Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
21. The Road to the Mall

°°°

After finishing with her lecture, Rara and Lia immediately walked out towards the parking lot.

"Ra have you asked your cousin when she's coming home?" ask Lia.

"Here, he just sent me a message."

"Then I don't accompany you anymore huh, I should immediately go to my workplace. Assalamualaikum." Lia waved her hand and walked over first leaving her friend.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Be careful on the road, see you tomorrow."

They wave each other's hands. Rara rushed to the parking lot, not wanting her husband to have waited long. Either today they're going home with that woman or not.

Rara did not want to think much, let everything go slowly like running water. Her relationship with her husband is sacred and legitimate in the eyes of law and religion, their bond is sacred. He was sure if behind the wound he suffered there would be a rainbow afterwards.

"Let's go up" Revan told his wife, who looked dreamy after arriving in front of the car.

Rara realized, she immediately boarded the car.

"Is there a place you want to go?" ask Revan.

"I don't think there is a sister" replied Rara, not not not wanting but she did not know what was in the capital of Indonesia.

During this time he only saw it from television or the internet, he wanted to mention one of the tourist destinations but was afraid if the place turned out to be far away and took a long time to get there.

"You don't want to go to the mall?" ask Revan who's driving.

"Mall?" Rara knitted her two eyebrows.

"Yes, aren't you interested in going there. Maybe there's something you want to buy or you need right now," Revan bargained again, he looks really excited right now.

Rara seemed to think for a moment, her needs were all available at home. At first he was also confused, it was a house or a supermarket, why everything was available there.

"I don't need anything, brother, but if it's just for a walk, I'd like to." A smile expands on Rara's lips, she is happy to have the chance to get closer to her husband. Wherever it doesn't matter to him.

Unknowingly, Revan's left hand reached out to touch the wife's head and gave a swipe there. The presence of Rara turned on made him very comfortable and the desire to make his wife keep smiling always appeared in his heart. Like this moment, he suddenly took Rara for a walk.

"We have arrived" Revan said as they arrived at the largest mall in Jakarta.

"Why don't you want to come down?"

Revan scrunched his forehead seeing Rara silent just not excited as he expected.

"I've only come to a mall this big for the first time, maybe I'll be a little embarrassing later. Is it okay for Revan's sister?" Rara was afraid that her husband would be ashamed to walk with her.

"You don't have to worry about something like that, let's go down."

You can imagine how Rara's expression when she got out of the car and started entering the mall, her eyes staring in amazement at the magnificent building.

"Hold my hand not to be left behind."

The wife who is not focused on her path certainly makes Revan worried if they are separated in a building that is much larger than the campus. I don't want the incident to happen again the other day.

Rara unhesitatingly tied her hand to her husband's.

They walked down every floor, tiredness replaced with feelings they currently could not explain.

Can I ask if today doesn't pass so that Revan doesn't let go of his hand. Rara's.

Can I see that beautiful smile every day.

Revan.

"My clothes are many and there are still many that I have not yet worn" protested Rara who was forced into one of the clothing stores by her husband. Revan then told him to go shopping.

"Didn't women like to shop." Revan invited his wife to enter a branded clothing store because she knew she liked to shop, like Febby who had often asked her to buy something.

"No, brother, I don't like it, it bears his name and God doesn't like it." Rara did not think about her husband.

"Well if clothes are still unnecessary, what if bags, shoes or jewelry are possible." Revan takes Rara out of the clothing store and walks to find another one.

The clothes shop waitress that the couple had entered was very envious to see them, so they were wondering. If only there were a lot of men like Revan in this world surely the women's lives would be happy.

"I want to, too," said another servant.

"You have a husband." Pushing the servant's second forehead with his index finger.

"Hehehe.. It's okay to add one more if it's like that."

"That's the name greedy, we are single to what part."

Debate does not mean it lasts long enough, fighting over things that do not exist.

,,,

"Sister, this is a lot."

Rara stared at the groceries she did not want to buy but her husband was pushy. He was also very surprised when he saw the prices of the goods he bought were not cheap.

"It's just that."

Rara's eyes are of course rounded, some grocery bags that are in the hands of her husband in say only that much.

"You buy what else, sister, this is a lot," declined Rara again.

"Mobile, I want to buy you a new phone." Revan replied casually.

"For what sis, my phone can still be used." Rara pulled out her phone and flipped the flat object to show her husband.

"Indeed, but it's an old-fashioned cell phone."

In the end Rara has a new phone now, refusing to be free because Revan will continue to force her to accept. But behind it all he was so happy today, he even put a grocery bag containing his new phone on his lap. Not because it was the first item her husband gave her. He'll wear it later.

Revan continues to steal a look at his wife, the radiance of happiness on Rara's face makes her heart feel happy.

"Oh yeah almost forgot, there's something I want to give you."

Revan gave a card to his wife.

"What is this sister," asked Rara after receiving the card.

"The ATM card is for your pocket money and your needs, sorry I just gave it to you now."

Revan forgot about it and he also had no idea why his wife had never asked for his rights.

"It contains about 50 million, if you say less to me" Revan said.

"50 million for what?" Rara was surprised to hear that much money was just for pocket money.

"For your pocket money and your needs or less. I'll transfer again."

"No, my friend, this is more than enough."

What with that money, if in the village can definitely buy a goat for Abi, thought Rara.

"Oh yes, brother, is it okay we don't buy anything for grandfather." The groceries are so much everything for Rara, of course she feels bad later on grandfather.

"Grandfather doesn't need anything anymore, your presence at home is enough to make grandfather happy."

Why, why did hearing Revan's sister say that made me thump. His treatment of me today is also not as usual, has he started to accept me as his wife.

Rara hugged her new phone again. Hope today is a good start to their relationship.

to be continue...
