Hiding my Status
After a long time trying to seduce Tasia, Rizal can finally take her home. But Tasia asked if she wanted to sleep in her room alone. Rizal obeyed his will the most important his wife wanted to come home with him.
He pushed Tasia's wheelchair towards the house.
Arriving at the entrance of Hendra's residence, all the maids welcomed Tasia's arrival who had just returned from the Hospital that morning, and Mbok Darmin had already prepared their rooms beforehand. But Rizal has Darmin prepare a room for Tasia who wants to sleep alone in her room. Bu Darmin gawked with Rizal's request in his heart saying.
'Are they not married, why sleep is separated.' he said.
"Well.den.." obeying the orders of his young master.
Not wanting to comment with his employer, then mbok Darmin immediately rushed to clean up the room for Tasia while carrying her suitcase Tasia.
"If you need something.later just say mbok Darmin yes." said Rizal attention. Tasia only bearded but her eyes did not see Rizal at all.
Hendra and Tania had just come out of his room and met Tasia who had come, then Hendra suddenly wanted to invite Tasia to talk to him alone.
Rizal looked at Tania filled with anxiety, Tania looked back at Rizal equally worriedly.
A few minutes after they fell silent in Hendra's room. Tasia lowered her eyes in disdain for her Father-in-law. His heart began to beat with fear, because only that time Hendra wanted to invite him to talk alone.
"Yes...What's up, dad?" tanya Tasia dared herself to ask first.
"Tasia.I let you stay in my house.but you need to know, I can't hide it from you anymore, because one day you'll find out about it too" said Hendra slowly but it looks firm.
Tasia raised her head slowly towards Hendra trying to listen to what he was going to say to her.
"Actually Rizal we've already betrothed another woman.and soon we'll get them both married." he said looking straight at Tasia.
Deg
Tasia's heart is beating again and it's like it's going to stop there. Meaning the words of Hendra, with the other woman was Lia. Tasia had known that before. His eyes were back in tears wanting the water to come out but he tried to hold it back and stay firm in front of Hendra.
"Em..so yes." reviewed Tasia quietly.
"Yes.I know you are still the status of his wife Rizal, and I will not interfere with your relationship.you want to stay together even, I will never forbid it." said Hendra.
"But there are conditions during your stay here.I also need to arrange yourself, as long as there are families of my prospective besan including his future wife Rizal later, you should be able to hide your identity as his wife Rizal.." he added that Tasia's eyes were more astonished and her chest was more congested to hear it.
"I-I mean...Daddy?" sahut Tasia stammered now her tears began to drip out.
"I'm sorry, maybe it's really disappointing for you..Tasia, I know this is hard on you, because you love my son so much, Rizal. But I'll make sure you don't lack a living from him" he replied.
"If you want to obey my orders.don't ever tell yourself who is in front of them.or neither of you should be forced to divorce." said Hendra again asserted. "You understand..?!" resolute again.
Tasia's eyes were back. Now his tears are really coming out. Tasia bowed in pain to her heart. Which in-laws are like this to their son-in-law. Hiding his first son-in-law for the sake of his own daughter-in-law. Tasia is confused between having to obey or not. And choose to have to maintain his marriage again or not with Rizal. While she herself knows that she is not a strong and strong woman like the others. You have to share your husband with another woman. Being forced into polygamy by his own in-laws is crazy for him.
Rizal is the man who made her fall in love for the first time, who can turn her life into a jolly and happy woman after the divorce of her parents. Rizal is the one who is able to make her smile when she cries sadly.
But now Tasia has to accept the fact that marrying a rich man is the biggest mistake of her life. Tasia regrets that she recognized Rizal. He should have rejected Rizal a long time ago, after knowing Rizal and Lia would really be betrothed. He may not be the same fate as his mother who will eventually be abandoned by his own father.
Now the bad events of Sulastri's past are now experienced by Tasia, her own daughter. He must be prepared to accept being a neglected and alienated wife later.
Tasia bearded in front of Hendra. Now everything has been done and can not be regretted anymore. But it must be lived with sincerity.
'Huh if only Rizal had not married me then maybe it would not hurt this much now.' his mind regretted.
Then Tasia went back to her room that had been cleaned by Darmin.
Tasia slowly climbed onto the bed and put her body to sleep for a moment then continued her crying in the room.

In the evening, Hendra's family enjoyed dinner together. Everyone had gathered at the dining table except for Tasia who was still in her room.
"Mhd..Has Tasia been told it's meal time?" ask Rizal worriedly.
"Emm..already den, but non Tasia chose to eat in her room." replied the mbok.
"Ooh..."Rizal for a moment became moody, because his wife did not want to eat together at the family dining table. Then quickly Rizal ate his food to run out quickly because he wanted to immediately follow him to the room.
Hendra saw his son a little sour. Without hesitation he finally opened his voice and talked important things to his son.
"Ehm.. Rizal in the near future this is your birthday, I deliberately prepared it from yesterday-yesterday.. We're having your birthday party on Saturday night at this house...Father has also invited all of Dad's friends, especially his family Lia, and. after the party is over, Father and Father Lia will talk about a suitable day for the wedding of the two of you later.." he explained.
Uhuk.uhuuuk!" his cough.
Rizal who was enjoying his meal immediately choked on the rice because he was shocked to hear his father's words.
"Yes God...Rizal slowly ate it.You too Sir, why invite him to talk fitting again eating, like there is no other time to talk to Rizal!" tania's annoyance at Hendra. Then Tania gave Rizal drinking water, and Rizal immediately took it and sipped it slowly.
"There's no time...Soon you have to get married" he continued.
"But Dad, I haven't been engaged to Lia for two months.Why Daddy's hunting down I'm getting married to him. Don't you know there's still Tasia? it's a tough thing for him if he finds out."he rumbles in agitation.
"Dad told him that. And he's already agreed to your marriage to Lia."
"What?!"
Rizal looked surprised not to believe it turned out Hendra had explained it to Tasia earlier.
'It is fitting that he doesn't want to come eat with us' inwardly.
Rizal could only shake his head and rub the side of his face, now he could do nothing but accept his father's decision. His life has always been out of control for him. His father always willed as he pleased. If not followed Rizal is afraid of the condition of the pain will get worse.
"You don't have a heart." Tania sneered at Hendra, then she got up from her dining chair and went to Tasia's room. "The fate of the poor girl." he said slowly.
###
Tasia kept her plate on the nightstand and then took her drinking glass and gulped it down slowly. After finishing dinner with a full stomach and then he immediately lay back to rest. But suddenly the door to his room was knocked.
"Tasian...Tasia...have you slept, son?" scream outside the room.
"Mother..?" he muttered, he knew it was Tania's voice.
"Emm..not yet ma'am." replied Tasia. Then slowly at the door of Tasia's room. Tania approached Tasia full of arrival.
"Tamazia..." Tania immediately embraced her daughter-in-law. Tasia was surprised what happened, why suddenly her mother-in-law hugged her warmly.
"Poor girl." he said softly. Then stroked Tasia's face slowly "I'm sorry your father-in-law's attitude yes son.Mom knows this news, very heavy for you.but trust me mom will always support you and Rizal to always be together..."
"Mother..I mean Mother?" scrunched up both his eyebrows.
"Don't let you two separate because Rizal will marry again yes.mother already likes you,." comfort Tania calm the sadness that Tasia is feeling. Then in his arms again his daughter-in-law.
Tasia was even more moved and returned the embrace of her mother-in-law. "Thank you very much ma'am.I am not sad as long as there are good mothers and grandmothers to me.." she smiled faintly.

Yogi looked up at the night sky above the balcony of his apartment Ramond. Sometimes his eyes also wander buana gleam towards the city of Jakarta that flashes with the lights that are still burning there.
Yogi began strumming his guitar strings and singing alone. It's been almost a year since she's been single waiting for Tasia. Maybe everyone will think it crazy, loving a married woman is a very embarrassing thing. But that is what Yogi feels. His love for Tasia was no joke.
First meeting the woman Yogi was already interested in her style of speaking and the innocence that was on her. Tasia is a special woman not much stylish but always looks simple.
Yogi's eyes closed and briefly daydreamed of his face but at once Ramond suddenly appeared patting his shoulders so that it spread his beautiful daydream.
"Hey what are you doing? the guitar in the hug so, while smiling itself" he said.
Ramond is Yogi's 22-year-old cousin who is still a student and the best at UI for getting a scholarship. Indeed, his style of speech is always slippery but sometimes he also always advises anyone who thinks he is not good for him.
"Why do you always bother me." - Yogi.
Ramond smiled at his older cousin who was about to turn 28 years old but still not married either.
"I just remembered your friend's man, what's his name?" ask while thinking.
"Rizal, you mean?"
"Ah yes.that's his name." said Ramond confirmed.
"Why is it with him?"
"Hasn't she her fiance a famous model these days.' Lia Marshena? a model is blaster, beautiful and tall." said Ramond explained.
Yogi shakes his head. "Well, if you already know, then why?"
"Then that woman yesterday whom he called his wife? I'm still a little confused." he asked curiously.
"Why do you want to take care of other people's lives?"
"It's only time before the stabbing, the woman cried constantly beside the bridge, maybe she was sad and heartbroken because her husband was engaged to another woman" he continued. Then look towards Yogi.
"Would you be so considerate of him?" smith again.
"Help pray instead.I hope they get divorced soon.." said Yogi suddenly raised his eyebrows in front of Ramond.
