The Wife (The Persecuted Wife)

Bright Point

"I did promise Tedy to meet here. He had a buyer who would bid for my house" Elno explained Tedy's sudden appearance.

Lolita smiles. "Hi, Tedy!"

Tedy nodded, then sat down near Elno. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, Lolita ...."

"I was just asking Elno. We haven't seen each other in a long time" Lolita cut off quickly.

Elno raised her eyebrows in surprise at Lolita's nervous agitation. His face changed after Tedy joined.

"For your contact number. I'm getting married and you all have to come" Lolita said, turning her suspicious mood away with a cell phone.

"I thought you were going to be single" said Tedy.

Elno grabbed Lolita's phone, then kept her number there. "She also wants to feel the heaven of the world" Elno joked.

It was Tedy's turn to put in his cell phone number. "yes too. Lolita needs a successor."

Lolita blushed in embarrassment by taking back her phone. "What, anyway? Someone wants to propose better I accept. Oh, yeah, I go first, deh. Want to shop for it. My friend is waiting."

"Oh, please. We'll have lunch together sometime," asked Elno.

"After I got married, of course. I'll take my husband with me later" said Lolita then moved from her seat and stepped away from the front of Elno and Tedy.

"What are you talking about?" ask Tedy. "Lolita knew you were marrying Sari?"

"Oh, he ...."

Mobile vibrates. Elno stopped her sentence to read the new message and she frowned because the message was from Lolita.

I have something to say about what happened at Elno's house. Don't let Tedy know this.

"I'm here you're playing on a cell phone" Tedy said.

"From Sari," lies Elno.

"So, what did Lolita say to you?" ask Teddy again.

"You really want to know what I'm talking to Lolita about? We were just chatting normally. I'm just asking about his move here. We met by accident."

Teddy no longer asked. The buyer they were waiting for had come and the topic regarding Lolita changed to discussing the house.

...****************...

"I waited for you since then" said Ilmi.

"I've met Delia. The plan is I want to make an online shop," said Kara while inviting Ilmi into her apartment.

Actually Kara was a bit disturbed by the arrival of Ilmi. However, his heart felt uneasy to repel or reject the arrival of the man. Kara let her relationship just walk with Ilmi. But Ilmi acts as if they are lovers.

"I want to take you to meet my parents" Ilmi said.

"What?" Kara's shocked, "meet your parents, what's it for?"

"We go in first" said Ilmi.

Kara opens the door, then steps in followed by Ilmi who follows from behind. The door closed again and the two sat on a long sofa.

"I want to introduce you to my mom and dad. I want to propose to you" Ilmi said.

"Sorry, Ilmi. But I've just become Elno's widow. At least wait until the iddah period is over. I don't intend to remarry anyway" Kara said.

Ilmi grabs Kara's hand. "You have allowed me to take Elno's place in your heart. We'll get married after your iddah. It's just a regular introduction. I want you to be known as my lover."

Kara took off Ilmi's hand. "It's not so, Ilmi. I consider you a friend and it feels like this is too sudden."

"I know you must be surprised at my request. You need Kara's escort. You need someone who will protect you. I beg you to give me a chance" Ilmi said, urging Kara to accept.

"I'll be waiting for you. It's just a normal introduction. I just wanted to tell my parents that there was a woman I loved" Ilmi said.

"alright. I'm coming to see your parents" Kara agreed.

Ilmi just hugged him. Kara was shocked with bulging eyes because she did not expect Ilmi to be this determined.

"Take me off, Ilmi," said Kara.

"Oh, sorry. I'm just happy."

...****************...

Curiosity makes Elno want to meet Lolita at her home. He did not want to delay time any more especially Lolita brought up the incident at the house of Tedy at that time.

Lolita takes Elno to the garden behind her house. Because the wedding is soon, then at home a little crowded with the arrival of relatives. Lolita even asked her two cousins as witnesses so as not to cause misunderstandings because of talking to foreign men.

"Because of your message, I don't want to delay meeting. I'm not good at coming to your place" said Elno.

"It's good that you came. I really can't sleep if I don't finish my curiosity. I'm sorry, Elno, but tell me exactly what happened" Lolita said.

"It's clear what I said. Sari can't accept I fucked her and asked me to take responsibility."

"We were shocked to find you two in one room. You and Sari are not dressed. Didn't we go straight home?" said Lolita.

"I don't know what's going on. A month after that Sari came and said she was pregnant. I have to take responsibility for him."

"What was that time you saw a red stain on the bedsheet?"

Elno stunned. "It should always be marked with blood?"

"No, anyway. I'm just curious because you married her, but already have a wife."

"I initially refused. I mean we're both drunk. My wild mind thinks it's just one night's fun. Apparently Sari did not think so. Sari was a good woman and I took her chastity and got her pregnant" Elno said.

"Yes, my goodness, Elno! Your mind is fucked. How long have you known Sari?" ask Lolita.

"I just know him. She's Kara's schoolmate. We are not familiar, but I know him" said Elno.

"I don't know what the problem was at that time how clear it was. I also thought it was a one-night pleasure because we often do it with a partner. We are both adults. Here I want to tell you something" said Lolita.

"Tell me" said Elno.

"You're not the first man for Sari" Lolita said.

"Not the first guy? You mean, I didn't take her chastity?"

Lolita nodded. "When sleeping with you, it's not the first time for Sari. He also said he often took the Pill."

Elno's eyes widened. "Lolita, are you serious about what you're saying?"

"I know him, Elno. Sari's first man is not you" said Lolita.

Elno. "I still don't understand. Then, what happened at that time? Sari's pregnant and I've also had a DNA test."

"I was surprised when you said that you were the first man for Sari, and I thought that you were just having a good time."

Elno. "I have to ask Sari for an explanation."

"Patience first, Elno," said Lolita.

"Otherwise, he lied to me. I feel guilty for destroying a girl's future."

"Investigate first. Remember what happened that time. The five of us were both drunk" said Lolita.

"Thank you, Lolita. I'll find out the real problem. Sari was outrageous for lying to me" Elno said, then saying goodbye to Lolita.
