Life After Married's
Chapter 156

"You lied to Dinda, actually you know! Their relationship was from the beginning but you don't want to tell me. Maybe if I knew this from the beginning I could stop it. But now ... it's too late. Rey's gone and I'm sure she's with that woman. I just feel sorry for Bian, he's a kid, don't you think of that as Dinda?" 

A second Dinda's eyes glared, staring intently at the woman before her. 

"Did you forget? In the past, Syena was also a child did you think of that?" 

Instantly his lips were silent. Their sharp eyes stared at each other. Velove, never thought about her treatment in the past. Is it possible that Velove, will reflect on realizing the mistake and apologize, or vice versa. His hard heart hated Dinda.

"So right, you already know about their relationship?" 

"If you keep asking me that, it's useless, because I don't know where it is. You better go, find Rey somewhere else." 

"I'll wait here, I'm sure Rey, will come." 

"What do you want?" ask Dinda annoyed. Instead of answering, all Velove did was pick up her phone, try to contact Rey, and will tell her if she's at Dinda's residence, to have Rey come. 

But Dinda put up with it, by taking over the phone. 

"What do you mean call Rey!" 

"Because I'm sure if Rey, knows where I am now she'll come." 

"You better go! Just take care of your problems with Rey. Don't bring that problem to my house. Go!" 

Exasperatedly Velove stood up, those sharp eyes glared at Dinda. Then he took his cell phone and left. 

Dinda's body sat weakly, along with that rough breath he exhaled. His eyes closed for a moment to calm his heart.

Elsewhere Rio and Karin were sitting side by side. The gaze of the two was fixed on Syena who was playing the swing. Every now and then Rio's netra stole a glance, his hands used to dare to hug, grasp, yet not for now. Who could only look at him in silence.

"I'm getting married in the near future" Rio said, making Karin turn her head instantly. 

"Married?" asked Karin who was still surprised by Rio's confession. Rio, glanced at her then nodded. 

"Yes," he answered flatly.

"Welcome I hope you'll be happy, with the woman of your choice." Karin was nervous. Somehow his heart was so sick, his breathing felt tight and tears began to stem. But still try to hold it. 

Rio, smile miris. That's not the answer he wants to hear. 

"woman choice? I don't even know who that woman is. We were married and did not know each other at all. Are you sure I'll be happy?" 

"Yes, the choice of parents is the best choice. Not necessarily, marrying the woman you love your life will be happy. Like me, I love Vikram and I'm still married without my parents' blessing. I'm sure I'll be happy with him but in fact my relationship ran aground, he betrayed me, even hurt me. So stick to your parents' choices." 

"Yes, you're right. That's why I accepted this match. The parents' choice will not be wrong." 

That is what Rio felt. I want her to hear 'Fight with me, I beg you to cancel that matchmaking' those words Karin said. But it was actually the congratulations that Karin said.

"Then what about you? Are you getting married soon too?" 

"Eitherway. I haven't thought about it." 

"Do you still love that man?" 

A second their eyes meet. Karin was silent, while Rio kept looking. 

"Love? The wound that was inflicted on this stomach I still remember. Bad events are still imagined. Do I look like I still love her? It's the fear I feel, not love." 

Well, the shadows of the past are still haunting him. Even every night the nightmare was always present, all this time Karin's life was still not calm. 

"I'm sorry to go to the toilet for a second, please take care of Syena." Rio, just shut up as Karin left. While Karin stepped quickly into the toilet around the park. 

A second his body fell weakly on the floor surface, a dam of tears held back a second spilled. The claustrophobic breath began to rise and fall balancing his emotions. 

Pretending to be happy, his heart aches when he hears the man he loves is getting married. Likewise with Rio, a drop of clear granules fell from the corner of his eyes. 

"Of! About crying?" 

Rio, immediately wiped his tears away while Syena was nearby. 

"I saw Om." 

"Om's eyes glimmers." 

"Oh, where's Aunty Om?" syena asked, her head turned to look for Karin. 

"To the toilet" Rio replied. 

Not long after Karin came, who told her that Syena should go home soon. Because Dinda's waiting. They left together, Rio and Karin were silent, there was no conversation between them but silence.

"Mom Dinda?" call Ijah to wake Dinda, who is asleep in front of the porch. His eyes blink while holding the back of the neck that is painful because it is leaning against the wall. 

"Bus."

"Mom Dinda why sleep here?" 

"Bi's sleep, just find Auntie there isn't. Is Syena home yet?" 

"Don't know Mom, new aunt nyampe. Buy a young mango same orange order Bu Dinda." Said Bi Ijah who showed both bags of crackle shopping. 

"Oh yes. Make it easy now, Bi." 

"Yes Mom. But Miss Dinda ate, right?" 

"It's been squared." 

"Yes, Auntie went inside first. Make the dish." Dind nodded, Bi Ijah stepped into the house. 

Dinda was already standing and was about to step up, but Willy's arrival, made her stop to wait for her husband. 

Willy got out of the car and walked towards Dinda, who was smiling at him. 

"Just come home?" tanya Dinda, who immediately kissed the back of her husband's hand. 

"What are you out there?" 

"Wait Syena, sleep. Where's the syena, Mas?" 

"Shena hasn't come home yet?" 

"Not yet." 

"So I told Karin to pick her up, I thought I was home. Let me call again" he said, ready to pick up a cell phone to call Karin. But it was delayed, because Karin and Rio had already come. 

Syena got out of the car running, screaming for her mom and dad. While Willy, was surprised by the togetherness of Rio and Karin. 

"Papa's mom I was walking around the same time as Om and Aunty." 

"Where do you think you are. Karin thank you for picking me up. There's Rio too?" 

"Why are you together?" asked Willy who was directly answered Rio. 

"Aren't you texting me, and you're texting Karin too?" 

Willy understood, then laughed. 

"I don't think you got that message. Yes, I asked Karin to pick up Syena. It turns out you guys are together, you should be happy dong Rio." 

"So you also made the car tires deflated?" 

"I don't know about that." Willy dodged while shaking quickly. 

They also entered the house. Dinda took Karin to her room. And when he arrived in the room, Karin's cry broke again while hugging his best friend. 

Dinda doesn't understand what happened to Karin. After her crying subsided, Dinda tried to ask what kind of problem Karin was facing. And the answer Karin gave was shocking.
