Marrying an Abuser's Ex-Husband

Chapters. 141

"Assalamualaikum" said someone who attracted the attention of Clara and Meri.

Clara also took the initiative to open the door and return to her original seat while grinning cunningly.

"Ma–mas Gunawan? Why did Mas, come here?" Spontaneous Meri who was stunned asked so.

"My wife told me to come here earlier. He asked to pick me up. Want to go home now?" Gunawan looked at Clara.

"Yes, Mas. But wait, I have to go to the bathroom first." Clara darted deeper into the house without asking which bathroom was next to her. But he did not need to know the room, because this is the plan. Clara accidentally left Gunawan and Meri with her there. Then eavesdrop behind the wall bulkhead.

"Where are you, Meri?" gunawan asked open the conversation as his wife had already disappeared from sight. He couldn't bear to not ask.

"Ba–baik, Mas." Meri felt unsafe to be left alone with Gunawan. He felt threatened and depressed, because the greatness of past memories began to scatter into his head. Make Meri unfocused and agitated. He can't be in that situation for too long. It feels very painful even as it squeezes the chest. Pain once met in person like this with people who have given wounds, Meri is not comfortable.

Gunawan looked at Meri from top to bottom and then back again. "Great pity on you, Meri. Now you have to use a wheelchair like this. You used to be so beautiful when you could still use both feet. High up," he said was concerned about the state of Meri.

It looks like Meri is squeezing her fingers nervously. The phone is wet. Patience makes Meri more restless. He doesn't know what to do to avoid talking to Gunawan.

Meri can't linger with him. Now only his head has been wracked with a bluish look no muddle. Meri was really scared. If Cahyo was at home, he would have had a companion at this time. I won't face Gunawan alone.

Suddenly Gunawan grabbed Meri's hand. "May …."

"Let go of my hand!" exclaim Meri reflex while removing the grip of Gunawan's hand. "Ma–maaf." He was nervous and sorry to have behaved like that. Meri was worried Clara would hear or see him.

"Come, Meri. Don't be like this. We're connected by Tia. Remember that? So we have to get along." Gunawan's words made Meri shudder in disgust. "I love Tia, Meri. So do you. Although Tia is there because of my fault with you who have trouble controlling our passions, but she's the fruit of our love, Meri."

"Stop, Mom! What do you think I am a woman?! Tia is there because you are forcing me, Mas! Not my wish! You think I took it for granted all this time, Mom? Nope! It's so hard to accept Tia! Even for decades the boy has accepted my hatred! I never wanted her to exist!" sumpul Meri with iris deflecting pooled. It hurts to remember all that. Meri never saw Tia as a child. He's nothing more than a disgusting stain for Meri's life. The middle-aged woman really hated Tia as well as Gunawan.

"Don't be like that, Meri. Ii'm sorry. I know I did all that wrong to you. But never hate Tia. Poor him. He doesn't know anything" Gunawan explained. Her heart was heartbroken to hear how Meri hated Tia–his heart from Meri–he child she had always loved.

While behind the walls Clara was heard to find this reality. Tia is Meri's illegitimate son as a result of Gunawan's surgery. Clara was completely inexhaustible.

Amidst the intense and emotional talk Clara suddenly appeared, leaving Meri and Gunawan gasping. Silencing their mouths, like never having anything to do with them, like strangers.

"Have, Ma?" gunawan asked nervously. He was worried that his wife had accidentally listened to a chat with Meri.

"Is there anything I'm missing? Mas's? Why are you so nervous?" Clara pretended to ask why Meri and Gunawan suddenly became nervous like that.

"Tb ... There's nothing, Ma. We just chatted like a host with his guests" replied Gunawan as he restored his hair to relieve his nervousness.

"You look so close. Is it true that you are only the host and guest?"

Clara sat down at the place back then smiled modestly at Meri and Gunawan. Now he knows everything and knows what to do. Clara swore she would never let anyone touch her family. He will keep things as before.

Meri chuckled haggardly, covering up her anxiety. "Yes, Mom. Only the host and guests.In addition, we are also only limited to old acquaintances, Mom. My husband used to be an employee of Mr. Gunawan. But this time I faced him directly. Because previously only heard short stories from Mas Cahyo alone." He squeezed the end of the shirt restlessly.

"really? Did Mas Cahyo tell you anything about my husband?" Clara immediately responded to Meri's remark.

Meri was stunned to hear a quick question from Clara, but soon regained consciousness. "A–ah, i–itu .. Mas Cahyo said that Mr. Gunawan is a good boss." Meri.

Meri doesn't know how to answer Clara's spontaneous questions. If it is not answered immediately or refuses to answer, it will definitely make the situation suspicious. Because it seems Clara has a prejudice on Meri. Evident from his sudden arrival and inquiring about Tia and Gunawan's relationship.

"just that? Is there no more?" Clara observed Meri intensely. He urged Meri to tell him more than she said just now. Curiosity still touches the heart of the woman with the elegant and luxurious appearance.

"Ti–no, Mom. That's it." Her salivary gulp was agitated. His heartbeat was already very chaotic, banging on the rib cage as if asking to be released.

Clara's existence has made Meri scattered and now coupled with the presence of Gunawan, the more panic he feels. In her heart Meri continued to pray, asking God to make this couple immediately leave her house. He could not stand facing both. They were both heartless and selfish.

"Lord, please servant. The servant is no longer strong. Why didn't Cahyo come right away, where did he go?!" the Meri murmured in the heart. He turned his head towards the door hoping for Cahyo to come soon.
