Noctah Black Marriage

Uncovered

❤️❤️❤️

“What?” Mama-papa compact gaping.

Why did Li know that I wasn't pregnant? Why didn't he ask me first for confirmation? Why should I say it to Papa-mama? Not usually, he was not this understanding.

After expressing his feelings and after opening my secret just like that, I did not seem to know him as Li's figure all along.

“Iya, Pah-Mah, Salma is not pregnant,” Li Chen's birthday.

Aish, how presumptuous of him. Really makes me feel cornered.

“Salma, tell me what Li said is right?” ask Papa.

I just fell silent. Confused as to how?

“Honest, Sal! After all, they are your parents,” urged Li.

I threw out his hand which still grabbed this hand. “Yes. Salma is not pregnant,”, I said at the end.

Don't ask me what it's like to be mad at Li Chen! Don't expect everything to stay the same.

“Oh mygod, look at Mah, our son! Until dare to cheat.” Papa said while holding his chest that suddenly hurt.

“Pah, forgive Salma, really,” I regret.

Mama asked my dad to sit back on the couch. I really didn't expect papa's reaction to go to such pain. Is lying to a child so pathetic? Please understand the position of your son, Pah, Mah ….

“Salma, give me a reason! Why do you have to deceive us?” 

“Mah, forgive Salma.” Salt water starts to pool at the corner of the eye. 

I also told him why he lied. At first, I was just trying to lie to Hans. So that he leaves his pregnant mistress. I just want to avenge all the pain they've caused.

“That means our hunch is right, Pah. Our son was hurt by Hans,” said the mother while sobbing.

“Salma, divorce!” tell papa by still holding his chest.

“Pah, Salma still wants to be with Hans. He's changed. Papa-mama can see for himself ‘kan how to treat? He is persistent at work, he is also patient in the face of the fussiness of Salma.”

I tried to defend and convince, though I knew it might be in vain. Their dislike would increase to Hans.

“Isn't he just for the sake of the child in your womb? Try if you know the truth, maybe you've been left.”

I'm silent again. What my mother said was true. Hans changed after hearing I was pregnant. He wanted the presence of a child. I never imagined that this lie would be revealed.

However, after receiving her sweet treatment, I did not willingly part from her. The more I deny this feeling, the more it feels incarnate. Difficult to avoid.

“Sal, we all love you. We don't want to see you get hurt.” Li spoke up.

“Silence, Li! You don't interfere in my personal affairs. This is not your domain!” reply fierce.

“Sal, will there never be a chance for me to be with you more than just a friend or co-worker?”

“What is still unclear? Should I tell you to understand?”

“You will always prefer Hans?”

“Yes. Hans will always be my choice. But now he has changed. Please do not diminish our happiness. Don't forget, I've officially resigned. You better not look for reasons to see me again,” I explained long and loud.

“Sorry, if I made you uncomfortable. But, can we still be friends as usual? I promise I won't burden you for my feelings.”

“Have you not noticed it yet? Now everything is no longer the same.”

“Are you sure you're happy with Hans?”

“Of course. I think everyone's been in a state of caliphate, including Hans. Most importantly, he is trying to fix everything. Why not, if I give you a second chance?”

“Hopefully Hans is completely conscious and will not repeat it again.”

“Yes, it's good that you pray,” ketusku.

“Salma, look at Papa! Pah ... You why?” yelled mama hysterically when she saw the condition of the increasingly grimacing papa withstanding pain.

“Pah, Papa why?” manya panic.

“Allahu akbar,” exclaimed papa while continuing to hold his chest and increasingly ducking in pain. His breath was breathless, hunting for oxygen which seemed to be getting further away. 

“Let's take Papa to the Hospital only,” suggested Li.

He swiftly pushed Papa towards the car. Fortunately, there was a private hospital not far from where I lived. Upon arrival, he was immediately rushed to the IGD room and given action by the medical team.

Me, Mama, also Li waited anxiously. Hope papa isn't okay. Inwardly continue to pray endlessly while continuing to calm mama. 

“All will be well, Mah,” I said as I hugged him.

Not long after, the doctor who handled papa called the patient's family. Thankfully, as we approached, papa was already looking stable with the help of an oxygen mask. Mama asked what really happened to her beloved husband?

Complaints experienced in addition to shortness of breath, namely, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, sleep disturbances, trembling, palpitations and chest pain.

If this complaint is felt again by the father repeatedly, it is advisable to do further examination to a mental specialist. Temporary actions that you must do are, overcome stress, get enough rest, avoid fatigue, drink enough water, eat nutritious, positive thinking and do meditation or yoga with a trusted instructor.

Fortunately, papa also did not have to be hospitalized. Once things really improved, we were able to leave the hospital.

“Assalamualaikum,” greetings Hans who just got home from work.

“Waalaikum greetings,” I replied.

“Yang, you why? What was? Looks really tense.” Hans was instantly able to catch the ripples of my agitated and nervous face.

“Tak apa.”

“Mama-papa where? So not the streets earlier?”

“There is in the Tv room. Papa is not well.”

“Papa hurts? What pain?”

I didn't answer. Just following my husband into the TV room approaching papa-mama.

“Pah, said Salma sick? What pain?” hans asked as he grabbed the back of papa's hand.

Bugh! Papa immediately raised a fist into Hans's face.

“Astaghfirullah, what is this, Pah?” tanyanya was surprised while holding the cheek that hit.

“Fuck you!” hardik papa's.

“Pah, patience! Hold Pah! Remember what the doctor said.” Mother reminded.

“Pah, please, Pah! All can be discussed carefully,” my door.

“Yang, what is it?”

“Papa know if you are cheating with a maid,” my light.

Hans cupped his face, then restored his hair. Then sit at papa's feet. “I'm sorry, Pah. I'm really very sorry,” he said while bowed.

“Why would you hurt a wife as good as Salma? What's her lack, huh?” 

“I am caliph, I admit wrong. I'm trying to fix it.”

“Certify Salma!” tell papa aloud.

“Divorce? Please don't separate us. Papa can hit me again as much as possible, can curse anything, but please do not ask me to divorce Salma.”

“Awak won't be able to give him pleasure. You just made him suffer.”

“Pah, until any time I will not divorce him.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course, Pah. Please do not separate us. Soon we will have a child, I don't want to, the child was born in a broken home. Allow us to raise her together. This child is also Papa's grandson. Papa want ‘kkan this child grow well?” Hans kept pleading.

“Heh, child?”

“Iya, Pah.”

“What for the sake of the child in Salma's womb, you will be willing to do anything?”

“Of course, Pah.”

Mama and I just quietly listened to the two men talking tensely.

“So, if the child does not exist, you are willing to separate from Salma?” Papa's tone is full of emphasis.

“Mean, Papa?” hans' forehead shriveled.

Deg, deg, deg .. This beat is getting crazy. Panic and fear of domination. Even though I've resigned my lie which in a matter of seconds will be revealed.

“Salma is not actually pregnant. Look at her stomach!” papa is satisfied.

Hans turned his head, his two nets were fixed on my stomach which suddenly deflated and he realized.

Hey, hey, what's Hans gonna react like, huh? After papa Salma told him the truth.
