REIJI

“I'm sorry, Yang.... Sorry...any punishment I receive. but please.... Yang.... don't...”.

What I said solemnly to Lia, when I had been floating her into our room.

Because that's how I feel now.

Afraid that Lia would leave me with her strong self asking for a divorce from me.

And if Lia still insists on it— asking for my talaq, I also want to kneel in front of her. To hell with pride as a man and husband. I just want to keep the woman I love, even my household with her.

And when Lia didn't show any protest or antipathy to me when I hugged her after some pretty emotionally draining tension between us, I'm relieved—feel I have hope for an opportunity to apologize from Lia.

He also asked that he no longer discuss divorce, or temporary separation from me, because the temporary one can be permanent if given a gap. And I will not allow the presence of that gap between me and Lia.

So now, I will try my hardest to get sorry from Lia and make Lia no longer have the desire to divorce from me.

Which I think I succeeded.

Although Lia did not say directly if she accepted my apology, but her attitude made me think that I still had hope to improve myself to be a better husband for Lia. But I'm sure, if Lia can feel my sincerity and earnestness for an apology from him and also stop to leave me—or ask me to drop a talak on him.

----

Lia's face was no longer full of anger at me, nor did she look at me with a hostile look when she had turned around, then made herself face me.

But I couldn't calm down, before I got the reassurance from Lia's mouth, if she wouldn't mention divorce anymore or anything related to our separation.

So I told Lia, if I could do anything to atone for my behavior that made her upset and even seemed to be angry at me, it was my fault that Lia might have found fatal.

Anything, other than divorce or separation.

If Lia asked to separate the room—though heavy, but I can still agree if the terms he proposed.

Also, if Lia asks that I no longer ask for my special ‘hak’ as husband. Heavy, but it's okay. If that's what Lia wants, I'll agree not to ‘touch’ Lia.

Although the shadows of me going through god-level stress are tussling over missing ‘jatah’ getting rightfully enjoyment from Lia, which is important—at least, Lia continues to be my wife.

Still alive with me.

Lia and I stayed together.

Wherever above that, I still have a lot of opportunities to be able to win the heart and trust Lia back.

Then when Lia said,

“Yakin you can lacquer the terms I love?”

I instantly pounded was – was.

Feeling relieved at the same time.

Because with Lia saying so, it means that she wants to give me a chance and will not ask for divorce from me again.

But still I was pounding was – was, for fear of what I think if Lia who asked to separate the room or forbid me to touch it again—is a condition of him.

“God willing is sure, if it has nothing to do with the separation between us..“.

But then I'd be a fool if that's what Lia asked for.

So I immediately answered for sure with a confident expression on Lia.

----

Already do not care about the fate of ‘juniorku’ in the future which is imagined will be sad fate, if what I think is the condition of Lia, sebodo lah.

What will be will be, about my junior this—which is important to me at this time, is that Lia is getting calmer and no longer talking about our divorce or separation no matter what form it takes.

Even hopefully after I can do the conditions that Lia would tell me to do as proof, Lia never thought about it again, and for that I waited for Lia to say the terms.

“What are your terms, Yang?”

I asked curiously, after Lia confirmed my words on any condition I did as long as it had nothing to do with the separation between us.

Where the conditions that Lia said later, made me stunned until I was stunned, so I really did not think that it was what Lia wanted me to do as proof.

Terms that even I did not think if Lia would ask for it, which is only one— sounds simple, but rather complicated for me.

----

“Request all the money you ever gave back to the masked pelacor seed of that friend.”

It was the condition that Lia proposed.

“Can, you do that?...” added Lia.

All I realized was looking at me full of probes.

Even a little trivial.

Maybe because I didn't answer it right away.

Then the search and the triviality is reflected again in the words of Lia who might catch me being stunned.

“Weight huh?“

As soon as Lia asked later.

Still staring at me full of probing and petty.

“Can.”

I quickly asked Lia a question that thought my silence was because I felt hard to do the conditions she asked.

And I'm sure his mind was on me doing that condition because I had feelings for Irly. I was not surprised because of that.

Well, I was kind of weighing it up. But my mind was more focused on how I asked for the money that I gave willingly to Irly all this time.

Simple anyway, just install the attitude of stupid like a person who is collecting debt for example. Or just be shameless and thick face on Irly to do the terms of Lia's.

So I was quite stunned because I thought of the series of sentences I would say to Irly on Lia's terms.

Not that I was stunned because I was heavy on the basis of having a how-to affection for Irly. Then I refused to do what Lia wanted, which I was sure was true if Lia had a perception of me having more feelings for Irly, and would be reluctant to do so.

I am more sad than reluctant.

One, I gave the money voluntarily to Irly.

Good ones every month, including those 300 million.

Second, the money I gave to Irly was also not just for her—but for Argan.

So yes really really I asked again the money to Irly which I believe he has also used for the needs of Argan and himself.

I don't know if the 300 million— because the money I gave as preparation for Argan's treatment after I knew he had a serious congenital disease. Which is because I also know, Irly's finances do not support if Argan in the future must take more serious action than before. That's why I was moved spontaneously to disrupt my personal savings with the amount I mentioned earlier and give it to Irly just in case.

But I forgot to take care of my wife's feelings, who finally found out on her own.

And this is how I am now, so I must do what I have never done before.

Never imagined that he would have to do that one thing.

****

But for the sake of the integrity of his household, especially in order to maintain Malia to continue to be his-Reiji with full confidence that he appeared to Malia— to agree to the conditions requested by his wife.

Although Reiji had said that he could do the conditions Malia asked for with his faith that he had shown to Malia, Malia still seemed to underestimate him.

“Yakin can?...”

As soon as Malia responded to Reiji's “Bis” greeting.

Reiji fixed the answer.

“Do it now then (Do it now then )...“.

Malia was a little smirking, with an expression that depicted her still having doubts about Reiji— in the man's view.

“Heu?...“

And Reiji was gasping.

Malia is really testing it now.

****

“Ya. Just use my phone. You also do not have a phone number Ir—dia, right?..“

But Reiji, who did not want Malia to doubt, underestimated his intentions, would do anything for Malia, who would not ask him to drop the talaq again on his wife, or Malia asked for a temporary farewell by staying separately—lut went on to say so after she gasped for a moment over Malia who came back to scowl—but not with a sharp repetition by looking at her full of hostility like when Malia ‘ exploded’ some time before.

“This is the phone? Front me and please in loud speaker.”

“Iya, Yang---“

“Thanks before----“

“Anything. Just so you no longer offend all the things related to our separation..”.

Reiji answered Malia's thanks, then cupped Malia's face to thank Reiji - because Malia clearly saw Reiji looking earnest to do what Malia asked.

“But please promise—even though I really hope our quarrel earlier—ya just assume we had a fight because I had raised the voice even to point you—our rather large quarrel earlier, we had a fight, is the first and last..” said Reiji again.

“Lakuin aja first,” Malia said.

“Promise first, please?..” please Reiji.

Malia finally nodded.

“Iya. I promise...” said Malia later.

****

“Why?”

Malia asked as Reiji shuffled out of bed and saw Reiji was a bit wobbly.

“Lupa naro hp where,” replied Reiji.

“So are you from the multipurpose room?” cetus Malian.

“Oh yes. I take it there first,” said Reiji.

****

“By the way Avi where, Rei?..”

Malia asked again as Reiji was about to leave their room.

“There is outside.”

“I go outside if that's it.”

“Continue your terms earlier?” ask Reiji. “You ask me to do it in front of Avi as well?...”

Hearing Reiji's words just now, Malia immediately boasted her smile.

“If you don't mind. There are better witnesses, right?----“

“Noted---“

“Noted make?” malia asked, because Reiji's words just now sounded ambiguous to her.

“Jadiin Avi witnesses. If you'll promise to do what I asked you to do if I live up to your terms. Fair enough for both of us.”

Reiji smiled slanted in his heart.

‘Most I can take advantage of Avi's position as a witness to make Lia promise to never see this again. Doesn't he not do his promise in front of people?’

While Malia was a bit stunned for a moment, while being impassive,

‘Kok I feel my speech earlier will be a boomerang for me huh?----‘

****

MALIA

Relieved.

That's what I feel now.

And that relief I was also able to catch on Rei's face after we spoke with no big emotional blow.

Although it was a bit much, my frustration was still with Rei. In fact, my dissatisfaction with him has been supporting the seeds of masked actor that friend.

Either Rei gives money to Shirly it is for her son's needs. But for me it was still depicted as my husband supporting another woman.

Different, if the seedling named Shirly is the Rei family. I wouldn't mind anything if it was about helping other family members.

Shouldn't you give priority to helping a troubled family first rather than an outsider?

Or well, if Rei helps his other best friend— who is the same gender as Rei.

I won't be as good as I was. Pun, won't be a problem.

But this is a woman who in fact has made me uncomfortable since the beginning of my marriage and Rei.

The woman my husband once loved. Then it still looks very close even though Rei has married me. And because of him, Rei became dishonest and disavowed with me.

How could I not be furious when I found out that Rei was also supporting him?

----

But well, my rage is starting to recede now. I put forward the terms that I thought Rei would heavily do.

Then Rei will give a rejection, although not directly—trying to finalize my conditions so that Rei asked for the money he once gave to the seedling of the actor with a variety of words that may contain wejangan.

And I'd really get out of my apartment and Rei tonight if that's what Rei did. Which apparently is not.

Although Rei was silent for a moment when I submitted my conditions to him in response to his request that I not ‘step away from him, but then Rei seemed to firmly agree to my terms.

Terms with some frills behind it.

Maybe Rei's a little cocky.

But I don't see that gerrymandering on Rei's face anyway. Not in his heart.

Sabodo is ah.

Now I'm just waiting for Rei to pick up his phone, to see if it's true she'll do the terms I'm given where I've been sitting pretty with Avi on the couch in the lounge room double the living room of my apartment and Rei.

----

Well, Rei sincerely turns out— will do the terms I asked. Because after I saw him clutching his phone, Rei immediately slid himself between me and Avi— sitting in the middle of me and his sister, Rei, until I can see freely all that is plastered on Rei's phone which now has opened one instant messaging application a million people, then opened one private chat column with only anonymous numbers there.

But obviously—although it's not memorized, I know if it's Shirly's contact number. Who was about to press Rei's phone icon in the upper right corner, but then the screen changed.

Because there's an incoming call.

Seriate.......

Thank you for being faithful.
