Not A Perfect Marriage
CHAPTER 29 THE PASSAGE
Riko peeked into the room. Riko immediately breathed a sigh of relief at last his wife was willing to forgive Rio.
"I've always educated them into adult men but you treat them like your little son" lamented Riko who was happy to resign. Amanda fell asleep with her two sons asleep on her side. Rio on the left side while Arfan on the right side both seem to guard Amanda.
Riko closed the door. Riko was grateful to the thought of telling Sena the candidate otherwise Sena would definitely disturb and affect Rio.
Riko came down the stairs and happened to be at the end of the stairs there was Bram who really wanted to see Riko. Bram himself feels anxious but what he wants to say is not his business, Bram is afraid that if he intervenes, it makes things worse.
"Ri, is it over?"
"It seems like it is, sorry your arrival at this house is not as usual. I am also confused as to how. I know Sena is arguably less polite but Sena Rio and Rio's choice of being happy with Sena, we can't possibly snatch Rio's happiness"
"They're adults you think are Amanda. You know for yourself that Amanda's very fragile"
"You're right but there's one more thing I have to worry about"
"Who?"
"Arphan. I want to find a mate for Arfan, can you help?"
"I'll try"

Parkland
".... hide it from me?"
Angel woke up from her daydream and turned to Rey. Rey is still waiting for Angel's answer.
"El?"
"Nobody I'm just imagining the pantry dress I'm going to wear at our wedding"
Rey smiled and ruffled Angel's bangs. Angel is guilty of not being honest with Rey because Angel does not want Rey to be burdened with all this that might affect Rey's life.
"I promise you at our wedding, you'll wear a very intimate wedding dress"
"Thank you"
Angel's smile makes Rey love Angel even more. Rey gently stroked Angel's left cheek slowly Rey's hand down while looking up Angel's chin. Rey brought her face closer to Angel's. Angel closed her eyes. Warm breath Rey felt Angel and for a second Angel felt a soft touch on her lips.
..
Angel smiled happily feeling the happiness she felt now treating her heart wound. Rey is also impatient to wait for her wedding day and play with the fruits of her love with Angel.
"You happy?"
"Have you asked! yes, I'm obviously happy"
"Cirain"
"What chain?"
"Nothing"
Rey pulls Angel into her arms and if possible Rey doesn't want to take off this hug. It was very exciting for Rey to bring Angel home if only her Papa did not give such conditions would have asked Rey to be married this month as well.
"Thank you Rey. I love you"
Angel hugged Rey equally tightly. Angel can hear Rey's heartbeat beating fast maybe Rey feels gurgling.
"I love you my sweet angel"
Rey remembered the words of her mother who told her to go home today and Rey was confused to say what more Rey did not want Angel to cry.
Rey sighed making Angel look up at Rey.
"Why you?"
"My dear"
"Hemm"
"I'm sorry I'm going home today"
Angel's heart stopped for a second after hearing Rey's words. Rey wants to go home and today Angel still wants to be with Rey. Angel slowly took off her embrace along with tears that soaked her cheeks.
"El?"
Rey took off her embrace instantly wiping away Angel's tears. Angel is sobbing in front of Rey making Rey feel guilty.
"To..napa? a. I mm. still want to be with you"
"Darling don't cry, you promised"
Even though Rey said that, Rey's tears also came down. Rey felt hard to leave Angel even for a while, but the longing she felt had not poured all but now she had to go again.
"Don't go" Angel asked, but Rey shook her head slowly because she had to leave.
"I want to stay but I have to prove to our parents that I'm ready to be your husband. I have to teach Papa a lot so that later I will be a reliable man you and our children later after that I will come back to pick you up. We'll be happy together forever"
Angel shook Rey's hand and ran away. Angel doesn't want Rey to leave again if Rey leaves who will look after her and comfort her.
Angel sits on the garden bench. Both of her hands were worn to cover her face and were still crying.
Rey approached Angel. He knelt in front of Angel.
"El, I beg you not to be like this so I can't bear to leave you in this condition"
Rey held Angel's hands tightly together. Angel looked at Rey with a pleading gaze.
"Honey, we can video call every day so don't be sad. I will always miss you. Don't cry"
Rey wipes Angel's tears with a smile on her face.
"Promise you'll be back"
"Yes my darling"
....
Angel's House
Rey is bidding on Jihan and Erik. Both of Angel's parents want Rey to stay here longer, but Rey has to go home.
"Jagain my future wife yah Tan" Rey said with a heavy heart. Honestly Rey did not have the heart to leave Angel with this condition but she had to go home and prepare all for her marriage and future with Angel.
"You don't have to worry, you take care of yourself there"
"Yes Tan. Um, Rey's saying goodbye"
"Take care of yourself and meet him first"
Rey understood what Erik meant. Rey walked up the stairs to meet Angel.
...
Angel's Room
Angel was still crying. He does not want Rey to go away from him anymore especially Rey has proposed to him. Angel was happy and upset Rey could always make him laugh and cry. It used to be a week before Rey moved to Bali, Rey made Angel as if her queen everything Angel asked for was definitely obeyed and Angel was very happy.
And at the park also Rey say goodbye to leave when Angel was crying like that and Rey was the one who calmed Angel.
"Why does this hurt more than Rio did? is it because I love Rey but since when did I meet her?"
Angel was silent and looked back at what she had done with Rey. Everything feels beautiful and fun and there is a feeling of longing when Rey does not go to school and also anxious about him.
"Why did I realize all this!" angel is upset with himself. Angel still remembered when MOS High School seniors challenged their juniors to express their feelings to their loved ones and Rey immediately came forward and expressed love to Angel but Angel thought it was it's just a joke that Rey used to play especially the atmosphere that impressed humor so Angel did not feel the seriousness of Rey.
"Rey"
Angel held a ring in her necklace. Angel feels herself wanting to continue with Rey building a real household ark unlike a pseudo-marriage with Rio.
"I don't care, I want to be happy with the people I love"
Angel took off the necklace and took the ring. Angel took a deep breath and then threw it slowly to calm herself after feeling calm Angel immediately put on Rey's cover ring and means Angel received Rey's proposal.
Angel wiped away her tears and along with that Rey entered Angel's room.
"Make it a promise"
Angel looked straight at the door. Rey smiled as she walked towards Angel.
"I'm not crying" Angel's elak is clearly visible on her face. Rey sat down next to Angel. Rey saw her application ring was already in Angel's sweet day.
"That?"
"I'm turning your necklace around"
Angel put the necklace back on Rey's neck. Actually the necklace belonged to Angel that Angel gave before Rey moved to Bali. At first Angel did not believe this necklace was his gift but when looking more carefully Angel finally convinced.
"You're still wearing it"
"This is your gift, so you accept it?"
"Yes"
"Then it means my sleep will not be soundly dong. You are this"
"Belgium"
cup
Angel immediately kissed Rey's right cheek and made Rey's smile inflate perfectly but Rey instead tapped her lips as if to be let out again.
"No!" reject Angel directly but for a second he felt his blood heating up. Rey kissed her lips long enough. Rey took off the kiss on Angel's lips.
"I'm glad you accepted my proposal. You want to wait for me?"
"Yes"
"Thank you for my love"
Rey pulls Angel into her arms.
Angel also returned Rey's embrace. It feels so good to hug someone dear.
...
Angel waved at Rey's car. Jihan and Etik know that her daughter is very sad but it seems Rey is able to calm Angel's heart.
"Darling let's go in"
Angel followed her parents into the house.
23:30
Angel can't sleep yet her mind keeps on going to Rey. Rey has not yet given any news.
Angel smiled got a short message from Rey that basically Rey has reached home without any lack of anything and told Angel to sleep maybe Rey knows that Angel is looking after her.
In accordance with what Rey told Angel was immediately asleep before Angel replied to Rey's message.
....
Parkland
Angel is sitting on the garden bench playing Rey's gift ring. Not a day but Angel already felt missed to Rey especially Rey always made him upset and happy because that feels empty Angel now.
"Angels"
Angel was shocked and then turned to see who was the person he hated the most. Angel immediately left but the man kept calling her name upset Angel.
"What else do you want Rio?" angel said without looking at Rio.
"You don't want to see Sania?"
"Saina?"
Angel seems confused by Rio who always plays with his feelings.
"Have you forgotten your own son?"
Angel turned to look at Rio. In Rio's left hand was a small doll and a small bouquet of pink roses.
"But you said?"
"Yes he's gone but don't you want to make a pilgrimage to his grave? I'm here to take you, do you want to come?"
Angel nodded then walked following Rio. Angel hates Rio but Angel is a mother who longs for her biological child despite being different from the world.
..
Rio Car
Throughout the journey only a silent and silent Angel and Rio did not say a word even though they were still husband and wife.
Angel looked out at the sight he had not seen before. Rio glanced towards Angel. He was surprised to see the ring in Angel's sweet finger.
"Who's the ring from?"
Angel was shocked and hid the ring she was wearing with her other hand.
"You don't need to know" Angel answered flatly. Somehow this car feels hot to make Rio open one button shirt and lower the temperature of the car AC. Rio was dreaming of that time.
"That's the ring from the young man?"
"I told you it's none of your business so understand!"
Angel was very upset with Rio. Angel just wanted to meet her son that was nothing more.
"OK but I just want to remind you that you're still my wife" Rio said in a tweet. Angel clenched her hand, nor could she do much Rio was unwilling to divorce her.
"You didn't sleep with her, did you?"
Angel immediately stared intently at Rio's collar. Rio did not care about Angel who was looking at him sharply just focused on the streets.
"Ck! so you consider me that low then why don't you divorce me!"
Rio immediately braked his car suddenly then looked at Angel.
"I won't divorce you!"
"But I don't want to be your wife anymore! I would have a husband like you!"
"Take a look at that!"
"You got glass? you start, I HATE YOU!"angel shouted annoyed and made Rio get more up black.
"I want to be happy with the person I love but it's not you, YOU MONSTER WHO ONLY HURTS ME!!"
"YOU!!!"
Angel instantly closed her eyes as Rio raised his right hand as if wanting to slap her. Rio's hand stopped in the air. Rio saw a frightened Angel like this instantly lowering his hand.
Second. two seconds...
"Let's understand I'm not going to divorce you so don't talk about this anymore"
After saying Rio immediately turned to Angel. Angel threw away face. It sounded like Rio was breathing.
Rio returned to run his car to where Saina was buried.
20 Minutes passed and they finally arrived. Angel is walking behind Rio. Angel looks around and suspects that this is an elite cemetery can be seen from the atmosphere that is not creepy and the tombs are preserved.
"It's over, you're the one who loves"
Rio instantly handed the flowers and the doll to Saina. Angel received Rio's gift. Angel squatted down next to the small tomb.
"What are you doing? mommy and dad brought you a gift"
Angel placed the doll and the bouquet of flowers on Saina's grave. Angel tried to smile but her tears could not be held back. The tears were now wetting her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Mama can't take care of you"
Angel still remembers when she was pregnant and the movements of her tiny baby who played her stomach. Angel grabbed his chest and then.
"El, don't be like this!"
Angel hugged the mound of earth that began to flatten with the ground. Angel was crying loudly. Rio tried to calm Angel but his efforts were in vain, Angel did not want to comply.
"El, let's go home"
"Don't want me to stay here, I'll take care of Saina"
"El, she'll be sad to see you like this. Saina now just needs our prayers"
Angel confirmed his position. Angel looked at Rio with a hard to interpret look. Rio wiped away the tears as well as the ground that stuck to Angel's cheeks.
"I invite you here not to be sad but to remember our baby that's all"
Rio helped Angel stand up but Angel's legs were weak Rio was immediately carrying Angel's body leaving Saina's grave.
...
After the tomb. Angel kept quiet and sad. Rio who saw Angel like this regretted inviting Angel to Saina's death.
"Where is your house?"
"Stop here"
"I'll take you home"
"Not necessary"
Because Angel who asked Rio also marginalized his car. Without saying a word, Angel got out of the car.
Rio who could not bear to follow Angel from behind and as much as possible did not make Angel suspicious. Rio himself wants to know where Angel's house is so that Sena can persuade Angel back home.
Angel walked slowly down the lonely streets of her heart. Because Rio now Angel again remembered the baby who accompanied him and the person who had killed the baby.
"Why is my life like this? I want to be happy with someone who really loves me and loves me but why can't I"
Angel looked at the sky as if laughing at him and still remembered under the same sky he made a promise with Rio but it was just a speech. Rio only wants Angel's child and doesn't want it but Rio doesn't want to divorce Angel.
"Ri why? why did you hurt me like this, you said you were gonna take care of me but what? you're making me uncomfortable"
Angel walked back and this time Angel walked quickly because Angel saw there were some people in black shirts talking to his parents.
"They're who?"
Angel's eyes were round when one of the men in black shirt hit Erik.
"DAD!!"
triak Angel ran towards Erik. Angel pushes the guy who has hit Erik.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Erik groaned in pain. Angel looked at Jihan who was being held in both hands by two men who looked very creepy.
"Whose mom are they?"
"Your father was splashing money with our boss but he didn't want to pay" said the man who hit Erik.
"I paid for everything!"
"That's the new flower!"
"What's? Well. You borrow money from loan sharks?"
Angel did not think Erik buy money to a loan shark who is notoriously cruel and willing to give a larger interest than borrowed.
"Sorry Dad. I had to"
A man watches from inside the car. The man looked at Angel with a suspicious look. The man got out of the car and approached his men.
"Wow, who is this? I just saw"
The man approached Angel making Angel fear hiding behind Erik. Erik tries to protect his daughter, and Erik somehow feels something strange. Erik saw Jihan crying.
"I'm scared, pretty"
Men smile pervertedly towards Angel makes Angel feel more afraid.
"Umm, what if your son becomes my wife and I pay off all your debts"
"What?"
Erik did not end his mind with the words of the people before him.
"I don't want to!" reject Angel without fear. The man gave the code to his men to hold Erik. The man immediately pulled Angel by the hand of Angel.
"Deliver!!"
"DON'T BRING MY DAUGHTER!!!"
BRAKK... BRACKET..
"DADDANISH!!" angel shouted loudly as Erik was beaten sadistically by the boys who were now pulling his hand.
"COME IN!!!"
"NO!! I DON'T WANT TO!!"
Reject Angel but this rejection makes her cheeks feel sore.
"Want me to slap again?"
This guy wants to slap Angel again but there is a hand that grips this man's hand.
"Don't be rough with women!"
"Sister Rio please" Angel pinta. Rio took off his grip. Rio looked at the terrace himself to find Angel's father being beaten.
"Who are you, don't interfere!"
"Take him off"
"unleash? they can't pay the debt and this sweet guy is the payer"
"Ck! how much do they owe? I'll pay it all off"
"No need, it's all paid off"
"You can definitely get more out of him"
"I told you it was paid off"
The man in front of Rio seems to want Angel and surely Rio will not let it because Angel his wife and a husband must take care of his wife.
"Say the name"
"So you force it, okay. 100 million"
Angel was surprised to hear the nominal. A very big nominal. Rio just nodded then pulled out his phone.
"How much is his account"
The man mentioned his account number. Angel looked at Rio who looked relaxed once.
"Already"
The man received a notification from the bank and he looked surprised. The man took off his grip.
"150 million but remember don't bother them again or I'll throw you in jail!" threatening Rio's. The man gave the code to his men to leave immediately. Angel immediately hugged Rio tightly.
"Not to be afraid I'm here"
The two black cars left Angel's yard. Jihan helped Erik stand up. With a tricked step Erik approached Angel.
"Ew"
Angel took off her embrace. Angel approached Erik.
"Well, why do you owe so much"
"El, don't talk about this first well, I beg you" jihan asked who knew his daughter was angry.
"El already, your father is in pain"
Rio immediately caught Erik heading into the house. Angel looked at Jihan with a questioning look.
"Mom knows you must be angry, we're in debt. Let's go in"
"El still wants to be here"
"Yes already. I live well"
Comfortable with that Rio came with a mediocre face.
"Say you love your father and then why are you still standing here?"
"Are you glad I owe you again?"
"debt? I just don't want my wife to be taken by that other guy"
"You want to take me away?"
"I wanted to but you said Sena should pick you up. I'll go home, take care of yourself and if you have any problems call me!"
Rio stepped leaving Angel speechless. Angel clenched her hands together - all this meant Angel had to go back to the house to pay for everything.
"Why? I just felt happiness but now why am I crying again. Why God is not fair to me"
...
Jihan was cleaning up the wound on Erik's face. Erik regretted that he was so foolish as to borrow moneylender. Erik borrowed only 25 million but now it's multiplied.
"What is that money for?"
Erik looked at Angel with a guilty look. This daughter is in trouble because of her.
"Sorry Dad, I actually only borrowed 25 million for your school and food stall business. Dad also often deposits money but they keep asking for it again"
Angel remembered when he graduated Junior High he asked to continue school in High School which is arguably a favorite when his father did not have money.
"So this is all El's fault? I shouldn't have asked to continue school"
"You said what the hell, baby. Mom and Dad were happy to see you play with your friends"
"What did your mother say, but who was it? is he the same person?"
Erik figured that the person who helped him was the same person who had been breeding his opinions.
"Yes Well"
"Then ken-"
"El's going to the room" Angel cut. Angel herself did not want her parents to talk about Rio. Rio is good but there is always a desire and Angel knows what Rio wants.
Angel closed the door loudly making Jihan and Erik shocked.
"Mom, am I wrong?"
"Don't talk like that which is important Angel is still with us"
..
rooms
Angel sat on the edge of the mattress while touching her cheek which was slapped by the man. If Rio did not come, Angel would not be here and he would have been in what by the man.
Rio could always make Angel feel confused. Rio is good sometimes but sometimes makes Angel cry.
Angel took off Rey's engagement ring. Angel doesn't want to hurt anyone because that's why Angel wears this ring. Angel can't imagine that Rey and Rey's parents know this, they must have stayed away from Angel.
But Angel is also very afraid that his parents know for sure they are very angry and certainly they think that Angel tarnishes the family's good name.
"Rey, I want to live with you but do you want to live with a woman who's been pregnant?"
...
The Rio/Sena
Sena was waiting for Rio to come home with her disheveled face.
"Where the hell, why haven't you come home"
That second Rio entered the house and passed Sena just like that made Sena feel annoyed.
"Where are you from?"
"That's the one who told me to find Angel's address"
"Keep you got it?"
"Yes, you'll pick him up tomorrow"
Sena continued to follow Rio to the room. Rio opened his shirt in front of Sena. Sena slowly approached Rio and looked at him with a gaze full of suspicion especially since Rio's long gone.
"You didn't play first, did you, Angel?" sena asked with suspicion.
"No, you'd better not ask the weird thing about Angel being my wife"
"Ck! I know but don't dream of making Angel your legal wife, I don't want my career interrupted because of that woman!"
"You're the one who asked?"
"Yes but I kicked him out, you wanted him back"
