Chapter 50

"Sarin!"

"Arvan," said Karin nervously.

"You're here? Where's your husband?" tanyakanya.

"I'm here on work, '" he replied.

"He who?" ask the man who was with Karin.

"I'm a friend of Karin's" Arvan answered quickly.

"Yes, he's my friend." The woman forced a smile.

"Oh, yes, I have. Please continue," said Arvan. "You never changed before" he smiled cynically. He also rejoined his friends.

"Your friend said husband?" The man began to interrogate.

"Oh, that. Yeah, I have a husband. But our relationship is no longer okay" Karin replied.

"Why?"

"He changed" Karin replied lying.

"He cheated?"

"Hmm.yeah," she answered nervously.

"Why didn't you leave him?"

"I can't, because there's a child."

"Just leave your son to him and live with me. I will fulfill all your wishes" said the man giving a sweet promise.

"I'll think about it later, but I feel comfortable like this" Karin said.

"But I don't. They'll accuse me of being the snatch of people's wives" he said.

Karin smiles. "No way!"

Arvan, who joined his friends to enjoy breakfast, contacted his wife on a video call.

He asked about his wife and her condition and vice versa. Not to forget, the camera aimed at his friends.

The camera also accidentally captures a woman Sabrina knows.

"Mas, are you with Karin?" tanyakanya.

Arvan immediately aimed his cell phone camera at Karin and the man sitting with her from a distance.

"Who is she with?" ask Sabrina.

"I don't know. Don't talk about him, you've had breakfast?"

"Here you go, my mom."

"Darling, I hung up. Don't forget to take vitamins and get plenty of rest" Arvan says.

"Yes, Mum."

Arvan hung up his phone call. "Huh, thank goodness. Good thing Sabrina didn't misunderstand me," he said stroking his chest.

"If that happens, you'll sleep in the guest room" one of his friends said with another friend's laugh.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

A few days later..

"Son, you play with Mbak 'yes. Mama wants to go for a while" Karin told her daughter. He handed Kara to his nanny.

"Where else are you going?" ask Michael.

The babysitter saw his employer that the man approached his wife. She takes Kara away from her parents.

"I want to hang out with my friends" replied Karin.

"You just got home last night, you're gone this morning. Can't you just give us some free time?" Michael is disappointed with Karin's attitude.

"I need some alone time, Michael. I'm saturated with daily routines at home" said Karin.

"All you say? Where this month? You're out of town!" jolt Michael.

"Excuse me, Sir, Ma!" their house assistant.

"What's wrong?" michael asked without looking.

"There was a package delivery for Ms. Karin" he said.

"Package? I did not order anything at the online shop" Karin said.

"I don't know, Mom. Here is the name of the mother with the full address," he explained.

"Yes, I've." Karin took the package from the housekeeper's hand.

"Then, excuse me!" pampered.

"Who sent you the package?" michael asked coldly.

"I don't know either" replied Karin. A message entered his phone, he hurriedly opened it. A smile rose from his lips.

"From who?" ask Michael again.

"Nothing" he answered.

"Why are you smiling?"

"This is just a message from my friend who is waiting for me" he replied.

"You're not lying?"

"You don't believe me?" asked Karin raising her voice.

"You changed Karin a few months ago" Michael replied.

"That's just your feeling" said Karin.

"Are you sure you're not hiding anything from me?"

"Michael, I'm tired of you always being suspicious of me."

"I didn't suspect anything, I just asked why you changed. That's all," he said.

"Of course, I'm leaving. My friends were waiting" Karin took her bag, she headed for her car. Not to forget he brought a small package of gifts from his lover.

Michael followed his wife's car. He wanted to make sure Karin was lying or not.

Karin's car entered a new cafe a few months ago opened, some of her female friends had also gathered. Michael stared from a distance.

"Nothing is suspicious" he murmured.

"Malls, restaurants, clothing stores belong to you, and to Mom's house" replied Sabrina.

"Didn't you meet someone?" ask Arvan again.

"meaning?"

"Yes, someone is out of your past" he said.

"Surely Sheila or perhaps the two women told Mas Arvan," inwardly.

"Darling, why silence?"

"Nothing, Mom. I didn't meet the person you meant."

"Oh, yes, I have. If there is none" said Arvan.

"Mas isn't hungry? You haven't had lunch yet" Sabrina tried to divert the next question from her husband.

"Actually I want to eat you" said Arvan.

"Later at night" he whispered.

"Did the doctor allow it?"

"Not yet" replied Sabrina.

"Later we consult again" said Arvan.

"Would you like to eat in the room or downstairs?"

"Below," he answered. "Where have you and Mom been since I came home this morning they haven't been seen?"

"They went to his friend's house at school."

"Oh, if it's Sheila?"

"He went to his parents' house, took another day off."

"So you're alone?"

"Not really, they all left just this morning before you got home."

"Oh."

"Yesterday you met Karin, but why wasn't she with Michael?"

"I don't know either, he said he was there because of work."

"Oh, so."

"Stella!" linda shouted at her daughter-in-law.

"What's wrong, Ma?"

"Judis went to M, why didn't you ban it?"

"What am I, Ma?"

"You're his wife!"

"I was his wife on paper and in bed" Stella said. "Just let him go there" he said again.

"Aren't you afraid that Judis will meet Nora?"

"No, Ma. The heart of Judis is simply Sabrina" replied Stella.

"Eat him, you get pregnant fast. Let him forget his ex-wife" Linda said.

"You think getting pregnant is as easy as shopping online" Stella grumbled.

"Stella, you should be able to take your husband's heart. If there's a child between you, he'll definitely keep you!"

"I think I just want to give up" he said.

"You, don't give up. You loved her a long time ago, didn't you?"

"Yes, Ma. The first time we met, I was already in love with her," Stella replied smilingly recalling her teenage years, the three-year-old older boy from her looked indifferent, haughty and cold. His attitude made him fall in love.

"Eh, even the smiles are not clear."

"Yes, Ma. I'll try again. I'm going to give up all my mind and energy to get my husband's heart" Stella said.

"So dong, I'm proud to have a son-in-law like you." Linda smiled.

In the middle of the chatter of in-laws and daughter-in-laws. Marissa came home from work and said hello. Linda and Stella answered her greetings.

"What are you taking?" ask Linda to stop Marissa's move.

"Fry, Ma."

"Seek Mama!" said Linda.

"Don't, Ma. It contains a lot of cholesterol, later Mama is sick," said Marissa.

"Kan, there's you taking care of me." Linda said casually.

"Related," he murmured.

"What did you say?" ask Linda.

"Nothing, Ma."

"Already, just give me any quick idea of inheritance," said Stella.

"You guys, pray for me to die!" jolt Linda.

"No, Ma. Pity our husbands will not have Mama" said Marissa softly.

"Don't say much, here's the fry!"

"Yes, Ma. I'll take the plate first" Marissa to the kitchen and move the fry into two pieces. He took the plate to the living room with both hands. "It's for Mama, it's for me," she handed a plate of fried food to her in-laws.

"For me, where?" ask Stella.

"Buy it yourself or ask Mama" Marissa poked her lips.

"Marrel!" stella.

"Belgium!" Marissa put a fried banana in her mouth.
