Love Coiled Stains
Dinner at Riko's

Arga had just finished contacting Sandra to ask her when she was coming home. But Sandra was busy with her business at her fashion show.

"Oh San, why do you always leave me alone like this. You said you'd try to get home sooner and spend a lot of time with me when we moved. But in fact I am alone here without anyone accompanying me" Arga said to himself.

The words of Sandra who would spend more time with him always ring in Arga's ears along with my words that always expect that Arga and Sandra deserve to be happy. And do not want any problems to their household.

"Rea, Sandra" Arga called both his wives' names.

"Why do I have two wives who contradict each other's attitudes" Her inner mind thought about the attitude of me and Sandra.

"Rea, you obedient people always don't do what I don't like. If I forbid you always give up and don't want to have a fight between us. Unselfish, with you I feel like I'm a real husband and you can respect me as your husband" His inner self again.

"While Sandra, always wants to win on her own not to listen to the advice of others. He just thinks he's the right one. If he had already said a then he would not be able to be changed again to become B. With her I cannot feel that I am a husband who must be respected and obeyed if I do not want her to do things that I do not like" she added, comparing the two of us.

Frustrated Arga he rubbed his hair to relieve dizziness in his head that thought of his two different natures of his wife.

"Rea, what do you want to eat the side dish? Let mama take it" said Rina to be sweet with me while we were having dinner together.

"Fried chicken ma" I said.

"It's darling"

"Thank you ma"

The atmosphere in the dining room was warm. I often eat with Arga's parents. But I don't know why it was such a warm night for me. Is it possible that it is because Arga who has started to open up to me and can accept me even though only as his friend only to eliminate his intimacy and loneliness but it makes me feel very happy.

Although he is not with us for dinner with us at the moment but I feel he is with you because the moment last night and morning still remembered so clearly in my mind. And when I think back on it, I become like a madman, because I smile at myself, imagining the events that make me happy.

"Assalamualaikum" Sounded the condition of someone to say hello from outside Santi's contract.

"Waalaikumsalam" answered Santi to open the door of his rented house.

A happy smile emanated on Santi's face looking at Who came to his house.

"Riko, please come in" he said warmly welcomed the arrival of his fiancee.

Riko enters Santi's house and sits on a chair in the living room.

"San, mom asked me to pick you up for dinner with us" Riko said honestly.

"really? Then you wait here first. I want to go into the room to get ready" said Santi rise to his room.

"What the heck is Riko, mother, mother, mother always mother who asks me to eat with her, this is it, she has no initiative anyway to stay with me?" Said Santi annoyed when he was already inside his room.

Well, he was so upset that Riko had absolutely no initiative to be romantic with him.

"But it's okay. Maybe Riko hasn't fully accepted me in her life. But with her mother's support I can more freely take Riko's heart. Right now I just need to be patient so that I can accept me with all my heart even though he always gives reasons that his mother, his mother, his mother. But it doesn't matter to me that it's important that I can be with Riko forever" he said, immediately getting ready to go to dinner together to Riko's house.

"Let's love I'm ready" said Santi embracing his arm Riko who was already standing in front of the door to his back at this time.

Riko was shocked when her arm was embraced by her fiance. He looked awkward as his arms were hugged.

"Darling, why are you looking at me like that?" Ask Santi.

Riko sees her arms in the hoe don't like that because it makes her uncomfortable.

"You don't like it?" Santi asked a little emotion.

Santi released his embrace on Riko's arm.

"Why? You still can't accept me completely in your life?" Ask Santi.

"This is Riko If you feel forced to accept me at your mother's insistence, we better end our engagement. Let's go see your mom, please, and you say that you are not ready to accept me in your life and still think of Rea who is obviously already the wife of that person and cannot possibly be yours" Santi again looked disappointed.

"Ko, I know you can't accept me completely and I don't want you to force yourself to accept me. For I am sure it will torment you and also you will make me hurt constantly because you accepted me by force at the insistence of your mother. I I don't want that to happen Ko, I want you to accept me sincerely, with a spacious chest not by being forced like this. I want you to be happy, I want us to be happy living this whole Ko. Not even to make us tormented. No, I don't want that to happen. Now let's go see your mother and we'll cancel to continue our wedding. We just cancel our engagement, we break up the fiancee" Pinta Santi again.

To be honest he was just bluffing Riko. Because she knew Riko wouldn't be able to say that to her mother. Riko doesn't want to make her mother sad anymore. Therefore, Riko must have collapsed and not refused him again to embrace the arm of the man he loved.

"Come on" He said again pulled Riko's hand.

"If you can't say this to your mother let me say it. Let your mother know that this child cannot accept me as her fiancee let alone her later wife"

Riko pulled her hand back.

"Sir San. I can't do that and I beg you, you don't do that either. I don't want to make my mother sad and disappointed because we broke up even our wedding was canceled. It will make my mother even more sad and disappointed. I beg you, do not you say this to my mother I will try to accept you with all my heart"

"I promise, I will try to be a good husband candidate for you later and always accompany you no matter what. And also I will forget my past just for you so that me and you can live the future together" Said Riko holding both hands Santi to convince the woman in front of him.

"Yes I promise. So please forget about that. Let's start all over again"

Santi smiled with satisfaction at Riko's words.

"It turns out my threat went well too and I'm sure you will want to be less worthy of us as happy couples like other couples" said Santi.

***

"Mother, it's late at night too. I want to go home" said Santi after they finished dinner together at Riko's house.

"Yes, it's late. More preoccupation with talking so I forgot the time" said Maya.

"Where is the risk? From earlier to his room why not come out until now did he sleep?" Ask Maya.

Well, indeed his only son was straight to his room when they finished dinner last night and until now he did not show his nose in front of the two of them.

"Maybe mom. Tired many times patients have to be treated in the hospital" said Santi trying to give understanding.

"Yes though tired, he must also nemenin you dong here.you will never come here to eat with us. After all, he was willing to leave his fiancee with his mother he did not want to accompany you like this" said Maya felt strange.

"Mom, don't force Riko too much to accept me fully at this time. He needed time to accept me and accept this situation. I know for myself his heart is now not sad because of the same marriage left by the woman he loves. So we have to understand that Riko needs time to accept all this" said Santi sok sage. Though his heart said another his heart was always jealous because Riko could not accept it wholeheartedly.

"Oh my God, you are very wise. Mom is proud of you. I'm lucky to have a daughter-in-law who can understand the situation of a mother's child like you. Mother is not wrong to choose if you are the one who deserves to be Rico's companion in the future" Praise Maya.

"Mom can do it" said Santi feeling embarrassed.

"Yes, you go to Riko's room. Tell her you want to go home and ask her to take you home" Maya advises.

"Yes buk" replied Santi without being told a second time.

***

"Riko, are you inside?" Santi slightly shouted from outside the door of Riko's room.

But there is no reply or any response from within.

"Riko, Riko" he said again, knocking on the door.

Riko opened the door to her room.

"Ko, what are you doing in the room? Are you... " Santi did not continue her words because she accidentally saw a picture of me that was still plastered on the nightstand Riko. There are some pictures of me on display there.

"Riko, you still have Rea's photo?" Santi was disappointed.

"Oh that, sorry Santi. I haven't had time to clean it up" Riko gave an excuse.

"You are, not you promised me that you would forget your past trying to accept me in your life. But you see, you see that photo. How can you forget your past if in your room alone that every day you sleep rest here still plastered real photo Rea?" Add it again.

"Whatever I try to make you accept me with all your heart, it will still be in vain. Because you have no intention in your heart to forget your past to forget your memories with Rea and cannot open your heart to me who is trying so that you can forget the past then that" Santi said again.

"You promised me" he said again.

"Yes Santi, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for all this. I'm gonna clean this up for you. For our sake" said Riko asked Santi to be sure to him.

"Please don't tell mom about this. I'll keep my promise with you. Please San" Riko pleaded.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. But this is the last one. Because honestly this heart has tired of facing you who do not want to struggle to forget your past. And you know for yourself that Rea was there happy with her husband. But look at your miserable state. You always expect him to come back into your life which is impossible" Santi said again.

"Yes you're right. It won't be possible, he won't be able to come back"

"Now, clear all this up. Anyway I don't want to see all about Rea anymore in your life. Whether it's a photo, the things he loves you or whatever else I don't want you to have anything to do with Rea. Because it will make you always remember your past and will not be able to forget it just like that"

"Yes, I'll sort this out later. Now I'll take you home first. Because it's late I'm afraid later if you come home too late you'll be the talk of your neighbors"

"Okay, I'm waiting in the living room with mom. But you remember tomorrow when I come back here again I just don't want to see anything else about Rea"

"Yes, I guarantee this won't happen again" said Riko.

"Oh, I go home first" said Santi kissing the back of the hands of his future mother-in-law bidding home when they were in the living room.

"Dear, be careful" replied Maya.

"Riko, be careful with the car. Take care of the future daughter-in-law of the mother. You are lucky you get a good and understanding wife candidate like her" said Maya praising.

Riko just smiled hearing what her mother had just said.

"Yes it's open, I'll take Santi home first yes"
