Enmeshed in the Love of a Married Man

4. Neighbor Gossip

"Who is he?" Ask Dani.

"Workers." Reply Adi.

Dani scrunched her forehead, glancing towards Adi with a face of disbelief.

"Related co-worker?" Ask Dani again.

"That's not to be discussed. What's your business here?" Adi asked back to try to divert the conversation.

"You forgot, my family lives here. Okay, don't bother. That's your stash, isn't it?" Dani again glanced at Ayu who was still sitting by herself. "Beautiful too. How long is it?"

Adi pushed Dani's head.

"Early, go. I'll explain to you all later." Adi Say.

"If you're bored, pass ya."

"Damn it!" Adi returned to head Dani.

Dani broke down, then patted Adi's shoulder.

"Don't play with fire you'll burn." Said Dani then left in front of Adi.

Adi sighed and improved his hairstyle, then walked back to Ayu who seemed to be stirring juice in front of him.

Ayu looked at Adi questioningly as Adi stood before her. Adi smiled and then sat back in front of Ayu.

"Who was Mas?" Ask Ayu directly.

Adi first drank the orange juice in front of him then just answered Ayu's question.

"Friends play." Reply Adi briefly.

Ayu continued to stare at Adi, hoping that Adi could explain all the questions that were inside her head.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Ask Adi.

"Wouldn't you like to explain something?" Ask Ayu again.

"What do you mean?" Adi asked back.

"Don't you want to tell me about Sarah?"

Adi shook his head.

"It was never clear to you that Sarah was my sister."

"Keep why did Mas' friend ask Sarah the same Mas? Is it the same Mas brother that always goes both ways? How strange it is to hear." Ayu rolled her lazy eye.

"Now I'm asking you. Do you not often walk with Aldi, your sister?"

"Often not yes. But if it's obvious once in a while, it's because he's my brother. But this is different, my. I've been feeling weird a few times with this Sarah." Ayu.

"So you don't believe the same? We think Mas is lying to you about Sarah?"

Adi looks angry and takes his phone out of his pants pocket and then shows Ayu a photo where there is a family photo. Where there are the figures of Sarah, Adi and Mama from Adi and a small child.

"It's.... This is Sarah, my mother, and Sarah's son."

Ayu still feels strange with this woman with Sarah.

'If it is his sister, why do they not look alike?' think Ayu.

Ayu looked at Adi and looked back at the phone in turn.

"Do you really not believe in me?" Ask Adi.

Ayu remained silent, she did not say anything.

"How can our relationship continue to a more serious level if you yourself can not believe the same completely." Adi's face looked down.

It makes Ayu feel guilty for continuing to suspect her lover. Ayu then holds Adi's right cheek.

"Mas, I'm sorry. I'm just...."

"Have it, it seems like our relationship will be hard to work out because..."

Ayu cuts Adi's words by putting her index finger on Adi's lips.

"Please Mas, don't talk about it anymore. I'm sorry, but I trust you the same. Don't sulk that dong, Mas so ugly you know." Ayu tried to tease Adi by pinching her cheek.

Adi smiled and held Ayu's hand and kissed her.

"Honey, I love you. I don't want to mess around in our relationship. I'd like to be serious, so why would Mas relate to you if you did suspect Mas was lying about Sarah's status."

"Yes... Yes, I'm sorry." Reply Ayu.

Adi smiles.

The two continued their date at the mall. Adi bought a lot of clothes for Ayu. Do not forget to also buy some items for Ayu's mother and also Aldi, Ayu's sister.

"Mas, this is too much. I can't take all this." Ayu said as Adi continued to choose clothes for her.

"Here you are, you are deceived. Let Mas choose. I want you to look fashionable." Reply Adi.

Meanwhile at Ayu's residence....

Since this morning, Ms. Ida was busy at the stall serving buyers. With Ayu who is not there to help him, make Bu Ida a little too late.

After all the food was finished, Ms. Ida then immediately closed the stall. He was so tired of taking care of everything himself. Actually Ayu had forbidden him to open the stall today, but Ida insisted because there were still groceries in the refrigerator that if not cooked would soon rot.

In the afternoon, Ms. Ida decided to take part in a routine study held at the neighboring house of Ms. Ida. The study was routinely conducted once a week and held at the homes of mothers who attended the briefing in turn. However, it is more often held in a nearby mosque or mosque.

Ms. Ida finished preparing, wearing a navy-colored long robe with a matching hijab. Bu Ida looks simple, not wearing other accessories like most other mothers.

"You want to study, Mom?" Ask Arya who just got home from school.

"Yes, look after the house. Food is ready on the table." Said Ms. Ida.

"Residence in Ma'am's watch? Houses can't run." Aryan Gelak.

Mother Ida clapped the laughing shoulder of her youngest son.

"Here you go, Mother walk first."

"Yes, be careful Mom. Straighten his intention to study, not even go huddle." Reply Arya after greeting her mother's hand then ran into her room.

Ms. Ida just sighed then rushed off to the recitation.

"Thank God it's not too late." Said Ms. Ida.

The door of the house where the teaching event appeared open with many slippers of the mothers who had been present in it, but there was no sound of teaching at the beginning.

When she was about to go inside, Mother Ida heard the talk of Mothers in the house.

"Yes, the Ayu son of Ida Bu was long widowed, continues suddenly now look handsome man who looks very sticky." Saying a Mother.

"True, all this time I was very excited about Ayu's widow. Sok beautiful, and always seduces many men in our village. My husband belongs to the same persimmon guy he is." Reply to another mother.

"Why he can't be like Miss Ida yes, his appearance is so closed that it doesn't invite the lust of men."

"Alah, Miss Ida can also be like her son. Both widows, who knows."

"True, if she is a good mother, yes she must nasehatin his son so as not to odd all men. If indeed the same man is often his girlfriend, get married immediately so as not to cause gossip."

Kuping Bu Ida felt hot, he then turned around and did not enter the house. When she turned around, Ida accidentally hit an ustadzah who would become a lecturer at the lecture.

"Mrs Ida!" Say the Ustadzah. "Where are you? Why not come in?"

"Ah no Bu Ustadzah, next time only. I was at home wrong, I wanted to study from home. But it looks like the inside is more properly referred to as a gossip society." Said Ms. Ida smiling then saying goodbye.

***********

Bu Ida waited for Ayu who had not yet returned home when it was getting dark. At 8pm, a car stopped in front of the house.

Ayu figure out of the car with a lot of groceries. But Adi did not appear to go down and immediately tancap go.

When entering the house, Ayu was immediately pulled by Ida Bu who invited her to sit in the living room. Madam Ida immediately said...

"Well horrified Mother, you do not travel alone too often or meet with Adi. You're back into the talk of the neighbors because of yourself who often appear to make out with Adi, he's not your husband."

Seriate.....
