Marriage to the Enemy
The Part 35
Ricky takes Renata to the beach after lunch. Today, the seminar only contains suave because the core event is finished. So, Ricky will take his wife around tourist destinations in Bali.
Kuta Beach this afternoon is crowded by tourists both from abroad and within the country. Even the beach is now like a sea of people. However, the number of tourists now stands at only half that number from a few years ago, before the Covid virus emerged.
"We'll just sit there!" take Ricky with him while he hugs his wife's waist.
They walked towards a shady tree, where the clam trinkets seller sat peddling his wares. They sit on young coconut waste that is still freshly misted. Renata sat on the husband's shoulder.
Renata immediately opened his shoes, as well as Ricky. They put their shoes not far from them.
"You want young coconuts?" Ricky offered his wife a drink.
"May, but the original. Scorching heat do not drink ice, it will hurt easily," said Renata with a sweet smile.
Today it seems like Renata's mood is in a very good state. Ever since Ricky entered the room and took her out, Renata seemed meek like a woman in general. Ricky hopes this goes on forever.
Ricky rushed to buy two original young coconuts, without ice cubes and added sugar. Ricky and Rena both love young coconut water with an original taste. Young coconut water that is still original, has many properties for our bodies.
Someone who knows the benefits of pure coconut water, will prefer the original young coconut compared to young coconut ice with added sugar.
Young coconut water has many benefits for the health of our body. Such as, slowing the aging process, regulating cholesterol levels and blood pressure, good for digestion, preventing kidney stone disease, eliminating free radicals in the body, and replacing lost body fluids. In addition, it can also support the health of our organs.
It did not take long for Ricky to buy a young coconut, which was only a few steps from where he was sitting. Ricky opened the young coconut himself. He just wanted to make sure that the coconut water was truly original.
"Hmm, fresh!" said Renata after drinking some of the young coconut water given by Ricky.
"Strong heat like this is suitable for drinking young coconut water, Yank. Natural drinks are really healthy. We don't worry about getting sick after drinking" Ricky said as he played a pipette.
Suddenly the merchant who had been sitting near them, approached to offer his merchandise. The trinkets are in the form of key chains, jewelry boxes, bracelets, hats and various other eye souvenirs.
"Mas, buy a keychain? Make a gift from my college," whine Renata.
"Take what you want and like! Don't ask me anymore, honey," replied Ricky giving his wife freedom to shop.
Rena took out some keychains and some bracelets. Ricky who saw just scrunched his forehead. Such a small item is what it means for college friends Rena.
"Indeed your friend wants only to be given a bracelet with a key chain? What kind of cake does it look valuable? Judging from the price is not how much," asked Ricky once finished paying for the wife's groceries that are not up to two hundred thousand.
"Yes don't see the price dong, Mas. The gift is judged by the magnitude of our memory to those who receive it. They do not see the price of the goods given, but they judge from our intentions when giving them," explained Rena patiently.
"Is that what your friends are like, honey? Good yes, have friends who appreciate us not from the price of the goods we give. Such a friend must be maintained" said Ricky began to understand about his wife.
"Makanya Mas, if you find a friend, do not be from the upper class only. The lower middle economy must also be embraced. Like earlier, we buy these things, it means we have helped him. Through us he can earn a fortune. Therefore, if we see a small trader whose trade has not been sold, we must buy. By spending on them, we have indirectly helped solve his economic problems." Rena explained with a fluffy smile so Ricky could easily understand.
"Dine! Steady! My wife is the best! It turned out that God loved me so much that I was given an angel of heaven as beautiful and as good as her," said Ricky with tears ready to spill over his cheeks because of the happy mix of haru.
"What the hell, Mas! Lebay," said Rena as her husband praised her.
"Kok lebay? I'm saying what it is" said Ricky quickly.
"Mas, let's go there yuk! The cake is good to play with water," said Renata while pointing near the beach.
Renata walks down the beach laughing happily. Ricky follows wherever the wife goes. As Renata was walking backwards, his back hit someone.
"Sorry, sister," said Rena immediately turned around.
"Have no eyes? Beautiful eyes blind!" yelled the man Rena hit.
A woman wearing a bikini in a man's arms.
"Hey, my wife has apologized. Why are you even scolding her?" ricky shouted, not accepting his wife being yelled at by others.
"If you don't want to be yelled at by people, if the road is his eyes forward so as not to hit people! Already know the wrong wife even defended, do not box lo!" the man who hugged the woman who was hit by Rena earlier.
Ricky sharpened his vision, it seemed like he knew the man who had cursed him.
"Faro! Lo Faro, right, Alif Alfaruq?" ricky shouted suddenly.
The man called Faro squinted one eye. Stare at Ricky without blinking.
"The Jungle Road! Remember?" ricky said, reminding him of his mischief while wearing a blue white uniform.
It was the beginning that he got to know the world of wild racing, and finally he was able to get to know the engine and vehicle modifications.
"Lo who?" ask the man called Faro.
"Gue Ricky's. Inglet?"
"Ricky, Ricky .. I remember Ricky was a spoiled kid whose body was the smallest among us. Even so he's the smartest and most reliable if we have a problem" said the man while trying to remember the past.
"The smallest body but clean skin, clever brain and finally called Kancil ...."
"Is this really Ricky Kancil? How you doing, Bro?" yelled Faro happy.
"Yes, it's me. BTW I'm sorry?"
"Safin dong! Sorry, I had a reflex," replied Faro laughing.
Eventually they exchanged numbers and made a dinner appointment at a restaurant not far from the place.
Ricky and Rena are back on the beach. Suddenly Ricky's gaze is fixed on a middle-aged man whose sedan passes a ball to his son. How surprised Ricky when he saw the papa with women and a teenager who is very familiar.
