CHEATING IS BEAUTIFUL IN THE BEGINNING

Chapter 7

After meeting his client at the hotel, Fiki returned and took me to a familiar place. We visited the most beautiful place when we were in school. A place that is second home to us. Bakti 2 High School, that's where I spent a fairly naughty school, although often truant but my grades never dropped.

The situation is very much different from the look of the school ten years ago. We walked around every corner of the school, happened to meet Mr. Rendi, the head of TU (Regulation) at that time. Now it turns out he is still in charge of TU.

The school was deserted, as there were a few things so the students were sent home early. Very different, now every class has a beautiful view, students are free to paint the walls of the room with favorite colors.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"We're nostalgic."

"But I'm ashamed, I look old. What if I see Bu Tia?"

Ms. Tia was my homeroom teacher in 12th grade, I felt guilty because I used to make her dizzy. Thank goodness he wouldn't recognize me.

"Please, teachers again at the meeting, so we can talk freely in the school yard."

"Got ah! Let's find somewhere else yuk, I'm not good."

"Well, the page across the street doesn't belong to the school, we can stop by while observing our school first."

He insisted, we sat under a tree with a long wooden chair. An unkempt garden, where lush grasses soar upwards.

We can see our old school as ordinary, but now it looks magnificent. The building is growing, the extracurriculars are increasing. I imagine, the students who now must be very happy with the complete school facilities.

Due to the supportive atmosphere, the story of my household problems just flowed out of my lips. Fiki responds and feels pity. He confirmed that a husband and wife should be open to each other. Trust is the most important thing in a relationship.

According to her, Dian had an affair, because Dian did not believe that Fiki loved her, after Dian accidentally found Fiki's diary in school.

"Fik, I think we've had enough of nostalgia, besides there are no really good memories that are present in my memory."

"Ayu, I'm not satisfied with all the memories that once made me smile."

I feel uncomfortable for fear of being caught by someone who knows me and Riswan.

"When I was in school, I really liked someone. But I dare not reveal. Several times I didn't but didn't care. It hurts the hell, the point is my love claps one hand."

Who's the woman Fiki meant, Dian?

"But you ended up marrying her, right?" Trying to guess the story of Fiki.

"Not, not Dian. To be honest, I still love him."

"Udahlah Fik, it's the past, mending you focus on your life now. Who is that girl?"

"He's right next to me now."

Spontaneously I turned towards him. Are you serious that I am his past?

"What the hell, don't joke you Fik!"

I laughed back and forth looking at the flat expression on Fiki's face.

"That's why I didn't dare say it before, you're going to have fun with me!" With a cold face he tried to convince.

Fiki is serious, I hope he can forgive me. I was insensitive from the first time. The day passed with a hug. I let her when she hugged. There are other feelings when everything happens so quickly.

I feel guilty because I never took him seriously, actually I also remember all the things he did, his attention and jokes. But because he's a humorous person, I would assume all his words were guyonan.

Today is the last day that Mirna promised. But until the eve of the night, Riswan did not give any sign. Feeling annoyed, I asked in a taut tone.

"Well, where's the rest of your savings?"

"I haven't seen Mirna yet, Mom."

"Lied!"

"The husband came home from work not treated to drink, instead put on a sour face!"

"Didn't he promise to give me the rest of my savings today?"

"Yes, but I haven't been to his house yet."

"liks. You know, I see him every day. What is Mirna's father and mother's relationship?" Suddenly I had courage after these few days of being close to Fiki. Fiki concluded the contents of the chat that I read the other day, it was clear that Riswan and Mba Mirna were playing.

"No anger how, for one year you lied to me!"

"What's the savings problem?"

"It's not just savings, but there are many others."

"Dad cape, Mom. I don't want to fuss, I want to rest first."

Riswan dodged but I continued to follow, flocking with questions. Even though he was lying down, curiosity prompted me to make him talk.

"So you really have a relationship with that flirtatious widow?"

"Shut up! don't fuck him like that. She's a widow, but she's not as flirty as you said!"

"So you're more defending him. Good, now I get it."

"Stop Ayu! He's my cousin's brother."

"Cousin but have a disgusting relationship!"

Plaque!

He slapped me.

"You're too much, Mas!"

"I-I'm sorry, Yu. But you shouldn't accuse us of having such a relationship. Disgusting how does that mean? Remember, we're still sodara!"

I was crying as much as I could. They are more convinced that they have a relationship. If there was nothing special, it wouldn't be that far as Riswan defended him.

Riswan hugged me and I took it off violently.

"Dark! Calm yourself, after that we can discuss this. I reiterate, I've considered Mirna an older sibling, so there's no way we've got the relationship you'd expect."

What I experienced, almost similar to what happened to Fiki. Fiki said, Dian also used to not confess at first. After Fiki himself is looking for evidence and he manages to catch Dian and her lover in action in a hotel room, then Fiki can act.

Whether burned with jealousy or humiliation, I was so enthusiastic about opening the veil between the two of them. Now, not only does Mr. Tomo know about them, some neighbors try to provoke emotions, saying that Riswan and mba Mirna once went to a hotel.

I don't need Riswan's explanation and I don't want to talk about it. For a while I would keep my mouth shut in front of her, during the new wedding this time she dared to slap me.

I used to love him so much, because he was a gentle and understanding man. Once this slap, it let me know that Riswan doesn't need me that much.

It's hurt because he doesn't want to be frank, now my heart hurts like stuck in an election.

I took it and the potluck money in the closet drawer. Not forgetting the phone lying on the floor, I grabbed it. Then put on a jacket and go look for things that can treat the pain.

"Where are you going?"

"To mother's house."

"You what?"

"Squiet yourself."

"This is a matter we can talk about well."

"Mas just rest. Let me go alone."

"Wait Ayu!"

I ran a little while opening the ojek online application.

Riswan's hand stopped my hand that was on the phone screen, "Let me take it!"

"No need!"

"If I don't deliver, I won't let you."

I had to obey her will, all the way to my mother's house, we didn't make a sound. I wanted to ask for an explanation but it was definitely just a lie he told.
