Young Widow Pursued Om Bule

Expecting Honesty

Jack opened the door. At her sight Riani was standing while staring out the glass window. He approached and hugged his wife from behind. "Darling.....!" whispered Jack then kissed Riani's neck.

"Sam's home yet?" asked Riani then slowly turned her body.

"Yes." Yeah."

"So he said there's an important document you need to sign. What'sthat?"

"My cutletter."

"Prieve leave?"

"The company gives its employees a holiday from December 24 to December 26. After that we enter again and later on holiday on December 31 and then enter again on January 3. And I'm asking for leave from the 27th to the 3rd."

Riani smiled. "So important to you that Sam's looking for you?"

"Sam is indeed a concern for all his employees." Jack stroked Riani's cheek. "Oh yeah, how's the dress? You likey?"

"very liked. That's an expensive dress, right? Just make it from The Aslon."

"There's no expensive word for the woman I love." Jack took Riani into his arms. He then kissed the top of his wife's head very gently. "I'm hungry. We're eating, yuk!"

"Come on!"

Hand in hand, the two of them left the room. Actually eager for Riani's mouth to ask about what she just read on the Internet. I don't know why he held it for a while.

"Honey, when it's Christmas, where do you and Cassie usually go?" riani asked as the two of them while enjoying lunch.

"Morning usually to church, after that gather at home, enjoy the cake and food that is actually not too good because it is only ordered."

"Oh so yeah. There's no tradition of visiting each other's houses?"

"My brother is one. That too abroad. Usually me and Juliana just so Videocall to give merry Christmas."

"There is no special celebration in this village?"

Jack took a sip of water and answered his wife's question."Usually here, before the winter stops, a flower festival will be held. Many tourists came. And thanks to Christmas and the new year."

"Honey, Cassie's school is an expensive school, huh? I read on the internet that it's one of the most expensive schools in the UK. Usually, the school there are children of conglomerates, nobles and children of famous people such as children of famous artists, models or athletes. Don't you feel hard paying for Cassie's school. He's going to the dorm."

Jack smiled. "Everything I can handle with my work. I want to give Cassie the best education."

Riani tried to make sense. How she could make her husband confess. "Darling, can't I after the holidays are over, I'm working again?"

Jack released his hand that was wrapped around his wife's waist.

"No, honey. You can't work anymore."

"I'll work somewhere else. I'm gonna help with our family's income."

"I told you that my salary is enough to finance the lives of the three of us. Why not just at home. Now you have a job. Every day Mr. John comes to pick up your cake. That's more than enough. What if Daniel finds you again?"

"A.. I just want to get more money so I can go back to Surabaya and see Arma."

Jack looked at his wife with a frown. "You want to go home?"'

"Eh..., i.....!" Riani was confused. Actually he did not want to go home even though he missed Arma. He just wants Jack to be open with his life.

Jack held both of his wife's shoulders. "Honey, you don't need to work to get back to Surabaya. I will definitely provide all your needs. Trust me." Jack hugged Riani and kissed the top of his wife's head. Riani was silent in her husband's arms.

Christmas is finally over with a fun family event. Clark himself came on his second Christmas. Although Jack still seems to like Clark, but the man can make Cassie happy with his presence.

Cassie returns to the dorm and Jack returns to work. Riani felt lonely again. Although every day he still makes cakes and delivered to the cake shop owned by Mr. John but he still feels lonely. Especially with the existence of Jack who still hides his identity.

Sometimes, if the house is deserted, Riani re-read Jack's profile on the internet. He still couldn't believe what he was reading.

Jack Everdin Almond is his full name. Is an English surfer athlete who has won various national and international level matches. He is also the model of several advertising-related sports equipment and CEO of 2 major companies in Manchester. One is a cosmetic company with a brand that has gone global.

In addition to processing 2 large companies, Jack has several branches of stores related to beauty products and sports equipment. There are also pictures of some luxury cars that Jack has.

Then, why did Jack appear modest as a good regular employee of a pick up car? Why would Jack choose to live in this village with an atmosphere far from our frenetic big like London or Manchester?

This question always haunts Riani's mind. Whenever they enjoyed the intimacy of the two, Riani wanted to ask the same question. But his mouth seemed to be unable to bring out all the questions in his brain.

That is why today, Riani chose to go to an Asian store to keep herself busy and no longer think about the questions about Jack's life that are still hidden from her.

Today the sun seems to shine bright even though the snow piles are still there and have not melted.

Riani tied up her long hair and used a boat shoe and a thick coat.

Jack gave him a good amount of cash last night. Not in the form of cards like those commonly used by those at the top social level as Riani knows about Jack.

As soon as Riani got off the taxi, she stepped foot into a sports shop she had seen with a poster of Jack. Unfortunately, the poster no longer exists. Riani also chose to take a short walk in the shopping center before she finally bought some groceries. How happy Riani when she saw there is instant noodles which is one of the famous brands in Indonesia. The woman had imagined she would eat the noodles while putting a lot of chilli.

Just as he had just walked out of the store, Riani passed a woman whose face was like a stranger in Riani's memory. The two looked at each other. Riani tried to smile. But the woman did not return Riani's smile at all. She looked at Riani with her eyebrows raised next to her. And before Riani stepped past him, Riani heard the voice of the woman.

"Basic lakor!"

Riani's steps stopped. He thought the woman was Asian. Or maybe a stucco.

"What do you mean?" asked Riani while turning her body.

The woman who dressed up like a classy woman looked at Riani.

"Don't bring the custom from the village to the big city like this. You think by coming here, you can take Daniel from my side? You're wrong, you son of a bitch!"

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Riani asked as she kept remembering who that woman was. Until he finally remembered something.

"Goddess?"

The goddess smiled with a condescending look. "You finally know who I am."

"It's a big mistake if you think I'm going to disrupt your relationship with Daniel. I'm married."

"Have married?" The goddess looked at Riani's simple-looking makeup.

"What do you like about a village woman like yourself?"

"Don't insult me, Goddess."

"You deserve to be insulted because now you're trying to annoy my husband!" The goddess started to shout out in a loud voice.

'Goddess, Enough!"

The Goddess and Riani both turned their heads. There's Clark standing there.
