MY POOR HUSBAND WAS SEIZED BY THE PERJOR TAJIR

CHAPTER 11

"Dek, let's learn to drive Adek's car, it's been almost a week the car has not been touched" said Mas Randi when we were having breakfast. I have no intention of wearing it yet. I don't know why I feel so lazy.

"Let's take you to the store. Let Mas know to the employees that Adek is now the owner of the store" continued Mas Randi.

"Good Mas. I get ready first huh" I replied languidly as I got up from the chair.

Once ready, the kids get into the middle of the car. Actually I can drive a car but it was a long time ago about nine years ago, unmarried time. Wear your old car.

I've been sitting on the steering wheel, Mas Randi on the passenger bench next to me.

I started the engine and ran it slowly. I still remember. Just a little stiff controlling the steering wheel.

After walking for about a kilometer my hand had started to cunning.

We're heading to Ririn's gift shop downtown. Wholesale store adult clothes and children's clothes, two floors.

Wow, I was amazed to see the shop. I never thought I could have such a big store.

Mas Randi took me around, with the kids too. Introducing me to the employees. Take it to my room, said Mas Randi this was Ririn's room. I smiled wryly. I remember what happened to Mas Randi with Ririn, is this room? I don't know.

After that we went to my mother's house. I'm still driving my car.

My mother greeted us with surprise. My mom was so happy when I said this was Mas Randi's car, Mas Randi now has a big store.

I had to lie to my mother. I don't want my family to know about my domestic conflicts. I'll keep it tight.

By late afternoon I was going home with Mas Randi, the children were staying at his Grandpa's house.

*****

The next day, Mas Randi said he would buy a dowry with Ririn, the wedding in less than a week. Though I want to take Mas Randi shopping monthly. But I had to give up.

With a heavy heart I let go Mas Randi went to meet Ririn. This is how it feels to share a husband. Still sharing with honey candidates.

I drove my car to a mall. I finally went shopping alone.

When entering the parking lot, it looks in line. I accidentally saw Mas Randi and Ririn walking from the parking lot to the mall door. Ririn holding the hand of Mas Randi. But Mas Randi's hand didn't return the favor.

Instantly my heart was hot, painful, sick. Oh my God, this is how jealous it feels. Jealous of seeing my husband with my honeymooners.

I closed my eyes. Like dream. Nightmares. But it's real. I opened my eyes. They are no longer visible.

I decided not to go shopping. I turned my car towards the highway.

I drove my vehicle slowly without a purpose. My mind is not new. My heart ached and broke into pieces.

As soon as I lost control, my car headed left, then hit a tree. I was shocked and my heart was beating. I felt pain in my head and in my stomach. So hurt.

I lyric around already crowded citizens surround my car. I pushed the button to open the door. After that my head was heavy and for a while my vision blurred. Then dark.

*****

When I realized I was in the hospital bed. Mas Randi was asleep sitting next to my bed. His hand held my hand. I turned my gaze around, looking as if Ririn was asleep on the sofa. Ririns. Why is it here? Don't you know how my heart can't see you with Mas Randi.

"Dek, you've woken up baby" said Mas Randi surprised me who was busy thinking about Ririn. Mas Randi kissed my hand.

I looked at Mas Randi. His face was full of worry.

"This morning the accident. Adek car hit a tree, Adek if still stiff bring his car, ask Mas if you want to go anywhere" explained Mas Randi.

"Especially now Adek is pregnant with our third child. Why didn't you tell Mas that Adek was pregnant?" Mas Randi said sparkling.

Huh! I pregnant? Did ya? I just remember it's been almost two months I haven't come by the moon. I forgot to do one monthly KB injection. Ah maybe because lately I've had a lot of thoughts until I forgot.

"I'm pregnant?" Ask surprised.

"Yes Dear. Guarded yes our third child candidate" said Mas Randi stroked my stomach.

I'm speechless.

"Sorry Deck. Ririn maksa nemenin in hospital. Mas already forbid it" Mas Randi replied like he felt bad.

"Yes no papa" I replied flatly.

"Dek Ririn, go home. It's night. Let Mas take care of Rika" said Mas Randi smooth to Ririn.

Ririn nodded. Then take the bag and waltz out.

*****

My pregnancy was 13 weeks old. I never thought I'd get pregnant again. But I am thankful that God gave me the trust of a third child. Mas Randi often kissed my stomach and talked to our future children.

It was a lucky accident that I was driving a car at a low speed so I didn't have any injuries. Just having a little stomach cramp. Just one night in hospital I've been allowed to go home. The car was just a little bit scratched by a tree.

My pregnancy did not feel nausea at all, in stark contrast to the pregnancy of her two sisters. I just feel a little dizzy at certain times. But my obstetrician said weakly. I've had flecks several times. I was given a booster drug. May my child be healthy until birth without any lack of anything.

*****

Tomorrow is the day I least wait for. Yes, tomorrow is Mas Randi and Ririn's wedding day.

I decided not to come again. I certainly couldn't watch my husband standing with the other woman in front of me. Just imagine it my heart is crowded let alone witness directly.

I wasn't sure I'd be strong enough to put my feet up with my body if I came along. Fear of unwanted things happening.

I can't sleep tonight. Mas Randi was sleeping hugging me tightly, so I had trouble breathing.

Tomorrow Mas Randi does not come home for three days. Of course at Ririn's house.

For eight more years we were married never once did Mas Randi not sleep with me. We always slept together. If I fall asleep in the children's room, Mas Randi will follow. Tomorrow's the first time Mas Randi didn't sleep together. Can I sleep without it?

*****

At six o'clock in the morning Mas Randi was ready to leave for his wedding, wearing a shirt. Mas Randi said, Ririn had prepared clothes for the meeting there. Mas Randi will pick up his family first just like at the time of the application. Then to the hotel where their event is. Marriage at nine. Continue the wedding reception at ten o'clock.

"Dec, Mas's leaving. A sincere adek yes dear.. Later that night I will not be home. Mas came home on Wednesday morning, Adek if afraid to sleep alone, Adek nginap at Mother's house only yes" said Mas Randi.

"Yes Mas. I'm going to Mom's house. The kids were there for two days. I want to stay there too" I replied softly.

Mas Randi hugged me, kissed me many times. Kissing my flat stomach and stroking it. I saw her eyes look sad, puffy, like she was crying. Mas Randi was like a heavy stepping out of the house. Mas Randi looked at me a long time ago. I pretended to be tough. I smiled at Mas Randi.

"Already Mas. Cepet. The noon hunt" I said, holding his hand to get out of the house. I kissed the back of his hand. Then Mas Randi walked to his car. Not long after the car walks out the fence and disappears at the turn.

Then I went into the house. My heart cannot be described anymore. Maybe my heart is no longer shaped. Crushed.

I'm getting ready to go out. I want to be alone. Enjoying solitude. My destination is the beach. I want to enjoy the soothing sound of the waves and the soothing breeze of the sea.

I drive my car at low speed. I always remember my son-in-law. I'm very careful now.

At eight I reached the beach where I was going. I walked slowly down the beach. Walk in a wide stretch of sand.

Now at nine o'clock, Mas Randi must be reciting a sacred pledge, just like when he was eight years ago with me. But not with me this time. With my Mad brother. Ririns.

I can't be sad! Can't! I have to be strong. For the sake of the children, for the sake of my future son. Was I not the one who allowed it and decided to choose this path.

I sat all day on the beach. Pensively. Lamenting fate. Why should I lament? Aren't I trying. If I can't do it, I'll let go. This is just the beginning.

*****

It's getting dark. I decided to go home, to Mom's. I miss my kids.

I slept alone and cold tonight. My husband was enjoying his first night with my middle brother. And I also enjoyed my first night without my husband by my side.
