Reynald felt that someone was watching, and turned to look behind him. "Argh! What are you doing, Riana?""What are you doing? You've been smiling to yourself," Riana asked with a confused face, her eyes always looking at Reynald's cell phone.Reynald immediately closed his phone and put it on the bedside table. "Not from anyone, just an ordinary office friend." Reynald said as he grabbed a towel to shower."Oh."Riana was very curious about the contents of Reynald's cell phone, too bad she couldn't borrow it. Because the man would definitely not like it if his cell phone was played by Riana, even though Riana's status was that of a wife. So it was natural for her to want to borrow her husband's cell phone for a while, but unfortunately, Reynald never allowed it.'Should I just open it?'Riana's mind raced to see what message would make her husband smile so much that he wouldn't even notice she was there.Riana moved closer to the phone, her hand already on it. Unfortunately, the soun
"That." Riana couldn't answer properly, she was shaking violently."How dare you, Riana! You know I hate it when people touch my phone!" Reynald was very upset to see his phone in Riana's hands.On the other hand, Reynald was afraid that if Riana found out that he was starting to be interested in other women, she would be furious with him."I know, it's just that every time I see you holding a cell phone, you always smile to yourself like that makes me suspicious," Riana said quietly, a tightness in her chest."So you thought I was playing with fire?" Reynald raised his voice.Riana fell silent, which made Reynald angry."You think I would do that? What did you think of me all this time? Do you think I'm like all the other men out there who have affairs with other women?" Reynald continued to pepper Riana with questions."I just..." Riana said, unable to finish her sentence."Just what, tell me!" Reynald's face turned red, the veins in his neck bulging with emotion.Anger that Riana w
"Don't!" the woman's scream sounded very loud."You need to be taught a lesson so you won't fight anymore!" The man hit her."I won't do it again. Forgive me." The woman begged, kneeling at the feet of the man who was her husband."You need to be taught a lesson from time to time." The man didn't care that his wife was begging for forgiveness; he dragged her into the room."Teach her a lesson so she won't argue anymore!" the mother-in-law shouted, provoking him.Her husband slammed the door and dragged and pushed the unfortunate woman, causing her to fall on the bed—the place where they used to make love and share warmth."I have told you several times not to steal in my house and to do as my mother tells you. But why are you doing it again?" he scolded."I am hungry. I haven't eaten all day.""Don't lie to me! Didn't my mother feed you? Why did you steal the food prepared for my sister and nephew?" he asked, raising his voice."I wasn't given anything," the woman replied, trembling.
"Eat! You said earlier that you haven't eaten yet, right?" Reynald ordered.Riana handed the baby to Reynald, and the man immediately took it gently. In truth, Riana's husband was a good man, but his mother always made him hate her.Riana walked over to the dining table and noticed several dirty plates that no one had bothered to clean. This made her sigh deeply."I'll just eat first and then clean all this up," Riana thought.She smiled as she opened the lid to look for the food she had cooked earlier, assuming there would still be leftovers because her husband had told her to eat. Disappointment! That's what she felt when she opened the lid and found nothing. Just a few dirty plates with not even a little bit of leftover food visible.Riana walked over to her silent husband with her head down. "There's not a single side dish for me to eat," Riana said sadly."Maybe Serly finished it earlier because she was very voracious," Reynald said nonchalantly."I haven't eaten anything," Rian
"Every time she comes to this house, Mother always tells me to cook a lot of food. But she's not important enough to be treated to a feast every time she comes here. I'm not even allowed to have a bite, even though a woman like her doesn't deserve it," Riana pointed at Serly's face with emotion."Riana, don't you dare-" Mayang's mother cut her off."What? Don't you dare try to fight against all of you, is that what you mean, mother? I'm tired of being treated like this all the time. If I resist even a little, my whole body will be covered in bruises. So go ahead and hit me if you dare!"Everyone was silent, even the baby, listening to Riana's anger. After realizing that no one would react to her words, Riana decided to go to her room to change the wet clothes, which her mother-in-law had drenched her with."Rey, your wife is so bold with mother. Can't you see it?" Mayang's mother clung to her son, trying to defend him."Yes, Rey. She even called me someone who got pregnant out of wed
Reynald called the waiter to pay for all the food he had ordered.He was furious and embarrassed when he heard Chiko's remarks about his wife's faded clothes.Not like the wives of most high-ranking company executives?!"Tsk!" Reynald clucked his tongue in frustration.The man still hadn't realized he was at fault here.Riana should have been given a monthly allowance to buy whatever she wanted. But what did he do instead?Reynald grabbed Riana's arm, ignoring all the eyes watching them.All he could think about was getting home quickly and scolding Riana for embarrassing him.The sound of the door being kicked drew the attention of Mayang's mother, who looked at Reynald with a curious expression."What is it, Rey?" she asked."It's Riana, she just embarrassed me," Reynald replied intensely."How did she embarrass you? And where do you come from?" Mayang's mother asked again, glancing at Riana, who stood frozen."She deliberately ate with me in shabby clothes and let me be humiliated
"Why? Did Riana want you to hate your own mother?" asked Mayang sadly."No. I'm just annoyed that every day there's a problem in this house. Can't it be peaceful like the other houses?""You know yourself, Rey? If Riana were a daughter-in-law, she wouldn't serve her mother-in-law so badly. In fact, she made a juice for me earlier that tasted really bad and I couldn't help but scold her," Mayang explained."Of course the juice didn't taste good. It's because she didn't use sugar, so it's not good!" Reynald stormed into his room and slammed the door loudly, startling Riana in the kitchen. He lay down on the bed and sent a message to Diandra.[Have you arrived?] Reynald texted.[Yes, have you?] Diandra replied.[Yes, I have. I arrived home safely].[Then, after you arrived, you messaged me? How romantic.]Diandra added a love sticker to her message, which made Reynald even happier with the beautiful woman."What a nuisance! It would be better if you were my wife, then my day would be pe
"Yes, ma'am. I'll clean it up immediately after eating," Riana replied.As Riana stepped closer to the dining table, she found no side dishes or vegetables there. Everything she had cooked was gone, causing her to shake her head softly."It's a good thing Rey didn't bring lunch, so I can eat," Riana said to herself while tightly hugging the lunch box in her hands.There was indeed a feeling of disappointment in her heart, but Riana didn't want to think too far. Because according to her, thinking about it is not good for oneself, so as much as possible she restrained herself so that it would not become a burden of thought that would make her think badly.Riana ate with gusto, she really liked the food menu this morning. Because, every time Serly came Mayang would buy delicious side dishes and vegetables in large quantities, so when she cooked them yesterday, there were still leftovers for breakfast this morning. When else would she eat well, usually every day she would eat simple dishe

Riana felt that the soto she ate was so good, she even finished the soup until there was nothing left. After eating it all, she burped because she felt full."Alhamdulillah, it was delicious," said Riana in gratitude.Riana began to think about what to have for dinner tonight, she couldn't possibly serve her husband or in-laws an omelette. However, as soon as she remembered that she still had a lot of change from the soto, Riana would say that she wanted to buy a side dish for dinner with this money. Otherwise, her in-laws would call her presumptuous."Mom!" Riana called out to her mother-in-law in a loud voice at the door."Um," Mayang mumbled in response, too lazy to answer because she was on the phone with someone."I'll use your money, okay? I'll buy some side dishes and vegetables for dinner tonight," Riana said."Yes."Mayang didn't hear her clearly, she just answered 'yes'. Because she didn't want to hear any more of Riana's babbling.As for Riana, she cheered up because she go
"Only? It's a good job but, you're a beautiful person so modeling is the right thing to do," said Reynald, amazed by Diandra's work."Thank you, Reynald. You're a good person, I really like you," said Diandra smiling sweetly."Like me?"Reynald's heart skipped a beat when he saw Diandra nodding. Her charm never wore off! Unfortunately, he was stuck with Riana because he was caught up in the passion of youth.'Should I divorce Riana, huh?' Reynald thought, 'after all, Diandra is a thousand times more attractive than her!'**"Riana!" Mayang called out from the room."Yes, Mommy." Riana hurriedly ran over to her mother-in-law."Buy mom some chicken soup out front, don't take too long!" Mayang handed her a blue bill."Yes, ma'am." Riana quickly walked to her room, put on her instant headscarf and jacket, and grabbed her motorcycle keys.The motorcycle that had been there before Riana got married, the motorcycle accompanied her everywhere she went as a girl. Riana drove the motorcycle to
Mayang shook her head dramatically, as if being a very wise mother-in-law."How could I. I've told him several times that Riana is not a good woman to be his wife. But he still insists," Mayang said with a sad expression again."Maybe it's because of your son, Jeng. He's in love with his wife, so it's natural for him to be like that. What's more I see that Riana is very beautiful," Desi said."Not really. You don't see Riana anymore, Desi. I passed by Mayang's house yesterday, Riana was very different from when I first got married. Ugly, shabby and neglected," mocked Santi."Really, Santi?" asked Desi incredulously."Yes, obviously. Try asking Mayang, did I lie to you, right?" Santi nudged Mayang's arm lightly.Mayang, who had just drunk her juice, immediately choked, in surprise. "Of course. Riana is not good at taking care of herself, what's more she is very wasteful, every money Reynald gives her always runs out," Mayang said, starting to demonize her son-in-law."Well, be patient,
