Look at Me, My Husband
S1. Chapter 38
“Really? Nai is curious about Stevi's husband. Do you know him?” ask Naina.
“Of course I know him. Very.” The hero answered with ease.
“What Nai wants to know. I will answer it.” The hero gives a chance.
It felt like he wanted to be frank, but he was not ready to accept the harsh reality that might be stopping in his life. She was not ready for Naina to leave, until whenever she was not ready. A one-night mistake that even he felt he didn't do, but had to endure.
“Really? Nai can ask everything?”
Hero nodded.
“Is he your schoolmate too, Mas? Do you know Stevi's husband? Means he's in the alumni chat group, right?” asked Naina with her curiosity. For some reason, Stevi's story made him curious. There is an unwarranted interest.
“Mmmm ...”
“Mas, why has Mas and Stevi's relationship recently stretched? Nai no longer find your chat discussing beautiful women or handsome men.”
“Ha! Nai peeked at Mas's chat with Stevi? Discussing the problem of beautiful women?” ask the Hero to make sure. Pretending surprised.
"Mmmm," Naina muttered with a pouting face.
"Nai jealous?" The hero chuckled, stealing a kiss on his wife's right cheek, the hug on his waist was getting tighter.
Naina nodded. "Yes, my husband talks about beautiful women, how I'm not jealous."
"Mas loves you, Nai. Loving that beautiful woman in the mirror." The hero pointed towards the makeup mirror in front of him.
"Mas, Nai's serious. Did Mas's relationship with Stevi deteriorate because of Stevi's marriage to Mas's friend?” guess Naina.
Smiling hero. "Why does Mas's wife like to gossip?" The hero pinched his wife's nose.
"Mas, Nai's serious. What ...."
“Ya ..” The hero answered briefly.
“Why?” ask Naina, astonished.
Wira back to. "The more Mas replied, Nai would be more curious. It's not good to tell people disgrace, dear."
"Mas, Nai wants to know." Naina was half begging. His tone sounded spoiled.
Sighing in a rough breath, Wira finally relented. Chose to follow all his wife's wishes.
“The wedding was there because of Stevi's trap. According to Mas, responsibility is not necessary until marriage. There are many ways to carry out their responsibilities. Moreover, he is a married man,” explained Wira, at length. His voice sounded high because of the emotion that came suddenly.
“Mas why be emotional once?” Naina frowned, astonished by the attitude of the Hero that changed suddenly.
“Ha?” Wira gawking. The look on his face was obvious that the man was holding back anger. Naina could see it clearly from the reflection of the makeup table mirror.
“Stevi is indeed a good friend of mine, but Mas doesn't like her way, Nai. Love doesn't get that way either. There's limitation. Especially with a married man.”
“Nasi has become porridge, want to be flanked by Mas? Nai pityes his first wife, but pity also with Stevi.”
“There are many ways of being responsible, but it does not have to be until marriage. That's what I love about Stevi's attitude that continues to force.”
Naina who had been listening with calm, suddenly thought.
“It's not fair, Nai.” The hero said it with a trembling tone. That's how you've felt all along. The world is not fair to him.
“Life is never fair, Mom. Since when is life fair ... Nai knows what it feels like to be born out of such circumstances.” Naina gently rubbed the hand of the Hero that locked her stomach.
“That father had many wives. Nai son of third wife ... Dad rarely came home, even Nai felt that he did not want Nai. Father only loves the children of the first wife. Dad never even hugged Nai from a long time ago, if coming home just looking for mom,” Naina told me.
“Mas knew from the beginning that Nai did not want to be combined, did not want to be polygamous, because Nai knew what it felt like. Whatever I want to be, children will be victims. They cannot get the affection of both parents intact.”
“Ya, Mas know.” The hero answered briefly.
“Don't corner Stevi again, Mas. Nai and my late mother know what it's like to be Stevi and Nola,” said Naina slowly. Those beautiful eyes suddenly cut into the river. Glassy trying to cover the wound that suddenly reappears. Old wounds that he had saved himself.
“Mas ...”
“Mmmm ...”
“Mas, it's not like Mas ever told you that Stevi was ...” Naina did not want to continue her sentence, it was too evil to call Stevi a cheap woman. However, from the story of Wira so far, Stevi is indeed a woman like that. Stevi and her mother's past is not much different from her past. Only living alone with his mother, but the path Stevi chose was different from her.
“Ya .. that's also one of the reasons, Stevi's husband doubts Nola is his daughter, but has already done a series of checks. Nola is his daughter. And ...”
“And what, Mas?” ask Naina. His curiosity is becoming.
“And both Stevi's husband's parents knew it too. Those who urged the marriage were accomplished.”
“You mean Stevi's in-law, Mas?” ask Naina. Somehow mentioning the word in-law, Naina remembered with her in-laws this afternoon. Both of them loved Nola in an unusual way. What because so crave a grandchild or I don't know.
Hero nodded.
“Until now, Stevi's husband is still unsure and trusts his daughter Nola. Refusing to believe it exactly, but the evidence was already in sight. In fact ... that reason is also what makes Stevi's husband's parents urge marriage, to save Nola.”
“What makes Stevi's husband unsure?” naina asked, frowning her forehead.
"Nai .. Why do you want to know so much about what is none of your business? Hero reminded.
"It's been so far. Nai should know everything. Curious, Mas. At least Nai can learn in the future. How to take care of Nai's own husband." Naina reasoned.
"Mas, why is Stevi's husband still hesitant? He was married long ago. Nola is funny, Mas. Nai likes it too."
“Entahlah .. according to him .. The bond between father and son must be there, but until two years of marriage, he does not feel that Nola is his son. Even if love is spoken, dear it is visible, just because of a sheet of DNA test results. Something he couldn't possibly deny anymore.”
Naina's speechless. Since then the woman has been arranging stories that come out of her husband's lips.
“Her father Stevi feels the same?” ask Naina.
“Maybe not.”
“How can they be sure? That Nola is their granddaughter?” tanya Naina still kept her curiosity.
Smiles spread on the lips of the hero. “They are not fools. They must have found out before acknowledging Nola as their grandchild. Not just from Stevi's words. They must have held the evidence.
Long Naina was silent, before finally the woman turned to hug her husband tightly. “Mas, he's not Mas, right?” ask Naina, slowly.
