Married by Accident
Too bad

The birds chirping mornings have arrived with gentle gusts of blowing wind shaking the branches of angsana and cypress trees beside the villa. After a heavy rain yesterday, today the sun shines brightly giving a new warmth to the earth that was cold.

Last night Renjani could not sleep well despite the satiety after eating a bowl of boiled noodles. Renjani's hands extended from inside the blanket to open the nightstand drawer. He took his old cell phone which he never used again since he went here. Renjani uses another cell phone to contact Manda and her team. Even during that time Renjani did not communicate with Jesi at all.

Hundreds of messages came in when Renjani turned on the phone. Most of them from Jesi and Kelana then some messages from Yana, Lasti and Aji.

Re, where are you?

You left that fancy apartment? Your hobbies are so fuzzy, I'm worried.

Renjani smiles reading Jesi's message, the boy is indeed a brat but very attentive. Renjani continued reading messages from Kelana.

Where the hell are you going? I'm sorry, I was wrong. I explained everything to Elara that you and I will be together.

You didn't watch the show until it was over, did you? I also said the same sentence in front of the reporters.

Where you go, I'm worried, no, I'm scared.

Re, call me if you read this message.

Re, I missed you.

Re, I want to hear the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star you played.

The Alyssum you planted thrives, I will take good care of it until you come.

Yana made your favorite toast and avocado today.

It's raining today, put on some warm clothes, baby

I love you Renjani, let's raise the boy together.

I know being a parent is not easy but let's try teaching together.

There are hundreds of other messages that make Renjani not feel tearful when reading it. Renjani put the phone down because she did not want to cry for longer. It is still morning, his eyes can be swollen if he continues to cry.

Renjani gets off the bed opening the curtains for sunlight to enter her room, this is the most comfortable place in the villa.

"Kelana!" Renjani is surprised to see Kelana in front of her bedroom window. Kelana looks curled up like a fetus in the mother's stomach. Don't tell me Kelana's been here all night. Renjani thinks Kelana came home after she closed the curtains.

Last night's temperature reached 12 degrees Celsius, Kelana can freeze if it is outside overnight. Renjani runs out to Kelana.

"Kelana!" Renjani shook Kelana's body and called out to her several times, what if something bad happens to Kelana. "Wake Kelana." Renjani touched Kelana's deathly pale face, her lips turning blue.

Slowly Kelana opened her eyes, faintly she saw Renjani's face was very close to her. Smiling, is this a dream? or he was in another nature. Kelana couldn't bear the cold last night but she didn't want to leave before Renjani forgave her. She did not know if she was sleeping or fainted.

"Re?" Kelana's voice was almost inaudible.

Renjani cupped Kelana's tyrannical cheeks and looked at her for a long time. They have suffered long enough to endure longing, is not Renjani waiting for moments like this. Renjani has been thinking about Tumi's words all night, rather than holding back the increasingly suffocating longing, she prefers to return to Kelana's embrace.

"You're Renjani?" Kelana looked at Renjani in disbelief, her eyes still twitching.

"It's me."

"I'm sorry Re." Kelana kneeled holding Renjani's hand.

Renjani was surprised, "don't be like this." He asked Kelana to wake up, without kneeling even Renjani will forgive Kelana now.

"I accused you yesterday, I left you on our wedding anniversary, when your request was simple but I couldn't fulfill it, I underestimated you Renjani, I was wrong."

"Udahlah Kelana."

"Re, I can't possibly deny the presence of our son, please give me a chance to see him born then we'll take care of him together." Kelana's tears began to pool, once she blinked the tears would shed.

Renjani nodded faintly, "let's get up." No matter how much Kelana hurt him, his love was much greater.

Kelana got up and slammed into Renjani's arms. The longing was like a hardened mound of snow in the chest, but now it has finally broken down as well.

"I miss you, my wife." Whispering Kelana, he kissed the top of Renjani's head.

"Me too but you're ugly now."

Kelana unravels the embrace, her smile disappears. He also felt himself not as handsome as before.

"I feel that way too but you're getting prettier, it's not fair." When he saw Renjani attached, he could not imagine how Renjani run life without him.

Renjani laughed and rubbed her wet eyes. So happy Renjani to cry.

"You're right, can I live a while, your novel's selling on the market."

Renjani pretended to put on a haughty face, "you're going to let this pregnant woman make a living for you?"

"Of course not." After re-hugging Renjani, he has just announced that he will go on hiatus. But this meeting will make him return to his world, he has to make a lot of money for Renjani and their son.

******

Renjani shaves Kelana's mustache and beard painstakingly. He also shaved his hair so as not to be too messy.

"Lumayan." Renjani smiled satisfied to see the results of his work tidying up Kelana's hair.

"Milk?" Kelana waited for Renjani's praise but she only heard a pretty word. He has not noticed her appearance since Renjani left.

Renjani pours antiseptic on cotton to clean the wound on Kelana's cheek.

"Yes right?" Renjani did it carefully.

Kelana shook her head, it was nothing compared to being left behind by Renjani.

Renjani put a plaster on the wound, "but even though your body is thinner, you are still strong enough to make Devin fall."

"On that matter, I saw him embrace you." Kelana certainly did not accept seeing other men do that to Renjani.

Renjani can't imagine what if Kelana finds out that Devin had expressed feelings for her. Renjani does not want to try to tell Kelana, Devin can run out in Kelana's hands if that happens.

"Mandi gih, I want to help Bi Tumi cook." Renjani gives Kelana a towel.

"I want to talk to our son first." Kelana put her ear to Renjani's stomach. "It's Papa." Mumbled. "Thank you good boy for taking care of Mama all this time."

"We'll be called Mama and Papa?" Renjani has yet to specify a nickname for her, isn't Papa and Mama too mainstream.

"Other than that?"

"I want to be called Mom."

"All right, Mother." Kelana tightened her embrace, after enduring longing for months hugging all day was certainly not enough for her.

"Go take a shower there." Renjani releases Kelana's hand from her back.

Going to the bathroom by force, he still wants to be with Renjani.

Renjani borrows Edi's pants and T-shirts for his Kelana change of clothes. Although the size may be small but it does not matter, only Edi clothes can be used. There's no way Kelana's wearing Renjani's clothes.

Renjani approaches Tumi in the kitchen, rushing to help cut kale, long beans and cabbage and then wash them. While Tumi burn coconut and spices to make anointing.

The scent of onion, garlic and roasted musk spread throughout the kitchen, Renjani can't wait to enjoy breakfast today.

"The book is too small to go?" Tumi asked.

"Not yet used Bi, Kelana still shower."

Tumi was happy because Kelana and Renjani finally made up although that means he will be left alone again with Edi in this villa. Tumi loved Renjani like a child. Only Renjani has stayed here the longest. Previously for only one week at most, it made Tumi feel heavy left behind by Renjani.

"When are you going back to Jakarta?" Tumi asked, he wanted to prepare himself for it.

"We haven't discussed it Bi, maybe we'll stay here first." Renjani likes all the things in this villa, after all Kelana does not have a work schedule after deciding on a hiatus. "I like it here." Renjani embraces Tumi from the side.

Tumi smiled, he often heard Renjani say that.

Corn rice, vegetable ointment and fried chicken have been presented on the table plus tofu, tempeh and sambal kecombrang as a complement have been presented on the table. This is a special breakfast, Tumi deliberately cooks a lot because there is Kelana.

"You have to eat a lot." Renjani takes rice, anointing and fried chicken for Kelana. "You've never eaten corn rice, have you?"

Tumi and Edi were surprised to hear Kelana had never eaten corn rice before when it was a traditional Indonesian food.

"Is this delicious?" Kelana hesitated to see the appearance of corn rice in front of her.

"Try it, you'll add it many times." Renjani is sure Kelana will love Tumi's cooking. According to him, the most delicious Tumi-made anointing in the world, it is not more than just that, but in fact.

Kelana tried a mouthful consisting of kale, long beans, cabbage and bean sprouts. The aroma of kencur dominates, the savory taste of the head combined with the sweetness of brown sugar and a little spicy. New first feed but Kelana sure anointing and corn rice will be her favorite food.
