The Perfect Happiness

S2 - Eps 110

Still Jefri POV's.

I drove my car engine, headed for a bar. I don't know why my mind took me to that place. I feel like I want to let go of the fatigue in my brain. By drinking a few alcoholic drinks.

I don't know, my mind is so upset.

My car started to enter the basement parking lot of a building. Before getting out of the car I had a chance to hit the steering wheel hard. I was upset by what my wife did.

Unsuspectedly. Why would he cover everything?

I took my foot into an elevator, to get to the special floor for the bar. A building that facilitates entertainment.

The atmosphere of the room was much different from the night club which was directly above it again. This place is so quiet. I stepped into the chair in front of the bar table and ordered an alcoholic drink. Vodkas.

The bartender presented it quickly. With a single lift, I gulped down the contents in the sloki. Then I ordered it again. I really want to forget about that problem. Forget all the frustration. Until I finally became unconscious.

—————

Alex POV's.

I found Jefri already drunk with his upper half of his body lying on the bar table. There were some slogans that the bartender had just cleared up.

"How much is the total drink?" ask the bartender.

The brewer immediately gave the code to the cashier. A few minutes later the waiter came by showing him a piece of bill paper, proof of the order of whatever Jefri had spent.

I took out my wallet and took some red money and gave it to the cashier's maid. "Take it back."

I sighed, after the cashier's maid thanked her and went back to her place. Not because of that waitress I'm acting like this, but because of Jefri. Because seeing his current condition before me.

It is clear if he is moping. Even his mouth continued to rummage indistinctly. Spilling his frustration with the curse. Until I finally decided to carry him out of that place to his own car.

From inside her pants pocket, I got her car keys and pressed the alarm button to find out where the car parked. Then put it in the car, into the passenger seat.

Then I drove the car out of the parking lot where Lisa was waiting for me in my car. "He was drunk. We met at his house" I told Lisa who had a peek at Jefri's condition from behind the window.

"I'm coming from behind." Lisa got into my car and got ready to drive, followed from behind.

Along the way, I occasionally took a gulp, looking from the middle spoin glass. To make sure that Jefri was back there still lying down and not throwing up in his own car.

I shook my head. Didn't expect that in the end all of this would have to be revealed. I only found out about it a few hours ago, too. When Lisa called me, she asked me to find out where Jefri was.

Until finally, Max called Lisa while she was with me to find her sister-in-law. Max told us where Jefri was. Maybe if it was Tika who asked Max for help? I don't know.

What's clear for now is that I can't describe Jefri's condition. He's just drunk and luckily he doesn't play women like the other guys out there. And maybe, if I'm in his position right now, I don't know what I can do either.

***

Arriving at her home, Tika was already welcoming behind the front door. With the permission of my best friend's wife, I swept her in and threw her on her bed. Then let it be there. Still with that mess.

As soon as I got out of their room, my footsteps stopped. When I found the scene where Tika was crying sobbing in Lisa's arms. Then I stepped back to them.

"Young dong, Tik. Not gini. You must take care of your content. Check the cave tomorrow, huh? Temenin cave, huh?" Lisa tried to force her best friend to check her content.

Then I also explained to Tika. That Jefri went to that place just to have a drink on the bar floor. Not to get on the club floor. Jefri wasn't with a woman when I found her either.

Not long after that Tika's sister, Max, came. Tika who saw Max's presence at that moment immediately stood up, approached Max and hugged his brother tightly. Even several times I had heard Tika who expressed her regret to Max.

Many times Tika raised her fist on Max's chest. I noticed all that. Lisa and I couldn't do much to see the sadness of Tika who kept crying.

From all of those events, I just understood one thing. Tika and Jefri love each other so much that they are both so protective, afraid to hurt each other. And perhaps, Jefri had so much of a sense of regret.

I don't know. I dare not deduce anything from what I see now. Similarly to Lisa, she only helps to calm Tika down. Until finally I, Lisa and Max say goodbye. Allowing Tika to rest with her husband.

—————

After feeling calm and expressing all my irritation to Max. Finally he asked my permission to go home. I still respect him. He deserves to go home, back with his little family.

Max kissed my forehead, then said many times his guilt for talking to Jefri first and apologized to me. Because if it wasn't for the phone, maybe Jefri wouldn't have known and wouldn't have acted like this to me.

They finally came home and left me. When I closed the front door, my legs weakened and my body collapsed onto the floor. I can't stand facing my own husband. I was afraid that he would do something even more rude.

My tears have spilled back. Imagining the previous events as he pushed me. I admit, it was all my fault. I was wrong to have hidden this matter for too long. Even until I almost forgot about it. I was too focused on my fear of Dana's terror.

My sobs now I can no longer hold. Sitting on the floor, I cried. While stroking the two twins in my stomach. In my mind, how can I live my daily life until this child is born, if my husband's attitude is like this.

This was the first time we had a big fight. Until he had to pass the time to sit at the bar and spend a lot of drinks he was waiting for. Until finally had to be picked up by Alex because he was already in a state of heavy drunk.

I tried to stop my crying. Regulating my breathing patterns. Calm my heartbeat. So that I can stand up and move my feet towards the room. Seeing my husband's situation. I have to be strong, I have to be able to get through day by day. For the two twins I have.

Slowly with the help of the doorknob, I stood up. After earlier I wiped away the tears that had wet both corners of my cheeks.

"I must be strong" I cried as I stared and stroked my stomach.

I exhaled my breath. So many times that I think it's enough to calm my heartbeat. Then I put my foot into the room. Climbing one by one the stairs with trembling that I can still feel.

As I climbed the last step of the stairs, I could see Jefri who was already lying on the bed in his full clothes earlier. And a pair of shoes that are still attached to both feet.

Carefully, I approached him. Take off the shoes he still wears. Then grab a blanket to cover his body. The smell of alcohol was so pungent as he suddenly raved. Call my name and say back his disappointment.

I shed my tears while looking at her. Then with a difficult feeling for me to explain, I immediately grabbed my phone on the buffet and went back downstairs. Step into the side room and lock the door.

Crying on the bed curling my body. Regret the stupidity I've done to cover it all up. In fact, I began to feel tired with all the problems that always come. Not finished one problem, already appeared another new problem.

I stared at the clock on the table beside this bed, it was 2 in the morning. With tears still streaming down, I tried to close my eyes to rest. I finally fell asleep in tears.

***

The morning is approaching. The radiant sunlight, slipped in through the not-so-close gap of the curtains. Then the warmth greeted the skin of my face that was exposed to the light. Only the sound of my cell phone's notif continued to sound from earlier. It forced me to open my eyes and look at the contents of my phone. It was a short message from Lisa.

Lisa: What is your condition?

Me: I'm good. Thanks to Lis.

Lisa: Remember, your health and your children are more important than anything else. Guard that.

Me: Yes, I did.

Lisa: You guys just need some time, it's gonna be back to how it was. Everything will be fine.

No longer do I answer the chat from him. My eyes water again, shedding tears of regret. Then I got out of bed to make breakfast. But I could not believe it, as soon as I opened the door, Jefri was already standing down the stairs and glanced at me because he heard the sound of the bedroom door squeaking.

However, after that he continued down the stairs in his neat work clothes and then came out of the house, disappearing behind the front door. Without even approaching me what else is peeping at my forehead.

I stroked my stomach slowly, trying to brace myself for such an indifferent attitude.

Is this a reward I should accept?

Why does it feel so heavy, just because I'm late saying everything?

I gripped the door knob of the room and also the clothes that covered the surface of my stomach. I'm really sorry for all the decisions I've made.
