TAGGED WITH OM RICH
45. Richard the Cause of Rianna's Accident?

Richard could no longer stand the lies he told his wife.

He felt like he was lying to himself because he loved Renatta so much, even though he never said it directly.

After thinking for a while, Richard decided to speak to the family of the in-laws.

He wants to ask for the opinion of others. Not wanting to hold the anxiety alone. The only place to share the story is the Setiawan family.

So, this afternoon Richard transferred all office duties to Dirga's cousin. While he wants to solve his heart problem.

He contacted his father and mother-in-law, asking them to meet. But not at home, but in Setiawan's office. So that Renatta would not know.

Richard asked to meet after lunch.

Before going to the office of the in-law, Richard also took the time to visit the tomb of Rianna.

“You've had lunch?” Dona's mother asked as the son-in-law took a seat on a single sofa.

While Mama Dona sat side by side with papa Roy, and Randy sat on his big chair.

They're in Randy's office.

“I've eaten, ma.” Richard said politely.

“What important things do you want to talk about, Rich?” Ask papa Roy.

Richard took a slow breath. He loosened the tie that Renatta had tied to the man's neck earlier this morning.

“I'm back to having that nightmare, pa.” Richard then said.

Papa Roy and mama Dona throw one another face after hearing the words of the son-in-law. So did Randy, he stared questioningly at Richard.

“Nightmare?” Papa Roy's birthday.

“Yes, pa. Genesis seventeen years ago.” Richard said as he nodded.

“I'm sorry if I said anything personal, but every time Renatta and I had a marital relationship, the nightmare would come after. And last night, I had a dream of meeting Rianna.”

Richard tells about the conversation he and Rianna had in the dreamland.

The three members of the Setiawan family listened to what the forty-year-old man had said.

“I feel if I should tell Renatta the truth, pa, ma.” Richard looked at his two in-laws in turn.

“What do you want to say?” Ask mom Dona.

“Renatta already knows if his twin sister died in an accident.” Imbuh the middle-aged woman.

“But Rena doesn't know the actual incident, ma. I want him to know, so that I can live quietly with him.”

“Kak, you don't blame yourself anymore. I'm sure, you dream like that again because you feel guilty. Try to weld it, sis.” Randy added.

“I know what Rich felt. We experienced the same thing for several years.” Randy said with a distant look.

After the fateful incident seventeen years ago, not only Richard who was haunted by nightmares. Randy experienced the same thing.

The man looked with his own eyes, as the younger brother was hit and fell drenched in blood.

Papa Roy also had time to bring Randy to the psychiatric expert. Maybe because he was younger than Richard, so that makes Randy easily relieve his trauma.

“But it's not that easy, Ran.” Richard was frustrated.

I don't know what makes it so hard to talk to Renatta. The fear of losing that woman, made Richard a loser.

****

Returning home from college, Renatta decides to visit Rianna's grave.

Some time ago, the woman had a dream of meeting a girl who looked like her. Renatta was sure it was Rianna.

Renatta never knew what the angel looked like. They separated when they were five years old. An age where not everyone can remember their memories.

There are only past photos stored neatly, but it does not also make Renatta remember his childhood.

Arriving in front of the funeral, the woman did not forget to buy her favorite Lily bouquet.

“Lily flower bouquet yes, sis?” Ask the florist to Renatta.

The young man in his teens even memorized Renatta's face.

Renatta smiled as he nodded.

After getting what he wanted, Renatta rushed towards Rianna's tomb.

Richard Wijaya's wife's forehead was wrinkled finely when she found a bouquet of Lily flowers that looked fresh on top of Rianna's tomb.

“Who came?” Ask without anyone answering.

Renatta crouched down on the side of the tomb, placing a bouquet of flowers he was carrying next to another bouquet.

“I'm glad you want to come, even if you don't say anything.” He said it again while rubbing the corner of his eyes.

Yes, although Renatta dreamed of meeting Rianna, but his twin sister did not say anything. Only a wave of hands made Renatta ask him to stay, even the woman was delirious.

“Other times if come again, please speak a few words. I want us to be able to talk. I love you. You know it's ‘kan?”

“Hopefully we can meet again, Ri. Even if it is only in the dream.”

“I go home first.” He said while wiping Rianna's headstone.

After being satisfied to talk to the twin sisters, Renatta decided to go home. When he got up from his crouching position, the woman's gaze returned to the bouquet of Lily flowers that had been there first.

“Dik, sister can ask? Did anyone buy Lily's bouquet before sister?” Renatta returned to the flower shop in front of the tomb.

He was sure that the bouquet was bought from the store, because the same wrapper he bought.

“Yes, sis. A handsome man.” Said the young man.

Renatta nodded in understanding. He then pampered.

“What is Randy's brother coming, huh?” Monologue Renatta.

“Pak, we go to my papa office.” Renatta said when he was in the car.

He wants to meet Randy, the handsome guy the florist told him about.

“Good, mistress.” Said the driver. The car left the cemetery area.

Renatta's arrival was greeted kindly by employees who accidentally met him.

Although rarely to the office, but the employees in Setiawan's office know who Renatta is.

“I want to meet with brother.” Renatta said to the receptionist.

“Please, mbak. Mr. Randy is in his room.” Said the receptionist kindly.

Renatta nodded then sauntered towards the elevator that would take him to the room of the brother.

“Then what are you going to say to Rena? You would say if you were the cause of Rianna's accident?”

Renatta's forehead wrinkled when he heard a voice from inside the brother's room. He recognized the baritone's voice.

“Papa talk to whom? Cause of Rianna accident?” Renatta.

The woman was about to knock on the door, but the rectangular board was apparently not tightly closed. Wanting to go inside without permission, Renatta unintentionally heard the voice of the father.

“I just want Rena to know the truth, pa.”

Renatta's eyes closed, he also recognized the voice of the interlocutor of the papa.

“Om Rich?” The woman was getting curious.

He pushed the door slowly, in order to hear more clearly.

“I just want to explain about the incident seventeen years ago. If I was the cause of the accident.”

The deg!!

Renatta's heart was racing to hear the husband's words. The woman's hand gripped the doorknob tightly.

Richard caused the accident seventeen years ago?!

“Then, do you think after that everything will be finished?”

It was the voice of my mother.

“I will also tell you the truth. If your company has never experienced economic problems.”

“Kak. It's not going to be as easy as Rich thought. I know exactly who Renatta.” is

“I just want my wife to know, Ran. I can't keep lying to him.”

Renatta shook his head violently. Slowly the woman's legs retreated.

What does all this mean?

Richard was the cause of Rianna's accident? All the members of the Setiawan family knew, even forbidding Richard to say it?

And again, the company never experienced financial problems?

Why are there so many secrets they hide from Renatta?

“Nona Renatta?”
