MARRIAGES & BENEFITS

MARRIAGES & BENEFITS
Complicated.


Alfin returned the photo to the closet. His mind continued to remember the image of the face with the black and white portrait. He seemed to have seen it or even recognized it but he forgot who and where he had met the same face.


...


The time was three o'clock in the morning and he was almost asleep when his phone rang,


Devina, the woman contacted him at an unexpected moment before.


📲"Where are you?."


"Cage."


📲"Fin, your mom's in the ICU."


Alfin was aghast, his body stiffened and his face was instantly pias.


"Where are you?."


📲"Darma Husada."


Sectional connection cut off.


Alfin left the room without locking it. The man quickly passed to shorten the time. He no longer thought about the dangers that could be facing him while on the road.

The middle-aged woman was suddenly rushed to the hospital because she had heart failure due to the panic she received suddenly.


The incident began when Alfin left their residence.


From afternoon, Timah already felt that his body was not fit because of the fatigue he experienced after traveling out of town with Mr. Hamid.


But he who is a wife feels if there is no need to exaggerate the complaints that at that time he felt and chose to behave normally while massaging the legs of the husband who later looks swollen due to gout suffered.


The highlight was when a foreign woman visited the house that night with an unexpected confession.


Rosi deliberately visited Alfin's parents' house without the man's knowledge. He had already devised a plan after failing because his allegations were not proven.


The woman claimed that she was pregnant with their grandchildren by providing evidence in the form of USG photos that showed a bag with contents inside.


Ms. Tin who was receiving Rosi's confession at that time tried to stay strong even though her mind was chaotic and her heart was getting stronger pressing against her chest.


Mr. Hamid was just as surprised, only he did not want to swallow the information raw after remembering the problems his son experienced because of the model.


"I wanted to tell him first but your son has blocked my number and made me decide to come here instead."


"Have you checked it properly?."


"of course. I'm not lying if this is indeed Alfin's son."


"But I'm sorry, I don't want to take this information for granted before there's evidence to corroborate your confession."


"I don't care if you believe it or not. What is clear is that I am waiting for Alfin to take responsibility for his actions to me. Excuse me."


Ms. Tinh had not let out her voice at all since the first time Rosi arrived. The woman with all her might held a rumble in her chest as she continued to stare at the black and white image that was on the table with an indescribable taste.


Just a few hours Alfin convinced himself about the ex-lover who would not bother him but in reality the man was wrong. Rosi was braver than she thought.


After Rosi, Timah ma'am can only squeeze his hand with Hamid sir. The old man rubbed his wife's back to give her a sense of calm.


Long enough the two sat in the guest room until Devina finally arrived after being picked up by Sule.


The young woman found two middle-aged people hugging each other for something she did not know until Devina finally saw a piece of picture of someone's ultrasound results.


"Vin, can you go with me?. I want to talk to Alfin."


Devina took off her bag to help the Tin bu stand up. While Mr. Hamid himself looks to be holding back his anger because of Alfin.


But only a few steps passed, the Tin suddenly fell and immediately unconscious at eleven past forty minutes at night.


Panic immediately hit Mr. Hamid's residence. Two of his assistants immediately helped lift the owner of the house to be immediately taken into Sule's car.


Devina quickly called Alma right away and immediately got a response from the owner of the number.


Alma who was shocked immediately cried and said if he immediately followed them to the hospital.


What about Alfin?.


Three o'clock in the morning and find out if the man catches up with him to the farm after forgetting his promise to pick him up as soon as he finishes his business with Mr. Hamid.


Devina was standing in front of the counter table with Alma who was still crying. One of the two women was taking care of administrative needs.


Then Mr Hamid himself?. The man was waiting for his unconscious wife in the ICU.


"Where's the fuck?." Ask Devina.


"Papa on top take care of mama." The answer is nonchalant.


"Fi." Alma held down Alfin's arm as he was about to run after the elevator that was being opened by someone.


"Don't!."


Alfin looked at the sad face of his younger sister who was still holding firmly to his left arm.


"Papa's not okay to look at your face."


"What's really going on?. I still don't know why it's like this."


"Rossi." Alma returned to tears.


"She's at home and I'm pregnant with your son." Devina connected the speech of her speechless sister-in-law.


Alfin's face instantly turned out. The man took off Alma's rough grip on his arm and ran out towards the parking lot.


"ALPHINE!."


"DON'T!."


Alma ran after her older brother who was in a burning state of anger.

Rosi is on her way to score a goal with the lover of one of her fellow model friends who she never liked.


The woman moaned many times among the density of their hot activities that occurred in her apartment.


"Crazy, you're crazy Ros!."


"I didn't expect you to be rich gini Gil!" he tweeted between their games.


"But how's Stevi?."


"That's business later, now we finish this one."


......


*****


Edo just got some bad news from his older cousin Kenzi that morning. The man said that Rosi had damaged the relationship between her sister and her lover who is a musician.


📲"Stevi really doesn't want to go out of the room, Do!. I'm afraid that anything will happen to that unstable child."


"Gue also can't do anything bang, the problem is that Alfin just broke up with the woman."


Edo could feel the anger that the man was going through there. He wanted to punch the face of the woman named Rosi if possible.


Edo soon contacted Alfin to ask where the man was. It was just that what he got was even worse bad news than the first one he received from Kenzi.


"Okay, okay, I'm there now. We're talking to each other."
