17. Apologies

Pongki stepped inside his room. At that moment he saw Berta who had changed his clothes in pajamas and was cleaning his face in front of the dresser mirror. Pongki looked awkward and sat on the edge of the bed and watched his wife's every move.

"Take care of me, don't divorce me."

Berta looked at Pongki from the reflection of the mirror. He smiled at the man who had been married for 27 years.

"Whatever you ask, I will do. Just so, there's no divorce between us."

Berta looked at Pongki with a sharp gaze, making Pongki's heart tremble withstanding feelings of guilt.

"A lot of you?" Tanya Berta with a face that began to be provoked by emotions.

"I love you so much Berta..."

"Love you said? You love me, but you can marry the obscure woman behind me, just out of pity? Love you fake!"

"Together, I beg you, I'm guilty. I'm sorry. You want me to divorce her? I'm gonna do it. Just so, don't ever divorce me," Pongki hugged Berta with a face that looked very clear.

Berta brushed off Pongki's hand and pushed the man into bed.

"No apology for the betrayal!" Jerky Berta.

"Take me please..." Pongki got up from the bed and hugged both of Berta's legs.

"For God's sake, I have no intention of betraying you. In fact, even married to her, I didn't touch her" Pongki said as she endured her regretful cries.

"But, now you've touched him right? It turns out I've been sleeping with someone else's ex!"

Pongki fell silent, tears of regret began to flow down his cheeks.

"By baby, I'm sorry." Pongki tightened his embrace at Berta's feet.

Berta tried to escape from Pongki. However, as with any attempt to escape, Pongki flinched, he continued to hug his wife's feet.

"Pongki, get out of front of me."

"No, before you forgive me."

"Pongki.. I'm tired.I want to sleep," said Berta again.

Pongki let go of his coiled hand at Berta's feet. Then, with a lethargic face he looked at Berta who was ignoring him, and went to sleep on the bed. Pongki could only follow Berta who had covered her body with a thick blanket on the bed.

"Take..."

Berta flinched, he kept his back on Pongki.

"And whatever it is, I won't divorce you." Pongki. Then Pongki got out of bed and intended to leave the family room.

"What did you say! Your egoism!" Said Berta who seemed to return emotions with her husband.

"I'm going to divorce Anna, I promise. I will never part with you. I wouldn't be able to live without you Berta" Pongki said with a face of despair.

"I can't live without me, but you betrayed me. Foul your speech Pongki," said Berta while smiling cynically.

"Whatever, whatever you say. I'll never give up on the needs of our household."

Berta was speechless, he could only stare at the back of Pongki who had left their room.

"Aaaarghhhhhhhg..! Bastardsnnnnnnn..!" Pekik Berta while slamming his pillow to the floor. Then she cried in the wound she was feeling.

.

Pongki moved to the family room. He sat on the sofa with a very agitated face. Right now, he really feels alone. He felt very weak, because his son and wife now hated him very much.

Pongki grew increasingly agitated, he got up from the sofa and rushed towards the front porch of his house. He saw his bodyguards standing guard. It feels, he really wants to attract one of his bodyguards to tell him about the household problems he is facing. But there is shame there.

All this time, no one knew, how fragile Pongki was. No one realizes that he is in a dilemma. Pongki always perform with stunning and full of charisma. Who would have thought, he was just an ordinary man who needed a friend to talk at a time like this. All this time, he never got a single person who was nice for him to talk to.

Suddenly, Pongki remembered someone. He was Paijo, an innocent and jolly village man. Incidentally, Paijo was the only person who knew of his family problems. Pongki hurried to Paijo's room. He was eager to talk to Paijo and needed a good listener tonight.

...

The cyclone was busy communicating with his team, hearing a knock from outside his bedroom door. He immediately ended his communication with his team and rushed to peek from behind his bedroom window. How surprised the Typhoon, when he found out the man who knocked on the door of his room was Pongki.

Typhoon had felt alert, there is a possibility if the disguise he was doing was exposed. Therefore, Pongki came to himself to the room he occupied. However, Typhoon reaffirmed, with whom Pongki came to his room. Apparently, Pongki came alone. Quite confusing for Typhoons. He tried to stay ordinary and opened the door to his room.

Pongki looked on with a restless face, staring at Typhoon with a faint smile, as Typhoon opened the door of his room.

"Eh, sir boss," said Typhoon in his Paijo style that looks wrong.

"Not sleeping you Jo?"

"Not yet sir,"

"Why? Can I come in?"

Deggg...!

As if the typhoon had misheard, he could not believe Pongki asking permission to enter his room.

"Sorry boss, come in?" Typhoon asked to confirm if he did not hear Pongki's words wrongly.

"Yes, can you?"

"Bo-bo-can the boss," said Typhoon, opening the door to his room wide.

Pongki moved in, after she opened her sandals and left her in front of the door of Typhoon's room.

"Where's Jo, the room is comfortable?" Pongki asked in pleasantries, as he stepped inside the Typhoon's room.

"Alhamdulillah, boss, the room is amazing. There's ac, the bathroom's inside, it's cool and I feel sniffy in a fancy place sir!" Torn the Typhoon excitedly.

Pongki smiled at the speech and saw the Typhoon's facial expression.

"Thank God" he said.

"If it's comfortable, why haven't you slept Jo?" Ask Pongki again.

Typhoon smiled and thought the reason was right for Pongki.

"Any boss, my parents just called me. Asking my news is that sir boss, "Light of the Typhoon.

"Oh... I guess why." Pongki smiled and looked around the Typhoon room. Then the atmosphere became quiet.

"Well, boss himself hasn't slept?"

"I?"

"Yes boss, sir" said Typhoon, smiling shyly.

"I just need a friend. Is it okay if I'm here?"

"Oh, no problem boss." Said Typhoon, inviting Pongki to sit on his bed. However, Pongki prefers to sit on the floor of the room while straightening his old legs that begin to feel sore.

"Loh.loh.loh..loh. It's dirty sir, meningan dad just sit on the bed," said Typhoon in panic.

"It's okay, I'm just here." Pongki said with a smile and grabbed a pack of cigarettes belonging to Typhoon.

"I asked for yes" Pongki said.

The cyclone smiled and nodded quickly.

"Hmmm, Jo," Call Pongki, after he burns a cigarette he took from inside a pack of cigarettes belonging to Typhoon.

"Yes, boss?" Surround the Typhoon awkwardly.

"Make me two cups of coffee. One for you, one for me. Accompany me tonight Jo," Pinta Pongki.

Typhoon was stunned for a moment and looked at Pongki with a pityful look. He knew very well, what Pongki was facing was not a small problem. No matter how much power a man has, if he has a problem with a woman he loves, he will definitely feel depressed. Didn't they?
