The Resurrection of the Sick Wife (Return of Marisa)
16. Lunch Together

"What?! The marriage book is fake? How can you, sir?" pekik Marisa when handing over her marriage book to one of the employees who served in the Religious Court in her City.

"Yes, Mom. This book is fake. Didn't you check it before you signed it? In a moment, I'll show you an example of an original marriage book!" said one of the tall, thin-moustached men.

Steven who was also beside Marisa was no less surprised. The man was also not out of thought with his best friend's husband, he could have lied to Marisa by falsifying their marriage data.

"So all this time your marriage was just a game, Ris. And that's all they planned without your knowledge. They really aren't in their right mind, right? Want me to samperin keep me chopped to make sate human tuh people, Ris. Very nice of me! Bevel!" maki Steven when he heard a speech from one of the employees at the place.

Marisa who is still a little shocked, now immediately realized because she heard the curse of her best friend. The young lady also never expected, if the man she was defending desperately turned out to be a very dangerous fox.

"So all this time you guys have been having a husband-wife relationship that is the fall of zina dong." whispered Steven.

Marisa immediately swerved with a small head.

"No, Stev. If that doesn't need to be discussed first. I don't want you to judge me by a misunderstanding you don't know the facts about. So I beg you, now focus first on the problem that is in sight." Pinta Marisa while whispering as well.

Steven who understands Marisa's condition, inevitably the man also directly obeyed the request of his best friend.

"All right." Steven said briefly.

Not long after, the man returned with an example of an original marriage book. Then she crammed the two marriage books and explained the difference.

"Please take a look at the logos, writing and symbols found in both books, Mom! Surely you can see the awkwardness of the book you brought earlier." said the man while handing the original marriage book to Marisa.

Upon seeing a very clear and striking difference, the young woman immediately thrust back the original marriage book example to the man's employee.

"alright, Sir. Thanks for the explanation. Excuse me." said Marisa who immediately said goodbye without making small talk first.

Steven who had been left behind, now immediately chased after Marisa who walked quickly.

"Wait, Ris! Slow down dong!" whining Steven.

"If you don't want to follow me. Please go home, Stev. I can go alone to finish all my affairs." Marisa said with a sharp look.

Steven who has never seen a burning anger through the eyes of his best friend. Now he was surprised by the change in his attitude after knowing the game of the fox man.

"Good, Ris. I won't comment much anymore. Because I'll go wherever you go today. So where are you going now? I'll drive you." said Steven who tried to succumb to the young woman who was burning with his own anger.

"I want to calm my mind before I return their actions, Stev." said Marisa, who began to lower her tone.

Steven nodded his head and immediately grabbed the woman's hand towards his car. Marisa obeyed and followed Steven's long footsteps.

After arriving at Steven's car, the man has not asked Marisa anything more. Because he knew the slightest mistake he made, the blaze would burn his best friend again.

Ten minutes in the car was very quiet. Steven who chose to keep quiet and let Marisa clear his mind back, patiently waited for her while closing his eyes.

"Stev's?" call Marisa.

"Hem?" steven with deheman.

"Am I that stupid and that bad, so they treat me like a boodouh?" marisa asked with a heavy sigh.

After shaking his head, Steven immediately grabbed the young lady's hand and immediately aligned their bodies.

"Never say that, Ris! To me you are a perfect woman. And he is a man who is so stupid that he cannot see the beauty and sincerity that you give to him. From now on, never regret what happened. Close the stained sheet tightly and try to open the new sheet again with a new person, Ris. Believe me if not all men are just like him!" steven with a smile.

"Yes, Stev. You're correct. I also hope that someday I can be with someone who is sincere and can accept me as I am, without seeing social status and material points of view" said Marisa.

Finally Steven felt very relieved, because now Marisa is better than before. The anger that was about to explode could now be muted by the woman herself after pondering for a while.

"I wish that person was me, Ris." Steven murmured softly and almost inaudibly.

"What did you just say, Stev?" marisa asked with a full glance.

Steven was immediately excited, because he almost slipped when he said things that were not yet time he said.

"Eh, what? What did you just hear? I just didn't say anything, Ris." I'm Steven.

Although Marisa did not believe the words of her best friend, she was forced to nod while turning her eyes forward.

"Yes already. We'd better have lunch first, I'm hungry." - Marisa.

Steven who saw the change in attitude Marisa, now just bite his lower lip without replying to the words of his best friend.

'Sorry, Ris! It's not that I don't want to be honest with you. It's just that it's not time for me to express this feeling to you. Moreover, your problem has not been solved yet, so I have to hold it in first for a while.' Steven's inner.

Along the way the atmosphere is not as usual which is always crowded even though only two. This time the atmosphere became a little quiet because Marisa was more silent and only spoke if Steven started the conversation.

"Now what do you want to eat, Ris?" ask Steven to break the silence.

For a moment the young woman fell silent and thought about the food that could clear her mind again.

"Do you have any advice, Stev? Eating a meal that is suitable for relieving upset for example."

Instead of answering Steven's question, Marisa is asking something the man has never done.

Yes, although Steven is often upset and irritated but he always vents everything to the food that Marisa likes.

"Em, do you want to eat meatballs and chicken noodles in the city park? I usually eat there when I'm upset. Especially if you add a lot of sambal, must be steady tuh." cetus Steven while chuckling.

The young lady momentarily thought back, as it was one of her favorite foods as well. And there was no harm in him eating it during this hot afternoon.

"It could be your idea, Stev. Still memorized it turns out you are one of my favorite foods" said Marisa with a small oddity.

After deciding where to eat lunch, Steven finally immediately increase the speed of his car so that they immediately arrive at his destination.

It only takes fifteen minutes, they also arrived at a city park that in recent years they often visit, as one of their favorite places.

"Well, it's been a long time since we went to this park together. Usually every time we go home from school we always stop here to buy snacks or food" said Marisa who walked hand in hand with Steven.

"Yes, Ris. After my departure to California, I also often miss our important moments that are simple but also have a certain impression. Especially when I prank you, it was one of those moments that I missed so much." Steven teased as he chuckled.

Marisa quickly snickered and gave a small pinch in Steven's arm, making the man stir while grimacing.

"Awh! Pain, Risa. Turns out your deadly pinch you still did it for me too. Pain tau, Ris. That's so mean!" steven grumbled as he poked his lips.

Marisa who saw Steven's funny face, immediately laughed loosely. The one who was laughed at now only gave a small smile.

'Laugh, Risa. And forget all your sorrows!' inner Steven.
