Tama And Ratna
48. Retaliation

After returning from the clinic, Ratna really did not let go of Tama. Wherever her husband went, to the kitchen, to the living room, even when Tama was in the bathroom to take a bath, Ratna waited for him in front. Tama understood the hell, how much fear Ratna currently has.

"Mas, usually I'm fine when you have to go far for the assignment. But now my courage is gone. I don't want to be away from you, Mas" Ratna said on her way home.

Tama was still able to hear the sentence kept twisting in her head and even more painful after Tama saw for herself how Ratna kept tailing her.

"Dec, break yuk. Let the spit be healthy" Tama told Ratna, who wanted to follow her into the kitchen.

"No way" said Ratna.

"Why you, baby? So scared, huh?" tama asked as she stroked Ratna's cheek which either because of her feelings or indeed looked thinner. Ratna nodded at Tama's question still with the same look on her face.

"Here hugs Mas," said Tama as she stretched out her hand so that Ratna could enter into his arms.

Just like a baby koala who kept asking for a sling on her mother, Ratna continued to hug Tama as her husband's tall body walked over to the dispenser to pour a glass of water. When Tama drank, Ratna was still in her position. Occasionally Tama's hands were raised to stroke Ratna's head then came down to hug her body. Tama sipped the water in his glass until it was half gone, then the other half he offered Ratna who immediately drank it until it ran out. Finished drinking, Tama carried Ratna up to the room and put her to bed. Ratna immediately pulled Tama's hand so she wouldn't stay away.

"Just a Deck, just a moment. Turn off the lights as well as check the door first, you're here only Mas followed later."

"No way."

"It's just for a minute, not 5 minutes."

"Follow."

"Dek Ratna, my wife loves you if you are rich gini will continue to fall ill again. Come dong, fought a little bit with his fear," said Tama trying to patiently give understanding to his wife.

It seemed like a nightmare because losing Radea made Ratna weaken. Ratna had a story by phone, he said Radea who is a physiotherapist had an accident after she worked. Not because the woman was speeding, but because there was someone who carelessly cut the road making a motorbike Radea was driving to hit the road barrier and entered the right lane and was immediately hit by a truck. If a job that does not bet on life alone can destroy someone, what is the news with Tama that every duty he can only surrender to his death.

Tama decided to wait until Ratna fell asleep, then she checked the front door, all the windows and then turned off the lights. Finished making sure of everything, he grabbed the charger and then paired the phone so that the battery power could be fully charged when he woke up tomorrow. Tama slowly climbed onto the bed, bringing herself closer to Ratna who was already asleep. Tama raised his wife's head slightly and then slipped his arm around her. Ratna responded. Ratna shifted her body and first eroded the distance with her husband, she also directly wrapped her hands on Tama and returned to calm in her sleep.

"Good sleep my baby" whispered Tama before peeping his wife's forehead and then following her to sleep.

...***...

The next morning, Tama thought Ratna would still be acting just as fussy as last night, but her guess was wrong. Ratna doesn't even look like the one who just got sick. It was like he was reborn with a burning energy. After dawn Ratna immediately stepped into the bathroom, she cleaned her entire body from toe to head. After finishing her bath, Ratna sat in front of her dressing table, she turned on the hair dryer to dry her shoulder bob. Finish with hair dryer Ratna switch with catokan. The hair was arranged little by little until it was neat.

Ratna then applied makeup with such intention. Starting from the morning skincare, followed by BB cream, powder, eyeshadow, blush, lipstick, even Tama can see Ratna polishing her eyebrows even though all this time Tama knows Ratna hates to push her thick eyebrows. Tama was even ready with her black uniform when Ratna was still busy choosing which clothes she would wear. Original, Tama rather horror if Ratna has confused choosing clothes. Because Ratna will always ask for her opinion even though a Pratama Aji who daily only wear uniforms where understand about fashion.

"The blue sky is a good deck, and your subordinates wear black cloth pants," said Tama.

Fortunately, his advice was accepted and Ratna immediately opened her bathrobe just like that to change clothes. Tama turned her back to Ratna. Not that he didn't want to see but the problem was that if he saw the curves of his wife's body this early, Tama could go crazy all day. He will continue to look at the clock and can't wait for the clock to come home because it has to satisfy something at home.

"Mas, am I pretty?" ask Ratna to Tama.

"Beautiful, as always," said Tama as she kissed Ratna's lips at a glance.

"hold. It's still 12 hours away" said Ratna, who has memorized her husband's will.

"What do you want and how beautiful? Tumben really," said Tama.

"Today is the day of revenge. I don't like the same face. It's good to see my husband more handsome than her husband keep wanting him to ask. Hmm, he had to see Adiratna's murya before he could get close to Aji's AKP," Ratna said.

"What's? What did you say?" ask Ratna.

"No. I didn't say anything."

"Masa? I'm sure Mas said something, '" said Ratna.

"Oh no, this is just the beretnya Mas dirty, tomorrow washin ya Dek," said Tama trying to divert the conversation.

"When you're home. Now go first yuk. Do you want anther or do I go alone?"

"I'm anther, but not free. Since you're beautiful again, we'll play tonight" said Tama.

"Yes-yes. Yuk ah leave, I can't be late" said Ratna.

Tama nodded then slipped her blue beret on her shoulders and walked after Ratna who had already held her bag out of the house. After Tama exits, Ratna locks the door while Tama turns on the car and pulls it out of the yard. Not forgetting Ratna locks her fence and she gets into the car and leaves.

Today was the day he met Zahra. At about 11am Ratna sat in front of the physiotherapy room just to wait for the woman to come out of the room. Ratna greets him, just as kindly as when she doesn't yet know who Zahra really is. Ratna also bought him a drink and took Zahra to the park where they used to talk.

"I didn't think I could even meet a great girl who won Aji's heart. I thought she was going to marry her model boyfriend, that she was married to a beautiful doctor like you" Zahra said. As Ratna expected, she would allude to Tama.

"Thank you" replied Ratna.

"You're lucky Ratna. Aji is hard to approach. If not with the woman he loves who wants to come closer, let alone smile, just glance at not want," he said again.

"Well that's it. He was very cold with women other than his wife" Ratna said.

"But it's an advantage for me. At least I don't have to worry he'll be double. Because there will only be me in her eyes" Ratna said.

"You seem very proud of him."

"of course. I'm proud, because of the many women who chased him I won him" Ratna said.

"So Zahra, I'm asking you one thing. Whatever you and my husband have been through in the past, don't you ever talk about it again" Ratna said.

"Can't you just let us stay friendly? You must have heard it from Aji, right? I was Rangga and Aji used to be best friends" he said.

"You already have Bagas as your husband, isn't it enough? Like you said. Pratama Aji would never glance at a woman other than his wife. I just don't want you to be hurt" replied Ratna.

"I've lost my dream. I even lost the ability to support my body with both feet. I only asked you for one, let Aji stay close to me. I miss my friends, I miss him. Because of me he had a long nightmare. I don't want him to continue to bear that guilt. I wanted to show her that I was fine now," Zahra said.

"But you're paralyzed not because of my husband. You purposely sabotaged that rope to get Tama's attention, right? By making her feel guilty you'll keep tying her with the burden that she's the one who made you this way, right?" this time Ratna changed her tone, she was no longer smiling like before.

"Ratne."

"I also know you're just using your husband's Bag to get your love back. The reason why he could twist the facts and try to separate me and my husband is you right? Be honest with yourself. Ahh, you also no longer need to pretend to be paralyzed in front of me. Don't forget I'm a Zahra doctor. I can tell which ones are paralyzed and which are not. Your feet are even fine. You know why? Since you are still able to move it, you can also still lift both your legs well. Look, how your legs stiffen when your lies are exposed" Ratna said, staring at Zahra's legs, which had been slightly exposed, as she closed. His knees were also firm and strong enough to keep Zahra's legs from falling off the footing.

"You lie and use their friendship to get what you want. Then you asked me to just shut up? Don't dream of Zahra." said Ratna then left him just like that.

Relieved that Ratna was finally able to avenge a bit of her revenge on Zahra. Maybe the effect of the existence of Tama's ex-lover who still forced to turn around made Ratna so know how to gelagat an actor when in action. Yep, Ratna's immune. Zahra's medical record is in her hands. Thanks to Jay's help, he managed to get Zahra's medical records from the doctor who was previously responsible for Zahra.
