Trying To Be Faithful

Painful facts

Nay and Shaki look happy as they ride the remote cars in the square. It will be very crowded on Saturday and Sunday nights.

Hasna did not want to come to Raden's house after Puput. He was afraid that Puput would not like it if he came and stayed there. By being persuaded to ride in cars and snacks, the two boys finally wanted to obey Hasna.

"I'll buy them cars like that for them."

"Don't, Mas. Don't spoil them with all the facilities you provide. I'll be troubled."

"Why?"

"One day if I can't give them what they want, they'll get angry."

"There will be me who will fulfill all their desires."

Hasna smile. Of course it was only to cover up if Hasna rejected Raden's kindness. However, he did not accept Raden's proposal.

Seeing children playing happily, accompanied by a glass of bajigur and fried food is a real pleasure.

If only you were here, Mom.

Raden glanced at Hasna. He saw the woman's eyes glistening.

Are you thinking about him who's been far away? Ah, Hasna, how special that guy is that you love him so deeply.

They both dissolve in each other's minds, until ....

"Hasna's? yes, you are Hasna."

Hasna smile. Of course it must be so because the one who greeted was Hasna's neighbor while living in her husband's house first.

"Yes, Ceu. And some snacks, too?"

"Yes, it's the kids asking for a little rickshaw ride" he said, pointing at the girls in the field.

"Ceu Ita who's here? How are you doing there? What season again?"

"Ah, just normal, Na. Same season, hot. Where do you live now? That who?"

"this is my theme, Ceu."

"Na, if you may know, why did you leave home? it is your home as the deceased. We know how you built that house. Lah, why even be given to the affair of your husband try?"

Raden looked at him quickly.

"That's, Ceu? As far as I know the house was used Mba Ana."

"Eh, yes. No, Na. It's nothing." Ceu Rosita suddenly stuttered.

"Ceu, please. Tell me the truth. What's up?" Hasna held Rosita's hands together.

"Na, you really don't know?"

"You what?"

"Your husband has another wife besides you. She also has a son, probably the same age as Shaki. They're now living in your house."

The stars twinkled, the moon was so beautiful to light up that night. But for Hasna, lightning suddenly came.

Hasna shook her head. "No, Ceu. Take it easy, I actually thank you very much Ceu Ita for telling you."

"Patience, yes, Na. Sing is strong, you can definitely. He's dead anyway. Now you just have to think about the kids. Live life happily."

"Thank you, Ceu."

"I'm sorry, Na."

Hasna nodded weakly.

Her tears could no longer be contained, her chest was hot and rumbling like a larva ready to explode.

"Patience, Na. Who knows if this is wrong, you are patient. It's impossible for your husband to do such a thing." Hasna tried to calm herself.

"Mas Azam was a good man. He loves you so much and is so good with you. Don't be so easily influenced by people's talk, Na. Don't suuzon just yet."

Hasna kept talking to herself.

"Let's just go home." Raden took Hasna home. Forcing children who still want to play. Instead, Raden bought them all they wanted so they wouldn't cry.

"It's impossible, isn't it? Definitely lying. Mas Azam couldn't be like that."

"Mother ... mother why cry?" ask Shaki.

"Na, hold on. If you believe in your husband, you shouldn't be like this. Find proof first you can cry."

Hasna's cry gets louder, and it scares Nay and Shaki. They were crying too. Raden turned around, there was no way he could have brought Hasna to his small estate. Neighbors would wake up and they would be the center of attention because of Hasna's crying.

Raden took Hasna to his house.

Hasna, who was dissolved in sadness, did not realize that she was now in Raden's house. The cries of the two boys made the house people wake up and approach them. Not with Puput and Akhtia.

"Bi, get me a drink first."

"Yes, sir."

"What's up, brother?" ask Zaelani.

Raden shook his head. He gestured for his sister to return to his room.

"Nay, why? How crying, anyway? oh, yeah, I have a funny cat. Wanna see?' Airlangga persuades Nay and Shaki. The two children did not want to escape from his mother's embrace. They were still crying because they saw Hasna still crying.

"Na, dong. Kasian your children. They are sad when you are sad. It's night, let them rest."

Hasna started to catch her breath. Trying to stop crying no more. After a bit of calm, then Nay and Shaki want to be taken away by Airlangga.

Now it's just Hasna and Raden. Raden did not ask or try to calm Hasna. He just kept silent to accompany Hasna who was still crying.

"I even feel guilty when I'm close to another man. I feel like a traitor in our marriage even though he died a long time ago. But it turns out ...."

Hasna came back crying.

Not having the heart to see Hasna in so much pain, Raden ventured closer to Hasna. Slowly pulling his body, then hugging him tightly.

Hasna also poured her pain in Raden's chest.
