The Woman Behind The Scenes

Chapter 44 - Finally the Fires

“From! Dar!” tomi's voice screamed in panic in the morning while Dara was trying to put Kayla's baby to sleep. Today their office decided that all employees work at home only, since the government announced that many residents have been infected with the coronavirus.

“Iya. Why scream?”

“Child Fani died. Just this morning,” a sad news delivered by Tomi. Unlike usual, Dara did not flinch this time to the sad news delivered by her husband. There was Fani's name there, and she didn't know if her hatred for the woman was still going to make her empathize.

Dara's face was flat, not a single hint of Innaillahi's words came out of her lips, and she also did not comment on anything. Tomi looks frowning, back to pay attention to the screen of his phone.

Fani is a divorcee, from Tomi's conversation with her that Dara read, she has 2 children. Whether the child who died, Dara seemed to be a stone without feeling completely indifferent.

“Come get ready!”

“For what?” ask Dara in a flat tone. Tom looked at his wife.

“Go visit Fani, Dara ..” tone unhappy.

“Why should? If you want to go, alone. I'm at home with the kids. Anyway, we have a work schedule at 12 noon. Isn't it too mepet if you go now?”

Tomi clenched her waist, then looked up, as if thinking what was wrong with his wife today.

“Children Fani died, Dar ..”

“Iya. I-i know. Then?”

“You have no empathy at all?”

“Are you so close that it's like this? I'm sure the other parents in daycare are also not like this, want to go visit.”

“Jaga talk to you. He's in mourning!”

“I've been grieving too! I read your chat with him! I'm grieving! I lost the trust I gave you, Tomi!” dara's tone is rising. It was like losing patience this time.

“I just ask you to go visit a grieving person ... why can you be this angry?”

“The Man Fani. That's why I'm angry! How many times have you been like this with other women? Do you think I'm that patient? Do you think I'm not tired?” Dara's back on fire.

Tomi shook her head weakly. He was surprised at his wife's response. He must have not expected Dara to be this angry, and dared to reveal it.

Tomi took the keys to the bike, whether she was going to Fani's house or not, Dara didn't care. For some reason, ever since she found out about her husband's chat with the nanny, she became very cold to Tomi, and was unable to cry anymore.

Tomi's motorbike was heard by Dara, but she seemed to not care. He put Kayla to sleep, and checked Kio who had slept first. The morning was so cold that the children finally fell asleep again after breakfast.

Dara returned to activity, he went to his kitchen to see the pile of dishwashing, then he immediately cleaned up. In the corner of the laundry room, a pile of laundry was installed in the washing machine, Dara looked at the pile for a moment, then went to start the washing machine.

Suddenly, the sound of Tomi's motorbike was heard again in front of the house. It is back ...

“I have sent a donation of grief to Ummi ..” he said as soon as entering the kitchen following Dara. Dara did not respond to her husband at all. He continued to clean up the mess in his laundry room because the cat was scrambling children's dolls that he was about to wash.

“He's not a big thing, Ra. I'm surprised that you get jealous like this with him. Even if I reply to the same message, just a stale base. No le-“

“Stop convincing me with your bullshit! It's not my first time, and I've learned a lot!” Dara cuts Tomi's speech.

He rushes to his room, picks up his prayer gear, and Tomi seems to follow him directly from behind.

Dara put a set of worship equipment into the room that used to be occupied by Ros. The room was still as neat as ever.

“Stop following me. I want to clean up,” said Dara ketus.

He quickly folded the dry clothes in the room, looking very upset, but this time he could not shed any tears.

“Am I numb?” he thought to himself, after he came to his senses, he had absolutely no empathy for what had happened to Fani. If it had happened to him he would not be able to live anymore, but this time he could not empathize at all with the widow.
