EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
67. Contrition

Juna couldn't hold back the tears on his way home to his parents' residence. Sometimes he wipes it, embarrassed by the glance of the father who seemed to realize his condition. Even Juna let his father drive the car because he was not sure he could focus on driving because his mind was really raging.

Apparently this is what it feels like. Betrayed and lied to. He only realized it shortly after Yara mentioned another man's name. Sky. Yes, apparently Sky was that man-who had been present in the middle of his household with Yara. Took the heart of his wife who he had obviously hurt and betrayed.

Yes, Juna is aware that Sky's presence has not escaped his mistake as well - which has unintentionally given others access to it. Sky was like water slipping through that crack. Cracked by his own actions.

Inwardly, Juna compares himself to a Sky Lazuardi. He took a deep breath, it was obvious he had lost a landslide.

"What happened, don't you regret it. But, you have to learn from your mistakes!" chirp Pak Bayu to the son.

Juna massaged his temple. His eyes looked at the streets out there.

"You know that guy named Sky?" Ms. Laksmi who was sitting in the back seat could no longer cover her curiosity.

Juna nodded. "He's Yara's schoolmate. A few months ago, Yara joined a reunion. I didn't think it would be the beginning of a reunion between them, Ma" he said.

Ms. Laksmi put on a sour face. He is also unhappy with the fact that Yara has betrayed Juna. But, what to say, his son's actions were even worse and it had happened for many years. He cannot defend Juna, nor can he blame Yara. Everything feels so wrong.

"Yes, you are religiously divorced. Later immediately take care of it to the court before Anton takes care of it first," said Pak Bayu.

Previously, after Yara said Sky's name in the midst of Juna's curiosity, the woman immediately asked Juna to say the word talak.

Finally, with a heavy heart Juna granted it. His voice sounded trembling because at the end of his relationship with Yara today, then a very deep regret hit the entire side in him.

Yara is a good woman whom she has disappointed and betrayed. Yara whom he had hurt and Yara whom he had wasted.

God, what kind of karma will he receive? After hurting the heart of a wife who has been serving and accompanying?

Until his parents' residence, Juna went straight into the room he used to live in while single. In the mansion, Juna lives alone as her parents' hope - ever since her sibling, Shinta, died in her teens - due to illness.

Juna did not want to be bothered, he wanted to reflect on all this in his room. Both parents can only sniff their shoulders because they see their son's behavior. They hope that this incident can be the biggest lesson for Juna's life.

Juna was sitting on the lip of the bed, he grabbed his own head. Yara is no longer his wife. In the next few months the status will officially change after a letter from the court falls before him.

Juna decided to lie down, he closed his eyes tightly, still hoping that all this was just a dream. However, what he got when closed was precisely a picture when Sky was touching Yara's body, leaving a reddish mark that he had found at that time. At that moment Juna sat down. Jealousy attacks him, but what can he do? Yara is no longer his wife religiously. The talaq fell a few hours ago.

When Juna was still imagining Sky's treatment of Yara, which sparked his anger, his phone suddenly rang. There's Shanum's name listed as calling.

"Yes? You didn't come home here?" Shanum's voice was waiting for his answer from across the line.

"No. I'm still at Mama's house."

"Certainly? I'm going to sleep alone tonight??"

"Yes, Num. Wherever we are not officially married." he said without even thinking.

Shanum just chuckled across there. "Yes? You're fucking around again, huh? Where have you been all this time? Now you just realized we're getting married, huh?" chortled.

"Udahlah Num, my head is dizzy again. We're not married yet, you want me to keep sleeping before we get officially married?" random answer.

"Juna? What the hell are you doing?"

"Udahlah, do not need to call again if only to make my mind more runnyam. Appreciate yourself, Num! Don't force me to go back there before our status is clear!"

Juna knew his words this time must be very interesting for Shanum, maybe even he had also dumped the woman's self-esteem. But, how else, sometimes Shanum's attitude is often self-defeating.

Juna disconnected his call next to the side. He wants to go back to sleep, even though he will have nightmares tonight. At least he wanted to avoid reality by sleeping for a moment.

"You live here, deck. No need to contract anymore." Anton prevented Yara's return tonight. He knew Yara wasn't staying at Nadine's house.

"Yara's been paying rent for the next month, Mas."

"It's okay, I'll change your money" Anton said lightly.

"It's not about the money, Mom. But it's going to be redundant."

Anton was silent. I don't know what that guy is thinking now. Yara is also confused, Anton was very defensive of her in front of Juna's parents. But now Anton seems indifferent. Did Yara have any wrong words earlier.

After a long silence, Anton finally spoke again.

"You don't want to contract anymore. Here aja. This is Mas's house, your brother. Don't stay alone in the contract especially with your current status."

"Mass?" Yara looked at Anton with a questioning look.

"Don't ask why deck, mas don't want you to give access to other men into your life while your divorce process with Juna is not finished. I just want to keep your good name. I hope you understand what I mean."

Yara was silent. Yes, now he understood why Anton forbade him to contract alone.

"Get between you to grab your stuff yeah..." Anton's voice began to soften.

This was where Yara ventured to ask.

"Mas, are you afraid that Yara will find another man in Yara's contract? Is that?"

Anton just slicked his shoulders. "You know what I mean most, the deck." he said.

"I've never slept with another man, Mom!" yara frontal.

Anton clucked his tongue. "So, Sky? Is he that guy?" tanyanya.

Yara lowered her face. "Mas, Yara equals Sky---"

"Mas wants to see him later. But, after your relationship with Juna is really gone. Can you?" serobot Anton cut the words of his brother.

Yara nodded slowly. "I'll tell him later."

Anton thinning lips. "Yes, you sleep here tonight. Tomorrow mas anter work if you still want to work. About your stuff we can also pick up tomorrow. Break the deck!" he said as he was about to pass.

"Mass?"

Anton stopped his steps and glanced at Yara.

"Hmm?"

"Thank you very much, Mom."

The man smiled while nodding. Before long he completely passed from before Yara.
