What are you doing?
Kagendra sent a text message to Sadiyah.
Just sleeping.
Still a headache?
Still am…
Already eaten?
Haven't…
Why not eat?
Don't wanna. No taste…
Should I order some food?
Can Aa go home first?
You want me to go home?
Could anyway?
I can, if you want.
No, it'll interfere with Aa's work. Aa is busy?
Kagendra sent him a photo of a pile of files hanging above his desk.
Has she eaten?
Kagendra sent a selfie of himself eating.
Aa handsome if you eat again….
Kagendra sent again his swaphoto
A narcissistic yes
Where's your photo?
No ah, shame.
I have a wife who rarely takes a shower.
Just yummy. I haven't had a shower because I'm still sick.
Warm water bath. Wash her face to be beautiful.
It was wudhu. If often ablution it even though not wearing make up must look beautiful. Beautiful from the inside.
Whereabouts? Picture no. Hoaxes.
Sadiyah sent her swaphoto with a tongue that was loose and still using her mukena.
Ugly…
Sadiyah sent me a picture of her smiling.
Beautiful right?
It's pretty like a monkey with powder.
Sebel….Aa ugly…
Kagendra sent him a picture of himself standing in front of a famous landmark.
This kind of time is called ugly…
Aa first said Iyah je-lek. Though the beauty of Iyah is immeasurable.
Sadiyah sent her stylish photo on her family's vast estate.
Yes beautiful…
Kengendra smiled looking at the photo of Sadiyah that filled his phone screen.
“Honey, why didn't you reply to my message?” suddenly Natasha was in front of Kagendra while on her waist.
Kagendra who was surprised immediately closed the chat application on his phone. But Natasha still had time to see what was done by Kagendra who exchanged messages and selfies with Sadiyah.
“Sorry, I'm busy with my work.”
Natasha knew that Kagendra was lying to her.
“Busy what?”
“Just look at the pile of files on my desk.” Kagendra pointed to the pile of files that were mounted on his desk.
“I want to pray first at the mushola office. You just wait here. If you are thirsty, you can ask your OB or just grab a cold drink in the refrigerator. I go to prayer first.” Kagendra passed out of his room towards the mushola of the office.
Kagendra left her phone on her desk. Once it feels safe, Natasha immediately tries to open Kagendra's phone.
Lucky for Natasha because Kagendra's phone is not locked. He immediately searched Sadiyah's contact number from Kagendra's phone and wrote it down on a piece of paper.
Intrigued by the content of the conversation between Kagendra and Sadiyah, Natasha opened and read the messages between Kagendra and Sadiyah. Natasha's anger and emotions culminated when reading the contents of Sadiyah and Kagendra's conversation coupled with mutual reply to send photos between them.
“Basic female sial*n. Destroyer of people relationships, basic actor.” umpat Natasha.
Then Natasha opened a photo gallery in Kagendra's phone. It has a folder called My Lovely Wife. Curious about the contents of the folder, Natasha clicked on the folder and saw hundreds of Sadiyah photos candidly taken by Kagendra.
“Women's basis******do not know yourself. What a good girl it is. It's just a village like that. I won't let you snatch mine. Kagendra is mine and will forever be mine. No one can take it. Not you and no one else.”
Natasha wanted to delete the photos of Sadiyah that filled Kagendra's phone, but she could still hold back. He did not want to act rashly which resulted in Kagendra leaving him. He doesn't want that to happen.
“I have to act immediately. I can't just wait for Kagendra to divorce his wife. Could-can he won't divorce his wife if I don't act immediately to secure mine.” Natasha's determination is strong.
While waiting for Kagendra to finish praying, Natasha sat on the sofa in Kagendra's room. He sent a text message to Sadiyah.
I want to meet you. You must know who I am. Tomorrow I'll wait at 12pm at Cafe X.
Sorry, who are you? I don't know you.
Sadiyah read a message from an unknown number telling her to meet the sender of the text message.
“Basic of man there is no morality. He should have introduced himself first instead of directly playing orders. Who is he dare to tell Iyah to come to Cafe X” Sadiyah nagging after reading the contents of the message sent by an unknown number.
I am the woman your husband loves. And you must know that the heart and body of your husband is wholly mine.
Natasha got increasingly furious getting a reply to a message from Sadiyah who seemed to not appreciate it. Though Sadiyah's attitude can be said to be right to face women like Natasha.
You Natasha?
Sadiyah sent a message confirming whether it was true that she was sending a text to him was Kagendra's first lover and love.
Who else does Kagendra love besides me?
Sadiyah did not reply to text messages from Natasha.
“The woman that Aa should love is Iyah. Iyah is her halal partner who has been bound by the contract pledged by Aa. It should only be Iyah, the woman that Aa loved, not that woman or any other woman. Uh, actually the woman that Aa was supposed to love the most was Mom. New after Mom, I.” Sadiyah spoke for herself.
Getting an uncomfortable message from Natasha made Sadiyah's stomach return nausea. He took out all the food he had so painstakingly entered his mouth.
After removing all the food in his stomach, then Sadiyah felt a little good. He went to the kitchen and made a squeeze orange so that his stomach did not feel nauseous anymore.
Sadiyah became reminded of the woman who joined hands with Kagendra in the hospital.
“Don't the woman who joined hands with Aa at the hospital at that time Natasha. Is Natasha pregnant with Aa's child?. Aa will divorce Iyah because Natasha is already pregnant while Iyah until now has not been pregnant. It's a pity that her son Aa can't be recognized by her own father. Should I step back. A Endra also did not love Iyah. But Iyah loved Aki, Abah and Mother. What if they knew Aa would have a child from another woman. Or maybe Aa has married Siri with Natasha because Iyah is sure that Aa will not do that if they are not married. Duh, Iyah so dizzy when you think about it.”
Sadiyah felt a very bad headache. He wanted to take headache medicine but found no aspirin or other headache medicine at home.
“Better Iyah sleep only again.” Sadiyah lay on top of the bed and tried to close her eyes but her mind continued to be filled with all sorts of prejudices.
