The Second Woman's Regret

The Second Woman's Regret
New Bride


"We are legally husband and wife. We are a couple!" Mr. Saka who then asked to be called mas, whispered in my ear so as to make this daydream scatter. He looked at me lovingly so that I was carried away by the atmosphere that felt more and more alive, while the father and also the ruler also had a witness back home. "I promise to make you happy, baby!" said Mas Saka again.


"Yes, we are happy for each other" I replied.


"Where are you going on your honeymoon?"


Saka's question made my cheeks blush. We who have not been too intense to know each other actually need more intensity together to know each other, but at this time there are still many things in the office that we have to solve, he said, moreover, Saka did not have a confidant yet, so we both had to intervene directly.


"We focus on the job first, mas. There will be time to go both "I said.


"Oh so yes, fine." replied mas Saka. While talking, suddenly his HP rang. A call from her sister-in-law questioning the truth about our marriage. Mas Saka seemed to respond to mbak Andin somewhat upset, but the conversation did not last long because the phone was immediately closed.


"Why? How angry?" my many.


"It's okay, just annoyed, it turns out the security guard in this villa really can't keep a secret. Just report everything to papa. But papa is not gentle, instead of asking directly instead using mbak Andin. Continue ...."


"Keus mas even upset with mbak Andin because he wanted to help Papa say the same Mas?" I guessed, smiling.


Mas Saka added a frown. "Why do you guess?"


"Because every problem is related to the mas family, always mbak Andin who advanced and mas always upset. Aye, right?" i smile.


"Huffff, but I'm not wrong, right? Try you in my position, definitely not happy, right Ra? Made like that. I'm Papa's son, but the prestige is too great to talk to his own son."


"Just like you, what's wrong with trying to talk first. Marriage is a sacred thing, both sides of our families should know, unless it is already unwanted like me." I said, in a soft last voice.


"Ra, sorry." Mas Saka held my hand tightly. "I promise you, I will bring you a warm family!" said. "You won't be disappointed in the future. We're going to have lots and adorable kids. So that you are happy and do not feel wasted anymore." he rubbed a soft tear on my cheek that had dripped.


***


Me and Saka went back to Jakarta. Mas Saka who originally wanted to spend the night at the top villa owned by his family changed the plan because he felt spied on by the villa keeper who of course his father's choice.


When the car passed the guard post, Mas Saka took the time to stop, he quipped the guard. I who saw his actions can only shake his head because of his attitude like a child. But he did not care, the important thing is that his frustration has been channeled.


On the way we held each other's hands tightly. As if I wanted to say I don't want to be separated forever. Actually I wanted to make an announcement about our marriage that despite this impromptu but makes me relieved, but not so when I believe no one will care about me. I'm alone, there's only Saka who cares about me even Dad ignores me, just wants money from my husband.


The car driven by Saka drove into the area of one of the five-star hotels in downtown Jakarta. He had already booked a room for us tonight, only as soon as he entered his hotel I was shocked by the largest room.


My fate has really changed. From women who want to be made a second woman, now get a husband like mas Saka. This smile is growing. It disappeared when his hand touched mine.


"Darling, can I kiss your forehead?" tanyakanya.


"Huh?" I took a few steps back.


"Why?"


"No, nothing. I'm gonna take a shower first." I said. Then rush into the bathroom. Unfortunately there were no change of clothes so I had to wear the same clothes as before.


"Have you taken a shower?" he was waiting at the bathroom door.


"Huh, uh, already. But there are no change of clothes. How about I go home first,"


"Take a change of clothes."


"Buy in the front mall only. How's it?"


Feeling the fresh breeze to be at a distance with Saka mas, I agreed to his proposal. We both came out of the hotel room to the mall with a skywalk because the mall and hotel are still one part so it is connected to the overpass.


While on the way, he continued to hold tightly to my hand. We are like newlyweds who really do not want to be separated. But of course still maintain the prevailing norms by not excessive indulgence of intimacy.


Saka and I went into some pretty famous outlets, picked out some clothes. Actually I have refused, want to buy clothes under the price is more affordable, but Saka mas force. He also chose some couple clothes with me. Again I refused to wear a twin because I was embarrassed because not a teenager who was kasmaran, but because forced mas Saka finally the twin clothes into the shopping cart.


"All that?" ask mas Saka. "That means we go home now. It's eight o'clock." he showed me the clock.


"E, that. I'm hungry." I said, pointing at the belly I deliberately made more deflated by holding it.


"Hungry? We'll eat at the hotel, yeah."


"Don't. Just eat here, I like the food in the restaurant there." I deliberately walked first, pretending to look for a restaurant that I like when in fact this is the first time to enter this mall. Unfortunately, it has been three rounds yet there is also a restaurant that suits me.


"Where's the restaurant, honey?" ask Saka who looks tired.


"There was, but I forgot where it was. The food is so good. I want to eat there again."


"What name?"


"Forgot."


"Okay, what kind of features?"


"Mmmm, what's it like? That, there's food, the restaurant's cool, the service's good."


"I mean, the kind of food? Fast Casual Dining, Casual Style Dining, cafe, fast food restaurant, fine dining, or what?"


"Mmmm, that, what is it?" I scratched my head that wasn't scratching.


"Darling?"


"What's? I don't know. I mean I forgot."


"A Tira Pratiwi forgot? It's impossible, baby."


"Yes how else. I totally forgot. I'm human too." I'm getting nervous, afraid of being caught lying.


"When do you eat at that restaurant?"


"About eight or nine years ago, so it's natural to forget?"


"Honey, this mall just opened this year."


"Huh?" I fell silent, cold sweat thinking of the next answer. Stupid me, why would be careless if you want to make up.
