“Jaga speak! I'm your husband, you can accuse me like that. It's true that I used to love him. But now different, I already have children and a wife who is my responsibility. It was only a mass then, and stop slandering me like that!”. Hendra then left Sandra who was still standing there,

While crying and holding her cheek that had been slapped by her husband. He continued to cry bitterly, not expecting that he would receive such treatment by Hendra.

I did not expect Mas Hendra to slap me like this, this is all because of you Ningsih. I thought you were just looking for a job, but it turns out you also want to snatch my husband, all mine. I won't let you do this Ningsih. Justjust look. Inner Sandra.

Days passed, quarrels after quarrels continued to occur in the household of Hendra and Sandra. Sandra always ignited Hendra's emotions when she was at home. Can not stand Sandra's attitude that increasingly so make Hendra puffed and did not feel at home for long in his own home.

That day at the office, when Hendra was meeting with an important client outside. Suddenly Sandra came and hit Ningsih who was at work.

“Ningsih, come here I want to talk to you”. Said Sandra while pulling Ningsih's hand out loud. Ningsih was confused, as well as the security guarding the main director's elevator at that time seemed to help Ningsih, but he signaled so that the security stood back in its original place. Sandra dragged Ningsih into Hendra's room.

“What is this San ?”. said Ningsih astonished by Sandra's treatment.

“What are you asking? It should be me who asks, I am not so good that you are not satisfied with my help and now you are trying to snatch my husband!”. Sandra snapped without further ado, making Ningsih startled to cover her mouth with both hands.

“Astagfirullah Sandra, what do you mean. I don't understand, what's the matter until you talk like this”. Ningsih said while trying to control his emotions because it has been slandered like that.

“you don't have to pretend you don't know!”. While looking at Ningsih's face. “Now you are more free to spend time with Hendra mas, because you are now a secretary. What is my fault with you Ningsih until you do something like this. I didn't think”. Sandra kept on messing around.

“I think you misunderstood San. Me and Hendra are just coworkers, he's the boss and I'm the employee. At least I don't have any thoughts of taking him away from you, he's your husband my best friend's husband. How could I do such a wicked thing to you”. Ningsih said in a low tone while trying to hold Sandra's hand. But immediately pushed aside by him.

“You! No need to be good in front of me now, I will not eat your cunning talk like mas Hendra. And I warn you, stay away from my husband! Or I'll ruin your life!”. Sandra threatened Ningsih and left the room slamming the door.

Ningsih who was still in the room could only stand silently staring, he was digesting what was currently happening. How could Sandra accuse him of that, what made Sandra do it. He kept thinking whether he had ever done anything wrong to make him accept this kind of action.

Ningsih was too long to stay in the room, unconsciously turned out from earlier Hendra noticed himself.

"What are you, Ningsih? What was Sandra doing here? I've been told by Security that he's from here". Hendra asked while trying to resuscitate Ningsih from his daydream.

"Eh, sorry . N-no papa. I'll get on with work first". Ningsih replied in confusion and immediately left Hendra in his room.

After Sandra's arrival to the office, making Ningsih not focus on working because he continued to think about Sandra's words earlier. Evening arrived, all the office staff one by one went home. But not with Ningsih, he was still silent at his desk thinking about what he had to do in order to correct this misunderstanding with Sandra, he did not want the household of his two friends to be a mess.

The clock shows at 19:00, when Ningsih was still in the office. He was suddenly startled by the sound of shards from the room Hendra.

YOOHANNNGGGGGG !!

"What's that sound? See why Hendra's room lights are still on, what time is it". While looking at the clock in his left hand, he walked slowly towards the room.

"It turns out it's like this hour, I might not have been aware of it. Grandma must be looking for me, but what's wrong with Hendra". Ningsih saw Hendra talking on the phone with someone who seemed to be very angry. All the files he had on his desk were scattered on the floor. "What's wrong with her, is this related to me because Sandra's coming to the office". Ningsih muttered in confusion.

After he saw Hendra turn off his phone, Ningsih ventured into the room. Intended to ask what was going on.

Tokk tokk..

"Who?". Shouted Hendra in a loud voice.

"Yes, comein". Brief Hendra.

"I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, are you okay?". Ask Ningsih again.

"Why did you speak so formally? It's normal to talk to me, don't hesitate". Said Hendra as he approached Ningsih.

Smelled an unpleasant aroma as Hendra's distance got closer to him. Smells of alcohol, does he drink alcohol? What did he think up like this. Inner Ningsih.

"Why are you quiet?". Bentak Hendra, making Ningsih surprised.

"You why Ndra? Did you drink alcohol". Ningsih said while rewinding her body so that she could get a little away from Hendra.

"No, what are you drinking that for? I've been drunk enough with my life, if I drink alcohol again I can get drunk". Hendra replied which made Ningsih more convinced by his conjecture.

"Come, sit here. I want to tell you a few things". Invite Hendra while patting the sofa that was already in his seat.

"No, I'm just standing here". Ningsih refused.

"No! you should sit here". Jerk Hendra while pulling Ningsih's hand, making him jerk in shock and sit down beside him.

"You know Ningsih, I'm tired of all this. Marriage, work, everything makes me bored. Moreover, with Sandra, the longer I get fed up with her attitude". Hendra began to tell stories without being asked, but he saw Ningsih was tweaking his hp. "Aren't you listening to me?". Ask Hendra in a slightly loud tone.

"Eh, yes. Yes, I heard. What happened to Sandra?". Ningsih asked while tucking her phone under her left thigh.

"She, I'm sick of her. Every day it cornered me with its ill-defined assumptions. You know, he accused me of being in a relationship with you. I'm trying to be a good husband and father to my family. But it feels like my efforts are not appreciated by him". Hendra again.

While Ningsih was playing her phone again, she was trying to contact someone to help her in this situation. But he hasn't done that yet, yet,

PRPRRAA!!!!

Hp Ningsih was destroyed after being thrown by Hendra.

"Yet again, you didn't listen to me! You know Ningsih, I've liked you for a long time but because that stupid match made me unable to express my love for you. See now my parents' dream home is not as beautiful as they dreamed it would be. I should have had the courage to refuse that match in order to have you". Said Hendra while tightly holding Ningsih's hand, making him even more frightened. Now Hendra brought his face closer to Ningsih, his face sweating his eyes reddened glaring. He is now under the influence of alcohol.
