My Inline Husband

Chapter 23

Angggi POVs

When I've put my heart to a man. Why did the man even make the heart flung down into the bottom of the deepest abyss?

I still remember when she declared her love, when she promised to protect me and be my future. I trust her. It can't be denied I'm in love with him too.

And yet I'm so stupid... I'm a fool because I've believed those words. Do you know how this heart is shaped? This heart is shapeless.

My husband's words were still ringing in my ears. He was so mean to me. I was fooled by a man younger than me.

My heart hurts, it hurts so much. Until I shed my cry in the taxi I told you to wait for me. I don't care anymore about the taxi driver's pity stare from the rearview in the car.

I saw that magnificent building again. There was no sign of my husband chasing me. The more broken this heart. My husband has now become the husband of another woman.

Unable to accept all these facts, in between my tears I told the taxi driver to drive me to the rented house. I have to get out of there. I can no longer live under one roof with a man who has hurt me so much. Marcell was just playing me, he was playing this wedding.

Shortly after, I finally arrived at the rented house.

"Thank you, sir." I said as I gave the taxi money. But the father did not want to accept it, making me feel sad.

I know for a fact in the eyes of the cabbie, I was so pathetic that he wouldn't accept the payment. I could see it from the eyes of the father.

"Non, you better keep the money. I'm sincere about nganterin, Non."

Very kind of father. He must have loved his family so much. I finally saved the money I gave you and thanked him.

After that I entered the rented house which became a silent witness of my married life and also Marcell who was so short.

At first I thought that my household would be happy forever. But it turns out everything has been cracked. Maybe Marcell dumped me because I don't have anything in the world anymore.

Marcell must have married that girl because she was so beautiful and also such a person. It is obvious from how great the wedding was.

From now on I should be able to raise our future son. Oh, naw. My kid. Yeah, just my son. Marcell must have thought this kid was a mistake. Evidently now he threw us away. Be patient, Son. Your papa has thrown us away. Mama will protect you.

After I finished packing it all up, I called someone I haven't called in a long time. Karin and Sena.

But I'm afraid they'll be mad at me. I changed my number and didn't tell them. Even yesterday when Papa died, I didn't tell them. I am such a wicked friend.

Actually I hid everything from my friends because I was afraid they would scold me for I got married without telling them.

I tried to contact Sena. Connected calls. "Hello, who is this?" ask Sena's voice. I'm still silent. L'm... I fear.

"Who the hell! Just go for it." Sena's like gonna turn off the call. I also immediately spoke out calling his name.

"Miss...."

Call unbroken. A few seconds of silence. "Pig? This is really you, isn't it Nggie? It's Anggi, right?" Sena's voice seemed curious.

"L-yes...."

"Geez Nggie, where have you been? Karin and I are looking for you everywhere? I'm going to your house. But your house has a letter on sale. I asked your neighbors too. He said Uncle Gibran has...."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you and Karin." I'm back sobbing.

"Nggie, are you okay, right? Where are you now, let Me be the same Karin pick you up," said Sena. But I'm getting sobbing. I'm moved. My best friend cares about me so much.

I immediately gave Sena my contract address. He told me to wait for him and Karin. Then we ended the call.

I still don't think my life would fall apart like this. Losing Papa, Papa's assets, also in living husband remarried. I feel like I have no meaning in living in this world.
