For Lust
Chapter 8's

Rega completely forgot that he had to go home soon. His family is waiting, especially the rose. The wife had been sitting in the living room, waiting for her return. Although his eyes were already sleepy but Rose still insisted on waiting for Rega.

Marja and Kulsum entered the room an hour ago. Even Helena has returned from her show. The woman is now watching TV, laughing quite loudly when the event that took place she thought was very funny.

"the baby, the melanin sounds. Mom and Dad are asleep." Tegur Roses, he was disturbed how about his sleeping in-laws.

Helena just rolled her eyes lazily, she didn't care about Roses at all. Still laughing out loud.

It's been almost 9 p.m., Rose is getting restless in her seat. He couldn't stay still because he was worried about Rega. Approaching Helena who was sitting down.

"sir, why hasn't Rega come home yet? I'm worried about this." He expressed his concern.

Helena turned down the volume of the TV. Hearing his sister's name called to make the woman immediately turn to the direction of the Rose.

"have you called her number?" Ask Helena.

"it's mbak, but not active, even though this afternoon is still active."

Helena was also worried. He picked up his cell phone lying on the carpet.

"i'll call Bayu, he's Rega's office friend."

The rose silently watched Helena who was talking to Bayu. Before long, just asking about Rega. His sister-in-law seemed to be breathing rough making the Rose become more anxious.

"why mbak? mas Rega's still in the office?" Ask with fear.

Helena shook her head. He looked at the face of his sister-in-law who looked very anxious. His heart was a little bit full.

"what did he say to you?"

"he said that Rega was overtime, so maybe he came home a little late."

Hearing the Rose's reply, Helena instantly fell silent. Feeling that something is being hidden by his sister. Bayu said if Rega had been home since 5 pm but why until now has not also arrived home. He also lied to the rose. Helena who had experience about being lied to by men immediately realized something.

"maybe on the road, I'll go home too." Helena. Trying to throw away his bad thoughts about his sister.

Rega couldn't have done something like that he thought. Because Rega is a good man. Not like the men he had ever known.

The rose was forced to enter his room. Helena let out a long sigh while watching the back of the missing Rose behind the bedroom door.

"there's no way Rega's betrayed." Helena spoke with complete confidence.

Fifteen minutes passed, and the rose could not close its eyes at the thought of Rega. He decided to go back out, the middle room looked quiet. Apparently Helena's in the room. The TV is also turned off.

...***************...

Rega was in the fog wearing his clothes. He fell asleep after doing that with Hani. Once awakened the clock has shown at 10 p.m. Of course Rega panicked, Roses were definitely waiting for him.

He also turned on his phone which he had deliberately turned off so that there was no interference while enjoying his world paradise. Many messages from the rose came in.

"Why don't you wake me up, Han?" Rega Protests.

Hani just sniffed his shoulder. Actually Hani did not sleep at all, the woman was engrossed in playing flat objects of hers. It's just, Hani accidentally did not wake Rega because he did not want the man to come home.

"Roses can flood me with questions like this. It's almost midnight." Panic Rega.

"just relax. tell him the work is a lot, tomorrow mas enter the afternoon only. to reinforce that tonight is working overtime so tomorrow can be a bit relaxed.your wife must believe it, but, he never worked in an office, did he?" Hani said casually.

Rega accepted what Hani said was true. He also kissed the woman.

"i'm home."

"yes, be careful on your way."

Hani bit her lip. His hand touched his forehead that was in Rega's kiss earlier. His heart warms, Rega's treatment really makes him more and more in love.

As soon as he got home, Rega ran straight inside. The door is not in the key to make Rega do not need to bother tapping or pressing the bell button.

"Roses..." His steps stopped as soon as he saw the Rose asleep in the living room with a sitting position in a single chair.

"honey, wake up."

"gold?"

Rega stroked the head of the Rose. Her smile was so gentle and the look in her shady eyes made the Rose smile along.

"pardon me, huh? you've fallen asleep like this."

"mas, why did you just come home?"

Rega cleared his throat slowly. He tried to remember what Hani said earlier. Then he smiled and carried the body of the Rose, bringing her into the room.

Carefully he put his wife's body on the bed.

"the work is a lot of work, but tomorrow is the holiday, because tonight the work is done." The second time Rega lied for the rot he did.

First when he was late coming home for the first time and now, he was late coming home for the second time. All the reasons are the same, because Hani. But, in so shrewd a way he lied. It was as if he really worked all day.

Roses that are inexperienced about working in the office just nod their heads. He believed what Rega said. In the past, Rose only worked as a chef in a restaurant. Never been home this late.

Now the Roses stopped and focused on taking care of the house, all at Rega's request. The man didn't want the rose to be exhausted.

"mas, don't you want to take a shower?" Ask Roses when Rega is laying down her body.

Rega shook his head quickly.

"delighted baby, sleepy too." His word.

Rega hugged the wife's body, buried her head in the chest of the Rose. It didn't take long, he fell asleep too. The rose gnashed her forehead while smelling Rega's hair. Why does it smell different than usual.

"what's this?" Suspicious, Rose felt something strange in her heart.

For some reason, suddenly he felt if there was something Rega was covering from him.

...*****************...

The next morning, Roses woke up feeling uncomfortable. The smell of Rega's hair was also a red sign on her husband's body that was growing more and more. He accidentally saw the mark, not only on the neck alone even in the chest, stomach and back. What really happened to Rega, Roses don't understand.

"uhuk...uhuk..., what sign is dear?" Ask with fear.

Swallowed his saliva nervously. He looked around the middle room. Make sure there's no parents and no Helena now.

"when the mas sleep, the clothes are revealed. I saw red marks are a lot. yesterday mas said itchy, what is allergic mas something? food for example?"

"oh.that's, yeah, cold allergy mas." Rega breathed a sigh of relief, for the Rose did not seem to think far there.

The rose nodded. "in that case, due to the holiday. later we go to the doctor yes." Bring Roses.

"well.no-no, Rose. mas is fine."

"who's okay?" Helena squinted her eyes, looking at her sister and sister-in-law.

"this is the way, mas Rega his body is red-red. But weird, how purplish red is that?" Roses are like thinking, "come on, I'll make breakfast first."

Helena immediately blocked the arm of Rega who was about to leave when she left the rose to the kitchen. The man knew, his brother would definitely ask a lot now.

"Rega, I don't know. You weren't overtime yesterday and it's about red..." Helena pointed with her chin right to Rega's neck. "not a fool. that's a former ******. You did a bad thing behind your wife?"

Rega was wrong. Helena took a deep breath and threw it away violently.

"Rega, you may not seem to like your wife, but you don't justify what you're doing."

"you shall be silent, the rose will not know." Said Rega so easily.

"it's up to you, but I hope you'll wake up." Said and left.

Helena went into the kitchen. He saw the rose frying the chicken.

"is this tea for me?" Helena picked up a cup of tea that was already available on the table.

"that's..." The rose snorted as Helena was gone. "tea I mbak." Continue with annoyance.

Always was, Helena was always acting out. Eating or drinking anything without prior consent.

"Rose, make the mother tea. don't sweetness yes, later the mother sugar rises." Shouted Kulsum from the direction of the middle room. "and.dad mother already you..."

"my mother's been hung in my room." Sela Rose quickly, kept a cup of tea in front of her in-laws.

Kulsum glared, always on the sidelines like that made him even more disliked his daughter-in-law.

"parents talk it's not on the sidelines. You don't have any, you irreverent son-in-law." His grunt.

The rose knew it was wrong. But, out of annoyance he was like that. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had treated her like a maid. Asking for this and that, telling him to do this and that too.

Of course, the patience that the Rose has has has its limits. She can't just be quiet when she feels unappreciated by her husband's family.

"Where are you going?" Kulsum asked in a high tone when she saw the Roses walking away. "get the clothes, mommy wants to wear."

The rose closed her eyes. Then he quickly walked to his room. Took her in-laws' clothes which she had ironed.

"this is Mom."

Kulsum took it roughly and left without saying any thanks at all. Roses can only exhale rough, he then returned to the kitchen to continue the cooking is delayed.

Marja glanced at Rega who seemed not disturbed at all by the behavior of her mother. The man focused on his gadget. Although sitting on the terrace, but they could hear the words of Kulsum who did speak in such a high and loud tone.

"Rega, you went to your wife.your mother was too hard on her."

"let it go, sir. Mother is like that. not only on the Rose, to me, mbak Helen and also Father. mother always talk at will."

"don't compare with us. The rose is new here, you don't think about your wife's feelings?" Marja tries to give advice.

Rega put down her phone. It might be true what his father said. After all, Roses have always been taught gently by their parents. Even the rose was never asked to do any work by them.

"why silence? meet your wife, she's afraid she's crying in the kitchen."

"yes sir." Rega immediately moved from his seat.

His intention to comfort his wife when he saw the rose seemed fine. The woman cooked as usual, not even a sad look on her face.

"maybe the rose understands the mother's attitude." He murmured and then chose to enjoy his coffee again that had not run out.

"how?" Marja asked, as soon as Rega returned to sit beside her.

"already Sir. Roses are cooking."

Without Rega knowing, if his wife is grumbling in the heart. The rose cuts the vegetables in annoyance so that it sounds the bunya *TAK* which is quite loud. Roses vent their emotions to cooking ingredients. Early in the morning was very tired, doing everything on his own without anyone helping.

All food is ready. Roses set it on the table. The first person to come was Helena, the woman immediately sat down and ate voraciously. Then her mother-in-law who was neat with her typical clothes. The woman did the same. Both of them ate without bringing Roses or anything else.

The rose leaves both. It feels bad to stay in the kitchen watching them eat so voraciously. It's good without helping.

"Sir, mas..." The rose approached her husband and father-in-law. "breakfast first, mother and mother also ate."

"the two guys, you!" Desis Marja who was embarrassed by the behavior of his wife and child.

"yes sir, Rega." Kulum spoke with a full mouth.

"mother.mother." Marja exclaimed, "want to go and eat a lot."

"As for you sir." Keto.

"you have no shame, the Roses that cook you eat a lot." Said Marja again.

The Rose and Rega were silent. Both do not want to interfere.

"This father, just eat it. It's Rose's duty as Mr.'s son-in-law." This time Helena answered.

Marja doesn't think about both. He no longer spoke and ate. Because free will only make the problem even bigger. Helena and Kulsum are hard to talk to. Want to win alone even if wrong.
