Istikharah
GC Arini (2)

Arini looked towards Leon who was fast asleep. Her husband slept with her peace. Arini approaches Leon and wakes her husband up for dawn. Thankfully Arini didn't have to expend much energy to wake Leon up. Because five calls and a back shake can wake Leon up.

After the dawn service, Leon immediately took a shower to get ready for the office. While Leon was bathing, Arini prepared breakfast that he had been cooking since four o'clock.

Yes, he accidentally woke up to pee. He was unable to go back to sleep and decided to cook.

Warm chicken porridge gives off a fragrant aroma in the kitchen room. The aroma is very tempting.

Seeing that the breakfast was over, and Leon had not yet arrived, Arini headed to his room to meet Leon. Her husband was buttoning his shirt. Arini, determined to maintain her relationship with Leon, helps her husband button up his shirt sleeve.

"Thank you" whispered Leon. He steals kiss Arini's cheek on a wet towel.

"Thieves!" arini said as she headed towards the kitchen.

Leon just shook his head while continuing to smile. He follows Arini while carrying his briefcase. Apart from being an employee, Leon also has shares in two well-known companies. Not much, just ten percent each. But it's pretty decent.

In addition, he also has a cattle ranch business managed by his best friend in the village. Leon rarely visited the farm and only received reports via email. And Leon will only come to visit when there's a serious problem.

So the point is that Leon does not only earn income from employees. Leon deliberately works as an employee to learn how to build a company. He had long aspired as an entrepreneur, and if the time had come. He will quit his job now and develop his cattle ranch. He wants to build a slaughterhouse and hopefully the beef can be distributed throughout Indonesia, so there is no need for imported meat. Dreams are high, right? No one forbids it, right?

"Let's have breakfast!" take Arini while glancing at the empty seat in front of her.

"Bah... Chicken porridge. I love chicken porridge" Leon said, putting his bag on an empty chair and then sitting in front of Arini.

They enjoy eating in silence. After he finished eating, Leon immediately left for the office.

"Be careful," said Arini irrigate Leon's departure to the front door.

Instead of answering, Leon hugged Arini long enough. Like someone who would just split up. "I'll go to work first. Later at night sleep here again" said Leon while releasing his embrace. He kissed the old Arini's forehead. After that, he went to work.

Arini waited for Leon's back to disappear in the elevator, then after that he re-entered his apartment.

After Leon's death, Arini decided to take a bath. After the shower, an unknown number called.

"Hallo," said Arini.

"With Arini's mother?" ask the man across there and be asserted by Arini.

After telling her the point, it turned out that it was the number of Abang ojek online who brought a package.

Arini who felt confused because she did not feel ordered something frowned for a moment. But he still met the driver of the motorcycle and received the package he said for him.

In the winning package written his name correctly. There was a flower bucket and a box that was quite large.

Curious about who the delivery is, Arini immediately opened the letter in the flower bucket.

Dear Ririn, please,

It's me Calina. Happy birthday to you. May your age be blessed and always be filled with much love.

I want to talk about something very important. If you can, please come to Alam Asri Restaurant in the VIP room 1 hour 11 later.

***

After receiving Calina's gift package which turned out to contain a beige branded bag, Arini decided to meet Calina. It seems like there is something very important to be discussed.

She called Leon and asked him everything, how Calina could know his birthday and address and mobile number. Leon tells Calina that he has permission to celebrate Arini's birthday. That's where Calina found out Arini's birthday. And after that Calina asks for Arini's address and phone number.

Leon who had made sure Calina would not mess around just give it away.

Leon also tells that between himself and Calina already know each other. In a sense they both already know that they are the legal wife of Leon.

"Sorry, too late," Arini regretted as she had already seen Calina sitting sweetly in her order room.

"No. I'm the one who came too soon" Calina said with a sweet smile. "What message do you want?" tanyakanya.

"Just like you" said Arini.

Calina ordered food for the two of them. After the order comes, Calina invites Arini to enjoy first. Only then will he tell the truth to Arini.

"Thank you for the birthday present" Arini said as they finished their meal.

"You like it?" calina asked and was taken by Arini. "Thank God you like it." Calina pulled both corners of her lips as she was relieved that her gift was well received by Arini.

Last night, Calina pestered Via to buy an elegant bag and ordered a flower bucket for the morning. Thankfully Via works so well that what he wants is realized.

"Something you really want to talk about?" Arini started a topic that had already made her curious. What made Calina want to meet him.

Does Calina want to ask him to part with Leon? Or what? Arini was very curious.

Calina did not answer immediately, she put her hand on the table and linked her fingers there. "Leon was my ex-boyfriend from High School" Calina said, glaring, as if recalling the past.

Arini did not answer immediately, she tried to calm down waiting for Calina to continue her speech.

"I used to love him very much. But that was before," Calina said, looking down. "And not anymore" he said.

Arini frowned in wonder. If not love then why get married?

"I no longer love Leon. I forced her to marry me for a reason." Calina looked up at Arini. "But I can't tell you this. Afraid you'll get carried away later. This nobody knows, including my parents."

"Leon knows your reason?" ask Arini carefully.

Calina shook her head slowly. "No," he wrote.

"What's your purpose in telling me this?" Arini still asked with a half-likely expression. He is not the type of person who likes to be angry especially to new people.

"I just don't want you to be bothered by my presence. Let's just say I never existed, Rin. All this time I've never banned Leon for anything. Including me never forbid Leon with his other wife," Calina said slowly.

Arini answered nothing. He doesn't know what to respond to.
