MALIA

Not done with the curiosity of why Rei lied to me for his absence at the event that I had prepared, my brain back he made to think quite hard.

For the invention of a shopping receipt with two types of items in it, if I don't remember wrongly. Because on the basis of my confidence that was too high when I found the receipt, I put it in the trash can in Rei's car later.

Because I thought, those two types of items are the little gifts Rei prepared for me.

But.....

Until Rei and I reached the apartment until bedtime, the flowers and chocolates I found the receipt never reached my hands?.....

Even until the next day, and until Rei bailed to go to work - the two things I was waiting for, I never received. Did Rei forget to give it to me?

---

“You to the airport, drive your own car or get picked up by the usual car anter pick you up, Rei?” I asked Rei as I was preparing his pilot uniform.

“I drove myself, Yang..... why?---“.

“Ga anything, it's aja.”

I said relax.

“But I can't pick up, huh Yang?---“

---

I'm asserting.

Rei said his work schedule, exactly like the work schedule I had from Mr. Raka.

So my brain doesn't have a perception of suspicion.

Also when Rei said, “I can't pick you up huh, Yang?”

“Iya, you told me earlier....”.

“I came back here again maybe around 5 or 6 pm, but after that there was a meeting at the airline office that did not know until what time..”.

“Ya is already a---“

“Iya,” Rei. “You brought something from Surabaya?.....”

“Ga do it. Tiramisu is also still in the refrigerator---“

---

Rei just left for work at about 11. Although there was still enough time left if Rei drove me first, I suggested that I drive alone.

“Do you want me anter?----“

“Iya---“

“Ya udah.”

“Some you won't pick up, will you? If you're anther, I'll take a taxi home as well. Bring a car instead of having to wait for a taxi that likes to be difficult if I go home tengo.”

But after I think about it again.....

“Eh, yes Rei, I was ushered you aja.”

“Suddenly change your mind?” cetus Rei's.

“The balance is a little bad to carry. I guess not changed the oil deh?...” I said accordingly.

“Yes already, just take the key first---“

♦

“Aduuuh.”

“Why?----“

“Hp I missed kayaknya---“

“I'll take it.... You go to the car first....”.

“Truly?---“

“Iya. Where is your phone?”

“It looks in the room...”.

“Ya. You go there first to the car.”

“Still, yes?....”

MALIA

The corner of my lips lifted slightly when the elevator door closed, where I was alone in it.

Rei didn't come in, because he was going to get my phone left in our room.

I deliberately stayed rather, on the basis of my curiosity over a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates-if I don't remember wrongly, then, the one on the purchase receipt I found in Rei's car.

Where those two things, never got to my hands.

If Rei forgets, I might find those two things at the very back of Rei's car. And this is my chance to pull my husband's car.

If Rei bought flowers and chocolates for me, then wanted to give them to me as a surprise, it felt like a long time ago he had silenced flowers that would have withered if left all day in the car.

And the chocolate will certainly melt, even if Rei buys the chocolate with a close package of dus.

The escape to kebablasan is that Rei?.....

---

I was struck when I had opened the very back of Rei's car, and the two items that I had suspected were there were not there in fact.

My brain thinks hard. Then I remembered the trash can in Rei's car, where I put the receipt in.

Although I doubt if the receipt is still there, though, considering that Rei was diligent in checking back the car and the small trash can in it--and would diligently throw out the contents of the trash can when it contained, he said, when Rei got out of the car after using that car.

Although I doubt I will find the receipt of the purchase still in Rei's car trash can, I keep rushing to check it after I close the back door of Rei's car.

♦

‘I'm sure I said in the receipt it wrote a bouquet of flowers the same brown!’

Malia sat in the front passenger seat, after what she suspected about the dumpster in Reiji's car was just right.

The trash can that usually only contains toll road receipts only or occasionally filled with snack packs is empty. Clean. Reiji Car. Nothing was in it as usual.

Which only occasionally there are stains of cigarette ash, or toll road receipts and parking that one or two scattered.

The rest is no dirty garbage in Rei's car.

“Meet ga Rei?” malia asked who stopped her daydream, when she saw Reiji had come.

Where Malia immediately asked about her phone to Reiji who immediately gave the flat object to Malia.

“Nih..

Reiji spoke while giving the phone belonging to Malia, which Malia immediately received.

Malia put her phone in her briefcase.

♦

‘Eh, but Rei snecekin hp me ga huh??----‘

“Why?----“

“Heum???”

“Ngeliatin I so?”

Reiji asked Malia while looking at the face of his wife who in Reiji's eyes was watching him.

“Ga can care for husband's own face?”

Reiji smiled amusedly, as Malia answered her question with a bitter, but not serious look.

“Strong tension. Want PMS for sure...”.

‘It looks like Rei ga scuffing my hp,’ Inner Malia. ‘Kalo he scuffed, surely he discussed my chat with Mr. Raka.'

♦

‘Although I only briefly saw it stroke, but I'm sure it's not wrong read--‘

“Actuation.”

Malia gasped as her cheeks felt pinched with anxiety.

“Heum?...”

Malia turned spontaneously to her right.

“Again any problems in the office?...”

Then Reiji asked.

“Kok as from yesterday I noticed you a lot of bengongnya?....”

“Engga no problem anyway, just more work and confused as to which one to do first.”

“Huumm...”.

‘Gue tanya ga ya?’

“But later any busy, lunch do not be a momentary yes?....”

“Iya...”.

♦

Until he has reached the lobby of the office building where he works, Malia chose to silence to ask additional things that make him curious-other than, for example, Reiji kept his lie on the day of a small celebration plan prepared by Malia.

Itching to ask Malia actually.

But his heart said, if Rei still hides the truth about the real reason why he didn't come on that day - then it could just be the answer to the flowers and chocolates that Malia wanted to ask him that, it's a lie too.

‘Times yes I have to follow him, anyway?!....’

Malia, who was a little less focused on her work, was back in shape as she was taking a break to make milk coffee in her office pantry.

♦

‘Private detective is really no service in Jakarta???......’

Malia monologued again in her heart, as she chose not to go straight back to her work cubicle after the milk sachet coffee she made had been finished.

‘Gue googling try...’ Malia monologue in her heart again. While he grabbed the phone from his pocket blazer, where after Malia saw his phone, there was a chat message coming in from an unknown number.

I thought you'd moved out when I saw your husband in this place.

The message was written with an attachment to a photo of Reiji entering the lobby of an apartment that looked foreign to Malia.

But after seeing this, I think this is not where you live. Because the woman who is with your husband is not you.

Where under the second message there is one photo attachment that Malia immediately clicked to upload, because he set his phone to not automatically receive chat messages that attach photos or videos.

A photo, which makes Malia's heart immediately feel unbecoming made.

Because in the photo, there is Reiji who seems to touch the head of a woman who smiles at her husband by hugging a bouquet of flowers.
