Neighbors Don't Know Themselves

The Part 7 Doni

After I finished praying, I headed to the dining room, but I could not see my wife there. While the food I had bought before I came home, it was on the table, complete with rice and fruits.

"Miss.. Neng.." call me after I don't find my wife anywhere. The guest room, the bathroom, the clothesline in the back, but there was no sign of my wife being there.

"Where is Neng tea?" I muttered to myself.

Just about to open the front door, my wife came.

"Neng from where?" I wonder, usually after magrib my wife never came out again unless there is a need. It was never far, most to the mother's shop.

"So Akang searched for it." but my wife remained silent. His face looked stiff, complete with puffy eyes that from earlier made me curious. But as her husband, I understand. This kind of expression is usually shown by my wife when she is really irritated. Butwhy?

"Eat first yuk Neng, Akang hungry. He said he wanted to tell me if I ate?" Invite me while you want to hold his hand warmly. But before arriving, my hand was immediately brushed aside violently.

"Anybody eats by himself. I'm not hungry.!" He said as he passed into the room, not forgetting to slam the door.

I was alone staggering at the door wondering what was my fault?

"Miss... Why tea neng? Try telling Akang, what makes Neng angry rich gini?" I asked gently after following her to the room. He lay facing the wall, ignoring me even though I rubbed his back many times.

"Miss..."

.........

"Miss..."

.........

He turned around violently, then looked at me sharply with tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Do you feel wrong, right? Could it be that Akang is the same as me, what am I lacking Kang?" My wife growled furiously, her voice sounding hoarse as if stuck in the throat.

Usually if my wife has talked about herself with my word, it means she is really angry. Butwhy??

"What's wrong? Try Neng to talk slowly let Akang understand." I'm still trying to persuade him.

"Look, there's a WA who's on your device, if you still feel you don't have anything wrong, then you don't have a heart.!" Said again.

Ye? Okay.. Means it has increased at the 'awas' stage, the highest level in a disaster. Soon my wife will be 'erupture' whose 'lahar' anger can even make me 'flee' to the guest room for days.

Hurry up I pick up the device on the tv table that I put down after work. When I typed in the password, there were some asterisks that used to be our wedding date numbers that my wife also knew. As soon as the screen opened, how shocked I was because I went straight into the WA app conversation with the message that it contained..

[Assalamualaikum A Doni, this is Mira]

[Have you come home from work yet?]

[You haven't, could you please pick up Mira at the place we met yesterday?]

[Mira wants to be shabby, you know..... ]

I didn't read it all because I wasn't interested anymore. Then I brought the device back to the room. It was as if my wife was sitting with her knees folded up to her chin, and her face was lying there.

"Neng, Akang can explain." I said as I approached, I suddenly felt nervous for some reason. Meanwhile, guilt suddenly came to ambush.

"Udah, there is no need for anything to be explained. Everything is clear." answered my wife softly

"What have I been thinking about all this time?" He stared madly at me "I thought you were faithful. but it turns out.."

His problem really hit the chest without cue, he who was without the form suddenly made the heart so painful. The tightness that gripped inside could no longer be explained in words.

"Neng.." That's all I can say, I can no longer find the right word to explain the situation we are currently experiencing.

"Udah Kang, Akang come out, I want to be alone." said my wife again while lying against the wall, turning her back on me who did not know what else to do.

4 Days ago..

While I was at work, the receptionist suddenly called me, telling me if anyone wanted to meet. Soon I left the files and headed to the lobby where the guest was waiting. I did not expect, it turns out that Tea Mira was there, with moist eyes. At that time I had no thoughts, just a little wonder and surprise, why did he even meet me at work?

"Oh, kirain who?" Sapaku while sitting on the chair facing him. Our distance is only separate table. "What's the tea?" Ask again.

"I'm sorry A if Mira is disturbed." he said "actually Mira belain came here, want to ask for help with A Doni..." He looked down, like he was sorting out the right words to say to me. While in my heart I was astonished, why did he only mention names? Isn't our age far enough?

"Well, what will tea do for you?"

"Can't A Doni pinjemin Mira money, a million aja. Mira there is a need for urgent. Mira had called A Iwan asking for a transfer, but he said now he did not exist. Later A Iwan transfer, directly Mira back in the money.." he looked at me expectantly.

Frankly, I was confused at the time. Didn't they have a big fight yesterday? But what I know, A Iwan did go immediately to bring a big bag when the pot was witnessed by RT RW and his brother was done.

"There's Tea" somehow I feel pity, maybe Mira Tea really needs it so dare to meet me here too.. "Ask the account number oruh, now I transfer via E-banking."

While saying thank you many times, he mentioned the account number that I just type in my salary, do not forget I also type the nominal money before pressing the transfer button.

"Udah Teh, success huh?" I said while showing the screen.

"Yes A, thank you very much for nolongin Mira. But A...." he paused for a moment, "kalo can not let.Citra know well, fear it will be misunderstood. Later if there is money to pay, Mira said" he said again before saying goodbye.

Without any strange thoughts, I would.

Then when I came home, I accidentally met again with Teh Mira on the road to the compound where we live. Actually from a distance, Mira Tea looks like it is waiting for someone, or is it waiting for me? Because when he saw my bike, he immediately stood up while smiling. Not to mention I clapped the bike, he was already waving asking me to stop.

"A Doni.." he said sounding happy.

I let him ride in the back seat. Again, with no thought whatsoever but to give a ride to the neighbors. That's all it is. After arriving, I dropped it off right in front of his house next to mine.

The night before going to bed, my wife was acting strangely. Without any wind without any rain, he suddenly sprayed the Mira Tea for no reason. Is this what is called the sharp intuition of the woman? Just meeting and going home together with no intention, the signal's been caught on my wife's radar. Especially if I have bad intentions?

Stupid me, why didn't I tell you what happened when my wife was sulking at that very moment? Although I did not intend to hide anything, at least my wife would not misunderstand as now.

I'm really sorry. Will it be later when I explain everything, that he will believe? I don't know...

While I was contemplating that, I heard my gauntlet ringing. Seen on the screen, unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hello A Doni..."

"This is Mira Tea? Can we meet?"
