The Former
BOCIL'S BEHAVIOR

I think I want to get to the hotel soon. Gathering with my husband and son. The taxi I was riding in was like a slow walk, but it was just my feeling.

"Drrrttt .. drrrrtttt ..." My phone rang.

I saw the caller's name on my phone screen.

'My husband'

Suddenly it was cold. All the bad things came into my head. I'm like a prisoner in a ruckus. I shake my head against my anxiety. Really, it's unthinkable that Rey would have completely dismantled it all.

It's no longer the taxi I'm riding. I was riding one of the rides in du*an, a roller coaster, which made my heart feel stopped instantly.

Slow down, I set my breath to feel a little calm. I'll pick up the call from Vino.

"Assalamualaikum Mother. Where else? How long is the lift?" asked Vino from across the phone to start the conversation.

"Vaalaikumsalam. On the road to the hotel. Why Yah?" reply slowly.

"Udah wants Maghrib Bun, I'm worried about you. I don't know why I don't feel good. Maya also nanyain You continue. Yes, if you're all right. I'm the same Maya wait for you here. Be careful, Bun! Assalamualaikum!" vino said, which made me miss him even more.

"Yes. Waalaikumsalam." I said ending the call.

It's quite keeping me calm. I think Rey came to Vino and opened up all my disgrace. But apparently, my guess missed. I feel more guilty. Vino is perfect for me and Maya. A husband and father who love their wife and children. A husband who never presses on his wife must be perfect.

'Huufhh'

I let out a breath. Feels pretty tight in this chest. I saw the clock in my hand again, at 16:35 which means 17:35. I did deliberately not reset my watch, anyway just a few days I'm here. It's been about half an hour on my way. I don't know how long it's gonna take to get from Rey's house to the hotel.

"Sir, how much longer? Is it still far away or far away?" ask me to the driver.

The driver saw me from the rear-view mirror inside the mirror on the front of the car.

"It's near ma'am, 10 minutes more" he said to answer my question earlier.

I looked to the left of the road. Looking blankly out the glass. I held my chin up with my hand, like a man trying to hold a heavy face and about to fall.

*****

The taxi I was riding in stopped in front of the hotel lobby. So cool, cool, and so beautiful. Vino chose this hotel. He hopes that the feel of the trendy Villa, and surrounded by rice fields and overlooking the Indian Ocean, can spoil us who are quite tired with a myriad of activities in the Capital.

'It turns out Vino was right. Very beautiful, making the mind relax to see the scenery that is plastered in front of me.' My decak was amazed and immediately forgot the one I just experienced.

Vino's waiting for me in the lobby. Like seeing a lover who hasn't seen each other for a long time, I'm so happy. I approached Vino who was playing his phone. I hugged his body tightly. My blood flow is warm. Took away my soul that had just been torn apart.

I saw all the corners of this lobby, but my net didn't catch someone I was looking for.

"Where's Dad?" I asked Vino.

"Maya's upstairs, again in her room. Wait for you, ask for dinner outside he said." replied Vino with a facial expression pointing to the Maya Room .

"Yes already. You take a bath there, keep us Maghrib together. Our room is up next to Maya's. Just take Maya down." said Vino again, telling me.

I nodded then passed leaving Vino. My steps with heels up the stairs sounded quite clear, making Maya move to find the direction of the sound source. The door of the room opened, and I found Maya standing. He ran, hugged me.

"Thank you Mother. I've been horrified I made it home. How's Bun doing with the office? It's done, isn't it? Mommy must be tired, right? Want me to get Mother's favorite orange ice? Or what do you want, I'll make Bun?" cerocos Maya shot me with questions.

Maya is very small. At the age of 9 years, he started School at the age of 5 years and is now sitting in the 4th grade Primary School. But his thinking is very mature. Adults in family, not relationships. Maya is a submissive child, she never once denied Me and Vino. Maya knows, Father and Mother just want to make her happy and not misguided.

"Mother confused, dear, answer which one used to be. So much of her. Rich detective." I said then tingled my hand to his stomach.

We both laughed.

"Yes already. Mother take a shower first. You were told to go down with Dad, get ready to pray maghrib." I said to Maya.

*****

My body is fresh again. It is holy to pray. I'll fix my path, I'll make up for all my mistakes by sincerely worshiping. I want to live a normal life again like before.

"Drrttt ... Drrrttt." My phone's ringing.

A whatsapp message came in. From Rey. I hurried to open the message. Rey sent me a picture. I can't believe what I saw. My eyeballs are coming out. My heart stopped immediately.

'Other than this?' mumbling surprised.

Rey sent me a picture of us making out in bed. Maybe Rey secretly filmed my bed scene with him, while we were doing it in Rey's House. Rey is totally outrageous. If Vino sees this, he'll divorce me soon.

"Drrttt ... Drrrttt ..." My phone rang again.

A WhatsApp message is back in. From Rey.

['How come you still want to get away from me, our video will be wide. That's the screenshoot I sent to you. I'm not kidding! I'm willing to endure the shame of a lifetime, just the shame of being with you.'] Fill Rey's message to me.

'Heuhhh ... You idiot! I am so stupid! I could have fallen in love with that cunning guy! Hiks .. hiks ..' My mind is crying.

'What if Rey really meant it? That means not only Vino will know, not just Vino's divorce, but worse than I feared. Ardrmghhhhc ... I'm going crazy thinking about all this!' I said in my heart.
