Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
81. Exchanging Secrets

°°°

"Are you really happy, Li?" ask Rara.

"Yes Ra, I'm glad he's no longer close. No intrusion and I'm busin' quiet life like I never knew him." Although Lia was not sure of her own words actually.

"Li's story, who knows I can give input." Struggling Rara with her prejudices.

"I can't hide anything from you like that." Lia gave up at last.

It makes Rara happy because her friend wants to open up to her.

"Look Ra, didn't know why when he said that then turned around and left. My heart says, it's not like that that's not what I meant. Weird right?" lia was clear about her feelings.

Rara did not immediately reply, she thought about what her feelings meant. Nor is he sure whether his guess is correct or not.

"Maybe because you're getting used to her existence, Sakka has left a mark on your memory. Then about you getting upset and angry at her, it's my opinion because you always remember her bad."

"That's what makes you grow dislike or hate, but without you realizing it it actually makes you continue to think about it and gradually change. I don't know if you're getting used to it or starting to like it. Who knows you're Lia."

Rara tries to give understanding according to what she understands, because actually the one who knows better is Lia herself.

"I don't know Ra, either" hesitated Lia.

"It's okay, slowly you understand exactly what you feel. Maybe Sakka has really changed. Let you understand your own feelings," Rara said again.

He also does not want if his friends are close to men who are not right, they should indeed introspect each other. Fix yourself and if God comes closer, they are already in a better state.

"Thank you Ra, sorry I didn't listen to you. I shouldn't have harbored feelings of hatred for him. He did nothing to me." Sesal Lia's.

"There is nothing for Li to regret, we indeed cannot prevent feelings from growing in our hearts. Stay how we arrange it not to overdo it and fit."

Suddenly Lia slammed into his friend's arms. It felt relieved after telling the story, the burden in his heart slightly lessened. Very grateful to have a friend who wants to listen to his complaints, not just want to be happy.

"It's your turn now, Ra." Lia narrowed her eyes.

"What turns Li," said Rara pretending to forget.

Suddenly Lia attacked her friend by tickling him. Laughter filled the room. Two young girls who are both in love. But they don't realize the meaning yet.

"Stop, stop. I'm li." The corner of Rara's eyes until watery because of amused.

"Quick story Ra, I've been very curious to know from earlier." Lia who is impatient.

"But you don't get mad huh," pinta Rara who was a little worried that her friend would go berserk from the start regarding her status.

"Why should I be angry, what is the secret?" Lia's curious soul was struggling even more, but even so she didn't like to gossip. What he knew would be well preserved, like Febby's behavior for example. He knew what the woman was like but didn't tell the others.

Rara stood up and walked towards the side of the bed, then picked up something on the nightstand.

"This is see for itself" he said, handing over a picture frame of himself and Revan during the marriage contract.

"It's really you Ra and this...." Look at Lia looking for answers.

A small nod from Rara answered everything.

"As you think."

"But since when and why did you cover it from me and everyone. Then you even let your husband date another woman. I can't speak anymore Ra. This is so shocking."

It was only natural for Lia to behave like that, because all this time the two of them were quite close. There was a bit of disappointment, it was none of her business and it was Rara's own choice.

However, as a friend Lia felt Rara did not really consider her a friend all along.

"I'm sorry for covering it up from you. But it all happened so quickly for me, I also had no choice but to cover it up from others." Rara felt very guilty.

"Although I'm a little disappointed but I didn't turn you on, Ra. Maybe you have your own reasons for doing that and we haven't known each other for too long either." Judging from Rara's sad face, Lia felt she had her own difficulties. Nor can he just blame without hearing the reason.

"Thank you Li." Rara was moved to hear the words of her friend. Didn't think he'd be that understanding.

"But why didn't I hear Revan's brother changed status, he's still dating Febby. What happened to your marriage, is it possible that you were betrothed?" guess Lia's origin, it was unexpected that her guess turned out to be true.

"You're right we're married for an arranged marriage." Rara bowed lethargic.

"So right? You must not have easily gone through all this. Geez Rara, I can't imagine how your wedding trip will be." Much to Lia's prejudice about her friend's wedding trip, she thought it must not be easy.

Rara smiled hearing that, it was true what her friend said. It wasn't easy at first.

"You're right, maybe you already know one of them. When we got married, we never even met. Until I find out if Revan's brother still has a girlfriend." The fact that managed to scratch the wound in Rara's heart for the first time.

"Why don't you refuse that match, Ra?" ask Lia.

"I initially refused because I was still in high school at the time, but after praying and surrendering to God. I decided to accept this match. I'm sure that something based on God will be beautiful in time."

"Rara, you're so good at being patient when your husband is with another woman. If I must have been angry that the actor, then I ruined his face so that he would be...."

Rara laughed at her friend's annoyance at the woman, even though the one who experienced it all was not her. But it is true, most women when betrayed will certainly take the attitude as Lia example.

Either what Rara's heart is made of until she does nothing to separate her husband from Febby. But who would have thought if his patience was sweet. Now she felt how loved her husband was without asking.
