Not A Perfect Marriage
Chapter 66 We are family

...

Public cemetery.

Sunlight began to fade its rays, changing the moonlight. Tonight will be cold and full of emptiness.

Deren sat down next to Sena who was now hugging the tomb of Sifa. At Sifa's funeral only Angel did not come because he had to take care of Kevin. Jihan and Amanda are very shaken by this fact, it must be very hard for Sena and Deren as well. Last night was still together but now separated very far and will never meet again.

"Ri, take Sena home." tell Amanda. Rio nodded slowly then walked over to Sena.

"Honey, let's go home." take Rio gently but Sena did not respond. Sena wants to stay near Sifa.

"Pa?" Rio looked at Deren as if he wanted Deren to persuade Sena. Deren nodded slowly then stroked the top of Sena's head.

"Dear, let's go home. It's dark?"

"You stay here, accompany me. Poor mom alone Pa, in there must be dark and cold."

Sena still doesn't want to go home. Both Rio and Deren are unlikely to force Sena home. At times like this they should not yell at or force Sena. This situation is very much making Sena hurt.

Amanda's approaching Rio. Amanda touching Rio's shoulder made Rio turn his head.

"Let's just mama."

"Yes." Yeah." Rio rose and Rio's position is now in place of Amanda. Deren hopes Sena hears Amanda's words.

"Darling, you don't be like this. Poor your mama, she'll be sad."

Amanda stroked Sena's head. Sena is still sobbing, this fact is very painful only yesterday he felt the warmth of the family now that warmth has turned into tears of separation.

"Darling, your mama has calmed down in heaven, she just needs a prayer from you not tears. Home yeah? pity your papa too, he must also be sad and tired. Mama please." Amanda said again. Sena fell silent and began to release her embrace from the vortex of Sifa's tomb.

"Come." take Amanda. Sena nodded slowly. Amanda petrified Sena to stand up. They begin to walk away unless Deren, who is still daydreaming, sees the three graves of his loved ones.

"I am useless."

.....

Riko's House.

This house felt very empty, all busy with their respective minds. This fact shows that the time that passes can change everything and seize what we love.Riko asked Deren and Sena to go to her house and stay here for a few days. Riko just wants Sena to get the attention of her family and not feel alone.

"You'd better take a break, it's a tiring day" Riko told Deren.

"I'm worried about Sena, this is so painful."

"I know, it's hard but it's God's will. You have to stay healthy and encourage Sena, we can only help as much as we can, only you understand your own daughter very well."

"He was closer to Sifa even his nature was declining to Sena. I apologize on behalf of Sifa, I know she's very selfish and careless."

"That's it, don't think it's over."

These two people returned with their own thoughts until the sound of the door being opened broke their daydreams. Turns out it was Arfan with the suitcase he was carrying. Arfan from yesterday was assigned out of town to settle affairs with co-workers by Riko. Arfan felt something strange in this house, like something had happened.

"Arenfan?"

"What's up? why are you wearing black clothes like that?" ask Arfan wonder.

"Because of the loss of the person who gave birth to her" said Riko soberly.

"What?" Arfan was surprised to hear it and how Sifa might die when last night Rio complained about her nature on the phone.

"Darling you've come home?" said Amanda who was relieved her son had come home, honestly because the incident that happened to Sifa made Amanda anxious especially Arfan driving his own car.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Papa doesn't want to bother you, Papa knows you're on your way home."

Arfan just rounded his lips and walked in, towards his room. Today was very tiring for him and added to this. Amanda is worried about Sena's moody situation like that, Amanda went to Sena's room and persuaded her to eat but she did not want to.

"You'd better eat it cold first." Tell Jihan to finish cooking.

"Sorry we're troubling you." Riko's heartless handover troubles Jihan and Erik as well.

"It's okay, it's my hobby anyway" Jihan said as she was and made the three people smile.

"Is Sena still moody?" ask Jihan, more precisely to Amanda. Amanda just nodded slowly.

Angel's Room.

Angel sighed, her back feeling very sore. It's been a while Kevin suckles but it seems like Kevin's little stomach is still not full.

"Darling is it?" angel said as she pulled the edge of Kevin's lips.

Rio came out of the bathroom with a small towel which he still used to dry his hair.

"He's still nursing?" asked Rio wonder.

"Yes, maybe my ASI has started to diminish "

Rio then goes to bed to tease Kevin. With her nosiness Rio kissed the stomach of Kevin who was still breastfeeding and it made Angel upset.

"Rio!" greg Angel. Disturbed Kevin starts to whine but Rio doesn't care until Rio's mess stops as Kevin cries

"That's right." handed Angel who immediately carried Kevin's tiny body.

"Sorry" Rio said as he was at the same time as Jihan entered the room with a plate of rice for Angel.

"Mom's granddaughter why are you crying?" jihan asked who heard the sound of Kevin's cry that sounded annoyed.

"Diledekin Papa" said Angel while looking annoyed at Rio. Jihan just smiled thinly.

"It's funny" Rio said in self-defense.

"Already, Ri you should eat first! Papa same mom you have been waiting for you to eat together, then replace Kevin after all your wife has not taken a shower from morning." said Jihan while pointing at Angel with her chin.

"Ih.. I was told that anyway!" angel who does not shower all day.

"Limit you smell sour!" ledek Rio who instantly took a thousand steps. Angel could only scrunch his chin.

"Let's eat, Kevin's not craving anymore."

"Yes." Yeah."

Jihan greets Angel with affection. Jihan feels Angel's growth is very fast, it seems only yesterday she taught Angel to talk now she has become a mother of a very handsome little angel.

"Take the meal, El, I'll bribe Sena too, do you mind?"

"No, I get it. Sena must have lost so much."

"Yes, at the funeral Sena kept crying."

Angel really understands how Sena feels. The pain of losing a loved one and accepting this bitter reality is excruciating, as if the world died to our own in the darkness of emptiness.

"Yes, I'm just going to Sena."

"Later after you finish the rice on your plate and Rio hasn't come back either."

.... Sena's Room....

Sena's tears dried up, her heart broke and now she feels very lonely even though she knows she is not her birth mother and tries to destroy her happiness.

Sena heard a knock from the door but she did not care about it and soon heard the sound of someone opening the door.

"Have you not taken a shower?" jihan asked who entered Sena's room.

Sena only looked at it briefly and then looked straight ahead again. Jihan smiled faintly and walked over to Sena. Jihan sat down next to Sena. Jihan still remembered what Sifa had asked her and Jihan felt that a mother had strong instincts, as if she knew her death was imminent until Sifa said and asked all of that to her.

Sena was surprised by what Jihan did to her. Jihan gently stroked the top of Sena's head making Sena stare at her with a hard-to-understand eye.

"Why are you nice to me?"

"Because I'm a mother and I was asked by your mother to take care of you and love you like my own daughter."

"You don't lie, he doesn't care about me!"

Jihan smiled faintly at Sena's words. Jihan gently stroked Sena's head while speaking.

"He cares about you so much, last night he asked me to take care of you as if he knew this was going to happen. No one in the world knows the future, we can only plan it and God has our life. He's the one who set everything up."

"But why doesn't God love me? He took away my happiness through your daughter."

"Sena, this is his will. Rio did not divorce you and you still have your rights as a wife. Rio will definitely be fair to you guys."

"Gga, Rio can't be fair. Angel gave birth to a child for her, and I? I can't give him a descendant."

"Don't say that, you're still young and still believe in yourself. God may not have given you the confidence to care for a baby but believe me, God has not forgotten you just that he is arranging your happiness tomorrow. A day that will make your life happier."

"Is that so? then when? I'm so tired of living my life."

"Dear." Jihan pulls Sena's nose slowly.

"You're not alone, I'm also experiencing the same thing as you." Jihan continued.

"meaning?"

"It took me seven years to gain the trust of the Year, you can definitely get pregnant as long as you don't give up. Aside from going to the doctor I'm also undergoing alternative medicine.Yes you may not believe."

"Can that be? doctor says.--"

"Honey, what determines destiny is God is not a doctor. The doctor is just an intermediary, you have to trust him, there must be something beautiful for you in the future. Don't you give up, huh?" cut the Jihan that instantly pulled Sena in her arms.

"Yes." replied Sena quietly. Somehow Sena felt comfortable and safe in Jihan's arms.

3 weeks passed.

Arfan looked at the annoyed Rio who was wandering around without wearing a shirt. As if he was mocking Arfan with his sixpack stomach, Rio was busy pacing back and forth in front of Arfan who was working on his college assignments and it made Arfan uncomfortable.

"I know that your sixpack stomach doesn't have to show me, just show it to your two wives" Arfan said in an unsound tone. But Rio also seemed to want to make Arfan even more annoyed, it was visible from the curve of the edge of his lips.

"Dad? telling the boss." said Rio with his petty make Arfan more arrogant.

"Ck, shit!"

Before long Angel came with a carry Kevin who only uses diapers and also Angel's crumpled face.

"Ck deserved this boy did not want to wear clothes turned out to imitate his papa. What are you doing like that?"

"That's the answer.?!" ledek Arfan's. Rio just stared dejectedly at Angel. Rio went straight for Kevin but that second Rio frowned as Kevin slid his tongue towards Rio.

"You taught him?" rio asked who was still staring at Kevin who repeated his tongue while showing his funny facial expression.

"I wanted to ask you that, it's been two days that he's been so sick."

These two people immediately looked at Arfan making Arfan confused but for a second he immediately clicked annoyed.

"It's not me, I swear!" answer Arfan honestly.

"Kev, who are you teaching?" rio asked, but the little guy just smiled happily to see his Papa who saw his upset face.

"Kevin!!!" sena's voice instantly made Kevin turn away from Rio.

"Yeyyy Sena's mom is home!" said Angel who was happy Sena came home after two days to go to Bali.

"Here..here .. mama Sena miss!!"

"Now!"

Angel passes Kevin to Sena. Sena kissed Kevin's cheek with her anxiety, letting go of his shade.

"Your job is done?" ask Rio. He was a bit worried about Sena's health forcing himself to work. Rio knows Sena is doing this for him as well as Angel. Sena wants to get all the work done as soon as possible so that Rio and Angel can have their wedding reception.

"Once, maybe in two days I have to go to Tokyo."

"Don't force yourself."

"Yes, can you ask me something?"

"Huh? just tell me, why ask permission?" rio said astonished. Sena smiled faintly then.

"You don't intend to find another wife, do you?" asked Sena with a piercing tone.

"Huh?" Rio looked confused hearing that.

"Wear clothes! you think cool like that? you look like someone on the side of the road!". Rio's eyes immediately rounded hearing Sena's words and Arfan was even seen holding back a laugh. "El you didn't scold him?" keep Sena on again.

"Free, he should be old enough to realize it himself" Angel said in a flat tone. Arfan who smelled the scents of quarrels immediately decided to go away afraid of being affected by this quarrel.yes even though Arfan wanted to watch a small commotion that made him want to laugh to see his brother who was cornered by his two wives.

"Good to enjoy their chatter" said Arfan with his petty after quite far from the three.

"You guys! watch out tonight!" threatening Rio but his two wives even seemed challenging.

"You sleep alone!" said both compact and immediately leave Rio. Rio just shook his head.

"Have a wife of two when I'm still sleeping alone? huff.." despite looking annoyed, Rio was very grateful the two could get this close and Rio hoped they would still get along like this.

...Angel's Room....

Rio opened the room door. He immediately saw Kevin who was sleeping on the bed. Rio started to step in and did not forget to close the door because Angel only wears shorts and special bra for nursing mothers. Angel herself is not aware of Rio's presence, she is still cool to choose clothes in the closet.

"Eh?"

Angel was surprised when someone hugged her from behind and she knew that it was Rio.

"You're intentionally like this?" rio whispered right in her ear.

"No, I was just picking out the clothes I was going to wear. Off you?"

"Other times if you're like this, lock the door! Arfan will see again!" said Rio who immediately took off his embrace.

"Yes, next time I lock the door. What are you doing here? Sena must be looking for you." said Angel who was afraid Sena felt only herself was noticed by Rio.

"She's in the shower and I've been with her for a long time.". Rio's words just now made him get a creepy look from Angel.

"I mean replace it with you, your mother said I should be fair. Yes, here, come on, let's eat must have all been waiting for Kevin's mummy still sleeping."

"You first, I'll catch up."

"Yes already."

"Why?"

"I'm going to buy him a cure to get rid of that wound" Rio said and left Angel confused but for a second Angel knew what Rio meant, his caesarean section scars.

"Are you disturbed?"

"No, I just thought that you might need it."

"No, it makes me love Kevin even more."

"You are this."

Rio immediately lowered his body then dyed the scar on Angel's stomach that looked like a smile. Angel ruffles Rio's hair softly and along with it Sena enters the room, she sees him and somehow she is so jealous of Angel who could conceive.

"Damn?" angel said as she turned her eyes away from Rio. Rio also immediately confirmed the position of his body.

"Sounds I'm interrupting?" said Sena by showing her clumsy smile while scratching the nape of her neck that does not itch.

"No, what did you bring?" rio asked who looked at Sena's left hand which was toting the paper bag.

"Oh, this is for Kevin and El."

"For me?" rio asked innocently. Making Sena frown her forehead.

"I gave it to you!"

Rio just rounded his lips then walked away leaving Sena and Angel. Angel herself felt something strange to Rio.

"Why is he acting like a child?" go to Sena's house and it's heard by Angel.

"Maybe he wants to be noticed, yesterday I heard Rio complaining about our concern for Kevin and worse yet Rio nagging Kevin while just being with Kevin alone."

"Well, oh yeah, this is for you. We three are a double shirt."

"Hmm?"

"Just like Kevin, Rio's where you are."

"Totally so."

....

Rio felt anxious especially Sena saw all that. Amanda looked astonished to see the dreamy Rio.

"Ri, where are they?"

Rio knew what Amanda meant by Sena and Angel.

"Die, her name is also female."

"Don't tell me you're jealous of your own son" said Riko, who seems to want to tease Rio, while Arfan just listens, he did not intend to interfere because the stomach worm is in a demo asking for food.

"Pa, what's Kevin teaching you about to explode like that?" accuse Rio directly and instantly Riko is acting strangely.

"Ti..no! Arfan kali!" Riko accuses Arfan of eating. Arfan immediately glanced sharply at Riko.

"Here Pa, seeing Papa's strange behavior proves it."

"Here you go, let's eat!" get Amanda.

Soon Sena comes without Angel and makes Amanda ask.

"Honey, where's El?"

"Kevin woke up, asked for nyusu so I'd just bring him rice."

"Oh, let's just mama."

"No ma'am, let it be a plate with me, I'll bribe him." hearing Sena's words just made these four people smile in their hearts and feel like this family will always be happy. After finishing taking the side dishes Sena directly back to Angel's room.

"Thank God they're getting closer."

"Yes." Yeah."

Angel's Room. 21:00

Sena was changing Kevin's diaper carefully because Kevin was asleep. Sena herself will sleep here but Angel feels Sena should sleep with Rio.

"Sena." call Angel and Sena just muttered.

"You'd better sleep with Rio."

"Why? can't I sleep with you and Kevin?" Sena looks sad but that's not what Angel wants.

"Not that, you've been taking the herbal medicine for three weeks, maybe?" Angel did not continue his words and chose to sniff his shoulders and it made both cheeks Sena heated up.

"What the hell!"

"No, let's go Kevin wants a brother."

"I don't want to hope El, it makes me sick."

"Not hoping but trying, it's better. At least the guy doesn't complain anyway."

"Yes right too, long ago his behavior was like a baby. Yes I've been to Rio's room, hopefully the door won't be locked."

"Of course not, don't be funny. He must be staring at the door hoping that you or I will come."

Rio Room.

Rio from earlier only looked at the door collar while lying down. All the work was done but he was hard to sleep.

"Am I just approaching them? but it must've been all sleeping."

Rio heard footsteps leading to his room and Rio hurriedly picked up his phone as if he was being focused with this phone. Before long one opened the door and Rio was sure it was Sena that Angel was impossible because he was the one who had to approach Angel.

"You haven't slept?"

"Aren't you sleeping with Kevin?" rio asked without looking at Sena. The door sounds in the lock. Rio smiled faintly hearing that.

"No. Ummmmm... Ri?"

"Hem."

"Have you mah!" upset Sena and made Rio turn towards Sena.

"Why?"

"No!"

Rio directly sat his body. Sena stared resentfully at Rio making Rio even more want to tease Sena.

"Sleeping father!"

"I..nyebelin... eh?"

Once pull Sena directly fell on Rio's chest. Sena's body was piercing Rio. Sena's heart was beating fast even though she had been married to Rio for a long time still this made her blood boil.

"If you want to just say it, don't confuse me" Rio said with great affection.

...

23:30

"Can I get pregnant?"

"Don't talk like that!" Rio then tightened his embrace. Encapsulate Sena with warmth and affection.

"Don't be burdened by it, I beg you. Just go through all this without a burden. I'll try to be fair, you believe me, right?"

"Yes"

...

Not felt the night has changed with the morning and the house has the arrival of guests who immediately make breakfast.

"Damn?" Amanda was shocked by Jihan's presence.

"Good morning."

"When did you come?"

"Must."

"Let me." said Amanda unwell.

"What if we have breakfast together?"

...

Sena smiled happily brought herbal medicines again by Jihan. Sena felt very happy with the attention Jihan gave her.

"Have you been to the doctor?"

"Yet, Mother said it wasn't instant."

"Yes, but you have to check your secrets regularly."

"I'll just obey."

Angel saw the closeness of Jihan and Sena somehow he felt something strange in his heart.

"Dear you're here? mama's looking for you." Amanda suddenly came and a strange taste in her heart was gone.

"Why Ma?"

"Let's come!" Amanda pulled Angel's wrist straight into her room.

...

Middle Space.

Kevin is playing with his grandmother. Rio felt these two wives should go indulge themselves.

"El, Sena. You better go to the mall, shopping or to the salon gih." tell Rio.

"Come on El."

"But Kevin?"

"There we are, you take it easy." Amanda said.

"Come on El, you've also stocked breast milk, right?"

"Yes, not for long?"

"Just calm. Ri, are you coming?"

"No, I don't want to bring your groceries." Sena frowned her chin, her plan had been known to Rio.

....

Mall

Sena asks Angel to wait in the parking lot because she wants to go to the toilet.  A bored Angel waiting in the car decided to get out of the car.

"Huffff. a long time ago."

"People's angel." A heavy and pressing voice from behind made Angel turn her head.

"You?"

"Call remember me?" Asked the young man who had a tattoo on his neck. The tattoo makes Angel even more sick to see the person standing in front of her.

"Alex, what do you want!" Angel asked in a dislike tone. Angel knew the young man in front of her very well and Angel felt insecure when she was close to him.

"Ck, would you like me? Hah.you this do not pretend memory loss. I'm still waiting for your answer. Do I have to repeat it?" Say it by looking at the look of interest.

"And I said it too! I don't like you! Don't bother me!" Angel said with emphasis, but Alex instead laughed with crisp.

"Basic selling expensive... Ummm, are you married to that mother's son? Ck... If he is, he doesn't deserve you!" Alex immediately stepped closer to Angel, making Angel retreat in order. Angel knows what Alex means, Rey. While in High School, Rey was the one who always protected him but I don't know what he will face at this time where there is no Rey nearby.

"What do you want?" Angel asked fearfully and along with that Sena returned from the toilet. Sena frowned but clearly Angel was like frightened. Sena hurried over to Angel afraid there was nothing.

"El." Sena calls and makes Alex cluck and leaves Angel.

"El, who is he?"

"Eh? It's nobody."

"Really?"

"I.iya, let's go home."

....

Along the way Angel just daydreamed and it made Sena worried.

"El?" sena calls but Angel does not respond.

"Angel!" sena calls in a higher tone and manages to resuscitate Angel from her daydream.

"Eh .. Why?"

"You daydreaming? what are you thinking?"

"That's... Kevin's. I'm afraid he's fussy."

"Oh, what do I think is going on?"

Angel simply smiled faintly and turned her gaze to the side.

"I can't say it" Angel said in her heart.
