HIDDEN WIFE
The huft! Lula ... Lula!

Long enough Lula and the woman he just met sat down while chatting. Dirga had to hide and wait behind a pillar, while looking for ways to avoid meeting with the mother. To leave Lula was impossible.

The man glanced there again, it seemed that Mama Diana was still at home chatting with Lula. 

“Where are you going, son? Why haven't you returned from the toilet?” mama Diana asked in surprise, for almost thirty minutes sat with the woman, but her husband did not return. 

“Maybe be here soon, Mom,”. “If Mom wants to go first, it's okay.” 

The middle-aged woman then glanced at the clockwise direction on her wrist, the clockwise direction had pointed at four in the afternoon and she still had a lot of important business.

 “Iya, looks like mom should go first. There's still important business.” 

Lula nodded and smiled kindly to the woman who was very gentle to him. 

“You be careful, son! Hope the delivery is smooth.” 

“Thank you, Mom. Mother also be careful.” 

Diana leaves Lula, making all the weight on Dirga's chest disappear. He breathed a sigh of relief while leaning against the pillar. Swiped his chest a few times. 

“Finally go too.” 

After making sure Mama Diana had moved away, then Dirga approached the wife. Sometimes his eyes were still looking around. 

“Why to the toilet long time ago, Mas?” 

“Later I tell you, Honey,” he said as he pulled the handle of a grocery trolley. “Yuk, while walking.”

Lula and Dirga are in a cafe. The shopping event today is quite tiring, so choose to rest the cafe. 

Lula took a sip of her favorite avocado juice, making Dirga stare at her. The tiny lips that were attached to the end of the straw and also the white neck that moved when swallowing the juice made Dirga lose focus. For some reason, he felt heartbroken with tiny lips that always looked red even though he did not use the lipstick. 

“Why stare at me so?” 

“Your lips are funny!” answer Dirga spontaneously. Then pursed his lips when he realized his wife's face was suddenly blushing red. “Em .. I mean .. you're funny while you're suctioning. Uh, sorry ... that's not what I mean—” 

Dirga raced, making the red hue on Lula's cheeks more clearly visible. Lula lowered her gaze while biting her lower lip. 

Oh my god, what a test. The snouts bite the straw now even bitten by his lower lip. Lula ... Lula .. grumbled Dirga lamenting his fate.

Dirga massaged the base of his nose. Not wanting to drag on in the awkwardness created by sucking lips, Dirga finally chose to divert the conversation. “Oh yes ... I saw you sitting alone with your mothers. What are you chatting about?” 

“Oh the mother of earlier?” 

Dirga nodded while stirring his coffee. 

“Not much, Mas. I just said I was hoping to have a grandchild soon.” 

“Oh ..” Dirga sipped coffee to disguise the nervousness on his face. “Chat what else?” 

“Nothing important. His name is also new acquaintance.” 

Dirga inhaled a lot of air, then stared at Lula intensely. 

Lula's eyes widened to hear the husband's words. His mind was immediately fixed on the friendly and gentle woman accompanying him chatting while waiting for Dirga to go to the toilet. But at the same time, the red hue on his face that had been seen quite clearly began to disappear. Change into a sadness. Thinking of his status that was indeed only a hidden wife. 

Seeing that, Dirga had been able to guess the contents of his wife's mind. He clasped his hand. “Sorry, I don't want to admit you.” 

“I understand, Mas.” Lula rubbed the tip of her eye. Then he smiled, but Dirga could see the wound in his wife's smile. 

 “Sayang .. I know what mom is like. My mother will not accept you easily. I'm sorry, but you've received enough hatred from Alika. I don't want you to also receive hatred from your mother. I need time to convince mama.” 

“It's okay, Mas. After this child is born, you will leave me as you promised Ms. Alika. Besides, didn't you also promise to demand custody of this child?” 

“No!” sambar Dirga quickly. “It won't happen. I will find the best way for us, without having to sacrifice you again.” 

“How to?” 

“We are officially married.” 

Lula looked at Dirga fixedly. Speech containing great hope that made him teary-eyed.

"Darling ... You wait here huh. I'll take the car first.” 

"Yes, Mum."

He moved to the parking lot, while Lula waited in the lobby. He pushed the grocery trolley to a corner where there was a long chair, so he could sit there waiting.

A smile appeared on her lips, recalling the conversation earlier with Dirga who intended to marry her officially after their child was born.

"Son, you are patient ... I will definitely find the best way for us" said Lula stroking his stomach.

Lula's view went around. Glance at a small food store that is quite famous for its delicious menu right next to the lobby. Just looking at the image contained on the banner alone had made him imagine the delicacy.

"I bought it while I waited for Mas Dirga."

Just as Lula was about to step into the small food store, his attention was already on a cafe located in the shopping center's courtyard. He reflexively hid his body on the wall.

"That's Hito with Ms. Alika. Why are they both here?" muttered Lula, her feet began to step closer with a fan in the hand that she used to cover her face.

The position of Hito and Alika who were too close to him made him curious.

"What is the relationship between Hito and Bu Alika? Why do they look so close?"

Lula stepped closer, so as to hear their conversation clearly.

"Don't press me like this, Hito! I tried too!" Alika's words could be heard clearly by Lula.

Why is Miss Alika talking like that? What the hell is this really?
