Rangga's Beloved Wife
Congregate

Jakarta sky turned bright with bright blue shades accompanied by white clouds, without being dispelled by the fog of vehicle pollution and the rest of the factory burning as usual.it is currently dominated by sunny weather conditions in the morning until late afternoon. It is characterized by winds that blow quite hard and the air humidity is quite dry compared to a few days before.

In a park, women and men walk together. Hands clutching each other tightly as if they do not want to escape each other. Throwing each other a smile, making the woman blush. The sky that afternoon seemed to welcome the two shared happiness. Although they have not yet been gifted a second child, after two months ago they had to give up their child-to-be for not developing.

Rangga looked at the woman who is now his life companion. The woman who had given him offspring was Muhammad Bagaskara Baratayudha. Oh yes speaking the name of the new Bagas, it has become a discussion of Rangga with his extended family. Not that he didn't like his previous name. But because the dream came to a kyai, asked Rangga to change the name Bagas to have a better meaning.

Their journey to this moment was not for a moment. Their journey until it can be like now is not cans. There is much they have to sacrifice. The cry of a wife who is wronged in-laws, the cry of a wife when her husband is in a coma, the cry of a woman who has to go through pregnancy alone without a husband. That's all Baras went through with determination. No she hates her husband, no she hates her husband's family. Not because he was stupid, but Laras was sure that one day Rangga would come home.

For a moment their affection was slightly disturbed. The delicious aroma from across the left of the garden disturbs the sense of smell of both. Signs they have not filled the stomach because of the fun quality time. Both Rangga and Laras chose to cover the Padang satay cart. Previously Rangga had never eaten Padang satay, but because there were no other carts and were hungry they were sitting next to the cart.

"Bang, satay Padangnya two, yes." Rangga's message to the seller's brother.

"You satay what, mas. Sate Padang ati ampela, sate iga and meat satay?"

"A lot of choices, bang. What do you want, honey?" Rangga turned his attention towards Laras.

"Bang, one meat satay. Pake cassava chips bang. What do you want, mas?" barrel Messages.

"I'll match your order, baby." Rangga's hand flicked Laras's nose.

"The meat satay is two bags of cassava chips." Baras's message.

"Yes, neng. What do you want to drink? it was next to me that sold cendol plus there was young coconut ice." the brother of the seller pointed towards the cendol cart over there.

"Mas, it looks like the sales brother is quiet. Look at him sitting, no one stopped by. Poor, mas." whispered Laras.

"Where are you going, mom?" Laras is confused to see her husband standing leaving her at the place of Sate Padang.

Rangga approached the seller's brother cendol. He seems to be a man not far from him. His face sparkled when someone approached his wagon. The brother of the cendol seller also rose and offered his merchandise.

"You want what, mas? cendol what is young coconut ice? mas, take it easy, got me clean really." bargained.

"bang please take the young coconut ice to Padang sate cart there. Or if not your brother is sitting next to Padang. Let's not have a hard message" said Rangga.

"I'm going there, huh."

"Don't forget the ice, bang. But directly the same dark, yes." message Rangga.

"Mas, two aides. One is not full" said Laras.

"Look at me for sure I'm full." Barrel blushed in shame.

After a walk in the park they choose to go home. It had been two months that Rangga's small family moved to Pattimura's residence.

Rangga pity his father lives alone at home. Bagas is often escorted by Donald. Since Lani went to school abroad the house became quiet, Laras did not mind if her husband invited her to stay there. Arriving in front of the house, Bagas also welcomed the arrival of his parents.

"Mother's son has taken a shower." Laras felt the smell of his son's body.

"Yes, mother. Bagas bath wear bathup. Same with opa. You can play soap bubbles. Exciting, mother." said Bagas cheerfully.

"Thank you, yeah, pa. Have bathed Bagas." said Laras.

"It's okay, Race. Just the same Bagas papa can be like this. It used to be only Dito who wanted to play with papa." recalls papa Donal.

"Papa's ashamed of Toni, Ga. Papa used to blame her for Lani asking for a divorce. Papa never wants to listen to Toni's explanation, if all this is Lani's fault. Toni is a good husband. Because papa is too pampering Lani so his behavior is like that."

"Already, pa. The past let it pass. Tony never gets angry with me. He once said that papa's attitude will happen to any parent." explained Rangga.

"Just this, pa. How about we have dinner invite Toni and his wife, Dito will come. Let all your friends be friendly."

"Good idea, baby. Can I invite Ina and Nature?" ask Rangga.

"You want a reunion?" ask Laras.

"Yes if I'm allowed to invite them. Even though we had a wonderful past. But she's my sister. The fall is blood, right? can you, honey?" Laras nodded.

"Mas, I want to prepare the material first, yes. Make our dinner cook."

"No, Race. Papa will order catering. You just sit sweet with your husband and Bagas. This time we do not eat at home but in a restaurant acquaintance papa. Did you forget?" Donald suddenly remembered something.

"Why, pa?"

"Well, did you not save Toni's contact number? No, you're the one who called Toni."

"Papa actually forgot what's still the prestige of talking to Toni, right?" guess Rangga.

"No, Ga. papa really doesn't have any more Toni contacts. That's why I asked you to call him" said papa Donal.

"Well, I'll call Toni. I also told Ina to invite them."

"Let me call." Laras interrupted her husband's words.

"So you still don't believe me?"

"No. If there's any business with your ex, even though you're already brothers he's your ex, mas."

"Well, I'll invite Jihan to a reunion." Rangga giggled while at his wife's pelototti.

"Let's go, sleep outside tonight" said Laras, walking away from her husband.

"Yah .. who doesn't dong? when I slept outside. You don't pity me when I'm in a mess of mosquitoes."

"I knew this house never entered a mosquito. So don't look for excuses."

"Eat, Ga. Don't wake up a sleeping lion." Papa Donal teases his son.
