The Return of the First Wife
Chapter 20 - Time to Act

...༻⌘༺...

Beno smiled and immediately told her idea. He proposes to Altesa to learn martial arts on Revan.

"What's? I didn't hear wrong, did I?" rika's response was in disbelief.

"You're not making this up, Ben. Why should Revan? I can practice martial arts elsewhere. I'm sure Revan won't have time to train me" Altesa agreed with Rika.

"Yes, Altesa was right. Your idea is too much anyway. If Altesa fought back with a punch, wouldn't it bring hostility to Wildan?" Rika spoke while extending two hands forward.

"It's not. Learning martial arts is just in case. We don't know what Wildan will attack. This is all for the sake of protecting Altesa's self-esteem" Beno explained at length.

Altesa tilted his head. He thinks Beno's idea has a point. Given she still holds the legal status as a wife. One day Wildan could have suddenly asked for a ration in bed.

"Your father's good, Ben. Well then, today we're just looking for a martial arts training ground." The spirit of Altesa rose again.

"If Altesa agrees then I will also agree. Regarding the strategy to reject Wildan's touch later, we should write one by one. I have a lot of plans." Rika took a piece of paper and a pen. He invites Altesa and Beno to give a reasonable idea to write.

"First, what should Altesa do when Wildan suddenly gives a hug?" rika said while looking at her two friends in turn.

"Altesas can feign sneezing or nausea." Beno mentioned his suggestion first.

"I used that idea this morning. But I chose to pretend to cough" Altesa said. Tell me what was in nature this morning.

"What?! Wildan has dared to approach you?" Rika's eyes are patterned. His gaze seemed to demand Altesa to explain further.

"What did he do this morning? Kiss you? Hugging you?" Beno was also curious.

"Come on, I think this morning he almost kissed my lips" Altesa said.

Rika and Beno are shocked not dumbass. It turns out that besides being cunning, Wildan is also a striped-nose man. It was only fitting that he was easily tempted by a woman like Erma.

"Aaaarghhhh!!! I really want to tear Wildan apart!" sue Beno with a feeling of annoyance.

"Just don't let him touch you, Al! Now I really support you to learn martial arts!" Rika is making a sound.

"Really! I'll tell you a good training ground for you" Beno said. He and Rika give postitive energy to Altesa's resistance. They soon went on to write a list of strategies on how to resist Wildan's touch.

Time shows two o'clock in the afternoon. Altesa went to Beno's proposed martial arts training site. The place is simple. He went in and registered himself there.

"Are you sure you want to sign up?" ask the respsionist who is on guard.

Altesa nodded confidently. He was given a training schedule. Altesa should come to practice the day after tomorrow night.

Altesa is on his way home. Since Mr. Vishnu could not be trusted, he thought about finding a new lawyer. But hiring a lawyer is certainly not as easy as flipping a palm. Altesa had to find a trustworthy lawyer. He also does not have much money. Altesa doesn't feel good about constantly borrowing Beno and Rika's money.

'I better find the evidence first. If I raise a lot of money, I'll find a lawyer. I need to focus on approaching Wildan and Erma at once. Should I complain to them?' all sorts of ideas sprung up in Altesa's mind. Even a sneaky idea he never did once.

...***...

Arriving home, Altesa sees Wildan and Erma sitting chatting in a gazebo near the pool. He smiled, then went into the room.

"Time to action!" altesa exclaimed as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. He immediately changed his clothes. Her face was so she could look beautiful. Altesa certainly uses thin make up. All that he did so that his intentions were not too obvious.

After putting on makeup, Altesa came out of the room. He joins the gazebo with Wildan and Erma. The two men were both upholding the body when watching the arrival of Altesa.

"I can join you, right?" ask Altesa before occupying the available seats.

Erma reflexes staring at Wildan. She hoped her husband would do something to get Altesa to leave. But what he found was Wildan's vulnerability to Altesa. The man didn't seem to blink his eyes.

"Mas Wildan!" Erma called out. Make Wildan jerked to the point of squinting. The man immediately turned to look at Erma.

"Why?" ask Wildan. He tried hard to cover the panic.

"It! He wants to sit with us here he said!" furious Erma. He was certainly jealous to see Wildan's fixed gaze on Altesa.

"Come, why not?" wildan. Worse, he turned to Altesa again. Developing a smile with sparkling eye conditions.

"What?! Why.." Erma's face looks sour. He thought Wildan would drive Altesa out of the gazebo. But in reality it is not. Erma was at a loss for words.

Altesa was pleased at Wildan's acceptance. Even so, he did not immediately sit down. Because the goal now is not only to approach Wildan, but also Erma. That way, the sooner Altesa will get proof.

"Sister Erma doesn't like me joining here. My arrival must have been disturbing," Altesa said as he looked towards Erma.

"Of course it's disturbing! Your presence is never considered here!" suhut Erma ketus. His two hands crossed in front of his chest. "And Mas Wildan! Why is it that he sits here. You don't usually know!" he said who now speaks to his husband.

"I just feel sorry. You're here with me anyway. I also want to prove Altesa's sincerity. Is it true that he intends to live in peace with us?" Wildan looked calm.

Erma tightens jaws. He threw away his pouting face. Seeing Wildan's acceptance, Erma felt increasingly threatened.

Altesa sat down. Surprisingly he chose a seat adjacent to Erma.

"Son, I really want to start a new life. Where me and Brother Erma can be good friends" said Altesa. Self-imposed. Though he continues to recite various swear words for Wildan and Erma.

"Don't be a good ass! I know you just want to win Mas Wildan's heart! Your boay hole must have been itchy, right?" Erma replied with a rude word. Honestly speaking, Altesa was very angry at the insults. But he should be able to hide his anger as much as possible.

Altesa. "No. Don't talk like that, brother. Mas Wildan it belongs entirely to Brother. You two love each other. Although I still hold the status as Mas Wildan's wife, but I don't care if I have to have a relationship like a friend chatting with him. I just want to be treated well" he said at length.

Erma gasps. He observed the facial expression that Altesa showed. Ensuring the seriousness of the woman.
