TEMPTED

TEMPTED
Seduced 24



Akmal looked at his unconscious wife. He held the woman's fingers. It is clearly shown how his laughter when Akmal teased. But he has betrayed behind him. Having an illicit relationship with Arumi's best friend.


One thing to understand, no one can guarantee a person's speech. Today he might say A, but tomorrow he could change. Time, circumstances and circumstances that make it so. Well, Akmal himself is no exception.

Arumi has been moved to the treatment room. Three hours the man waited. His sight never left Arumi.


But suddenly his fingers began to move a sign of consciousness little by little approaching the woman.


Akmal smiled. "Baby Arumi, you're awake."


Arumi opened her eyes. The pupil adjusts the incoming light. Her eyes were immediately on the husband. "M-mas Akmal ...." The woman called her husband in a loud voice.


"Yes, honey." Akmal tucked the woman's fingers. He was getting closer to Arumi. "Mas, over here, honey."


Arumi remembers last night. His eyes began to glaze over. "M-mas last night k-where?" He was so scared of the dream he had.


Akmal fell silent. He doesn't know what to answer. Akmal could not possibly admit his depraved treatment in front of the weakly lying Arumi. The man was only able to close his eyes.


"Mas, I-I had a bad dream ...." The water he was holding was now flowing soaking his temples.


Akmal who saw directly hugged the woman. The man also wept over his immense guilt. "I-I .. fear, Mas ...."


Akmal shook his head slowly. "Arumi, Honey ... Mas, right here. Don't be afraid." Akmal again kissed all parts of his wife's face, long ago.

Both lungs entered the room. Well, it was Akmal's mother and Arumi's mother. Both are full of worries.


"Akmal, what are you doing to my son-in-law?" Susan's mother walked over to her daughter-in-law. "Geez, kid!"


"Why is it like this, son?" Mama Reni looked at her daughter's state, shedding tears.


Akmal is getting guilty. Looking at the two middle-aged it feels like he can't. He retreated backwards giving space to the three of them. He breathed many times.


"Mom and Mama, no need to worry. Arumi is fine ...." With a weak voice Arumi calmed the two middle-aged. He doesn't want them to worry about his situation.


Both of them saw the woman's leg bandaged. "How can this be, son?" Mama Reni asked for an explanation to her son.


"I-this is Arumi's fault. Ma-ma knows right, Mama's son .. sloppy." Arumi gulped after explaining. The woman did not want to tell me everything. He didn't want to make anyone else feel anxious.


Susan's mother rubbed her daughter-in-law's head fondly. "Next time be careful, son." Advice from Susan's mother.


Akmal who saw, his eyes back glazed. How his wife hid everything from her parents. Not once did Arumi tell her that Akmal wasn't home.


*****


"You better go home, Mal. Look at your messy appearance. Once clean you can come back." Susan's mother saw her son's appearance and gave her advice. Bloodstains, torn clothes and disheveled hair.


"Let us take care of your wife, son," added Mama Reni.


Akmal nodded. But before going home, he approached Arumi and kissed her forehead. The two old men smiled. He saw how sorry Akmal was to his wife.


"I tipped Arumi," said the man who was greeted by a nod by others. Akmal stepped out. He's back at his house. His mind and heart were not calm.


******


Arriving at home, Akmal sees the chaos. The dried blood was scattered. It was a trace or proof that how his wife was looking. Tight chest. The man was only able to sigh.


Akmal entered the room. She saw her picture frame with Arumi break. He took the photo, separating it with a shard.


He stared with a pus. Swab it and keep it in the safest place. Before taking a shower, the man cleaned his house. I don't want people to see the chaos.


Almost 2 hours he cleared up his patience to the end. Then Akmal took the water in the container and exited the terrace. He watered Arumi's beloved flowers and cleaned the edges of the pot.


Akmal looked back at the rose. Flowers that bear witness to the love of the woman. "Arumi's sick. Pity ... his leg was hurt because of me."


Akmal speaks for himself. As if waiting for a reply from the flower but never visited.


Akmal held onto the rose which gave off a calming scent. A moment later, he came in. The man took a shower. Akmal cleansed his entire body with cold water. Long enough, none of them were missed.
