Being sad or sorry is of no use anymore. Now what Santi needs is the support of the husband, because according to Santi only suaminyah who can release him from the treatment of his mother and sister-in-law. Under these circumstances Santi offered to join Agus, her husband. It seems like staying away would be more than having to keep living together and hurting yourself.
Tid!
The sound of the car horn disperse the daydream of Santi .
Santi immediately got up and ran towards the room he remembered with a photo he met earlier this afternoon and seemed to have forgotten not to put it in place again. Soon Santi cleaned everything up, the photo he tucked again in a book that he found.
With a face that was a little mussel because from morning until now had not had time to shower, Santi welcomed Agus' return by widening his smile as if he was fine. Santi did not know that Agus also already knew his mother like that because Agus could guess from the words of his mother who actually never agreed to his marriage.
"Mas, would you like to take a shower if you want to have a coffee first?" bargain Santi on Agus who looks tired lying on the sofa.
"Mas wants to take a shower." Agus answered still lying down and slightly adjusted his breathing.
"I'll get the towel and water ready." Santi.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Agus.
Shut up and look at each other and get busy with their phones. Santi who was still curious about the photo was intending to ask Agus, but Santi was still confused about what kind of words should her husband not be offended or feel bad.
Tightness in his chest for fear of the fact who was in the photo, Santi still did not dare to ask but if left to linger at the end there will be regrets.
"Mas, may I speak to you for a moment. I have something to ask." Santi said hesitantly.
"Dear, what do you want?" Agus answered while approaching Santi and holding his hand.
"I recently found a photo tucked away in a book that I took off the bookshelf, if I may know who the woman in the picture was?" santi asked while looking down embarrassed and afraid of the reality she would hear.
"Which one?" agus asked curiously, because it had been a long time ago Agus never opened the book and Agus also forgot about the photo.
"It's mas!" santi walked to the bookshelf and picked up a book that had a photo in it. Take out the photo and show it to Agus.
"Sorry baby, it's a picture of an ex-mas. He was married long before I knew you, I have not touched the books on the shelf so I also forgot there is a photo of him in the book. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your heart dear" Agus replied explaining everything.
But in Agus' heart there is still a sense in the woman named Zihan, Agus so thought and curious about the news of Zihan now. Before Agus married Santi, Agus got the news that Zihan had long separated from her husband just that Agus did not care much about it, after Santi showed the photo, Agus realized that he still had feelings for Zihan.
Santi was only silent and a little relieved after hearing the explanation from Agus.
The time continued to run Santi who was in a contract with her husband always struggled with homework except Sunday when Agus was at home because Agus came home once a week to see his wife, and then he went home to meet her, then Santi's work is not as heavy as Agus's.
Santi felt disappointed not to be allowed to contract with a less reasonable alesan according to Santi. To complain about the attitude of the mother-in-law and sister-in-law was still not brave. Santi thought that it was okay to be sincere and the household was fine.
Monday as usual Santi was waiting for a mountain of work.
At the office, Agus who was still curious about the news of Zihan continued to search starting from social media to ask back to his friend who at that time had told him that Zihan had separated.
"Hello, Roy. How's things going?" Agus said on a phone that was connected to his good friend, Roy.
"Good, Gus. What's up with Tumben calling?" Roy replied there.
"As for Zihan, there is more news about him" asked Agus curiously.
"Wooh. if about the news I don't know Gus, just just know he's separated no more than that." said Roy was afraid that if he told everything Agus would be more curious about the news of Zihan and Roy was afraid later even make a mess on Agus' new family, Roy knew Agus used to love Zihan so much, he said, it was almost stressful to find out that Zihan had married because of an arranged marriage.
"Oh. How's your wife Gus doing?" Chirper Roy switched the conversation.
"Well." answered Agus briefly and hung up.
The sun felt in the crown this afternoon, Santi could not bear the thirst he immediately ran to the kitchen to take a glass of water.
Glucose.glucose..
A glass of cold water has doused Santi's thirst.
"Here you relax here!" snapped mama-in-law disperse the calm in this hot weather.
"No, Ma. Santi just drink a glass of this also Santi want to immediately pull the front lawn of the house." Answer Santi.
In the yard there is already a lot of wild grass that grows.
"Lho Santi you do this hot-heat like grass, already there clean your body so that later papa takes care of everything, just call the gardener instead you even you who fuss," said papa-in-law surprised Santi who was hot cleaning the yard. Papa-in-law is good unlike the mother-in-law who only considers Santi benalu in her family life.
"Yes, Pa." Answer me directly to the bathroom.
"Ma.. ma... Where's mama?" yelled papa exasperated at having let his son-in-law clean the courtyard in this hot weather.
"Why have you gone home, he said he came home next week when you came home again?" asked the mother-in-law surprised by the return of her husband who arrived.
"Had papa been wanting to make a surprise for papa's return, but what is this surprise. Don't don't be as long as you're not at home mom relies on Santi to settle everything alone. Remember yes ma we also have a daughter, mama does not want if the fate of our daughters made miserable." Said the disappointed father and advised the mother.
"But Dad, Santi does deserve it like that to clean up, after all he's used to this kind of work. Not having an education like Santi where can be a good wife." Mom's answer made me even more angry.
"Give up, Papa cape wants a break!" Said papa while walking towards the room.
