My Love Springed Out of Compulsion

Angrier

After Mr. Mahendra gave a picture of his wife who was alone with another man, Mr. Joseph's heart was not calm.

"Mother why, are you sick? I see the father seems limp and not passionate about work," asked Budi who is a co-worker of Mr. Yusuf.

"I'm okay, just a little tired," replied Mr. Joseph lying.

"Obviously, if you're over forty-five, you're usually tired. Because of the rain on the cold, the wind gets a little wind," said Mr. Budi explained.

"That's what sir is. The older the more the disease," said Mr. Yusuf with a smile.

"How old are you now" asked Budi wanted to know.

"A month ago it was forty-nine years" answered Joseph.

"We are different, sir. I will be forty-nine next month" Mr. Budi explained.

"It does not feel like we are old, yes" said Mr. Joseph again.

"It looks like just last night we work here, sir," asked Budi again.

"Yes, sir, I remember my first time working here. At that time Mr. Mahendra's son Zio was still a child, about three years. On Saturdays, Zio always follows his papa at work. At ten his wife picked him up. When invited home, Zio always cry not to go home," said Mr. Yusuf.

"Yes.., I also remember the little Zio. She's cingeng like a girl. It was just crying," said Mr. Budi with a smile.

Then they laugh. Senda joked Mr. Budi to make Mr. Yusuf can forget his sadness for a while.

When the working hours are over, Mr. Yusuf hasten to hurry home.

Arriving at home, he saw Sahira had reached home.

"You have been home for a long time, Ra" asked Joseph to his son Sahira.

"Former, yes" Sahira answered while kissing her father's hand who had just returned from work.

"Which mother Ra." asked Mr. Yusuf to Sahira.

"Don't know yeah. Hira came home from work and she was no longer home" replied Sahira.

Then Joseph tried to call his wife, but her phone was not active.

With an angry face, Mr. Joseph immediately entered his room.

Towards the magrib, Rangga's mother, the wife of Joseph, had just returned home.

After dinner, Mr. Yusuf immediately asked about the photo.

"Where did you go last night and with whom!" ask Joseph her husband.

"When I left last night, I told you, we went to see a sick friend with another friend. So it means going with some people," replied Miss Rangga lying.

"Didn't you go alone with men!" ask Joseph again.

"Why do you accuse me of that. I can't believe it anymore!!!" replied madam Rangga.

Then Mr. Yusuf dumped a photo of the togetherness of Miss Rangga with her lover.

"This is what...you still want to dodge too!" said Mr. Yusuf while throwing the photo in front of him.

Then Miss Rangga was silent for a while after seeing the photo.

"Now the age is sophisticated. Photos like this can be made by people. This is a photo editan. So do not easily believe in photos like this," said Miss Rangga explained.

"You think I can just trust you with your words. I can also tell which ones are edits and which ones are not" replied Joseph again.

"It's up to you if you don't believe me" replied Miss Rangga again.

Sahira who heard his father's talk felt very sad. Poor dad always underestimated mom.

***

As usual, it is still seven o'clock less Mr. Joseph has gone to work. Sahira left for work at seven o'clock.

After Mr. Yusuf left for work, then Rangga called Sahira.

"Sahira. Someone wants you to ask," said the mother to Sahira who was still in her room at the time.

"What a bun," Sahira asked as she exited her room.

"Who gave your father a picture!" ask Miss Rangga.

"Who.... Hira did not know bun," replied Sahira astonished.

"There's no way you don't know. You must know," replied Miss Rangga ketus.

"Certainly bun.... Hira did not know about the mother's photo," replied Sahira firmly.

"Let you know Ra. It could be that there are people who do not like the mother so that it slanders the mother by sending the photo to your father," said Rangga lied.

He deliberately talked like that to attract Sahira's sympathy for Sahira to believe his talk. It was as if it was not the mother.

***

After Sahira left for work, Rangga's mother immediately called her affair. He invited the man to meet, but not in a place last night but somewhere else.

"We meet now, Mas. There's something I'm gonna talk about. Address I'll send. Anyway I wait yes," said Miss Rangga to her lover when calling.

"Why not in an ordinary place?" ask the man on his phone.

"Let me tell you everything" replied Miss Rangga on her phone.

***

"Good morning dear.." said Arfi upon arriving at the office.

"Morning as well..," replied Sahira cuek.

"Sorry baby, last night I forgot to make a promise to you" Arfi said as he approached Sahira.

"It's okay, I'm used to going anywhere myself. So that's normal" Sahira said again.

During lunch break, Sahira and Dinda go to the cafeteria. Afika and Airin are still in their workspace.

"Mbak.. there is something I want to say, you know," Afika told Airin.

"About what you're." asked Airin.

"About Sahira" Afika said.

"Why Sahira?" ask Airin curiously.

"The night that Tomi was going to my house, he passed by Arfi. Mas Arfi is piggybacking on girls but not Sahira. The girl held Arfi's waist tight. It's like a pscaran" Afika explained to Airin.

"Later Tomi you've seen Ka wrong. It could have been the same face" said Airin.

"No loh. Tomi has often met Sahira, so it is impossible to see wrong" said Afika again.

"If it's true, then it's a pity for Sahira. Duaed by Arfi mas," said Airin sadly.

Airin and Sahira are very compact. Since Airin married and contracted for a house near Sahira's house, they have always been compact. Go and go home to work together. Sahira also often plays to Airin's house. Poor Sahira yes, inner Airin in heart.
