I took Andra in my arms, and from that moment my son continued to whine, asking for Papa's whereabouts. Papa continued, who he said would come again at night, but in reality after waiting, he did not come. I had no intention of contacting him at all, because if he remembered and cared about me and my son, he would have told me all by himself. Didn't they?
I'm disappointed? Sure, bit. But I tried to understand, maybe he was spending a long night with his first wife, who is also now my honey. Maybe the two men are mingling love to let go of longing after three consecutive nights they did not meet.
I did not expect that I would have a husband younger than me, my obsession that was a little crazy made me willing to be married in series by a man named Bramantyo. A married man, but unfortunately his wife did not know how to appreciate and love properly, until her husband opened a gap for me to enter easily into their relationship.

''Ma, Papa, why lie to us the same? Papa said, Papa will come here again, but the truth is that now Papa is not coming. Andra will want to play and sleep with Papa, '' Andra said while looking at my face. His handsome face looked sad. We were lying on the bed, lying down with my arms.
''Maybe Papa's busy, baby. Maybe there is an important and sudden job that Papa has to finish so that Papa can't meet us tonight, ''' I replied by forcing a smile on my face. As a mother, I should always look strong and well in front of my son.
''But Andra wanted Papa ..'' Andra whining.
''Udah. Tonight Andra sleeps with Mama only, yes. It's so bad now, it's eleven o'clock at night. Andra bobok yuk, let's read the prayer before sleeping together.'' Persuade me in a soft voice, hoping Andra stops asking for the whereabouts of the papa.
''No way!'' refute Andra.
''Andra, you can't do that. Later Mama was angry you know, my speech finally rose an octave.
''Yes, it is. Just be careful if Papa comes tomorrow morning, Andra will scold Papa because Papa breaks his promise with Andra, Andra looks serious saying that.
"Good kids can't do that. It's bobok yuk now,''
''Yes, I slept with my mom tonight.'' Andra finally obeyed my words. I stroked her back with my mouth never breaking reading the prophet's sholawat, hoping Andra would sleep soon. After a few minutes, that subtle snoring finally sounded as well. Andra seemed to sleep very well. I smiled at her looking at her. After that, I carefully left Andra alone in the room, not forgetting before coming out of the room, I covered her body so that my son would not get cold.
I walked to my room, outside it was raining so hard, lately in our house it was rainy season, almost every night it was raining.
When I got to my room, I picked up my phone on the nightstand, and it turned out that Mas Bram was contacting me, and I quickly picked it up.
''Honey, open the door, Mas's outside now.'' Mas Bram said in a loud enough tone as soon as the call from him I answered.
''really?'' I just don't believe it a little.
''Yes.''
After that I walked with wide footsteps towards the main door. The main door was quite far away because my house was quite large and my room and Andra were also upstairs.
Upon arrival at the main door, I opened the door quickly. I saw Mas Bram standing in front of the main door with both hands hugging his sturdy body.
''Mas Mas Mas, '' said to be relaxed. Sometimes so women must be able to control the emotional, even though sometimes the heart is cobbled. But that's the way that men do not consider us weak and not arbitrarily.
''Sorry Mas arrived late, '' said Mas Bram, he walked behind me. We walked to the family room.
''It's nothing.''
''Where's anandra?''
''Abdra has been sleeping, from earlier he nanyain you continue.''
''Dow, then Mas will go upstairs to meet Andra, '' said Mas Bram look guilty.
''No need. Lagian Andra was sleeping too.'' My reply. We sat on the family couch.
''Does Tiara know you're leaving the house tonight?''
''Seems not. Mas left quietly when Tiara was already asleep. Yes at most tomorrow when he wakes up he will think Mas went narik.''
''This rain? Did he believe and not suspect?'' I stared at my husband's handsome face. A handsome face that looks like a confused person. It's so sorry Bram. According to my judgment, Mas Bram is a typical man who is not good at lying, so now he looks confused and stressed, he must be stressed because now he already has a wife of two, he has a wife of two, and he had to lie to Tiara to cover up his relationship with me. All the decisions I leave to Mas Bram, in the future he will choose me or Tiara. I won't force.
''Comein'that. It seems like Mas does have to make a decision, Mas can't continue like this, lying to Tiara continuously, ''' Mas Bram held his head with both hands.
''He still demands a lot from you? I mean, he still wants a lot of money to spend?'' my many.
''Yes. He still requested that Mas send money as usual to his account. But he wants to change. He already wants to clean the house, that alone has made Mas happy.'' Said Mas Bram, his last words make me sure, that Mas Bram still loves Tiara.
''It's only been a few days. Let's look ahead, if he really has changed, then me and Andra will give up. I will let you and Tiara live happily without me. I will not demand of you what I have given you and Tiara. I'm sincere. But if Tiara still hasn't changed and still demands a lot from you, then I'm ready to accept you at any time, '' I said sincerely with a smile. Sometimes, just by seeing the person we love happy, then we will also feel happy, even though he is happy not because of us. There are many ways to love, it all depends on us. But don't forget, stay elegant, don't drop your pride for begging for love.
''Thank you Princess, you are indeed a special woman.'' Bram held my hands tightly. His face that had looked stressed had now changed with a smile. A very sweet smile.
''Yes, equally Mas. Then I'll make some tea for you. You look like you're cold.''
''Yes, thank you dear.'' Mas Bram. After that I went back.
***
A few days passed, Mas Bram and I did the usual routine. Morning to evening we worked, and the night Mas Bram sometimes stayed at my house and sometimes he stayed at his house with Tiara.
In the office, we behave like a superior and subordinate. There was no preferential treatment we showed in public, as we still hid about our series marriage from people. Mas Bram still often complains about Tiara who he said back to acting like before. But I asked him to remain patient and to keep Tiara. For whatever reason I said it, but far from the bottom of my heart, I wanted to be the only woman for Mas Bram.
Sometimes when meeting with other company leaders, many colleagues whose positions are the same as mine, namely a CEO, who openly teased me and expressed feelings of liking to me, he said, but I'm being ignorant, because I already have a mistress husband. Unlike Mas Bram, his face seems to dislike seeing and hearing other men teasing me, and often he also says that he is not worthy of a woman who has a higher position than him. Often he felt inferior.
''You really love me Princess?'' asked Mas Bram while we were eating together at a famous restaurant. After the meeting, we decided to stop at a five-star restaurant.
''Yes, Mas.'' My answer was convincing while feeding food to the mouth.
''But, look. The men who are handsome and have the same position as you many who like you. So what do you see from me?''
''Don't ask that again. Now you are my husband Mas.''
''What kind of husband is Mas, this. Even at this time Mas has not been able to make a decision.''
''I did not ask you to make a decision, now we live as it is, just like this I am happy.''
''But Tiara?''
''Yes, if you want to keep him and want to live with him forever, then now we will. Okay!'' I finally said. I don't know, I think Mas Bram is too weak to be a man. He was still confused to have to choose between me or Tiara, that was always what he discussed. Though he knew, that all this time I was much better than Tiara in treating him.
''Not so I mean Dear Mas, '' Mas Bram's face looked panicked at my anger. Because this was the first time I said with a little high intonation to him. He just grabbed my hands with his face. We looked at each other for a while at a short distance, but suddenly a voice shook us, and Mas Bram just let go of his hand from my hand.
''Mas Bram ...,'' Me and Mas Bram turned their heads towards the source of the sound. Near our dining table, Tiara was standing with a red face with her friends. Because of the small commotion earlier, it made me and Mas Bram unaware of Tiara's presence.
Seriate.
