house does not say hello." said Anis.

"Why?"

Lina approached Bagas and Anis's mother. He saw the look on Bagas' face that looked anxious and confused.

"Rena's gone from the house."

Bagas sat his boko** on the sofa. Intan who heard him walked over.
