Tarnished On The Bride's Night

You mean Chandra cheated?

That morning Dara woke up feeling very happy. Smiles adorn the face in every activity. Especially today Chandra is full at home. Their relationship became stronger. It could even be said that they almost had intercourse because they were so close. You can imagine for yourself what the behavior of husband and wife who mingle with each other.

“I want to be like this continue,” great-grandson Dara to Chandra who is now in his arms.

“Definitely, Ra. Surely we will be like this continue,” reply Chandra no less sweet.

“We go for a walk, yuk!” Dara takes Chandra out. “Don't we never walk together after marriage?”

“Where to go?”

“Maybe be able to places to eat or the beach.”

“Kita ‘kan want to Singapore. We just go there. But if for just eating out can.”

 “OK, I'm ready now, yes.”

Chandra nodded. When his wife went upstairs, his eyes were still following her. A few minutes later Dara returned wearing a beautiful long black dress that shaped her body so that Chandra repeatedly praised. Not to be outdone, Chandra finally changed her clothes to be more compatible with Dara. They were off to a place, a fancy restaurant. It could be said to be a romantic dinner.

The night ended with sleep hugging each other—until the morning, meet with Monday. And Chandra is back to her usual activities.

The next day ....

“Kak, Alif where?” dara asked the waiters when she had just arrived at Bistro A&D.

“Pak Alifnya yesterday returned to Jakarta, Kak.”

“Yeah ..” Dara was so disappointed to hear the answer. Though he was very happy because he could arrive here as early as possible to meet Alif. “Why didn't he tell me at all?” his gerrick. Then again ask the girl, “What time does Alif come home?”

“For if I'm not wrong, Brother. When I arrived he left.”

“When do you come back here?”

“Wooh, if for that I do not know,” the girl replied with meaningful smiles. “This brother is Mr. Alif's girlfriend, yes?”

“Ha?” Dara surprised.

“Soalnya if you come here, Mr. Alif always says, ‘that person does not need to pay’", he said. "Yes already then, I say goodbye, Brother. Still much work.”

Even though Dara wanted to deny it, but the girl had already left. “Hah, girlfriend? Where's the boyfriend from?” mumbling astonishment.

That afternoon, Dara sat there alone with a lethargic face. Alif's departure from him seemed to have lost something very valuable. It was immeasurable how lonely his heart was at that moment. He returned home with a big disappointment.

Dara: Quick turn ....

It's been two days since Dara sent a message to Alif Noran. But there was no reply from there. Is Alif sick? If even angry at him—lantas angry because of what? Why did it suddenly disappear like this? batin Dara was very anxious to dream it. But strangely enough, the dream was not an ordinary dream, but rather a very erotic dream.

Until the next morning Dara decided to take a mandatory bath.

Alif has been in Jakarta for four days to meet his parents and nieces. Now he has to come back, not—not because of Bistro, because Bistro is now in the hands of Jack and his friends. But more precisely misses women.

“Umi so want to see there,” said Umi Ros who had banned her second child from leaving again. “Good yes, the place? Umi see photos on your social media yesterday.”

“Lumayan. sometime Alif take Umi there.”

“Until it stands that grand, you did not tell us,” said Umi astonished. “Yes already, you be careful on the road. Don't forget to tell Umi when you arrive.”

Alif nodded then hugged kissing his umyad forehead.

“Don't think about Abah's talk just now. Whatever he says is simply because he wants the best for you.”

“I know,” Alif replied briefly.

“Yudha inquired about your efforts yesterday. So Umi replied let him know you are not just wandering there.”

“Umi Subject only. I still hate it.”

“Don't do that, he's changed now. Everyone must have been wrong.”

“That's important the reality is not.”

Sufficient, Alif got into the car and drove himself. Before the wheels of the car actually turned, he still saw the drops of tears that fell from his common eyes despite being quickly hit with the back of his hand. This pain is not only felt by herself, but a mother as well. Who knows that he is in a mistake.

I don't know what his purpose in life is right now, Alif himself really doesn't know. However, he was too lazy to think about it.

On the way, he smiled at the short incoming messages he read over and over again.

Dara: hurry back ....

“I'm back just for you, Ra. Therefore you must reply to it.”

“Where's Jack? You said Alif came today? You lied, huh?” ask Dara restlessly. Because it's been an hour here, but Alif hasn't arrived yet.

“Before possible,” replied Jack casually. They've known each other for a few days since Alif wasn't there.

“My time is not much,” Dara said again. He saw the clock on his phone. Now time has shown four o'clock in the afternoon—while he should already be at home before Chandra gets home.

“Propa. You think Jakarta is close? If so I've been back and forth every day, stupid.”

“You're rude. I don't like.”

“Measelessly don't ask questions. Noisy my ears.” Shortly afterwards Jack saw a smelly luxury car parked in the yard. “That's the guy! Sana kiss!”

Annoyed, Dara clenched the tissue box onto the table, causing a loud noise.

“Al, this has been waiting for you since,” said Jack when the man entered with his suitcase.

“If you do not know anything mending silent,” said Dara to Jack who only responded with a cynical smile. Then leave them both.

“What's up?” ask Alif.

“Alif. You finally came. I sent you a message yesterday, but you didn't reply. I was worried, thinking too. But thank goodness you're okay. Next time reply me, yes.”

Alif nodded.

“I'm just saying. I'm going to Singapore tomorrow, so I think I should tell you. I happened to be gone a long time ago.”

Why should I tell Alif? Dara herself wondered. But somehow she wanted Alif to know that due to the man's suggestion yesterday, had managed to get her relationship with Chandra back close.

“Oh, yes. You tired yeah, drive yourself?” ask Dara. The two sat facing the glass windows facing directly outside the street.

“Thank you, yes. Because you my relationship improved yesterday. Because of that too, Chandra invited me on vacation abroad.”

“I don't feel like doing anything. So you don't have to thank me,” Alif said briefly.

“To be clear I'm glad Chandra changed. Because my patience is not in vain. But I also don't really understand why he's changing that fast just because I'm following your and Vita's advice. What do you think? Is this awkward?”

Alif sighed for a moment before he finally replied, “Male if it has become a nyinyir, sweetening his lips, it can be suspected that he is hiding a vulgarity or lie. That's in my view from the experience. Whether you want to believe it or not.”

“But it doesn't feel like Chandra is that bad. I know her very well,” Dara interrupts immediately.

Alif put his shoulders. “I said earlier, it's up to you to believe it or not,” he repeated.

Dara thought about her husband. “You mean Chandra cheated?”
