I'm a Savings Woman

EXPLANATIONS

Rayhan and Aldi resumed their journey after the completion of the magrib prayer.

"Bro, Iam hungry. Can we eat before we get to your house" Aldi said.

Rayhan laughing.

"Sure, why not." Rayhan replied.

They then stop at a restaurant that sells typical Indonesian food.

"I deliberately chose this restaurant to take you to eat. So that there is a different sensation, I am sure you have not eaten Indonesian food for a long time" said Rayhan.

Aldi just smiled, then Rayhan ordered food with a variety of menus. Starting from satay, grilled chicken, rendang, and others.

"Wow it looks delicious." cried Aldi.

"Yes, let's eat." said Rayhan.

They ate the food that was in front of them.

Izzah stood in the family room worried because Rayhan had not yet returned home.

"Actually where the hell is Rayhan bang.? Why until now has not come home either." said Izzah worried.

Bi Inah who saw Izzah pacing back and forth approached.

"Sorry madam if you are sassy. Madam why does she look so riled up?" ask bi Inah.

"I'm fine with bi. Oh yeah please don't call me madam, call me Izzah just." reply Izzah.

"It can't be that, it's not polite with the employer himself" said bi Inah.

"If so call neng Izzah aja, just like the call bi Asih and mang Diman" said Izzah.

"Alright then madam. Uh I mean neng." reply bi Inah.

"Oh yeah bi, did you see where Rayhan was?" ask Izzah.

"So I just saw Mr. Rayhan go in a car. Very fast running." replied bi Inah.

" Oh Allah where you go Rayhan, he does not usually not come home until this hour" said Izzah.

"Please calm down, sir must be fine. Don't worry, don't mind much. Not good for the content of Izzah neng."

"Do you know where I'm pregnant?" ask Izzah.

"So before leaving, Mr. Rayhan advised me to keep the Izzah neng so as not to be too tired and heavy work."

Izzah pensively heard the narration of bi Inah.

"I'll excuse you to go back first. Neng Izzah eat first, rest assured God willing Mr. Rayhan must be all right. Neng Izzah need not worry." said bi Inah then passed leaving Izzah towards the back room.

"I'm actually worried about Rayhan bang. It could be that at this time he even had fun with Bella until he forgot the time." murmured Izzah.

Izzah then returned to his room with food. After finishing eating Izzah and then perform the isya prayer.

Long enough Izzah paced back and forth thinking about where Rayhan had gone. On the one hand, Izzah was angry over the incident this afternoon. But on the other hand, Izzah can't lie to his heart if he keeps worrying about Rayhan.

Izzah's room door was knocked by bi Inah.

"What's bi?" Izzah asked as he opened the door.

"That's neng, Mr. Rayhan came with his friend" said Izzah.

"His theme? Wh who? A girl?" ask Izzah.

"Male neng." replied bi Inah.

"Yes, it's so fucking normal" said Izzah about to close the door.

There was a sense of relief in Izzah's heart because Rayhan had come home and was doing well.

"Sorry neng, Mr. Rayhan asked neng to come down to meet his friend." continued bi Inah.

"Tell me bi, I'm a males." said Izzah then closed the door.

Bi Inah immediately went down and told Rayhan what Izzah said.

"Sorry sir, Mrs Izzah said she was lazy" said bi Inah.

Rayhan let out a long sigh and looked at Aldi.

"Yes, let's go back to the back." Rayhan ordered.

"Well sir." reply bi Inah.

"See. Izzah doesn't want to see me. So, how can I explain everything." said Rayhan frustrated.

"Relax bro, now get your phone. Sms him, says give it a chance once to explain everything. After that the decision is in his hands." Aldi suggested.

"But, what if Izzah still doesn't believe. He kept getting divorced. Aarrrgghh I dont wanna lose her bro." said Rayhan.

"Bro try it first. I will do my best. Izzah must have believed, because I have proof. In fact, we are right, and we are not lying. So for what fear of trying. At least we've been trying to explain the truth. So that there will be no more misunderstandings between the two of you" Aldi said.

Rayhan nodded, then started writing a message for Izzah on his phone.

"Bismillah. Hopefully Izzah will come down." said Rayhan when sending a message to Izzah.

Izzah was lying down when a message from Rayhan came into his phone.

"Alright, I should give him a chance to explain everything. If he has evidence to deny his actions, I also have evidence to show him." said Izzah.

Then Izzah took his hijab in the closet, then went down with a box containing Rayhan's clothes that Bella sent, as well as an envelope containing photos of Rayhan and Bella.

When Izzah arrived at the living room, Rayhan and Aldi stood up to greet Izzah. Rayhan's eyes were fixed on the item Izzah was carrying.

Izzah then sat down on the sofa located far away from Rayhan. Then put the luggage on the table.

"It's a shame to know this brother's best friend who said he wanted to meet him this afternoon. His name is Aldi Permana." said Rayhan.

"Greetings." said Aldi.

Izzah replied with a nod.

"Honey earlier brother apologized already..."

"No need for pleasantries, it's clear what you want to talk about" said Izzah cut Rayhan's speech.

Rayhan sighed, then looked at Aldi and nodded.

"Sorry before, I dare guarantee everything that happened at the hotel was just a misunderstanding" said Aldi.

"Misunderstand how? It was clear that Rayhan was found perverted with his ex-wife. Still want to say misunderstanding, huh." said Izzah ketus.

"I have proof that Bella planned everything to get you into a fight. Rayhan did intend to see me because of my request. But Bella used me to achieve her goal. He said that it was Izzah who damaged his household. Until he asked me to help him meet Rayhan in that hotel room. I just didn't know that Bella planned all that. I'm so sorry, I'm guilty here too. This please Izzah see for himself the contents of the message from Bella." said Aldi at length.

Izzah reads a message from Bella on Aldi's cell phone. Izzah's eyes reddened, all Bella's messages contained what Aldi said. Izzah then returned Aldi's phone.

"Okay, I saw the evidence. And now I believe it was Bella's stratagem. But what about the evidence I have? Everything shows it is true that Rayhan is back in a relationship with Bella" said Izzah.

"Evidence? What does Izzah mean?" ask Rayhan.

Izzah then took out a photo contained in a brown envelope and Rayhan's clothes inside the box. Rayhan looks confused as well as surprised how the clothes that have been thrown into the trash can be in Izzah.

"Why? Shocked?" ask Izzah.

Rayhan was silent in a thousand languages, while Aldi seemed to notice a picture of Rayhan kissing Bella.

"Well remember this photo?" izzah. "At that time my brother said Bella suddenly came to my brother. Then hugged and kissed her brother forcefully. Okay then Izzah believed. But the next day this brother's clothes were sent home. There's a message from Bella saying that brother and Bella have met at the hotel. Izzah asked where my brother's clothes were. Brother answered in the dump due to mud splashes. But after Izzah checked carefully, there were no mud stains at all. There are even traces of lipstick and the smell of women's perfume." said Izzah at length.

"Oh Allah, how devious you are, Bella" said Rayhan. "But dear to God, my brother told Izzah the truth. Brother actually threw the shirt into the trash can. Brother is also confused how the story of the shirt can reach home again. If Izzah doesn't believe me, we can go to the store tomorrow morning. We'll ask the shop owner."

"You can just pay them to shut up" Izzah said.

"Astagfirullah.." cried Rayhan.

"Have bang, just confess to brother's mistake. You can be tight-lipped about the photo and the outfit, but you can't be tight-lipped about the video evidence anymore" Izzah said.

"Video more?" ask Rayhan.

"Do you know why Izzah was able to follow my brother last afternoon? Because last night Bella texted my brother's phone saying thank you for serving him, and she wants to see my brother again at the hotel. It's just that Izzah deleted the message because it doesn't feel good as brother has been sassy to open his brother's phone."

"For God's sake dear, everything is just Bella's wits" Rayhan said.

"What is this?" Izzah said he played a video showing Rayhan in a hot scene with a woman turning her back to the camera.

Rayhan and Aldi watched the video.

"Astaghfirullahal'adzim. Brother was never like that." said Rayhan desperately squeezing his hair.

Aldi then took Izzah's phone, watching the video closely. Then Aldi shook his head and smiled.

"Sorry before, not to interfere. But I can say this video is fake. This video is edited, this video does show Rayhan's face. But this isn't Rayhan. It's fake." said Aldi.

"meaning?" ask Izzah.

"Watch Rayhan's face in this video. Not showing any expression at all. Flat and monotonous, his vision was empty. If you look more carefully his forehead is too wide than Rayhan's forehead. His hair is not the same as Rayhan's" Aldi assures.

Izzah then took his phone back to look at the phone to confirm what Aldi said.

"Again, the woman in the video is not Bella. Because all I know is that Bella has a mole on her left shoulder." Aldi continued.

Izzah tried to convince himself that what Aldi said was true, but basic because Izzah was already jealous made him stick to his stance that Rayhan was cheating.

"How could Izzah have believed that Rayhan could not have betrayed" Aldi said holding Rayhan's shoulder.

"I will believe one hundred percent that Rayhan bang can prove that what he said about the incident of his clothes being exposed to mud is true" said Izzah then left Rayhan and Aldi.

Rayhan sat down and squeezed his hair violently.

"I didn't expect Bella to be this close" Rayhan said.

"Love is blind bro. It's so blind that a person's love can do anything for the person he loves." Aldi said.

Rayhan then got up from his seat about to go to his room.

"You're staying here tonight. It's late, you can sleep in that room." pointed Rayhan at the guest room.

"OK bro. I have to sleep now. Go get her." god Aldi.

"What do you mean?" ask Rayhan.

"Pretend not to know. Izzah was jealous to see the scene of you and Bella. Tonight buy him, make him forget about your problems. Good luck bro." said Aldi then entered the room.

Rayhan then quickly climbed up the stairs to his room.
