TAGGED WITH OM RICH
24. Did Brother-in-law Expel You?

“Look. Whatisthis? New bride is working?”

Dirgantara chuckled to see his cousin was already in his study.

The man, who is Richard's cousin, served as vice director of the Wijaya group company.

Richard clucked in annoyance as he saw the cousin sitting before him.

“Why are you in the office? Did sister-in-law kick you out?” Ask Dirga while leaning her back on the back of the chair.

“Do you have no job? Tired of being a vice director?” Richard looked at the cousin sharply.

Seeing that, instead of being afraid Dirga just put his shoulder.

“Do not bring my department. You want to take me down, go ahead. That way, I will be free from the task of replacing you, when you are busy with your personal affairs.” The man folded his hands in front of his chest.

Richard's hand quickly threw a pen towards the cousin. And perfectly captured by Dirga.

Although the two always argue when they meet, their relationship is very close. Besides Johanna, Dirga also knows about Richard's secrets.

“I have an important meeting today.” Richard then said.

“Seconds can ask me to leave. Did sister-in-law kick you out?” Dirga is really curious about the continuation of the relationship of his cousin.

“Do not talk a no-no.” Richard rested his back on the back of the chair.

“Tell me, how was your first night? What goes smoothly? Or, sister-in-law is not ready?”

“Why are you so curious about my household relationship?” Richard looked at his cousin.

“I'm just curious. My sister until willing to be single until the age of forty, to wait for her love mature.”

Dirga chuckled at the end of his words.

“Why did you become like a woman who likes to gossip?”

Dirga was increasingly open to hear the words of his older cousin.

“Surely it feels very legit, sis.”

Hearing the brother's words, Richard recalled his heated struggle last night with his wife.

That's right what Dirga said. Renatta was so intoxicating to Richard.

But Richard would not admit it to his cousin's sister. It was a secret bed that he would only share with his wife.

“Why are you asking me? Are you more experienced than me? Married at a young age, parted ways in the end.”

Dirga's face changed immediately. He who had been sitting leaned back, then straightened his body.

“Do not discuss that again, sis. You even know, I didn't believe in women until recently.” Dirga's tone of voice turned flat.

“Don't tell me if you're a fellow—Richard doesn't continue. Look at the cousin with a glance.

“Do not talk carelessly. I'm still normal. But to be in a relationship with the opposite sex again, makes me think twice.”

“Don't torture yourself. Remember, you're thirty-five years old now. Want to be single until when?”

Richard could always give wise counsel to others.

Dirga grunting. “No talking like that, don't you see yourself? What age did you get married? Basic, wise-ass.”

“You know why I got married in old age. While you?”

“Do not equate me. I just split up a year ago. And I'm not ready to start again. I—

There was a knock from the door, making Dirga stop talking.

“Log.” Later screams.

A woman with an appearance that spoiled the eyes of the men stood in the doorway.

“Sorry, sir. The meeting will begin soon. Client is already in basement.”

She was Richard's secretary, Melissa.

“Meeting room is ready?” Richard asked while standing up and wearing his work coat.

“Already, sir.”

Dirgantara Wijaya, no less handsome with the older cousin.

Melissa had once put her heart on Richard, but the grown man was unattainable to her.

“Dragon your eye view.” Dirga's whisper passed through the secretary of the brother.

Richard then walked out of the room.

****

Renatta spent his time at Setiawan's house. He picked up a few more things he thought were important.

The woman did not forget to take a picture of herself and Rianna when she was five years old.

She wanted to put it on her bedbed now in her husband's house.

“Newly a day, I've missed this bed.” Say it while laying down on the bed.

Suddenly the shadow of the heat struggle with Richard again flashed.

The woman buried her face on the pillow.

“Why am I the only one who remembers it? He just doesn't remember anything. In fact, he didn't ask me how I was.”

Renatta vented his regret by hitting the side of the bed.

He recalled Richard's attitude back in the room. The man didn't say anything about their struggle last night.

“He only remembers to do it. But then he forgot it. She should have asked me how I was doing, or taken me to the bathroom, like the husband in the novel.”

The woman was really upset with her husband. Drown his face on the pillow.

Until he didn't realize his phone kept blinking on the nightstand.

The husband had contacted her since then, but because Renatta's phone was in silent mode without shakes, the woman did not realize that there was an incoming call.

****

“Where is he?” Richard almost slammed his phone when the umpteenth call was not picked up by his wife.

“Kak, let me go to lunch with client.” Sela Dirga carefully.

He knew his brother's mood was bad now. Seen from the face of the man.

“Go first.” Richard said without looking at his interlocutor.

“Kakak not go home. Anyway, it's just lunch. After that our client went home. Let me and Melissa accompany.”

Dirga can guess, if the brother is now thinking about his wife.

He has experience in household. Little things like this he had felt when he was drunk with romance against his ex-wife.

Richard looked at his cousin's sister. He seemed to think about what Dirga said.

“Good. I'm leaving the office to you.”

The man then walked into his office.

“Cih.. instead of the office I have often handled myself? He's too busy with his little girl affairs.”

Richard put the phone back to his ear.

“Where are you? I'm assigning you to look after my wife. Not for relaxing.” Said the man as he entered his room.

“Your wife is at her parents' house, sir. He hasn't been out since. If I were to suddenly come there, he would be shocked because I knew his house. Should I admit to a wrong address in order to log in and record your wife's activities?”

Richard's man chuckled across the call.

“Do not mess. It's enough I give you freedom in guarding her.”

Richard then closed the call unilaterally. The man took care of his desk. Then get ready to go home.

Only a few hours apart, but Richard had missed his little wife so much. He could not wait to hug the woman.
