Husband In Life's
Retreat from the Olympics

**

"Sorry ma'am, it looks like I can't take part in the Olympics" Rosa said after staring at the man who would be her partner.

Rosa had not expected to meet Satria this soon. He has not seen each other since his rebirth. Because Satria is his upperclassman. Class XI and CII are very far away. So Rosa does not have to worry and avoid if she meets Satria.

Satria is smart. However, he's a slacker. Rosa recalled, Satria did not participate in the Olympics in the past. But, why was Satria following him now?

Rosa's words made Bu Mila and Satria equally frown.

"Why? You know each other, don't you?" tanya Mila looked at the displeasure on Rosa's face as she looked at Satria.

Rosa smiled. "That's not what I meant. I have something I can't leave at home" he replied between right and no.

Initially Rosa will follow. However, after seeing Satria and remembering Ibrahim at home, Rosa changed her mind. It is better to take care of Ibrahim than to be with Satria for the Olympics.

Although disappointed, Madam Mila still nodded in understanding. It won't be too pushy.

The Eskpression of Satria changed. Satria knew what Rosa meant. His heart was hot and he was upset. At first, he did not want to participate in the Olympics, but Satria heard that Mila told someone to tell and offer Rosa to attend the Olympics. Satria was interested and followed him.

It was inconceivable that Rosa would back down. Now, the moment Rosa looked at him was not an enthusiastic and happy gaze, but a dislike and a little cold.

Satria sure, Rosa did not come for sure because she herself would be his partner. Satria was not sure of the reason Rosa had said. Rosa wouldn't like to take care of that disabled man! Rosa would still love it! Perhaps the dislike gaze that Satria saw in Rosa's eyes to her must have been due to her marriage that didn't happen!.

Thinking that, Satria's face slightly recovered.

"Then I say, Mom, "If you change your mind, meet me here. It's still a few days away."

Rosa nodded and smiled politely.

Then he came out of the room.

"Rose!"

Rosa's steps stopped . He knew whose voice was calling him. Rosa was silent without looking.

"Why?" satria asked with a frown after arriving in front of Rosa.

Rosa did not need to pretend, she stared at Satria coldly.

His suffering in the past instantly flashed across his mind. Although Rosa has a bit of fear, traumatized by what Satria has done in the past, she tries to fight her fear.

Satria was getting confused with cold eyes. Moreover, Satria saw a deep hatred. He never saw it. Wh why? Satria was also a victim. He never expected, not the Rosa he married.

Rsf did not answer. Nonchalantly even continued his steps.

Satria was so upset, she immediately pulled Rosa's left hand so that the girl retreated back to her arms. Rosa's face is getting cold. He violently threw out Satria's hand that was grasping her arm.

Satria was surprised by his collection. His face was clearly unhappy. "So hate you for me? Why are you backing out? Is it because I'm gonna be your partner? Don't hate me, Rosa. I myself became a victim of that changed marriage. I never thought they would take you in place of Suchi. I accepted the wedding because of you"

Ros smiled ironically. "really?Then why should I be the reason you accepted the marriage?."

Satria did not understand Rosa's attitude now. His attitude was very different than the last time he met her. Rosa was very gentle when she talked to him. Her plain and beautiful face is always bright with lips always curved. Now though? It's like someone else's Rosa. Very cold and isolated.

"Because I just like you, Rosa" she replied honestly.

Satria liked it more when she saw the beautiful photo of Rosa yesterday. He was very jealous to see the comments of other men. So, he didn't miss. Considering she was married and Rosa married someone else, her heart was very hot and uncomfortable. Rosa should be hers!.

Rosa laughed cynically, she stepped closer to Satria. When Rosa and her shoulders touched, Satria froze. When they look from behind or in front, they hug. However, his hand remained in place.

As Rosa's face reached next to Satria's, Rosa whispered in a mocking tone. "because you like me or....."

"...Because of my treasure?"

Satria. His face changed drastically. Rosa's words are not wrong.

Saw his reaction. Rosa retreated while laughing sarcastically sounding scorn. Rosa tilted her head. Staring Satria. He sizzled Cynically. "I'm right, aren't I?"

Seeing her silent, Rosa's smile widened. But it's not a good smile. With a voice that only two people could hear. Rosa Says ".... I will not regret choosing Abraham. He's better than you. Then about why I backed off, it wasn't just you. But because I'm going to take care of Ibrahim. He's been my priority."

After saying that, Rosa left by bumping into Satria's shoulder with Kasar. Meanwhile, Satria was still standing stiffly with both hands clenched, her heart agitated.

She did not expect Rosa to know her intentions. Satria was very upset with her last words. Rosa hated him. He prefers that disabled man. His heart was sick and jealous.

On the other hand, not a few students were watching them. But no one could hear what they were talking about. They are used to seeing Rosa and Satria together.

Suchi did not see the strangeness or expression of the two people. Suchi just saw them talking so intimately.

Suchi saw Rosa full of hatred. After remembering the tape he had, his face was a little better, and then he left.

"I'm sorry" That's what Rosa said she had entered her class.

Everyone's talk and movement stopped. They looked astonished at Rosa who looked guilty.

"What's up, Rosa?" Ask Fajar confused. He stood up and approached the girl who was silent at the door.

Rosa took a deep breath. He raised his head against all eyes that were on him.

"I changed my mind. I didn't go to the Olympics because I had something I wouldn't leave at home" he said. However, amidst the silence of the classroom everyone could hear his voice.

Rosa looked at each one. However, no one looked at him as disappointed as expected in his mind. They even smile.

"Why do you have to be that sad? whether or not it is your right and your decision, Rosa" Tiara said casually.

The others nodded.

"Yes, after all everyone has their own interests. We will always support your decision, Rosa. There's plenty of time for you to follow him." The word Dawn entertains.

Rosa relax. He smiled haru. Their response was beyond belief.

"Thank you."

In the morning, it was cold. The sun is covered in black clouds. Raindrops drenched the ground and the streets. However, it does not prevent Rosa from going to school.

Despite the cold atmosphere, warm gossip flowed along Rosa walking in the corridor. Rosa clearly heard what they were talking about. But, the rumors were skewed they did not stop Rosa's footsteps. Moreover, their gazes were different from usual.

Rosa did not know and did not want to know what they were talking about. He doesn't care. To be sure, Rosa had already guessed and knew who the mastermind was.

Fajr and Tiara seemed to rush towards him. Their faces were clearly worried. Rosa just smiled lightly.

"Rose! You okay?! Don't listen to their rumors!" pekik Tiara was worried.

Dawn nodded and stared intently at the gossipers around her.

Rosa raised an eyebrow. Ask without interest.

"What's wrong?"

both of his friends were shocked. "You don't know?!" jolt them together.

Rosa shook her head innocently.

Tiara patted her eel. Then he opened his phone. "It! in the school forum someone uploaded your video with Suchi. The problem is the words of Suchi. The comments on this post are a blasphemy to many people. They say you're an unfilial child, ungrateful-" Tiara explained excitedly.

"I'm grateful you haven't seen him. I'm afraid you're sad. Don't listen to them. We're sure you're not who they say you are. Maybe it's just Suchi's wits" Cibir Fajar.

Rosa nodded without changing her expression. His guess was right, it turned out that Suchi was just acting. On the other hand, there must be someone recording it. "I'm okay to just calm down."

Tiara and Dawn were getting anxious to see the response. Rosa was too relaxed, her heart must have been more depressed and pretended to be strong.

"This must be Suchi! Let's get to his class!" Angry Dawn.

Dawn will step but Rosa will prevent it. "No need. I'm really fine. Let it go." he said at the end of an invisible grin.

Tiara and Dawn heaved a sigh of relief Seeing her not lying. They were afraid Rosa would be sad.

"Okay, I'll help you get rid of that video. Or can we tell the truth?" The Dawn of Rosa.

"No need" she refused subtly. Rosa smiled lightly. "What Suchi said is true"

Dawn and Tiara frowned in wonder. Rosa smiled and pulled her hands together. "Let's go to class. I'll tell you."
