Happy After Parting With You

Chapter 6

My view is fixed on the top pop chat, from the profile photo it looks that the sender is a woman. With my heart pounding incessantly I opened up a chat with the number.

Chequek!

"Geez!"

I was surprised to see Mas Ilham who suddenly entered the room, even my phone until it escaped from the handle.

"Why you?"

"Ah, i-it's not, well, Mas, it's I'm seeing another horror movie, it's a horror movie."

"When do you like horror movies?"

I know Mas Ilham may be surprised because I was most anti with the name of a horror movie. However, there is nothing more horrifying than knowing she is having an affair.

"This, Mira said there was a good film, and when Mas Ilham entered it happened to be the demon also appeared in the film."

"Oh, kirain why, if you are afraid do not try to see. You'll have a hard time sleeping."

Mas Ilham was seen walking towards the bed and preparing to sleep, his phone never separated from his grasp. I even glanced at him when he put the phone under the pillow. So scared of him that I'd find out what's on that phone.

Inspiration had broken down his body, and he was also asleep. It sounded from the soft snoring coming out of his mouth. Indeed, my husband is the type of person who easily falls asleep if the head has touched the pillow.

I opened my phone again, my voice was deliberately quiet so that he did not suspect that I was still not asleep. I went back to the profile of the woman, and I opened their chat history.

"Mas, tomorrow we meet again at the usual place, yes. Just a few hours apart I miss you."

One of the messages that just came in from a contact named Julia. On it there are many more other friendly chat, and it feels very disgusting when I read it.

From their conversation I can guess if Mas Ilham acted like Don Juan who always obeyed the wishes of this woman. Then where does money come from? Let alone the money he always asked for this he used to meet his cheating lifestyle.

This cannot be allowed, I laboriously made money for the necessities of life, and he easily gave it to his selfless mistress. From now on I will not give him money.

"Look, Mom, what game are you going to get for cheating on me."

***

"Sir, you still have money, don't you? For dong, today I want to meet a new boss candidate."

Looks Mas Ilham is neat with a blue shirt, he said he wanted to meet his new boss. But I know that's just the reason.

"I don't have any money, Mom, it's over to buy the house." I try to be patient while still focusing on makeup, sometimes I glance at it through the reflection of the mirror.

I could see the look on his face changed, it seemed like he was going to be angry, stupid.

"You don't have a dime?"

"Nothing, just make everyday shopping less."

"I told you yesterday to borrow your friend or someone else."

He spoke lightly, as if borrowing money was easy. It's easy, but I'm embarrassed to do that. It's obvious that my husband never supported me.

"You know for yourself, don't you, it's an old date. They're just like me, the paycheck's up."

"A little time no, anyway, Dek? One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand?"

"Nothing is."

"Come on, Deck."

I took a rough breath, annoyed with his whining behavior like a child.

"Mas, I don't have any money right now, if you want you can borrow it first with your friend who gave me this job. Tell him he'll change your paychecks."

"It can't be that, dong, Dek."

"Why can't it? You told me to borrow it from my friend, now it's my turn to say the same thing you said you couldn't."

"Yes, because I don't feel good."

I know my husband just reasoned, he would not want to look like he had no money in front of the woman. Especially to borrow money from him.

"Ck, yes, it is. Just be careful if I pay later, don't expect me to give you a dime."

"Are you sure you're paying?"

***

I left the house with a stupid attitude and chose to leave for work immediately. When on the way felt the phone in my jacket pocket vibrate, I just let it first and I will open it later when I get to the office.

"Mas, don't forget about 1 o'clock, yeah, I'll wait in the usual place."

"Yes, honey, I won't forget. Grand Avenue Hotel, right."

Mas Ilham's conversation with his affair made me nauseous. For almost five years married to me, only in the early days did she often call me dear.

Now, the boro-boro calls me dear, paying attention and performing its duties is difficult.

The deg!

Grand Avenue? Isn't the location of the hotel not far from my office?

"Okay, Mom, don't expect you to meet your cheating."

With a plan that suddenly presented itself in my head, I entered the office. Just wait later, during the break I will go out and catch them.

"What did we eat today?"

Mira comes to me every time the break comes. Usually we will choose the same menu for the afternoon.

"I want to go out for a while and have business, so I can't have lunch with you."

"Where are you going?"

I stopped my hand that was putting some things in the bag. Then take a cell phone and show the conversation between Mas Ilham and the woman he cheated on.

"So, you want to raid them?"

"Yes, and I'm leaving now" I said, holding the bag to my shoulder.

"Are you alone?"

"Yes, just for a minute, I'm gonna find evidence of my husband's affair. After that I went back to the office. Isn't two o'clock meeting with Mr Alvin?"

"Okay, be careful, let me know if there's anything."

After that I rushed out of the office. Twelve o'clock in less than ten minutes, it takes about thirty minutes to get there. So I rushed to start my bike and drove a little fast.

I chose a shortcut through the back of the office, because if the main road can be sure to be jammed, and it takes a long time.

To get to the Grand Avenue hotel I had to pass through the village road on the left and right are still filled with rice fields. The road wasn't too crowded either, so I could speed a little to get there.

However, my estimate missed. In the middle of the road apparently there is an event so that the streets must be closed completely. I was looking for an alternative path, but nil, I didn't completely memorize this area.

I had to turn back, and it took a long time. Twelve o'clock past five minutes, hopefully I can catch up on time. I finally got back to speeding so I could get to my destination quickly.

Through the highway it was not as many as I thought. Huft, I should have chosen to go this way instead of just going round and round. Just wasting time.

Almost near the location of their meeting I got faster on my bike. Suddenly there, not far from the entrance of the hotel I saw two people walking around hugging.

From the posture and clothes worn it seems like Mas Ilham. And is she the woman my husband cheated on. His face could not be seen because of their position behind me. I drove towards the hotel where they were meeting.

After parking the motorbike, I immediately followed them. Looks like they're still in the hunt because it looks like they just got into the hotel lobby. And sure enough I saw them still waiting in front of the elevator.

While sneaking around I tried to follow them, both of them were seen entering the elevator. I immediately ran over and saw which floor they were going to. The elevator in front of me was still moving up, that's when my phone rang.

Holy hooch!

It's past the break, it looks like today's meeting is about to start and I haven't returned to the office yet. How'this? Do I have to go back now or follow my husband?

Aaaargha!
