TAGGED WITH OM RICH
33. Ballad Four Mature Men.

Richard was having dinner with some of his colleagues.

There were Edward Hugo, Daniel Abraham, Dirgantara Wijaya the deputy director, and also two clients from outside the city.

They are discussing the construction of an international tilled hospital, which will be built on the outskirts of the city.

After reaching an agreement, the client from outside the city resigned first because he would return to their city.

Four other men, Richard, Dirga, Edward and Daniel, were still in the restaurant to chat.

They very rarely meet because of their respective activities.

Richard was friends with Daniel, while Edward and Dirga were friends during high school.

“Do we need to move places? On the top floor of this place there is a night club.” Said Dirga when the other three people were just silent.

The three of them threw eyes at each other.

“No need. We can order drinks from this restaurant. They also have wine import.” Richard answered his cousin.

Dirga nodded. He then walked out of the VIP dining room to order a bottle of wine.

Moments later, he came back followed by a waitress carrying a tray of imported wine, and four stemmed glasses.

“One bottle only. You have a wife at home waiting.” Say Dirga while pouring the alcoholic drink into stemmed glasses.

He asked the waitress to leave them.

“Then, when do you have his wife?” Edward asked as he grabbed the glass that had been filled.

“Oh Come on, man. I've only been a year a widower. What's the rush to get married again?”

Dirga put one glass in front of the brother, and another in front of Daniel.

“Look at the man in front of you.” Edward said, pointing at Daniel with his glass.

“Why with sir Daniel?” Dirga asked with a frown.

“She has only been a few months widowed, but is now married again.” Edward without a doubt.

“Wah.. this is amazing.” Dirga cheering small.

“In this room, there are two men who are late to marry.” Show it to your brother and Edward. “And two more people experienced man.” Dirga raised his hand, and did tos with Daniel like a child.

“But the three of us have the equation.” Richard said as he sipped on the edge of the glass.

A sense of heat flowed down his throat, as the alcoholic drink went inside.

“What?” Ask Dirga curiously.

“We both married young leaves.” Edward replied with a laugh.

“Take it easy. I'll follow in your footsteps. Because with the same age, it will only make a heartache.” Dirga spent his drink in one throat.

“He always has been. Can't yet move on from an ex-wife who has clearly betrayed him.” Richard shook his head at the behavior of his cousin's sister.

“Why don't you ask Daniel for advice? He was divorced a few months ago. Even with famous artists. But he is married again.” Edward added.

“Don't ask my advice, Dirga. Although I just got divorced, but my relationship and my ex has been strained for a long time. Even years old.” Daniel spoke up.

The story of Dirga is different from Daniel. Although both at selingkuhi, but the fate of Dirga more sad. The wife was caught cheating the day after they celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary.

“So, why don't you ask Edward for advice on facing a young wife? He was married, and now has a son. Who knows, Edward's advice could make you conquer brother-in-law.” Dirga diverted the conversation. He doesn't like to talk about things that only make it harder to forget his ex-wife.

Richard looked at Edward. The man seemed to think, what is the need to discuss with Edward about their household? However, to date his relationship with Renatta is fine.

“Oh yes, when is your wedding, Rich? Why don't we get an invitation?” Daniel asked, pouring a little drink back into the glass.

Richard cleared his throat slowly. “Two weeks ago.”

“Why did sir Richard not invite us?” Edward asked curiously.

Richard took a slow breath. “My wife does not want our marriage to be known by many people. Just that family alone.”

“That's because sister-in-law is ashamed to have a husband who is eighteen years older.” Dirga laughed loudly.

“Shut your mouth, Dirga.” Richard looked at his cousin. Instantly Dirga pursed her lips to hold back the laughter.

“But, it's okay, Mr. Richard. My wife and I are also only married to my family. Most importantly, he is already officially ours.” Edward gave a plea to Richard.

“Do not carelessly talk you, Dirga. Watch out later you get a young girl. I'll laugh the hardest.” Richard was upset with his cousin.

“Please, sis. Just wait until you're old, I won't marry again.”

“Om, you drink alcohol?” Renatta asked after Richard kissed her. He felt a strange taste in the man's lips.

“Only a little, dear. Not much.” Richard answered while rubbing the corner of the wife's lips.

Renatta distanced himself. They are now in the woman's room at the Setiawan family home.

“We're back home now.” The woman said, pulling the husband's hand.

“Why not stay here?” Richard asked while following his wife.

“No stuff here. Tomorrow I'll bring some. For now, let's go home. I have to check something.”

Renatta pulled the hand of the husband like a mother who was dragging her child to take home for too long to play.

“You want to go home?” Ask Mama Dona at the end of the stairs.

“He said, send our greetings to papa and brother. I have to do college work.” Lying Renatta. He could not say if the husband was now smelling liquor.

“Ya. Mama convey.”

Papa Roy and Randy haven't come home from work because they're overtime. Renatta wanted to wait for the two men to arrive. But he abandoned his intention.

Arriving at Wijaya's house, precisely in their bedroom. Renatta immediately stripped Richard of the suit.

The woman circled the body of the husband, while sniffing other scents that might be left behind.

“What are you doing, baby?” Richard asked in amazement.

“I'm looking for another woman's trace on your body, om.” Renatta said as he raised his husband's arm.

“No trace of anyone.” Duke Richard.

“But you smell of alcohol. Om definitely go to nightclub.”

Richard chuckles. “I don't go to nightclubs, baby. We only drink at the restaurant where we had dinner.”

“Do not dodge.” Renatta stared fiercely.

“You can ask Dirga. Anyway, if I go to the nightclub, I won't be home at this hour.” Richard showed me his expensive watch. It's only nine o'clock at night.

The man then reached into his pocket. Contacting the cousin who was with him.

“There's more, brother? I just arrived at the apartment.”

Dirga's voice sounded lazy.

“Tell me did we go to the nightclub or not?”

Richard turned on the loudspeaker so his wife could listen to him.

“Not you yourself who won't go to the nightclub? We only drank one bottle. Basic sucks.”

Richard looked at the wife's face. The woman then lowered her head.

Without speaking more, the man severed the call unilaterally.

“You've heard it? We only drank one bottle of four. And another one, there are no other women in that place.”

Richard lifted his wife's chin. Makes the woman's face look up.

“I'm not a cheap guy who likes to look for fun outside the house. While at home there is fresh meat that is ready to eat anytime.”

The man then turned back on his wife's lips.

“Company me shower.”

Renatta nodded obediently. Richard quickly carried his wife's body into the bathroom.
