PREMARITAL

The Blinding Misconceptions

"I thought your silence was a sign that everything was fine, I guess this big thing you never covered from me. I didn't expect, behind my back you to do something like that. What wrong? Why is it like this?"

Shara was pensive, looking blankly out the window of her room.

His daydreams instantly dispersed, as the flat object lying on the table rang loudly.

Shara picked up her phone call, at a glance she stared at the name nanar listed on the phone screen.

"Assalamallaikum, Mom." Shara answered in a doldrums.

"Wa'allaikumsalam, Deck you're home?" ask Sakha.

"Yes" Shara replied.

"Why not tell Mas, what's up?" tanya Sakha still did not feel the difference in his wife's tone.

"Taxi online," Shara still answered briefly.

Sakha begins to feel something strange, but she does not intend to be prejudiced.

"Yes, you're fine at home. Don't be so soybean," Sakha's pinta.

"Hem."

It felt like Shara was reluctant to talk any longer with her husband, her heart still sore enough to remember what happened exactly.

"Yes already, assalamallaikum."

"Wa'allaikumsalam."

Shara hung up her husband's phone first, after which she threw her body back on the bed.

His eyes closed, clear circles poking over his cheeks.

Sakha stared questioningly, I don't know what was going on with his wife.

"Woy, why daydream?" ask Bima.

Sakha gasped, she regained her consciousness.

"Why do I feel there is something different about Shara" Sakha said.

Bima scrunched his forehead, he was understanding the meaning of the words of his friend.

"Why can you think like that?" ask Bima.

"The tone is different" said Sakha.

Bima sighed, "just like I thought nothing, maybe baby."

Sakha was speechless, trying to shake off bad thoughts about his wife.

"You're right, maybe it's a baby."

"Yes, back to work!" exclaim Bima while encouraging his best friend.

Sakha nodded, she resumed her work.

Shara, feeling agitated, paced back and forth several times in the room. Occasionally he stroked his increasingly bulging stomach, a sense of sadness momentarily seethed within his chest.

"Oh my God, what should I do?" ask in the heart.

Suddenly, he remembered his parents. Shara immediately grabbed the phone, and intended to contact Umi Merry.

"Assalamallaikum, Ra?" say hello behind the phone.

"Wa'allaikumsalam, Umi how are you?" shara asked withstanding a cry.

"Alhamdulillah, healthy. Abi's healthy too, how are you, Ra?" ask Umi.

"Thank God, Umi. Ara kangen with Umi and Abi" Shara said tremblingly.

"Umi's also kangen, Ra. When did you and Sakha come to visit Umi and Abi?" ask Umi.

"God willing if there is a holiday Ara play to the house" said Shara.

Umi Merry heard with a sobbing sound, she began to feel worried for her daughter.

"Ra, are you okay?" ask Umi Merry.

Shara shut her mouth, hoping that Umi Merry would not hear the stuffing.

"Ara's fine, Umi."

"Aren't you lying to Umi?" ask Umi.

"Yes Umi, Ara hang up first. Assalamallaikum" said Shara. He cried again, releasing all that was in his heart. Shara wanted to tell her parents, but she did not want to make both of them burdened.

"Oh Allah, always take care of the servant's daughter." Umi said while stroking her chest which somehow felt tight.

The clock shows at five o'clock in the afternoon, Sakha's time to go home. He rushed to return home, Sakha also refused Bima's invitation to take him for coffee at a restaurant.

"I'm first, Bim. Assalamallaikum" said Sakha.

"Be careful, wa'allaikumsalam."

Bima looked at Sakha's motor that was starting to move away, he also immediately got into his car.

In the middle of the trip, Sakha stopped the speed of his motorbike. He intends to contact his wife, and offers her just in case anyone wants Shara to eat or drink at this time.

"Assalamallaikum, Deck. Mas is on the way home, no deposit? Let Mas buy it," asked Sakha.

"Nothing" Shara replied indifferently.

"Oh, yes, that's it. Walk again," said Sakha then turned off her phone.

"Shara why, dad? Did something happen to her?" ask Sakha in my heart. He's running his bike back.

***

Arriving in front of the house, Sakha rushed in to see his wife.

"Assalamallaikum, Dek Mas is home." Sakha walks around looking for Shara.

Sakha opened the door of her room, looking at Shara sitting down while staring blankly at the window.

"Dek," said Sakha softly as she patted Shara on the shoulder.

Shara gasped, and turned towards her husband.

"You daydreaming?" ask Sakha.

Shara was excited, she also felt bad because she did not realize the arrival of her husband.

"Sorry, Mas. Let me prepare the food first," Shara said as she passed leaving Sakha still standing in her place.

"What's wrong with Shara? He didn't even welcome or kiss my hand." Sakha is astonished by his wife's attitude.

Sakha rushes to clean up, wanting to immediately ask what really happened to Shara.

Shara was preparing food for her husband, in the midst of turmoil she still tried to do her duty as a wife.

As he was arranging the plates and glasses on the table, suddenly a pair of hands coiled around his waist. Shara looked back, it turned out Sakha who was now drowning her face on Shara's shoulder.

"Want to eat now, Mum?" shara asked without looking at her husband.

Sakha noticed the look on his wife's face, it was true that there were others there.

"Why are you, Dek?" sakha asked without poking Shara's question, who asked her to eat soon.

Shara lowered her head, she sighed deeply.

"Why what?" shara asked as if nothing had happened.

Sakha touched his wife's chin, she directed Shara's face to look at him.

Now that their eyes met, Sakha stared into the dim eyes of his wife.

"You why? Why do you feel like you're avoiding Mas?" sakha asked as if introgating.

Shara looked back at her husband, remembering what Airin said to her.

"There's something I want to ask you, Mom." Shara started to open the conversation.

Sakha nodded, "what is it?" tanyakanya.

"What is the law if a husband lies and covers up the truth behind his wife?" shara asked no less introgating.

Sakha was surprised, she began to ponder the direction of his wife's question.

"Why are you asking that?" ask Sakha.

"Questions are answered with answers, not with questions." Shara confirmed her sentence.

Sakha fell silent, she began to understand the direction of his wife's conversation.

"Sir, there's something I need to explain." Sakha spoke carefully.

"One more thing, what should a pregnant wife find her husband betrayed? And can a wife ask for a divorce from her husband who has betrayed her?"

Shara asked with teary eyes, as if she could no longer hold back her tears.

Sakha is so surprised to hear his wife's question, she is preparing to explain everything to Shara. Because after all, he was guilty of covering up the truth from his wife.
