To Mutia

You Brutal!

You're Mutia's learned man, so face them elegantly. Don't get carried away with emotions and act anarchist. The angel's side commemorates.

Your husband cheated on you, Mutia. With your cousin's sister anyway. You're stupid if you just shut up. At least they deserved a blow. Come on, don't look weak or you'll get trampled on like a useless piece of trash. This time it was the demon side that was arguing.

"I.m pregnant, Mut."

"Then?" Mutia was stupid and knew nothing. "Why did you come to me? You should have met the man who impregnated you and held her accountable, Sonya."

The shoulder-haired woman who was three months younger than him turned to her husband. They looked at each other fixedly, forgetting her presence, making Mutia want to throw a beautiful vase —which stands haughty on the coffee table— towards the two of them, venting the anger that enveloped her heart.

"Because of that..." Sonya looked back at Mutia. He gulped the saliva violently, before continuing his speech. "The man who..."

"I'm the guy who impregnated Sonya."

Mutia closed her eyes. Responding to the throbbing pain that hit the heart when she heard her husband's words.

From the beginning Mutia knew that there was no love between them, considering their marriage occurred because of an arranged marriage made by parents. But noting from how Haikal accepted her as a wife, Mutia was optimistic that one day they could love each other.

He said..The results will never betray hard work, then what happened to Mutia? For two years of marriage Mutia became a good wife, trying to melt her husband's heart, but instead the betrayal she got.

Like getting a wound, doused in salt water too. That was a fitting parable for Mutia. It has hurt to feel one-sided love, plus a loved husband cheating.

"Since when, Haikal?" like a masocist, Mutia was looking for things that could make her feel more sick and tormented. "What was before our wedding?"

Haikal. "The first time we met was when you invited me to pick up Sonya who had just finished her course in Bandung. At that time I felt a strong interest in him, but I tried to avoid it by reminding myself that I was married to you. But it turns out... Sonya feels the same way. Right on our one-year wedding day, Sonya confesses her feelings and we agree to be in a relationship."

Oh, my God, it's been that long. Ck.

To be honest, Mutia still does not believe until this moment, that the closest cousin sister to him, it turns out to be a thorn in his household.

"One year you guys hooked up behind my back, so why is Sonya pregnant? You guys should have kept quiet."

"Because I don't want to hurt Sonya anymore to hide our relationship."

No longer want to hurt Sonya, he said. What about Mutia's feelings? I don't know how much more Haikal will hurt him. The man continued to scratch the wound in his heart, making Mutia feel even more crushed. Mutia smiled bitterly.

His heart was indeed crumpled, but Mutia would not show it to Haikal and Sonya. He wanted the two people to see only how strong and strong he was, despite being betrayed.

"Sonya's pregnancy will make you rethink to reject my wishes. You will definitely think about the fate of the baby."

Cunning. Two years married, Mutia knew Haikal as a gentle and loving person. But today Mutia saw the other side of the man. An ambitious person who will do anything to achieve his goals.

"So.. are you getting married? Then what about me? You're gonna divorce me, Kal? Given that our marriage only happened because of an arranged marriage and that my parents were also dead, so you have no more reason to be with me in this marriage."

"No, Mutia. I'm not that bad, divorcing you after I've been with the woman I love. We've talked about it and Sonya's willing to be a second wife."

Not that bad, you said. Did you know that your love for Sonya made my heart bleed, Kal. You are more than evil. You brute!

"I'm sorry, Mutia."

Sonya's voice caught Mutia's attention. As the minutes passed, the woman just kept quiet after saying that she was pregnant, now again made a sound and said a bullshit sentence, which made Mutia turn her eyes panted.

"Sorry you mean nothing."

"Mutia!" Haikal raised his voice. Almost his anger exploded, if only Sonya did not immediately grab her arm and shook her head slowly.

"I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I can't help myself falling in love with your husband, Mutia. If I can choose, I also don't want to love people's husbands, let alone that man is my own cousin's husband. Because of this love as well, I'm willing to share it with you."

But I'm not willing, because I know Haikal loves you.

Closing her eyes for a moment, Mutia took a deep breath. "At least give me some time to calm down, Haikal. Your betrayal shakes me. That's also if you still have sympathy for me."

Haikal tightens jaws. Mutia's words seemed to say; you are evil, Haikal. But in reality, Mutia's father is the bad one. If only Sugiono —Dad Mutia— did not ask his father to marry them, because the age of the man who was not long due to his illness and if only his father did not have a debt of gratitude to Sugiono, Haikal could not marry a woman he did not love. So. it is already a consequence of Mutia, who will feel pain when she finds the woman she loves.

"All right."

Then Haikal got up from his seat, invited Sonya and left Mutia who now covered her face with her hands and began to cry. His defenses collapsed, his sturdy mask had disappeared. Now Mutia sobbed bitterly, regretting the fate of her marriage.
