THE PERPETRATOR (You Cheated, I'm Two)

I'm Not Cheating

A 30-year-old man was sitting in a wheelchair and advancing his electric chair towards the living room. "Jenni, do you know where Emily is?" she asked Jennifer for the whereabouts of her wife.

"Jenni, where are you? have you seen Emily?" shouted back.

The person he called hurriedly approached the man. "Sorry sister, I don't know where Emily is and from this morning I didn't see her."

The man sharpened his hearing and he turned his head where Jennifer was. "Where is he, since last night I haven't heard his voice?"

Jenni was pushing a wheelchair by the name of Andrian. "Maybe the same lover again," said Jenni ngasal.

"You don't just talk, Jen. She's my wife and I know she can't betray me."

"As far as Andrian's brother is concerned or not what matters is that I as a sister have told him what I have seen," replied Jenni brought Andrian near the dinner table and they had breakfast together.

Kanaya has been in the hospital for three days and Jihan has always accompanied Kanaya. Marko himself has been looking for Tristan but there is no result and no Tristan is still inactive.

"When can I go home? I'm tired of being here all the time" asked Naya, who was sitting on the patient's bed.

"Said the doctor, this afternoon you can go home. You go home to Mama's, will ya?" tanya Jihan peels an orange for Naya.

"I'm going home to Mas Tristan, Mah. I don't want Mas Tristan getting angry if I'm at Mama's house" replied Naya taking the orange that Jihan gave her.

"But, Nay. You just recovered and you don't move much. At Tristan's house you do a lot of homework."

"It would be even more sinful if I left home without my husband's permission. Although Mas Tristan betrayed me I want him to come back to me and leave the woman he cheated on."

Jihan rubbed the back of Naya's hand that was on her thigh. "At a time like this you still think of Tristan. Mama's lucky to have a child like you."

"I'm also lucky to have a Mom and Dad who love me" Naya replies in tears. Jihan stood up and immediately hugged Kanaya.

Inner Jihan said, "Why do I love you so much as if we have a strong bond, Nay?"

*******

By mutual agreement, Naya returns home to Tristan. His chest felt claustrophobic recalling what happened in this house but he would maintain his household and believe that Tristan would change and return to him.

"Nay, Mama can't stay here long because Mama has business. You okay Mama lives alone? Papa Marko also works overtime so can't see you yet."

"Naya's okay, Mah. Naya's also healthy so Mama doesn't have to worry about me." Naya was still standing near the entrance.

"Actually Mama doesn't feel good about you but Mama has important business."

"Just go, I'll take care of myself, trust me." Naya assured her in-laws.

Jihan finally nodded and she left Naya alone in her house.

"Tristana.... Tristan.." yelled Jihan calling her son's name. He got a call from IRT when Tristan went home.

"Den Tristan is in his room, ma'am." said IRT at his house.

"Still Bi" he said and walked straight to his son's room.

Jihan banged on her son's bedroom door. "Tristan open the door! Mama wants to talk to you, open Tristan..!"

"What the hell, Mah? just interrupt my break." Tristan answered, opening the door. "What's up, mah? I'm tired of taking a break, I'm out of work, mah?"

"Where have you been three days without news and just got home?" jihan's Story.

Jihan stared intently at Tristan and opened the shirt she was wearing forcibly.

"Well, what the hell?!"

"Silent Tristan, Mama wants to find something in your body!" His touch.

Jihan looked up at the red marks on her child's body. "So it's true you cheated on Tristan? you prefer another woman compared to your pregnant wife and you who have made your granddaughter leave?!" angry jolt.

Tristan was shocked to hear that his mother knew she had another woman. "I'm not cheating, Mah. She's still my girlfriend because there's no breaking up between us."

"That's the same thing you cheated on Tristan..!! You're a child who doesn't know yourself, your wife is good but you betrayed her and did you know, she miscarried because of you, your wife suffered a miscarriage Tristan..!" jihan's jolt slapped his son so upset and angry at the treatment of the child to his beloved son-in-law.

"Miscarriage?!" Tristan stared, his body dazed, his mind guessed when he touched Kanaya and immediately he remembered waking up in a state of innocence and at his side was Kanaya who was also equally innocent.

"Mom disappointed in you, Mama never educated you into a brash man, Tristan."

"I-I. I don't know Naya ha-pregnant."

"Ck, what kind of husband doesn't know his wife is pregnant?" Jihan wants to hit her son again but there's a call coming in and she picks him up immediately.

His eyes were wide open to hear someone's words. "Okay, I'll be there now." He leaves again leaving Tristan shocked.

********

Tristan Residence.

Kanaya sat down and wept for her son's departure. She cursed her husband who had caused her future son to leave.

"You're a jerkk, Mas. You left me alone instead and preferred your affair," he muttered in tears himself.

"Kanaya, where are you?" shouted Tristan.

Naya immediately wiped her tears and approached Tristan. "I'm here, Mommy."

Tristan turned his head to look at the disgust of the woman who became his wife. "Whose son are you carrying?"

Degs....

Naya's heart beat erratically hearing her husband ask such a question.

"What do you mean by that question, Mom? I don't understand?!"

"Mama said you were pregnant and miscarried, then whose child was she because I didn't feel like touching you?"

"You're accusing me of doing it with someone else?"

"I didn't say accuse you, I just asked whose son was he?" sentak Tristani.

Kanaya water slid back on charges from her husband. "That's the same as you accusing me of sleeping with another man Tristan. The kid I bear your son, I'm sure it's your son because I only did it with you once, though," kanaya's jolt was disappointed her husband accused her although she did not remember what it was like at first until she fell asleep in Tristan's arms in a state of innocence and when she woke up the core was painful and there was blood spotting bed linen.

"But I don't believe it, you must be cheating on me? answer, Nay! Who's your affair?" there was a sense of disbelief that Naya was cheating on him.

"I'm not cheating, Mom. The one who cheated on you, even you to have sex right? the proof is there's another sign of love on your neck."

"I'm not cheating, she's my old boyfriend and it's up to me to cheat or not. And I also don't care about your miscarriages because it's not my son!" he did not feel any pity for Kanaya.

Blugs...

Tristan slammed the door of his room violently, and Kanaya was sitting limp in tears at the fate of her household. "I'm not cheating, Tristan."

Seriate.....
