The Stemless Rose
Chapter 9's
I called Arwan a few times. However, there is no answer. My heart churned unsettled, wanting to straighten out the matter immediately.I want Arwan to immediately refute all the statements of the woman.I want Arwan to say that he is unlikely to do that.
I forced her to come to her office. According to his television companion, Arwan was in a meeting. I waited anxiously. It felt like barging into that meeting room and dragging Arwan out.
“Honey, you since when is here?”
“You busy?” much
“What's up?” Arwan clasped my finger.
“What is there is nothing you need to talk to me about. A confession or something?”
Arwan frowned. He did not understand the meaning of my question.
“You have a problem?” asked Arwan while taking me to sit in his chair
“We talk outside just”
“You wait in Apartment. In an hour I'm home”
Arwan drove me to the lobby and hailed a taxi to take me to his apartment.
An hour has passed. But Arwan has not returned. My eyes could not escape from the entrance, hoping that the door would open and Arwan appeared right now.
“Where are you? It's been over an hour” I asked Arwan over the phone.
The door opened and Arwan came in. “What's up, Dy? What's the problem?” Arwan stroked my face gently.
“Sifa. He met me last noon”
Arwan's face changed. He turned his face away from me. “For what the woman met, you”
“Sifa says that she is pregnant... and you are the father of her baby?” Arwan did not answer a word.
Even though Arwan didn't answer my questions. However, his change in attitude has been answered.
My body was limp, the tears I had been holding back from spilling all over. My world is broken. I would love to curse Arwan with harsh and immoral words. But this tongue is muddy and my body is feeling
frosted. This disappointment over this one that hurt my whole soul.
“Dy, please trust me. I didn't do that!”
“Then, why did you ask him to abort his contents? Answer, answer me Arwan!”
“One thing you should know, Sifa is not pregnant with my son. That cunning woman is setting me up”
“What is less than me? What made you choose him?” I was desperate.
Arwan hugged my body tightly “Dy, that's not my son. He lied”
his lawn.
“Since when? Since when do you guys play behind my back? You're disgusting!” I pushed Arwan's body and left his apartment.
All I have given. I always do the best for him. Time was wasted for years just to maintain a relationship like this.
The disappointment I felt could not be expressed. I felt so humbled and humiliated because I knew Sifa was indeed not a good woman. According to Reno. Sifa already had a son from a relationship without marriage.
Even Reno says that Sifa often sleeps with other men while they are still in a relationship.
I laugh at myself. If Arwan chooses such a woman he probably thinks I'm inferior and not the center of his happiness anymore.
Cellphone's ringing. A call came in from Haris. He panicked when he heard my voice stammering as he answered his phone. Haris asked me to wait for him because he'd pick me up soon.
Haris took me to his apartment not far from the Hospital. He gave me a glass of hot chocolate.
I told Haris. Whatever I've experienced today was a betrayal from Arwan and someone who claimed to be a friend.
Even after this incident. I realized that I loved Arwan more than Haris. Without waiting for long I told Haris that I didn't love him.
However, it was not the surrender word I heard from Haris. He was even challenged to melt my heart.
“I don't want you to be hurt, Mas”
“I will make you love me, Dy” he said with a smile
“Your wife? I know the pain of being betrayed..” Haris put his index finger on my lips.
“Sssstt. When together never call the woman”
“But how do I ignore the guilt every time I look at you, Mas”
Haris hugged me. I stroked my head gently. I chose not to return the hug.
“Haris dong” hug raises both hands to her waist.
Slowly I hugged her body. Warm and cool. Slowly Haris let go of his hugging. Now he looked at my face and slowly our lips met each other.
Haris kissed my lips softly. I slowly got into the game. Haris took me to his bed. Napsu and love have become one. I handed my body to Haris that night.
My disappointment with Arwan further drove me to take revenge. If Arwan could why I didn't, I thought.
Sat a sure thing. I've become Haris' mistress. I've been playing with fire, now I'm laughing at the suffering of Haris' wife.
At midnight I went back to the hospital to look after my mother. Tears of regret dripped down my face. The taste in the heart rages. Between sad and happy to be gray.
For days I chose to be quiet without saying anything to my family. They did know I went to see Arwan. Talking about this will only add more trouble for my family.
