Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
56. I promise, Mom!

Indra opened her eyes after a long quality nap. He turned to the bed beside him, staring at the brown bead that had been watching him in his sleep.

“You slept really well, Mas..” said the woman while caressing her face.

"Let's take a shower, I want to take you out" said Indra while taking a towel and staring mischievously at Ranita. He intended to code the woman, but dropped it because something was more important.

After Indra was fully dressed, she picked up the phone and put it in her pocket, following with her wallet, while waiting for Ranita who was still getting ready.

“Come, Mas..” take her when she's ready. The casual dress looks so fitting on her crazy body. Making Indra unable to release his eyes from the body of the woman.

“Very beautiful!”

“I dressed for you.. Better than your little wife.” Ranita grinned while holding Indra's hand.

They were walking down the titian that connects their resort with the romantic dinner area which is right on the beach where there are already several couples sitting there waiting for dinner time to arrive.

Ranita held back Indra's steps to stand at the end of the titian that forms a small dock, where speedboats lean the tourists go and go home.

“Who, Mas?” ranita asked as Indra's phone rang from inside her pocket.

Indra frowned seeing Viani's name appear on her phone in a video call. “Viani..”.

“Jawab aja, Mas. Say it again with friends office.”

Indra also answered Viani's call. The boy looked so happy and relaxed. The man did what Ranita suggested earlier. Even with no fear of being discovered or awkward, Ranita boldly waved at Viani.

“Rita!” pekik Indra called the little name Ranita.

“What? It won't be caught! I'm your office friend too, remember?”

Indra gave up and still noticed the chatter of Viani and Ranita. If the woman is too obvious and careless, Indra will really leave her.

After the call ended, Ranita returned the phone to Indra.

“Udahlah Mas.. Will not be caught.”

“I told you, I'm not ready, Rita. We have to be careful. I can't separate from Gemma now! I also don't want to lose Viani.”

“You won't lose Viani! I was even closer to her than her own mother. I promise, Mas. And you also have to promise, if you will soon leave your ugly wife.”

The sentence made Indra turn her head and look at Ranita with annoyance.

“Don't be irritated like dong, Mas. Later our dinner is not good because your mood is bad. Don't think too deeply. I'm sure Viani's fine.”

The woman tiptoed, and kissed Indra right on her lips gently, as at first their love splashed and blossomed in the Rapidash Express office.

“I love you! I can't wait to be Viani's mom. I always want to be a mother.”

Knowing her partner was still in a bad mood with her, Ranita deepened her kiss and made the man start to move involuntarily.

“I’ll be back,” said Indra who left his phone on the table.

Upon Indra's return from the toilet, they continued their activities. Relax at the table that has been prepared for dinner while enjoying the beautiful sunset.

The dinner they spent also looked so romantic, full of warmth and affection, that everyone was so envious. Indra was really like a man who so spoiled Ranita. She is like the most precious queen.

“Desertnya,” said a waiter while offering two glasses of ice cream as a dessert in the form of vanilla ice cream with cherry and chocolate wafer.

Ranita took the spoon stuck in the ice cream and ate it while enjoying the romantic live music that accompanied their dinner. The woman's eyes were so sparkling when she heard the melodious voice of the vocalist singing the song Marry You owned by Bruno Mars.

“Mas... Her voice is so sweet yes..”

When Ranita turned her gaze to Indra, she found the chair empty, and found Indra already beside her, kneeling while holding a box in her hand.

“Marry Me?” ask Indra with a hopeful look.

Ranita's right hand spontaneously smothered her mouth which almost let out a frantic screech. Without hesitation, the woman nodded. “Yes... OMG, YES!”

Indra pulled Ranita's nape and kissed her affectionately, then pinned the ring on her finger.

“I love you...” Indra whispered with love.

“I love you too..” Ranita back down and repeat that friendly kiss.

They returned to their rooms after enjoying the dinner.

Smiling, he looked at the diamond ring. A ring that was certainly expensive and very valuable, embedded in his finger. Makes her feel victorious over her battle against Gemma, the wife her lover never considered. Which is never bought anything and is spoiled for anything. She's lucky. Real lucky.

But their current good mood easily changed because of something that became Ranita's fault.

As soon as Indra checked her phone, her forehead folded, her eyes squinted and her eyebrows dived unhappily.

“What the fuck, Rita?”

Ranita raised her head. “Why, Mas?”

“What did you send Gemma? What messages did you send until you deleted all?”

Ranita pulls out her cellimut. His expression changed from satisfied, to sad. “I'm just tired so the shadows continue, Mas.”

“I told you, Rita.. If you can't now! We have to wait another year. Once I'm 44, we can be free! If now, how? I could have ruined my plan and we got nothing!”

“Mas! I can't stand it! Are you not in love with me? You can talk to Gemma, right? You tie him up with Viani so he can't get away from you for a year!”

“But you are still a rash!”

Tear drops immediately wet Ranita's cheeks. “Sorry, Mas... I was wrong! I'm wrong! I just love you too much. I can't stand being hidden, Mas!”

“Not all this time everyone knows you're my wife? Less than enough what's the confession of me, Rit?”

“Mas! I need certainty!”

“Then, does that ring mean nothing to you?”

Ranita fell silent, she still sobbed with her deepening cries.

“Did you send photos?”

“Iya..”

“You showed me your face?”

“Ngak..”.

“Then we are still safe.”

“What is safe, Mas?”

“I beg you, don't be rash anymore. If I get divorced from Gemma prematurely, I do not hesitate to stay with you!”

“A-I promise, Mas..”
