Pursuing the Love of Husband
chapter 52

"Why Rat?" Siti again asked as Ratna remained silent but looked at Siti with a difficult view Siti understood.

"Hm. . ." Ratna's words hang when someone calls her name.

"Rabra!" Mrs Titin appeared behind the door. " Come out, show to start. Your candidate has come."

"I Yes ma!"Answer Ratna. The girl stood up immediately. "Yuk Siti we're out!" Bring Ratna. Siti just according to him even though in her heart still curious.

Ratna's event began. A simple event that only invites family and close neighbors. Before the Maghrib event was over with the decision of two more months Ratna and her candidate would have the wedding.

All guests are eating the dishes available including Siti. But Siti only ate a little because she was still curious about Ratna who was like knowing her husband. From where she was sitting, Siti could see her sister Seno was staring at her from a distance under a tree. Her sister was too overprotective when it came to her.

Guests began to leave Mr. Erte's house one by one. Siti actually wants to approach Ratna to invite her to speak together but conditions are not possible because her future husband is always on the girl's side.

Finally inevitably Siti came home with other guests because Maghrib time is only ten minutes away. Siti then finds Ratna to say goodbye.

"Ratna, congratulations!" Siti Say.

"Eehhh yes Siti, thank you for coming!"

"Yes Rat. I go home first. When did you get back to town?" Tanya Siti wished they could meet again before Ratna returned to the city.

"Maybe tomorrow afternoon, Siti. Why?"

"Oh tomorrow afternoon huh? Can I come here tomorrow?"

"Oh of course I can! I'm waiting for ya!" Ratna replied with a faint smile.

***

Upon returning from Ratna's house, Siti continued to ring Ratna's speech about Rey, her husband. Looks like Ratna knows her husband. Did you ask the same question about Ratna? Siti thought to herself. Ahh yes than curious and misunderstood.

Tuuutts. Mobile Phone Siti ringing. Video call from her husband.

"Mas." City.

"Dear, have you eaten yet?" Rey.

"Still full mas. Have you eaten?" City.

"What do people eat? Just eat again."

"So eat at Mr. Erte's house."

"Oohh after his son's proposal?"

"Yes mas!"

"Eats a lot, right?"

"Hmm, I'm looking at the mas!"

"Let's eat again!"

"Yes mas. Hmm, I'd like to ask."

"What do you want to ask, darling?"

"Have you ever known a girl who lived in this village?"

"Girl? Hmm, never mind. Why indeed?"

"So you've got an acquaintance of a girl who lives in my village?"

"Hmm, you used to!"

"Kok mas never told you? My boyfriend?"

"Not a girlfriend but a wife!"

"What wife? Got a wife from my village?"

"Yes!"

Hhh. . . " who"

"Then you don't know?"

"Mas have a wife besides me?"

"Hmm, by the way what the hell?"

"Who's the mas?"

"Sity?"

"Mas! It's really in question!"

"You said what the hell from earlier is unclear? Do you think my wife is a lot?"

"Hmm, there's someone here who's surprised to know my husband."

"Then?"

"Yes, maybe it's a mas!"

Rey breathed out violently. "Eat first there continue to pray so that your mind is clean! Call me again!"

Tuuuutts. Phone disconnected.

"Damnah!" Siti throws her phone into the bed. "I have to ask Ratna directly." Mumbled.

***

"Assalammual." Siti said a greeting in front of the door of Ratna's house.

"Wa aleikumsalam." Reply to someone who turns out to be Mr. Erte, Ratna's father. "Sity?" Mr. Erte was shocked to see Siti who was this early had visited her house.

"Sir Erte. Sorry disturb. There's queen?"

"Ratna's? Ada, there come on please come in!" Mr. Erte invited Siti to come in and sit on the sofa in the living room.

"Thank you sir!"

Before long Ratna appeared with a tray containing drinks. "Sity?"

Siti smiling. "When are you back in town, Rat?"

"Maybe it will be late in the afternoon because tomorrow morning you have to go back to work. Take his permission for just two days." Answer Ratna.

"Oh so. So your candidate came home last night, huh?"

"Yes Siti, he came here with his family so he went straight home last night and today he works. If I still miss the village so only tomorrow work again." Terang Ratna's.

"Oh yeah last night you seemed to know my husband. Where's Rat?" Ask Siti who can not stand to ask immediately.

"Whose name is your husband? It might just look alike!"

"My husband's name is Rey. Reynan Wibowo!"

Ratna's eyes rounded to hear the full name of Siti's husband. "Where does he work?"

"So I know he's in the office but his own office. I don't understand!"

"Hmm, she has a little girl? Sorry if it's wrong Siti!"

"Little girl? Yes have!"

"His name?"

"Love. His daughter's name is Love!"

Ratna was shocked. "You sure?"

"That's sure! Because of her daughter I was able to marry Rey!" Siti started thinking no.

"The person I know is Reynan Wibowo. I knew she had a daughter, but she didn't marry..But maybe it's the wrong guy, Siti."

"Sir? Why are you calling him sir?"

"Because he's my boss!"

"Boss? So he's your boss? Hmm no. . " Siti did not continue her speech.

"Not what?"

"Hmm, it's nothing."

"Where was your phone maybe I saw it wrong yesterday?"

Siti then pulled the phone out of her pocket. Then show the gallery, all photos of her husband including photos of her daughter Cinta.

"Siti, this is right my boss!" Ratna.

"So my husband is your boss? You've been working with my husband for a long time?"

"Yes since college. Siti, you're so lucky to have a husband like Reynan sir!" Said Ratna while touching Siti's arm.

"Hmm, why?"

"I often see Mr. Reynan walking with women in the office but none of them can make him a girlfriend."

"You mean, my husband would often change women without going out, so?"

"Eehhh not so Siti! I mean, the women were chasing after Mr. Reynan but none of it worked!"

"Hmm, don't you know who her boyfriend used to be?"

"Hmm, don't know! Suddenly he heard that he wanted to get married. And only important people in the company are invited. His wife is very beautiful but I don't know if you're his wife."

"Hmm so!"

"You're a great Siti, you can win the heart of Mr. Reynan!" Ratna held out her four thumbs.

Siti smiled thinly. You don't know how cold Ratna was at the beginning of our marriage. Inner Siti.

"Oh yes Siti, are you Mr Reynan's wife, can you help me?"

"Hmm, what help did Rat?"

"Hmm, Mr. Rey's company does not allow employees to marry fellow employees. One of them has to come out! My husband and I worked there so one of us had to resign! My husband and I worked there! Pay is good!" Terang Ratna's. "Can you not talk to your husband so that me and my future can still work there after marriage?" Ratna Pinta.

"Hmm, if the matter is I didn't promise Rat! But I'll try to talk to Rey!"

"Thank you Siti!" Ratna then hugged Siti with a smile on her face.

I was wrong about Rey. How come you didn't call again from last night? Inner Siti restless.
