“I don't understand what you're talking about.” I pulled my arm from his grasp. “But no matter what happens, Hendra won't leave me again. We've never discussed this before, well, we're talking about this now.” I waited until his friends walked past us. They smiled at Dicky, I just kept quiet.
“I never give hope to you, stop this attitude of yours,” I said after the distance between his friends with us is quite far. “I just love Hendra. I'd rather be alone forever than marry a man other than her. Do you understand? If you keep doing this, you'll make me hate you. I appreciate you because you're Helmut's friend. That's it.”
“Did he love you that much too?” his challenge. “He left you once. That's proof that he doesn't love you the way he says he does. Za, open your eyes. He will leave you again when you make a mistake. I'm not gonna do that to you. Even if you sleep with other men, have children with other men, I will stay with you.”
“I speak with wall.” I walked quickly before he could pull my hand again. Hearing her footsteps, I accelerated my footwork. I was tired of dealing with Vivaldo, which ended my marriage. I don't want to experience the same thing again with this guy named Dicky.
Sleeping with other men, having children with other men. Why does he keep talking about both of those things? Hold still. Wasn't two nights ago the schedule of Vivaldo's interview on one of the television stations? Did he say it was in front of the camera? I'd better find out later. Hendra wouldn't like it if he found out that I was watching that useless show.
“Everything is okay?” asked Hendra who welcomed me. I'm nodding. “We're done breakfast. Take your food, we will wait for you while enjoying this fruit.”
I obey. After filling up the two dishes with various foods, I returned to the table where my family was. I'm glad they picked a poolside table. Hendra smiled at the plate. “I'm very hungry. The air here is cool, making me hungry fast.”
“Hey, I didn't say anything. You can take as much food as you want,” he said with his crisp laugh.
“But your eyes are mocking me,” my protest.
“You're lucky, you're sitting in front of me. If you sit next to me, I kissed your lips.” He blinked one eye.
“Hendra!” I glanced at Hadi. My husband just laughed. “Hadi, you go change your clothes and take a shower with Papa. Mama and Dira will take care of our things. After you're done, it's your turn to look after the goods as we change clothes.”
“OK, Ma,” says Hadi according to. Hendra took advantage of the opportunity to stand up, get close to my side, and kiss my lips. I just shook my head to see his naughty smile.
I eat as fast as I can. It's not hard because I'm hungry. Dira ate the fruit that was still on his plate. I offered her a piece of omelet, she opened her mouth and immediately chewed it. As soon as Hendra and Hadi came back, I was done eating. I took Dira with me to the bathroom.
“Yes, it was Zahara Aprilia who was going viral. You see for yourself he sat down with the famous man named Mahendra Mighty. The world wants to end, yes. They are divorced but still living together,” one woman said as I entered a cubicle.
“You see the kids? They don't look like Hendra. Why would she want to, yes, consider them as her own children?” said the second woman from the room behind me.
“The strangest, why, would he want to be with a girl like that? You know yourself, ‘kan, he slept with another man while he was still married to Hendra. After they got divorced, too. Until he has another child who is not clear who his father is,” said the woman from the room on my right.
“True people say, appearances can be deceiving. Her face was beautiful, looking good and innocent, it turned out to be hypersuitive. Is he not afraid of illness? Spooky.” The woman behind me made a shuddering sound. I lit the shower after I finished changing clothes.
“Hendra is the same. There are many other women who are better, but come back to him again. Don't get him magic.” The woman on my right also let out the same voice. Didn't they hear I just lit the water? Are they not afraid of having their conversations heard by others?
“Duh, take care of your husband. I saw him glancing at the woman many times during the meal earlier.” Okay. I'm done. It seems they were also already when heard from the sound of water stopping to flow.
“Heh, no need to teach me how to take care of my husband. Your husband also saw the woman while eating earlier.” I carried Dira and carried a bag containing our dry clothes, then stood in front of the booth. I want to see their expressions when I see my face later.
Two surprised breaths echoed in the bathroom as they saw me standing in front of them. Then their faces paled realizing who I was. Women they are ugly without knowing the real facts.
“Come, quickly, we go from here.” They kept their distance from me, then rushed out. I was in front of them, and I ran away. I was ready to face them.
“What's all okay?” asked Hendra as I walked up to them. He took Dira from me. Our daughter immediately pointed towards the pool, impatient to get in there.
“Iya. Everything is fine.” I saw the two women calling their husbands out of the pool. They went out first through the restaurant, while the husbands entered the bathroom. I didn't see if the two men were really interested in me, I just focused on looking at the wives. How dare you talk about the people behind your back.
Satisfied with swimming, we ate for a while before getting ready to return to the villa. The kids slept well on the way. Upon arrival at the villa, Hendra and I also chose to rest on the sofa. We didn't lie in bed so as not to fall asleep for too long. Lying on the couch is more fun. I can lie on his body.
Ara was already closer to the children, so she did not care much about her master. He prefers to sleep in Dira's bed and wait until his new master wakes up. So I can have my husband just for me.
“Basic spoiled wife.” His chest went up and down with laughter. I opened my eyes, waking up because of the rubbing of her hand in my hair.
“Why are you awake?” I closed my eyes back. “Sleep again.”
“The kids will wake up soon. I don't want to wait until night to hear what happened at the resort last.” His hand has now moved to my shoulder. I opened my eyes and tried to digest her words.
“What do you mean?” I raised my head so I could see his face.
“What did that councilman say when you passed him until he couldn't take his eyes off you?”
