ENTANGLED IN MARRIAGE

Chapter 20

Is this woman Al? That's what Neni's mind is all about.

"You're the housekeeper here?" amera's question breaks Neni's daydream.

"Yep, mbak. Kenalin, Neni," he reached out and was immediately put in office by Amera.

"Ameras."

"If you may know, then this is what is Al? How can I be here?" his curiosity is growing.

"I am his wife Mas Al," Amera's answer made Neni very surprised, even he forgot that his eyes were almost dislodged because of glaring too much.

"HUH..? HIS WIFE MAS AL???" his seven-octave voice almost made Amera's ears in pain. Neni really does not believe in Amera's recognition.

"Serious brother of his wife Mas Al?" again, I still want to convince. Because for many years he worked in the Permadi family residence never felt Al brought or introduced a woman to his family. Amera just nodded her head allowing.

"But how can you, ma'am? Neni gini loh, mbak. Mas is the type of man who is indifferent if his slang is introverted. And, this Al mas is a fierce person," Amera smiled stifled at Neni's last sentence.

"Kerus mas Al also never knew a single woman to his family," immediately Amera stunned. Neni's words just now made her even more confused. If Al is indeed as Neni said, then why Al easily proposed to him and even married him.

I'm more sure, if there's anything Mas Al's covering up from me. There must be some reason why he married me. Butwhat?

Amera remembers when Dad asked Al's parents at the wedding. At that time, his father died and his mother was abroad. And all that could be present was his sister-Can. Is Al Betkata honest?

"Emmm... Neni, can I ask you something not the same?" Neni nodded enthusiastically.

"Can. Ma'am Amera wants to do it with Neni?"

"Is it true that his mother Mas Al is now abroad? And the papa doesn't exist?" there was a sense of hesitation at first to ask Neni that, but Amera had to know the truth.

"Oh, that's right, ma'am. Ressa's mother Mas Al emang again in Singapore. He said there was business. And his father Al had died about a month, "Amera nodded her head several times, meaning Al did not lie about his family.

"Al has never told the same story as Amera?" Amera simply responded with a smile.

"Oh yes, Nen. If you can, don't let Al know if I ask this question to you, Dad!" pinta Amera is hopeful. Neni nodded and was ready to keep this a secret.

"Ok, mbak."

"Yes already then I want to ready mas clothes Al work. Next time we talk again, yes," Neni assented before Amera finally left the place of its establishment. Amera stared at Amera's departure with a still confused gaze.

"Assalamu'alaikum mah, pah," greeting from a man who had just returned home made the two parents who were waiting for his arrival get up from the living room sofa.

"Greetings ladies, Revan. Where the hell are you going, Van? Why didn't you come home last night? Mama is worried about you," the feeling of being worried about a mother for her child can not be denied, especially Revan is the only son of his puppet.

Bu Marina felt Revan's body when she saw her son's clothes were tangled and shabby.

"Where are you really, Van? Answer mama! Don't make mama more anxious, dong!"

"I played yesterday to my house, mah. Keep me asleep, maybe I'm too exhausted," replied Revan lying, do not want if the real reason makes his mother more anxious.

"But the smell of alcohol on your shirt can't lie to us, Van. You tell me what really happened! Does this have anything to do with Mera?" mr. Indra who was originally silent also chimed in. He doesn't like lies.

"What do you mean?" revan asked as if he knew nothing.

"So, yesterday your mom got a photo sent by someone. In the picture, Ameta is married to another man. Do you know about that?" like getting a hard blow, Revan's body is now sculpting. Where do they know Amera's wedding, and who's the sender of the photo they mean?

"Yes, Van. At first, my mother believed and was almost encouraged. But after papa said that it might be an edit photo, mama was a little more relieved. And now I'm asking, which one's right, Van?" both of Revan's parents couldn't wait for his answer. The atmosphere has now turned tense.

After waiting for his son's answer, Revan finally opened his voice.

"Yes, mah. Amera is married to another man. All this time he's been cheating on me," as if in the atomic bomb, Marina's heart is now blown and it feels very broken after Revan confirmed it. His body was squeezing, his heart was hot with emotions.

"cheating? Why did that happen, Van? Mama thought Amera was a good woman, but in fact she was nothing more than a traitor," Marina was furious, she did not accept what Amera had done to her son.

"If you meet him later, you will teach him a lesson!" added the middle-aged woman," Mr. Indra tried to calm his wife, although he himself was also disappointed.

"What's the real problem, mah? I've been watching since you had a nightmare last night, you've been daydreaming all the time" Papa Abdi and mama Anna, who are currently in the coffee shop, are taking a break for lunch. But seeing his wife who kept daydreaming made him worry.

"I'm okay, pah. Maybe that's how you feel" mama Anna answered lying. Obviously from that moment he was daydreaming. Even some of his employees were surprised when they saw it was not like ordinary days.

"Yes already. Then we have lunch first at the restaurant, well," papa Abdi's invitation immediately nod mama Anna.

"Yes, pah," replied the woman, trying to smile.

I'm sorry, pah. I had to lie to you right now. Later, if I have met the same woman who has the exact same face as our daughter's face. I'll tell you for sure.

"Come, mah. I daydream again, anyway," said papa Abdi while his wife was still sitting on the sofa where they rested at his coffee shop.
