22. Give me a second

Ting! The keg! Ting! The keg! Ting! The keg!

Like a man of infidelity, Bella kept pushing down Frans' apartment bell.

Ting! The keg! Ting! The keg! Ting! The keg!

How many times, Bella pressed the button, no one opened the door of the apartment. Bella looks angry and tries many times to contact her lover. The same thing he received, Frans' phone was not active.

Bella snorted angrily, she knocked on the door of the apartment, causing a commotion and disturbing neighbors who lived around Frans' apartment.

"Woiii mbak, noisy tau!" Said a resident who looked up from the door of his apartment.

"Sorry mas" said Bella.

Bella stopped knocking on Frans' apartment door. Then, he decided to return to the parking lot, where the Typhoon stood with a cigarette, waiting for him.

Typhoon looked at Bella who had just emerged from the apartment lobby with a worried and upset face at once. With a shaky step, Bella walked closer to the Typhoon.

"Go home" Bella said.

Typhoon just nodded and turned off his cigarette with the heel of his shoe.

Typhoon opens car door for Bella. Then, the girl moved in and sat in the passenger seat uneasily. After that, Typhoon followed in and sat behind his wheel.

The typhoon started the engine of his car speechlessly. She knew Bella's mood wasn't good. And Typhoon was thinking about how to get home quickly, in a very jammed road condition, to keep his promise to Berta, who asked him to deliver to the Mall.

..

Berta was already preparing to go to the Mall along with Bella and Typhoon. She has been wearing a white casual dress, as well as simple makeup. Then, she sprayed perfume on her body and after that, she grabbed her handbag that she had prepared on her dresser. Berta stepped out of his room. Then, he walked towards the exit of the house.

In the living room, Pongki was sitting quietly accompanied by a cold cup of coffee. Pongki glanced at Berta who looked indifferent to him.

"Where are you going?" Pongki asked, moving away from her seat.

Just shut up, he continued to step towards the exit.

"Take it.."Call her.

Berta flinched when he heard Pongki calling himself.

Pongki stepped closer to Berta and looked at his wife closely.

"Where are you beautiful?" Ask her again.

Berta looked at Pongki and smiled cynically.

"It's none of your business" said Berta, then he stepped back towards the exit.

"Together, you can't go out." Pongki.

"Why? What's your business?" Ask Berta with a wrinkle on her forehead.

"Because you're my wife and I won't let you go."

"I'm going to the Mall..! Not allowed?" Ask Berta.

"Oh to the Mall, I'll take you.."

"So!"

"Yes already, can't go out" Pongki said.

"Silk!" Jerky Berta.

"It's not selfish, I'm afraid if you..."

"What's? When I what? Cheating like you?" Berta's Cecar.

Pongki was silent.

"Pongki, remember! I've never cheated on you all this time. Don't equate me with you. I went along with Bella and Paijo!" Berta said, then he stepped into the courtyard of the house and called Paijo with a loud voice, without being prevented by Pongki.

Pongki's mistake made him unable to say wrong and act on his own wife. That makes him continue to feel guilty about his own stupidity. However, even so, Pongki realized and accepted all of Berta's treatment of him. Because, it was impossible for the wound to heal directly in Berta's heart. He can only hope, gradually, Berta's attitude will return to his original self.

"Sorry madam, Paijo and non Bella are not back yet" the bodyguard said.

Berta let out a long sigh and looked' upset at Paijo and Bella.

"Yes, there goes back to the post" Berta said.

Then, Berta went back inside the house and stepped towards his room.

Seeing Berta return, Pongki followed to their room.

"Not going?" Ask Pongki.

Berta flinched, he just sat quietly on the bed, without looking at Pongki in the slightest.

"Paijo and Bella haven't come home yet?" Ask Pongki again.

Berta remained unmoved. He shut his mouth tightly and assumed Pongki was not in front of him.

Pongki crouched down on the edge of the bed and grabbed Berta's hand. Quickly, Berta brushed off Pongki's hand intending to hold his hand.

Pongki was silent, he let out a long sigh. He looked at his wife who was still angry with him.

"Together. I love you so much..."

"Shut up. If there's no evidence, don't talk" Berta said.

"Why do I prove it? I speak for what is to you. I know I was wrong..."

"Shut up!" Jerk Berta who now his eyes began to turn red withhold anger.

Pongki sat on the floor, leaning his back at the foot of the bed. Pongki rubbed his face with a huff and began to sob.

"I know I was wrong Berta. If you knew why I got to Anna's village. I'm avoiding the police's suspicions. That's why, three years ago, we moved here. Because I don't want to, you know I'm facing a legal case. Kaku and Bella I got here. So I bought this house and didn't let anyone in. That's why I wear two gates in this house" Pongki said.

Berta frowned, he was surprised if Pongki ever suspected the police.

"Suspicious police? Why?" Tanya Berta who never knew Pongki's illegal business.

"Have you never realized, why are we getting rich so fast?"

Deggg...! Berta was silent.

"To marry you, I'm in Berta's drug business. To qualify from your parents who demand me, to be rich to deserve your company. All I did, just to get you, my angel..."

Berta was flabbergasted in disbelief.

"All I do to be "Worthy" with you. Convince your parents, if I don't take you to Berta's poverty." Connect Pongki.

"So.. his other business?" Ask Berta.

"Business does exist. But the capital of all the illicit goods was Berta. I was tired too, I wanted to stop and just go through the business. But I'm so hard out of that business Berta!"

Berta was getting worse hearing it all.

"Three years ago, I was always the target of law enforcement. Lucky I could always get away. I said I was abroad, so they wouldn't come home and tell you everything. And so, before I leave, I'll keep you here. That's why, I forbid you to bring any of the things that were in the old house. Then, I don't know why I chose the village, until I have to meet Anna."

"I know, I'm a fool, I just want to marry him. But, if I can be honest, I don't have the slightest heart with Anna. Not one bit, even though she is young and beautiful. I don't love him. Not just an impingement of lust, I actually survive with her because I pity her. He's an orphan. He's just me Berta.... He only knows me as his savior. He's so innocent and kind. But still, I only love you one. That's why, I'm willing to let go of him without a heavy heart, and defend you" Pongki explained.

Berta was silent, his tongue felt faint. Only the tears flowing down her cheeks had started to age.

"I'm sorry I won't let you go, whatever the reason. I'm leaving that illegal business. I promise you, I'll always be by your side forever."

"Mamiii.... Mami..."

The sound of Bella's voice and footsteps approached.

"Yes.." Berta said, wiping away her tears. Then, he got up from his seat and rushed to meet Bella who was behind the door of his room.

"Take..." Call Pongki.

"Give me time" said Berta, opening the door and leaving Pongki alone.
