CHEATING

I Found you

Brakk! A chair drifted to the wall. A man was standing behind a table with a face full of anger. The other two men stood trembling in fear.

" Kidnabbing a kid just can't! You idiot!"

" W-we saw the boss's state. D-in there never deserted. Finally we were desperate. But a pregnant woman tried to save him. We're gonna have to back off."

" Cih! You lost to a pregnant woman! Why don't you just throw it in the street! Huh!"

The two men lowered their heads, no longer daring to answer. He turned around and squeezed his head.

" I have to find another way! I have to find a way to destroy it! You go!"

" B-good boss."

The two men left the room. Now he only lives alone. He really is angry.

"Aarrrghhhk!"

He shifted roughly all the piles of goods on the shelf. He felt like his head was going to explode.

Zakiy. I'm not giving up. I'm gonna drop you. That's sure! Whatever way! Lilac. The woman disappeared! Where's she! Maybe you can be proud of your new hotel project. But I won't let your resort project. I'm gonna derail it.

Benny's. He clenched his arms tightly. His heart is full of anger. How could it have been almost a year but he had not been able to intercept Zaky. His ambition to become the number one property company has yet to materialize. The lila that he grew up with would outwit Zaky with love even dragged and disappeared. And yesterday when he planned to suppress Zaky by kidnapping Zoya, it also failed.

I'll make another plan. I'll never stop until I get past you.

It's been a week since Lila's lived here. A sense of comfort slowly surfaced due to Tia's treatment of him. Lila never thought about why Tia could be so good to her after everything she did. Tia was always attentive to him, reminding him of meal times, drinking milk and vitamins, even sometimes delivering food to the room in between his busyness and back to the Foundation. Sometimes Lila felt bad, but she could not refuse Tia's sincerity.

Unlike Tia, Zaky did not care about her at all. Don't talk, just glance no. He always dodged when Lila was around. Zaky really closed the opportunity meeting for Lila. When he passed, Zaky willingly turned around, as well as when he was going to take food in the kitchen, he immediately turned around when he saw Lila there.

Zoya and her sister are another reason for that comfort. This week Lila's time is spent playing with children. They are happy with the new aunt. Lila who basically also liked children could easily approach them.

Lila's day is also filled with the spectacle of Tia and Zaky's romance. Their affection at a meal together, Zaky who always bothers Tia cooking, Kissing Tia while going and coming home from work, Also other unexpected intimacy, like tonight.

Lila sat on the bed facing the bedroom window. He opened his glass a little, The night air came in through the window. The window glass presents a view of the swimming pool which is illuminated by garden lights. Lila looked up at the sky, the expanse of stars alongside the bright moon.

I heard Tia's voice. He walked towards the pool holding his cell phone near his ear. He must be on the phone. Lila looked at. Tia was just wrapped in a nightgown, She shouldn't have come out in a dress like that, it must have been cold outside, thought Lila.

From the back of Tia, Zaky walked to settle the precipitate with a smile. He wears a plain white shirt with shorts. Lila quickly stood up and slowly closed her window so they wouldn't hear. Then Lila pulled out the curtains covering the entire glass window. He peeked out from behind the curtains.

Tia stared at her phone, probably closing the call. Zaky hugged Tia from behind, her head sinking in the curve of Tia's neck. Tia smiled then tilted her face slightly, shaking off the distance between them. They kissed, occasionally stopped to catch their breath and continued. Zaky rubbed his hands up and down. He held Tia tighter and tighter. Zaky twists Tia's body and returns kissing, a hot kiss.

From behind the curtain Lila saw that scene. A strange feeling appeared in his heart. Instead of feeling angry even then he smiled at the behavior of the two people.

It's cold outside. It's like not being able to make out in the room. Maybe that's how people love each other? No matter the time or place. Hiz... Then what about us, son? No one loves us.

Lila stroked her stomach. He closed the curtain when he saw Zaky carrying Tia in. He slowly opened himself up and closed his eyes.

Robes.

That face just appeared in his mind.

Why do I remember it? I still think about people's husbands. I'd better get some sleep now.

In the morning, we all finished breakfast. Zaky has gone to the office, Tia herself went to the hospital to see the Child with Cancer. Zoya takes Pandi to school, Ifa and Naya watch their favorite cartoon, Nami is asleep, maybe full.

Bi Tuti tidied the dishes and washed them in the sink. Lila approached. Lila took the already clean dishes and arranged them on the shelf. Bi Tuti looked over.

" Here you go, just put it there, go get some rest."

Lila didn't bully him, She kept putting the plates and spoons one by one. After his plate was finished, he stood beside Bi Tuti and looked at the old woman.

" Aunty. Do you hate me too?"

Bi Tuti answered. He washed his hands first and then wiped them. He sat in a chair, tired of standing up while washing dishes. He looked at Lila who was still waiting for an answer.

" You think?"

" Yes, you hate me. You always look at me with a displeased look."

" Wasn't that natural, you almost made the two people split up. The house is hot."

" I know." Lila's down.

" So now that you're here, be nice. That Tia, she's very sincere, don't waste her kindness."

Lila raised her face looking at bi Tuti. Then smile.

" You don't have to worry Bi, no one can separate them, including me. They love each other, and that's what strengthens their marriage."

Lila sighed and looked out the window.

Did you give up? You're not after Zaky anymore.

A feeling of relief emanated from Bi Tuti's face. He felt quite calm hearing Lila's words. At least Lila knew his position. Bi tuti stood up and pulled another chair for Lila.

" Sitting down, standing for too long can make your legs ache."

Lila also sat down.

" Have you finished your milk? Tia always wanted me to make sure you spent it."

Lila nodded.

"Eat properly, so you can breastfeed your baby later."

Lila nodded again. They chatted lightly, asking each other about each other's lives. Bi tuti to shed tears heard the story of Lila is strange. and Lila also knew about the sadness of bi tuti in living husband and son who died due to a landslide dozens of years ago. That's why he's been with Tia for so long. At the end of the conversation they embraced, mutually reinforcing each other's strengths.

It turns out your life is very heavy Lila. I wish you all the best, son, and may you also find someone who loves you.

Day changed in the afternoon. Lila sat on the couch in the room straightening her legs. He squeezed his leg which felt very sore. He hasn't been out since lunch. His feet are heavy.

He was here when he seemed to have just returned home.

Tia sat on the other side of the sofa, at the end of Lila's legs.

" Lila, your legs are swollen. I should have reduced the salt in your food, huh?" Tia pressed down on Lila's feet.

Lila shook her hand. He feels bad.

" Don't.."

" why? it hurt?"

" You just got home, just get some rest. I'll massage it myself."

Tia laughed too.

" With a stomach like that you think you can massage your feet? I always ask Zaky to massage me while I'm pregnant."

Tia took off her bag and tied her hair. He went out for a while to get a bottle of olive oil and started massaging Lila's legs.

" Well, try if you're alone in your contract, how do you handle this?"

Tia massaged Lila's legs slowly. He pressed on some points of his feet. He knew a little about the relaxation point he read in the book.

Meanwhile, Lila looked at Tia with glassy eyes. He was overwhelmed by Tia's treatment of him. No one has ever cared so much about her other than her mother. Moreover, Tia was the one who had been hurt.

"Hey, why look at me like that?" tia asked who apparently realized that Lila was looking at him fixedly.

" You're so good to me.."

Tia did not answer, she just smiled.

" I'm so jealous of you. Your life is perfect. A happy marriage, a funny daughter, a happy life. You must have never been hurt and sad other than when I was present, right?"

Tia stopped on her right leg and started massaging her left leg.

" I've been hurt before. I once married my boyfriend because of differences of faith. And it was a tough year. I suffered a lot. We dated for a long time."

" Really?"

"Yes, but now I'm grateful to break up with him, because I finally met Zaky, a good husband, a good father. And then it's perfect just like you said."

"Finally you find a guy who loves you a lot right, hmm. I don't know if I'll have a happy moment like you later. My life is so sad. I want to be loved like you."

Tia finished massaging. He wiped his hands with a tissue. Lila wanted to lower her legs but Tia held her back. It would be better to straighten his legs first, Tia thought.

" Lila, you'll definitely find a man who loves you too."

Lila shook her head and smiled. " I don't expect my life to be better than this."

" Lila, why aren't you with this baby's father?"

" How could I live with a man who raped me."

" What's true? You were raped?"

" Yes, you must not believe me because I framed Zaky, right?"

" I believe it.."

Lila smiled. Her memory goes back to the night Benny hit her until she realized she was raped the next morning. I don't feel her tears falling on my chin.

Tia who saw that immediately grabbed Lila's hand.

" Lila, don't be sad. You got us, no. You got me. I'll be there for you. You can tell me. Don't keep your own grief."

Lila's tears are getting worse. He nodded in agreement.

" Can I call you brother.. That's very kind of you. I'd love to have a good brother like you..."

Tia smiled. " Of course." They're staring.

" Aren't you going to hug me?" Ask Tia.

Lila smiled and lowered her feet. She hugged Tia tightly. Crying on his shoulder. Tia rubbed her back.

How can I get so much love from the people I hurt.

From the crack of the door, Zaky's step stopped seeing the two women hugging. He saw the true Lila crying on Tia's shoulder, and Tia calmed him down.

Women are hard to understand.
