Married by Accident
A good tip

An hour has passed since Renjani sat in the waiting chair at the private television studio where Maia works. Renjani has already contacted Maia that she will come from this. Renjani knows Maia is super busy so she has to be patient waiting longer.

Renjani was amazed at Maia because of her busyness, she still had time to write. A great writer like Maia whose work Renjani once enjoyed, his novel should be published in Asmara Publishing.

Since first meeting Maia, Renjani was immediately interested in publishing the novel. Renjani must successfully negotiate with Maia.

"Mbak Renjani."

Renjani turned her head to hear Maia's voice, she immediately developed a smile and shook the hand of the woman her age.

"Sorry to make Mbak Renjani wait a long time."

"I'm the one who came to a tadpole when you said that today will be very busy."

"Why did I meet you?"

Renjani invites Maia to sit down before she says the reason why she wants to meet.

"I just opened a publishing company and if you're willing, I'd really like to publish a Meet Sunshine novel." Renjani to the point for not taking Maia longer.

For a moment Maia was flabbergasted at Renjani's remark, "I am honored by the offer but instead of me refusing, Ma'am knows the novel is not so popular, the readers are less than 200 thousand."

"Your novel is good."

Maia smiled awkwardly, "i've never heard anyone say that before."

"I can't just choose a novel, I'm sure your novel has its own readers—n't much doesn't mean it's not good."

"Where if my novel does not sell, I am afraid that the company will lose."

"Don't be pessimistic." Renjani touched Maia's thigh. "I'll give you some time to think, but I really hope you'll work with Asmara Publishing."

Maia smiled as Renjani gave her time to think before making a decision.

"Thank you Renjani." Now Maia understands why Kelana chose Renjani to be his wife. Raise a friendly and kind woman.

"Call Rere aja."

"Ah yes Re." Maia is a little clumsy, he feels less polite if calling Renjani without frills Mbak.

"I'm sorry, sorry to take your time." Renjani took one stick and moved from there.

"Absolutely not a problem, I'm taking it forward huh?"

"Don't you be busy too." Reject Renjani.

"Be careful Mbak—eh Rere."

Renjani's phone shook long as the owner entered the elevator which would take her down to the first floor. Although wearing Renjani stick is quite nimble because he is used to it.

Renjani reached into her bag to pick up the phone, she saw Kelana's name plastered on her phone screen.

"Hello." Renjani clasped her phone in her shirt.

"Udah finished?"

"Well, this is me coming down, are you home?" Renjani does not accompany Kelana today as she also has affairs. I don't mind because of that either.

"I'm in front."

"Which front?"

"Front of the studio, pick you up."

"Oh, I think you're home first." The corner of Renjani's lips lifted.

"I'm waiting downstairs, slow walk."

Renjani disconnects and reinserts her phone. Apparently Kelana knew that this cripple could not rush.

Renjani's face heated up, it felt strange that someone had picked her up when she came home from work. Although this is not his office, but Renjani's arrival here is also for work.

The elevator door opened, moving up to the wall giving room for the three women who got into the elevator.

One of those women was Emma with her manager and assistant. Seeing Renjani there made Emma uneasy. Emma is afraid that Renjani will find out that she was the one behind the accident.

"You're here too?" Emma greets Renjani first, only to answer her curiosity.

"Eh, yes." If not reprimanding him first, Renjani would not have realized that it was Emma.

"Only?" Emma is astonished to see Renjani herself, for what Renjani went to the television station alone.

"Yes." Yeah."

Emma mangosteen, judging from the reaction Renjani seems Kelana did not tell about the accident. Renjani could have been angry as soon as she saw Emma but at this moment she looked calm.

Upon reaching the lobby, Renjani sees Kelana standing at the door. It felt like Renjani wanted to run and embrace that burly body. But of course it only exists in the delusion of Renjani. He can't do that, here— at the moment.

As soon as he saw Renjani, he widened his smile without realizing that he was currently wearing a mask. A wasted smile.

"Have you been waiting here long?"

"Just now." Kelana's hand, which had been hiding behind her back, stretched out a bouquet of pink Peony flowers to Renjani.

"Right flowers?" Renjani gawked, she felt that there was something strange about Kelana. Even yesterday's roses haven't withered, Kelana's been buying flowers again. "Do you like flowers anymore?"

"Take it." Slightly pushing the bouquet into Renjani's body, he was embarrassed that the people around them were starting to see. Luckily, Kelana wears a mask.

"Let's get something to eat, I'm a laper." Renjani goes first.

"Eat what?" Kelana.

Renjani did not answer immediately, she got in the car and pulled out her phone. While waiting for Maia earlier, Renjani saw a photo of food on Pinterest that looked tantalizing.

"Let's eat this." Renjani showed a photo of a plate of rice with brownish-colored salmon, peas, and pieces of avocado sprinkled with black sesame. "Look at the picture, it's drooling."

"Pan Seared Salmon, I know the restaurant that sells the menu, Mr. Dayat please stop at the front restaurant after the fork."

"Good Mas." Dayat.

Renjani smiled broadly and thanked Kelana.

"Where's Maia?"

"He still hasn't given me an answer."

"I want Maia to be the first author of Asmara Publishing."

"Yes but you can't understand him."

"Yes but I can seduce him."

"Both are the same."

"It's different."

"What difference?"

"You told me to marry you, if you want to make a song for Elara, you already know the difference, right?"

Going through a loud breath, their debate always led to Elara. Leaning his head against the chair, he would not speak again.

The two remained silent until they reached the restaurant. Kelana ordered the menu that Renjani showed her earlier for 4 people. It just so happened that Yana and Dayat had not eaten so they had eaten together at the restaurant.

"Please." A waiter delivers pan seared salmon and orange squash.

"Mas Lana forgot a message without avocado?" Yana looks at Kelana's plate, her boss doesn't like avocados.

"You don't want avocado?" Ask Renjani.

Kelana nodded.

"I want to." Renjani brought the plate closer to Kelana to move the avocado there. He could eat anything even if there was a grasshopper in front of him he would definitely eat as well.

Kelana moved all her avocado pieces to Renjani's plate.

"You want meat too?" Go about moving the salmon pieces.

"What do you eat?" Renjani immediately pulled the plate back, the most delicious part of the plate was the shiny brown-looking salmon meat. Even so Renjani does not want to eat Kelana's.

"Eat rice with beans."

Renjani sneered, she could not let Kelana just eat rice and beans even though Kelana paid for all this.

After they were more silent, there was only friction between the spoon and the plate. They enjoy each other's food.

Renjani orders Palmier to take home even though his stomach is fully filled. Renjani keep watch if she starves in the middle of the night. He will also give the pastry to Desty because they will go to the library.

*******

The smell of the books reawakened Renjani's old memory while working here two years ago. The Edelweiss Library is the most convenient working place for Renjani. Finally today he can visit him even with the reason to accompany Kelana to do a routine activity reading books on Wednesday afternoon.

It took a long time to get rid of his fear of entering the library after a fire a few months ago. He must fight his fears if he does not want to be haunted by trauma for the rest of his life. It is not easy but the existence of Renjani makes Kelana sure that everything will be fine.

"Mister Rere!" Desty screeched to see Renjani and Kelana making people who were seriously reading suddenly look at him. Upon awakening, Desty immediately smothered her mouth.

"How are you?" Renjani hugs Desty after not seeing her for a long time.

"Well, I'm so happy to see that you're cured."

Renjani smiled, she placed the package on the table containing Palmier which she bought at the restaurant earlier.

"Make you, eat at home but yes." Renjani does not forget the library regulations that must not bring any food or drink.

"Well, thanks Mommy." Desty smiled widely, at first glance he looked admiring the good looks of Kelana behind her mask. Renjani is the luckiest woman to be married to Kelana. It is the dream of many women.

Renjani fills in the list of visitors' names on the tablet that has been provided.

"Well, what do you read?" Ask Renjani to Kelana after writing her name and Kelana's name on the visitor list.

"The novel that time was not finished."

"I've read all the series."

"Because you work here." He went first to look for the book he will read today.

Renjani stepped into the novel by an Indonesian writer. He took a red-coated book with a picture of a long-haired girl. The novel, Tokyo and the Celebration of Sadness, has been on the list of must-read novels since it was first released 2 years ago. But because so many books that enter the library, Renjani so forgotten.

Kelana and Renjani sat face to face in a chair by the window. The Dancing in the Rain song was heard all over the world. The Edelweiss library is already attached to Kelana songs.

"Kelana, the male character is just like you, the violinist as well." Bisik Renjani on Kelana who looked seriously reading.

Kelana just glanced at Renjani for a moment without replying to anything. He had to spend 2 hours in the library to read the novel to completion. He was lazy to bring home a book because he would not have time to read.

Kelana took her eyes off the book in her hand when she heard Renjani snot a few times.

"Why?" Kelana frowned seeing Renjani tear up. They only read books but why could Renjani cry like that. "You got sick feet?"

Renjani shook her head, she wiped her gauze tears. Renjani should not have read the novel here, she was ashamed because Kelana saw her crying.

"The story is sad."

When she held her breath, she thought that something was so painful that it made Renjani cry.

"Let's go home." Kelana takes the novel in Renjani's hands and returns it to its original place.

"I'm not done yet."

"Next Sunday, I don't want to see you cry anymore." Kelana is still traumatized to see Renjani lying in a hospital bed and crying in pain until midnight. Now Renjani is crying just because of a book, it makes Kelana upset.

The sky was already dark when they reached the apartment. During the trip Renjani overslept due to satiety and crying. Kelana had no choice but to carry Renjani upstairs. Kelana did not have the heart to wake Renjani who just slept.

"Mas Lana sure you want to carry Mpa Rere up?" Yana asked hesitantly as they got inside the private elevator.

"Watch another gym, you forgot? he's been to my body so carrying around like this isn't a problem."

"Every night you also hit my body." Renjani talks like a delirious person, she is conscious and not but she can hear Kelana's words.

Goes running, every night? Renjani is overrated.

Yana who was standing beside Kelana held back a laugh, she became embarrassed because it was not appropriate to hear something like this.

Kelana smothered Renjani's mouth so as not to speak anymore. Especially saying such an embarrassing thing.

Kelana threw Renjani's body into the bed, quite a sore also carried Renjani from the basement to the 25th floor. Kelana had to invite Renjani to exercise with him to lose weight. Usually when Kelana go to the gym that is still in the building Renjani is still sleeping.
