The New Chapter Of My Life

Episode 2 Cheating

Later that night, Tyo and Dona sleep as usual in the same bed, but before that, Dona speaks one eye to Tyo about his arrival.

"Mas, I'm asking for help, as long as I'm here, please don't call or see him. Although I don't know who he is, but I ask that we focus on the problem. If I'm so guilty and I don't know what I did wrong, I'm sorry, but please explain to me. If I have to come back here again, I'll be back, the kids leave it in Jogja, until the end of this semester."

"We should sleep, it's night, you must be tired, I'm tired too. We'll talk again tomorrow" Tyo said without responding to Dona's words.

A few hours later, Dona wakes up and finds that Tyo is not there. He saw the clock on the wall of his room, showing four o'clock in the morning. Before long, Tyo was seen coming out of the bathroom and had been dressed neatly.

"Where are you going, Mas?" ask Dona.

"There's business for a while, I'll be back around seven" Tyo replied.

"The dawn prayer is in the mosque?"

"Yes, I'll be in the mosque later, I'll go first. Assalamu'alaikum" said Tyo who immediately came out

" Wa'alaikumsalam's. "

There was something different about Tyo, which Dona had been feeling since that phone call, that is the name mas he used to call himself when talking to Dona and the word affection for his call to Dona is no longer heard. Dona can only take a breath and then pray Tahajud while waiting for the dawn prayer.

After the dawn prayer, as usual Dona will go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. But when he noticed the rented house he used to live with Tyo, it was out of the habit of Tyo. Tyo who has an allergy to dust will let out his protests if he finds the house dirty, dusty and messy. He realized, even the sheets used were sheets that Tyo never liked.

Although Dona felt the awkwardness, but she was still Dona the housewife, who would prepare all the needs in her house. He tidied as necessary, then he headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

At around 6:30 a.m., Dona had finished cooking breakfast and tidied up her room a little. Tyo soon returns, but he is not alone, but with a woman whom Dona does not know. Dona's heart was beating fast, he immediately went into the room.

He soon realizes his unbathy appearance and kitchen-scented, but that's not what makes him enter the room, last night he had clearly told Tyo not to call or see his mistress during his stay in Jakarta, but this morning he firmly brought the woman into his house.

Tyo approached Dona, Dona took Tyo's hand and placed it over her chest, so that Tyo could feel the beating of her heart beating very fast.

"You ain't pa-pa, you ain't pa-pa," that's all Tyo said, and then he lightly invited Dona to meet her affair without even thinking about Dona's feelings at the time.

Dona was with strength coming from nowhere, as soon as Tyo heard him say he was okay, his body alarm followed.

He was calm, even looking very calm. He then meets Tyo's affair in the family room located in front of his room.

He saw the woman sitting next to Tyo. Tyo then let Dona sit down and Tyo took a chair to sit in front of the two of them.

"Include me, Uma" said the woman, introducing herself.

"Sir, how the hell is that? having a good husband is like gini but not taken care of!" hardik Tyo's affair that makes Dona surprised, but he chose silence. He wanted to hear what Uma would say next.

"Suami Mbak tuh handsome, good but Mbak kok did not care for the husband instead left alone. Ma'am, if you're the wife, you should obey the husband, stay with the husband, not stay with the parents!"

There are still many more words Uma who cornered Dona, but Dona remained silent did not answer, he beristighfar in the heart, so that he was not provoked emotions.

After Uma finished speaking, Dona began her turn.

"Sorry but I don't know who you are, besides Tyo is my husband, what business do you meddle with my problem with my husband?"

Before Dona could continue his sentence, Uma again attacked Dona.

"Mbak, I'm not grateful to have a husband like your husband, ... "

Dona could no longer hear the words uttered from Uma's mouth.

"Sorry, I don't know who you are and I have nothing to do with you. I'm here is my business with my husband, not you" Dona said, cutting out Uma's sentence.

Then Tyo grasped Uma's hand, Dona who automatically saw him rebuked him, "And you, why hold her hand ?! not the mahram !"

"And again, I never had contact with Tyo before Ijab kabul !"

Hearing Dona's words, Tyo let go of her grasp, while Dona continued her defense.

"Whatever happens between me and my husband, it's none of your business, you don't know me, you know me also from my husband's mouth and I don't know what he's saying about me being true or not!"

Tyo grabs Dona's hand to calm her down but Dona pulls her hand.

"I never used to date, we immediately proposed and then got married. Are you married now?" ask Dona.

"Not yet" replied Tyo.

"Oo means dating dong, zina? waaa is great!"

"Eee mbak don't be reckless!" Uma protest.

"Lho trus what dong? marriage is not yet, but it's already a hand-hold. Ma'am, zina is of various levels, zina eyes, heart or yang..," Dona did not continue his words because he knew the effect it would have.

But Tyo and Uma froze at the sound of Dona's attack. A moment of silence ensued, until Dona took her breath, before continuing her attack.

"Here you are, my man, your responsibility dong, choose me, him or both !"

"Well, you can't do that, ma'am!" Uma protest.

"Lho, how can you? I give you my choice, I'm still his rightful wife. I still have rights over my husband" replied Dona.

"But we can't break up, our relationship has gone too deep" replied Uma and approved by Tyo.

In Dona's heart, it felt like he said rudely, too deeply in your ndas! too deep! the well is still in the briskness of you two there, and never have to appear again !

But Istighfar had made him not utter it.

"After that. I will not interfere in the affairs of the two of you" said Dona.

Hearing Zalfa's voice, Tyo immediately went into the room and then carried Zalfa out to be reunited with Uma.

Zalfa, who was still sleepy, ran back into the room, before Uma could hold it.

Dona is grateful that Zalfa quickly shied away from that 'magic grandmother.

Then Tyo looked towards the clock on the wall that had shown it at half-eight.

"Eh, it's eight o'clock, I'm getting ready to go to the office first!" said Tyo in a hurry.

Tyo immediately went inside his room to prepare.

Dona follows Tyo into his room, but what he does not expect to happen, Uma follows him into the room, before he closes the door and casually approaches Zalfa.

Dona let Uma, because she wanted to hear what she was going to say.

"Hi, what's her name ? acquaintance dong?" ask Uma.

Zalfa did not answer and reacted.

"Kok silent, uh aunt also has a child the age of Zalfa you know, her name is Nara, sometime play together yaa."

Zalfa remained sculpted, still not reacting. Seeing this, Dona hugged Zalfa.

"Honey, this aunt wants acquaintance." said Dona.

Zalfa shook her head strongly and at that moment Dona felt a great anger from within her youngest daughter. He felt a very fast heartbeat coupled with his hands clenched behind his body.

"Sorry Aunt, Zalfa just woke up, can you excuse me Auntie yes," said Dona while closing and locking the door of her room that made Uma out by herself.

Whether the power from which Dona got, so that he can control his emotions so well, could it be because of the unbroken istighfar he said during the trip yesterday?

Then, Dona hugged Zalfa tightly, to ease the emotions that her daughter felt. He felt the pounding of his heart and his rapid breathing, signaling his angry emotions. Dona stroked Zalfa's back and whispered a sentence of istighfar in his ear. Slowly Dona could feel, Zalfa's heartbeat began to return to normal and his fist had been opened

At that time, Dona hoped that Zalfa would not listen to anything that happened in the living room. He hoped that Zalfa would not know what was happening.

Meanwhile, Tyo had been preparing to head to the office. Then, without breakfast he immediately went with his mistress.

After Tyo left, Dona's defensive wall collapsed, her body shaking violently. The crying broke unstoppably again, he just sat still still in a state of trying to digest the incident just now. Zalfa watched her mother cry.

Once she was able to control her emotions, Dona immediately contacted her mother in Jogja.

"Mom, Tyo cheated, this morning he brought his affair home, I was attacked, Zalfa also saw, Mom," said Dona sobbing.

"Astaghfirullahalazim, Tyo what, cheating?"

"Yes Ma'am, he brought his affair to meet me this morning, but I have asked not to meet or call his affair, even this morning he brought it home," sobs Dona continued to flow not stop.

"You have calmed down, Istighfar. You call Tyo's mom, tell him, his mom needs to know!"

"Good, Mom."

After calling her mother, Dona immediately contacted her in-laws who live in Bekasi. Dona told me everything from the beginning he left for Jakarta to his meeting with Uma.

No less heart-wrenching reaction from the crying in-law, "Oh Allah, Tyo ! why ? why kamuuu!?"

Dona's tears came back unstoppable hearing her in-laws' cries. Then he immediately realized, there was Zalfa who had been watching him. He immediately stopped the phone to his father-in-law.

Then after being able to control his emotions and regulate his breathing, Dona returned to being a strong mother like nothing happened.

"Eh Zalfa, take a yuk bath, let's have breakfast. This morning, I cooked Zalfa's favorite fried rice" Zalfa said, leading her to the bathroom.

That day, Dona with all her remaining strength, tidied up the room and cleaned the house as best she could. During the day, Dona's father called.

"So you called Tyo, you told him to go home to Jogja as soon as possible, he said he wanted to check the tickets this afternoon, hopefully later in the afternoon you can go home."

"Well, sir," said Dona relieved.

"You don't think about it, remember there's Zalfa there, what he sees and hears will be recorded, maybe he doesn't understand, but he can feel, so you calm down. Father and mother are best for both of you."

"Well, sir, shukron," replied Dona.

At about twelve in the afternoon, Tyo called Dona, "We're back in Jogja tonight, I've got a ticket at half-seven."

"Good, Mas."

Dona tidied up her belongings again and prepared to return to Jogja and that afternoon, Tyo returned home to bring food for Dona and Zalfa.

"Eat first, I want to rest" said Tyo before entering the room to rest and soon he fell asleep.

Two hours later, Tyo had returned neatly and was preparing to return to the office.

"Let's go by five o'clock at the latest, I try to be at home at four o'clock, you get ready. I'm leaving now."

"Mas, you want to split up? Is it not love anymore?" ask Dona while pulling Tyo's hand.

"We talk later, now you just rest first, I go to the office," said Tyo while releasing the hand of Dona from his arm. Then, Tyo drove his car to the office.

As promised, Tyo had arrived home after Ashar. Then he helped Dona tidy up her things.
