The Wife (The Persecuted Wife)

Reminiscing

"You said you only have an hour. But I've been waiting for you in the city park for fifteen minutes" Sari said.

"You think it's easy to ask permission from the office. I also have to make sure Elno has returned" Ilmi said.

"Oh, forget it. Are we talking here or at your place?" said Sari.

"It's best here. Too wasted time to get to my place. Tell me what makes you want to meet?"

"Lolita has returned and she is very surprised to learn the fact that I am married to Elno. He knows me and I'm afraid he's talking a no-no with Elno" Sari said.

Ilmi clucked, "Damn it! Why would he have to come back? What's your secret?"

"Elno wasn't the first man in my life, whereas I claimed to be still holy and threatened him to take responsibility."

"It's your fault, Sari. You should just tell me the truth. You are pregnant with Elno's child. Even so, she still married you," Ilmi said.

"Well! You've got yours, and now blame me. What happens if Elno finds out you betrayed her? You're the one who planned the party and got her drunk for a woman who doesn't know when she's back."

Ilmi laughs. "My friendship with Elno is over and Kara is mine. It's enough Elno is with the woman I love. I've been holding him back for years, and finally the opportunity came. You need to know, Sari. The idea suddenly popped into my brain."

"Oh, is that all of you're planning?"

Sari and Ilmi jumped in shock then both of them looked back. The two breathed a sigh of relief because the one who came was their ally.

"Are you sure that Finola is Elno's son?" ask Tedy.

"Here is the barn" said Ilmi.

"Didn't you feel guilty for Kara and Elno? They love each other, but you can separate them" said Tedy.

"There is no harm" said Sari.

"really. Sari gets Elno and I get Kara" Ilmi said.

Tedy clapped his hands. "Then, I'm just alone? I even sacrificed my feelings."

"That's your destiny, Tedy," said Sari, laughing.

"I really didn't expect the sudden plan to work" Ilmi said, recalling the incident.

Disappointed Elno finds Kara and Ilmi. As best friends, the two comfort the grieving Elno. Ilmi orders an alcoholic drink and Tedy invites Sari to his house. It was unexpected that Sari even brought Lolita with her.

"She doesn't love me" Elno said, "Kara would rather be abroad than with me. I've been successful now. I can give him anything, but he doesn't want to go home."

"Alright, Elno. You better drink. At least it can clear your head" said Ilmi.

"Better to have fun" said Tedy.

"The alcohol is too strong. One drink my head was dizzy" said Lolita.

Tedy laughs. "Drinking sucks. One more glass."

Tedy thrust one glass at Lolita and made the woman finish it. Ilmi and Sari also gave Lolita a drink until the woman was stoned.

"His drinking ability is very poor" Ilmi said.

"Just let her fall asleep on the couch" Sari said. "We'll continue with the party."

"Come, Elno. We bet the drinks" said Tedy.

Elno. "No, I have to go home. Kara's gonna be pissed if she finds out I'm drinking alcohol."

"One glass only," urged Ilmi then made Elno sip one drink.

As with Lolita, Elno has poor drinking ability. Tedy and Ilmi continue to give Elno a drink until she is unconscious.

"Elno really loves Kara. I'm really jealous of him. Have a loyal and successful husband" said Sari.

"Do you like Elno?" ask Ilmi.

"From the beginning, but I couldn't beat the popular girl in school" Sari replied.

"I also like Kara, but it's Elno who gets that advantage. Actually I'm the one who should be Kara's partner" Ilmi said.

"I have to get Kara," Ilmi said determinedly.

"What do you mean?" ask Tedy. "Don't fuck around, Ilmi."

"Oh, did you forget what happened six months ago? Your lover is gone because Elno was late to save him. He's more concerned with his job than helping his own best friend."

"I also suddenly told him. My girlfriend was in a car accident and needed a blood donor and Elno was with your boss" Tedy said. He snorted annoyed. "They're the same blood type."

"Elno could ask permission, but she didn't. He came after it was too late" said Ilmi.

"Here you go, you better take Elno to the room. You guys want to let him sleep on the floor?" said Sari.

"Let me take him," said Tedy.

Ilmi also helped move Elno to Tedy's room, after which the two returned to partying. Ilmi was drunk first, but she still realized when she saw Sari and Tedy making out.

"You go to that room," drive Ilmi out.

Tedy takes Sari to the room where there is also Elno in the bed. While Ilmi is unconscious with Lolita.

Elno complained as she felt a shock in the bed. Tedy who was on top of Sari immediately got out of bed, then came out.

"Kara," said Elno, inching to sit down and massaging her head. "My head is dizzy."

"Honey, it's me" said Sari.

Elno blinked to clearly see the figure in front of her. However, his head that felt heavy did not make him realize who exactly the woman in front of him was.

"Kara" said Elno again.

"Yes, honey," said Sari.

Sari pushed Elno's body to lie back down. He undid the clothes worn by Elno then held his sensitive point.

"It's me, Kara" whispered Sari.

Elno muttered, "Darling."

The two do the relationship after Sari did it first with Tedy. In the morning Elno woke up when Tedy caught them. Followed by Ilmi and Lolita who were shocked by the incident.

"I'd better get home soon" said Sari.

"Yes, I also have to go home" Elno said.

"You guys have fun apparently" Lolita said. "I fell asleep on the couch."

"That's because of your poor drinking ability" Ilmi said.

"Here you go, you go home first. I'm going to have my assistant clean the house" said Tedy.

Nothing happened after that. However, a month later Sari invited everyone to gather at Tedy's place. While Lolita has gone to Singapore for her work.

"It's impossible!" elno. "Why do you want me to be responsible now?"

"Because I'm pregnant, Elno. This is your son" said Sari.

Elno. "I already have a wife. There's no way I'm marrying you. We're just having fun anyway."

"So men have to take responsibility, Elno," said Tedy.

"You have destroyed Sari's future" Ilmi added.

"I can't. I don't want to betray Kara. It's better to just throw it away" Elno said.

Sari sobbing. "Your work, Elno. What about my fate? My parents and my job. It's so easy for you to say to abort my womb."

"You must take responsibility, Elno," urged Ilmi.

"Alright," said Elno resigned.
