Dispute of the Heart (CALYA)

In One City

This morning Dirga will return to the city of his duty. However, this time he is not alone, Haira will come with him.

In front of the airport departure gate, Dirga and Haira were saying goodbye to their families.

"Good be there, son. Watch health. If there's anything on Mom's phone?" bu Broto said to his daughter after hugging.

Haira turned to Bu Edy, doing the same, hugging her as a parting expression.

"When there's something bothering you to tell Mom, huh?" said Mrs Edy.

Ms. Edy then turned to Dirga, "Dirga .. Take good care of your wife there. Remember, she's pregnant."

Dirga just nodded slowly.

After the session was over, Dirga and Haira entered the airport check-in room. Until finally the plane took them to the city where Dirga duty.

Dirga and Haira's car stopped at an inn. They got off, accompanied by a car driver who dropped off some of their luggage.

Dirga came in and ordered a room. After that, they entered the room.

"For a while you were here until I got a rented house for you" Dirga told Haira.

"You're here too, right, Dir?" asked Haira while unpacking the contents of her suitcase.

"I have to go home. I have to get back to work" replied Dirga.

"Certain .. am I alone here?" asked Haira again with an expression of disbelief.

"You can order food to the innkeeper. If there's any other need, just call me."

"I don't dare sleep alone here!" Haira sulks.

"You've always slept alone after being widowed, haven't you?"

"Dirga!" Haira jerking. Did not accept the name that Dirga said to him.

"I'm your wife, Dirga! It's not worth mentioning my status before. That would be as insulting as you are, because now you are the one who is fully responsible to me!"

Dirga. He just took a breath. Lifting up his bag, then walking towards the exit.

"I'll go home first."

Without waiting for approval from Haira, Dirga immediately passed away from the inn.

Riding on an ojek motorbike, Dirga returned home to his office. Sensing the presence of someone in front of the house, Calya rushed to open the door.

"The Dirga? You ... are back?"

Dirga nodded slowly. "Cal .. are you okay?" ask Dirga later.

"Everything's fine, isn't it, Ga?" Calya asked back.

Dirga did not answer, he just walked into the house and headed to the bedroom. Calya followed from behind. Dirga put down her luggage and undressed the clothes she was wearing.

"I took a shower, Cal, yes" said Dirga, who slipped a towel over her shoulder and walked to the bathroom.

Calya also went to the kitchen. Making a cup of warm tea for her husband. Then he sat down on the dining chair to wait for Dirga. Calya could sense that something was going on and Dirga would definitely say it after this.

After bathing and changing clothes, Dirga approached Calya at the dining table. The man drank tea from his wife.

"Darling, I'm sorry about yesterday's incident. Forgive me ..." said Dirga afterwards.

Calya shook her head slowly. "That's it, Ga. .. don't talk about it anymore. You've chosen to go with mom, and it's already happened. Now that you're back, tell me, what happened there? Is there a decision we will make again?"

The man immediately grabbed his wife's hand.

"Cal .. Whatever happens, never hate me. Don't leave me ...."

Calya pulled her hand from Dirga's grasp slowly.

"That burden shouldn't be on me. You decide," Calya said softly.

"France ...."

"Now tell me, what's going on?" Calya looked at Dirga.

"He's here." Dirga lowered his head.

"Him?"

Dirga again raised her head, and said, "Yes, Haira is coming with me. He wants to live in this city too."

Calya held her breath. He realized a new problem that would plague his life. No, not just his life but his home life.

"Why did he have to come here, Ga? Remember your career, Ga. If the leader knows, this could be a problem for you."

"Haira won't do anything in the office. Haira came here only to be close to me because she was pregnant" said Dirga.

"Then ... where is he now?" ask Calya.

"At the inn while waiting I got a rented house for her."

"That means .. will you be in two houses in turn? This is a small town, people will easily see our existence." Calya covered her face with both hands.

"I'll be careful, Cal. As long as you're still with me and trust me, everything's gonna be fine."

"believe it?" Calya did not continue her words anymore.

He just got fed up with the word 'believe'. That word no longer exists for Dirga. Repeatedly the trust was tainted by her husband.

Calya looked at her husband's face. It was as if he wanted to ascertain the feelings he had in his heart for the man.

Of love? Yes, Calya really loves her husband. Maybe because of that, until now he still survives even with a bad feeling.

Dirga stood up and walked over to Calya. After that Dirga bowed and hugged the body of his wife who was still sitting.

"I can't afford to lose you, Cal .... Forgive me .. forgive everything. Stay beside me. We can get through all this together."

A few tearful circles dripped from both corners of Dirga's eyes.

Calya sighed. I don't know why this time he didn't cry. Calya flinched hearing every word that came out of her husband's mouth.

"Promise, Cal .... Promise me, no matter what happens, our relationship will still be fine." Dirga.

"promised? I once asked you to promise, Ga. but it was in vain. Now don't ask me to do it. We will stay together, because as I said earlier, the decision is in your hands ...."

Calya gently rubbed her husband's back, then slowly released the embrace.

"Rest, Ga. I'm going to the market to buy groceries."

Calya stood up and then passed away. The reason he spoke of was really just an excuse. Calya was about to go to calm her heart. Her husband's second wife was in the same city as her. Will his heart share everything at a closer distance?

Dirga glued, staring at the departure of his wife. His heart felt empty despite having two wives close to him now. Calya seemed to be moving away from him. While Haira was not what she expected to get close to him now.

The woman he loves is Calya, but in Haira's womb there is a seed of her offspring. Dirga does not want to lose Calya, but Haira will give happiness to him and his parents.

Dirga crouched down, squeezing hair with both hands. He realized that all this was due to his negligence. How the virtual world has now made complex problems in the real world.
