The Five Billion Wife
Chapters 13. Meet old friends

Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law are gone. Riana went back to her days as usual. The prayer equipment that Riana ordered, had also reached Riana's hands. But Riana still did not dare to give all that to Rio. Riana waited for the right time.

Suddenly Riana's phone rang. The incoming call from a number he was unfamiliar with, made him frown. He became confused between lifting or not.

["Assalamualaikum," said Riana softly.

"Wa'alaikum salam. Riana, it's me, Handi," replied Handi from there.]

["Oh, Sandy. How do you know my number?" ask Riana.]

["Sorry, I asked for your number from the house mom. There's something I want to talk to you about" Handi replied.]

["Sorry, didn't I say that I was married. I can't leave without my husband's permission" Riana replied firmly.]

["Riana, how about this is your family. Didn't you always want to know your parents' graves?" ask Handi.]

Riana was silent for a moment and she began to remember her childhood which now only remained vague. Since her parents died, she was handed over to an orphanage that was a long way from her home. At that time little Riana was traumatized and she did not want to talk to anyone. Because when the accident happened, he was the only survivor. When he grew up, even though he had recovered from his trauma, he forgot where he and his parents used to live.

Handi is a parlourmate with Riana. At the age of 15, he was adopted by a wealthy family. Even so Handi never forgot Riana. But on the contrary, Riana was not so close to Handi.

Handi's one-sided love, makes her strive to realize Riana's wishes. Hopefully, one day Riana will see the sincerity of her love. Riana herself, has let go of her past and is married to Anwar.

In fact, in Riana's deepest heart, knowing her past was the very thing Riana wanted. If at this time Handi can make it happen, it would be nice.

["Riana, how, why are you quiet?" ask Handi after a long time Riana did not answer.]

["Good. Just share the address, I'll come" said Riana.]

["Good. Assalamualaikum," said Handi ended his call.]

["Wa'alaikum greetings," replied Riana.]

Riana looked towards the wall clock not far from where she was sitting. He put his phone on the table and a message came in shortly after. The address Handi had sent him.

For a while, Riana was still thinking between asking Rio for permission or not. This is not a matter Rio should know about. He alone knows enough about this. Rio won't care either.

Riana hurriedly changed into a neat outfit. Although she did not wear a hijab, she did wear clothes that were quite covered. He's looking for Bik Ijah in the kitchen.

"Bik, Riana wants to go first. Want to meet friends. At least it will be a bit late afternoon. If Mas Rio came home late and I haven't come home yet, just say see an old friend" Riana said.

"Okay, Miss Riana. But, Miss Riana wants to go alone or need a driver? Bibik is afraid that Mr. Rio is angry, if he knows that Ms. Riana is going alone" asked Bik Ijah.

"This is very important to Riana, Bik. Hopefully before the afternoon, Risna can go home" replied Riana.

Riana immediately came out to wait for the taxi she had booked online. After the taxi came, Riana rushed in and asked the driver to take her to the place that Handi had sent her.

The taxi stopped at a very nice cafe. Not just anyone can get into it. Although Riana's heart was a bit doubtful, she kept coming in. Information about her past was enough to make her dare to act without her husband's permission.

"Riana, here!" shouted Handi with a smile.

Riana rushed towards the table that had been ordered by Handi. Riana tried to smile even though she forced it. Handi invited Riana to sit down gently.

"Handi, what information are you going to give me?" riana asked impatiently.

"Eat, why eat?" riana asked confusedly.

"After eating, I'll give you what you want" said Handi.

Riana could not resist Handi's wishes. Just eating, it doesn't matter to Riana. Riana and Handi are fun to enjoy Riana's favorite crispy chicken. Handi looks happy to be able to eat together with Riana. Her childhood love is delayed.

Meanwhile, Rio and Yuda have just finished seeing a client, intending to buy Riana's favorite Crispy chicken at the cafe. Rio insisted on coming in because he wanted to order by himself. But, when she saw Riana eating with a man, it made Rio burn jealous.

From his face, it was obvious that Rio was very angry. Although he tried to suppress it, but the look of his eyes looked bright red. Rio looks, ready for war.

"Yuda, take me there sure !" rio's decree pointed towards Riana and Handi.

"Sir Rio, remember, this is in a public place. Don't let Miss Riana be ashamed" kaia Yuda reminded.

"I know," Rio replied briefly.

Yuda led Rio towards Rian and Handi's table. Rio was looking at Riana who was eating with his fun.

"Riana ...," called Rio in a heavy tone.

Riana was shocked when she heard Rio's voice. Even more shocked when he saw Rio was already behind him. Riana felt very guilty for leaving without permission.

"Mas Rio?" riana muttered. He stopped his eating.

Riana rushed to her feet and walked over to Rio who looked very displeased.

"Sorry, Mas Rio. Riana left without permission" Riana said.

"Please wait in the car" Rio said with a trembling tone.

"Yes. Handi, sorry, I'm going home first" Riana said before leaving.

Riana hurried away leaving her husband. He knew Rio was very angry and he should not argue.

Meanwhile, Rio approached Handi and greeted her sharply. Sandy also won't lose. They seem to be fighting each other's eyes.

"Don't see my wife again" Rio said breaking the silence.

"If I don't want to?" handi replied as if she was Hovering Rio.

"Don't tell me that you ...," Rio said stalled.

"True, I love Riana" said Handi.

Rio smiled cynically. Her pride as a husband is challenged. But he did not want to lose to that man.
