HONEY OF MY WIFE'S CHOICE (RUBBY)
Hurt with tenderness

In a five-star luxury restaurant, Mas Edra invited me to meet all his co-workers. The neatly arranged luxury car rows, signifying how high class the meeting was.

I was insecure of myself. Assert Me, who is just a nurse joining them, a group of people with higher education and bourgeois views.

But Mas Edra assures me that as long as I hold his hand, no one will dare touch me.

Step by step I swung right, entering the room that had been ordered. Mas Edra opened the door, and sure enough, all eyes were on us.

The eyes are full of question marks, their eyes are as if looking at me as a criminal. Although, there were some who greeted me with smiles.

"Ehh, Mas Edra. This time with Rubby?" ask a friend.

"Yes, Ra, Diana's still not feeling well. Don't you want to take him?"

"Ngga papa, Mas. Same time. Hay By, meet my business partner Rara Mas Edra," said the woman kindly.

"Me, Rubby... Mba," answered me, returning his handshake.

"Yes, I know. I went to your wedding yesterday. But, I'm in a hurry, so spit it home."

"Oh, thank you, Mba."

"By, Mas, enjoy the dishes, yes. I want to welcome another guest," said Rara, to us.

Mas Edra invited me to grab a drink, and sat down in the chair that had been provided. After that, some servants came, and gave us food to eat.

" By...."

"Yes, Mas?"

"You're acting normal, yeah. Don't be awkward, Mas'll stay a while to meet some colleagues,"

"Yes, Mas. Ngga. By waiting here while eating," I replied.

"okay... Uh, that's Temen Mas dateng. I go first, yes," she said, by stroking my hair.

After leaving, Edra. I started to enjoy some of the food that had been served on my desk voraciously. I'm hungry because I haven't eaten since.

While enjoying the food, it seemed like some of the women next door were using me.

"Eh, you know not. That's Edra, take his young wife,"

"Yes? How can it be, Diana where. Something new, something old is left."

"Says Diana's sick, getting worse."

"Waah, pity. Sick again, married again. It's just getting mixed up anyway."

"Where he said, yes. That honey of hers is her personal nurse Diana loh."

"Ouch... Miris, I've been terrified of heartache, Mba. If it's a private nurse, a confidant should be. But really, even a stab from behind."

"Dine, Jeng. We must be careful, do not love the full trust of outsiders. That, proof. Said the little girl from the village. But, no selugu the fact."

"Yes is... Mas Edra is right, handsome, tall, successful and tajir mlintir. Who doesn't get stuck. A naive girl can be an actor, don't think it out."

My heart aches listening to those who speak to each other according to their version. Because I couldn't stand it, I stood up, wanted to miss the party. But I hit someone.

BUUUGH!

" Oh... Sorry, " said I.

" Rubby? " say Him flatly.

" Huh... Mama Mirna," I replied, surprised.

"Have you dared, follow Edra's meeting?" mama asked Mirna, keeping her elegance.

"Sir Dee, who asked, Ma," I replied, nervous.

"Why do you obey? Find face?"

"Do not cry, there, take Mama's drink."

Smooth command. However, it holds a million painful meanings.

I'll get her a drink soon, and then I'll give her.

"It... Ma,"

"Indeed if there is already a unifying soul, want to be taken where ya nempel. Want to be dressed as beautiful as anything, it's already attached to you," He said gently, but pierced right into the heart.

Everyone is staring at us. I could only be silent, as much as possible holding back my tears. But it finally broke too.

" Crying, By? Why cry? Mama's just telling me the truth, right, "

I just nodded and could not answer anymore.

" You, don't feel like you've moved up the caste just because Edra invited you here" he said calmly.

"What, would Mama want against me?"

"Nothing, just want to make you aware of your current position, you're already the third person in my child's household,"

"Ma... I'm not an actor" I replied, wiping away tears.

But, Mama Mirna was angry and doused me with water that was in the glass slowly. Shaking from my head to my face. "So what, what's the right name for you?"

"MA!!!" yell Mas Edra.

"Mas.." I said slowly.

As Edra approached me, he took off his coat, put it on me, and cleaned my face with a tissue.

"Edra's... How are you, honey?"

"Ma, already. Don't make Edra angry."

said Mas Edra, by hiding my face in his arms.

"Why angry? Isn't that right Mama's word? He's that,"

"Ma, Rubby's not a maid, and Rubby's not a performer either. Mama hear?"

"Darling, Mama just-"

"Stop, Mom. Enough, Edra's home. Edra doesn't want to fight Mama here,"

Mas Edra stepped his feet out of the neighborhood, with me remaining in his arms.

"Get in the car, By," asked me.

After that, he got into his car and asked me to talk. He clasped my hand, and looked at me sharply.

"By..."

"It's a risk, Mas. It hurts, but the fact is that By is the second woman in Mas Edra's life, and the third person in your household. By realizing it,"

"By, but you didn't hurt anyone with that decision. Diana asked for it, and we can only obey her, for fear if it's her last wish."

"Yes, Mas. Sorry, By is still weak. By has not been able to hold the anger, and By cries, because of their words."

"Yes, honey. Thank you, for understanding. About Mama,"

"I'm sorry, Mom, Mom. I have known my mother since I first met. By'll get used to it later, along with the long time we're together."

"Mama did hurt gently, By. You should be able to digest every sweet word that comes out of her lips,"

"Yes, Mas. By know,"

Mas Edra kissed my hand warmly, and invited me home immediately.
