Look at me, my man!
Misstep

Tommy hugged Mayra tightly. He was almost crazy because he had not found Mayra anywhere. A sigh of relief could be seen from Tommy's handsome face, imagining Mayra sulking and going away with a long time made Tommy really feel a sense of great anxiety.

When Tommy hugged her, Mayra immediately returned the husband's embrace. Guilt immediately caught up with him. He who was once a prestige apologized, decided to apologize first because he had embarrassed Tommy. She hit Tommy in a restaurant and also doused her husband's face with water. That must be embarrassing for Tommy.

Ten minutes later.

Tommy let go of his embrace. The man immediately cupped Mayra's cheek. "I can explain everything, honey. Nothing happened. He's my cousin's sister." Tommy immediately explained everything until Mayra nodded.

"Do you believe me?" ask Tommy.

Mayra nodded her head again and then lowered her head. "I'm sorry. I should have asked first," Mayra said again. Tommy breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately took Mayra into his arms.

"Don't leave like that, I panicked for you. Know it? I'm afraid you're gone" said Tommy.

Mayra hugged Tommy so tightly this time.

***

Mayra sat on the bed. From there, he kept looking towards the bathroom, where Tommy was still there. The man refreshed himself again because he was sultry, and from earlier he went into the room, Mayra was so nervous.

Although the misunderstanding was over, Mayra still felt guilty and now she was determined to apologize. Then when he was about to apologize, he felt a tremendous sense of shame.

Ten minutes later.

The bathroom door opened, Tommy's figure emerged out of the bathroom. Tommy smiled as he looked at the lowered Mayra. The man immediately threw his towel in any direction, then after that he walked towards the bed and went up there and after that he sat down next to Mayra.

"You why?" ask Tommy. He embraces Mayra's shoulder, but before long Mayra straightens up.

"Why are you? Why are you like this?" mayra asked who suddenly spoke in a slightly toned tone to Tommy's surprise.

"Did I make a mistake?" ask Tommy again.

Suddenly, Mayra beat Tommy in the chest. "You should be mad at me, you should have kept me quiet because I've done something wrong, then why are you still being nice?" ask Mayra again. Apparently, he was too proud to apologize until he spoke like that, and of course Tommy laughed. His wife is truly unique.

"Why should I be angry? I know you'll misunderstand too. If I were in your position, I would have misunderstood you. It's okay, I get it. That's a sign you love me so much. Right so?" ask Tommy again.

Immediately, Mayra again hugged Tommy's waist making Tommy laugh. "You want to apologize but prestige?" guess Tommy until Mayra nods.

"I forgive you, you may be angry but do not leave the house. You understand I'd go crazy if I lost you like I did" Tommy said.

"You were looking for me?" ask Mayra. He asked the obvious answer he himself knew, where Tommy was looking for him.

"I'm looking for you, I think I'm almost crazy" Tommy said.

***

How many years later.

Salsa came out of her room. The teenage girl, who is now eighteen years old, went straight downstairs to eat breakfast, because she was going to college.

"Morning Mom, Dad," Salsa said to both her father and mother.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to my friend's birthday party. Can I come home late tonight?" salsa asked as she had already settled herself on the sofa.

Tommy seemed to think, he immediately kept the spoon he was holding and then looked at Salsa. "Where is your friend's birthday party celebrated? Then, is anyone there?" ask Tommy.

As usual, Tommy begins to be protective of Salsa. It's been eighteen years that Tommy has been married to Mayra, and for eighteen years that they've really never argued or argued about anything, only after Salsa grew up, Tommy was more protective of his first daughter than Darren. Of course because Darren is a man, even though Darren is younger than Salsa, he doesn't worry about anything.

However, unlike Salsa who began to grow up. He always warned his son not to be free in association, and for eighteen years, Salsa also still did not know at all that Tommy was not his father.

"But remember you can't be home more than 11 p.m. You got it, Salsa?" tommy asked until Salsa nodded, while Mayra did not hold their conversation. He focused on his breakfast, as did Darren.

"Darren," call Tommy.

"Yes, Dad?" sahut Darren's.

"Remember to stop messing around at your school, just be careful if you bully other people again," Tommy said because Darren was so ignorant at his school.

Several times Darren was hit by a reprimand for bullying a woman so Tommy had to intervene, even several times Tommy held Darren's facility because Darren had not changed. And yesterday, Tommy was called back by the school because Darren had once again bullied a woman who had just transferred schools.

This time, Tommy threatens to move Darren out of the country if Darren doesn't change and continues to be in a tacit position. However, it seems that Tommy's threat has no effect on Darren, due to the fact that the man is not afraid at all, maybe he will apologize again if caught.

Finally, the breakfast was over. Salsa had left the dinner table and left with her driver, while Darren went to school on a big motorbike.

"Darling you're still not feeling well?" tommy asked as they walked out, and as usual Mayra escorted Tommy out.

"Still, Dad," replied Mayra.

Tommy stopped his steps. "Yes, I'm not going to work in the office. I'll just accompany you," Tommy said again. However, Mayra shook her head.

"No need. Don't go home too late in the afternoon" Mayra replied until Tommy nodded.

"Yes, I'm going first." Tommy kisses Mayra all over the face, a habit he never forgot. Then after that, he walked towards his car and when the car was about to walk, Tommy immediately waved his hand at his wife, and after that Mayra went inside.

***

"Dina, aren't we going to have a birthday party at your house? Then why are we going to the bar?" ask Salsa. She immediately protests to her friend because they agreed to celebrate Dina's birthday party at home. But now he was taken to a bar.

"Salsa, you're so stupid," said Dina, "let's just go in there, we'll just party with the women in different rooms."

"really?" salsa asked innocently.

"really. Come on," take Dina again.

Salsa hesitated to enter. She was afraid that her father was angry with her, but Dina said there was nothing wrong because they would rent a room just for the women, Salsa thought.

Salsa immediately followed Dina's steps to enter. Some of Salsa's friends were already in the middle, mingling with the guests. Salsa was confused himself, because Dina said that she would rent a room only for women, but now everyone was mingling with other guests who were dancing in front while listening to music.

Salsa was confused on her own. He was like a dazed person, moreover he had never gone to a place like this. Just as he was about to turn around and decide to leave, suddenly Salsa's hand was pulled by someone.

"Bastian," call Salsa.

When his hand was pulled by Bastian, Salsa had already first pulled his hand from Bastian's, but Bastian clasped his hand so tightly, until Salsa could not fight and when it was in a quiet place, Bastian immediately let go of his hand because Salsa continued to thrash.

"I want to go home, not follow you!" salsa shouted at Bastian. He shouted very loudly for not accepting his hand being touched by Bastian.

"Oh come on Salsa, we're having fun. We are adults, so now is the time to enjoy the night world" Bastian said again because he knew Salsa had never set foot in a place like this, until he was challenged to invite Salsa.

"Close your mouth! I want to go home" Salsa said again. As he was about to turn around, Bastian again pulled the woman's hand and dragged Salsa's body.

However, Bastian has not turned, suddenly one kick landed on Bastian's body until Salsa closed his mouth, then saw who kicked Bastian's body.

Salsa's eyes rounded to see who was next to her, who was the one who kicked Bastian's body, and it turned out to be Tommy. Salsa's heart was pounding twice as fast when it saw Tommy. He saw his father's face flushed red, and for the first time he saw Tommy like this. It seems, Tommy is angry with Salsa because Salsa lied to him, saying he was going to a party at his friend's house but instead came to the bar.

"Da-Dad," call Salsa in stature.

Tommy, who was looking at Bastian, immediately turned his gaze towards Salsa.

"You dare lie to Daddy?" tommy asked in a cold tone, making Salsa even more frightened.

"Daddy, it's not like Da—" Salsa stopped her speech when Tommy pulled her arm, and dragged her to get out of the bar.

"Daddy's sick!" salsa shouted as Tommy clutched his hand tightly, until the girl was in pain. However, Tommy seemed to have lost his mind. He continued dragging Salsa's body. Tommy did not like being lied to, especially he had given full confidence in Salsa, but Salsa lied to him instead.

Tommy's men report that Salsa went to the bar until Tommy caught up with his daughter, and when he saw Salsa being pulled by a man, tommy's emotions immediately peaked until he kicked Bastian's body and pulled Salsa's hand hard.

Salsa shouted loudly when he was outside the bar, until Tommy immediately released Salsa's hand violently until Salsa's hand hit the car, making Salsa immediately flick her hand because of pain. He also screams in pain, but the emotional Tommy doesn't understand what Salsa is doing at all, but he's usually the one who's most worried about something happening with his daughter.

"How dare you lie to Daddy?!" shouted Tommy.

Salsa, who was already in pain, immediately took a step back because she was so shocked by the father's cry. For the first time in her life, she saw Tommy like this and of course she was shocked.

"Da-Daddy," call Salsa in stature.

"Come in! We're talking at home!" tell Tommy, the man immediately opened the car door until Salsa went straight in, as well as Tommy.

During the trip, Salsa one continues to stroke his hand that feels pain. The clash in Salsa's hand just now was really hard, until Salsa's hand was completely reddened, even the bracelet that Salsa was wearing was almost broken due to the hardness of the blow on her hand.

After a long journey, finally the car driven by Tommy reached home. Tommy gets out of the car, then slams the door making Salsa more frightened and after that the door opens, it turns out Tommy who opened the door.

"Down" said Tommy. Then with a shuddering body, Salsa came down and followed the steps of the father. When entering, it turns out that Mayra is below until Salsa immediately runs towards Mayra because she feels scared.

"What's this?" mayra asked as Salsa hugged her and cried in her arms. He was also confused as to why Tommy's face was flushed.

"Dad, what's wrong?" ask Mayra.

"Ask him" said Tommy.

Mayra was also strange, for the first time she saw Tommy like this, even looking at Salsa with anger. For a mother, of course Mayra can not accept it, especially Salsa is not the son of Tommy.

"Salsa, what's wrong?" mayra asked who chose to ask Salsa directly. But instead of answering, Salsa hugged Mayra even tighter.

"Dad, what's the matter?" ask Mayra again.

"You know he lied to all of us? She said she was gonna throw a party at her friend's house this morning, but you know what, honey? He went to the bar instead" Tommy said.

Mayra's eyes were rounded when she heard Tommy's words. He looked directly at Salsa, then let go of her embrace.

"Salsa, what did Daddy really say?" mayra asked, "Salsa, what's your hand?"

Not yet Salsa replied, Mayra was immediately shocked when she saw Salsa's reddened hands.

"Honestly, what did Daddy say was right?" ask Mayra again.

"Mo-Mommy," replied Salsa stammeringly. Looks like Salsa was really hit with Tommy's attitude. Supposedly, Tommy asked her first, instead of yelling at her and injuring her hand.

"Have you walked into Mommy's room to talk to Daddy?"Mayra did not want to make Salsa more frightened, while Tommy immediately rubbed a rough face when he wanted to talk and advise Salsa first.

"Let him here. I'm har—"

"Shut your mouth!" mayra's snapping made Tommy look at his wife with a surprised look.

"Don't be afraid Salsa isn't your son, you can treat him arbitrarily." Mayra was also emotionally enticed.

"Darling," call Tommy.

"Have you asked what happened?" mayra asked again as Tommy fell silent, "You always thought she was your daughter, you know how she is. Has he lied to you before?"

Tommy's body was still sculpting. "Honey," called Tommy again, as soon as the man's body was silent, because he was too emotional and even snapped at Salsa when he should have asked first.

Mayra wiped her tears, then she turned around and then she walked towards Salsa's room, leaving Tommy pensive with what had happened.

Mayra went into Salsa's room, and Salsa was crying.

"Salsa," call Mayra.

"Tell Mommy, what happened? Mommy knows you can't lie" Mayra said as she sat next to Salsa.

Salsa told him everything, that his friend lied about saying he was going to a party at home but instead took him to a bar, and Salsa said that she was going home but her hand was pulled by a man, until her hand swelled up.

Immediately, Mayra hugged Salsa, calming her daughter down. It's probably trivial. For some people it may be understandable why Tommy like this, but believe me for Mayra this is not easy.

An hour later, Mayra pulled out a blanket, covered Salsa's sleeping body and then got up from her seat, walked out of the room and it turned out that when she came out, Tommy was waiting for her. Apparently, Tommy overheard their conversation.

"Darling," called Tommy, he looked at Mayra with a look of guilt.

Mayra. He also knew he could not be selfish. Tommy had loved him and Salsa for a dozen years, and he couldn't possibly corner Tommy even if he had been angry.

"Salsa is asleep, talk to her tomorrow" Mayra said. He smiles at Tommy, but Tommy knows that smile is a disappointed smile.

"Darling!"

“ I'm sleepy," said Mayra who didn't want to argue with Tommy making Tommy wipe a rough face. He immediately followed Mayra's steps, maybe tomorrow Tommy will apologize to his daughter.
