Wife's Resilience

KHI 91'S

"Sorry dear." said Bagas after he got home.

Bagas hugged Rena's neck from behind. He put it on his wife's shoulder. While Rena's eyes still looked at the television.

"Mas, better clean the body first there" said Rena.

"You're angry, baby. Sorry about that,,,,"

"I'm not angry. Better mas bath first." said Rena cut the words Bagas.

Rena smiled and kissed Bagas' hand.

"alright sweetheart. I take a shower." said Bagas, kissing Rena's hair.

Rena looked at Bagas who was walking towards the room. The smile he just showed Bagas instantly faded. There was only the expressionless look Rena showed on her face.

Rena's eyes looked at the television. But not with his mind. I don't know what Rena is thinking right now. Only he knows.

At night, he still behaved normally to Bagas. Even his smile always expands on his lips.

The next day when Bagas was working, Rena went out of the house to go somewhere.

"Mommy, if Bagas asks, say that I'm resting in the room" said Rena.

"Where's Rena going?" ask mak Irah.

It looks like Rena uses a short-sleeved shirt with a leather jacket on the outside combined with black jeans.

"I just want to get some fresh air. I'm too tired." said Rena.

Rena used Bagas' motor to get out.

"Where is Rena going? Do I need to tell my sister Lina. Well, how is this." murmured Irah's mother.

"If Rena's going out a long time ago, I'll tell Lina. Better now I let it go." Inwardly mak Irah.

Rena rode her motorcycle towards Intan's house. In front of the mansion, Rena stopped her motorcycle without opening her helmet. He saw the house from outside the fence.

Someone got out of the car from the house. Rena immediately rushed forward his motorbike. From behind the rearview mirror of his motorbike, Rena can see the car driving in the opposite direction to him.

Rena turned around and followed where the car had gone. The car stopped in front of a store selling men's clothing. A woman got out of the car and went inside.

"Intan." muttered Rena by still sitting on her motorcycle without taking off the helmet she was wearing.

Not long after that Intan came out of the store with a paper bag in his hand and got into the car. Rena parked her motorcycle in front of the store after making sure Intan left the store.

Rena went inside, and pretended to look for clothes.

"Sorry, may I ask?" rena said politely to the store employees.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Is the shirt he took his mbak still in stock?" ask Rena.

"I mean the one that just came out. If there are still I want to see other sizes mbak." added Rena.

"Okay, come with me."

The store employee showed Rena a black shirt.

"What brand is the same as that taken earlier. You see, said mbaknya earlier, the brand that is cloth and stitching is good." said Rena looking for an excuse.

"Ee,, yes. Same mbak. The mama also took this brand's black shirt."

"Once I take this" said Rena.

"His size?"

"This is it" said Rena after seeing the size of her shirt.

"Emmm,, the ma'am had also taken this size" explained the store employee with a smile.

Rena just smiled in response to the words of the store employee. Finished buying it, Rena rushed home.

"Mbak Rena." greet mak Irah.

Rena smiled as she looked at Mak Irah and entered the room. He put the new shirt he bought on the nightstand.

Rena threw her body on the bed. It looks like Rena is tired, not just physically. But also his mind. Rena closed her eyes to calm her mind.

There was a sound from Rena's phone ringing. Rena opened her eyes and saw who called her.

DONNA

Rena thought of Tio. He immediately got up and sat down. Very visible on the face of Rena the fear is still there. Rena was silent for a moment and came out of the room.

Rena headed for the kitchen and drank two glasses of water at once. He sat in the dining room while playing an empty glass with his hands.

"Why Rena's mother." murmured mak Irah was worried about her employer.

"Sir, must be very happy to be able to give offspring to our partner. Surely the husband will love his wife more if he can give her a child. Women like them, never feel fear. Fear if you leave your partner." said Rena with eyes that have been flooded with water.

"Mr Rena, it's not like that. Every household has problems. Rena's mother should not think like that." said mak Irah trying to make Rena calm.

Rena's shoulders are shaking. The cry that he had been holding back from earlier, he finally could not hide anymore.

"Mak Rena."

Rena hugged Mak Irah's body tightly. Seeing Rena like this, making Mak Irah also let out tears.

"Mommy, Rena's scared. Rena was afraid that there was another woman in Bagas' heart. Rena is afraid that Bagas will leave Rena." said Rena slowly in her tears.

Mak Irah did not answer Rena's words. Mak Irah herself is confused. What should he say to Rena.

While Intan bravely came to the office of Bagas workplace. He left the shirt that was to be given to Bagas on the security guard.

"Mas Bagas, there is a deposit for Bagas mas." said the security guard approached Bagas who was about to get into the car to go home.

"Who are you, sir?" tanya Bagas wonder.

"Beautiful woman mas, still young." said the security guard lirih.

"Thank you sir" said Bagas.

In the car, Bagas opened the paper bag. It turned out to be a black shirt.

Bagas picked up and read a piece of greeting card in it.

THANKS DARLING, HAVE HELPED ME 😘😘

"Definitely Intan." Inner Bagas while squeezing the greeting card and throwing it out of the side glass of the car.

"Mas, it's home" said Rena welcoming the arrival of Bagas.

"How, does the wound still hurt?" ask Bagas.

"No." answered Rena.

"Bath bath there gih, smell. I have my clothes ready" said Rena.

"OKAY. Thank you." said Bagas in tandem with a kiss to Rena's cheek.

"Honey. Tomorrow the day after tomorrow you can accompany the mas to the office anniversary." pinta Bagas.

"Maybe, Rena is healed" said Rena.

Rena's smile disappeared as Bagas turned around and walked towards the room. Sitting on the sofa in front of the television. He sat leaning back while closing his eyes by massaging his forehead.

After taking a bath, Bagas wanted to wear clothes that had been prepared by Rena. How surprised, when he saw the clothes.

"This shirt, why is it the same." murmured Bagas.

Bagas like doubt when going to wear it. But he had no choice. He did not want to get questions from Rena when she did not want to wear the shirt.

"Mas like his shirt?" asked Rena as soon as she opened the room door.

"Like" replied Bagas while buttoning the shirt he had worn.

"This is what I just bought. I liked. So I bought it for the mas. Fortunately, I also like it." said Rena with a smile on her lips.

"What's wrong?" ask Bagas to Rena.

Bagas realized that Rena was watching him.

"My husband's handsome. I'm lucky to have a husband like you. There are a lot of women out there who like it the same. Aye? But I am grateful, a loyal man" said Rena while sticking his hands on the chest of Bagas.

"Although until now, I have not been able to give children to mas. But my husband remains faithful beside me." said Rena by turning her hand to Bagas' neck.

Rena kept looking at Bagas' face intensely. She wanted to know the change in her husband's face.

And Rena's guess was right, Bagas let go of Rena's hand that was coiled around her neck and immediately turned away from Rena's gaze.
