I Give My Husband to the Perakor

Let God Reply

‘’We both have a grudge with the Faithful family, the jerk guy. You want to work together for revenge?’’

Makes my eyes round. My tongue was instantly made. Aunt Siska asked me to cooperate for revenge? I understood how the middle-aged woman's pain and heartache were. I know he must have been devastated by the loss of his twin who died by suicide.

Also, I feel the same. My heart was so sore and broken when the woman had an affair with my husband for so many years that the wrong woman contained my husband's seed. It hurts, what pain I feel. But I'm not the kind of guy who likes revenge. No matter how scratched and broken my heart is, I will not want revenge. Let Allah pay back all their deeds. Every action must have a recompense from the Almighty.

‘’Nelda?’’ Made me wake up from my daydream.

I took a slow breath and slowly exhaled. I tried to put together the right words to respond to Aunt Siska's words, hopefully my reason could be understood by this middle-aged woman. I hope that after I say this he resigns his intention to take his revenge.

‘’Please enjoy, Mba, Bu.’’ The cafeteria waiter came with my order and served it in front of us. Makes me sigh in relief.

‘’Hem, thanks yes, Mba.’’ The hooded woman nodded then smiled amiably. He hurried back to continue his work.

‘’Diminum first, Tan,’’ said I saw Aunt Siska looking at me with a difficult gaze to translate.

I sipped a drink that had been served by the waiter. Kulirik for a moment Aunt Siska was sipping espresso coffee. However, he was still investigating my face.

‘’How's Nelda?’’ repeat it while putting the remaining cup of drink.

Back to breath,’’ Aunt, I understand what Auntie feels. Honestly, I feel the same way. It was my heart when I found out that Mas Deno had been cheating behind my back for years. It's really ruined me, Tan.’’ I clasped the middle-aged woman's fingers again.

‘’Ta—but, vengeance will not solve our problems, Tan. Especially the twin aunt already in nature there. He will not calm down, if Aunt does not let him go. I mean, if we take revenge. That's the name we do not accept the departure of Aunt Mita. Poor in nature there. Yes, I understand the pain and loss that Auntie feels. But, it would be nice to leave all this to Yes Allah yes, Tan,’’ continued me while staring at the two netra owned by my best friend's mother. There was a sigh of anger from Aunt Siska.

‘’You have a point too, Nel. But, Aunt..’’ Her tears fell again. I'm nodding.

‘’I understand, Tan. But we have to learn to do it. I'm sure we can.’’ I hurried to hug Aunt Siska.

‘’Tante does not want it, if he later even does not calm in nature there.’’ He let go of the embrace slowly and then rubbed his tears.

‘’Will Aunty try. Despite the weight,’’ ogled Aunt Siska with a vibrating sound. There was a sense of relief that slipped in my heart.

‘’Then how about you?’’ I breathe heavily.

‘’I leave everything to God. Let Him avenge all that. I believe every deed must have its recompense from Allah,’’.

‘’Made from what the hell is your heart, Nel?’’

‘’Big jerk guy who wastes your kayak woman,’’ he added which makes me smile wide.

‘’Sometimes we have to give up something we love so much, Tan. Yes, maybe it's the best for us according to God.’’

‘’And a guy like Mas Deno, it's not worth keeping. Rubbish should be thrown in its place.’’ I said it firmly.

‘’Tante agree with all your sayings. Why defend a bastard who likes to cheat. Our hearts are broken every moment. Better released.’’ The middle-aged woman clasped my finger.

‘’From us discussing the man. We better eat first yuk, Auntie,’’ invite me to end the topic about the bastard man.

Yeah, I don't want to drag on in grief. I also want to feel happy every day. Remembering the man made my dry wounds seem wet again.

‘’We haven't eaten together like gini in the past, have we, Tan?’’

Aunt Siska nodded then smiled as she wiped away her tears. We also immediately ate a stick that had been ignored since. I feel relieved and happy. Finally Aunt Siska's heart can soften for revenge. I hope he really has explained what happened a few years ago and I also hope Fani's relationship with her mother soon improves.

‘’Oh yes, 3 hours ago, Tan. Naisya must have woken up,’’ I said as I glanced at the circular object in my hand.

‘’Iya, New. Aunty also wants to go to the hospital to visit Om you.’’

‘’Ya. Let me get anther, Tan. I went to the cashier first.’’

‘’No need, Nel. Aunty taxi ride yes.’’

‘’Let me alone who nganterin Auntie,’’ my rebuttal who rushed up and then stepped into the cashier.

I immediately handed over the credit card. After I finished paying, I went back to Aunt Siska.

‘’So not good Auntie with you.’’ The middle-aged woman got up and looked at me with a big smile.

‘’Laise, Tan. We haven't met for a long time. Moreover, eat together like gini.’’ I smiled at my best friend's mother.

‘’From the money you spent on the Aunt tract is better for shopping for your child's needs, Nel. Sometimes let Aunt change your money yeah,’’ said the middle-aged woman who managed to make me chuckle. I immediately shook my head.

‘’Tan, if shopping needs Aunt's grandson Alhamdulillah there is aja rezekinya.’’

Aunt Siska did not know that I am a writer who has a large income, let alone my savings are still there. Plus the papa company that was intended for my husband, has now fallen into my hands again because the man reneged on the promise that has been agreed with the deceased papa, according to the contents of the signed agreement. Yeah, I'm gonna set foot in that company soon and I'm gonna have a job there.

‘’Alhamdulillah if that, Nel. You are now a single parent. Must be clever frugality.’’

He said so probably because he saw from my simple appearance. I just smiled and nodded. We hurried outside from the cafe to the parking lot. Before I go home, I'll take Aunt Siska to the hospital.

The four-wheeler was splitting the road. I was in the middle of driving suddenly the sophisticated thing rang in my bag.

‘’Handphone are you, Nel? Lift it up, who knows it matters. Or want Aunt help taking your phone?’’

‘’Let me alone, Tan. I can kok.’’ I smiled at the woman sitting next to me.

Carefully my left hand picked up the sophisticated object in the bag I was holding. My right hand is used to drive. I lyrics for a moment the screen, occasionally looking ahead.

‘’Reno? What does that guy want?’’ My forehead frowned and put the sophisticated thing back.

‘’Who, Nel? How not to be lifted?’’

‘’No importance, Tan,’’ I said with a small laugh and then refocus on driving.

Maybe he will be surprised by my attitude. Ah, that sophisticated thing is ringing back. It seems like the same person is still calling me.

‘’Basic men! I was ignored, still disturbing. Less work times yes,’’ murmured me in a heart that felt annoyed.

Seriate.
