Household
Chapter 49 - Rica - Rica

Since knowing the condition of Binar, Albiru increasingly keep Binar. And to prevent Binar from knowing his condition, Albiru deliberately kept this from anyone.

Binar himself felt something strange about him. Many fears were lodged in her mind, but she could not say that to Albiru as she was increasingly burdening her husband.

"Why baby?" ask Albiru to the dreamy Binae.

Binar turned his head, trying to smile even though his mind was filled with worry.

"I'd like to see Rika again, would you?" Binar asked expectantly. The woman was comfortable with Rika.

"May you love." Albiru replied gently not forgetting to give her warm smile.

"Mbak Rika is good, but I'm afraid you like her." Binar said carefully, this is what he was worried about.

"I just love you Bi, I just want to be with you. No matter what happens, I still love and love you. Don't think I'll turn away." Albiru said patiently, trying to make Binar understand.

Binar just nodded, his heart still hesitating. Rika does look so good and like a big sister figure to her, but somehow lately she has always been agitated by her bad thoughts.

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

"Hi, Binar." Rika greeted Binar warmly.

Both women are currently in the restaurant. They promised to have lunch together last night.

"Hi, ma'am." Binar greeted with doubt.

Today was the first time she met Rika without Albiru. The man said maybe Binar needs time alone with Rika to be more comfortable.

"How's it going?" ask Rika after she finished choosing her lunch menu.

"Alhamdulillah good mbak, but... " Binar looked doubtfully at Rika. She wants to tell a story but is afraid of making Rika uncomfortable.

"But what is Binar? If you want to tell a story, I will gladly listen. I told you I wanted to be your friend." Rika's understanding speech makes Binar comfortable.

"Today I feel something is wrong with me. I'm afraid Blue will leave me and choose another woman." Said Binar starting her story, a little relieved there was no Albiru beside her at the moment.

Rika smiled warmly, "are you very fond of Blue?"

"Yes, ma'am." Binar said confidently.

"Honey is natural and the fear of loss is natural, as long as it fits the portion." Rika said carefully, however1 she was afraid that she would offend Binar and make her stay away.

"I mean?" tanya Binar did not understand.

"Everything you feel is natural, just as it is not excessive. Something excessive is not good? Therefore we have to be careful, fearing it makes the couple uncomfortable and feeling we can't trust him." Rika replied casually while enjoying her lunch.

"And one more thing, excessive worry also tortures yourself. The feeling of unease that keeps haunting." Rika continued to be relaxed so that Binar did not feel their conversation was too stiff.

"Keep, what should I do?" ask Binar again.

"Controlling it is difficult, but it certainly can if we try slowly. Just trying to think positively." Rika answered carefully.

Binar smiled slightly, feeling that what Rika said was true. Lately he was too worried too much when Albiru always be nice to him.

Their conversation continued to become more relaxed. Rika deliberately did not discuss other complicated matters, she wanted to give a pause to Binar. While Binar himself has begun to be comfortable with Rika, an adult woman who looks so smart.

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

At Albiru's parents' house, Lady Siti secretly contacts Ella. I don't know why she feels bad because some days Ella can't be contacted.

Glad Ella answered her phone call. But all Mother Siti heard was Ella's crying voice.

"Ella? What's up, son?" ask Siti worried.

"Ella, why son? Is there something bad about you?" Mother Siti asked again.

"The man who used to terrorize Ella came again Mom, he even threatened Ella."

"Astaghfirullah, what is he doing?"

"Ella can't tell, but Ella begs me no matter what happens to trust Ella, ma'am."

Lady Siti was getting worried but she couldn't do anything.

"Mom always believed in Ella, you're calm. I'll try to help you."

"No ma'am, don't get involved. Ella didn't want him to be determined and hurt Mom."

"Keep what should you do?" Mother Siti asked in confusion.

He was very worried but Ella instead forbade him from interfering.

"Just trust Ella."

The new Lady will answer when a voice shocks her.

"So you've been hiding Ella all this time?" Latif's father asked in an angry tone. Not expecting his wife still hasn't changed and continues to cover up his daughter's misdeeds.

Ella who heard Latif's father's voice immediately turned off the call. He was too afraid to hear the voice of the man he had always considered his real father.

Mother Siti stuttered, not knowing what to answer.

"Where's the girl?" ask Latif's father again.

"Please don't hurt Ella. It's enough he's suffering him prison." Mother Siti held Latif's father's hand, pleading pitifully.

"That's punishment for his evil deeds." Latif's father brushed off Mom Siti's hand.

The man was still so angry with all his wife's behavior.

"Dad, please excuse Ella. He's in trouble out there. There's someone who's mean to her, please let Ella come home." Ibu Siti implored desperately to let Latif's father's heart melt.

Latif's father shook his head firmly. Rejecting the request of the wife who was never deterred.

"There is always a recompense for every action. Whatever happened to him out there is a payoff for the crimes against Binar." Latif's father said firmly to make Mother Siti look angry.

"Dad defends Dad's son-in-law rather than the child we raised together. Dad's really outrageous!" Mother Siti stood up, staring angrily at Latif's father who looked unconcerned.

"What does your daughter do that you don't think is outrageous? Where's your brain?" Latif's father said disparagingly, he did not understand his wife's thoughts.

"But Ella... "

"That's enough!" Latif's father immediately cut off Mother Siti's clear speech that would continue to defend Ella.

"Urus is your own daughter. Tell him to enjoy vengeance for his evil deeds."

After saying that Latif's father immediately left Mother Siti. Latif's father was still so disappointed by Ella's actions. He felt so failed to educate his daughter.

Plus the harsh reality that befell Binar made Latif's father feel more guilty. Until now he was even still so embarrassed to meet Binar's parents.

But deep down, the feeling of worry for Ella remained. Worried about Ella's condition but guilt for Binar makes her insistent.
