They Say, I'm a Liar

What is the actor?

“Why you?” ask Melati in panic. Because the child really looks disheveled with wet clothes and hair. Qeiza did not answer the mother's question, the woman returned to crying as she pleased.

“Honey, let me help you clean your body. Later you catch a cold,” persuade Ivander. Qeiza nodded slowly. With Ivander embracing her body, the woman swung her steps slowly.

Ivander and Qeiza's footsteps stopped at once upon hearing the innocent question coming out of their beloved daughter.

“Grandma, what actor?” ask Qiana. “Tante who jambak Mama earlier said, he said Mama pelakor, Mama the bad guy. Mama's not a bad person, is she? Mama Qia a good person,” whine the little girl.

Qeiza grew increasingly tearful at the question coming out of Qiana's mouth. The woman was even suddenly drowning in hearing the child's words. Qeiza's body. The woman sat down drooping while crying as she pleased.

Qiana, who saw her mother sitting on the floor, immediately ran over.

“Mama beware.”

Seeing the baby in front of him, Qeiza also closed Qiana tightly.

“Sorry Mom, Qi ... Maafin Mama's. Mama can't be a good example for Qia.”

Qiana who did not understand the meaning of the mother just fell silent. The little girl was so sad to see the state of Qeiza. All Qiana did was return the tight hug of her gynecologist.

“Darling, it's not your fault. Why are you like this? Come on, let's clean your body first. Qia's clothes must be wet too. You two will catch a cold. Come on, change clothes first.”

“Iya Qei's. You take a shower there. Let Qia the mother who takes care of,” said Melati.

Although she did not know exactly what happened at Qiana's school, but from the question that was thrown from the lips of the grandson, Melati little understood what happened to her son.

This is what Melati was afraid of long ago. Qeiza was branded as an actor and hated by others.

But, who is the woman who grabbed the Qeiza? Did Evelyn? Didn't Ivander's first wife agree to this marriage?

There are a lot of questions in Melati's mind. But, of course he would not ask that to Qeiza. Her only daughter would definitely grow in shock. He'll ask Ivander that, later.

The tears of Qeiza were still flowing. The memory of her being the months of a woman is still recorded clearly in her memory. How did that woman's gaze that looked so hateful to her, the judgmental gaze of the people surrounding her earlier, as well as the heartbroken gaze of Qiana who saw her helpless.

What the hell's going on? Why is it that suddenly everyone is staring dislike at him? Why did the woman attack him? Why did she call him an actor? What is wrong with being treated like that? In fact, the people who were there earlier, were the ones who always invited him to have a warm conversation.

Qeiza just sat inside the bathtub with an empty look. Ivander now bathes his hands with shampoo and dashes them into Qeiza's hair. Gently massage the head of the wife. Hoping for Qeiza to calm down and forget about the bad incident earlier. But the wife was still silent with her blank look. Only her tears kept flowing.

Ivander bathed Qeiza like a baby. The man even painstakingly dressed his wife and combed her hair.

“Qei ... There is a video that is going viral on social media,” said Ivander when he was sitting in bed, hugging Qeiza. The woman did not respond to what Ivander had said. He still thinks about the incident.

“Video it's about us, Qei.”

Qeiza straightened her body. “Kita?”

Heavy, Ivander nodded his head. “Iya ... About our relationship.”

Qeiza was stunned staring at Ivander. The man said the viral video was a video of his and Ivander's relationship. Qeiza also linked it to the incident at the Qiana school, earlier. The woman who attacked him earlier, always mentioned the word actor.

What's that vital video about her being the second person to Ivander and Evelyn's marriage?

“Can I see that video, Mas?” lirih Qeiza's. Despite knowing the theme of the viral video, Qeiza is still curious about the video revealed by her husband. What's the video like? What video was it that caused everyone to look so hateful to him?

Qeiza clutched her own mouth. How could a video be so cruel? Who made all this? Aside from her joining hands with Ivander who is still Evelyn's husband, everything in the video is slander.

He was often in and out of hotels with Ivander, but that was when they were meeting clients. Not to tease Ivander and sleep with the man.

In fact, the case of abuse experienced in Madura, made as if it was Qeiza who seduced the businessman from Madura.

And what makes Qeiza so shaken, in the video, he is even accused of having a special relationship with Andreas— Ivander's biological father, who is now his father-in-law.

Qeiza's body was trembling. How could anyone be so vile as to slander him?

“It ... This isn't a video about us, Mom. This video about me.”

“Sorry Qei ... It's all my fault,” Ivander. Seeing the wife's body tremble. The man instantly pulled Qeiza back in his arms.

“Married to me only makes you vilified here and there. Sorry, Sweetheart. I'm sorry.”

Qeiza was silent. His mind justifies what the husband says. Can she apologize to her husband?

If he hadn't married Ivander, he wouldn't have been slandered that way. He won't get treatment like that. Everything's gonna go fine.

However, he could not hate that man. Qeiza loves Ivander very much. She was so happy to be the wife of that man. But, never suspected the consequences of loving someone can be this painful.

***

Days pass. Qeiza hasn't been out of the house since that day. The woman was even afraid to open her phone. His social media accounts were attacked with thousands of hate-speech comments. His cell phone number was even scattered. And repeatedly Qeiza got terror.

Ivander Bratajaya's second wife was depressed. Qeiza is sick. The woman was unable to withstand the mental attacks that were launched against her.

Everyone hates, insults and even swears at him.

Every day Qeiza was just pensive and crying. The woman didn't even have the taste to do anything.

Ivander beaver. As a result of the viral video, his wife was depressed. However, it has been a week, but the team formed by Anggara has not also given results. Anggara can only ask him to be patient.

“Mas, we've already got some very astonishing data. Anyway, just calm down. Let them feel calm, feel victorious. After this evidence was issued, I thought, Evelyn would not even be ashamed to breathe air.”

Anggara has not opened what he found. Ivander could only trust his brother-in-law's ado.

Psychological stress experienced by his wife, making Ivander bring a psychologist. Ivander Bratajaya's second wife also conducts counseling sessions every day. At least that counseling session managed to make Qeiza calmer. The woman no longer wept for her fate. Qeiza was already more able to accept her state.

All the slander directed at him, considered the woman as the evildoer of his sins.

The woman also accepted herself. Accepting if she has indeed been in a forbidden relationship with someone's husband.

Qeiza was trying to make peace with herself.

For almost two weeks, Qeiza lived like hell. The vile slanders are getting viral by the day. However, does not the sun always shine bright after a storm?
