The First Night of Cana (Angel Without Wings)

Crushed

Jihan and Heru got married at a young age. They were found in a match. Over time, however, love grows between the two. When they got married they were young. Jihan was 20 years old and Heru was 23 years old and had just graduated from college.

Jihan who was born from a family of being had to start all from scratch with Heru, a simple and unpretentious man. During the 36 years of marriage there were no significant problems. Both of them live happily especially with the presence of two boys who are equally handsome.

Although the two children have lived alone and only occasionally return home, but did not make them break communication. Heru who looks so love Jihan and vice versa became a couple that many others envy to see her.But who would have thought all destroyed in the blink of an eye once Heru's affair was uncovered.

Jihan's hands were still trembling as she grasped a piece of the photo. His heart was broken between disbelief and shock with what happened, Laras was silent with a pale face while Heru looked panicked and confused. Not much different from Jihan, the parents of Laras were no less shocked. They did not expect the only child puppet that they had been proud to be able to do it all. Ferddy could only stay in his place trying to accept this state of affairs.

"Why are you the same with me, Mom?" Jihan finally made a sound, her voice trembling withstanding the sobs. Heru tried to get closer, his outstretched hand touching Jihan's arm but violently Jihan brushed it off. She was disgusted at the thought that the hand had touched another woman's body, she was disgusted with her own husband.

"I'm sorry Jihan. I can't help myself. I was wrong." Heru lowered his head, he admitted he was wrong but Heru could not escape the charm of Laras. The little girl that he had originally thought of as a child over time made him waver. Laras who needs the affection of a father who lives far apart from him often comes to see him or just meet on the phone and that is almost every day. Making a sense of comfort in Heru's heart that does need attention because sometimes Jihan is busy with her own world and her children are busy with their respective affairs. Heru is lonely and falls in love with the beautiful and energetic Laras. In addition, Laras still usually gives him a child because after giving birth Ferddy Jihan's uterus is problematic and must be removed even though he still wants a daughter.

"How long has it been?" jihan asked without looking at her husband. Heru silenced as well as Laras.

"I asked you how long?!" exclaiming Jihan half-screaming made Heru and Laras gasp in shock.

"One year," answered Heru softly his eyes did not dare to look at the eyes of Jihan who nimbly drew towards him.

"One year? One year you had an affair with a woman who deserved to be your son?! Tega you, Mas! It's tega!!" Jehan hysterically, he beat Heru in the chest with explosive rage.

Ferddy, intent on separating the two, chokes off when Joddy gives him a cue to stay in place. Joddy just wanted to give her mother time to let out all the anger on her husband.

"I'm sorry Jihan. I'm in love with Laras. I want a child from him, Jihan." Heru looked at Jihan full of regrets.

Jihan looked at Heru in disbelief, what did she say? In love with Laras? Want children?

"What's? I didn't hear wrong? You want a child, and then because I can't give birth, you make an excuse to cheat? Depraved you, Mas!"Jihan throws a pillow at Heru's face just like that.

"And you!" point Jihan at the Barrel looking at Jihan coldly.

"You've been considered as my own child even I've betrothed to my favorite child, but what do you do? You can have an affair with my husband, get pregnant with him even you can trap my son. Depraved you both." Jihan slapped Barrel's cheek out loud as an outpouring of emotion.

"But don't shut up. Tell me this is not true!" Hana shook the shoulders of Laras who was only silent with the palm of her hand holding the cheek that Jihan had just slapped.

Laras looked at his mother then looked at Laras sharply. "really. I was having an affair with your husband. And it's your own fault, Jihan. You don't take good care of your husband." Baras smiled obliquely like there was no regret at all with what he had done.

"Well, despite our plan to frame your son to marry me to keep our relationship safe, it failed but trust me. Heru will stay with me." Baras smiled triumphantly making everyone in the room look at him in surprise.

Malik and Hana were astonished to hear the words of Laras that were beyond their expectations.

"Take off Joddy's mother. Let me teach that bitch a lesson!" Jihan screams in frustration trying to let go of her son's hug. The barrel that Hana helped wake up was laughing mockingly towards Jihan.

"You kill me though, won't make your husband come back to you, Jihan. She'll pick me because I'm pregnant with her son." Laras made a tidying motion of her hair and then looked at Jihan again.

"As long as you know Jihan, your husband always says I'm a great woman in everything, including bed. He always asked me more than twice with Jihan. How about you?" taunting Laras then laughing out loud.

Jihan's hands clenched and then when Joddy's hand grip grabbed him, he approached Laras and grabbed his hair firmly pulled his hand and pushed Laras' body to the floor without being prevented by anyone.

"Enough, Jihan! You could hurt his son!" Heru suddenly runs and protects Laras' body from the possibility of Jihan's rampage.

Seeing that, Jihan's heart ached. It was like being torn apart and then thrown away. So hurt. Men who have been struggling with her in joy and sorrow now prefer other women.

"You prefer him to me, your wife who accompanies you even when you are at the bottom, Mas? Huh?!" Jihan tried to pull Heru's hand but the 50-plus-year-old slightly brusquely brushed off Jihan's hand and hugged Laras' suddenly fragile body in Heru's arms.

Seeing that Jihan was completely destroyed. It was as if thousands of swords were raining down on his heart, making his world collapse.

"I'm sorry Jihan. Ii'm sorry. I love you. But-but Laras needs me too. " Heru stared at Laras who somehow suddenly looked fragile in Heru's arms.

Jihan fell silent. Suddenly his tongue was. His cheeks were wet from earlier by tears that he was unable to hold anymore. The husband she had known for decades, now looked foreign in front of her.

Jihan laughed inwardly to her stupidity. Supposedly, he suspected why all this time Heru looked more romantic to him. Always give him gifts and almost every week take him for a walk. Jihan should be suspicious why lately her husband looks different with a new appearance like a young boy. Jihan thought it was because Heru wanted to make her happy. But in fact, Heru did that for another woman. A woman who is more deserving of being his son than his partner.

"Go from before me! Go all of you!!!" drive Jihan away with a furious rage. Heru raised the body of Laras who suddenly limp.

"Jihan we'll talk about later. I'll take Laras to the hospital first. I love you, Jihan." Heru rushes to take Laras' body away from Ferddy's house. Likewise with both parents who can not do anything. Hana wants to apologize, but Joddy prevents her and signals them to leave Ferddy's house.

"Mom, I'm sorry Joddy." Joddy hugged Jihan from behind trying to strengthen the broken-looking middle-aged woman.

"Why is your father evil, Mommy." Jihan cries in Joddy's arms.

"Mother!" Ferddy who had been silent since then finally joined Joddy to hug his sobbing mother.

"There's still Joddy and Ferddy, Mom" whispered Joddy to calm the mother. Just look at Laras, one day you will get a reply.
