CHAPTER 24
“What are you doing in front of my room?” Suddenly Riana's voice shocked the two.
Apparently Riana has just arrived, her face looks fresh, but there is no happiness there, like a newlywed.
“Is the news we heard this morning?” asked Viona impatiently, she even went straight to the point, even so impatient, Viona did not realize the gloomy face of Riana.
Riana did not want to answer, she passed her two best friends just like that, then pressed a combination of numbers to open the door of her room. “Let's go in, we talk inside, I still have plenty of time until my practice hours start.
Riana took off the outer she was wearing, then put it together her briefcase on the table, she sighed softly, like it or not this must have happened, sooner or later these two people who loved him the most would have come and interrogated him, asking the news that had been disseminated by Richard the papa.
Riana sat down by Viona's side, while Rodrigo took his place on the single sofa as usual.
“What you want to know.”
“Everything,” replied Rodrigo and Viona simultaneously.
Riana smilingly turned to look at the faces of her two best friends.
But then Viona recalled her conjecture, then her palm stretched out rubbing Riana's stomach.
Riana, who was aware of that, was slightly tiptoed, and it made Rodrigo even more curious.
“How many weeks is he?” viona asked, leaving Riana stifled, she was surprised when Viona could guess everything correctly.
Rodrigo was even more surprised, the man who had long harbored his feelings for Riana felt devastated again.
“What do you mean?” Elak Riana, trying to cover up what happened to her.
“Do not pretend to lie, you are not good at it, tell me how old is this baby?” bursts Viona does not accept, feeling to be the closest person to Riana, but when Riana is pregnant she does not even know to know. “You think I can't conclude? it's not just the pregnancy syndrome that makes me conclude that, some nurses have started to spread gossip where, several times they saw Brian in the main lobby meeting you, he said, Thank goodness they didn't know that you were pregnant.”
Rodrigo who had been silent since then and became a listener, now began to feel his blood boiling, his hands even clenched, a series of prejudices began to appear, surely Riana again lag experienced the violence of S#x#al until it ends with her current pregnancy, really, just imagining it makes Rodrigo want to meet Brian immediately and beat him up.
Again Riana stared alternately at her two best friends, especially Rodrigo, Riana knew once Rodrigo was dead to hold her anger. “this baby, Brian's son, is already 7 weeks old,” replied Riana with a lowered face.
Long Viona and Rodrigo waited for Riana's answer, until finally the woman nodded.
“Oh ... My .. God.” said Viona in disbelief, she did not expect the idea would be a start of disaster for her own best friend, even though her initial intention wanted to make Brian regret having wasted Riana, by looking at Riana seemed happy with her new partner, but instead of her plan succeeding, she actually made Riana again end up with her ex-husband.
“Wait ... wait ... wait ..” Rodrigo start voice open, “dating blind? got pregnant? pregnant women syndrome? why don't you say anything I know, have you deliberately not told me what you've been doing for the past few months?” Rodrigo asked in a rather high voice, it felt like he wanted to curse out at the two women who had long been his best friend.
Riana and Viona are equally downcast, “Sorry ..” said Viona softly, “before I thought I could make Riana again have a partner, I never thought it would end like this.”
Rodrigo stood up from the sofa he had been sitting on, his hands scratched and ruffled his hair violently, until the neat hair was back in disarray, then he turned around and instead grabbed the back of the sofa, and, “How can you not recognize your ex-husband?” ask Rodrigo, of course, also the question of people who do not know what the concept of a blind date like that day.
“That night, the concept of her blind date was a mask party, and each participant wore a fake name and identity,” Viona replied fearfully afraid, she knew Rodrigo would definitely scold her out, he said, the answer is already guessed, of course because Viona recklessly sent Riana to a blind date event, which allowed Riana to meet strangers, but not to, while there is Rodrigo who has long been waiting for the answer to Riana's feelings towards him.
Rodrigo's face was getting red, he felt completely eliminated from the two women in front of him, so he did not know at all what they were doing behind him, so he did not know what they were behind him, but not a real man if he is angry just like that, a mature age, making Rodrigo more able to behave rationally, he said, until finally he reached a point where he had to let go of his feelings that only harbored love alone.
Riana feels wrong, facing Rodrigo who might misunderstand her, and also Viona who actually feels very guilty about her.
“It wasn't me defending Brian or making a justifying defense of what happened that night, but ... That night we didn't really recognize each other, although from the beginning Brian looks very like to be my date.” Riana started her explanation.
“Then?” viona asked wondering what happened next.
“At that time I refused, I said, I will just follow the plot prepared by the organizers, and Brian agreed, but I don't know, whether it was a coincidence or we were destined to meet, I don't know, but we actually ended up as date friends that night, at first we just talked about light things, about work, and what was going on around us, until then there was a waiters who delivered the wrong drink, whether this was planned or not, but Brian did not refuse the drink, and Brian told the waiters, the waiters, to bring a new drink to the owner of the drink,”
“Do you feel something strange in your drink?” viona asked increasingly curious.
“Either there was something strange, or I was just carried away, but to keep watch, I kept a vigil just sip a little of my drink, the next we danced, I felt my body hot, I felt like I was, I think it's just the effect of being close to a man, because it's been a long time since I've never interacted with a man intimately.”
Riana looked back at her two best friends.
“And that's how it all started.” Riana ended her story, she no longer wanted to explain the continuation, because she was too embarrassed to discuss the business of smelling the bed.
“Then why don't you talk about it with us? why just keep it alone?” ask Rodrigo who's trying to get back to being rational.
“At that time, I felt a lot, between, surprised, scared, anxious and I was ashamed of you guys, so I kept everything attacking myself, even I wanted to keep this marriage a secret, but just before we went to the civil records office, we were caught off guard, my papa arrived to come to the apartment without prior notice.”
