CHEATING IS BEAUTIFUL IN THE BEGINNING

CHEATING IS BEAUTIFUL IN THE BEGINNING
Chapter 3



Last night Intan's father really didn't come home. At dawn I woke up and felt something was lacking. Usually lying next door, someone I used to love. But now, that love has gone somewhere.


I see Intan, still sleeping. We slept together in the tv room. This room is bigger than the bedroom. The house we rented wasn't big, but I'd rather be like this than hitchhiking at my mom's.


For some time I'll forget Dimas. I feel guilty for Andri. But this feeling I can't lie. Now Dimas is different. He's the man I dreamed of. Diligent work and attention. Our fate is the same, equally bored with the couple.


Andri, what should I do now? Maybe he's not feeling good because of yesterday's words. In the past I was not like this, wrong Andri too, why let me freely roam for money.


***


The cake order I made yesterday while chatting with Dimas, I gave it to the owner. The money I borrowed from Wita has been returned. In hand, there were four pieces of fifty thousand money. I spend the kitchen needs, the rest I keep in case.


It was already noon, Intan was also close to going home, but his father had not yet returned. I remembered his wish, so I bought him a pack of roko and a pot of coffee. I hope Andri can forgive me, because I've been nagging all day.


"Helenn!?" Shouted someone outside.


"Yes." Yeah." Answer me while opening the door.


"Are you busy?" Ask Meri right in front of me.


I was shocked, because suddenly Meri came home. I shook my head and halfheartedly let her in.


"Where's andri?"


"Go out, get a job."


"What is your cake?"


"Again quiet, I just delivered the order, and now I have not been able to order again. Actually I was lazy to make a cake, fortunately not how much. If that was good, but I can't muterin because the money is directly made to eat."


Meri nods.


"Tumben you're here, want to pesen cake?"


Meri smiled as she patted my shoulder.


"If you want to pesen, I ask for money upfront, there is no end to capital."


"Gak ko, I don't want to pesen cake. I'm here to nawarin you work."


My eyes shine.


"When you had a vacancy to me, I happen to be going out now. So you're not gonna change me to work at the store?"


"Hmmm... In the shop? I have to be obrolin first with my husband, I'm confused that working in the store I certainly don't have much time at home."


"Yes, anyway."


At first I was looking for vacancy info for Andri, but because the job for a man over three-five was difficult. So I give up, I just want to work. Your own effort is not easy. If the work is just accept the salary doang.

It's night time, Father Intan hasn't come home yet. Intan kept asking about her father. Since I was dizzy with her question, I told her to stay at mom's house.


"I'm with Intan's father, there's important business. So I want to put Intan here. Can you please, ma'am?"


I'll allow it, call tomorrow on Sunday. My mother and I are close, still one area, different RW.


When I came home on foot, on the street I met Dimas. I didn't realize she was following me. I almost got home but Dimas intercepted.


"Hey! WA I'm not being reciprocated anyway?"


I glanced, then observed the surroundings. It seemed lonely, but I told Dimas to go all the way, though my heart was glad that he was in front of me now.


Dimas asked me to get on the bike, but I refused because my rented house was close.


"Okay, I'm leaving. But answer first why you've been cuekin me all day?"


"Andri hasn't been home all night, I'm so worried."


I messed around, was embarrassed and I ignored him, continued on the way.


"Wait a minute!" Dimas down from the motor.


The deg!


My heart was pounding, he was getting closer and I thought he was going to ask for something. His handsome face and young look made me drunk.


"Here, you must not have eaten." Pouring a small black bag.


"What's this?"


"Fryer." Her smile was still the same as when we were in school, sweet.


"Thank you." Kuraih and I think it's hard to leave, but I have to be patient. Dimas wants to share his love with me. I'm happy.


"Go home. Next time you want to go anywhere, let me take you."


I nodded quickly. My heart was blossoming, forgetting that I was no longer young. Dimas stopped following me, but he kept watching, making sure I got home safely.


When I got home, the door was half open. With a slow step, I walked towards the door, before entering I peeked at the state inside. Thank goodness Andri has come home.


"Where from? Where's Intan?" I did not have time to say hello and sit down, he greeted me with questions.


"From mom's house, Nganter Intan."


"Continent nginep?"


"Yes. Father himself, where were you yesterday?"


"To Mang Rizal's house." Answer's flat.


I made him coffee and gave him a roko, along with a fry that I said was a gift from Nela, my sister.


I felt something strange, his attitude turned cold. There was no kiss hug or seduction word that he used to throw. Though there is no Intan, usually if Intan stays, he is most excited to approach.


He sipped coffee slowly while sipping the roko. But the fry I was feeding, he didn't touch at all. The reason is full.


An hour passed without a word, then he slept in front of the tv. His snoring voice was loud. She must have not slept last night. Tomorrow morning I have to talk, the look on his face is really unpleasant.


I went to the room and checked the phone, and right, the chat from Dimas streak. I read one by one with a smile. Until the last chat, Dimas asked me to stay up late, but I felt very tired. He finally called.


"Have your husband come home?"


"Udah." Answer me while yawning.


"That means you're not worried anymore, dong?"


"No. Where are you again?"


"In the post, in front of your rented alley."


"Well?"


"Meetings, miss."


"Don't ah. Danger. Come on, let's go home!"


He chuckled, saying tomorrow morning I should see him. I doubt if we can meet or not. I held my phone while looking at the ceiling. I absorbed what was present in my heart, fell asleep and then had a good dream, hoping to spend some time with Dimas.

Tomorrow, Irma's name I change to Princess, so Andri does not suspect.
