That Other Woman... I

WLIA 06

Laras went into his room after his parents asked him to meet the ashes and invited him to eat together. When entering her room, Laras saw her husband was tidying up the Laras clothes he had brought earlier, and separating the clean and dirty clothes.

The dirty ones were put in a basket of dirty clothes, and the clean ones were carefully stacked into the closet by Abi.

Baras quickly walked towards his bed next to the closet where Abhimanyu was tidying up his clothes. Barrel sat on the edge of the bed and his eyes looked at the floor.

"Mas, how long are you going to pretend in front of mom and dad?" ask Laras who is increasingly not calm his feelings.

Abhimanyu put down the clothes he was holding. And switch facing towards the barrel. He looked at his sad wife, then he walked slowly closer to Laras and crouched down in front of her.

"I know I was so cruel to you and your family, I lied to you. But my love for you and your family is not a lie. I really love you, and I really love your family!" abhimanyu explained to Laras.

"I have a reason why I hid this to you, I fell in love with you at first sight when I met you at that hospital, that feeling I've been trying to get rid of, but it can't. Do you remember me missing a month after your father came home from the hospital? that's when I tried to forget my love for you which I also realized was a wrong thing. But the more I try to forget you the more I remember you, the more I stay away from you, the more I suffer myself. I really love you Laras!" abhimanyu said softly.

What Abi said made Laras cry. Her tears are not held back, don't ask her how much she loves Abi. Because the answer was more than himself, the first man to make Laras fell in love with all the kindness and polite attitude at that time.

But on the other hand, Laras again remembered the child and also Abi's wife.

"Then what about your first wife? what about your son? you love them too, right? but you betrayed them, I even doubt you really understand what love is!" annoyed Laras then turned his gaze away from Abi.

Abhimanyu lowered his head, he himself realized that what he was doing was wrong. So whatever he said to the wife in front of him would never sound right even if what Abi said was true.

"You're right. I am a liar, a traitor. But if you tell your parents now that you want a divorce with me. What will happen to them? or what will they do?" abi asked who was starting to sound selfish.

Laras just kept silent, he himself did not know whether his parents would believe him or not. Seeing Laras silent, Abi slowly sat on the floor. He crossed his legs and sat cross-legged in front of Laras.

"My marriage to Sarah 7 years ago happened because our parents betrothed us. Sarah and I don't love each other, but I'm trying to love her..!"

Deg

Baras' heart ached when she heard what her husband said. He then recalled what the people at the hotel said back then.

If it feels like hearing her husband say like that alone is very sick, let alone accept the fact that the husband has betrayed her and married another woman. The barrel closed his eyes making his tears flow down his cheeks.

"But after Cindy was born, our household was not getting better but getting into fights and...!"

"That's all just your defense, isn't it? you will also say that if you find another woman and marry her, you will also blame me and tell me about the ugliness of our household!" sela Laras who increasingly did not want to hear an explanation from Abi.

"I don't want to hear you, did you know that my father and mother knew I was honey from another woman, what would they be like? how can we deal with society?" ask Laras.

Abi was silent for a moment.

"Well, I'm going to divorce Sarah!" abi said that made Laras even more incredulous.

Laras looked at her husband with a completely incredulous look.

"What did you say?" ask Laras who looks so sad.

"I'm going to divorce Sarah, I'm going to be honest with my family and I'm going to take care of the divorce with Sarah as soon as possible!" abhimanyu.

Laras is confused, he really feels very guilty to Sarah if until Abhimanyu wants to divorce Sarah for Laras.

"You really have a heart, what about your son if you get divorced. Didn't you think about all that? I want to part with you, then just divorce me!" yell Laras who is getting upset.

Abhimanyu stood up quickly.

"If that's what you want, then you'll never get it. I will never divorce you!" said Abi who immediately chose to leave their room.

Laras could only cry at the decision of her husband who seemed very selfish.

While Abhimanyu who had come out of his room rushed towards the backyard of the house, he vented all his frustration and regret by hoeing the land of the backyard of Laras' father who would indeed make it as a garden. Laras' father, who waited a long time at the dinner table, finally sought the whereabouts of his son-in-law. And it turns out he saw Abi was in his backyard.

"Son Abi, eat first. Geez son, let me do it, son Abi don't hold the hoe!" said Laras Ayng's father immediately approached Abi and also took the hoe held by Abi.

"Son Abi wasn't hurt, was he?" asked Laras' father who even looked at Abi's palms and checked whether his son-in-law's hands were scuffed or not.

Abi could feel such great affection from both of Laras' parents.

'Alas, if your parents can keep you with me. Then I will make both of your parents your reason to stay with me!' abi's mind obeys his selfishness.
