Kaluna Marriage Wound

Kaluna Marriage Wound
This Pain Belongs Only to Kaluna


Kaluna went down the stairs connecting the first and second floors of her house. He was ready with a black span skirt and a bone-white shirt to go to the office. Her hair that was tucked upwards swayed along with her footsteps. Kaluna looks fresher compared to a week ago when she had just had a miscarriage. In addition, she also uses powder and pink lipstick that makes her look more beautiful.


The first sight Kaluna saw when she reached the dining room was Rizhan pouring drinking water for Eliza. Kaluna's heart was sliced, she turned around and looked up slightly so that no water would fall from her eyes.


"Mrs Kaluna." Ani looked at Kaluna as she put the crackers on the dining table.


Rizhan was surprised to hear Ani mention Kaluna's name, "Kaluna, I think you still want to rest at home so I don't wake you up." He said with a guilty face.


Kaluna turned her back after changing her facial expression as flat as possible, as if building a sturdy wall that neither Rizhan nor Eliza could penetrate. Kaluna had to stand on her own feet even without Rizhan strengthening her.


"Wear your ring." Kaluna's hand outstretched a ring belonging to Rizhan right in front of Eliza's face.


According to Rizhan wearing his ring on his ring finger, he took it off while bathing and forgot to wear it again until this morning. It must have made Kaluna's mood even more awkward.


"For Kaluna." Greet Eliza with a nervous smile.


Kaluna did not reply as if she had not heard the greeting, she took two slices of bread and smeared them with peanut butter.


"You only eat bread? Bi Ani makes your favorite squid fried rice." Rizhan moved the fried rice near Kaluna.


Kaluna was still silent, she was seen enjoying her activities rubbing jam on bread and devouring it.


Eliza looked at Rizhan, what an awkward atmosphere this time made her not know what else to say to melt the atmosphere.


"Bi Ani please enter the fried rice into the box yes, I eat in the office." Kaluna got up from her seat, put the new bread she ate a bite on the plate. How could he have a taste for a meal if one table with Eliza.


"Kaluna, you brought your own car." Ask Rizhan.


"Have I ever taken my own car to the office?" Kaluna looked at Rizhan.


"No." Rizhan shook his head and immediately got up from his seat hurriedly following Kaluna leaving Eliza alone in the dining room. Eliza could not hold Rizhan back because she realized that she was only a second wife. Kaluna is still the most powerful over Rizhan and everything in this house.


Rizhan goes to the room to pick up his briefcase while Kaluna waits on the terrace while wearing black high heels.


Ani brought a food box for Kaluna that had been placed in a paper bag.


"Let's go." Rizhan was ready to go to the office with his briefcase.


Kaluna stepped first towards Rizhan's car in the courtyard of the house.


"For Ma'am, Sir." Rudi who had just cleaned the car greeted Kaluna and Rizhan upon seeing them. He is the private driver of Rizhan and Kaluna but they often drive themselves so Rudi's current task is to wash the car and arrange the park.


"For Mr." Reply Rizhan and Kaluna together.


Rudi opens the car door for Kaluna while Rizhan steps around the car and sits in the steering wheel. Rizhan glanced at Kaluna who was still flinching making it go awry.


"Kaluna I can't stand if you keep quiet like this." Rizhan steps on the gas as Rudi starts to open the gate, he runs the car slowly out of his spacious yard.


"Keep what I want, want me to act as if nothing happened, you don't know what it's like to hurt my heart, you're happy over my sadness."


"How can you say I'm happy?" Rizhan was offended by Kaluna's words.


Rizhan is unconscious that he has hurt Kaluna so much by cheating on her. Kaluna was just telling the truth. Of course it is not excessive if Kaluna says Rizhan is happy over his suffering. In this case Kaluna was the most disadvantaged, she had various husbands and love with other women, at the same time Kaluna also lost her baby. Wasn't the beneficiary party Rizhan because he had two wives at once.


"I've given you a choice, me or him but your answer is not to leave him, you indirectly choose him." Kaluna turned around to look at Rizhan completely.


"I can't leave Eliza because she's pregnant."


"Not because of love?"


Rizhan was speechless swallowing his saliva painstakingly at a loss for words to reply to Kaluna's words.


Kaluna smiled obliquely with tears spreading, she threw her body into the back of the chair pressing her temple which felt pulsating. If not for avoiding the strange thoughts of his employees Kaluna would not want a car with Rizhan. He was tired of being next to that guy.


"Good morning Mr. Rizhan and Mrs Kaluna." Security guards on the right and left of the entrance welcomed the arrival of their two bosses.


"How's Miss Kaluna doing?" Sophia—secretary Kaluna and Rizhan greeted Kaluna as well at the doorstep. Sophia spread a sweet smile on Kaluna after a week of not seeing the boss in the office. "We wanted to visit Mom to the hospital but Ms Astri said Ms. Kaluna couldn't be bothered." He followed Kaluna to the elevator.


"Thank you for worrying about me, it's true that I have to take a complete break but today I'm healthy."


Sophia pressed the top number on the elevator to Kaluna's room and Rizhan was.


"Thank God that Ms. Kaluna can get back to work."


"Isn't there a lot of work waiting for me?" Kaluna glanced at the tablet in Sophia's hand, she had expected that there was a lot of work waiting for her because during this week also Rizhan could not stay in the office for long.


Sophia nodded, "really ma'am."


"You go straight to my room, yes."


"Good Mom." Sophia nodded.


"Oh yes before that, I ask you to order a yellow rose and put it in my room."


Sophia's smile faded, "there are red and white roses, why would Miss Kaluna want yellow roses?"


"I want a yellow rose."


Rizhan was stunned to hear Sophia's words while Kaluna laughed to make the two people who were there shocked.


"I want to because they're beautiful and rarely found, no other reason." Kaluna finally got out of the elevator after they reached the top floor of her office.


Rizhan's jaw hardened, whether Kaluna deliberately wanted the rose because it symbolized unfaithfulness as Sophia said. Did Kaluna want to tell the whole office that Rizhan had cheated on her and remarried.


"You want to tell everyone in the office about this?" Rizhan asked as soon as they arrived in his room while Sophia was preparing some documents that Kaluna had to study.


"About what?" Kaluna put her briefcase on the desk and turned on the computer.


"About my affair." Rizhan lowered his voice when he said of the affair.


"Why are you scared?"


"Kaluna, are you really going to tell them?"


"Is that something embarrassing to say?" Kaluna glanced at Rizhan who was walking towards her.


"Kaluna—"


"If it's embarrassing why did you do it?"


Rizhan let out a rough breath as he always lost in their debates. Whoever is wrong will lose. Moreover, Kaluna is not a weak woman whose pride can be trampled by men.


You think I'm that bad?


The door of the room opened and Sophia appeared who brought some documents to be studied and signed by Kaluna and Rizhan.


"The Great Plan company asked to change the color of the sofa because they thought the color was too bright for their already bright office walls." Sophia put down her tablet showing a picture of the sofa design they sent a week ago to the Great Plan.


Rizhan sat beside Kaluna watching Sophia's tablet closely.


"Are they too bright?" Kaluna frowned, she felt the color was fitting but if the client wanted darker then they had to obey.


"True Ma."


"Then follow their will, then what about the raw materials is there no problem?" Rizhan turned his gaze to Sophia.


"Everything doesn't matter except with the color."


"Good Sir."


Sophia's phone ringing was loud and the owner immediately asked permission to answer the phone.


"Please." Kaluna gave her permission.


"Tell me upstairs, fine, thank you." Sophia immediately disconnected and put her phone in her pocket. "The flower has come."


"Thank you Sophia." Kaluna.


Rizhan looked at the documents Sophia had brought, read them carefully before giving her an autograph.


"I'm sorry to take flowers from the courier." Sophia out of the room. Usually Kaluna likes a nightly flower or red rose to be displayed on her room table, when she heard Kaluna wanted a yellow rose, Sophia was quite surprised because unlike the usual Kaluna. But Sophia did not dare to ask more because she was only a secretary. Usually Sophia would string back on a glass vase before putting it on the workbench of Kaluna and Rizhan.


"You have to go to the factory to see the quality of our raw materials, invite Rey also do not go alone." Kaluna said to Rizhan.


"All right, I'll take Rey." Rizhan nodded.


Sophia came back with a vase of yellow roses in her hand, and she placed the brightly colored flowers on her desk.


"Sophia, please contact the Great Plan to tell them that we'll make their order soon."


"Good Miss Kaluna." Sophia took the tablet and left the room.


"I'll go first." Rizhan moved, "don't forget to eat your fried rice." He kissed the top of Kaluna's head before exiting.


For a moment Kaluna was glued to get a soft kiss from Rizhan, no hypocrite she liked it. It turns out that his love is very deep towards Rizhan, he does not want Rizhan lost from his grasp just because of the woman named Eliza. Kaluna almost cried if the door of her room was not opened by someone, it appears Astri entered with two maps in her hand.


"I look at Mr. Rizhan in the front, where are you going?" Astri approaches Kaluna's desk.


"You go to the factory."


"Only?" Astri put the map on Kaluna's desk, "this is a new design for Suka Jaya."


"I asked him to take Rey." Kaluna flipped through the paper documents from Astri. "Good, I like it." His comments.


"We are all also preparing for the anniversary of Kariz Furniture, Mr. Rizhan will be invited by the TV station to do an interview, he has also agreed to it."


Kaluna nodded in understanding, "it's good to make our company even more familiar."


Astri nodded, "I'd be happy if you could work again." He patted Kaluna on the shoulder twice.


Kaluna fell silent. Only by working can he take his mind off the tempests of his household. Kaluna can't just keep thinking about it.
