Secretly, Haura looked at her husband who did not speak when they had been sitting for almost half an hour. Just eating lunch without any talk.
Haura cleared her throat for a while, put the spoon and fork on the table and then blatantly looked at Aaron.
"Mas Aaron asked me to meet to talk about what's important? I have to go" said Haura.
Aaron who had been silent since then returned Haura's gaze. The beautiful beauty of the woman can always make Aaron fall in love, unfortunately it is always covered by the truth of the affair of the woman before him.
"I'm getting married" said Aaron finally after a long time playing with heart and mind. Since then the man did not focus on eating, just pretended to focus so as not to look too nervous in front of Haura.
Silence struck again when Aaron said three words that made Haura's heart like a big chunk of stone. Under the table, the woman's hand was squeezing her robe very tightly.
Trying not to cry also does not want to believe the words of the man she loves.
"Haura?" call Aaron.
Haura forced her smile, even though her chest felt tight. "Mas Aaron asked for permission, or told me?"
"Tell you."
Again and again Haura just smiled in response to her husband's hurtful sentence. Look, the man came to tell, not to ask permission. Isn't it obvious, Haura is no longer a part of Aaron's life? The man thought of him as someone else.
"Then marry Mas, may the second marriage bring happiness beyond the first marriage. But ...." Swallowing his salivation was quite difficult, especially his gaze and Aaron back against each other.
"Certify me. I don't want to be polygamous, even though the guarantee is Heaven. My heart is not as vast as the ocean to receive others in our broken marriage." After saying his heart, Haura lowered her head again, not wanting Aaron to see her beautiful eyes that were beginning to dew.
The AC in the restaurant did not make the heat all over Haura's body disappear since hearing her husband's words.
It turns out I was expecting too much from Aaron who never loved me. It turns out his behavior all this time was just a mere responsibility as a husband, not a man who loves his wife.
There were no tears Haura dripped wet the hijab she was wearing, no matter how hard she held back, the clear circle just kept falling without being prevented.
"I will forgive all your mistakes, provided you allow me to marry Vivian. He needs me to heal ...."
Aaron's sentence was choked when Haura pulled his hand forcefully. "Whoever is that woman, and whatever the reason I don't want to be polygamous Mas. Just let Aaron hate me for the mistakes I've done all this time. Vivian needs you, but I don't."
Haura got up from her seat because she could not stem the pain in her chest. He wanted to cry as much as possible, but not in front of Aaron.
"Certify me!"
Aaron whining. "No, I'll forgive you if you ...."
"I also want to live happily and marry the man I love. Maybe our relationship is enough to get here."
"You weren't happy when you married me? You once said you loved me, Huara. Is it all a lie?" Aaron stood up because he was disturbed by the happy word that came out of his wife's mouth.
The man's hands clenched violently, his anger had just subsided after a few days and was intending to forget about Haura's mistake, but the woman instead acted back up.
"I've never been happy in our marriage, which is why I've been in a tacit relationship with another man. I wanted a child, but you didn't get me pregnant. May our farewells be the way to unlock each other's happiness."
Haura stepped out of the restaurant without looking back. The woman confessed to all the charges that Aaron had made, in order for the man to be satisfied and hate her even more.
Just let someone else say bad about her, as long as she doesn't do everything will be fine.
Haura stopped her steps after being at the bus stop. Sitting alone while wiping her tears with her hands. She was once devastated when her parents left, her heart always ached while being tormented by her in-laws.
But only this time the pain seemed to want to kill him slowly. It was all because of Aaron's honesty.
"If you had answered me for permission, I might have considered polygamy for our son's sake, but you just told me, where you don't need my opinion."
