Reaching Hope

Chapter 147 The Bitter Reality

Next day.

Cindy still feels pain in her stomach after a cesarean section, especially after yesterday's bleeding. But the pain in his heart was much more he felt, he did not know who to share it with. Her body was weak without energy, even her baby was forced to be formula-fed by her mother-in-law. He hoped Clara and Jhony would come to see him again soon.

She deliberately did not ask her husband, because surely the man had 1001 reasons to give up. He must uncover everything, he is determined not to forgive Bima if it is caught cheating.

"Sister, how's it going? Loh, why is Big Brother's face so pale?" clara asked worried.

"Yes Cin, yesterday you were okay why is this now?" ask Jhony.

Cindy could no longer bear the pain, her tears just shed to wet the pillow she was sleeping on. Both of them were confused to see Cindy crying. Fortunately her mother-in-law was taking her granddaughter's walk outside so she didn't see the sight.

"Why are you crying?"

Clara wiped Cindy's tears and gently rubbed her shoulders. They felt his sadness even though they did not know what made him so sad.

"It looks like Bima was cheating, when yesterday he came I smelled a woman's perfume. On her collar is also a lipstick stain, please help me catch it. I can't stand living like this" Cindy replied after calming down.

Clara and Jhony sighed violently, they were furious to know Bima's behavior was beyond limits. The struggle to get this girl is not easy, he betrays her even while she is struggling to bet her life.

"I'm sorry, brother, we must have helped. But what would you do if that conjecture turned out to be proven?" ask Clara.

"I'm going to ask for a divorce, I can't share a husband with another woman. Just imagine that my heart hurts so much" Cindy replied.

"Yes, now you rest. Clara and I will watch over Bima, I hope you are strong for your children" Jhony said.

"I'm fine, you guys just go. I want to know the truth, I don't want this prejudice to kill me slowly,"

Clara and Jhony soon passed, they headed to Bima's office. The office was quite large, they pretended to want to meet Bima to keep an eye on maybe something suspicious, of course Clara was still undercover and wearing a mask.

"Good day, can I meet with Pak Bima from the operational division?" ask Jhony.

"Sorry, Mr. Bima is out with Mr. Jenny the manager of this company. They were having lunch with the company's client" the receptionist replied.

"When can you tell where they are?" ask Jhony again.

"Sorry sir, I cannot tell you. If there's any business, you can just call his number,"

"All right, thank you,"

Jhony and Clara are disappointed that they did not find Bima, their investigation deadlocked.

"Eh ma'am Jenny was desperate yes, every day went the same Mr. Bima. Now they go to the Mar**t hotel he said he met a client, but I can guess what they did. It could be a world war if Roby finds out, sir,"

"It's Din, we don't have to interfere in their affairs. So the employee went awry, siding with Mr. Roby was threatened by Jenny's mother, but if we just keep quiet we follow sin,"

The two girls spoke softly, but Jhony's hearing caught their conversation.

"Come on Clara, hurry,"

Jhony pulls Clara's hand, the girl complies despite not knowing where to take her.

"Jhon, where are we really going?" ask Clara.

"I know where they are, hopefully what I heard was true" replied Jhony.

"What if they're not here, Jhon? How could they tell someone else where they're having an affair anyway?"

They both felt desperate, they sat in the hotel lobby to rest for a while while looking at the people passing by. This hotel is so big, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack it's like investigating where they are here.

Clara suddenly runs away from Jhony, the girl gets into the elevator. Jhony lost track of the elevator long before he regained consciousness and chased the girl.

"Jhon, I'm on the 3rd floor. Hurry up here," Clara called Jhony.

Jhony rushes up to the 3rd floor, he soon meets Clara who has been waiting for him next to the elevator.

"He really is Bima, I'm sure they cheated. They looked very friendly in the elevator, when there was me and a couple of husband and wife also in the elevator," said Clara.

"Then we have to what now, Clara,"

Clara immediately whispered in Jhony's ear, telling him about her idea.

"But what if you can't get in?" ask Jhony.

"We look for other ways, which is important to try first. You wear a mask too, here you go,"

Clara supplies her masks to Jhony, and they immediately execute her plan.

Tok...

Several times Clara knocked but there was no reply, he tried for the last time but still not open. He gave up, he would walk away when the door opened.

"Hey, who are you playing knocking on people's room doors?" jenny said.

"Sorry, my husband and I just checked out. But someone forgot to miss in the bathroom, can I take a minute?" ask Clara carefully.

"There's nothing, you're quick to take it," replied Jenny.

Clara stepped slowly, she looked for the location of the bathroom with the corner of her eye, she should not be wrong if she did not want to be discovered. He immediately went into the bathroom and pretended to take something he had actually taken from his bag.

Inner Clara cursed, she saw Bima bare-chested on a mattress. The man glanced at him, but his mistress then explained. As planned, in order to retrieve the footage, Jhony would knock on the room and pretend to be looking for his wife.

***

Meanwhile in the hospital.

Cindy waited with a restless feeling. He hoped his conjecture was wrong, but all the evidence was pointing in that direction. Chat intimate that he accidentally read, hotel booking receipts, the smell of women's perfume on Bima shirt to lipstick stains is strong evidence of infidelity.

"Why do you keep going son, just rest so as not to be tired" said his mother-in-law.

"I'm fine, ma'am, said the doctor told me to walk so that my stitch wound would heal quickly" Cindy replied.

After 2.5 hours of waiting, Clara and Jhony finally arrived. Cindy asked her in-laws to buy her food so she could chat freely with them.

"Hows it? Can you get that evidence? Is he really cheating?" ask Cindy impatiently.

They stared at each other, they were silent unable to explain. Let Cindy see it for herself. Honest is better, even bitter. Clara gave me the recording.

"Jeez, this is Jenny's mom. The wife of the owner of the company where Mas Bima works, have the heart of both of them" Cindy said as she sobbed.
