The Ugly Wife's

Curhatan Asyifa

"I'm home"

"Where have you been? Where did you sleep last night, can't you tell me? We were both busy looking for you to the point of not sleeping!"

Mira looked at Asyifa who had just entered into their apartment with an angry look.

Instead of answering Mira's question, Asyifa suddenly cried.

Angel, who heard Mira's scream, immediately headed there. But he was surprised when he saw Asyifa who was crying and the figure of Mira who faced the girl.

"MIRA! What did you do to Ashifa? Are you scolding him? I heard your screams!"

"I didn't do anything to her, I swear!"

"Quite Mira, I know you're angry because she stayed outside last night without telling you. But don't be too hard on him, he was the patient who just got out of the hospital yesterday!"

"I'm not like that to him, so don't just accuse me! I'm just asking! "

"That means? Is doing it while screaming like that, can it be called asking? You yelled at her, so she's crying now!"

Asyifa stepped forward and instead hugged Mira's body tightly, making the two women who were arguing silent for a moment and threw each other an astonished look.

"I'm sorry" said Ashifa slowly.

Mira let go of Asyifa's embrace and looked at her seriously "Who? Tell me right now, who's bothering you this time? What is Karin? Or Lia?"

Asyifa shook her head "None of them bothers me"

"Then why are you crying and apologizing while hugging me?"

"How about we sit down, so that Asyifa can tell what is happening to her" Angel proposed, which was immediately agreed by her two friends.

The three of them then sat on the floor of the living room, with the position of Asyifa between Angel and Mira.

"So, what makes you cry?"

"I want to apologize to both of you for letting you down. I'm sorry Mira, I'm sorry Angel" said Asyifa again sobbing.

"If it's about your decision not to imprison Karin and Lia, then compared to the word sorry, I'd rather expect the reason!"

"I just don't want to be the same as the three of them, Ra!"

"What does that mean? Why are you becoming like them? The three of them are criminals, and you are the victim! You're not the same, Asyifa!"

"I know Ngel, I don't equate myself with them in that. They ruined my life through my mental state, and I could have ruined their lives by putting all three of them in prison, then how different would I be from them? We both destroyed each other and took revenge!"

"Ashifa, you are not seeking revenge by destroying their lives, but you are simply upholding justice that the perpetrators of the crime should be punished!"

"But their lives are still ruined? Imagine Ngel, they lost their jobs disrespectfully and spent their time in prison. His entire life would bring about the status of an ex-con! I don't want to be like them, please understand!"

"What about your own life they destroyed? Don't they have an obligation to take responsibility for it?"

"I don't need any of that, I've been through this even when I was alone with no support from anyone! I'm sure I can get through it again, especially if you two are by my side as my best friends"

"But Ashifa,." Angel's words stopped when she received a silent signal from Mira.

"Alright, I'll let them go this time, but not the next time if they dare to act on you again!"

"I'm sure it won't happen, they'll even be too embarrassed just to look at me and there'll be a lot of gossip and hate they get from people in the company. Let that be the punishment of both of them as Sapphira who has received his sentence first"

Angel nodded in agreement with Ashifa saying "Alright, we will both follow your will"

"Thank you, you two are really my best friends!" said Asyifa embracing her two best friends with affection.

"OK, enough. Since the matter about Safira and his gang is over, then it's time to talk about last night!"

"I agree, Ngel! So Ashifa, last night where were you staying?"

"I stayed at a hotel near the company"

"Don't lie, I just got the info from the security guard below if you were escorted by a man using a car"

"Why did the security guard tell you about me, Ra?"

"The color of the security guard knows that Angel and I were looking for you all night until they had to report to the police!"

"Cop report? You serious?"

"That's not important now! All you have to explain to us, is who was the man who drove you home?"

"Ah, that's William, Ngel"

"Yes, why?" asyifa asked confused by the response of her two best friends.

"Don't tell me you guys slept together last night at the hotel? Did he force you to do it? Tell us everything Asyifa!"

"What the hell, Mira! William was just helping me when we accidentally met, when I was walking without direction and purpose. We didn't do anything, like you two said!"

"Oh yeah?" angel and Mira asked along with an expression of disbelief

"Yes! The one who drove me to the hotel and booked me a room, bought me clothes because I didn't bring any clothes at all and helped replace the bandages on my wound. In addition, we went to eat after that he came home and we met again this morning, because he insisted on taking me home"

"Is that all?" angel was disappointed.

"That's all, what else do you want?"

"Nothing romantic happened between you? It's not that you like that guy, and it looks like William likes you too because he's willing to take the time to help you!"

"That's it, actually, Ra" replied Ashifa blushing in embarrassment as she recalled William's words last night and this morning.

"What's? What the hell's going on? Tell us quickly!"

"She asked me out on a date and said that her intention was to approach me, which was to make me her boyfriend, Ngel. This morning while driving me home, she said she would try to be a good boyfriend to me" Ashifa said blushing.

"Aw, so sweet! What's your answer?" ask Angel excitedly.

"I accepted her date, and agreed to give her a chance to approach me as a potential boyfriend"

"Good job! Congratulations Asyifa, may you both be quick!" angel and Mira said while hugging Ashifa.

*****

Tok...

Asyifa tapped on the glass of the white car parked in front of her apartment building.

The glass of the car then slowly came down and it appeared that William who was smiling sweetly welcomed him.

The two indeed became closer after a month ago William revealed his intention of approaching Asyifa.

The man always drove and picked up Asyifa wherever the girl went, but they had not dated.

"Morning" said Asyifa in the car.

"Morning too, how was she sleeping last night?"

"It's so good! "

"Goodoo. You do not forget, if today we will go on a date to a very special place" asked William while running his car to the company Z Group to drive Asyifa.

"I may have forgotten, I was looking forward to it!"

"Patience. But you're sure you don't want me to pick you up when I get home from work?"

"Yes I'm sure. You better pick me up at the apartment, I'll go home with Mira and Angel, okay?"

"Well, if that's what you want"

Today Ashifa deliberately chose to go home with her two best friends because she wanted to dress up beautifully for her date tonight with William.

They have been dating a few times, but today was a little more special than usual.

Because Asyifa accidentally learned of the surprise that William prepared with the help of Angel and Mira, to shoot herself on their date this time. And all that thanks to the carelessness of Angel who said it unconsciously.

"We've arrived"

"Thank you, I'll see you tonight"

"Asyifa. Here's to you, wear it when you see me tonight" William said, giving me a large grocery bag with a famous clothing brand name written there.

"Is this not too much? I can wear my own dress, William"

"Please don't reject it"

Seeing William's pleading gaze, Ashifa was finally forced to accept the man's gift "Thank you, I will definitely wear it tonight"

"Together, have a good day. Nye"

"You too, bye"

Seriate....
