TAGGED WITH OM RICH
42. Who's Bobby?

“Honey, not like that.” Richard came closer to his wife.

Only, the woman was reluctant to come into contact with Richard. He doesn't want to just melt away.

“There are things I don't want to share with others. I'm sorry.” Richard said again.

“I know this marriage is based on coercion. Therefore, I must not know the secret that om save.” Sahut Renatta.

Richard shook his head.

“There is no such thing, dear. It's just.” The adult man let out a rough sigh.

“Just I'm not ready to share it.” Imbuh Richard then.

Renatta poked his lips. He realized, if he was just a debt relief tool. Shouldn't want to know and interfere in Richard's business.

“I understand, um. Om no need to explain anything anymore.” Renatta went into the dressing room.

Richard rubbed his face violently. He did not want to argue with his wife for too long. He also caught up with the woman.

“Sayang.”

“I want to take a shower first, om.”

Richard nodded slowly. “You didn't buy anything?” The man asked when he realized his wife was coming home empty-handed.

“Yes. We just went to play.” Renatta answered and went into the bathroom.

Richard stared at the door of the bathroom that had been closed and seemed to be locked from the inside.

“I'm not ready to tell you, baby. I hope you understand a little. I don't want us to fight.”

The man said softly. He was really confused to start from where to unpack the contents in the third floor room.

The atmosphere of dinner was no less awkward like lunch. Renatta refused to say many words to her husband.

He continued to serve the man and only spoke as necessary.

Richard let. Not wanting to solve the problem. But the man gave his wife time to be quiet.

Next day.

“How was your first day working, Ta?” Renatta asked his friend.

They were in class and waiting for the lecture to begin.

“Lumayan.” Answer Gista briefly.

Hearing the girl's reply, made Renatta roll his eyeballs lazily.

“Is there no effective incident? Or do you feel nervous on the first day? Why just good?” Ask Renatta again.

“Yes. It is also called the first day of work. There must be some nervousness.” Say Gista later.

“Then what about Dirga?”

Gista's forehead is finely wrinkled. “What do you mean, Re?”

“As a superior, is Dirga a fierce person? Or just the opposite?” Tanya Renatta curious.

Gista shrugged his shoulders. “I didn't meet him yesterday.”

“Yes, what a pity. Though I want to know how about Dirga when he became a leader.”

Gista put his shoulder back together. He doesn't care. After all, he was there to work not to observe his superiors.

The atmosphere became silent as lecturer Richard entered the classroom.

Renatta ignored. He was busy opening his laptop.

“Your husband is handsome once.” Bisik Gista's.

Renatta just shrugged his shoulders.

Richard cleared his throat slowly. He stared fixedly at the wife who was completely oblivious to him.

“Renatta Setiawan.” Said the man firmly.

The student called by his name also looked up.

“I request your friend's absence.”

Renatta let out a rough sigh. He did what Richard asked.

“You fought?” Whisper Gista again after seeing the look on Renatta's unfriendly face during an interaction with Richard.

Renatta did not answer. He decided to sit back and continue studying.

When the class ended, Richard asked Renatta to come to his room.

“Re. Sorry, I can't accompany you. I have to go to work.” Said Gista while tidying up his bag.

“It's okay. I'll stop by there later.” Said Renatta while getting up.

Outside the class they split.

Renatta knocked on the door of the husband's room. No wait for long, the rectangular board opened from the inside.

Just one step, the woman's hand was already drawn by Richard who was standing behind the door.

Renatta's eyes were perfectly rounded as the man squeezed his body against the wall.

“What do om do?” Renatta. He was afraid that someone outside would listen.

“You till when are you silent like this?”

Renatta sighed softly. She pushes the body of her husband. Then sit on a sofa a little away from the door.

“Until om let me into the room on the third floor.” Answer the woman.

Richard rubbed his face. He took his place next to his wife.

“Honey, Come. Don't be like a child. I told you already. In the room it only stores office files.”

“And I don't believe.”

Renatta got up, then headed for the husband's desk. He sits down on the man's chair.

“You don't trust me?” Asked Richard in a wild manner.

“Yes. The reason does not make sense. If it's just the office files, how could Papa Jo not come in? Wasn't it before om, papa Jo first led the Wijaya Group? Then why can't he come in?” Renatta spoke while crossing his arms in the chest.

“I agree if I can't go in, because I'm new to the house. But, this obviously does not make sense if until the family om own birth also do not know the contents of the room.”

Richard rubbed his neck. What the wife said was true.

“Sayang. Already we do not need to discuss it anymore, let alone fight just because of trivial things like this.”

Renatta pressed his shoulder.

“Is it because we got married for reasons of accounts payable, so that om won't open up to me?” Ask the woman later.

Richard got up from his seat and approached his wife.

“Never talk like that again, dear. I never thought of it that way. You just need to understand. Right now all I can say is that.”

Again Richard was dominant which made Renatta did not dare to answer again.

The woman was only able to nod slowly.

“Good.” Richard pecked the head of his wife. The man then went into the bathroom.

Renatta again sighed softly. He always dared not go against Richard's words any further.

The clinking sound of Richard's phone on the table distracts Renatta. That woman ignored. However, the flat object seemed to receive several incoming messages making it sound continuously.

Renatta looked towards the bathroom door. There was no sign that her husband would be out soon.

The woman took her husband's cell phone.

The screen is locked, but Renatta can see who is sending the message.

“Bobby?” Mumbled the woman.

Renatta also saw the contents of the message sent by a person named Bobby, without having to open the lock screen on the phone.

“Bos.. forgive me. But, this is very important. I need your help. I want to borrow money for my mother's medical expenses.”

“Who Bobby?” Renatta asked himself.

Wanting to look further, but Renatta abandoned his intention because the husband had returned. He put the phone back in place before Richard knew it.

“Om. I'm going home first.” Pamit Renatta's.

Richard nodded. Before the wife came out, the man hugged her and kissed her goodbye.

“Cautious.”

Renatta. She then left the husband's room.

While walking towards the car that had been waiting for him, Renatta was like seeing the figure of Bobby was not far from the campus gate.

“Bobby?”

The woman felt a little strange. He began to ask himself. Is Bobby the one who sent the message to the husband, the same person he knew?
