That Other Woman... I

WLIA 08

For two days Abhimanyu at the house of Laras' father, in these two days Abhimanyu even asked for leave and handed over all business affairs in his right hand, Andri.

Abhimanyu wanted to focus on taking care of his problems with Laras first. He wants to regain Laras' trust because he also doesn't lie if he wants to divorce Sarah. That intention was already unanimous in Abhimanyu's heart. She felt that Sarah would never change. And forever will think only of herself and will never be concerned about her marriage let alone their only child, Cindy.

Today is a routine health check-up schedule Syarifudin father Laras and Abhimanyu himself who drove his father-in-law to the hospital which is located quite far from their village.

Laras and his mother Indriyani did not come because they had to prepare the graduation ceremony of Laras' sister Saipul. Because Saipul has graduated from Junior High, Abhimanyu wants to give thanks by eating together with all the villagers.

While busy cooking, Wulan approached Laras who was cleaning banana leaves. While putting the sticky rice dough that had been steamed, Wulan sat next to Laras.

"Laras, this is the strength. Where's the abon?" ask Wulan.

But when Wulan asked like that, Laras still looked towards the banana leaves and continued to clean them with a rag. Wulan only realized that since then only the banana leaves that Laras hold. Wulan let out a long sigh realizing that her best friend was daydreaming.

"Clearned!" call Wulan while touching Laras's arm.

Laras looked directly at Wulan's hand and then at Wulan.

"Wulan, what's wrong?" tanya Laras who increasingly makes Wulan sure that actually Laras is daydreaming.

Wulan realizes that her best friend is in trouble, but she does not expect that she has been with her husband for two days, she has not been able to solve her problems. Because their place was crowded, Wulan also chose not to discuss Laras' personal problems.

"Nothing, I asked where the demon was!" answer Wulan.

The barrel immediately rounded his mouth to form the letter O, then he opened some banana leaves in front of him. His hand immediately grabbed the two packs of cow ashes that were under the pile of banana leaves and gave them to Wulan.

"It's Wulan, sorry I was...!"

Before Laras continued his words, Wulan had already patted the back of his best friend's hand and smiled.

"It's okay. Everything will be fine. You and your family are good people. God must have helped us solve all these problems!" said Wulan who is very understanding of the problem Laras.

They also together make a traditional cake made from steamed glutinous rice and abon wrapped beautifully using banana leaves. After all was ready and all the food was ready and Abhimanyu and Sharifudin had returned from the hospital the event began, the prayer and meal together.

"Fortunately, Mr. Udin has a rich and kind-hearted ghost, a house in the building, a factory is also built, all villagers have jobs. May God repay all the kindness of Laras' husband!" said a middle-aged woman with a kebaya and folds of cloth over her head.

"Amen!" said an old grandmother who was trying hard to chew the food on her plate.

The barrel that heard all that closed his eyes. Everyone loved and admired her husband. What happens if everyone here knows what really happened.

"There's something I need to talk to you about dad's health!" abhimanyu said then walked first to their room.

Laras who was so worried about his father immediately followed Abhimanyu's steps.

When the two of them had entered the room and were sitting in the money seat in the room, Abhimanyu placed a brown map on the table.

"So, this is the result of the father's health check!" abhimanyu.

The barrel that looked at the map then towards Abhimanyu's face felt a little anxious. The problem is Abi looks sad.

Quickly Laras hand immediately grabbed the brown map and opened it.

Laras read carefully, and he thought his father's health was fine. But as soon as he got to the back yard, and saw the note from the doctor who examined his father Laras looked anxious like Abhimanyu.

"Mas, is this... dad?" ask Laras who wants to listen to the explanation from Abhimanyu about the doctor's note.

The note contains, if Mr. Syarifudin must always be in a stable emotional state. Something that surprises him or makes him angry, sad and emotional overload can be fatal to him.

"True Laras, your father's condition is back like a year ago, he should not be tired, emotional and also stressed. Or it will be very fatal" explained Abhimanyu who immediately made the eyes of Laras glazed.

'I'm sorry Laras, I'm actually fine. That's what the medical report says. Forgive me for lying to you again to keep you by my side. I love you so much, Laras!' inner Abhimanyu.

That's what happened actually, while doing a health check, the condition of Syarifudin has gradually improved and has greatly recovered from the accident a year ago. But when they were about to return to the car, Abhimanyu asked his father-in-law to wait in the car for a while because Abhimanyu told him that something was left behind. But Abi actually saw a doctor and asked to make additional notes on the medical report. Abi reasoned that it was all to help him, the doctor who knew Abi was following Abhimanyu's request. And be the note that is put behind Syarifudin's medical report.

The barrel that was already unable to hold back his cries could only lower his head and squeeze the note paper from the doctor.

"But I don't want to be another woman, mas!" lirih Laras who couldn't help feeling so sad and dilemma.

If he didn't say all that to his father, then his father would have thought the Laras household was fine. But if he tells you the problems he is facing then the safety of the father is at stake.

Abhimanyu then stood up and hugged Laras from behind.

"Trust me Laras, tomorrow I will return to town B. Then I'll divorce Sarah. You will not be another woman. I love you so much, I wouldn't be able to live without you!" said Abhimanyu who continued to kiss the top of the head Laras made Laras go awry and did not know what to do.
