CHEATING IS BEAUTIFUL IN THE BEGINNING

Chapter 4

Andri said he got the job, but the results were not predictable. I don't care, the important thing is that he's working. The problem of Meri's offer to work in the store, Andri handed it to me. He did not forbid but he did not allow it.

I'll think back, it looks like I have to see first the money from Andri, if enough, I won't work.

Today was so bright, Andri said to go out. He said he wanted to work, but he didn't explain in detail what it was. Nothing, he will tell. I just hope, this time he really works.

To celebrate Andri's work, I released the savings yesterday to buy cooking ingredients.

Spirit, I make jengkol stew, sambal terasi, fried tofu-tempe, stir-fry kale. Do not forget to fry salted fish, Andri's favorite squid. Special menu I make fried chicken.

I'm putting this food on the table.

Hearing the tone of the incoming chat notification from HP, I remembered Dimas. My smile soon broke, from my heart sincere. Sometimes I think, why didn't we go like this. Even if Andri is working, I won't let Dimas go. Dimas never gave me expensive items, but his presence was able to eliminate saturation.

I took the rice paper in the closet. Then I pack rice for Dimas. I'll hand it over later in the day, along with the side dishes I made and wrapped separately. Hope Dimas likes it.

In the park, we miss each other. Dimas was so good at eating the food I brought.

"You're a real cook!" Thumbs up right in front of my face.

I was embarrassed to hear his praise, but I was happy, considering Andri never praised me like this. Within minutes, the food was gone. Jengkol.

"The jengkolnya very steady. This time I ate delicious. Thanks Hel."

We looked at each other and forgot about the whole world. I forgot we were married. Both our preoccupations overcame our memories of sin. Ah, I can't fight my love interest in Dimas.

Dimas clasped my hand tightly, and whispered something until I was blown away.

This afternoon we took shelter under a big tree, sheltering from the scorching sun.

We throw each other meaningful smiles and gazes. It made me sting, when Dimas' naughty hands were about to curl around his waist.

"Ding... Dong... Ding... Dong.." lt..." The ringing of Dimas's phone made him pull back his hand and not hold me.

Dimas looked at me as if he knew I didn't like the ringing of the phone that was bothering us.

After I smiled and nodded, he accepted.

"Yes Ran, what's wrong?"

Seen anxiety on Dimas' face after picking up the phone that turned out to be from Rani.

"What, Dede high heat and then seizures?"

I saw Dimas' hands shake.

After disconnecting the phone, Dimas turned to me and said, "i'll go home?"

I nodded, but I still wanted to be with him. Enjoy the view of the park until the afternoon or if you can until night.

We left the park far away from where we lived.

Not felt, the dark relationship between me and Dimas has entered the fourth month. All this time we were safe. I changed his name five times on my phone. Andri never suspected. The more days he was even more friendly, back to the way we were just getting married. I didn't work at the store, because Andri promised he'd work hard again.

Once a week Andri gives money to shop. But I can't cover my personal needs. I stopped the cake because I thought it was a waste of time and energy. Now every day Andri goes to work, but I don't know what he's doing. He just said help out at Mr. Irwan's farm.

I don't care if he gets the money. I don't have to bash my bones. Just take care of the house and Intan. There was even plenty of time for affection with Dimas.

Something's been missing for a week. Dimas rarely called, oh no, he didn't even call me at all. No word, WA is also inactive. Every time I went out I never saw him again.

The longing and curiosity made me want to visit her house. I'm afraid Andri's sick. It would be very sad if he was sick, no one would take care of him.

But what reason should I make to visit them? There will be Rani suspicious, especially said Dimas, there is someone who reports that Andri often hugs girls to the park.

"Mom?" Intan disperse daydreams about Dimas.

"Yes Intan?"

"It's not dizziness Mom." Approaching and hugging.

I felt something strange in my body.

Intan! I touched the heat that felt hot. My son's feverish. Immediately I took a thermometer to measure body temperature.

I almost cried, the heat was high, and he looked pale. I get you paracetamol, and then tell Intan to drink. Fortunately, he had eaten chicken this morning. Even though she's not a toddler, but if Intan has a fever, I love her paracetamol first. If it doesn't heal, I'll take it to the doctor.

Not long after, Intan fell asleep. I regret that I thought too much about Dimas, to the point that my daughter was neglected. It seems like Intan feels pain from night, but he is reluctant to tell me. It's my fault because lately I've been scolding that innocent kid, he's my son who I wanted so much.

While Intan was sleeping, I went to the stall for a while to buy some kitchen spices. I also intend to make Intan porridge, because if you have to buy it must be troublesome. Usually when you wake up, Intan is difficult to leave. When sick, Intan is most happy to eat porridge sprinkled with ashes.

***

Coming home from the stall, I ran into Rani. Why is my heart suddenly beating so hard? He greeted me and smiled at me. I returned the greeting and was a little clumsy. We used to be familiar, but now I feel guilty for Rani.

"Teh Helen, where are you from?"

"From Ran's stall, buy the kitchen." I answered while turning my face to the streets.

"Sama, I also buy condiments." Show me a bag of groceries.

"The deck wasn't taken?"

"No, the same papa. I don't usually like cooking, I know for myself. Do not know why, now the husband often maksa want masakin."

I smiled bitterly.

In my heart I chided and humbled Rani. Feeling arrogant, I'm sure Rani's cooking will not be as good as mine.

I was so upset to meet Rani, I wanted Dimas to leave her. He's too over for a simple Dimas. I don't know since when, Rani so like make up. Her lips look ludicrous with a red pepper lipstick. Impressed naughty.
