Dispute of the Heart (CALYA)

Promise to Survive

Gazing far out through the window glass with a blank look, Calya slowly turned to the newly appearing voice in her bedroom.

"Darling ... are you okay?" Himself, the husband walked up to him.

"You know, I'm not okay" said Calya.

"He ... Haira .. I also do not understand why he dared to come to the office, meet Mr. Bambang and say everything. Cal ... keep holding on. We're gonna face this together. Everything's gonna be okay." Dirga was now in front of Calya.

"I should have asked you about your attitude. What kind of attitude are you going to take against your second wife?"

"He's really gone too far. He was intent on destroying our household."

"You just realized it now? After making love to her on your honeymoon night?"

"France ...."

"Why, Dir? If only your brain was sane and never enjoyed the marriage, you would never touch it. You broke the promise. And now .. This is the result of your own actions. That woman wouldn't have dared to go this far if she didn't have the weapons to attack me. He had a weapon that was even more formidable than fate. He got the love of both your parents. And he .. will give you happiness through the child he contains."

Dirga. It was as if he had just gotten a punch of arrows from Calya's words.

"I'm sorry, Cal."

"Related is always behind, Dir. Now ... It all depends on you."

"Yes, no matter what happens, our relationship will stay this way forever, Cal. I promise you." Dirga approached, grabbed both of his women's hands, then hugged his wife's body tightly.

The next day, Calya gets a call from Pak Bambang's wife who is the head of the women's organization in Dirga's office. He was asked to come to the office for a regular monthly meeting. In addition, of course Bu Bambang wants to hear firsthand the news about Dirga's second marriage from Calya's mouth.

"Oh Miss Dirga, how did the story go?" Ms. Dito greeted Calya who had just entered the meeting room.

"That's what Mr. Dirga remarried."

"Mr Dirga ...." Bu Bambang took over the chat. "I feel the need to know the clarity of this matter from Ms. Dirga directly, because even though this is a personal matter, it is a personal matter, but because the woman who claimed to be Mr. Dirga's second wife had come here and faced the office leader, then I as the head of the women's organization here also need to get the appropriate information."

Calya nodded, agreeing with Bu Bambang's words.

"Yes, Mom. It's true, Mr. Dirga remarried, and it's to my knowledge."

"Wow, how could that be Miss Dirga?" Ms. Heri said.

"Can you allow your husband to remarry at this young age?" Dito interrupted.

"Yes, there's a reason. We do this for humanitarian reasons. Mr. Dirga's second wife was very ill and asked her family to marry Dirga so that she would be operated on. Hmm .. They were lovers."

"Astaghfirullah ...." The boisterous voices of mothers echoed Calya's exposure.

"Then Miss Calya allowed it?" ask Bu Bambang.

"The woman's mother came here and begged me for her daughter's safety. There was no choice, the call to help as humanity moved my heart to give permission." Calya paused for a moment.

"Bu Bambang, Ms. Heri and Ms. Dito don't have to worry, my household with Mr. Dirga will be fine." Calya continued.

"But .. listen .. Mr. Dirga's second wife is pregnant with Mr. Dirga's child. Is that right, Mom?" ask Ms. Heri again.

Hearing that, Calya's joints ached. He did not expect that the news of Haira's pregnancy had spread in this office.

His tongue feels ugly. Stiff. He doesn't know what to answer. If you agree, it certainly backfired for him. People will conclude that Dirga enjoyed his marriage to his second wife.
