Part 18

3 days Stefano did not go anywhere. All day he was only in the room and came out just to eat and just watch TV for a moment. Rindi, who became awry with Fano's attitude, could only see and ensure that her husband's condition was fine.

This morning after finishing breakfast, Rindi approached the fano who was reading the news on his cellphone while drinking coffee.

"Chan, today I have a practical test. Maybe I'm a little night home," Rindi said quietly.

Stefano turned his gaze to Rindi for a while, his head nodded then he looked back at his cellphone. Rindi was silent, Stefano's attitude was getting colder to him. In fact they don't interact at all as usual.

"Then I go ready to get to campus first," continued Rindi again holding his voice so that it sounds as natural as possible.

Again, Stefano's head just nodded, not saying anything. Rindi left Stefano before feeling chaotic, ignored by Stefano made Rindi want to cry now.

Victor frowned at the contents of the Rindi locker full of broken rotten eggs. The fishy and rotten odor burst from the inside, even though inside the locker there are books that have not yet been completed. Rindi sighed heavily at the condition of her locker now. Rindi then turned around and was surprised that there was Victor behind him.

"Omo ... you surprised me, Vic," said Rindi while holding his beating chest.

Victor chuckled then apologized to Rindi. Victor's hand then pointed to Rindi's locker.

"Since when did you get treatment like this?" Victor asked seriously.

Victor believes this is not the first time Rindi has gotten something like this. Rindi pretended to smile and then shook his head not justifying Victor's allegations.

"This is the first time, Vic. Even though I don't know what my fault is," Rindi answered lying.

Victor did not necessarily believe what he heard. Victor tasted his eyes to look at Rindi inquiring. Rindi avoided Victor's gaze and then said goodbye to clean the locker. Victor himself is still staring at the Rindi locker who is really dirty now.

Rindi just entered the apartment where she lived, when her cellphone vibrated. Rindi reached into her pants pocket and took her cellphone. Rindi smiled happily when she saw the name of his aunt listed on his cellphone screen.

"Assalamualaikum, auntie. How are you?" Rindi greeted her aunt then chatted at length. Rindi put the big paper bag that he brought near the shoe rack next to the door. Rindi walked to his room while continuing to chat with his aunt.

Stefano heard Rindi's arrival, he opened the door to his room and looked out. His wife was no longer visible, fano heard Rindi's conversation on the telephone. Stefano came out of his room and walked to the kitchen, he had been waiting for Rindi to go home. He hasn't even had dinner because he wants to have dinner with Rindi. He again realized that for several days he had silenced Rindi.

Fano's forehead frowned when he saw a slightly big paper bag next to a shoe rack. Stefano walked to the shoe rack and took the paper bag. Fano opened and saw its contents, Fano's eyebrows were tedied to see the contents of the paper bag it turned out that the books were dirty and a little unpleasant odor.

"What is Rindi these dirty books for?" asked Fano to himself.

The next day Rindi was preparing breakfast when Stefano came out of the room in the neatly there. Stefano immediately sat at the dining table because there was already a cup of coffee for him there. Fano sipped his coffee slowly, he occasionally saw his schedule on his cellphone. Rindi approached Stefano and put the toast in front of the fano.

"Sorry this morning I didn't cook anything, because I had to take a morning exam," Rindi said quietly without lifting his head.

Rindi hasn't really dared to look at Stefano, she is still afraid that her husband's mood is still ugly.

"It's okay, this is enough for breakfast," Stefano said then immediately enjoyed his breakfast.

Rindi himself then sat in the chair right in front of Stefano. Rindi did not immediately enjoy his breakfast, she actually looked at Stefano who was still silent. Rindi sighed heavily then then looked away at the other way.

Stefano looked up his gaze from the food in front of him. He saw Rindi's face that looked gloomy. Stefano put his bread then sipped his coffee again.

"What is it?" Stefano asked suddenly to make Rindi look surprised to the refrigerator man.

Rindi's head shook her head indicating nothing. But not Stefano if he is not memorized with his wife's behavior.

"If there is nothing, why sigh like that?" Stefano asked again.

"This is my chance to ask him what he's silenced me for days. But what if he will be angry again," thought Rindi with a monologue while continuing to stare at Stefano's face closely.

Stefano himself frowned in confusion. Why is Rindi just silent when asked. Stefano then remembers something.

"Oh ... yes, why did you bring home dirty books? Where did you get it and for what?" Stefano asked remembering the paper bag near the shoe rack last night.

Rindi's eyes widened wide, she was surprised. Why could he be that groaning so, now Rindi is confused about what the question from the fano is.

"Why are you silent? You hide something from me?" Stefano said was suspicious of something.

Rindi quickly shook his head. Rindi seemed to think for a moment, fortunately Stefano's cellphone near his coffee rang.

"Anyone who calls my husband now, thank you," Rindi murmured to himself.

Stefano also forgot the question on Rindi. Now Stefano moved from his seat and away from Rindi. I wonder what he was talking about with the caller, but Rindi was still grateful not to answer the question from her husband.

"The woman is the wife of Stefano Chan?" Said one of the women with a small face and also very white skin.

Another woman who used to suddenly disturb Rindi in the class nodded her head agreed. Seen the white girl's hand squeezed a coffee glass that had no contents in his hand. The girl then threw it roughly.

"Do what I said to you at that time. Toring it smoothly was no use. For her, she could not meet a man I could only have," said the white girl then walked away from 3 other women who were once annoying Rindi.

"She seems to have been obsessed with, Stefano," said one of the three women.

"You're right, but do we have to do what he told me? If we get caught we might be in big problems," said another woman.

The only woman who did not speak, the woman who kicked Rindi's hand at that time. The girl was seen thinking about something while continuing to see Rindi who was reading a book not far from him.

Ting ...

Rindi's cellphone joked, Nana who sat in front of him poked Rindi softly.

"Your cellphone sounds," Nana said, pointing at Rindi's cellphone in the bag.

Realizing that Rindi nodded her head, then reached into his bag and read the incoming message. It turned out that it was from the bank, it seemed that it was again a loan of bank aunts and uncles to be paid with Rindi savings. A heavy breath came out of Rindi's tiny lips. Nana glanced at a glance then stop reading and looked seriously at Rindi.

"What's wrong? Do you have a problem?" Nana asked curiously.

Rindi looked up then put his cellphone quickly and then shook his head. Luckily once again the cellphone ring saved Rindi.

"From, I'll pick up Chan first," said Rindi.

Nana smiled then nodded her head agreed.

After completing today's exam the two women finally left the classroom with a happy face. Nana walked while holding Rindi, both of them walked out of the campus area while chatting. They plan to go for a walk during the holidays. Rindi who never went wherever she said yes to Nana's invitation. Even though she still has to ask permission from her husband.

"Rin, wait here a minute! I need to go to the bathroom."

Nana shot away leaving Rindi who chuckled at Nana's behavior, walking alone towards the gate. She plans to wait for Nana at the security post because of the cold weather.

In another place where Stefano keeps on calling Rindi. But not raised at all. Earlier Victor and the others came to the studio to see Jason's recording. Victor tells of the Locker incident experienced by Rindi. Victor suspects that Rindi often experiences bad treatment from his friend. Stefano threw his cellphone in annoyance. He was really worried because his wife could not be contacted.

"Hyung, calm down! She is on campus, nothing will happen to Rindi," said Jipyong trying to calm Stefano who had started to get emotional.

Stefano turned to Jipyong, Fano would already raise his voice but he remembered. He is forbidden to do bad things like that to others. Stefano hit the sofa hard, he was really holding back anger now.

"Why does Rindi never tell me anything," Stefano said.

"Hyung, Patience may Rindi have a reason not to make you worry," Victor said.

"She's my wife, Vic how am I not worried if it's like this," said Stefano again.

Now the others were silent seeing Stefano. Naturally, Stefano is very worried now. Jay took the cellphone in his pocket, he tried to contact Rindi too and it turned out to be the same.

Victor remembered Nana, Victor then took his cellphone quickly.

"I will contact Nana, she must be with Rindi now," Victor said.

Nana heard a Victor's phone on the other side.

"Na, is Rindi with you now?" Said Victor to the point.

Nana hasn't answered yet, Victor's cellphone has been seized now.
