13. About Pongki and Anna

Pongki fell silent on the balcony of his second wife's apartment. Besides, it looks like a glass of coffee that has just stayed dregs. Pongki looked at the sky that was turning red, because the sunlight had started to sink. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

The idea goes back to 29 years ago. While he was still fighting to marry Berta. Pongki was a poor man who had no possessions. He was just a lowly employee who served in Berta's father's office. However, even so, Pongki graduates S1. He was able to finish his college studies by working part-time. Until he can be received in the company owned by Berta's father.

His meeting with Berta was the first time, when Pongki was assigned to deliver a report to the house of his superior, Mr. Agus Sumarno. Berta had just graduated from college. From that first meeting, they fell in love at first sight. After meeting often, they began to establish a special relationship behind Berta's parents.

Once, Berta's parents learned of their relationship. After they had been in a relationship for a year. Different religions and different social status, making Berta's parents disapprove of their relationship. Despite this, Pongki continues to seek his blessing, marrying his lover, Berta.

Until the meeting at the title. Berta's parents asked Pongki to hand over the amount of application money that he could not afford to give to Berta's parents. Because, the economic factors that have not been stable, then Pongki determined to take a shortcut. Yeah, he started out as a narc*ba town.

It took only a few months, finally Pongki was able to meet the requirements of Berta's father. However, their journey has not been smooth. Pongki was faced with the choice of having to choose the Berta religion or not marry Berta, at all.

Regarding that one, Pongki gave up, he retreated and could not play with his religion. Pongki disappears from Berta's life. But Berta did not give up. The woman looked for Pongki everywhere, finally they met in Pongki village.

Pongki is desperate and chooses a chaotic path, drunkenly and becomes a useless thug in his village. Berta's presence gave rise to a glimmer of hope. Berta was willing to marry and choose the religion of Pongki.

27 Years ago, they were legally married, in the presence of both Pongki's parents, as well as his other witnesses. They start from zero and live happily. Even so, the terror continues to be received, because Berta's parents are afraid their children are lacking, if they live with a poor husband.

Pongki again chose a lost path. He entered into the mafia members who produced the illegal goods. Slowly, his life was settled. In fact, he covered his illegal business with the legal business he built to launder the money he earned from his illegal business.

Until one day, Berta became pregnant and gave birth. Slowly, Berta's parents began to accept his jaya and his status as the biological father of Berta's parents' grandchildren. The relationship awaits and the in-laws slowly improve, in fact, Pongki becomes Berta's parent's main son-in-law.

Actually, Pongki wanted to end his illegal business. It's just that there are a lot of worries he's facing. He was afraid that, without illegal business, his legal business would be ruined and under-income, and would bring his son and wife back to a difficult life. After all, he already has a network to the international. No one survived, getting out of the business alive.

About Anna, the introduction of Pongki and Anna began 5 years ago. Where Pongki is avoiding the pursuit of police who are beginning to suspect him. Pongki meets Anna in one of the villages. The innocent and beautiful Anna, helps Pongki to disappear for a while. While Berta, only knew Pongki was abroad.

However, Pongki does not fall in love with Anna. Instead, it was the feeling of pity that made Pongki unable to escape from Anna. Plus, Anna's position is one kara. Because Pongki lives with Anna, the villagers ask Pongki to marry Anna. With no other choice, Pongki marries Anna, though he feels guilty for his legitimate son and wife.

After her case was closed by a lawyer, Pongki returned to the city, and bought her the apartment, which happened to be one building with Frans's apartment. He often divides time between Anna and Berta, without being suspected by Berta. But today all the secrets are revealed, by his own biological son.

Destroyed, that's what Pongki felt. One side he had betrayed his marriage, one side again, he could not have divorced Anna who was a kara. Anna is so dependent on her. Starting with money and everything. Because, to work alone, Anna does not have a diploma that can make her accepted in a company, or have a decent job.

Feelings of pity and guilt towards Berta and Bella, continue to haunt him. If he could be honest, he loved Berta very much. Therefore, he prefers a lot of time for his son and wife compared to Anna.

Anna's stupor and the woman's beauty cannot replace her love for Berta and Bella. It's just, already been his wife, Pongki can what?

"Yes..." There was the sound of Anna walking towards Pongki who was dissolving in her past memories.

Pongki turned his head and looked at the face of his second wife. Then, he smiled and looked back at the sky that afternoon.

"It's dusk, let's go in" Anna said.

With a restless face, Pongki got up from his seat and rushed into the apartment.

"Let's take a bath, '" Anna handed Pongki a clean towel. Pongki nodded and went to the bathroom.

Now, Anna was silent on the sofa and looked out the window of the apartment. Anna knew, and knew, that she was a second wife. Anna also knew from the beginning that Pongki already had a child who was the same age as her. However, Anna really loves Pongki.

Together with Pongki, he felt back the figure of a father who had long disappeared from his life. However, Anna realizes that Pongki does not love her. It wasn't for the treasure and the throne, either, that kept Anna with Pongki up to this point. Anna intends, will spend her old age with Pongki, and she wants, Pongki will die in his arms.

It is Anna's sincere love that makes these two people unable to separate. While feeling pity and guilt, Pongki continues to defend Anna.
