An Inner Lent to My Wife's Cousin
Relationship Continued or Ended?
POV Author
Lebaran Day was over a few days ago. And it's time for Dana to go again to leave her wife and child who now seems unwilling to let go.
"Get the kids all right, Na." Dana's advice was always to his wife.
"Surely, Pah."
"Yuk kids, bring papa to the front. All of you bring papa's belongings," Dana told her three children.
Dana, Yana and their three children walk to the porch of their house and are already awaited by the black sedan car that Nana ordered to drive her husband to the port. In front of their house there are also Nana's parents who will also say goodbye to her daughter-in-law.
"Be careful, son. Take care of your health there. If there's anything call us right away," said Nana's mother.
"Yes, Mom." Dana kissed her parents-in-law's hands and turned to her children. Among them, only a weeping Nizam could not part with his father. The 6-year-old boy was still unwilling to let go of his father.
After the sad farewell event, Dana finally got into the car and left her home and small family. Nana is also not willing to let her husband go. But what power, Dana went wandering just to make a living for herself and their children. There's no way he's preventing Dana just for her selfishness.
Drrt! Drrt!

...\=\=\=...
A week had passed after Dana went to Kalimantan. However, Herman did not bring up his nostrils according to what Nana wanted that day. Nana was worried if Herman did not want to come back to his house and had time to call the man. However, Herman said that he could not come to his house because he was busy with his business. I don't know what the business is, Nana obviously doesn't know.
"Assynnya!"
"Glamma!" Nana peeked out of the living room and saw who came to her house.
"Eh, jis. Just came to you?" greet Nana to her new cousin.
"Yes, Brother. Just take Mama here," Ajis replied and sat on the floor just like Nana, but a distance away.
"Where did your mother go?"
"There's a talk in the front house, again with Aunt Sari."
"Eat already?"
"Not yet."
"Eat there in the kitchen. There is a grilled fish with vegetable soup on the table," said Nana.
"Later on, Brother. I just ate a cake in front. If I'm hungry, I'll take it myself."
Nana just bohria and then back to watching television. Herman appeared at Nana's house without saying hello first.
"Where's your mind?" ask Herman who just showed up in the living room.
Nana and Ajis turned their heads. "There's in his house. What's up?" answer Nana.
"It's okay." Herman nodded then turned towards Ajis, Yani's cousin as well. "Have you just come?"
"New, Om."
"Sama Mom. He's talking in the front house."
Herman Berohria then sat on the floor near Nana. The silent atmosphere had no conversation. Only the sound of television greeted their current sense of hearing. Ajis pulled out his phone after feeling it vibrate. Ajis is known to be a quiet person if he is not invited to talk first.
"Where is Nizam's Aras?" ask Herman.
"I don't know, maybe play at his friend's house."
Herman was silent then took a quick glance at Ajis who was busy with his phone.
"Na, I have something to talk about. But not now" said Herman.
Nana grinning. "What are you talking about?"
"There's a point, but not now. I can come here later in the night?"
Nana thought for a moment. "I don't know, Bang, because look at the situation of the children first. If it's safe, I'll send a message to brother."
Herman lay on the floor and used his left arm as his head pad. "Ok, I'll tell you later tonight if it's safe."
"Can I take a moment of my hand? Pegel felt really yesterday abis lift the sack of cement," complained Herman handed his right hand to Nana.
"Partially why do you use to lift all cement sacks? 'And there's a handyman who used to pick up?" said Nana but approached Herman and then massaged the hand that was considered her second husband.
"Yes, but I just want to help them. There's no way I'll just see them with their hard work lifting the cement" said Herman enjoying Nana's massage.
"Oh, is the road project in kampung xxx finished?"
"Already, even the road can be used the same residents there."
Nana was silent and continued to do a massage on Herman's hands. "Black is your hand, Bang. Put on the handbody there to be a little white-white."
"It's black because it works too often in the sun. If the black man is a sign that he is a man who works hard" replied Herman.
"Yes, it's up to your brother."
"But you're scraping my brother's back." Herman turned around until now he lay face down on the floor.
"Ish, what the hell! Nana's hands are tired if you want to crack brother!" reject Nana.
"Kok you that's it. It's okay once. This is my body not feeling well because of the cold last night," Herman said.
"Where was last night?"
"Not anywhere, just stay up at the coffee shop with friends until 12."
"That's saying don't go out at night if you don't want to catch a cold. I knew that in his hawk village it was very cold at night," Nana scolded but still took coins and massage oil near the television.
After that there were only small chats from them as Nana scratched Herman's back. They were busy alone without realizing if there was someone who had glanced at their familiarity.
Although Nana and Herman use a regional language that Ajis does not understand, but he knows a few words that he knows from the language of the region. But what makes him suspicious, so intense their familiarity like they have a special relationship. However, Ajis dismissed all these bad thoughts because he considered them a family. It was likely that they had been used to doing such a thing all along.
...\=\=\=...
"Na, I want to say that our marital status is not legal in the eyes of religion" Herman told Nana.
They are currently at Nana's house and are on Dinda's bed after letting go of their longing. At first Herman came just to explain this to Nana. However, looking at Nana's clothes that only use lingerie, the turmoil of Herman's passion rose turbulent. Moreover, Nana's seduction on him to make Herman forget the purpose he came tonight.
Yes, Nana and Herman were in Dinda's room because the owner of the room spent the night at her grandmother's house with Aras. While Nizam was in the main room in a state of slumber. On the first floor of the house Nana only has two rooms. One for Dinda and another for Nana, her husband, and her two sons. The second floor of Nana could not be built because they still lack the money to pay the builders to work later.
Nana looked at Herman in disbelief. "A-you're serious, Bang?"
"Seriously, Muhlis has explained everything about our marriage. He said that marrying a woman who is still the husband of a person is illegitimate and unlawful. That's why I wanted to see you that day and wanted to explain this," Herman said, staring at Nana.
Nana just kept quiet while listening to Herman's explanation. He does not believe that his second marriage is illegitimate and the law is illegal.
"But honestly, Na, I'm not willing to let go of our relationship. I don't want our relationship to end" Herman said of his feelings.
Yes, all this time he thought about what path he should take after knowing everything. However, when he wanted to stop and let go of everything, in his little heart there was a feeling of unwillingness when their relationship was equally comfortable. That's why Herman felt careless thinking about what path he should take.
"I've thought about it, Na, if I don't want our relationship to end. But if you want to stop, I can't do anything either. I will accept your decision" said Herman who resigned will accept Nana's decision later. He cannot be selfish in his wishes. The marriage was due to Nana. If Nana wants to stop then she has to accept the woman's decision
After a few minutes of silence, Nana finally opened her voice, "well, Bang, Nana also did not know this. Better to go home first. Nana had to think first about what decision Nana should take after this. For a while don't call Nana before I make a decision."
Nana took her clothes scattered on the floor and put them on. While Herman just bowed quietly feeling a dilemma and worried about Nana's decision. However, he hopes that Nana will continue this relationship.

The above incident is true happened that I had experienced. At first, he was suspicious of their closeness. I was trying to think positively at the time. But after everything was revealed, I came to know that they did have a special relationship all along.
