The Perfect Life
Episode 15's

“Ma, how is this? I don't want a divorce from Alby, I don't want to be a widow.” Rima whined to her mother.

“That's all because of you. Why the jungle fell out of bed. If you could pay better attention to the jungle, all these things would never happen.” Riska's upset. He blamed his son.

“Kok mama even beat me up? It's all mama's fault. Why also at that time mama asked me to marry Alby until I had to pretend to be sick.” Rima is not to blame.

“You really think that jerk is going to marry you? You should be grateful that Alby was marrying you back then. But now you're making stupid things.” Riska stared intently at her daughter.

“Ok, okay. It's up to mom. But what now, Alby wants to divorce me, Ma.” Rima is back on the main issue. Arguing with his mother is endless. The middle-aged woman was indeed stubborn. Not giving up even on his son. That's probably why his father died early due to the stress of facing his wife.

Riska takes a rough breath. Silence thought. The voice of the goal-goal people talking from outside his study was heard. He was in his shop.

Rima just kept quiet, watching her mother's serious-looking face. Awaiting answers.

“We have to talk to his parents. Alby would have wanted it if his parents had asked.” Riska gave her advice after a few minutes of thought. He got no other way.

“But what if Alby tells them the truth? They're gonna hate us, Ma.”

“True too. You anyway. So the kid is really stupid.” Riska's upset. He breathed a rough breath. He began to despair. There seemed to be no way to stop her daughter-in-law's desire. “Ah, Mama has an idea!” Suddenly Riska exclaimed.

Rima's eyes sparkled. “What, Ma?” tanyanya. Reflexes he advances a little bit of his body.

“You pretended to be pregnant. I'm sure Alby wouldn't divorce you if you were pregnant.” Riska smiled, thinking it was a brilliant idea.

Rima's shoulders instantly slumped. Breathing out of despair. “Ma, we've lied to him. Alby wouldn't believe it. How about he tell me to go see a doctor?” Rima disagrees with her mother. The first lie was frustrating. What if you lie again and get caught. Rima no longer knows how Alby would hate her. He was actually starting to love that guy.

“It was easy. Your pregnant age can be manipulated. We'll call that fake doctor again.”

Rima glared in annoyance. “I don't want to, Ma.”

“Then let Alby divorce you.” Riska looked at her daughter irritatedly. “Already, now you're home. Mama wants to meet with customers.” Riska stood towards the door.

“Ma,” call Rima weak.

Risk doesn't care. He's pissed. His daughter would not listen to him.

Rima leaned against the sofa, took a rough breath, then looked up at the ceiling of the room. The voice of his mother who was talking to customers sounded faint in his ears. His fingers tapped on the arm of the sofa. Mind wandered. In an instant, he was struck by a dilemma. He was confused how to solve everything. He really didn't want Alby to leave him. He needed that man to fill his days. He lowered his head, massaging his throbbing temple. His head is a little bit dizzy.

He came to his mother for advice, but instead made her more dizzy. Should he let that man go of his life? Oh naw. Rima couldn't imagine what it would be like to live without that man. What about the Jungle who needs a father figure. Alby is not his father, but he loves him very much. Yeah, but that was before he knew the truth. Then what about now? Does Alby still love Rimba like he used to? Uh. Rima doesn't want to know. He just wants Alby to be by his side forever.

Rima got up from the sofa, moved towards the door. Dawdling in her mother's room only gave her more headaches. He came out to his mother who was talking to a young woman. “Ma, I'm home,” part.

Riska glanced at her daughter, then returned to the woman and smiled. “A minute, yes.” He pulled his daughter's hand, slightly away from the young woman. “You've thought about what mom said?”

Rima took a breath. “Later to think, Ma. I'm tired. I want to go home.”

Riska is upset. “You it, yes. It's up to you. Mama is also tired.” Riska was desperate, then left Rima just like that. Back to the woman.

“Analysis and business strategy is the approach used by companies to understand and plan the necessary steps to achieve their business goals. It involves gathering information, evaluating the internal and external situation of the company, as well as designing an appropriate plan of action. In general, there are six general stages in business analysis and strategy ..”

“Interruption, Sir.”

Alby turned to the source of the voice. He saw Vita raising her hand.

“Emm, sorry, Sir. Not six but seven.” Vita.

Alby looked at the slide. “Oh, yes. I mean seven.” Alby sighed softly. Really, the problem he was facing right now made him unable to concentrate. He then continued his lesson.

“It looks like Mr. Alby is having a problem, deh.” Dewi one of the students and admirers Alby opened his voice after the lecturer passed.

His three friends, Vita, Ani and Dina nodded approvingly.

“But roughly what problem, huh? I'm sure it's not a campus issue.” Ani expressed her opinion. His soul began to rise.

“Kalo is not a campus problem, a possible family problem.” Dina.

Vita was silent. However, his mind wanders. From the beginning he had suspected his favorite lecturer was having problems. His face was not as usual which always looked flat and cold. His face looked more tired.

“How according to lo, Vit.” The goddess asked because she saw Vita was silent.

Vita just nodded in response.

“Which one? Campus problems or family problems?” Goddess clarifies.

“It looks like a family problem, deh.” Vita who is actually not a person who is too kepo, suddenly slip. When it comes to his favorite lecturer, Vita can't be silent.

The Goddess, Ani and Dina again agreed. The four of them then nodded, like representatives of the people who were discussing the problems of their people. However, this was not a matter of the people, this was a matter of the lecturers they admired. They discussed what possible family problems the handsome and cold lecturer was going through. Is it with his parents or his wife? Holy hooch! They're very serious. Seriously, they don't even feel hungry. They forget the cafeteria which is always a place to rest when they finish receiving courses.

*****

Alby sat down in his chair. Sighs slowly, massages temples. Stress thinks about the problem. For two days he did not return home. He temporarily lived in his apartment which he occupied when he was not married. He was still confused about how to convey this to his parents, especially his mother. His mother would have strongly rejected his decision. His mother loved Rima very much, especially his mother and mother-in-law had been friends for a long time. Moreover, their marriage was only as long as corn. He could not possibly tell the real problem. She didn't want her mother to hate them. Uh. What a noble heart you are, Alby. Betrayed like that, still thinking about the child and the selfless mother. Alby snorted at his own thoughts.

Back he sighed. Then I heard knocking on the door. Before long the face of Randy-his fellow friend appeared from behind the door. “Not lunch?” Randy asked without coming in.

“Ok. A minute.” Alby. Rather than staying in his room also made him dizzy.

“Ok. I wait.” Randy pulled his head and closed the door.

Alby tidied up some messy files, then picked up the phone on the table and then moved out.
