A Cup of Black Coffee

Chapter 17

"What is this Ragil?" abi Hulya asked sharply.

"Sit down Bi, let us explain the problem" I asked gently.

Hulya looked at me sharply, she seemed to wish I didn't open my voice right now.

But how? My in-laws are suspicious.

"Abi, Hulya no papa! There was a problem on the road, Hulya's car broke down so, Hulya was disheveled like this," she was nervous.

Abi Hulya squinted at her daughter's explanation.

"Where strike? Let Abi get people to take your car!" tell my father-in-law.

"Oh my goodness! You make Umi worry! Umi thought you guys why earlier, the sound of your voice is so loud!" tell me about my mother-in-law.

Now they are sitting together with a look of a face that looks relieved.

I'm the only one who's still upset, because I don't want to get caught up with Hulya's game.

"We want the Maghrib, we will take a bath, we will worship at home" my father-in-law said.

According to his wishes, Hulya and I got up, headed for their rooms.

"You split rooms?!" abi's voice again shrieked.

Hulya and I compactly forget about our habits that have separated the bed.

"Clean yourself, then explain it to us later" he asked.

In the room I was calm, I should be prepared to tell my father-in-law the truth.

Just now I prepared the clothes I was going to take to the bathroom, suddenly my phone rang, the name Hulya was there.

"You want what he is? Don't tell me he wants me to shut up!"

Sorry Hulya, the more we lie, the more we have to prepare for the collision of other lies.

I think his parents should know about our problems. If this marriage is painful, then it is better to end it.

Ignoring the screaming phone that wanted to be picked up immediately, I'm sure Hulya is anxious at this time.

Not caring about Hulya's call I stepped out to cleanse myself and prepare to do my duty as a servant.

"Gil, call Hulya, let's worship!" tell Abi after seeing me out of the room.

"Yes Bi," with heavy steps I approached Hulya's room and knocked on her door.

"Yes, I've been waiting for Abi!" my peek. Although there were in-laws, how else, our room was soundproof, I was afraid that Hulya would not hear my call.

Fifteen minutes later came Hulya who was ready for her face. He stared fiercely at me, perhaps annoyed that I was ignoring his call.

When we finished, we got back together in the living room.

"You're not cooking?" sergeant Umi.

"Hulya just came home Mi sorry. Hulya also did not know that Abi and Umi wanted to come here. We ordered food from outside, didn't we, Bi?" ask Hulya timidly.

"If we say, we certainly don't know that your household is in such a mess!" sergeant Abi.

Hulya just looked down not daring to answer her brother's words.

"Already Bi, we should eat first, so we can think calmly if the stomach is full," said Umi.

Hulya then orders food through the app. I did the same thing, because he didn't know what I was going to eat. Offering just no. He ordered Azam's favorite food again.

The sound of the doorbell made me and Hulya rise together, because I did not know who came my order or Hulya's order.

When Hulya opened the door, her order came, she rushed to take it and headed to the kitchen.

"I've paid Mas, so Mas doesn't need to pay," he said as I stood behind him.

I sat back in the living room and replied, "Before Bi," my dear.

"I ordered food for you" said Hulya.

Did ya? I wonder what food he ordered.

When he opened the food package for me on the plate, I smiled lightly, correct my guess that he must have ordered food that was not my taste.

"I'm sorry, I don't like that food" I refused.

He was wide-eyed, not expecting my rejection. Abi and Uminya looked at each other.

"Sorry, what do you want to eat? Let Hulya order it," she quickly charged.

"No need, I ordered it myself" I said.

Both of my in-laws could only shut up, it seemed like they could already guess our household matters.

Before long the sound of the bell rang again, I was sure this time it must be my ordered food.

Rushing I opened the door and sure enough my ordered food came along with my brother-in-law and his wife.

"Mas Zhafran, Sister Zahra?" my broom then approached to greet my sister-in-law.

"Loh Hulya didn't cook Gil?" tanyakanya.

"It's only today Mas, because we're quite busy today," I lie at the end of the sentence.

I'm not lying, it's only this time that Hulya doesn't cook for me. Usually even though I refused, she always cooked, even if she ended up eating only by herself.

"really? You are indeed a good husband, even choose to cover your own wife's disgrace," replied Mas Zhafran who actually made me frown in wonder.

Whatdoes thatmean? Does Big Brother Hulya know anything about today's events?

I choked, both of them then entered, mbak Zahra then patted my shoulder and smiled pity.

"Propay Gil," he said.

Fortunately, the food that Hulya and I ordered was quite a lot, making us not confused when welcoming additional guests.

Everyone ate in silence as usual, but I saw Hulya as having no appetite for food. Looks like he knew he'd be in court today.

After dinner, we sat back in the living room like my in-laws ordered this afternoon.

There was only Umi and Mbak Zahra in the kitchen who were making treats for our chatting friends.

"Honest answer, why did you decide to split the bed without telling Abi?" cecar Abi Hulya's.

Bang Zhafran gasped, then looked at us and Abi in turn.

"You split the bed? Don't tell me because of Azam!" said sharp.

Hearing Azam's name, Hulya who had looked down and looked at the older brother, maybe she did not expect that Mas Zhafran knew about him and the man.

There should be no need to be surprised, however, I already feel that the Hulya family does know Hulya's feelings for Azam and they actually help cover it.

"What do you know Zaf?" abi asked his eldest son.

Mas Zhafran sighed, "we should first listen to their explanation Bi, then I will speak up," Mas Zhafran declined.

"Yes already. Then explain it to us Gil," Abi asked as she looked back at me.

Hulya who returned her head and then glanced at me at a glance, like a code of supplication, I don't know, I guessed it like that.

Before answering I took a breath, "Actually we decided to part carefully Bi," I explained.

The sound of objects breaking from the kitchen, I'm sure either Umi or Mbak Zahra was surprised by my statement.
