The Love of Stepchildren

Ballad Mouth Neighbors

On Sunday, Agus took the time to run in the morning at the park near his home complex. His breath was wheezing, a sign that at his age who was no longer young Agus could not do exhausting activities.

Agus sat on the park chair, wiping the sweat that poured profusely on his forehead because he was tired of running around the park seven times. Arrived, not far from her a group of Mother Mothers preached about Agus and his family.

"That's not a neighbor of RT's whose wife cheated on him with her own stepson?"

"Yes, right. He jogs alone, his wife is not invited,"

"Perhaps because of shame, rumors of the affair of his son and his wife have reached the public domain. Even the news reached Medsos,"

The deg...!

Agus's mind was like being hit by thousands of arrows. The news of Axel and Dinda's affair has spread everywhere, while Agus himself has not been able to find evidence whether the gossip is true.

Agus is embarrassed not to play, his good name has been polluted in the eyes of the community. What else if his business associates and employees knew, could die standing him.

Not wanting to continue hearing those heart-wrenching words, Agus returned home. There, he sees Dinda busy watering the flower plants and Axel is tinkering on his motorcycle.

"You two, come with me" ordered Agus. Dinda and Axel throw eyes at each other, then follow where Agus went.

In his personal room, Agus plans to interview Dinda and Axel. Whatever the answer of the two men, Agus was ready to hear it, including being ready to punish them.

"Are you two cheating?" Tukas Agus's.

"cheating? Listen where did you hear about the fake news? How can I cheat with my own stepdaughter?" Dinda tried to give. He is not ready to admit all his mistakes to Agus.

While Axel is silent, he is upset that Dinda is covering up the truth about their relationship.

"Currently, why is he lying? Just admit it, divorce the old man and marry me" Axel scolded in his heart.

"So you mean, the news isn't true?" Agus looked at Dinda and Axel in turn.

"That's not true" said Dinda. Axel just shut up and won't say a word.

"All right, I'll try to believe what you say. But don't be happy just yet, I'll keep an eye on you two." Agus Threat.

***

Agus left, his face looking red holding back in anger. While Dinda followed him from behind, tailing like a duck child losing its mother.

At this time Agus' heart was broken and disappointed, his dream to live a happy aging life with his young wife was lost. If the affair is true, all is not purely because of Dinda's fault but also his fault. He himself who does not know himself, is old still likes young leaves.

"Sir Agus, are you still mad at me?" Dinda sat down by her husband's side and touched the man's burly shoulders.

"Of course I'm angry, which man doesn't get angry at the gossip of his wife cheating on him with her own child?" Agus raised his voice.

Dinda cried, it was Dinda's last resort to reach out for her husband's sympathy. He lowered his face, showing disappointment and sadness because Agus did not believe his words.

She must be good at theatrics and shed crocodile tears if she wants to survive the anger and rage of her husband. Although so far, Agus has not shown any sign of violence against him.

"Well, if you don't believe me, that's your right. I will accept all that you all accuse me of with grace" Dinda got up from her seat. He opened the wardrobe, took the suitcase and put his clothes in it.

Agus was upset, his little wife was sulking and wanted to leave the house. Agus should be angry, this is why Dinda is angry? Women are difficult to understand, Agus stared while shaking his head.

"Where are you going?" Ask Agus.

"I want to go home to my parents,"

"I won't allow it!"

"Why do I stay here, my husband doesn't believe me?" Dinda looked at Agus sharply.

Agus gave up, he stopped his anger and started to soften at Dinda. He was too afraid of being left behind by Dinda, because he loved Dinda so much.

"I believe in you" said Agus lirih.

Dinda carved out a smile, she felt happy that her acting in front of Agus was successful. Indeed, Dinda does not want to lose Agus in the near future. Because the comfort and well-being of his life is so guaranteed since bearing the title of wife Agus.
