"Honey, I was at the pastry shop, I met one of the villa owners here. His name is Clark."
Jack who had just finished changing clothes was shocked when he heard Clark's name.
"Clark Hudzon?"
"I don't know his last name. Because he just said his name was Clark."
"definitely her. Who else named Clark here." Jack said shrewdly. He then looked at his wife who was rubbing the handbody in her hand. "She said anything?"
"Say he lived in Surabaya. He can even speak Indonesian very fluently. He said he missed Indonesian food. Tomorrow he will go to an Asian store and buy me groceries so I can cook. Can you, baby?"
"Can. He's my friend." Fuck you, Clark! What do you mean by approaching my wife like this? Jack in the Heart.
"Why didn't you invite her to your birthday party?"
"Because Clark is a very busy man, baby. I was quite surprised to hear that he had time to buy groceries at an Asian store."
"Maybe it's because she's already miss Indonesian cuisine."
Jack smiled knot. You don't know who Clark is yet, baby. But I swear, if he dares to approach you with other intentions, I will not hesitate to finish him.
Riani was done with the night ritual. "I'm going to sleep. It's so sleepy."
Jack approached his wife, hugging her very tightly while kissing Riani's shoulder very gently. "Sleep. I still have a little job in the study. I'll be sleeping in 1 hour."
Riani nodded. He immediately went up to the bed and immediately struggled spoiled with a thick blanket. Jack turned off the headlights before leaving the room.
Once in his study, Jack immediately contacted Clark.
"I thought you'd call me when you found out I wanted to come to your house tomorrow. You're evil, Jack. Married such a beautiful woman but hidden. You didn't even invite me." Clark's laugh came from there.
"Sway my wife, asshole! I don't want you around."
"You're afraid he's interested in me like the story of the past?"
"Riani's not a woman!"
"Then you don't have to be afraid if I'm close to her."
Jack immediately disconnected the phone with annoyance. He sat down at his desk clenching his hands. His heart ached to remember what happened 14 years ago. The true story he really wanted to forget but it still continues to shadow him.
When Jack finished working on something with his laptop, he went to his room. In his view Riani who had fallen asleep. Jack kissed his wife's cheek, making Riani open her eyes.
"I'm sorry I woke you up." Said Jack while stroking Riani's cheek.
The woman smiled. She then shifted her sleeping position in the middle and pulled Jack's hand and asked her husband to lie down. After that Riani wrapped her hand on Jack's arm and leaned her cheek on the sturdy arm and closed her eyes. Jack closed his eyes. For some reason, he always felt at peace while sleeping in Riani's arms like this.

The next day, Riani returned to work. The cake shop visitors seem to be increasing a lot.
"You brought hockey to our shop. In the history of cake sales, only this time it is still 11 noon, we have almost run out of stock of cakes and bread" Elisa told Riani.
"really? Then let's do it again." said Riani excitedly.
"Do you know how to make cakes?" ask John.
" yes. Cake from Indonesia. It just so happened that my mother was the one who used to take cake orders from the people who were in my village."
"Let's go to the kitchen and see what you've got." take Elisa.
For 1 hour more, Riani tried to make chocolate cake according to her mother's simple recipe. When the cake was ripe, and Elisha tried it, she immediately nodded in agreement and immediately brought the cake to her husband and finally John agreed after feeling the cake. Be that cake in pieces. Initially buyers were a bit hesitant to buy it because of its simple shape. But when John let them try it, they immediately bought it.
That day Riani made ten balls of chocolate cake and it was all gone.
"This is a bonus for you!" elisa said at 2 pm and all the cakes in the cake shop were up.
"Well, thank you!" Riani was very happy to receive the money.
"Tomorrow, make another chocolate cake" said John.
"alright. So now I can go home?"
Elisha nodded. Riani immediately opened her apron and prepared to go home. To his surprise, Clark's car was already there.
"Clark?"
"You're home yet?" ask Clark and get out of his car.
"Well, that means you can come with me to the Asian store for shopping. The plan was to come here for Mr. John's permission by taking you to the store."
Riani looked at her watch.
"Riani, we'll be back before Jack gets home from work."
"But I called my husband first?"
Riani pulled out her phone. He called Jack. Her husband's phone was inactive. Riani sends a message to inform her that she went to the store with Clark because she was allowed to go home sooner than the cake shop.
Along the way to the Asian store, Clark told about his story during his time in Surabaya. Riani was delighted to be able to recall her beloved city.
Finally, after almost 30 minutes, they arrived at a shopping center that also has Asian stores.
"Has this entered downtown Manchester?" riani asked as they got out of the car.
"Yet. It's still about 10 minutes away and we'll be in downtown Manchester."
Riani also noticed this shopping center. Many shops lined up. Until finally he saw a picture in front of a store that sells sports equipment. Picture of a man holding a surfboard. Riani felt that the man looked like Jack. Then he shook his head while smiling. Did I miss my husband to the point of thinking that all the pictures of men here look like him?
"What's wrong?" clark asked to see Riani shake her head.
"No." Riani tried to smile and then they went inside.
Riani was immediately happy to see some of the food ingredients available. It takes years of tempeh, some spices, instant noodles chicken soto flavor, meatball flavor. Not forgetting Riani took the rice.
"There's a salted fish?" Riani cheered happily.
Clark smiled to see how much Riani had fun.
"How long have you been here so happy to see all this?" ask Clark.
"Almost 2 weeks."
"It's only been 2 weeks and it's been this late? Just imagine me not eating Indonesian food for years."
Riani looked at Clark. "You have to go back to Indonesia and spend your time there specifically for culinary tourism."
"Just tell me that you want to go back to Surabaya. I'll go with you."
"Can."
After finishing shopping and arriving at the cashier, Riani opened her wallet to pay for all the groceries. But Clark quickly thrust out his card.
"I'm the one who paid for it because I'm definitely going to eat a lot" Clark said as Riani protested over Clark's paying for the groceries.
They also returned home. And how surprised Riani when she saw that Jack's car was parked in front of the house. At this time it is only 4 hours past 10 minutes.
"Darling, are you home?" riani asked as Jack opened the door for them.
Jack and Clark looked at each other sharply. But when Riani saw them, Jack and Clark instantly smiled.
"Riani, can I help you cook?" clark said in Indonesian makes Jack upset because he does not understand.
"Can." Riani replied in Indonesian.
Jack tries to be normal despite the fact that he is eager to drive Clark out of his house.
"Darling, I saw one of the pictures at the sporting goods store. I feel that the man in the picture is a bit like you." Riani said as she washed the vegetables and Jack helped her.
"Your husband is indeed somewhat similar to a sports star" Clark said, making Jack glance at him with a murderous look.
Apparently it was seen by Riani. "Darling, how do you look at Clark like that?" ask Riani. "You're good friends."
Clark smiled at Riani. "Friend, can you get me some wine?"
Jack held the crap in his heart but he had to because Riani was among them. Jack felt the need to speak privately with Clark so that the man did not disturb his calm with Riani.
