ENTANGLED IN MARRIAGE

Chapter 22

Al's cell phone ringer sounds put Neni's name on his phone screen. He immediately picked up the phone and connected it using earphones that he often uses when driving a car.

"Hello, Nen. Why?"

"Hello, Mas Al. Neni just wanted to tell you that Mbak Amera is not at home," the tone of anxiety Neni made Al was disgusted to worry Amera. Al is afraid that Amera ran away from home and then returned to her parents and told her the truth.

"You mean Amera left? Now ask Mali, where did Amera go?"

"Try Neni tanyain, mas. But Mali also does not know if Mbak Amera go where. He said he wanted to go for a while but it was already afternoon like Amera mbak mbak not home yet," Al was silent for a moment, if Amera said just leave for a while, it means he will return.

"Yes, then I'll try to call him. If he comes home, don't forget to call me again!" pinta Al before turning off the connection.

After the phone connection with his domestic assistant was cut off, Al immediately dialed Amera's phone number. But unfortunately the Amera number is inactive, it creates a deep frown on Al's forehead.

"Not a day has made me bother," said Al to himself.

Al drove his car twice as fast as before. It was getting dark while Amera had to be found. At least Neni told him that Amera was home. Until finally Al saw a pair of foreign men and women in his eyes were talking in a quiet place. They looked familiar so that Al stopped his car and then got out of the car to approach the two people. They seem to be chatting.

"Do you want to go home? Let me take it," bargained the man for a woman in front of him. They are none other than Revan and Amera.

"No need!" al said breaking up the conversation between them. Amera turned her head and was certainly surprised to see Al now standing in front of her.

"What kind of man are you, who dares to meet a married woman?" Al makes fun of Revan, who smiles back at him.

"His husband? What kind of husband would let his wife go alone and almost eat three thugs hungry for women?" reply Revan no less fierce.

Hearing Revan's sentence just now made Al glance at Amera who was currently standing next to him. Al could see the fear in his wife's face. That made him wonder.

"What do you mean?" ask Al.

"You should thank me the same. Because your wife has just been made into a meal by three men at once" Revan explained. Then choose to leave rather than any more misunderstandings.

"I'm sorry!" his memoirs covered leaving in front of Al and Amera.

Al was still not understanding what Revan said. But seeing the remaining tears and fear on his wife's face made Al think that something bad had happened to Amera.

"Other times if you go have to get my permission first! I don't want things like this to happen again" Al said firmly.

"But, mas-"

"Let's go home!" amera has not yet explained, but Al has already covered and entered his car.

***

"Mas Al, wait, mas! I want to explain to you, "Amera is after Al's step first into the house after they both get home. Amera had to explain the real incident, she did not want Al to disagree with Revan.

"You want to be clear especially, anyway?" Al was forced to stop his steps when Amera preceded and confronted him. Amera looked at her husband fixedly, while she clenched the roar of her breath that was wheezing due to chasing her husband's steps.

"I just want to apologize to you, Mom. I was forced to leave the house without your permission. I was in a hurry, so I was going to buy something at the minimarket. And on the way home, the online taxi I was riding suddenly came home because I had to go to the hospital, I was dropped off on the road earlier. Suddenly some people were flirting with me and he was also willing to do something indecent with me, mas," Amera tried to explain, hoping Al would believe his words.

"Then what's the point of your phone? Why didn't you call me when things were so precarious? Why is Revan there?"

"That's it, mas. Hp I died because I forgot the charger last night. If it's about Revan I don't know why he's there either. But I'm really grateful that he came on time and saved me from those people" hearing Amera's last words didn't know why made Al seem to want to be angry. He should be grateful too. Because Revan, his wife is not the food of thugs who are hungry for women.

"Revan? I think the bond between you is too strong. So that even when you are in danger he can appear at any time to drown you," after saying this, Al went from the presence of Amera to the hearing room with an upset face. While Amera sighed after taking a deep breath.

"Mas Al is why? How could he hate that same Revan. But, jude. The important thing was that Mas Al believed that I met with it by chance, "Amera breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, convincing Al and making him to believe his words was something he had to do. She did not or did not love her husband. But why should he do it like a couple in general. Likewise with Al who was upset and angry when there was another man who tried to be a hero for his wife. The man is the ex-boyfriend of his wife.

Amera who was originally still standing on the spot immediately followed Al to the room.

***

Amera looked at Al who was sleeping on her back. The incident this afternoon came to his mind. Moreover, Al's question was raised to Revan.

"What kind of man are you, who dares to meet a married woman?"

That last sentence was as if it was lodged in Amera's head.

I don't know why Mas Al married me. Ruining my relationship with Revan. I think Mas Al doesn't have the same feeling as me either. Nor does his attitude show that he likes me. But why in front of Revan earlier, he acted as if he was afraid that Revan would come back to take me from him.

Amera exhaled a long breath, several times adjusting her breathing also to neutralize pain in the abdomen. With a little massage using his own hands to reduce the pain. A cold sweat started to drench his forehead all the way to his neck, everything he did ended up in vain. The pain is just getting more and more, his waist also feels hot.

Unable to endure the pain, Amera slightly moved her body rolling to and fro. In the interlude of the ringisan due to enduring unbearable pain. Sometimes PMS can be this painful.

Feeling his body swayed, Al who was originally asleep woke up. On seeing Amera was rolling beside him, that was the cause of the bed swaying turned out.

"Why?" al asked, his eyes not fully opened yet. At first he wanted to scold Amera because it had ruined his slumber. But hearing the ringing, Al undoes the intention.

"My stomach hurts a lot, Mom. Hix.. Hicks.." Amera could not bear the pain, until she finally cried as much as she could. Seeing his wife endure the pain to tears, Al was made to panic.

"ill? How sick? Do I need to get the doctor or do we go to the hospital now?" Al suddenly got up from his bed and invited Amera to go to the hospital right now. He's really freaking out. But Amera refused.

"No need, my mom. It's just a normal pain, really."

"Ordinary pain how, you cry gini. Anyway, we're going to the hospital now. Don't make me bother again!" al said firmly. At first Amera thought Al panicked because she was anxious. But in fact he does not want to be bothered later he why.

"I just need some cloth, mas. Usually if my stomach hurts again like this I tie a cloth," Amera's pinta does not reduce the ringing.

"But it can be dangerous. What if your stomach is going to be okay. I am also a bother!"

"It will not be dangerous, Al. Then my stomach used to hurt when again came the month like this," immediately Al was silent, he thought something bad that caused his wife's stomach to hurt. It just seems to be coming in a month. And the men underestimate that by saying 'free'.

"Jude, stay a minute!" Al looked for a piece of cloth in his closet, but there was no cloth there. Instead, Al takes his old tie which Amera can hopefully wear.

"I don't have the cloth you mean, it can be used too, right?" Amera grabbed the tie from Al's hand.

"It can, mas. Thanks, yeah!" then the tie immediately Amera tie on the stomach. Al came out of his room.

Not long after, Al returned with a glass of water in his hand. And Amera was surprised when Al gave the water to her.

"Drink!" al said when Amera actually looked at him. Amera was nervous.

"L-yes," he immediately gulped down the drinking water by half. Amera did not expect that Al akaj would give this kind of attention to her.

"Where? Did you eat?" tanya Al made sure, because Amera already looks better than before.

"Udah. Thank you, mas," he said with a smile.

"Hem. Now sleep! If you're sick tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital, "and then Al's getting ready to go to bed again.

"Yes, mas" Amera said. She closed her eyes after glancing at her currently sleeping husband facing her. His smile came back from the corner of his lips.
