Lying Above Love
A Chat That Makes You Sick

The man who spent the night with Belinda is none other than Hanggara who is his own sister-in-law, Belinda's relationship with Hanggara has been established for 3 years. Hanggara initially confessed

at Belinda that she has a taste in the woman and initially Belinda did not respond too much but the peak when Belinda caught her husband playing fire more than one woman made her angry and disappointed until Belinda decided to making Hanggara as his impingement. Time passed until finally Belinda felt she was indeed in love with a man whose age was far below her until now they had often spent time together secretly behind Sutikno and his family.

“Late this week you already know that there will be a family meeting?” hanggara asked Belinda after they let go of the desire in bed and now Belinda is in a position to be embraced by the man with those who do not wear a single piece of clothing covered by a blanket.

“No, Sutikno said absolutely nothing to me,” replied Belinda.

“Actually my brother wants to have a family meeting to rally support so that he can run in the gubernatorial election in two years, what do you think about it?”

“I don't care about it all, you know for yourself right if I don't like politics?”

Hanggara seemed to smile and then he kissed Belinda again but then the look on the man's face became sad and Belinda wondered what really made this man become

wistful.

“To be honest Belinda, my mama would love me to get married quickly because I'm 30 years old.”

“Really? Who did that woman match you with?” ask Belinda in curiosity.

Hanggara then told the woman he later had to marry even though Hanggara had rejected him but the mother still insisted that Hanggara would marry the woman of his choice.

“I just love you and if I have to get married then I want to marry you.”

Belinda seemed blushed to hear the man's words, Belinda did not want to cope with Hanggara's speech and preferred to sleep in the man's warm embrace.

When morning came to see Sutikno was ready to go to his office while until this morning Belinda had not returned home but Sutikno did not want to try to contact his wife,

Chelsea who wondered to her father why the mother had not come home was instead scolded by Sutikno.

“Your mother is a busy person, she must be overtime in the office, besides you will already have an aunt who takes care of you.”

Chelsea seemed annoyed by the ketus answer delivered by his father just now until finally Sutikno said in the afternoon Chelsea should not go home late because there will be journalists who come to this house to do interviews with his family.

“Remember it well,” said Sutikno who then left Chelsea who were still at the dinner table.

Chlesea was grumbling with the actions of his father just now, Chelsea then decided to immediately go to school because it was almost too late for him to go there. When on the way to school there was a message from Angkasa that invited him to meet later in the afternoon but Chelsea was worried whether he had to follow the wishes of Angkasa or not.

“But if I refuse it, when can I meet him again and spend time with him?” lirih Chelsea looked at her phone.

“Bu, earlier father called me and asked you to go home soon.”

Belinda glanced at the watch in her hand and indeed it was already late at night and her husband must have been waiting for her since, Belinda asked her personal assistant to leave her office and the personal assistant left Belinda.

“That guy is really.”

Belinda decided to pack all her things and go from her office back home, when she came home to see Sutikno and a number of crew from the television media who had an appointment with her

Sutikno to conduct the interview had been waiting for him. In front of the media crew, Sutikno and Belinda seemed friendly to cover up what really happened between them.

****

The questions asked by the journalists were only about the politics that Sutikno was running and how this man served the people of the city who had chosen him. Sutikno, of course, is happy to explain what he has done for this city while Belinda herself tries to put on a friendly face and full of smiles every time the camera shines at him, to be honest, Belinda is very tired at this time and wants to sleep, several times she gave a code to her husband to end this interview because he was very tired. Belinda's prayers finally materialized as the interview was over as well and the television station crew conducting the interview were gone.

“You already know where Chelsea is?” sutikno asked his man who he had ordered to find where his son was.

“Already Sir, we are taking him home.”

“Good.”

Belinda did not want to interfere too much about her son's problems, he was very tired to talk to other people and decided to rest immediately but in contrast to Sutikno who waited until his daughter returned home and when Chelsea returned home it appeared Sutikno was not he could hide his anger at Chelsea.

“Didn't Papa say don't go anywhere after school?! Why don't you listen too?!”

The weekend arrived, Sutikno took his wife and son to go to the house of his late father who is now inhabited by a serial mama and also his half-sister, of course, Hanggara and his mother. The relationship between Sutikno and mama continued and Hanggara can be said to be not good, Sutikno had refused when his late father wanted to remarry this woman but eventually Sutikno had no other choice and allowed his father to remarry until he had a son Hanggara. Sutikno gathered all of his extended family members gathered here to lend support to him as gubernatorial candidate in the upcoming election. Belinda had absolutely no interest in this full-on political chat until she chose to

move to the back of the quieter house and at that time Hanggara followed.

“Why are you here?”

“You know that I hate talking about politics.”

Hanggara seemed to smile and then he sat down next to Belinda, they were very close and when Hanggara and Belinda got very close his face was something unwanted.

“What are you two doing together here?”
