Red Stain

Lipstick #2

Julia just kept quiet when the lipstick was smeared onto Tari's lips, it was the lipstick found in Son's car and Tari just said that it was like what she had and was wearing but it was gone, don't-don't.

"What dance are you....?" Julia hesitantly wanted to ask when her suspicions to Tari grew stronger but on the other hand there was only the lipstick as evidence and it was still uncertain, if Julia accuses Tari now then it could be wrong.

There is no guarantee that the current prejudice is true, so for now it is better for Julia to harbour her suspicions first and still look for further evidence.

"So what did you want to say ?." Dance stopped applying lipstick on her lips and looked up at Julia who was even shaking her head.

"It's okay after this let's all three watch together."

"It's been a long time the three of us haven't watched together, but now there's a time."

Julia noticed that Dance put the lipstick back into her pouch while thanking her. For now the lipstick will be stored as evidence but Julia will look for stronger evidence.

*****

Day after day she no longer got evidence of her husband's infidelity, so she thought it was possible that suspicion of the Son was wrong. But getting lipstick in the husband's car while Julia never even bought the lipstick should be natural if suspicious.

But Julia was already stuck unable to get any evidence so she ventured to ask directly and hoped that it was just a mistake.

"Son can we talk to you for a second ?." Julia's face was so tense and when she sat down she was already uncomfortable. "There's something important I want to ask you about this lipstick ?."

"Who's lipstick ?." The son still does not understand why Julia showed her lipstick, maybe the wife asked to buy lipstick again or how.

"This lipstick I found in your car when we went to the supermarket, it's not mine so it's who's it ?." Julia's tears are already on the inside and ready to drip as she is very emotional at the moment but hopes that her fears of the worst don't happen.

The son widened his eyes, if the lipstick did not belong to Julia then it was definitely Thalia's and why the lipstick could be so late in his car when Julia boarded.

At this time the Son wanted to scold Thalia right now but he had to be patient and look for a thousand kinds of good reasons to be able to answer Julia's question without making the wife angry.

"It was my mother's, at that time my mother asked to be delivered to her friend's place and my mother dressed up in the car so her lipstick was left behind." The son smiled a little to remove the suspicion of Julia, for whatever reason now he also wanted to contact his mother in order to help him convince Julia.

"Is this really hers, Mom ? Then may I call and ask Mama directly ?." Julia took her phone in her pocket and scrolled the name in phone contact to find the name of her mother-in-law. The picture of the phone is pressed and long enough to connect.

The Son's head had pulsed so strongly that it wanted to explode, he was not a devout man of worship but was now praying to God to be saved from the wrath of the wife who could have shaken their household with the threat of divorce.

Julia ~ "ma here I found lipstick she said This son lipsticks mama the other day when Mama asked us to be escorted to the place of Arisan, Is this true lipstick mama please answer honestly ma."

Long mama answered Julia's question until Putra joined the scene because of it, her hands were squeezed until it did not feel that the tip of her nails hurt her palms.

Mama-in-law ~ "yes Julia is her lipstick mama, Mama until not aware that it is lost because lipstick has a lot of mama."

Julia ~ "oh that's so thank you mah and sorry to disturb Mama gini nights."

Mama-in-law ~ "yes it's okay."

The phone connection was cut off and Putra breathed a sigh of relief as well as Julia but both did not show, for now the Son is saved by the mother and after this the Son must send a gift as a token of gratitude.

"You listen dear he said the mama was indeed the lipstick, where there I macem-macem take the woman into the car and betray a beautiful wife like you. Only ungrateful people have a wife as beautiful as you."

The appeal of the Son as usual was thrown and now Julia again believes even though it is not 100% just like that, there is something stuck in her small heart even though Mama-in-law said that it was indeed her lipstick.

But Julia expels all existing suspicions and after all the key to a healthy relationship is trust for it Julia promises will not be carelessly suspicious anymore.

"I'm sorry baby these few days I'm suspicious of you."

"It's okay don't do that anymore, I'm a loyal person so you don't have to hesitate to believe in me." The son hugged the wife so tightly and stroked her back several times then smiled at the sign she had won and escaped this time.

At the same time but the other place Mama-in-law hung up the phone and approached the husband who was watching TV and moved the channel to see the tv show that was anticipated.

"Call from whom ?."Ask without looking.

"From Julia he said he found lipstick in his car Son, the boy's hobby is making act like Papa used to be. Don't know how long their marriage is if Putra still likes snacks only."

The name in-law sighed at the behavior of his son that had not changed since the first, he thought with the Son married it was a sign that he was ready to commit and would no longer glance at the others but it turned out the same, it turned out, marriage for the Son is just a piece of writing on paper rather than something meaningful..

"Whatever you're just comparing to me, you're also spoiling that kid. Let's go to sleep later if he gets in trouble again because of himself."

The utterance of the fruit falling not far from the tree turns out to be true for his family Son, the man always did what he loved no matter what. His family already knew the character of the Son and left him like the wind.
