BEING THE WIFE OF HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW
CHAPTER 26. WHERE ARE YOU, MAS?
That night the circular clock in Kian's hand showed at 9 o'clock exactly. But the girl still did not return home after her walk from this morning to the zoo with her husband. A walk that feels very pleasant and quite successful makes them closer. At least that's how the girl felt. Until finally appeared the figure of the destroyer atmosphere. Sapphira! That girl completely destroyed everything. Even because of the girl too, now she had to be trapped in a restaurant in front of the housing complex alone just to wait for her husband to come home.
- FLASHBACK
According to the agreement taken by Rama and Sapphira, the man finally allowed the lover to stay in his apartment. This time not forever, but only temporarily. Rama gave an excuse if now the grandfather always came to the apartment just to check the situation. And the woman just believed.
Before they drove into Rama's apartment, the man turned his vehicle to park in front of a romantic cafe they were driving through. Rama did it because Sapphira whined to eat there. The woman was interested in the romantic design presented by the cafe. And sure enough, when he arrived inside, it turned out that the place was really very perfect to be visited by two people who were in love.
The three of them sat at one of the tables there. Some of the dishes that have been ordered, are now available on the table and the appearance is really tempting. It was very different from the burgers he ordered at the restaurant near the zoo.
"Honey, try this," said Safira while offering a glass of cold drink which is his order to Rama.
Rama had not had time to receive the drink, quickly Kian's hand grabbed the man's face to face him and then feed his snacks to Rama.
"This magazine is also delicious," said Kian while putting a snack in the mouth of Rama. And it managed to make Safira a little uncomfortable and disturbed.
Rama realizes that what Kian did has made Safira uncomfortable. It was seen from the face of the lover who no longer painted a smile there.
"Darling, I'll go to the toilet first." Without waiting for an answer from Rama, Sapphira immediately went to the toilet.
He stared at the woman's departure with a faint smile. I don't know why but it feels good to be able to prevent these lovers from making out.
"Where's your phone?" said Rama who managed to make Kian look at him.
"What do you want?" ask Kian.
"Where's your phone?" rama said again but this time with a little emphasis. He gave his cell phone to the man.
Rama seemed to be typing something on Kian's phone for a while and he gave it back to the girl while talking.
"I ordered a taxi online for you. You go home first. I'll take Safira to the apartment. And one thing you have to do. Don't tell Grandpa if I meet Safira. Let alone telling grandfather that Safira lived in my apartment. Do you understand?" rama said firmly.
"But Mas…."
"Oh yes one more. I already paid for it so you're just sitting sweet."
"Mas, i…."
Rama raised his hand in front of Kian. And again it can make Kian silent without a word.
He looked at the husband who was standing after the woman. There was a sudden pain in his heart. Kian doesn't know why. What was clear was that the pain had already managed to make the water dots fall from the corner of his eyes. With a shaky step, he began to walk out of the cafe. A car that was an online taxi was already waiting in front. He climbed into the car and stared at the empty table.
Along the way he kept thinking what reason he would give Grandpa Bimo. If the reason went to the office, it seemed impossible because Grandpa Bimo could just check into the office. Moreover, this morning the grandson had said that he applied for permission not to enter work today.
Dizziness because they did not find a way out, Kian finally decided to wait for Rama to come home. He stopped before the car got into the housing where Bimo's grandfather's house was. He decided to go back into a restaurant there. It feels tired too because all day he has entered three restaurants. But how else. It's the only comfortable place to wait. But even though it was late, in fact Rama had not returned.
- FLASHBACK OFF
"Sorry, we have to close because it's late" said one of the waiters. He looked at the clock in his hand that had shown ten o'clock. The girl turned to the waiter and nodded.
More and more walk out followed by the waiters who began to clean up all the equipment in the restaurant. It's already night. And almost all the shops and restaurants around it have started to close. Confused, where will he wait for Rama?
Step by step that happens without purpose it actually brings Kian to a city park. The condition there is quite quiet and honestly a little scared. Not afraid of invisible creatures but afraid of criminals who could hurt him.
It paused for a moment, staring at the vastness of the garden that looked dark. There is only a little lighting that comes from some garden lights there. The night sky grew darker as rain began to fall. From a small drizzle to turning into a bit of a rush.
He ran towards the small gazebo next to the park. Her clothes were a little wet from the rain and it made Kian cold. Especially this morning when he left, he did not bring a jacket. He thought that his return wouldn't be this late.
He rubbed his hands together to create a warm feeling. Sometimes he looks at his phone. A message to the husband who said if he waited in the restaurant in front of the complex, in fact only read by the man. There is no reply, even if it is just one letter.
"Mas, where are you really? And what are you guys doing up to this late?" inner Kian.
Her tears fell again as she recalled the romantic scenes of Rama and Sapphira.
"Okay Kian why are you so sad because of Mas Rama with other women? Is he not a nobody to you? He's Lian's husband, your brother. But why does my heart ache when I see Mas Rama making out with another woman?" Kian continued to wipe his tears that did not stop breaking out.
"May I fall in love with Mas Rama?" muttered Kian lirih. Then he immediately shook his head, erasing the strange thought. How could he fall in love with his own sister-in-law?
He sent a message to Rama. He said he was waiting in the garden gazebo. Kian very much hoped that Rama would come and pick him up soon. Moreover, the rain fell increasingly heavy and is now accompanied by lightning and also lightning. He was scared and also cold.
