Betrayed My Husband
Not Sincerely Loving

(POV Adam)

It didn't take long, I had already arrived at the simple house I had contracted to live with Astri. This house is far from luxurious. But, back then I just thought that Astri would stay a while in this house. After I told the truth about our status to Aqila, and I was sure that Aqila would accept that even if she was slightly injured, Astri could go to Aqila's mansion.

However, reality does not always live up to expectations. It's not just Astri who can't get into that mansion, even I can't stay in it.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

I knocked on the wooden door in front of me firmly. Although this is a rented house, but not in conjunction with other neighboring houses.

After twice I knocked and called Astri, the woman with the big belly opened the door for me.

"Mas.." she said with a floating smile as I showed her a special bag of eggs which she ordered in a blue plastic bag.

"Sorry, yeah. I just got home. It was a long meeting. Because the client from Bogor was a little chatty. In addition to buying martabak, the queue is amazing," I lied so that Astri did not ask me much more.

"Why not tell me to get pregnant, Mom? Usually, if you use that style, it must be given first," he replied as he took my hand into the house, after I finished locking the wooden door.

"What the hell, Dek?" I just can't believe it.

"Yes, Mas. Pregnant women are special. Eat whatever you can, as long as you can. Shopping should come first. Ask for less price, certainly loved too. Pamali takes pregnant people shopping from her stall, she said. Because the pregnant woman is believed to bring a lot of sustenance in the place where she shops,"

"It's really special, honey. I never thought there was such a myth."

"Eat it, next time you go shopping take me!" he said it was full of emphasis.

I can indeed be said to rarely bring Astri shopping. If in the past, of course the reason for fear of fear with Aqila. But even after the divorce, I haven't been able to take her to a public place as my young wife. Either because I still love Aqila so much, or because I didn't really seriously love Astri in the first place. I was confused and could not understand my feelings.

On the one hand, I hate it when Aqila gets close and smiles happily with the man named Roman. Is he able to forget about me and accept the other man in his heart? Or indeed it was because of that man that Aqila insisted on wanting a divorce from me, in order to freely be with the man of her dreams.

"Mas... Mas.." the voice of Astri's call broke my daydream.

"Eh... Yes.." I answered stammeringly.

"Kok Mas daydreaming anyway? Think again what? Wh who? Aqila's sister, huh?" Astri strapped me with questions.

"No, my dear. You don't have to think strangely. Also think of him. Mending Mas thought you were the same as our child-to-be." I said while stroking his big belly that was round like a ball.

"Eh, Mum. I called your ex-wife." Astri said in a rather slow voice.

"He said he had given him seventy millions. How can you give me only ten million? Where are the rest, Mas?"

Astri's question surprised me. I who was pouring vinegar into the bowl was silent for a moment. Then, pretend nothing happened and continue my activities.

"It's been... You don't need to listen to her words. He lied to you. How could he give Mas that much money, if he just hurt us both. Aye right?" my words convinced Astri that my words were right.

I deliberately blamed Aqila, because there was no way I would tell Astri the truth.

"I feel that way too, Mom. There's no way he's giving you that kind of money, and it's even more unlikely that you won't tell me that much money if he's giving!" grouse Astri while plucking a piece of martabak telor and chocolate it into the spicy vinegar sauce.

"Yes, Honey. Da... Come on, don't talk about him anymore. Males really heard his name."

"Yes, Mas. It's me bribe, won't it?" Astri thrust a piece of martabak into my mouth.

I gobbled up the food, then let Astri finish the rest. I waited for him to finish eating and then we went to bed. Astri should not be a lot of thoughts and activities at this gestational age, because it will be susceptible to giving birth to premature babies.

So, I as much as possible keep my heart and mind calm and comfortable. Although my heart doesn't love Astri very much, it's containing my flesh and blood. I try to behave and for the sake of my descendants.

After making sure Astri was fast asleep, I moved slowly leaving the mid-size bed. To be honest, I really missed sleeping on the soft bed with Aqila. Spending a long night with des*han Aqila who always makes me never feel satisfied to shake his beautiful body.

I sat in the living room and lit a cigarette. Then, look back at the mobile phone that displayed Aqila's pretty face. I still can't accept this farewell.

In a way, I love Aqila so much to this day. However, on the other hand I also felt heartache at this demeanor and behavior that lowered my pride.

"Aqila darling... Don't you miss me? I'm the husband you've always been proud of everyone. I'm the husband that makes your friends envious and amazed. You dumped me because I asked you to accept Astri?"

I exhaled cigarette smoke into the air and took a deep breath, then exhaled it violently. What I will do to that woman tomorrow is the thing I have avoided the most these few days.

However, I could no longer let him still laugh loosely on top of my suffering. I have to teach him a little lesson. Perhaps, with a slight threat will make him fall back and submit to me.

I've been thinking about this all right. For the sake of my pride, I must act decisively and openly from this moment on. Tomorrow I'll see Mami. I got word that Mami's back here.

Fortunately Aqila still has Mami, although Mami left her and her father to be with another man but Aqila has forgiven him. At our wedding Mami came to apologize to Aqila, and because of my persuasion Aqila finally wanted to forgive her. Although they still do not live together, and Mami lives in London at this time.

"Mommy didn't know we were divorced. I'll ask Mami for help so that tomorrow I can enter Aqila's house." I said and put out the cigarette fire that was still burning.

After gargling and drinking a glass of water, I went back to the room and slept beside Astri.
