Loving Another Woman's Husband

CHAPTER 7

That night they were chatting and joking. It seemed like it was no longer the same as before with Mas Ryan. Mas Ryan also seemed to have not seen the difference in age of 17 years between them, because Dita who can be invited to tell about work problems to daily problems.

Dita was still curious about one thing, but she was very hesitant to ask Mas Ryan. As much as he dared to start asking, "Mas Ryan, sorry yes I might be a little presumptuous to ask, I didn't mean anything. Does Ryan have a wife? I'm sorry once again for my question if it's not polite."

Mas Ryan laughed at Dita's question, and saw her expression that was afraid to ask her, "I understand Dit, you might feel uncomfortable sitting in front of me like this. You're afraid of being thought of, aren't you? I also understand very well that you don't want anyone to misunderstand me if you see us like this."

Dita smiled and nodded because it was true that was what she thought, Mas Ryan was able to guess what the question meant.

Ryan tried to start explaining, "If asked to have a wife or not, the answer has. But not everyone understands my relationship with my wife. But most of my friends already know, my employees already know, only our parents do not know about my relationship and my wife."

Dita was a little confused and started to gnash her forehead.

Seeing Dita's expression, Mas Ryan continued his explanation, "I tell this is not for any purpose, rarely actually I direct the story about this. Most people know because they see firsthand or maybe because they find out for themselves."

Dita still did not understand, and still listened while propping up her chin waiting for Mas Ryan's next explanation.

Mas Ryan tried again to explain, "We've been married for about 8 years. We were arranged for both of our parents. We got married when my wife was 20. Our marriage was happy, like a household in general. But it only lasted 1.5 years. After that everything changed."

Mas Ryan returned to the story as his eyes looked bright, "Maybe at that time because of his very young age, his soul who still wants to be free to play with his friends. I never restrained him, but maybe because I was too free, he cheated on me. He had an affair with a man his age at our 1.5-year marriage."

Dita saw there was a deep sadness from Mas Ryan's eyes. This man had a dark side to his home.

I found out he was having an affair with the same man. But I pretended not to know. But during the separation of the beds our relationship was harmonious, there was no more fighting. We're like friends. I asked him if he was still in contact with the man. He was honest that they were still in a relationship, he claimed to love the man very much. If she is kicked out of the house by then she is ready. Indeed, financially my wife is fairly established because she has a boutique business in several malls, so even if you have to get out of the house she will not mind.

One year I was devastated, I let it go like I didn't see it. I just focus on the job. For a long time I was used to it. So we slept apart until now. At home like a friend.

Our parents were both in Borneo, so until now we didn't know what had happened. In front of them we look fine. Not to hurt their hearts in their old age. And I don't know when it's gonna be like this."

I feel sorry for Ryan. Men his age should have enjoyed a harmonious household and children. But he is currently only focused on work to turn his attention to the household that is not clear where to take him, all he does for the sake of his parents. He was willing to hurt himself for the sake of the happiness of his parents.

Since he could accept that his wife loved another man, he began to open his heart. Ryan claims to have had several relationships with several women and his wife found out about it. Even some of Mas Ryan's close friends and employees had seen his wife making out with her affair, so Mas Ryan let people judge for themselves how the household was. He just tried to hold on to it as much as he could.

Dita can only encourage Mas Ryan to always be strong and think positive. Dita also thanked Mas Ryan for telling me about his personal problems.

Dita did not want to comment too much, because she was afraid even impressed presumptuous. Because for him Mas Ryan was willing to tell him alone he was grateful, meaning he could still be trusted by others to listen to his outpouring of heart.

In order for Mas Ryan not to be too sad for too long, Dita immediately tried to build the atmosphere again. He borrowed the game Uno with waitress at Leaf Cafe, and invited Mas Ryan to play. Mas Ryan was cheerful again, they laughed loosely while playing Uno and let go of all his sad feelings.

When he came home, because it was too late Mas Ryan drove Dita up to the boarding gate and then went home.
