Not the Wrong Destiny

Misunderstand

Bima's POV.

I arrived at the house just as the Adzan isya was reverberating, fortunately I had stopped by the hospital mosque to perform the magrib prayer. Tired, that's how I feel. All day long being in the office and doing endless tasks. I want to see my wife soon, put my head on her shoulder. Because he's the only cure of all my fatigue.

Lucky I had him in my life, he was a source of happiness, making me feel meaningful and know my next life goal.

Just by looking at her pretty face, able to make my mind feel refreshed.

I didn't expect to fall in love so quickly with her, she's a strong and tough person in my opinion. He didn't complain much even when Dad told him to do this and that.

Especially when I find out if he loves me too, the world feels like mine. I never thought that loving and being loved would be this beautiful. And I promised myself that I would love her to the end of my life. Whatever happens, I'll stay with him. Including if my own father was against my relationship with him.

If I have committed to one thing, then forever I will hold that commitment.

I parked the car right in the yard, the gate was even still locked earlier, forced I had to go down first and open it myself.

Is my wife home? But why does the atmosphere of the house feel lonely like this? Usually he would welcome my return with a big smile.

I walked through the porch, then opened the door that turned out to be unlocked. Why can't Nindi be this reckless as not locking the door when I'm not home?

"Assalamualaikum, dear?" I began to enter the house, through the living room and looking for my wife's presence in the kitchen.

But Nindi wasn't in every corner of the room. I breathed a heavy breath. Maybe in the room. Then I climbed one by one the stairs, towards the second floor. The sound of the shoes I was wearing made a loud noise in the silence.

Crews!

I opened the door of the room that was not in the key. My eyes squinted at the sight of the stifling chest happening before my own eyes.

I saw her, my wife was wrapped under the blanket, a stranger was beside her. I was also sleeping holding my wife. Only their heads were visible, while their bodies were blocked by the blanket that Nindi and I used to use when sleeping together.

Jem!

It was as if the thorn archery had just stabbed and pierced through the heart of my heart, was this all a dream? My eyes warmed, my emotions suddenly rose to a hump when I realized that this was not a dream.

I who usually can always control myself when my mood is bad though, now can not stem the anger that is turbulent. I'm angry, I'm disappointed, my heart is heating up.

I pulled the blanket that covered my wife and the foreign man with all my might. The anger is now controlling me. I lost this time, I gave up, I am just an ordinary human being who if betrayed would definitely feel pain.

Moreover, he is someone I love very much. Nindi, why are you so willing to betray me? What is my lack? The love and the joy I have given you. But this is your reply?

I how to plant rice, but the ones that grow even weeds.

"Wake up! BANJINGAN!" I pulled the man's body down from the bed and fell to the floor.

The man who was fast asleep was immediately drunk and woke up. Some of his shirt buttons weren't attached properly. Adding the sparks in my heart grew even more intense.

BUKK!!

With the hunting breath I lifted my fist, landed right on his face, I saw him in confusion as he groaned in pain, holding his cheek that I had smashed.

Then the man spread his eyes all over the room.

While my wife was still asleep, not feeling disturbed at all by the commotion I created.

"Where's this? And who are you? Why did you hit me?" Ask the man. Is he on a show right now that I've kissed him sleeping with my wife?

"No need to pretend, I know everything, you and my wife are playing with fire behind my back." In a high tone I snapped at the man.

"What's? Who's your wife?" Then the man turned to the bed, where Nindi was fast asleep.

"Still want to dodge? You've slept together." My words are getting angry. This incident shook my soul so much that I could act like a father when I was angry.

BUKK!!

BUKK!!

I couldn't hold my hand from hitting him again, I took this as an outpouring of my anger. I wanted to cry, but my tears never came out. This pain is tormenting me even more.

"No-no. It's a misunderstanding. Please stop. I don't know your wife, nor do I know why I'm here." The man shies away from reality. He thinks I'm just gonna believe what he said?

"All the evidence is in plain sight, can you still deny? HUH UH? You ASSHOLE!" For the first time in my life I said those words of no praise.

"If you don't believe me, just ask your wife. I'm sure you must have believed in your wife. There must be a misunderstanding here" The man seemed patient in the face of my anger, even though he had no intention of replying to my blow.

I looked at him more and more, then I walked around the bed and woke up my wife who was still not disturbed.

"Darling, wake up baby!" I clapped Nindi's cheeks, even though I was disappointed in her, but somehow I couldn't be rude and still speak softly. I don't want to hurt him. Is that the love I have for her?

Nindi squirms.

***

Nindi squirmed, as she felt a hand shake her cheek. Disturbed by the movement, he slowly tried to open his eyes which felt so heavy. I don't know why his sleep this time felt good and long.

However, his head felt pulsating. He woke up holding his head that hurt.

"Become Brother." She said when she saw her husband in front of her.

"Darling, who is he?" Bima asked while glancing in one direction. Nindi followed the direction of Bima's brother's view.

Not lost the feeling of dizziness in his head, now Nindi was made dizzy with the presence of strangers in his room.

"Who is this sister?" Even back to asking.

"You don't know who he is?" Ask brother Bima.

"No, why is he here?" Nindi is confused by herself.

"Well, your wife doesn't know me either. I don't know him either, it's just a misunderstanding." The man spoke up.

"Misunderstand what that means?" Tanya Nindi asked for an explanation.

"Your husband found me sleeping here with you. I was confused as to why I could be in this place." Explain it briefly but clearly.

"What?" Nindi seemed surprised by the man's explanation. Yes timing? When did Nindi put him in this house? Neither know.

She glanced at Bima's sister, trying to read her husband's thoughts through her facial line. But unexpectedly, sister Bima even bent her knees right in front of Nindi.

"Darling, tell me what's my fault so you can do this to me? Tell me what I am lacking? I will try to improve myself to be the man you want to be. As long as you don't leave me, I love you so much." Bima's brother said softly, he stared fixedly at Nindi's eyes. A fear is clearly visible in the eyes of Bima.

"Please, I'm sorry. I promise I'll work harder so I can give you more money." Nindi felt that her hands were getting wet. Is Bima crying now?

Holy hooch! Bima really is bucin!

But Nindi could not watch her husband grovel like that, especially in front of the foreign man.

Nindi couldn't stay still, it was true what the man said. Brother Bima misunderstood, Nindi must straighten everything right now.

"Sister, I misunderstood. It's true what he said. Trust me, brother, I'm coming back this month. How could I possibly be in a relationship, let alone a man I don't know." Nindi. Brother Bima raised his head when he heard Nindi's explanation.

"Well, you heard it yourself. I also have a wife and children at home. How could I betray them." The man's words are hoarding.

"Are you really coming, baby?" Ignoring the man, Bima asked Nindi.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, let's check into the bathroom." Bima nodded in agreement, then both of them went to the bathroom.

"Don't run away!" Bima pointed at the man full of threats.

The man appears to raise both his hands in the air, a sign of resignation.

He never thought, why could he be stuck here and accused of fucking people's wives. Last thing he remembered, he was on his way home after work, but all of a sudden...

Holy hooch!

***

At the hospital, more precisely in Sheerin's inpatient room, Levin still faithfully accompanied the newly legal woman to be his lover, he grabbed the bowl of porridge that had just been delivered by the nurse.

"Eat first yes, then take the medicine!" Levin said excitedly.

"No ahh." Said Sheerin while Levin was weeding a spoon on the porridge bowl.

"Lho, why? You should eat let the spit heal." Said Levin rather disappointed, his spirit had Sheerin broken with just that short sentence.

"It feels tasteless. I'd like to eat something else." Sheerin said negotiate.

"What do you want to eat? You can't eat just like that." Levin reminded.

"Hmm, satay can?" Sheerin asked with her eyes twinkling as she imagined a skewer coming into her mouth.

"I don't know, I asked the sister first?" Levin.

Sheerin nodded with a smile, surely the nurse allows. He could not wait to taste the chicken meat that was covered in peanut sauce and soy sauce.

Just as Levin was about to exit, the door of the inpatient room opened. There appeared a person that Sheerin memorized from behind that door.

Sheerin and Levin glanced at each other upon seeing his sudden arrival.

"Hi, Rin." That awkward smile was engraved on Lea's lips, indicating that her heart was being struck by a concussion.

"Hi Le's. Here!" Sheerin waved his hand at Lea, his best friend. Holy hooch! Sheerin himself misses Lea so much, Lea who lately like trying to avoid it. But now, Leah came and met him. Haru's taste began to envelop Sheerin's heart. Is this a good start to start over?

With hesitation, Lea stepped closer towards Sheerin. He placed the fruit parcel on the side table of Sheerin's bed.

The atmosphere remained unchanged, the silence was still the main character in the room. Until Levin finally realized that he was not needed there.

"Emm, She, I'm leaving now." Levin.

"Yes, don't forget to bring the satellite!" Sheerin replied reminding of his order.

Levin smiled faintly, then pulled the door handle, before finally his shadow disappeared in the door.

Sheerin and Lea were there.

"Sit here Le!" Sheerin's words broke to the feet between them. He patted Levin's oversized chair right next to his bed.

"Yes." Yeah." Leapun dropped his body there. He played his hand because he was nervous. He was confused as to where to start their conversation from. Because, lately their relationship has not gone as smoothly as before.

"Thank you, Le, I've come a long way to see me here." Sheerin said with a smile, acting as if nothing had ever happened between them.

"Rin, I'm really ashamed of you." Lea finally dared to talk.

"Why should I be ashamed? Le, I think there's a lot we need to talk about right now." Sheerin.

"Yes Rin, I think so too. But before I want to apologize loe because lately I avoid loe. I knew it was the hardest time of your life. I was selfish, I followed them. Don't believe in loe and corner loe indirectly." Lea said, her face bent, embarrassed to look into Sheerin's eyes.

"No Le, I'm the wrong one here. I don't think you're a friend, but I can't open up completely the same loe. I covered everything from you. Loe deserves to be angry with me. Because it's purely my fault."

"No Rin, I'm wrong here too. Honestly, I'm disappointed when you know there's no news at all, you don't go to college for weeks. I lost the best friend of my life. And all of a sudden you come to campus, your attitude is turning out to be strange. I didn't recognize you at that time. And when I found out that you have a twin brother. I really-m-great down. You never want to tell me what really happened to you. Though I always worry about you, miss and wait for news from Loe Rin." Lea said, now her tears are starting to melt.

Sheerin's heart was filled with the words of Lea. Apparently, Lea still cares about her. Sheerin hasn't been alone this whole time. Leah never forgot herself. It was precisely Sheerin who had been making a distance between himself and Lea.

Sheerin hugged Lea, whose shoulder Sheerin had been resting on, now back. Sheerin misses this shoulder a lot.

Lea stretched out her hand, welcoming Sheerin's embrace, instantly, sobs instantly rang out from Sheerin's lips, she cried while hugging Lea.

"Loe has to promise Rin. From now on you should tell me whatever happened in your life to me. Otherwise, don't expect you to know me again." Forcing and threatening. Leah doesn't want to lose her best friend again. Alone is no fun. He needs a friend to make the meaning of life more real.

"Gue promise Le, excuse me huh?" Lea nodded faintly.

For quite a while they hugged each other, releasing longings that had been long-buried. Before they finally let go of that hug.

"Oh yeah Rin, that was Levin, right? The new kid on the campus is often the same as Clarissa." Lea asked started kepo, her awkwardness had now evaporated away. He went back to being the way he used to be, warm and attentive. It was one of the attitudes Lea Sheerin missed so much.

"Heem, I'm dating him." Sheerin replied shyly to the cat.

"What's? How could it be? Ayoo! Same story as me!" Lea shook Sheerin's hand, impatient to hear the romance between Sheerin and Levin. As it turns out, Lea is a lot left behind with the story that happened in the life of his best friend.
