           HUSBAND OF ANOTHER NATURE

#part_71

#by: R.D.Lestari.

     Indri is still haunted on the porch of his house. The large and magnificent house is the result of her in-laws who routinely give every month. Gold and jewels too. Indri is spoiled with a lot of wealth.

    Although his life is enough, but his soul feels empty. Bima, the man she loved never came.

   Exactly a year had they separated in two realms. Indri is getting lonely. Especially since he married and took care of children, his two friends very rarely visit and spend time together. Just a video call without ever meeting.

   Indri life is only limited to taking care of children and sightseeing. He refused to meet and talk to people around.

     Once he came out and gave compensation to the citizens, some refused because judging the money given was the result of allying with the jinn and they were afraid of becoming a victim.

   It made Indri shock. He wanted to move, but he fell in love with the place. The place where it was born and raised.

   With that much money, Indri plans to make the company. He wanted to help a lot of people and of course, kill the boredom in him. After all, Stella's child is also grown, can be left behind.

    Indri stepped closer to his mother who was playing with Stella, his little baby.

    My father was there to accompany him. While occasionally humming to cheer the heart of the little boy who was funny again.

    "Mom, Dad, what if we make a business or company like that, Indri bored, Mom, Dad. At home continue, even though our money is abundant, but I am always in the midst of sadness," Indri expressed her heart.

   Mom and Dad looked at each other. Confused to answer what. They are really public about effort. He only worked as a small farmer.

    "But, Mom and Dad ...,"

    "Mom and Dad should not be confused. It's Indri's business, the important thing is that Mom and Dad keep an eye on Stella. Indri hires a babysitter for Stella. Indri only needs permission and blessing from Father and Mother" said Indri hopeful.

    Mom and Dad agreed. They hope Indri can keep her heart until her husband comes and picks them up.

    "Mother and Father don't be afraid, my love is only for Bima and my family. There's no place for anyone else on either side,"

     "When are you here? aren't you officially a part of Uwentira?" Mother suddenly asked and made Indri stunned. Quiet for a moment.

    "Indri is waiting for Bima to come pick up, Mom. There's actually going to be a penalty for me if they know I'm back, but, it doesn't seem like the law is as hard as it used to be. The proof is that many Uwentira residents are free to pass without punishment" explained Indri.

    "Do you know where, In?" search Mother

    "Mom, who has Uwentira's blood, has many advantages and strengths. We can smell our fellow citizens even miles away,"

     "And, you know what? Rena and Sri will soon be joining you. Being part of Uwentira," Indri's face sparkled. He is happy because he will not be alone. His friends will follow in his footsteps.

    "Lha? what yes?"

    "Yes, Mom. Indri could see if they were in love with Uwentira beings, just like me," Indri nodded confidently.

    This morning Indri was getting ready to find the most appropriate and comfortable place for him to make a place of business. Rows of shophouses in the city center became his main destination. He plans to open a grocery store that sells various household needs. Not just one store but dozens of them simultaneously.

    He also opened a job opening. Hundreds of people came to propose. Indri scheduled tomorrow he will start interviewing several people simultaneously after the business of the store is finished. He asked his uncle to help him with his work.

     Lucky the Uncle was very quick. It only took a few days to find a store. And, as long as it's the business about the store goes smoothly and easily. Now just look for the employees.

    Indri's stomach is very sore and rumbling. Heads circling. Since morning at least he has interviewed more than a dozen people. He was tired until his head was heavy.

   Wh-tok-tok!

   Indri heard the door of his room on tap. Yes, a shophouse he was renting to make a temporary office.

    He was hesitant to go back to interview, but pity interfered. "Let this one man alone" he said.

"Yes, ma-suk,"

"Akhich!"

Indri's head is like being hit from behind. Pain and tenderness. "What's this?" indri Inner.

"Akhich!"

Indri again pressed his head that was getting sicker. Trying hard to see someone who just mentioned his name slowly.

Faintly, he only saw faintly someone standing upright not far from him. He tried to get up with a trembling body, someone kept coming closer.

"Indri..," again, someone said his name again.

Indri narrowed his eyes, but the pain in his head became more agonizing. Indri increasingly staggered and limp.

His views were blackened and ...

Slapp!

Indri fell, not on the floor but in the arms of a man. The man who's waiting his turn for the interview this afternoon. Last participant.

The man took Indri to the sofa and laid him there. He then left the room and called his uncle Indri to come to help.

Uncle came in throng with water in his hands and also eucalyptus oil. Yes, he knows very well that Indri is weak when hungry . That is the cause of the collapse of Indri at this time.

It took a few minutes for Indri's consciousness to return. His uncle repeatedly applied eucalyptus oil on Indri's forehead and nose. The young mother's eyes finally blinked .

It took a few seconds for his vision to be perfect. He was stunned when his net caught a familiar figure to him. The figure stood upright beside him with a friendly outstretched smile.

"You-You ...,"

"Yes, it's me ...,"

"Ikhsan ..., you're ikhsan ...,"

Indri's heart is beating fast. The arrival of Ikhsan in his office was truly unexpected.

Ikhsan ..the man who once filled his heart for many years. Knitting love to dream to the level of marriage. However, because Indri was poor and only the son of a farmer, the Ikhsan family rejected Indri outright.

Ikhsan who was still in High School had to be willing to change schools to cross the ocean. Since then they have broken up. There's never any news.

Indri resigned and gave up, but for him, Ikhsan is still a good man who is always there for him. All because of family.

Indri brushed aside all the past that suddenly appeared. He realized he was married now. He now only considers Ikhsan as a friend. He buried his past and made peace with his heart

"What do you want, you're here, San?" Indri asked while leaning on the sofa. His headache is getting better.

"I want to apply for a job, In, uh Ibu Indri," he said, lowering his face.

"You want to work for me? isn't your family rich?" Indri looked up at Ikhsan. The sadness was back. Rays of disappointment emanated from Indri's face that turned out to be undeniable are still tucked into resentment due to being dumped.

"I ...,"
