Tarnished On The Bride's Night

It turns out you were the culprit

“Dara ...,” said Vita gently grasped both her best friend and sister-in-law. “I don't forbid you to suspect him. But if you are so right, you can ask him carefully.”

The two women stared at each other. “I believe Alif is a good man. Even if he is really the culprit, you must first listen to the explanation until it is finished.”

"How can I treat him well after he took away my honor and ruined my life mercilessly, Ta? I was so miserable because of it. He stole it from me when I was already a wife, woe again on the first night. It's only natural that I'm angry ...."

The tears that had been held back had now broken. In the arms of her sister, Dara sobbed. “This world is really unfair, Ta ...”

“This is not sure to be true, Dar. Make sure everything first, huh?”

But Dara did not want to hear, she was so sure of her guess, “So not even a week me, that I did not realize that I had entered into the cage of my own predator? Even stupidly I asked him to help me investigate. Now, it is appropriate that Alif found nothing, because in fact he himself is the culprit.”

While Vita himself only tried to calm down. He tried to refrain from saying anything that he and Yudha had kept secret. After all, Yudha asked him to keep his mouth shut. Not to cover up his mistake—buk. But this disgrace they can not express anywhere because they fear will disappoint many parties. Especially hurting Abah and Umi, making them embarrassed, discouraged and feel failed to be parents.

“I tried to be in your position, Ta. Cry as much as you can only have me here.”

“I should how, Ta? Why would Alif do this? Is my fault with her?” ask Dara in between sobs.

“I really don't know, Dar. But he must have had a big reason. You can ask her this after Alif gets home. But ...,” Vita caught it for a moment. “... please, don't let Umi and Abah know this problem first, I'm afraid they're why-why. Especially Umi who is just healthy. They are in a happy state because their second child is finally and just married. I'm afraid they're disappointed again.”

“You're easy to talk like that, Ta. Try if you were me, you would also scream loudly.”

“Dara ... Dara, please. I'm not selfish. I was in your position too. To endure the destruction alone, even it feels really more pain and you know it. But I tried to refrain from burdening Umi Ros and also Abah. They don't know shit. This mistake was purely made by his children.”

Dara's getting sobbing. He put his head on the table and let his long hair cover all of his face.

“Enter everything, Dar. So that you feel relieved,” said Vita still holding Dara's hand firmly.

“Mama, Onti nangis?” tanya Umar approached the two of them.

“Sstt, no dear. Onti Just another soy sauce,” replied Vita stroking the dense hair of her son's head. “Kaka Umar play again the same Adek yes, Nak.”

“But Ontinya cry,” said Mauza again and instead follow crying. "Goddessa ...."

So also with Umar who over time followed so that the room became very crowded. Vita forgets that her children cannot see others sad, so the consequences are.

“Aduh, earthquake,” muttered Vita while holding her head that felt throbbing. In this room only he was sane, while the other three lives were flooded with tears.

At four o'clock in the afternoon Yudha arrived home. And perhaps today is the quickest return of Yudha because she usually comes home when it is almost evening. Of course there is a reason, namely because of the request of his wife. He said there was something important to talk about.

Just now that he was on the porch of the house, the three children were already running around welcoming him. “Papa!”

“Aduh!” yudha said because the three little boys hit his body. “Papa want to wash your hands first, son ..”.

“I want to dendong!” mauza exclaimed as she stretched out her two tiny hands, asking to be clenched.

“I juda-aku juda!” shouted another one not to lose, namely Umar.

“I too, Papa,” was with his brother, Rayyan. If Yudha holds her two sisters, it means Rayyan must also get the same treatment so as not to feel jealous or distinguished.

“Yes already, Papa carried everything. Mauza equals Umar, Papa is carrying in front, keep Kaka Ray carrying behind,” point Yudha to his body parts. And before long, the three children had been clinging to his Papa's body like koala children.

Arriving inside, Vita immediately greeted her with a headband because she found her husband so exhausted. “Are you okay, Mas?”

“The waist is potentially gouty,” the answer is very honest.

“Later if one more birth want to put where?”

“I put it on the head,” the answer is not able to bear the weight of these puffer boys. “Already, yes? It has arrived inside. We got down ...”

“Come down, Son. Poor Papa, still tired of just coming home from work. Papa wants to take a shower first,” said Vita persuaded her children and made them nod frequently. They descended together after Yudha slightly lowered her body down.

“Let's play again, yeah, Pa?” Mauza.

“Iya, Son. Later that night play again if Papa has taken a bath,” Yudha replied. Not long after that, they again ruffled the toys that were provided by the baby sitter so as not to run everywhere.

“What's up?” yudha asked intending to ask something that Vita had said earlier this afternoon. Because he just heard about Alif's problem. “It sounds very important.”

“This is important, Mas. Very-very important,” Vita replied very seriously. “It is better that Mas Yudha recover quickly, later we talk in the room.”

“Its ok,” replied Yudha while kissing his wife's cheek right-left. Without realizing there was someone there watching, an old man.

“Ehmm.” the dehemannya sounds very loud and made-up like swallowing avocado seeds.

“Above, don't be here!” said he was fierce.

“Change irrigate, yes?” Yudha.

“Nganan!” it sounds more fierce.

“Why is Dara?” yudha asked as she dried her hair in front of the bathroom. Staring at his wife who was sitting in a dressing chair while rubbing her distended stomach. “Does he fuss with Alif?” coined. “My feelings they just got married.”

“Many things you don't know yet, Mas. But this time I want a story because it concerns your sister.”

Yudha nodded waiting for Vita's next speech.

He first took a breath before finally starting his story from the beginning. “Because it was actually raped on its first night.”

“What?” yudha said surprised and somewhat jerking. “Why can?”

“Yes, that's why he divorced Chandra,” Vita replied shortly after. "Although that's not the main reason."

“Isn't it because her ex-husband cheated? Did I hear wrong?”

Then Vita explained clearly how the incident happened, how Chandra responded, how Dara's difficulty finding evidence alone, then ended up being cheated. And before the divorce happened, came the figure of Alif who inexplicably was there for Dara at all times. It seems, everything that happens is not a coincidence unless there is someone designing the scenario.

“You've caught the outline, Mas?” asked Vita after a while Yudha was silent and seemed very emotional.

“The perfume that Dara smelled was exactly the same as the perfume that stuck to her bridal outfit. Not only that, you also found something in—Mas!” but unresolved because Vita directly held her husband's body that looks to come out with a tinge of anger. “Where to?”

“Give him a lesson!” the word Yudha is so emotional that the veins in his jaw look very obvious.

During this time, Alif often insulted him that he was the most jerk and lie in the world. But in fact—dia herself even worse than him. Even to the point of causing the household of others to fall apart.

Truly a savage act?! Yudha thought that her sister was not a human being, because she usually had a brain?!

“Please, hold your emotions. Mas can strongly reprimand Alif, but unlike this way, think Abah same Umi. They can be shocked to find out what really happened.”

“I can finish it!” yudha's emotions were growing.

“Yudha, please stop here!?” exclaim Vita no less high so that Yudha will listen to him. He put his body behind the door so that Yudha would not come out.

“Side, don't try to block me!”

“Hold your emotions, Mas. The problem will only get bigger if you even come to make them hotter.”

“But this is the problem—”

“Mas PLEASE?!” Vita shook her head and held Yudha's body with all her might. “I know you are very angry with Alif, but it is not this attitude that you have to show.” Vita hugged Yudha to calm her down. “Give them time because they themselves have not spoken to each other.... Take a deep breath so you can calm down, yes. We can talk later with them if indeed Alif has admitted his actions.”

A while later, Yudha's breathing gradually calmed down. “I really feel guilty to his family that we asked his daughter well yesterday. What if Abah and Umi hear Alif's behavior? Moreover .... Dara family?”

“I also did not expect at all, Mas, why would Alif do such a thing. Though he is a child from a good family,” said Vita in a voice that is already much lower. “We'll help you think about the solution, Mas. Because now this ... Dara is in shock. I know what it's like to be her ..”

It was not long before Yudha finally nodded.

The two hugged each other to calm down.

While elsewhere ....

Alif just got in front of the house. He got in right away after parking his car in the garage. The man ran to the room, impatient to meet his beloved wife.

"Ra, I'm home!" the screams were very happy.

But what happened after Alif got there?

He found Dara in a very messy situation.

“It turns out you did it!” dara said as soon as she saw it, without her knowing the meaning of the woman's words.
