Arjuna's Wife (Limited Outreach)
CHAPTER 61b
Wife Arjuna 61b
On the living room couch of the Marina and Surya residence, five people were seen gathering there. Marina and Surya sat side by side on the long sofa. On the single sofa seat next to her, Maharani sits unsettled while occasionally biting her nails, while on the sofa directly opposite her, a male and female couple also sit there. The woman unceasingly stroked the arm of the man sitting side by side with her. It seems to be trying to calm down. None other than Juna and Anggi.
It's been an hour since they've gathered. Marina listens to two versions of the story about Anggi's fall in the restaurant. Be it from the side of Anggi told by Juna based on his wife's testimony supported by concrete evidence that has been obtained in the form of CCTV footage, also do not miss listening to the story of the Maharani Version.
The conversation went well. The reason is, Maharani still clings to his ego, reluctant to say sorry even though Marina and Surya continue to explain slowly that the actions of the Empress are completely wrong regardless of the reason. Even if impulsive actions are true, it is still dangerous, because his actions last time ended up hurting Anggi and her baby as well as her own biological sister.
“Juna just wants you to apologize, Rani. Just a small request your sister wants. In this case Mami will not reject or defend, you are wrong. Rani, apologizing does not make you inferior or despicable, just by venturing to apologize for all the khilaf, will make our hearts become calmer, he said, also, at least it can slightly expand the hearts of people who have been hurt by the things we do.” Marina clasped the hand of her eldest daughter, not tired of giving understanding many times.
“Mbak, I just want Mbak to apologize to Anggi, not me. Also try introspection, do not continue to crave emotions. Let alone accusing and envying Anggi who is not-no. Jealousy is indeed a sign of love, but it would be wise if the taste that is considered as the spice of love and marriage is placed in the right place and should be, he said, not just based on one-sided prejudice without any valid evidence,” said Juna who emphasized each of his words.
Juna began to run out of patience, eroded little by little but certainly the impact of the Empress who was even hardened. Not admitting wrong, even more apologizing.
“Sabar, Mass. We are here to solve the problem with Mbak rani, not to fight.”
Anggi whispered softly soothingly as she saw Juna's jaw begin to tighten. She did not move or shift an inch from near Juna, continuing to stroke her husband's arm in a gentle, regular motion, worried that the man's anger beside her exploded and erupted again.
To be honest, in the little heart of the Empress, guilt is disturbing. After watching Anggi fall and be rushed to the hospital also after the incident of throwing a glass, his grief became increasingly. He was also surprised to be worried about the condition of his brother-in-law and his sister who ended up injured by it, only it was all covered by fear. The fear of being knocked out if his family knows the things he has been hiding close all this time.
“Rani, we are not judgmental. We're your family, son. Juna and Anggi are your sisters and Mami and Papi are your parents. Papi has been very clear also understand your statement stating that accidentally pushed Anggi due to emotional ignition. But still, sorry it has to be, son. Judging from any side, your actions remain unjustified. Lucky only your sister as well as your sister-in-law experienced your impulsive actions. If against others, an apology alone will not be enough, you can be dragged into the legal path for endangering others.” Surya now joined the sound, began to be irritated and exhausted patience to see the eldest did not also soften.
“Didn't Papi himself say we are family, should something like this be ignored, why continue to be discussed!”
Amidst the situation that was starting to heat up again, the sound of foot-stroke distracted them. Barata who suddenly appeared in the living room, entered without saying hello or excuse, stepped closer.
“Mas, instead of going to the office? How come back again?” tanya Maharani did not understand.
The arena of fighting stopped. Barata gathered himself before his wife to astonish everyone. Grabbing both hands of Maharani with wet shiny eyeballs.
"Rani, why have you been holding it yourself all this time? Why not share with me, with your husband? " asked Barata softly with an envelope in hand. Maharani rounded his eyes, recognizing what paper Barata was holding.
Seriate.
