100 Days of Being a Widow
Part 1 The betrayal
Drttttt...drtttt. Rania looks towards the phone that was accidentally left on the dining table.
"PRS.." the caller's name.
"Dani to the toilet, did I lift ya.." murmured me Rania, while tidying up the former dishes used lunch. The phone was just about to be picked up, Dani suddenly appeared from behind and grabbed the phone from Rania's hand. Flinched, as it felt.
"Kok, turned off mas?" Rania murmured, still shocked at the actions of the husband who was married 9 years ago.
"Gak ..got important" he answered ketus while passing to the room. Dani who for 9 years of marriage has never shown an attitude of "rogue", certainly does not raise any suspicion in Rania's heart. Unless, if flashback to the courtship period, Dani is an adventurer of love.
After the incident that afternoon, more and more cell phone calls came in with initials abbreviated names. Rania tries to stay positive. Although, many unusual things pointed out that established husband. Dani who in fact is a reliable programmer, holds a company engaged in IT consulting services for several local government offices. That's why Dani often leaves Rania and her children at home to go out of town to see her clients.
"Ma, tomorrow I go to Semarang ya.." chirped Dani while busy with her phone.
"Out town again pa?, just two days at home". Rania greets Zidan, their second son.
"yes, this client from Semarang wants a new contract, the contract value is large, 3 billion" said Dani excited.
But not with Rania, because no matter how much the income of her husband, Rania only rationed 2 million per month for all the needs of the house and her children. If Rania complains with the lack of spending money, Dani will be angry, and accuses Rania of being wasteful and ungrateful. Reluctant to debate, Rania chose silence. To meet her needs, Rania sells bento food for school children. The subscription is Azka's friends, their first son.
Sometimes, Rania felt the presence of no more than a maid, how not, even though she occupied the house of her husband's work, but the in-laws lived with her. The reason is that old days want to be spent with their children. In fact, Dani still has 3 younger siblings who live in the same city. Only, of his three brothers, only Dani is economically established.
Almost all the housework he did himself. Starting from cooking, washing, mopping, even if Rania did not mop because of illness, the in-laws immediately nagged at him idler.
"Suami, want to succeed mbok yes supported to Rania, you think the cost of your shopping is just a swipe what?!" Celtuk Nani, Rania's mother-in-law who had deliberately eavesdropped on this husband and wife conversation.
"No, ma'am.cuma.." Rania just wanted to explain the mother-in-law's cut.
"You are, if you know ngeyel!" Her father-in-law saut again and again, managed to make Rania fixated, as if guilty
"You ma, always make a fuss! Stay nerima ration aja sok ngatur" snapped Dani while covering the laptop violently and entered the room. And again, the quarrel was as if it had started because of Rania.
Rania helps Dani put clothes in a small suitcase that is used when out of town. While busy arranging, Rania accidentally found a bottle, an oil bottle that is familiar.
"Astaghfirullah, do what papa bring this.." muttered Rania read the writing on the bottle, Borneo blackwood oil, which is famous for its efficacy for male stamina enhancer drugs.
"Well, you're checking my one-on-one stuff?!" Dani suddenly appeared.
At the end of the day, Dani's language and manner of speaking are more subtle than usual. Even Rania felt that there were many things that Dani kept secret from her. Only, Rania did not have enough evidence to be prejudiced. Moreover, Dani's phone has been password, and Rania is not allowed to touch her husband's phone.
"Why are you taking this to Semarang?" Rania tries to ask Dani a question.
" That's my client's order in Semarang!" Dani answered ketus and briefly.
Rania just glanced at the packaging, though,
"used already…." Mumbled.
***
"I'm leaving ma" a suitcase ready to be put in the trunk of the car.
"Pa, how many days in Semarang?
"5 days!" Answer Dani briefly.
"Pa, then, the monthly shopping money I'm asking now yes pa. Monthly allowance is two days away." Pinta Rania's.
She had no choice but to ask her husband. The result of his business profit is only enough to meet the needs of the kitchen and snacks of his son. Yes, eating with her all-round in-laws should smell meat. Rania and her children are not very fond of eating meat.
"can't. You wait till I get home!" Dani said while closing the car door. The Toyota Lexus is speeding.
For five days in Semarang, Dani rarely send news. Except when the kid asks Vidio for a call. You should send a message first. Exactly agreement. If not, then prepare Dani angry. The reason was a meeting, talking to a client, even though Rania called above 22:00.
There was a strange feeling that permeated Rania's heart. Dani can be sweet when she wants her, and rude as she wants. He was more romantic in bed. Often Dani deliberately saw hot videos that he downloaded from foreign sites. The scene then he practiced on Rania. The bed relationship is hot, but in other communications it feels cold.
That night, Rania felt very uneasy.His eyes were reluctant to shut, even though she felt tired all day. Yes, he had an impromptu order for his birthday, Rangga, Azka's schoolmate. Rangga wants to provide orphanage at Setyowati Mother Orphanage. The orphanage housed 100 orphans. So, the order of 100 boxes of bento rice was an unexpected windfall for Rania. Given Dani's threat of delaying giving her monthly spending rations until she returns from Semarang.
The eyes are still reluctant to be closed. His two favorite children have been sound asleep since earlier.the wall clock shows at one in the morning.
To get rid of it, he tried to open the blue application. Many notifications came in, but Rania rarely cared. Not without reason, the time is very crowded to take care of children, husbands, homes, and businesses. Although online business is being tranding, but Rania is too clumsy for this. This time he was very curious about a notification from the messenger, from a child whose age can be estimated not even thirty years.
Actually, this woman has been sending this notification since two months ago, but somehow, Rania ignored. Rania idly opened the message from the woman "Pina Riana Sari" .
"Assalamualaikum ma'am, is this right with Azka's mother?"
Before replying, Rania ventured to open the profile of Pina Riana Sari.
A woman, living in Madiun, and working in one of the tutoring, whose vendors are held by the company CV IT Solution. Curiosity began to wander. Rania keeps scrolling this lady's homepage. How surprised he was to find that the plan, today, he was also going to Semarang.
Rania ventured to reply to the message.
"yes, I am Azka's mother. How can I help you, mba?". Rania still hopes, that who sent this message relatives of Azka's friends at school.
Long enough no reply. ah...Maybe because it was midnight. Not long after, Rania fell asleep.
Tomorrow's Day ...
" mama.mama.." called uti. Azka's name to her grandmother.
Instantly Rania was aghast. "astaghfirullah, 5 o'clock" Rania was almost too late. Every day he had to get up before dawn, do all the homework and then prepare his son to school, while carrying bento orders. Before going to the kitchen, Rania did not forget the dawn prayer.
"Rania.....Rania...." mother-in-law's screams blurted out filling a minimalist type 54 house.
"yes Ma..." Rania softly replied, while going down the stairs of the house that was quite luxurious.
"you, the husband's eyes are not there, even delicious to get up in the afternoon!" her chirps in-laws in a tone that was already very familiar to Rania.
"Sorry Mom, I couldn't sleep last night"
"it's good for breakfast, later if it's late, what do we want to eat?!"
Things like this, actually he has received very often since living in this house. But it still hurts.
While waiting for Azka at school, and Zidan who fell asleep in his stroler. Finally Rania has time to open the notification mesengger that entered two hours ago.
"meet me, I'm Pina"
"i'm Rania, mba. salam know"
"greetings to Miss Rania"
a very familiar introduction.
"sorry for a long time to respond, I rarely open this application mba"
reply Rania. His heart was excited to know who this woman named Pina was.
"Mba, do you know Mr Dani Mahendra?"
ask Pina.
"Dani Mahendra owner of IT Solution?"
rania asked, worried about the wrong people.
"iya Bu. owner of CV IT Solution" replied Pina.
"yes. He's my husband mba" replied Rania steadily.
For quite a long time there was no reply until Rania finally dared to ask.
"Are you ready for my husband?"
"i'm a close friend of Mr. Dani Bu's"
Her suspicions are growing.It looks like this woman needs information from Rania. If not, why did he contact her. Doesn't he have Mr Dani's cell phone number?
