THE HIDDEN MENTARY

OTHER UNIVERSE

There was fear creeping through my body as this woman in front of me violently tried to break through the barricade made by Mr. Hadi.

This is not really a TV drama. But this is the reality that I see in front of my eyes, even I am one of the cast.

God, what is this ordeal? My fear of being accused of being an actor by Bang Arka's neighbor or my fear about being in the wine around the village, now seems to evaporate somewhere. The one in front of me is much more terrifying. Super duper scary!

PERGGOK LEGITIMATE WIFE WHO IS PREGNANT WHILE SHE IS LYING IN THE HOUSE OF THE HUSBAND.

Hah, I feel like I'm watching a drama on TV that Mama often watches in the afternoon and evening. I shook my head to shake off my wild thoughts.

"Go you! Why are you defending that damn woman?" Hardik Bang Arka's.

My body trembled at his blaring voice. I tried to make a sound but there was nothing I could get out. I want to run and dodge, but won't that be a new problem?

I took a deep breath, trying to calm down all my worries. Well, I'll face it, I don't want Bang Arka to get into more trouble either, especially if it's because of me.

I cleared my throat, which was really no problem.

"Ehm Mas Hadi, just let Mas." My words were trying to get Mr. Hadi to keep his body away from the doorway.

Mr. Hadi looked at me as if looking for certainty in my eyes. I nodded in response. Mr. Hadi immediately got rid of his body and moved out of the room.

"Hi Ma'am. I'm Kay. Sorry, I slept recklessly in your house. I didn't mean anything. I'm just on break." I speak as softly as I can. My eyes clearly showed fear. My tears as much as I can bear. Cih, don't cry at times like this, Kay.

"You!" Bang Arka's wife's voice slashed my eardrum, "why are you here? What's your relationship with my husband?" Further.

I jerked. Although I knew it would be like this the view of people towards me, but when I heard it directly I was still surprised. My heart became uncontrollable, beating irregularly.

"Calm Mom, I can explain. I really have nothing to do with Bang Arka. I'm just-" I'm hanging up my sentence. Instantly I was confused as to what to introduce myself as or how to introduce myself.

Suddenly my brain is dazed. Confused by my own questions and questions. I was confused to explain to him. Let alone explaining to Bang Arka's wife, my existence here alone has confused myself to be difficult to explain.

"You're just what? Huh huh? You cheated?" Ask Bang Arka's wife without a trite ado.

My eyes widened to hear all his words. Well, so it feels like this huh, painful turns out. It felt like my heart was squeezed, slashed and given a squeeze of lime. Though I am not the perpetrator, but it still hurts when I hear the accusation.

"Eh not mb, no. Listen to me first." My voice sounded panicked, Mr. Hadi who looked at me panicked.

I took a deep breath and turned my eyes to Mr. Hadi, just wanting to tell him that I was okay. When I looked at Mr. Hadi, I saw behind the door that there was another male figure who was watching me closely. Who her? I was suddenly afraid of his eyes.

"What should I listen to? And what do you have to explain? Isn't it clear you're at my husband's house? If not cheating then what? Are there any good women coming alone to the man's husband's house?"

Degs.. Degs.. Degs..

I shed tears. Very painful words Bang Arka's wife. But I cannot argue. All of that is true, very true. I was wrong, I didn't know the rules, I overstepped the lines.

Bang Arka's wife only protects hers. And my whereabouts here cannot be explained with certainty. What am I here for? And what right do I have here?

My heart was momentarily heartbroken. This isn't my place, this isn't my area. I need to get out immediately. I have to clear my own name. To hell with all my heartache, my pride is more important to save.

"I didn't come here with that intention, Ma'am. I'm just a kid who's been helped by Bang Arka. I'm a nobody. I'm worthless to Bang Arka." I opened my voice when I was able to master my tears and my heart. I took a deep breath and continued my words.

"I know, Bang Arka loves you very much, Ma'am. And just so you know, I love other people too, but not Bang Arka. I have a heart too. When I don't want mine taken by someone else, I can make sure I won't take anyone else's."

"I'm sorry for making you misunderstand. I really have no relationship. True said Mas Hadi, I am only Bang Arka's sister. At least that's how we feel. There's no connection whatsoever to your suspicions, Ma'am."

"Alright, because the owner of this house has come. Then I decided to go home first, Mother. I just came here to tell Bang Arka that I received my diploma today." I'm trying to find an excuse.

Bang Arka's wife looked at me with a scornful look, clearly doubt emanating on her face.

"You think I'm a fool who believes everything you say? Where does the thief confess to the thief?" With cynicism Bang Arka's wife replied to me.

"It's up to you to believe it or not. But that's the truth. If you don't believe me, please ask Bi Sumi and Mas hadi." I try to explain patiently.

"Huh? Sumi Bi? Mr Hadi? You know everything that works here. Do you think I'm not getting suspicious about your relationship?" Hardik Bang Arka's wife to me.

I'm sure my face is now pale. My brain just feels frozen, will somehow argue with what words again now.

"Because they helped me that night." I tried to explain the beginning of my story with Bang Arka at the beginning.

"What's? That night? What did you do with my husband that night ******?" Bentak wife Bang Arka.

Alright. This seems to be my lowest point. It's the end of my defense. This is the limit of my patience. I can't hold it anymore. Collapse is my defense, destroyed already the fortress that I built.

My tears fell down profusely upon hearing the pregnant woman's displeasure. My heart aches, hurts more when I see Danen on top of Cindy, my best friend.

"Sorry Ma'am, I'm not****** as you said. I'm just an ordinary girl. My parents always taught me to respect others, especially the older ones. But if the respected don't know the rules like you, then I don't want to respect." I'm still trying to hold back my anger. I intended to explain everything from the beginning when Bang Arka's wife suddenly approached me and asked in a cynical manner.

"You talk too much for a love-sitter. So, you're the one who accompanies him every night? You've been touching her body every night? Don't you realize you won't get it forever. Because what? Because I'm not gonna let go."

"Our status is clearer and there is a child who will bind us. As for you, once my husband is satisfied with your body, he will throw you away, dumping you like a piece of junk." Bang Arka's wife said sharply as her finger pointed right at my face.

So this is your wife Bang? Who is your love always looking after? But Bang, his mouth is really very venomous! How can you stand facing it?

I shuddered to imagine every day Bang Arka heard her deafening scolding. I was immediately sorry and did not accept if Bang Arka to experience it.

"The mother is pregnant you know, keep the talk of Mbak. People say, it's not good like that when you're pregnant." I'm still trying to be patient and talk on the sidelines of my prank.

"I really have nothing to do and not what you're accusing me of. If Ma'am doesn't believe me, can we go to the Hospital now to check if I'm still a virgin or have a hole? I'm willing to do all that." I get so excited when I say it. Somehow this pain is increasing when he saw the gaze of Bang Arka's wife getting sharper.

My minimalist brain keeps thinking, is there something wrong with the choice he said? Or am I hearing wrong? Can't he not know basic biology?

"It's obviously useful, Ma'am, if you want to come with me to the Hospital to check my virginity status, then you'll know I'm a virgin or not. If I'm a virgin, that means all the Ma'am's accusations against me are just nonsense." I refute all his words.

Bang, is this really your wife? Why was she suddenly stupid and did not understand the meaning of virginity. Isn't she a woman too? I kept looking at Bang Arka's wife's face with many questions on my mind. Bang Arka's wife's face immediately looks red holding back her anger.

"What right do you have to teach me about all that? All I know is, you've ruined my household. You caused my husband to leave the house and leave me and our son. You're troublemakers. You took my husband." Wife Bang Arka screaming hysterically.

"Aawws.." Suddenly Bang Arka's wife grimaced in pain.

Waduh mampus! If she gives birth now, I can be beaten up by everyone. I thought I was causing all this. Uh but not all the root of today's problems because of my existence. Hah, right, it all comes from me. But I'm not an actor and I'm not a bad woman. I'm a nice girl who just missteps by sleeping in the house of another guy who's the guy's husband.

Really Bang, I have no bad intentions towards you. Even to the point of destroying your household. That was not all in my mind at all. You know for yourself, Bang, I love who and I just need peace of mind over all the trouble that's beenfalling me.

"Bak, what's wrong, Ma'am? Why are you, Mother? What hurts Mama? I'll call Bang Arka, wait a minute Ma'am." I moved towards Bang Arka's wife and held her bent body in pain. When I was about to turn around to pick up the phone in my bag, my arm was blocked by Bang Arka's wife's hand very strongly.

"You? Want to call my husband? You have no shame. You can call someone's husband right in front of his wife." Instantly the body of the pregnant woman in front of me stood straight as if she had never felt any pain. I widened my eyes, trying to clarify my vision.

"Never touch my husband's dirty hands. Or call my husband. Get you out of our lives." With a sigh the woman said.

"But Ma'am was in pain, I just wanted to help." I squeaked while feeling the pain in my arm.

"Basic teaser! Stop all your cipher. You won't be able to replace me." Her speech.

"I don't want to replace Ma'am. I just want to help." My answer.

"I don't need help from a dirty woman like you!" He screamed right in my face.

I'm sighing. My tears escaped. All right, I need to get the hell out of this house if I don't want to get hurt.

I immediately turned around and wanted to take my bag. I need to get out of this house. I want calmness, not even battered in hurtful words.

"Where are you going? Wanna run away, huh?" His shouting.

"I want to go home Ma'am, there's no point in me being here if you don't believe me. And I see, it looks like you're doing well." I satirized her after I saw that she was really not in pain at all. Hah the snake woman.

What the hell did you see of him, Bang? From the beginning of speaking, his mouth was already extremely venomous. I could immediately conclude that he had a rotten heart.

"What did you say? If there's anything to do with our son, you want to take responsibility?" His screams are getting louder.

I'm getting tired of his chatter. I just want to get out of here. Kay, you can, get rid of him right away. I give spirit to my own heart.

"Well I'll take responsibility, I'll have Bang Arka haunt me too." Your mouth Kay!! What do you think Mikhayla? How your brain thinks your mouth can say all that easily. The minimalist brain!

"What did you say?" Well Kay, look, you really woke up a sleeping lion.

Plaaaaack..

My left cheek immediately felt hot and painful. Here's your reply Kay. You've ransacked your own limits. You're the one who didn't keep your mouth. Ah but still, my heart feels so sick to get this slap. My tears are getting worse I think.

"Non Kay! Is it okay? Ma'am, would you please be polite, ma'am?" Mr. Hadi defended me. He immediately ran in front of me. His body became a living shield for me.

"Mas Hadi is calm. I'm it's okay. No one's hurt." I lie. I'm so hurt Mas Hadi. Injured inside and outside my body.

I'm the lyrics to that woman's face. He smiled with satisfaction after slapping me. The serpent woman. What a savage your behavior. I caught the figure of the man holding the woman's arm so as not to attack me anymore. Who the hell is he?

"Already ma'am, tuesday's fine. Don't play with your hands. I'll call Mr. Arka. Let Mr. Arka finish everything." Mr. Hadi is back.

"I have the right to slap a woman's face**** this. And you don't deserve to defend him. You're just a security guard! Not more. Go ye. I have the right to rule this house." Bang Arka's wife railed against Mr. Hadi.

Ah, it really sucks him. His mouth is really venomous. I don't know what poison he's been drinking, but every word that comes out of his mouth is very painful.

"Mas, don't take heart. Later try to call Bang Arka aja." I tried to calm Mr. Hadi who seemed to be holding back anger.

"Quiet Non. You're used to being demeaned like this." Mr. Hadi replied with a trembling voice.

"It's good that you know the position. Now get out of this house." His face while his finger pointed. His eyes stare at me and also Mr. Hadi.

I snorted, my annoyance was already unbearable. But I have to protect my heart. I better get out of here, than I'm getting sicker and can't help myself.

I flipped, put my feet up to the bed. I took my bag and said to Mr. Hadi.

"Take this house until Bang Arka comes home. Later Mas Hadi talked to Brother."

"Curtain, shameless woman. Act like you're the hostess of this house. I'm his legal wife, I'm entitled to anything in her. How dare you call Bang Arka? Don't try to tease him! Get the fuck out of here. Keep your filthy body away from my husband!" Hardik the snake woman to me.

I want to curse. Can I curse a pregnant woman? My mouth wanted to reply to her but I also realized my position. Again, my status is a weakness.

I immediately put my foot up. But not yet through the body of the snake woman, the sound of a baritone that I knew so well greeted my ears.

"Nobody can leave this house without my permission."

My body shakes. My tears melted shamelessly. You come Bang. You finally came. I really need you right now.

My entire heartache instantly burst onto the surface. The pain quickly called for attention. For some reason, right now I want to complain about all my frustrations. But luckily I was still able to hold back. I shut my mouth tight. My eyes say the opposite.

Bang, save me. Such was the speech of my eyes when I looked at Bang Arka.
