Suddenly a Husband
Reni Can't Be Repatriated


Reni smiled at me, she still gestured for me to come closer. But I kept my distance. I felt that Reni who was now in front of me was different from the Reni I knew. What nature is this. Why he can be mediocre here when I question his existence. He forgot the rules anyway. We're not really married, just on paper. It was to save his son later. His parents also lost their hands. This kind of position is really uncomfortable.


"Ren, I think you should come back soon." I said. Reni who was smiling turned silent. His smile is gone too. "I'll ask Riko to pick you up, he'll take you home. He is a doctor, InshaAllah also knows how to safely take care of you when on the road. With him you're better than me who doesn't have a medical background." I said again.


"Why is that? You don't like me here? Oh, I understand Ben. My presence is a barrier for you to be free to get close to that woman. Aye, right? Ben, what good is he? Just a girl whose origins are unclear. Even your family does not appreciate it, why should you pay attention to the woman? Why Ben?" suddenly Reni became hysterical. He even got up from his seat, until the infusion hose attached to his hand was removed. Fresh blood flowed from the hand of the former infusion, I who saw immediately ached.


"Your hands are bleeding!" I said, trying to call the nurse.


"Wild, let it be. Wounds like this won't change you. You still don't care. Yeah, right!" he's still screaming. Even when the two guard nurses came in, Reni remained emotional. I decided to come out so that he did not continue to be provoked by emotions.


What happened to Reni? Why did he become such a stranger? Is it because of the pregnancy factor? I rubbed my head to divert this saturation. Why is there a test to get a map with Yohana.

Reni cupped her hands facing me. He apologized for the emotional outburst. I could say nothing but silence hearing all the explanations. As I thought, he was also confused with himself. Her emotions have become so unstable since becoming pregnant and away from me. Maybe the baby's influence. But what is it to the extent that I remember I'm not the baby's biological father.


"I've called Riko and he wouldn't mind picking you up, Ren." I said.


"Oh so. So you're still gonna send me home?" said.


"Ren, this is for the good of you and your son. See the conditions here. The hospital is far away, just a very simple clinic. The housing is also inadequate. You are pregnant, it is impossible with such facilities. You have to get the best. Yes, by returning you to Jakarta. You won't get through everything here. Especially away from your family. While I have to work. If anything happens how?" I said. Reni just shut up.


We went to the clinic tonight. I'm waiting outside. Actually want to go back to mes, because the nurse also said Reni's condition is better, he just had to rest more. But Reni's mother kept crying, begging me not to leave her daughter except for work because she was worried about their daughter's psychology.

[I'm sorry Ben, but I'm forced to say that I haven't been able to get there today. Also in the near future remember the task that is being done a lot in the hospital. I got a new assignment in the ward, so I can't get permission or leave yet.] Riko said by phone.


[Ben can't yet, I have to standby here, it's very difficult to find free time.].


So suddenly. Though last night Riko said he was ready to pick up Reni, he was also not too dense. I was confused thinking about everything. Given Reni who should get special attention and my busyness in the office. Especially now that I'm trying to unpack a case in collaboration with Genta.


[Please Ko, try it for Reni.] I asked.


[Sorry Ben, but this time I can't. When it's empty, I'll tell you. Sorry Ben.] The phone was switched off. I was really dizzy with it.


How'this? My head is throbbing. Either have to ask for help who else to take Reni home. This problem is so taking up my mind.

The office was excited by the sudden news about the fraud between the company and the farmers that made the farmers protest, asking the company to clarify. Meanwhile the ranks gathered all employees, questioning whether anyone was cooperating with the reporters. The company reasoned that there were fake news spread so that the company became a shake.


I'm with another employee now in the hall. In the meantime, our computers were checked to find out who was trying to commit treason.


I knew this would happen according to what Genta predicted, so he always taught me to clean up after sending data.


Two hours we were briefed and interrogated. But from the results of the examination there was nothing suspicious, so we were returned to their respective rooms. But this time I will not be able to move freely considering that now in every room there is CCTV and the possibility of the computer I use is also connected to the center. Even so I do not need to take a headache because the data from the beginning I have sent. Even if there are still less live following through the laptop. So that Genta can process the data.


"Truly makes it uncomfortable. Already given a job and a high salary there are still those who want to shake the company. See, because of the troublemakers that are now palm oil farmers in protest, factory workers are too. Though the problem is not aple to aple." chanted one of the employees who are still a team with me.


I heard them throw each other assumptions can only be silent. They're smart people, they should realize something's wrong instead of letting it go. Cheating whether it's a company or a handful of people is really detrimental to farmers and workers. Even so I can only keep assumptions in my heart because now I still do not understand who is the opponent or friend. I still have to hold on to myself. Not friends so as not to misstep as directed by Genta. To handle a case like this must be really observant.
