My Husband
The Part 22

A month has passed from the arrest of Mr. Wiratman involved in the embezzlement case of company funds. Ratna is back in the office.

" How are you Zahra?" Ma'am Ratna asked as I delivered the report to her room.

" Thank God so far so good." I answered while holding my stomach already started to look enlarged.

" Did your husband always treat you well?"

" Yes, Ma'am."

" Yes, come back to your room. Take care of your health always, don't be too tired." He said with a smile.

" Thank You Ma'am. Excuse me"

Once in my room, I resumed my work.

After Mbak Ratna returned to work, the attitude of Mbak Ratna I felt very different, he was more attentive, not infrequently he brought me fruits as my snacks.

If at Mas Jaya's house that is so attentive, here is Mrs Ratna who is also so considerate and caring for me. What Bi Ijah said was indeed true.

Then Ratnapun mama lied to me, didn't she ever say she didn't know about Mas Jaya's family.

Who are they, why should they be like this.

I felt something fall on my desk, and made me realize from my banquet.

" I thought about what Za, it's not good pregnant women daydream" Tegur Ika.

" No, I'm thinking about my man."

" Oh yeah, like you're far away, you're staying, you're telphon, he's coming here."

I said it only with a smile.

It had been three days for Mas Jaya to leave the city, as usual only she could contact me, but I could not reach her at all.

Arriving home and cleaning myself, I went down to watch TV, but still my mind was still fixed with Mas Jaya and Mbak Ratna. Again I tried to dismiss the thoughts that made me always suspect them.

I invited Bi Ijah to accompany me to MiniMarket which is near the complex. Thank goodness I did not have to wait in line to pay, because the situation was very quiet.

By the time I finished paying, the cashier mauled me kindly.

" I'm sorry, is this Zahra?"

"Yes." Yeah."

I who do not pay too much attention to sikasir can only answer briefly, while trying to remember who he is.

" You don't remember me, we used to be one school, just different classes. It's me Rina."

He came up to me and invited me to chat on the bench outside the Mini Market.

After I tried to observe I just remembered.

" I'm sorry, Rin, I forgot. How are you? " I said after remembering.

" I'm good. Am I afraid you are married? where are you staying?"

" Thank God, I live two blocks from here. The house painted White whose garden had many roses.it was my home. Uh, didn't you I hear you were married?"

" Oh, but also divorced. My husband has two wives, and I'm his second wife."

" Why not get stuck."

" I can't afford to be terrorized by his old wife. I married also do not know if he has a wife and children. Besides I feel sorry for his wife's children, they live hard while I am loved, if he can be like that with his wife, if he can be like that, tomorrow-tomorrow on me he can also be like that, before he left so I broke up."

" I hope there's something better."

Because almost Magrib I decided to go home. A lot of Rina told me about her marriage which was only a corn.

Married to a man who is five years older who according to him has an established job, and the age of maturity will make him happy, without him knowing that his ex-husband already has a wife.

She also told me that her husband was in his old wife HP hard to contact, reason out of town. When Rina said that, I remembered Mas Jaya.

When I finished praying Magrib I did not come down again. Many times I tried to contact Mas Jaya, but it remained inactive.

I convinced myself to say that my husband has no other woman. I see the clock has shown at 12 o'clock past, but my eyes are not sleepy at all.

" You haven't slept yet, baby." Mas Jaya's voice startled me, and she slowly walked over and kissed my forehead sitting on the bed.

" hasn't. You've come home, you've eaten?" Ask her.

" I ate, baby. I want to be with you, I miss." Then he hugged me and kissed me again.

" Why are you quiet, you don't miss me?" Mas Jaya asked, seeing that I did not respond to her at all.

" I'm tired, I want to sleep but I can't, my head is dizzy too." My answer.

He pulled my head gently, and put it on his chest.

" What do you think, tell me. I'm ready to listen." Soft talk.

"You promise you won't get angry if I ask you something?"

" I promise I won't be angry."

I kept myself out of his arms and invited him to sit on the long couch, which was in my room.

" Mass, if I wasn't the only woman in your life, open up. Did you marry someone else before you married me?" I said slowly so as not to offend him.

Hearing me talk like that, he was silent for a moment. I was drawn in his arms.

" I love you Zahra, you're my only wife. I'm not leaving, it doesn't mean I have another woman. Right now I have a hard time explaining it. I didn't mean to lie to you, I just wasn't ready to explain anything. Give me time." Mas Jaya said softly as she stroked my hair.

" I'm sorry that I suspected you and made you uncomfortable with my question." I wrap my hands around her.

"Mas... I want to stop working. I just want to be a housewife."

"Why?"

" There's no reason, I just want to change the mood."

"Well, if that's what you're best at." I felt her embrace getting tighter, and many times she gently brushed my hair.

Today it was like finding the old Mas Jaya, who was calm and mature.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

I went to work as usual. Delivering unfinished reports, and this afternoon I will submit my resignation letter.

Before I went to Ratna's room, I first talked to Ika that today I would resign.

"Ka, I want to talk to you, it's not important, but it has to be said." I said as I took her to sit on the sofa, and clasped her hand tightly.

" You're not cool ah, I don't want to go here. You can get pregnant"

" You can still see me at home, only I'm sad to leave you, thank God I want to say thank you."

Ika immediately hugged me, crying.

" I thank you so much for you Za, if I don't know you, maybe my life is still blangsak."

" It's rizki you don't thank me, you know not, you're ugly if you cry, I want to go to the room Mrs Ratna first, give me this letter." I wiped the tears on both of Ika's cheeks.

After seeing it has begun to calm down, I say goodbye to Mbak Ratna's room. After being invited in, I sat in the chair in front of him.

"Sir, sorry to interrupt the timing. I want to give this up." I hand over my resignation letter to Ms. Ratna.

" You sure? is this the final decision?" Mother Ratna asked after reading the piece of paper I gave her.

" Oh Ma'am, I've also allowed it. Thank you so much for the kindness you've been giving me all this time"

" Yes if that's your decision."

" Thank you, Mother." Then I came out of his room.

Before I came out of her room, Ms. Ratna asked me to hand over and explain to Ika what I hadn't finished working on.

After lunch with Ika in the room that I will leave I also farewell with Ika. There are too many memories in this office, and I will not forget them.

Before I go downstairs, I go to the toilet first.

I shed tears there. The feeling of tightness that had enveloped my heart was slightly reduced.

" Mas Danu" Sapaku to a man sitting in the lobby.

" Zahra." Said the man I rebuked.

"Old time we didn't see you, last time you met you were still snot."

" Dh, I still remember."

I hugged him right away. He was my Father's youngest brother, at the time I got married he was in the Service on the Easternmost Island of Indonesia.

Because he was young he didn't want me to call Om. His age is the same as Mas Jaya, even younger he is.

" Zahra, Mas Danu." Sapa Mbak Wiwin new secretary who replaced Siska.

" Don't get me wrong, this is Zahra, Mas Ponakan, Zahra's Father Mas's biggest brother."

Got an explanation from Mas Danu finally Mbak Wiwinpun understood.

" I'm sorry, I thought you had another relationship." Mba Wiwin.

" Well, same as Wiwin?" I asked while looking at both.

" He's a candidate for Mas, plans for Saturday tomorrow will bring Mas to your parents' house, all you want to send an invitation for you and Vishnu (Son's brother Zahra)."

As long as I'm Ma'am Wiwin and Mas Danu talking, I don't realize that Mas Danu's hand is holding my shoulder. And Mas Danu also had a glimpse of my stomach.

" You're pregnant, Dek, I'm not doing it." Mas Danu said while glancing at my stomach.

" Yes soon you two will be Grandpa and Grandma, so I call Om. Let's realize it's old."

Hearing me talk like that we laughed.

Since Ma'am Wiwin had to return to work and Mas Danu also returned to his office, me and them separated. While walking out of the office, I saw Mas Jaya's car outside my office gate.

" Tumben you wait for me here, Mas, usually in front of the lobby." I said after I got in the car.

Without answering me he just ran the car.

All the way he just kept quiet without answering anything I said.

Two days Mas Jaya silenced me, every time I asked and asked her to speak there was no answer at all, without me knowing what I was wrong. He also slept in the guest room.

" We have to talk, you can't be guaranteed I keep going, without me knowing where I'm wrong." I said to Mas Jaya when she just came out of the bathroom.

" There's nothing to talk about, it's all clear to me, you accuse me of cheating, it turns out the charges are back to you! I doubt that child is my son!" Mas Jaya.

I unconsciously held my hand to his cheek.

" You do realize what you're talking about?"

Not accepting my treatment he immediately gripped my shoulder tightly.

" I realized what I was saying, I said the boy wasn't my son! You heard what I lost!

"No need to cry, your tears will not affect my decision! I'll leave you!" He spoke in a voice full of emphasis.

After saying that he immediately left me, slamming the door.

I who do not know what the real problem can only be silent, and cry over all the words thrown by Mas Jaya.

"What more trials have You given in my household, O Lord. Am I a strong enough human being that YOU give me a try like this. Guide my heart to stay strong in the face of your trials." I'm lirih.

You must think of your son Zahra, not because of something like this you hurt your son. A glance like this crossed my mind. But the treatment of Mas Jaya this time is really outrageous.

After cleaning my face, and slightly polishing myself, I went downstairs.

I saw Bi Ijah ironing under the stairs.

Seeing me go down Bi Ijah left his job.

" Would you like to eat?" Tanya Bi Ijah quietly.

" Yes Bi, have you eaten?"

"My father is gone."

I just smiled at Bi Ijah's words.

My appetite is not there. I rubbed my stomach slowly, I had to eat for my son.

Little by little I put rice in my mouth. I had the heart to not drop my tears, but still those tears fell as well.

I must be strong for my son, lest he leave me. You can definitely deal with all this Zahra. Rest assured. I tried to comfort my own heart.

After eating, I saw Bi Ijah crying on the edge of the fish pond.

" Aunty why cry?" I asked who was trying to strengthen themselves.

"Auntie doesn't have the heart to watch Mom eat while crying so."

The Kupeluk Bi Ijah.

" If I'm being fragile like that, Auntie must be strong I don't cry." I wiped Bi Ijah's tears.

What a mistake I made until you got this angry. No more sorry for my mistakes. You once asked me not to leave you, but in fact you are the one who left me.
