Part 12

The atmosphere of the dining table was very quiet this morning, Fano focused more with the food. Stefano had been busy with his own mind. It's been past years why he could not forget the events that happened to him first. Rindi glanced at Stefano, even though she only knew her husband. But Rindi knows very well that Stefano is not fine now.

"Chan, want this beef?" Rindi asked, trying to open the conversation. He remembered Victor said, Stefano really liked meat.

Stefano is now looking up and his view is on the new beef this time Stefano looks at a different menu.

"Is this beef? What do you cook it?" Stefano asked because he was confused by Rindi's cooking.

A faint smile was engraved on Rindi's lips, her hands and then reached out a piece of meat for Stefano.

"This is called rendang meat, I cooked it with an instant seasoning that I got at the Asian Mart yesterday. Although it is not as good as Indonesian cuisine, but this is quite feasible to eat," said Rindi then put the meat pieces on Stefano's plate.

With a slightly confused forehead, Fano cut a little and then enjoy the meat. His tongue did feel a little strange taste. But the tasty seasoning which from nowhere made Stefano round his eyes.

"How? Delicious?" Rindi asked curiously.

As usual, even though Stefano is indeed very good. Still just a short nod of the head that Stefano gave to answer Rindi's question. Again, Rindi's enthusiasm was immediately broken by Stefano's cold attitude.

After finishing breakfast and Rindi clean the kitchen. Rindi prepares to go to college today. Rindi came out of his room neatly. Rindi saw Stefano sitting in the TV room while playing his iPad. Rindi approached Stefano and then cleared his throat. Hearing Rindi Stefano's voice immediately turned his gaze from his iPad.

"Chan, I'll go to campus first, okay? "Said Rindi quietly and very politely. Chan put his iPad then then stood up.

"Let me take me, today I will not go to the studio. After that I will go to place, Jay Hyung," Stefano said then wearing his jacket on the back of the sofa earlier.

Rindi's head shook his head quickly while moving his hand. She refused Stefano's invitation, she had decided not to be too close to Stefano. Rindi was afraid that he could not control his own feelings.

"I can take the bus, you don't need to take me. I'll go first." Rindi then caught Stefano's hand then kissed the back of Stefano's hand. Fano's eyes are rounded now, what Rindi does Fano is not really understanding. When they finished marriage at that time, Rindi also kissed his hand. Now that Rindi repeats again. Rindi is aware of her husband's confusion. A thin smile then carved on Rindi's lips.

"This is one of the things a wife does to her husband, this is a sign that I ask for a prayer of everything I will do today. I go first, Chan".

After explaining all that to Stefano and saying hello. Rindi left Fano who was still digesting Rindi's words. His heart suddenly felt warm when Rindi said that he was his wife. Stefano smiled shyly at himself now.

Rindi was tidying up his books when several women were standing before him now.

"So you're wife, Stefano oppa?" said one of the women who had bob hair, slim body and very white skin.

Rindi immediately looked up and nodded her head agreed. Rindi can't cover it again now. Because her face is definitely displayed anywhere now. One more woman who has long hair and has a slightly more yellow skin than the one, sitting next to Rindi then seizes a bag that Rindi holds.

"Sorry, what you do is mine," said Rindi politely a little disliked the woman's behavior.

The woman then snorted and instead threw Rindi's bags away. As a result all the contents in the Rindi bag were scattered now. Rindi opened his mouth in disbelief in what she saw now. Rindi then ran over to his bags and items.

"Actually what you do, we don't even know each other. Why do you do evil things like this to me," said Rindi a little grumbling. She really doesn't like the actions of people he doesn't know.

One other woman right behind Rindi then kicked the bag that Rindi was holding until it hit Rindi's hand.

"Aaaa ..." a little loud Rindi shouted now. Rindi felt even his pinky finger so hurting now.

The woman then crouched in front of Rindi who grimaced to feel her hands very sick.

"Listen to me carefully, don't because you're the wife of a Stefano Chan then you can boast here. I also don't know how possible, Stefano oppa likes a girl like you. Tch ..."

The woman spit beside Rindi then then go with her other friend leaving Rindi alone. Rindi who is still in pain sitting on the floor while looking at his swollen fingers now. He sighed deeply and grimaced again.

"Is this bad that I have to get after becoming your wife, Chan?" asked Rindi Monologist. Rindi sort his own chest as if giving strength to himself now.

Stefano who said this morning did not go to the studio. Tonight he actually spent the night in his studio. Stefano was making a song that suddenly crossed his mind this afternoon. By wearing his minus glasses, Stefano seriously pressed Tut Piano in front of him while occasionally scribbling on the book beside him. He didn't even realize what time now, Stefano will always forget the surroundings while making a song. The ringing of his cellphone made Stefano snort in annoyance then threw the pencil that he was holding roughly. Instead of picking up the call, Stefano immediately deactivated his cellphone without reading the call from whom.

Rindi, who was waiting for Stefano to go home, frowned and looked at his cellphone now.

"Where is he really? Why didn't he pick up my phone, he said today he was off," Rindi murmured while continuing to stare at his cellphone.

Rindi then typed a short message on Stefano. After pressing the Sent button, Rindi put his cellphone on the dining table. Rindi looked at all the dishes she made tonight. Rindi sighed heavily, Rindi put his head on the dining table. Her eyes then fixed on his right hand, 3 of the 5 prays of his right hand swollen now. That's all because of the actions of 3 women who are not even familiar. But Rindi believes that 3 women are Stefano Chan fans.

"Father, Mother, you know. Your child here gets so many obstacles. Hopefully I am strong in going through all this," Rindi softly.

Her eyes then wet by itself. He cried not because her hands hurt, but marrying a Stefano Chan was not as easy as what he thought at that time. Not to mention if later this contract marriage will be revealed, what will his fate be like. Rindi cried alone at Stefano's dining table until finally his eyes were tired and asleep. Rindi doesn't remember what time he fell asleep tonight.
