Wedding Tears And The Gorge of Infidelity

Always Home Late at Night

Joseph continued to face a busy work schedule, which forced him to return home late at night. Although his heart was eager to resolve the conflict with Aminah and unite his family, his work tasks continued to demand a lot of attention.

Aminah, on the other hand, faithfully waited for her husband to come home until nightfall. She looked forward to the sound of Joseph's steps entering the door, and her hope would be healed when she saw her husband. However, he had to wait until it was too late, until he finally fell asleep with a hollow heart.

Problems continued to pile up and the conflict in the marriage of Aminah and Joseph had not found an adequate solution. Things get more complicated when Joseph gets an urgent assignment, which requires him to leave for three days. This is a bigger challenge in their efforts to improve their relationship.

As long as Joseph was not at home due to duty outside the city, Aminah continued to live with a sense of emptiness and uncertainty. Joseph's absence makes her miss her husband even more, even if their conflict has not been resolved. She tries to live a daily routine, take care of Hana, and talk to their grandmother, but there is a deep void in her life.

Meanwhile, Joseph was busy completing his urgent tasks. Although she tries to focus on work, feelings of guilt and anxiety about her marriage continue to haunt her.

As Aminah drove Hana to school, she then turned around to go home. However, fate seems to have other plans. On the way home, Aminah accidentally meets Farhan, someone from her past.

They looked at each other, and in an instant, the memories of the past they once shared together began to flood Aminah's mind. They used to be good friends, and back then, their relationship was very close.

The meeting between Aminah and Farhan took place in the middle of a quiet street. The two stared at each other with mixed feelings. Farhan, with a tone of emotion read in his voice, started the conversation.

Farhan: "Well, we haven't seen each other in a long time. How are you?"

Aminah felt a complicated feeling inside her. This meeting was a surprise he had not planned, and he felt he did not know how to respond.

Aminah: (with a doubtful tone) "Farhan, yes, it has been a long time. I'm.. I'm fine."

Farhan: (with a concerned expression) "I cannot help but notice your expression, Aminah. What the hell is going on?"

Aminah felt the need to tell a little about the conflict in her marriage, although she felt being open to Farhan could be a risk.

Aminah: "We, I and Joseph, are facing problems in our marriage. Conflict and tension, you know."

Farhan: "I am so sorry to hear that, Aminah. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Aminah felt haru by Farhan's concern, but she also felt worried about further complications.

Aminah: (in a tinge of emotion) "I'm not sure, Farhan. I need to focus on my family and try to mend my relationship with Joseph."

Farhan, upon hearing that Aminah was facing a complicated marriage conflict, was concerned and wanted to stay in touch with her. He felt that he could provide support as a friend. With kindness, Farhan asked for Aminah's number.

Farhan: "Well, maybe we can keep in touch. If there's anything I can help you with, or if you just need someone to talk to, I want to always be there for you. Can I have your phone number?"

Aminah, overwhelmed by Farhan's kindness, agreed to give her phone number.

Aminah: "Sure, Farhan. I appreciate your offer. It's my hp number."

After an unexpected encounter with Farhan, Aminah decides to return home. In his heart, he carried complicated feelings and unanswered questions.

Arriving at home, Aminah and Hana go through their usual daily routine. Aminah made sure Hana had eaten and prepared herself to go to school. Although her heart was agitated, she tried not to show any concern to her son.

***

Joseph, who was out of town for a very important work meeting, felt his mind was divided between work and marriage. For some time now, the conflict in his household with Aminah had given him a heavy burden of mind. She feels a responsibility to ensure that her work goes well, but the uncertainty in her domestic relationships always bothers her.

When the meeting with the client, known as the Client, was over, Joseph felt compelled to go home immediately and resolve the problems at home. His mind was full of questions and doubts, and he wanted to convince Aminah that he wanted to improve their relationship.

However, due to his mind being torn between work and household, Joseph involuntarily left his cell phone at the cafe table when he was about to go home. The anxiety and pressure that built up made him so disturbed that he lost consciousness of his surroundings.

When he was away from the cafe and on his way home, Joseph realized that his phone was left behind. It was a mistake that he had not noticed before, and now, he felt increasingly worried and did not know how to contact Aminah or vice versa.

The cafe waiter who saw the phone left on Joseph's desk immediately picked it up and reported the incident to his superior. The maid also proposed opening the phone so they could try to contact her family or find relevant contact information.

At the suggestion of the waiter, the cafe manager opened the phone carefully. They looked for contacts connected to "Home" or "Emergency" in hopes of finding a number that could contact Joseph's family. They wanted to help get the phone back to its owner and alleviate any concerns Joseph or his family might have.

The manager of the cafe, a woman with no ill intentions, finds contact with the name "Wife" on Yusuf's phone and immediately calls the number. He hopes to tell his family that Joseph's cell phone has been found and is safe. However, when Aminah, who was Joseph's wife, answered the phone, the conversation did not go as expected.

Cafe Manager: "Hello, sorry to interrupt. I want to let you know that we found a cell phone left behind in our cafe. Are you the wife of the owner of this phone?"

Aminah: (in an anxious tone) "Yes, I am the wife of Joseph. But why do you have his phone? Where is he? What's going on?"

Cafe Manager: "I just wanted to let you know that his phone was found and we want to return it safely. But now he's not here, is he?"

Aminah: (in an increasingly anxious tone) "No, she should have gone home. Why is the phone there? What's going on?"

Cafe Manager: "I'm not sure, but we found his phone at the cafe table. We want to give it back to you. He left without realizing it."

Aminah: (in a suspicious tone) "This is absurd. Why is his phone in the cafe? He cheated, didn't he? What the hell is going on?"

Cafe Manager: "Sorry, that's not what I meant. We just want to return the phone. I don't know what really happened. I just found his phone at the cafe table."

Aminah, with a heart full of suspicion and a sense of being haunted, ended up hanging up without giving the cafe manager a chance to explain further. She feels her world is crumbling, and too much uncertainty and contention in her marriage has left her fragile.

As he cried, his rushing tears flowed without him noticing. Hana, their wise child beyond her age, has seen it all. He looked at his mother with a worried look. Aminah's anxiety and confusion filled Hana's mind as she watched her mother being so hurt.

Aminah: (in a trembling voice) "Why does everything have to be like this, dear? Mama just wants what's best for you."

Hana, who was a child, tried to give a small hug to her mother with a kiss on Aminah's cheek. She was afraid to see her mother cry like this.

Hana: (in a soft tone) "Don't cry, Mama. Hana loves Mama."

Aminah kissed her forehead affectionately, feeling grateful to have Hana by her side. However, the conflict in her marriage had impacted the well-being of her family, and she did not know how to deal with this problem.

Aminah: (in the heart) "What should we do, dear? How do we get through all this?"
