Trying To Be Faithful

Explanations that reveal secrets

After arriving at the house the tense atmosphere was inevitable. They all held back their emotions, confused about where to start the conversation.

"Who wants to explain something?" asked Raden, the family head who finally spoke up.

"Sister was in that brothel? Say it!" Akhtia who could not hold back her curiosity and anger spoke.

"You misunderstood, Akhtia."

"Eat explain!" The voice of Akhtia shrieks. Raden could only massage the base of his nose, while Hasna cried.

"Dec, talk good. Don't yell, we're all here-"

"Why should men?" akhtia asked the God, ignoring Airlangga's words.

"I covered my eyes and ears about the rumors of my brother loving me, I also closed my eyes with the photos people sent me, but it was my own brother who made things clear."

"What's the matter exactly? Tia, say."

"Bah, there's someone who sent a picture of the Lord's brother kissing another man. He also said that brother God was dating that guy. It is only fitting that all this time Brother God treated me so carelessly, it turns out that he was not interested. Okay, married without love but it doesn't make sense during marriage, sleeping together, under the same blanket, Brother God never touched me at all. Isn't it in the dramas even without love they can have a husband and wife relationship? Others even have a child. It turns out he's not interested in women."

"I'm not like that!" Gods shouting.

"Keep why is sister there with a man who doesn't wear clothes? Then why can you kiss with that guy!"

"Tia, Son. Calm down, no emotions. You sit down, let's talk about it."

Hasna hugged her daughter so she would sit down and be a little calmer.

"Patience, Son. Listen to the explanation from the gods, yeah." Hasna rubbed Achtia's back, and wiped away her tears.

"He's Arnold. He's a friend who can be said to have been like sodara, papi and mami also know. We're close, very close. Maybe that's why people can suspect you're an abnormal partner."

The god explained it straightforwardly. While others heard carefully, except for Achtia who was like to refuse with all the explanations of her husband.

"People's rumors make papi and mami angry, they no longer allow us to be close friends. Long time ago he and I didn't see each other, until I found out he was a gigolo in the house."

God breathes heavily, of course because he is disappointed in his friend who took the dirty path, even though he is not from a family of poor people.

"Regarding the kissing photo, it was we were doing a challenge, not just me and him who was there actually. We have seven people. At that time I was playing tissue transfer by using the mouth, you know how the game was booming in its time. Maybe I'm just gonna take some tissue out of Arnold's mouth, the knife fell off and yeah."

"What kind of game it is, how disgusting it is" said Hasna.

"That's a challenge, Bun. We did it to meet the challenge also at that time.Betlah, that's."

Everyone is silent. The explanation of the Gods was indeed very reasonable, although it was annoyed but could not be blamed as well.

"Okay, let's just say everything is clear. Don't be troubled again. I hope what you say isn't just an excuse, God."

"Yes, Pa. I swear that is the truth. Anyway .. I'm normal. I love a woman."

Everyone glanced at each other, especially Akhtia. They glanced at Achtia at a glance.

"Yes, I know that too! Brother loves one of the going girls in this house right?" ask Akhtia ketus.

"Hmm."

"Wahhhh, looks like something's almost caught."

Now the eyes of the people there were staring at Puput. From his words, it seemed like Puput knew who the woman the God loved.

"You why? How can you see me like that?" tanya Puput looked at his family members in turn.

"You're the woman you mean Brother God. You're that girl."

"Huh, aaaku?" ask the Frog while pointing at his own face."

"Yes, I know the Lord is very considerate of you. I also know brother Dewa rent a cafe in front of your school to open 24 hours when you spend at school, so what? So he can wait for you there and-"

"Oh, so you paid for the cafe to keep it open?" ask Airlangga.

"Kok Brother knows?" ask Puput.

"Because what awaits you there is Bang Airlangga, not me." Gods explained.

"Sister knows?" ask Akhtia.

"Airlangga was very worried about Puput, he went there for mastiin doang, yes I have rented a cafe just so he did not wait in the car."

"Ck ck. Great idea too Lo, Broo." Airlangga praised in a mocking tone to the Gods.

"I'm not the same attention Puput, I'm the same attention Brother-in-law," ledek Dewa while staring at Airlangga.

Yet, still. Akhtia felt sad because she felt the two men were so caring for her, not her. Though Dewa is her husband and Airlangga her biological brother.

who the hell is this stepdaughter?

The whisper of Akhtia in the heart. She came back crying.

"Then what about your online friends?" ask Akhtia. The god who was. laughed heartily at Airlangga, instantly fell silent.

"Didn't my sister love him too? How can you love another woman? Is it that easy to share love with two hearts?"

"Wait, how do you know I have friends online?" ask God.

Akhtia was crying so much. He lowered his head deeper.

"How can you just forget about dandelion?" lirih. Achtia was still crying, this time she covered her face with both palms.

"Da-where do you know ... And-dandelions?"

Akhtia could only cry without answering her husband's questions.

"Emang Kaka god has an online theme too? Same dong kayak Tia. She also has an online friend who she says likes her sister Tia even though she has never met. Her name if it's not wrong it's .. emmm, Dealova."

The eyes of the Gods were perfectly rounded.

"Makanya .. all Kak Tia's stuff has her initials DD, it's Dealova and Dandelion. Uh, wait a minute. Kaka Dewa kayak who knows Dandelion?" Puput squinted his eyes, as if he was looking at something.

"Oh, don't-don't ...."

"Yes, I'm Dealova."

Prok!

Puput clapping hands.

"Omooo, you guys are so daebakk. Falling in love in cyberspace and getting married in the real world. A truly unique destiny. Whoa, whoa ...." Puput frenzied himself while Hasan, Raden and Airlangga just silent without understanding anything.

"What are you talking about, anyway? Mother does not understand."

"So gini, Bun-"

"But for free, Dealova already loves other women in the real world, and it's not me, it's you." Akhtia looked at Puput.

"I? Why me? Why uh?" ask Puput wonder.

"I've often seen you go together, I also saw the Lord quietly to your room while carrying an expensive brand paper bag. He's also very considerate of you, brother God likes you, Put."

"Is that why you've been angry with me all this time? Brother jealous?"

"Yes, why? I wrong? Okay, me and my God brother are married without love, but who can control our hearts and feelings? Every moment together. From closing my eyes to re-opening the eyes of the one I saw. How could I not fall in love with my husband, Put?" the tone of Akhtia's voice rose again.

"Had to be my sister, instead of directly accusing me of that. What's wrong with asking, is it because you're embarrassed? As long as you know yes, I am sad to be shunned by my sister. All this time I was always alone before meeting with big brother, I was ignored like I was banished. That's why I left the house and stayed at the house."

"What?" Raden surprised.

"Yes, Pa. I ran away from home because my brother and sister ignored me when you weren't around."

"You guys!" Raden's furious.

"What was the big problem until you fought and made one of them uncomfortable in this house? You're all grown-ups, can't you speak well to solve problems? Why silence one of them?"

They all fell silent.

"What childish!" Raden left them. Hasna followed her husband.

"The paper bag is filled with brother's clothes if you want to know. Brother Dewa gave things to brother, he wanted to surprise sister later, he asked for my help. Why do we always go together? That's because we're preparing a surprise for Tia's sister, Lord sister wants to propose to sister in the real sense because this house girl she loves isn't me, but her own wife." Puput explained with a flat face.

He held back his disappointment in Achtia. Trying to hold back the sadness and anger.

"Excuse me," he said, wiping away the tears that had finally dripped.

"Put, wait." Airlangga.

The gods and Achtians were both silent, they still could not believe what was happening. The atmosphere of the two became so awkward that Akhtia decided to go to her room.
