THE PERPETRATOR (You Cheated, I'm Two)

Sorry to Tristan

Tristan has been living in her parents' house for a few days. He refuses to return to his residence considering there are many memories with Emily and Kanaya.

During these few days too, Tristan daydreams of her life that never felt peace, comfort, and happiness.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Jihan suddenly approaches Tristan who is pensive by the glass window watching Marko's parrot.

"Eh, Mah. No, I'm not daydreaming about anything."

"Don't lie, Tristan. Mama knows you're thinking something. Honestly, who knows if you can help!"

Tristan turned his head, he looked at the woman who had raised him affectionately. He's spoiled the most when he's near Jihan.

"Why is my life like this, Mah?" the guy asked seriously.

"Mama can't answer the details of your question. But, Mama just wanted to ask, have you ever hurt someone? if so, maybe this is one of God's real rewards." Jihan patted Tristan on the shoulder and stood up.

"I apologize to those you hurt, especially the women you ruined her future. That's my mother's advice."

Jihan leaves to let Tristan think and reflect on her mistake.

"The woman I hurt? Claudia, Kanaya, Emily. They're the only women I've ever hurt." Tristan grew more and more guilty, he closed his eyes, the shadow of his treatment of them spinning back like a cassette in a continuous play.

"Lord, I'm sorry. It turns out what I did was wrong. Now you're punishing me in this way so that I can no longer commit adultery at will. Now I understand," he mumbled with tears.

Tristan decides to start everything from scratch, he wants to apologize to Naya first. He goes to ask Jihan for Kanaya's home address. Initially Jihan does not give however, after Tristan convinces her, Jihan notifies her of the address.

************

Tristan watched the magnificent building. For the first time he found out about the boss' house. There is a sense of insecurity to visit Andrian's house considering he had done wrong to his Boss.

His head shrieked not daring to step in. But, his heart said to keep going in apologizing to Kanaya. His hand stretched out, pressing the bell.

Ting..... Kegs....

Shortly after, a middle-aged woman opened it.

"Who are you looking for, Mom?"

"Hmmmm Kanaya is there?"

Bi Marni frowned in wonder. "Why is this guy looking for Non Naya?"

"Mom, who? has my husband come home?" pekik Naya approaching.

Tristan thumped hearing Naya's soft voice.

"No, Nay. It's just a guest man." Bi Marni looked back. Naya approaches and she stares at Tristan in front of her husband's house.

"You?!"

"Nay, I'd like to talk to you for a minute" Tristan pleaded.

Naya turned to Bi Marni and turned to Tristan. He said, "Just for a minute."

Tristan smiled, although it was okay for a moment as long as there was time to apologize to Kanaya.

"We talk in front, I don't want to put a stranger in the house without my husband. Ma'am, I'd like you to make a drink for our guests!" naya's tone changed when she spoke to Bi Marni.

Tristan looked down and then he understood.

"Good, Non." Bi Marni went inside while Naya was sitting on the front porch seat and Tristan was sitting.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to apologize for what I did to you first. Forgive me for ever hurting your born and inner. I'm sorry, Nay. Forgive me," she softly looked down, not daring to look at the woman soft-hearted, patient, attentive, diligent worship, respecting herself while still being her husband and also faithful.

Naya was surprised, she turned to look at the look on Tristan's face.

"I've forgiven you, Mom. Because I realized that what you did was not entirely your fault but my fault that could not be the wife you wanted. Everything has passed and I don't want to remember it anymore." replied Naya smiled to Bi Marni who was storing drinks and some snacks on the table.

"Mother is just here my friend. I don't want any slander between us" he told Bi Marni to sit on the other bench.

Bi Marni nodded after seeing Naya's pleading gaze. He did not want to be alone and made Andrian misunderstand or make neighbors think things.

Tristan increasingly regretted letting go of the woman who kept the treasure of her dignity as a woman and cherished her husband in his absence.

"Do you forgive me?" tanya Tristan reassured.

"I try to forgive those who have hurt me. God is forgiving and we should forgive. Because by apologizing or forgiving, my heart becomes calmer and more peaceful."

Tristan slightly smiled. His heart felt a little relieved to hear Kanaya had forgiven him. The burden of his mind seemed to decrease, his heart a little plong. Stay to two more women.

Without them knowing, what they do and talk about is monitored by someone who is Andrian. Andrian smiled happily at his wife until she kept her honor for her sake. Andrian noticed it through a cell phone that was connected to the Cctv every corner of his house.

"Kanaya, I'm lucky to have you, baby. I love you more and more. Thank you for trying to maintain dignity as a wife."

*************

Tristan again continues his goal of the house where Emily lives, rather their residence.

Tristan just walked in because he knew Emily must be at his house. Although he has said talak, but they have not submitted a divorce application to the court.

Tristan sees Emily curled up on the couch. Her heart was full of seeing it, she realized, what happened to Emily was her work.

"Emily," she called.

Emily heard someone's voice wake up. He was surprised Tristan was there.

"Tristan" said Emily couldn't lie that she missed Tristan. Tristan keeps her face smelling the smell coming out of Emily's mouth. The smell of liquor.

"I'm sorry, Em."

"I'm sorry? hahahaha you're sorry after what happened. I don't need your apologies. What I need now is your treasure!" emily's strangulation violently pushed Tristan's body to the floor.

"Whatever you want I'll give you as long as you forgive me" Tristan replied sincerely from the heart.

"You sure you want to apologize to me?" asked Emily standing staggering and Tristan nodded.

"There are two things you have to do. First, your entire treasure must be mine. Second, you have to help me get Andrian back!"

"You're crazy! I can't help you get Andrian including giving you treasure." Tristan scoffed strongly at Emily's request.

"Why? you're rich, you're a manager, and I want Andrian to be mine again and I'll give you an apology."

"I'm rich but it belongs to my parents. And for all the conditions you give me I don't want to fulfill them. Whether you want to apologize or not is your right. But most importantly, I sincerely apologize for what I did to you even though I realize that the word sorry won't bring it all back."

Tristan just left. She may have followed Emily's wishes. He did not want to damage Kanaya's household and he did not want to lose his parents who had been heartened to accept and forgive and would accommodate him.

"Tristaaaa.... You can't refuse me! aaakhhhh...." Emily threw whatever was there.

Seriate....

Emily's nature is selfish, greedy, hard to accept reality and stubborn.
