Forced to Marry Mr. Tajir
Bau

In the afternoon, Iren invites Devi to lunch at his house. All in order to bring Devi closer to her son. And when they had finished their lunch, Iren asked Reyhan to invite Devi to chat in the garden next to his house. Reyhan could not refuse his mother's request, he complied with what he said.

Currently Devi was already sitting beside Reyhan, with a considerable distance apart. And if filled by someone else will probably fit for two people. Devi glanced at Reyhan who was looking straight ahead with a blank look. He was increasingly confused about what to do, and what to say to start a conversation, because if only silence each other, it makes it more uncomfortable.

"Reyhan," call Devi down.

"Hem..," Reyhan replied, without looking.

"Until now, I'm still not feeling good about my sister, Diva. Even my life became unsettled, because every day I lived full of pretense. Pretend to be close to you in front of your mama, pretend everything is fine. How about you talk to your mama, if we can't be together?!" Devi revealed what had been stuck in her heart.

Reyhan let out a long sigh, the time he would turn his head and look at Devi's face. "I think the same as you. But.." Reyhan hung up his sentence.

"But what?" Devi asked and could not wait for Reyhan to continue his sentence.

"But I don't want to disappoint my mother. And I think that mama's talk at that time had a point, too, after I thought about it," Reyhan said, making Devi instantly fail to understand.

"You mean, how is it?"

"Yes, I think what you were talking about back then has a point too. Maybe I should take the place of responsibility for what my father has done with you. It's just that everything takes time. Me, you, and Diva need time."

"Diva needs time to forget me, he also needs time to let me go for you. Because this was all his initial desire. At the same time, I also need time to take this love away for Diva, after which I will try to open my heart to you. If you can open your heart to me later. Right now, we can't do anything, just shake our heads in rejection. All we need to do is, just go first" the man continued.

"But it's going to be tough, Reyhan. Weight for me, you, and the Diva as well. Because something that starts with coercion is not good either, is it?" Devi did not think out, why Reyhan could say like just now.

"Yes, I know. But back in time, it all takes time. You believe in me! If not, at least we tried. We, me and you, the Diva too, are fighting together. May we all be given the bright spot and the best path."

Devi looked at Reyhan's face, for some reason she started to feel something strange. Something that does not know why it can shake his heart and soul.

What feelings am I feeling right now, God? Why have I never felt this before? Have I started to be interested in him? No, don't let this happen! The Devi in his heart.

"Hey, Devi?" Reyhan waved his hand at Devi's face, as the girl did not answer her question.

"Vi's.." Reyhan patted the girl on the shoulder in front of him slowly, then the girl finally regained her senses from her daydream.

"Em, i-iya, a-what's up?" Devi seemed nervous, he immediately shifted his eyes so that his two eyes did not meet with Reyhan's eyes that had just managed to hypnotize him.

"You want to go home now? I interjected, coincidentally I also have to return to the shophouse immediately," bargained Reyhan immediately nodded by Devi.

Over time, Rania's gestational age was about to step on twenty weeks. Or equivalent to five months. Tonight Bagas and Rania are in bed, they are thinking of a plan to hold a pregnancy anniversary event.

"Darling, tomorrow we invite the family to celebrate your pregnancy which has entered the age of twenty weeks, huh?!" tawar Bagas, he hopes that the commemoration of Rania's pregnancy tomorrow will be attended by his two families who at that time could not come.

"If it were me, it would be up to you! I'm doing well," said Rania, she woke up and leaned her back against the bed, her waist felt very sore.

"Yes, then I'll invite them via WhatsApp chat, I hope they come tomorrow," Bagas took the phone he put earlier on the nightstand, after it was done, after it was done, he put the phone back in its place.

"Huaa.. I'm sleepy, once. Then I go to bed first, yeah!" Rania closed her mouth as she yawned and opened her very wide mouth.

Rania frowned, she smelled something from her husband's mouth. Rania grunted like a cat looking for thorns. And her sense of smell stopped right on her husband's lips.

"Why are you? He said he'd sleep?" Bagas looked at Rania strangely.

"What did you eat?" Rania grunted again.

"Eat what, what?" asked Bagas confused, what do you eat?

"So, what's your dinner time?"

"I ate fried sambal ati, same rendang, even a little. Why why?" Bagas is getting confused.

"N-no, it's okay!" Rania shook her head, but she thought, when she ate rendang, it smelled strange, and the smell was very distinctive.

"Oh, yes, I forgot. When I went to the kitchen, I saw that there was another bowl of cooking covered with food caps. I thought it was delicious, and I tried to eat it. That's right, it's delicious, baby!" Bagas told with a happy face when remembering the cuisine of that one.

"Food in the kitchen? Cover the serving lid?"

"Yes, I don't know what it's called. But it tastes so good!"

Rania recalled the cuisine Bagas said just now, not long after she remembered it. The aunt said;

"This is auntie cooking clove, miss. Miss wanna try? Or just serve it at the dinner table?" ask the servant aunt.

"No, bi. It's just for aunty, and my husband doesn't like it anyway" she said.

After that the waiter covered a bowl of jengkol bowl using the serving lid in the kitchen. Apparently that made Bagas' mouth smell until Rania snorted like a hungry cat.

"Haha..." Rania laughed after remembering that, it turned out that Bagas was a master tajir had eaten jengkol stew. Want it to feel Rania laugh even harder, even to the point of wanting to salto him for laughing at Bagas who used to insult the stinky food, like the jengkol and petai that once brought bu Sari first to his home.

Bagas looked at his wife's astonishment, why did Rania suddenly laugh so hard. He did not realize that Rania was laughing at him.

"Huh," Bagas let out steam from his mouth into his palm, after he had kissed it turned out. "Kok stinks, huh?"
