100 Days of Being a Widow

Part 2 The Lies Revealed

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"

His suspicions are growing. It seems like this woman needs information from Rania. If not, why did he contact her. Doesn't he have Mr Dani's cell phone number?

"What is the need to contact me?" Rania seems to want to immediately find out the motive of a woman named Pina. There's no way he'd want a bento catering message. Pina is from Madiun, East Java. Rania lives in Depok, West Java.

"Mom, I'm Mr. Dani's lover"

The message was answered very long ago. Even though the author is in an online position. Apparently, Rania got an answer that really hurt her heart. He almost collapsed, if he did not realize that he was in Azka school. 

"But, I lied to Mr. Dani, he admitted to being single, Mom"

Back the woman typed a message, as if there was a feeling she wanted to overflow long ago. Rania is still in disbelief. Even the baby was crying as if she was unconscious. His eyes were focused on his android monitor. Fortunately, Bunda Rangga resuscitated him. 

"Bun...Ms...mother Azka…!" Sapa Bunda Rangga tried to resuscitate Rania.

At school, Rania is more familiarly called the mother of Azka, yes. If you already have a baby, then the name of the first child replaces our real name.

Instantly Rania awoke from her daydream. But her tears were instantly unable to hold. 

"Well, what's wrong, Bun…?" Ask Rangga to feel anxious.

Without answering first, Rania reflex held a crying Zidan, then suckled him.

"Maybe, I can help Bun. Or just lighten the burden by telling stories". Said Rangga's mother while giving a piece of tissue. 

"Oh, it's not okay, Bun. it's not good if I tell you about my household". Answer Rania briefly.

"alright. Don't hesitate if you want to vent, Bun. God willing I am confident" said Rangga mother while stroking the shoulder of Rania, trying to reduce the burden currently perched on her shoulders, as if she was harvested from behind and penetrated to her heart.

"Thank you mother Rangga" Rania's thin smile was revealed to Bunda Rangga. I want to show him that he is okay.

" Oh yeah Bun, here's the catering money. Thank you for helping me make the event" said Mother Rangga. He saw Rangga's mother from a distance and remembered that he had not paid the catering order money. 

"Alhamdulillah. Thank you mother Rangga" only a short answer, and a smile as she gave. Though usually Rania will be very excited if receiving payment from users of catering services. 

" Thank you beautiful mother.tomorrow pesen again Yach.guaranteed discount" this time Rania just silent, sweeping tears. Trying to spread themselves. Anyway, this could be a slander. Or if reality, he felt he could not be rash. There are two hearts that demand that he is always happy.

That afternoon, Rania felt like she had been taken to a different realm. But he tried to strengthen himself. With his body bent, he walked towards his house, a considerable distance from school to home, usually he did not feel. But this time, he's lunglai. Zidan, who is usually cool to enjoy the streets, and Azka who is cool with her singing, today was like feeling what her mother was feeling. 

Zidan was fussy, crying all the way. And Azka also grumbled about the heat of the sun. In fact, the sun this afternoon is not as hot as yesterday. 

Meanwhile, Rania realized there were many notifications coming into her messenger application. "Let's know, it must be Pina, the young girl who's looking for her husband".

A glass of milk share he served to Azka. No matter how his feelings are broken, and his curiosity is so great, he must not ignore the time for his children. He waited for Azka and Zidan's nap. 

When the children are sound in a nap, and the mother-in-law coolly gathered in the house of Ms. RT. Rania ventured to open the mesengger. He read one by one a message from the woman who turned out to be only twenty-six years old. Ten years younger than him, and fourteen years younger than Dani. 

"Why do you want to be with a man older than you?!" Rania began to ask blindly.

"Sorry Mom, I am also a victim" he replied briefly.

" Dani said he was still on his way, and was alone".

"Why don't you find out first, how do you want to!" Chirps Rania. His heart was burning hot. An affair was exposed.

"What is the evidence that you are right, Pina?!"

Shortly after, a photo was sent. Shit, it turns out they were in a hotel in Semarang.

The photo shows Dani cool with her laptop on the side of a bed, while a woman named Pina is on the other side of the bed. As soon as Rania's heart warmed up, her tears could not be contained anymore. He ran to the bathroom and cried with all his strength. The tap water he accidentally turned on, to disguise the sobbing.

Rania tries to quell the anger and disappointment. His loyalty and silence were misused. Rania has always been afraid to fight. Always want his children to be happy, without hearing the quarrel of his parents. But, could he maintain that principle this time?

This afternoon, like yesterday afternoon. No word from Dani. Rania who was upset, still tried to toughen up. Carry out her duties as a good daughter-in-law and mother. About a betrayal, she will gather the courage to ask questions to her husband later when he comes home. Arguing on a cell phone, it would be a waste. Rania knows the nature of Dani. He will easily hang up the phone and even block his number if a fight occurs. Even though it's a small thing. Answering a question from a wife who worries about her husband, "you where, why haven't you come home, what time" is simple. However, in the households of Rania Salsabila and Dani Mahendra, this question is taboo to ask.

"Bu Rania, but other than me, there are still other women who are victims of Mr. Dani" a short message came in. The night has shown at 22:30. the children have been sound asleep. 

"What do you mean?!" Rania seemed to turn around suspecting Pina as the person who tried to present her household. He didn't even know which side Pina was on.

"I managed to hijack Mr. Dani's cell phone password earlier. It took two days of struggle to memorize every password, and this afternoon, we had a big fight. I found a friendly chat Mr. Dani with a woman named Renata Puspita" . Then a monitor catch was sent by Pina through a mesengger.

Dumbfounded, until there was not a single sentence that he could type, to reply to the message. Pina and Renata Puspita are two people whose initials he finds in Dani's cell phone ring. PRS and RP.
