Hold On Or Let Go
29. If It's Not Comfortable, Why Survive?
Now Seruni and Mahmudi were in the car, which was traveling at medium speed to go home.
"Pa, can we find a place to talk. There are things that we must talk about," Pinta Seruni, while looking at the husband who was focusing on looking towards the highway.
Deg,, Mahmudi's heart immediately skipped a beat, his memory immediately turned to two friends Seruni, namely Doni and Tiwi. "Did they say it to Mom?" Mahmudi muttered inwardly, and the face of the man with three sons instantly became pias.
"Why should you find a place for everything? We'll talk at home, okay?" Refuse Mahmudi subtly, "This is late afternoon ma, pity the children. surely they have been waiting for you since then," continued Mahmudi with the name of the children, carrying the name, so that Seruni would listen to his words.
Seruni shook her head, "I'll call Juju, so you don't go home until we get back later" she replied, and without waiting for her husband's approval.. Seruni then dialed the number of her domestic assistant.
Tut, tut,,,,, tut,,,
On the second call, Seruni's phone was picked up by Juju. "Halo bu Runi," Juju's voice greeted loudly, as Seruni loaded the speaker's call.
"Sir, is Tsalis fussy?" Seruni asked, who was a little worried about her third son. For he seldom left Tsalis from morning till evening like this. Moreover, now she plans to solve her problems with her husband, which can not be predicted time, until what time they will return home.
"So the time to wake up during the nap was fussy mom, but now her child is playing the same mas-mas," Juju replied if there was her.
"Oh, thank God" said Seruni with relief, Tsalis was not used to the new assistant. Because usually, if Seruni out until the afternoon, the employee who was in the store was the one who picked up Tsalis from school and took care of the little boy until Seruni came home.
"Sir, I'd like to ask for help. Juju ma'am don't go home first, until later we come back... can you?" Seruni continued, pleading.
"Yes, I can't ma'am." Reply Juju.
"Good mom, thank you very much. Titip children," said Seruni gratefully, and then closed his call.
Seruni looked at the husband, "the children are done pa," said Seruni.
While Mahmudi was silent, his esophagus felt dry.
"Pa, can we talk? How come you just shut up?" Surveillance Seruni, still looking at her husband.
Mahmudi nodded quickly, "yes ma, can." Reply with a voice stuck in the throat.
"Ma, want to talk dim.. Where's ma?" Ask Mahmudi groggy.
"At papa's place for lunch, will you?" Seruni stared intently at her husband.
Deg,, Mahmudi's heart is beating faster, and his throat is getting choked. "Where do you know that I ate at the restaurant this afternoon? Or maybe, Doni spied on me? Because yesterday she saw me walk with Dance?" Mahmudi monologues silently, with mixed feelings.
"Pa, can we eat there?!" Tanya Seruni, with emphasis.
"Where to eat ma? Last afternoon, papa ate at ma's office cafeteria?" Elak Mahmudi, by trying to act swimming.
"What do you want?" Mahmudi asked, looking at the wife who was still pointing in front.
"There's something I want to show you as papa," Seruni replied calmly.
Mahmudi is getting more agitated, "this is more ma? Do you know anything about my relationship with Dance?" Bisik Mahmudi in heart.
With a heavy heart, Mahmudi also pulled his car over in a place that is wide enough so as not to disturb other road users, right under the shade tree, so that the road is not easy, in front of a car showroom that has closed because it is already late afternoon.
Mahmudi fell silent with a sense of uncertainty, waiting anxiously for what the wife would show him.
"Pa, since when did you get into a relationship with your assistant and secretary?" Seruni asked softly, but in Mahmudi's ear it sounded like a thunderous thunder.
As Mahmudi stared at his wife, "where did you know in detail who she was? If you knew my relationship with another woman from Doni or Tiwi, it would be impossible.. They knew that the woman I was with yesterday was my assistant?" Mahmudi muttered in his heart, he who had suspected that it was Seruni's friend who had leaked his secrets to his wife, now confused himself.
"Why shut up, pa?! Since when, papa is cheating with Dance?!" Seruni's voice began to rise, and her speech was blunt by saying that her husband was cheating on her
"What is this mama talking about?" Mahmudi asked pretending to be stupid.
Seruni closed her eyes for a moment, regulating her breathing which began to hunt because of the emotion brought earlier. The woman who was pregnant was then opened her phone, clicked the gallery with a folder 'workbook' where Seruni kept a screenshot evidence of her husband and Tari.
Seruni then thrust her mobile phone at Mahmudi, "papa see and re-read all," said Seruni, without looking at her husband. Seruni then turned to the outside of the glass window on her left side, and the woman did not know that the husband had received a cell phone from her with trembling hands.
Mahmudi who received the wife's phone with a feeling of fear, worry and confusion became one, making his hands tremble. And Mahmudi hurriedly clicked each screenshot image, and read it one by one.
Mahmudi stared at the nilar of his wife's phone, suddenly his world seemed to collapse. His head feels heavy, his body weak powerless. Without the man noticing, a clear grain fell from his net corner. "I'm sorry ma, I've hurt you," she said faintly in Seruni's ears, but Mahmudi's wife fluttered with a sharp glare out the glass window.
"Where did you get this evidence? The feeling every time I finished chatting, I always deleted all of it?" Mahmudi muttered in his heart.
Seruni was still speechless, as well as Mahmudi who did not dare to make a sound. For a while, the atmosphere in the car was quiet.
"Why did you do this to your mom?" Seruni asked softly breaking the silence, without looking at the husband. As much as possible, Seruni held back from crying, because she had learned of her husband's affair, from a month ago.
But being next to the main culprit, made the pregnant woman's tears still shed as well. Heartache, disappointment, and anger are now one. "Mama's not sad, son, mama's just disappointed and angry. Mama is also very embarrassed, because mama feels she has failed to be a good wife," said Seruni as she gently stroked her abdomen, which suddenly gave a small kick.
Mahmudi immediately hugged his wife, "don't ma, mama's good wife. I was wrong, ma, I was wrong. I'm sorry, " Mahmudi said with a trembling voice as he held tightness in his chest.
Seruni pushed her husband's body away, and then rubbed the rough of her tears. "If you're uncomfortable with me, why do you still survive?" Seruni's gaze was sharp, penetrating into Mahmudi's heart. Make the man's heart, momentarily stop beating. And Mahmudi's gaze was glued to the face of the wife, who now seemed unrecognizable.
Seruni's face looked fierce, and her gaze was extremely cruel. Making Mahmudi shudder in horror,,,
