JI 2 - Diary Becca's

Arini sat by the side of the bed looking at the book cover on her lap. The book is sky blue. It looks like the book is Becca's diary - Leon's second deceased wife.

Arini finds the book from a pile of cardboard containing Becca's clothes and belongings. Becca Memeng's clothes have not been arranged in a closet. So it's still in the cardboard.

Read? Or didn't?

Honestly, Arini wondered what Becca had written. But on the one hand he was afraid of being disrespectful for reading someone else's diary.

Because of the high curiosity, Arini finally decided to open the book and read it.

Becca Diary

At first I never thought about marrying someone's husband. I learned enough from my mother's experience. Mama used to be the same as Mama Arini. The polygamy of Papa.

But eventually Mama chose to step back and let Papa live life with his young wife. My mother could not love other women.

Ah... Papa's... I remember about him.

I don't know where that man is now. Reportedly I have never heard again since Mama decided to return to live in Indonesia.

Mama and Papa knew when Papa was studying in Indonesia. Until the seeds of love appear among them. And finally they got married and lived in the Arab-land of Papa's birth.

But their togetherness lasted only 16 years.

Arini did not immediately open the next page. He pensively long enough. Now that she found out, it turned out to be Becca's life story.

After pondering for a long time, Arini then opened the next page.

Becca Diary

Me and Mas Leon are heading to Turkey for a honeymoon. But something I didn't expect happened.

Turns out Ms. Arini was the pilot who delivered us the honeymoon.

I really feel guilty. I know, surely the heart of Madam Arini hurt so much to see me and her husband. I feel guilty. I want to be lost from the face of the earth.

"Enough, Rin! Don't continue!" Arini monologues while keeping Becca's diary in the closet. He did not want to continue reading. At least for now. But maybe he'll read it again.

Arini did not think it out, it turns out Becca is still thinking about her feelings as well. Although the position of Becca can be said to be an Actor or a Male Seizor, but Becca is not entirely evil. He still thought a little about Arini's feelings.

Love is always like that. Sometimes it can come at any time and to anyone. He doesn't look at feathers.

But even so, love is never wrong. What is wrong is the time and the person.

"Away alone, Leon?" Yuna who happened to cross paths with Leon in petarket reprimanding him.

Leon knows that the one who reprimanded him is his front neighbor, but he does not yet know his name. "Yes. Sorry, anybody's mom's name, huh? My wife and I haven't gotten to know each other yet" Leon said kindly.

"Yuna," Yuna replied as she stuffed the shampoo into her shopping basket. "Where's Ms Leon working?" Yuna could not help her curiosity. He was very curious after hearing the story from Sinta a day ago. What exactly is Leon working for? To the point of having many wives. Moreover, his wife is not an arbitrary person. Arini is the pilot, while Calina is the famous artist. Usually the woman wants to be in polygamy because the man is rich. If they are poor, they may want to.

Leon was about to answer, but the phone in his pants pocket rang. "Sorry, Miss Yuna. My wife called." Leon then moves away from Yuna and picks up the phone from Arini.

At that place, Yuna put on a sour face. He failed to get information.

"Hello, honey," said Leon after he picked up his phone.

"Yes, still. What's up?"

"Please buy some pads, okay? It turns out the stock in the house is out. I got it again."

"OK, Honey. Herbal remedies to come all month, no?" Leon offers a drug that is usually purchased by Calina at the time of the month. Yes, although Leon knows Arini never takes any medicine when it comes to the moon, but he still tries to offer it. Who knows now Arini would.

"No, no" replied Arini. Arini did not take any medicine at the time of the month. He felt pain like a woman in general, but he could still endure it. No need to take medication.

"OK, Honey. At waiting. I'll be home soon."

Leon immediately disconnects his phone call after getting an answer "yes" from Arini.

He takes Arini's order and pays it to the cashier. After that go home.

Inside the glass-walled minimarket, Yuna was still watching Leon until Leon disappeared from view.

Damn it! He should have almost gotten the information for his gossip material. But unfortunately, Leon's wife called.

Wulan was reading a comic on her phone while sleeping. These nights are her routine. Reading comics. Wulan is a comic lover.

"So I met her teacher Miss Jasmine at the minimarket" Anis told Retno. Anis once picked up Jasmine at school. And it was at that moment that he became acquainted with his teacher Jasmine who turned out to be his neighbor.

"Continue?" ask Retno curiously.

"He asked, do you want polygamy again or not? If so, he has a single friend."

"Keep your response how?"

"I said, no, dong! La wong I see it looks like you've already repented, really."

"It's good for you" said Retno.

They both can see that the male employer no longer wants to be polygamous.

Meanwhile, Wulan who was lying on the bed, looked briefly at Ani and Retno who were chatting on the sofa. Then he went back to reading comics.

The three of them lived in the same room. And the room that the three of them occupied was as spacious as the main room. So it's not like ART rooms in general, which are only about the size of a koset compartment and are located at the very back.

Arini did not want to treat her ART like that. Therefore, he gave the room for his ART as comfortable as possible.

In the room is equipped with two mattresses, one large and one small. There are also sofas, AC and television. It makes the three of them feel at home working here.

"German..." Retno calls Wulan who is cool in reading comics while lying down.

"Yes, Bude?" wulan replied while looking at Retno.

"If anyone is gossiping about Father or Mother, you just go right away, yes! No need to be in ladeni," said Retno giving advice.

"Ready, Bude!" wulan replied with confidence.

Because Wulan is still very young, Retno is afraid that Wulan will be affected by cheap rumors circulating.

One that Retno does not know, if this Wulan is not the type of person who likes to gossip. The proof is that when two colleagues are gossiping, he prefers not to listen and focus on reading.
