LET ME CHOOSE MY OWN PATH
chapter 2
" Who's calling?" Much
" Hmm .. hem"
" Nobody dear, let's take a break" he asked.
" You can't think of anything weird, like our baby's grandpa," she said
I tried to make peace with my heart for the baby I was carrying.

The sun has revealed its light in the sound of birds rumbling.
I got out of bed, with a distended stomach I was walking around.
It feels very tired, but said Bik Ijah that is how pregnant people. Enjoy every process.
Bik Ijah always cheered me on.
I walked into my room, and I saw my husband still asleep.
Last night's incident made me reluctant to wake her up. The more I water the plants behind the house, it's more fun.
While busy chatting with Bik Ijah while watering the plants, suddenly I was surprised by Mas Amar from behind.
" Good morning my love," she said.
" Are you awake?" Much
" Yes," he answered
" Dear, tomorrow Mas want to go to Bali for three days, there is a board meeting of your Board of Directors at home in the same care of aunty well," he said.
" Why, suddenly?" I asked full of search.
" Yes, I just got a call from Mr. Roy" he said.
****
Early in the morning Mas Amar was ready with his suitcase.
" God go first yes, you are good at home, take care of our future children" he said
I nod my head without answering, I don't know if there's any suspicion surrounding this heart.
I feel like my husband is lying.
I took Mas Amar to the terrace until the car he was driving disappeared from view.
I returned to the room after dropping off Mas Amar, making up the messy bed.
I intentionally did not ask Bik Ijah to clean it up.
Ting!
Ting!
My laughter reads, a message from who else is this, dragged I walk to pick up the device on the nightstand.
Gluey!
Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, how shocked I was when I saw the contents of a message sent by an unknown person.
The man sent me a picture of a friendly husband and a woman, tears just like that without me noticing.
My body drooped, I sat leaning on the edge of the bed, crying over the fate that was not on my side.
It turned out that my suspicions were right, Mas Amar betrayed. How you are so! My inner
Don't you think about the child I'm carrying, you lament.
I must avenge this betrayal, I will make calculations! you'll regret hurting me.
Ting!
The message from the sender was, he sent me pictures of my husband and the woman, I was more curious to make.
Who exactly is the person who sent the photos and what is the motive. I tried to reach him but my call was not answered.
Ahhhh!
I screamed as loud as I could, my heart completely broken at this moment, in this state of great pregnancy. Suddenly Bik Ijah came to me.
"Why Non?" Ask Bik Ijah, aunt heard non screaming.
"Mas Amar, he betrayed me Bik!" I stared at Bik Ijah.
"It's Non! No need to cry, Non must be strong for the sake of this baby," said Bik Ijah while stroking my stomach gently.
Bik Ijah strengthened me because he also experienced the same fate as I am experiencing today.
I cried so much in the arms of a bik Ijah that I had considered like my own mother, a sense of calm enveloped in his arms.
***
Ting!
Message from my husband.
[Dear, what are you now, have eaten yet]
[It looks like Mas still has to stay here a few days, next week just come home]
[You take good care of yourself and our child-to-be]
I'd rather take a break than think my husband doesn't know himself.
Geck!
Geck!
Bik Ijah knocked on the door.
"Go inside Bik" I shouted from the room
"Drink the milk first Non! This day Non has not eaten anything," said Bik Ijah while offering a glass of warm milk.
"The problem was not necessary to think about Non, it is better to just rest" he asked
Nodding my head, after drinking my milk back lying down, I felt so tired of crying all day.
Want to call Ayu but it's night, I should sleep, while stroking my distended stomach and occasionally I invite her to talk.
Hows it? My son's fate will be if my husband chooses to leave me! I have to be strong I can definitely get through all these trials.
****
One week passed
Geck!
Geck!
Bik ija ran to open the door, apparently my husband came home.
"Hallo baby, Mas's home! What are you again? Ask Mas Amar.
"Go home too! I thought you had forgotten your way home!?"
"What do you mean? How come you say that! Husband comes home instead of being welcomed even diomelin," grumbled.
"I'm telling you, right" I'm asking
"You think I'm a stupid woman!" My yelling.
Then I show you the photo someone sent me yesterday.
With wide eyes Mas Amar saw all the photos of his mesra.
"All that is an edit, dear! There are people who don't like it!" He tried to explain.
"Alright, if you think it's a trap! But remember that this is true!" My threat.
With a wave Mas Amar passed leaving me.
You'll be very sorry.
***
I saw Mas Amar was busy playing his dress accompanied by a cup of coffee and a little snack.
"Mas, let me go to doctor yuk!" Take me
"You why? Are you giving birth?" Ask her.
"Let's go, my stomach hurts" I said.
****
"Milah's mother is just a false contraction, the condition of the fetus is healthy" said the doctor.
"Thank God then Doc! Thanks, saying.
"Together"
On the way home I just kept quiet without speaking, I just stroked my distended stomach.
"Why are you quiet, honey? You still mad at me?" The cerocos.
"I'm tired" I replied.
The car we were driving continued to split the highway, all the way until I got home I was just silent.
When I got home I saw Bik Ijah waiting on the porch, he helped me get down from the car to the room.
"What did Doctor Non say? How is Non?" Ask aunt.
"Just a false contraction Bik" I said.
"Thank God then, don't take a break."
***
In the room I just lie down, about to sleep but these eyes are reluctant to be closed, it feels grand. Sleep position as comfortable as possible so I can sleep. Still I can't sleep.
I came out of the room to fetch water, because my throat was dry like a desert.
I set foot slowly towards the kitchen, I saw the house so quiet, maybe Bik Ijah was asleep I thought. But where my husband has been since he came home from the doctor I haven't seen the trunk of his nose.
Usually these nights he likes to sit on the terrace while enjoying cigarettes and coffee.
While carrying water I searched for its existence.
How surprised I was when I found my husband on the porch, he was secretly …."
"Mas ... What are you doing ha!?"
"You really are Mas!"
"You ...
