5 Years ago......
"Riani, if your hair is a little blond you'll be very similar to the star of Gucci's expensive bag advertisement which is the famous British model Cecilia Smith." dessy said as they were sitting together in front of Riani's house.
Riani laughs. "You could have."
"real. Here I show you the picture" said Dessy as she opened her phone and showed me a photo of an ad star and a photo of a model. "Cecilia Smith."
Riani looked at the photo of the beautiful woman. He was also surprised that there were women who almost looked like him. What is different is the color of their hair, the color of their eyes and their height. As Riani read the profile of the woman, she was surprised to see her height of 175cm. Of course very different from him which is only 162 cm.
"She's prettier, Des."
"If you make up like her, you can." said Dessy. "Your skin is also pure white."
Riani just laughed. "He's 8 years older than me. He must be a rich man, right?"
"Yes. Moreover, she is one of the models of the most famous model house in London, The Aslon."
"The clothes are cheap in Indonesia at 10 million, right?"
"Where can little people like us use it?"
Riani nodded. Once again he saw a picture of the beautiful woman. He is happy enough with himself now. Soon he will graduate from college and find a job. He will give a decent life to Arma and her parents.
Dessy saved her hp again. "When do we marry a rich man and change our lives? Married with a Caucasian may be the same. Like in the stories of romantic novels that we usually read."
"Don't imagine too high. Later fall ill. Indonesian guys are a lot of handsome, good and not arrogant."
Dessy laughing. "Where would Nikolas Saputra like us-we would...."
Riani laughed when she heard her friend mention the name of the movie star she liked so much. "Don't Nikolas, gordi mas aja."
"I don't want to be with him." Dessy immediately shook her head when her best friend mentioned the name of the 40-year-old widower who likes to chase after Dessy.
"Don't be in a hurry, Des. Lookatme. Falling in love half-dead with the handsome and rich Daniel. I hope he will be the first and last man in my life. But in reality, he left me and married his parents' choice. No matter who I am pregnant. That's why I want to concentrate on my school. I shut myself in on all the guys on campus who approached me. Arma is my top priority."
"You're a good man, Ni. God will send good people for you. Who knows the bule man."
"Cock bule anyway?"
"I like bule."
The two laughed together.
**********
Riani returns from her past daydreams. His eyes looked back at the photo. This woman must be Cecilia Smith. Or is it just someone whose face looks similar? Is Jack chasing me just because our faces are similar?
All day Riani can't work well. He even had to make his cake twice because the first one was a bit charred.
After preparing dinner, Riani immediately took a shower. He wander under the shower thinking about the photos he saw in the barn.
After bathing and getting dressed, Riani checked her phone. Jack has read. He even sent me beautiful words.
Today I don't concentrate on work always thinking about you baby. Hope you are not lonely?
Riani's heart trembled. Should he doubt Jack's love for her if Jack's attention is like this?
Shortly thereafter, the sound of the car was heard outside the house. Riani smiled. That was Jack. She opened the door and welcomed her husband home.
"Honey....!" Jack hugged his wife,. "I Miss you."
Riani just smiled. The two kissed each other and entered the house hand in hand.
"It seems like a good cooking smell" said Jack when the two had entered the house.
"I cook. But don't know if it suits your taste."
"Definitely delicious. It smells good" said Jack.
Riani prepares the cutlery while Jack washes his hands.
"Last afternoon I ate a piece of bread. That's why I'm so hungry now."
"Buble and squek?" Jack asked when he saw his wife serving typical British food.
"I don't know if it feels as good as it's made by people here. But that's the spice and the way to make it that I see on the internet."
Jack tried. "Well, this is good, baby."
"Really?"
"Where could I lie? I'm gonna eat a lot right now."
Jack enjoyed the fish soup that his wife made and then continued with the main menu. After that, he ate the cake that Riani made.
Riani still eat rice because her stomach is not used to eating only bread and potatoes.
Dinner took place romantically because Jack occasionally fed Riani even though his wife had said that she did not want to.
"Darling, thank you for this great dinner." Jack kissed his wife's cheek. "Let me wash it."
"Don't. You are tired of working all day. I just stayed home."
"But you're tired of cooking too."
Riani smiled. "Just cook, baby. What's tired?"
"I'm going to clean up first."
"Do you want to make coffee?"
"Without sugar" said Jack and headed straight to the room.
Riani quickly washed the dishes and heated the water. Jack likes coffee brewed with just boiling water.
He also made a glass of tea for her and immediately took her to the living room.
While blaming the TV, Riani also enjoyed her tea.
Soon Jack finished his bath and was already wearing home trousers and long-sleeved shirts.
He sat next to Riani and placed his hand on her shoulder. "What have you been doing all day, baby?"
"I just went to the store, went home, made cookies and cooked. That'sthat's all. Tomorrow I plan to see the flower garden. Can I take care of the flower garden?"
"This is your house, baby. As the hostess, you can do anything. Including doing anything to me."
Riani glanced at her husband while holding back a smile. "meaning?"
"Do you want to be practical?"
Riani laughs. "The coffee will be cold, dear."
Jack kissed his wife's cheek in a fit of rage. "I'm happy."
"Why?"
"Because of falling in love. Try it since we've met ya, will definitely be more fun."
"Maybe if we had met three years earlier, I wouldn't have fallen in love with you. Because I was so heartbroken. It was a long time ago that I was able to move on from Daniel."
Jack pulled Riani to sit on his lap. "Now it's just me and you. Leave the past behind. Don't ever bring it up again because I don't want to remember the past at all"
"Honey, when I got home from the store, Bob drove me."
"Bob who's a cop?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"He is a resident of this village as well."
"He said the house has changed a lot. Did you sleep here a little?"
"Yes. I sleep in the company mess sometimes. Coming home was quiet too. Unless there's Cassie, then I'm back here. Cassie comes home faithful once every 2 weeks. He came home this Friday. I need you to pick him up to surprise him."
"of course. Oh, baby, Cassie's mom's picture isn't here?"
Jack smiled. "Later when Cassie comes, we'll make a pilgrimage to Cassie's mother's grave. The picture I have been taking away for a long time. So Cassie won't always be sad. Like I said, I don't want to remember the past."
Riani chose not to ask. She does not want to mess with her husband's past. Let everything be buried with their past. Maybe it wasn't Cecilia Smith. Just like that famous model.
**************
Jack was asleep next to her. Riani wasn't sleepy at all even though they made love long enough tonight.
Slowly he picked up his phone and typed Cecilia Smith's name in the search field. And all the articles that relate to that world-class model. Very beautiful, graceful and charming woman.
Cecilia Smith is a 34-year-old and unmarried model. She remains the most expensive model even though she is not young anymore.
Riani smiled. Apparently, many women whose faces look alike? How could Jack possibly have a relationship with such a rich and wonderful woman?
***********
Curious right?
Mother who wants to plot each episode is increasingly made a lot of mystery...
I am writing it.....
Healthy greetings everyone?
Is there a connection between Cecilia Smith and Jack's past?
