Wife Interlude

Bab.75 Wretched

Anjas who had free time after seeing the land for the construction of the house one of the next clients took the initiative to meet his wife and son. He who knows that Tari and Syafira are in a bookstore, drives a car to a bookstore that is on his way home.

Arriving at the parking lot Anjas deliberately parked in a place that otherwise would not be seen by Tari, because he wanted to give a surprise profit of his wife and child. Patiently, she waited for Tari to get out of the bookstore to make it easier to meet her.

Yes, after Tari received it back, Anjas did not want to make the same mistake again. Now Anjas as much as possible to take his time and attention for his wife and child. Long waited for Anjas to call Tari to ask her whereabouts when he suddenly saw Tari walking towards the car along with Syafira beside him.

However, his forehead frowned as he saw Hilman then pull up Tari, their legs running together away from the car, the two even leaving Syafira alone in the car. Even so Anjas still think positive and choose to follow the two secretly, to surprise Dance he even had time to give a hand signal when Syafira almost shouted to him.

Anjas was just about to say hello when he heard Hilman talk about his relationship and Dance, to make Anjas stop his steps, so he stopped his steps, he stared at the debate between his wife and his best friend who were arguing about their hot night.

His heart paused for a moment when the bitter reality he now heard from his wife's mouth, Anjas clenched his hands tightly, enduring the turmoil of taste mixed in his heart.

Shocked, angry, incredulous, and disappointed, mixed into one. Imagining his wife spending the night with his best friend really made him not be able to believe all that could happen. He can barely control himself.

"What are you guys doing?" Withholding every sense that pressed down on his heart, Anjas finally let out a trudging sound.

Hearing her voice, Tari and Hilman seemed to turn to her with faces that looked shocked and panicked. As much as Anjas' energy held back his emotions considering that this was a public place, many people went back and forth to enter the store, making Tari and Hilman their attention since.

"Mass?"

"nurse?"

They muttered simultaneously, with widened eyes, as they looked at the man who was now standing not far from the two. Hilman immediately released Tari from his cage.

Seeing a gap, Tari ran over to Anjas with a face that looked panicked.

"Mas I can explain everything," said Tari with a trembling voice, she clasped Anjas' hand in an agitated motion.

Anjas did not reply he let go of Tari's hand and walked over to Hilman who was still standing in his place.

His eyes turned red, staring intently at the man he considered to be his own brother. Disappointment and anger are now beginning to take over control of the mind so it feels like he wants to kill Hilman right now.

"Basic jerk!" jolt Anjas while raising his fist right on Hilman's left cheek, until the man looks staggered.

"Mas!" Dance shouted while running towards her husband and best friend, fear and worry made her confused about what to do.

"You can spend the night with my wife, Hilman! You betrayed your own best friend, huh!" Anjas squeezes the collar of Hilman's shirt and takes him back to stand upright in front of her.

"I love him-"

"Suck!"

Hilman's words were cut off by one more blow that Anjas did on his left cheek, making the corner of his lips feel sore accompanied by blood that went out.

"Mas, stop, Mas!" Dari tried to break even though her screams seemed inaudible to her husband who now continues to raise his fist at Hilman.

"That all happened because you wasted it, Anjas. I won't go near your wife if you can treat her well!" said Hilman who even continues to provoke Anjas emotions.

"You jerk, you're wishing for Dance and remarrying another woman!" Hilman repulsed Anjas with the rest of his strength.

"Mas!" Dari ventured to bring her legs closer to her husband she was about to break up Anjas and Hilman who had lost control.

"Hilman, stop!" his cry was about to enter into dispute. However, because the two men had lost their minds, Tari was even slammed because of the accidental hit by Hilman who tried to get rid of him. Dance pushed to enter the highway area.

"Dance!" Anjas yelled as a car sped up and then hit the body of the unbalanced Dari, in front of his own eyes.

"No, Dance!" Anjas immediately got up he ran over to his wife's body which was lying covered in blood on the road.

"Mama!" Syafira who had been silent in the car since then, watched the talk of his parents finally ventured to go outside when he saw his mother was hit by a car.

The terrible incident that was so fast, immediately diverted the attention of the people around there, one by one they approached then began to gather to make a circle around Tari and Anjas who was now holding his wife's body.

"Well, Mama?!" Sayafira cried beside Anjas to see that her mother's body had been covered in blood and was unconscious.

Meanwhile, Hilman who was surprised by what happened, stared at the crowd who were checking the condition of Tari, there was also a person who secured the car of the collider.

"No .. There's no way I'm making you wretched, Tari. A–aku-" Hilman stared at her hand that had accidentally pushed Tari's body until the accident occurred.

"Honey, wake up don't make me afraid like this," Anjas said as he rubbed the face of Tari who was now starting to turn pale.

"Please call an ambulance!" yelled Anjas at the people around him.

"Honey, open his eyes, I beg you," Anjas said with a trembling voice and tears that escaped.

His heart ached as if pierced by thousands of daggers, his heart pounding so fast with thoughts he could no longer control. Regret was felt so big in his heart, various words if even crossed his head.

If only I could control my emotions. If only I could be more patient. If only Hilman and I had not quarreled, and all the others would have kept turning in his mind.

"Well, Mamah?" Syafira kept asking, the girl refused all those who wanted to take her away from the scene, she clung tightly to Anjas hand.

Anjas turned his eyes to the child, hugged his son with one hand and kissed Syafira on the head.

"Well, he'll be fine" Anjas said.

Moments later the ambulance arrived, Anjas and Syafira joined the ambulance along with Tari and the medics. Anjas had not even cared about his clothes which contained blood spots belonging to Tari. Her hands hugged Syafira tightly while her eyes confirmed if Tari was handled properly.

They arrive at a nearby hospital after some time struggling with road congestion, Anjas cradles Syafira following a gurney carrying Tari into the hospital.

"Sorry, are you the guardian of the patient?" One of the hospital's officers prevented Anjas.

"Yes" nodded Anjas.

"May you take a minute to fill in the data and take care of the administration?" ask the hospital staff.

Anjas stared at the gurney that began to be brought into the emergency room, then chose to nod and follow the hospital attendant with Syafira who was still in his trunk. His mind was torn between the condition of his wife and the procedures he had to do for Tari to be dealt with immediately, not to mention Syafira who had not stopped crying in her car since.
