TAGGED WITH OM RICH
23. Does Om Have a Double Personality?

Renatta woke up from feeling a chill on his shoulders. The eyes of the girl who is not ‘girl’ anymore, slowly open.

He found the bed next to him empty. Making Renatta slowly rise up, by squeezing a blanket on both armpits.

“What time is this? Did Rich go to the office?” His monologue.

The twenty-two-year-old young lady glanced at the large clock standing in the corner of the room. Time shows at six in the morning. That means Richard might still be home.

Renatta quickly got down from the bed, picking up the piayama that was lying on the floor.

With a limp step due to the pain in the groin, Renatta walked towards the dressing room. He had to hurry down, maybe the husband was still downstairs and was having breakfast with the other family.

But Renatta was wrong, while in the dressing room, he heard the sound of water splashing from inside the bathroom. That means Richard is still there.

Renatta then prepared work clothes for her husband.

A few minutes later, Richard came out of the bathroom with a towel covering his lower body. And a small towel over the head.

Seeing that, made Renatta swallow his saliva. The shadow of their heat struggle last night flashed again.

He had clearly seen all the body parts of the husband. In fact, her tiny hand also touched the man's covered part.

“Mandilah. We're down for breakfast.”

Richard's voice sounded flat. Making Renatta wake up from his daydream.

Either Renatta's feelings or they're true. He felt his husband's attitude change. It came back cold like some time ago before they were betrothed.

The man did not ask how Renatta's physical condition was after being in all-out combat. As if nothing happened between them.

Without speaking Renatta complied and went into the bathroom. His eyes suddenly warmed. Richard's change of attitude pinched his heart.

Just because of a dream that Renatta doesn't know what. The man just changed. I don't know what happened in Richard's sleep, so he was cold this morning.

Isn't Renatta used to being ignored by that guy? Why does it feel so painful now? Is it because they have been having a husband and wife relationship?

“I shouldn't have been this stupid to give myself up so quickly to her. My love is too weak.”

The woman then flushed her body under the water faucet. I wish I could get all his bad thoughts out.

While outside the bathroom, Richard was still preparing. He used one by one the clothes his wife had prepared.

Right after the man finished his stint, Renatta came out of the bathroom with a kimono towel.

Richard cleared his throat slowly. The look of the wife is so seductive. But he had to hold back.

There was an important meeting this morning that he had to attend. Otherwise, Richard might have already pulled the girl into bed. And repeat their beautiful night.

“I'll wait outside.” Said Richard who then walked out of the dressing room.

Renatta could only sigh slowly. Then be prepared not to make the other family wait too long.

Richard was about to sit on the sofa, but accidentally his bead caught something on the bed.

The man then approached. The corner of his lips lifted when he saw the bloodstains on the white sheets of his luxurious bed.

“You really take good care of yourself, baby. I'm lucky to be the only man in your life.” Said Richard while wiping the red stain.

“Om.”

Renatta came out wearing a knee-high brown dress. That made Richard angry again. He is very easily provoked when he sees the appearance of the wife.

Despite wearing covered clothes though, the man still could not help himself.

“Come we get off.” Say it after a slow thump.

Richard precedes his wife. Being beside Renatta made his faith waver.

“Why did you guys get off in the morning once?” Mama Luna's voice welcomed the arrival of the newlyweds.

“I have an important meeting, ma.” Richard answered while pulling a chair, then leading the wife's body to sit on it.

“Then, you also lecture?” Todong mama Luna to the son-in-law.

Renatta nodded slowly. “I'm still on leave, ma. Tomorrow just start college again.”

Mama Luna nodded in understanding. The middle-aged woman observed the son-in-law. Renatta did not look so excited.

“What time do you sleep?” Ask Mama Luna later.

Renatta looked at the husband. Wish the man answered the mother.

“Why did mama ask that?” Richard asked with narrowed eyes.

“See your wife.” Mama Luna's index finger points towards the daughter-in-law.

“His eyes are tired. You guys must be staying up until midnight.” Another imbibing.

“Mama like don't know bride just.” It wasn't Richard or Renatta who answered. But Johanna. The woman came with her husband and father Jonathan.

“Ah. Mama understood.” The middle-aged woman blinked one eye at the son.

“Hard work. Mama is waiting for your grandchild.”

Mama Luna's words made Renatta cough even though he had not eaten anything.

“Begging grandson of Johanna first, ma. He was married.” Said Richard while giving a glass of water to his wife.

“Kakak just relax. Let's see, who first had children.” Tukas Johanna quickly.

“You first. Rena is young. Let him enjoy his youth first.” Richard answered wisely.

Hearing the husband's words, Renatta recalled their actions last night. Richard doesn't throw it inside. Is that the reason? Letting himself enjoy the young maaa?

“But not too long either. Remember your age, Rich. Don't let your kids think you're his grandfather.” Mama Luna chuckled at the end of her sentence.

“That's right, ma.” Johanna.

Meanwhile, Renatta just looked down embarrassed. This conversation had already led to the area twenty-one and above.

“Already. We start eating. Don't slur. It's still morning.” Papa Jonathan stopped the wife's laughter.

They then started breakfast quietly.

After finishing enjoying breakfast, Renatta drove the husband to the front of the car.

“You're still on leave today, ‘kan?” Ask Richard before entering his car.

Renatta nodded slowly. He's still not sure if Richard's coming back sweet on him.

“Rest.” The man approached, then put a warm kiss on the wife's forehead.

Renatta closed his eyes for a moment. He wanted to enjoy Richard's warmth before the man came back cold.

“Can I go home? Hmm, I mean I want to visit the front house.” Ask the woman doubt.

“Sure. But remember to rest. We slept too late last night.” Richard rubbed his wife's cheek gently.

Renatta nodded back.

The husband stepped away. But turn around and whisper.

“Prepare yourself and your energy. I don't want any more, we start with coercion.” Said the man who then actually got into his car.

Renatta stood in his place. Not because of the man's whisper.

But due to Richard's change of attitude. Adult men who suddenly cold when in the room, now again turned into men me-sum.

“What om has double personality?”

Seriate.
