"Where's Bening, Mbok?"
"Non Bening ran to the park, Den."
Without asking any more questions, I ran to find my wife. Mbok Narti was right, the woman who became my wife was in the park. In the gazebo he was bowed by drowning his face in the folds of the hands he placed on his knees.
I walked slowly when I was near him. Slowly my footsteps felt heavy. The frail body trembled, sounding so heart-wrenching sobs.
Why are my eyes heating up? Why does my heart ache when I hear her sobs?
I came closer and put him in my arms. His body tiptoed later, he was shocked as well as feeling disgusted when he knew who was hugging him. Without feeling bad, he put away my arms that were encircling his body. Her cheeks were flushed from Erina's slap, wet with tears.
Oh, honey.maafin...
"Mas Aslam came here?" she asked me softly and wouldn't look at me. He wiped away the tears that kept flowing down his face. Really, my heart has no power to see it that way.
A violent gasp sounded when long enough I waited for him to calm down. I sat next to her in this gazebo, letting my wife satisfy her cries.
"Yank, do you know where we are now?"
Silent...
Yeah, I understand if Bening hasn't talked to me.
"Of course." With great difficulty, he finally wanted to talk to me. "I'll never forget" his voice choked. Please, Yank, don't cry!
"Mas, if here early we are united with the sacred promise that Mas uttered, then in this place too, we should part!" he stares at me with a pus. "No need to wait nine months, I am currently returning Mas Aslam to Erina!"
My heart rumbled when I heard what he said. My heart was in a violent opposition to his decision.
Pissed off? Getting angry? Sure oes.
How could my wife say such a farewell?
With a heated face holding back my rage, I stared at his face fixedly. That sad look, her lips that were the center of my attention at this moment. I don't want to hear what Bening said, I'm approaching him. My hands are cupping both cheeks.
"You really mean it?" I put my face close to his, put our noses together. Bening thrashed, but the grip of my hand on her cheek held her back even more.
"See me! Don't avoid me anymore!"
"Mas_" her face almost looked down but I held her back. He tried to take my hand off his cheek.
However, of course my strength is stronger than his strength. My palms were shaking and could not help myself anymore, I buried my lips in the softness of her lips. Filled with a heart full of anger and rage. In my heart, if my wife talks about separation or divorce, then one punishment she must accept for daring to say the sentence.
"M-mas!" distancing my body. Our breath is puffed. I don't care if anyone passes through this park. After all, we are legal husband and wife. Immediately, I lifted up my wife's body and brought her upstairs to our room. Even so, he struggled to get down.

"Mas, don't do that again!" Bening thrashed when his body was under the confinement of my body.
"Why? Is it not sinful to refuse a husband?" kissed her cheek that was flushed from Erina's slap, then went down to kiss her neck and chest. I care about my hearing.
"Mas, Ms. Erina..."
"Sst.." put his index finger in front of his lips, not liking him to call another woman when intimacy was created between us.
"Mas but you smell Sister Erina!" her spray then with one of her hands that distanced me, made me fixate.
Shit, I didn't have time to clean myself up when Erina's traces were still attached to my body!
"Then from that, remove Erina's scent from my body!" I yelled at her, didn't like her to call Erina on the sidelines of our romance.
Make love? Yeah, I want to fuck my wife again. Smelling her, smelling her to satisfaction and then drowning my body in the warmth of her body was the way I removed Erina's trace on my body.
My wife's scent is opium to me. I want it, I want it so much! Oh, wife...
Bening was silent when I snapped at him for not liking to talk about Erina. There was fear and sadness in his eyes.
"Please.do not mention the name of others in our love. It's just you and Mas." swiped my lips on his lips. Then kiss her cheek which is still red. "Please.remove Erina's scent from Mas's body. Just you! Only you can make Mas float high." I whispered in his ear. "Maybe, now you're angry and hateful, but I don't care. You just shut up and accept it. Because it will make you as happy as ever..."
I kissed her neck savagely. Not to forget the small bites on his neck and shoulders made an additional sign that he was mine, because I had already left many traces of me there. My guerrilla hands everywhere finally made my irritated wife, kneeling under my body.
The afternoon before Maghrib was only decorated with the sounds of sighs and screams of pleasure that we did.
Me, really love her. Loving her...
***
"You know that, Yank. Add that too." I pointed to whatever food I wanted to eat. "Capaine, Hank. Aaaa.." opens the mouth to be fed.
Reluctantly Bening bribed me. He doesn't talk much. Maybe it was just me with a radiant face. After clearing ourselves of our previous romance, we performed the congregational maghrib prayer. And now I feel very hungry. We ate together in the room after having Mbok Narti warm up the food Bening had brought before. This time two portions.
Bening eat so greedily, he even added his portion of food. Maybe because I drained my energy too much.
"Again, Yank." I spoiledly asked again. I'm glad to be noticed like this.
My hair is still half wet and disheveled, my body feels fresh. And now eat with pleasure accompanied by the wife. So, which favor do YOU deny this? I'm so grateful...
"Mas, I'm serious with my words," Bening's remark removed the twinkle of a smile on my face. I stared at him fixedly without bothering to look at me. "We have to separate."
I stopped her hand from scooping her food. Instantly I kissed her lips and pushed her body on the sofa.
"Mas!" he pushed me with all his might, then grimaced in pain, forgetting that his hand was injured.
"Why?" my panic.
"Why are you attacking me again?" he was holding his sick hand.
"Mas will attack you if those words come out of your mouth!"
"But, Mas_"
"STOP! Stop refuting Mas's words again." growled softly then exhaled violently trying to dampen emotions and then kissed his lips. Yeah, just that way I won't be too upset. "Suapin mas again," my orders do not want to be denied.
"Eat yourself! My hand hurts!" Bening moved from the sofa, stroking his hand wrapped in a new bandage because of how many times he had to bathe because of my actions.
Apart from that, he started to rebel again apparently. Does he really want to make love to me again? Ayok, mas jabanin because mas also likes and wants it again.
"Oh well, apparently someone is having fun here" said someone in the doorway. Erina was already straddling there.
Bening was about to avoid us, but my hand held him back so that he would remain here.
"Why did you come here?" I was being cynical towards Erina. This morning I was watching him in the hospital.
"Why? Can't I see my boyfriend?" it's been moving towards me. Erina purposefully made a sensual gesture that made Bening exhale violently many times.
"Please finish your business. I'm going out!" Bening took off my grip and left without looking back.
"Yank_"'s"
"Honey, please!" Erina held my face to keep looking at her. "Let him go,"
The Clear step stopped when in the doorway. Then he turned around while straddling.
"Mas," she called to make me look. "I'm serious about what I said!"
My eyes glared at him, not liking him to discuss the divorce between us. The expression on his face challenged me, he returned my gaze sharply.
"Yes, I told you to wait another nine or ten months, but don't wait long, the sooner the better. And you can reunite without the distraction of a third person like me."
My heart trembled, I was so afraid that my marriage would be a corn. Why does the fate of my love not feel as lucky as others?
If I could have stayed because Erina refused my proposal and left me, it would have been different if I had been left behind by my wife. In the past I was strongly opposed to what my mother decided when she took care of my love for Erina one had to be extinct because she had to marry Bening.
The sacred words that I spoke with the name of God in them made me attached to them. We both went through days together, the same atmosphere, the same room, the same bed, the same blanket and the unification of bodies that only our names have in them.
I feel like I'm used to his presence. Her smile was soothing, her laughter that kept me entertained. I'm used to his silly behavior. The warm touch, every treatment that takes care of my needs, how could I possibly lose all that?
I'm going crazy, I really wouldn't be able to break up with him.
"Good, that's the right decision." Erina. "You must get out of Aslam's life and let us be happy. Your place is not on Aslam's side. You are just a nafssu gratifying tool while the lucky one gets the title as a legitimate wife only. Because at any time, Aslam will still love me!"
"Enough, Rin!"
"Why, Honey? Isn't it true what I said? How could it be that in just these few months you love a little girl like her? There's me! There I will make you happy if your wife wants to divorce you!"
My hands are clenched, I'm so in a dilemma. Yes, it may be true, if I get divorced with Bening, there's still Erina I can count on. My two-year relationship with him did not deny that we could have a good relationship.
"So, Honey.just look at me and don't waver!" erina's handcuffs down my jaw, teasing me gently. I closed my eyes, feeling a different touch.
"Hey, the witch is fighting red! I will indeed give up Mas Aslam so that he can be happy with you!" the clear exclamation made us focus on him.
"What did you just say? Ne-neak magic?" Erina wavered, not believing what she heard just now. So did I who bought it when Bening called Erina like that.
"Yes, the witch is fighting red!" Bening reiterated what he mentioned to Erina. I held back the laughter that wanted to explode.
"So your attitude, Ma'am. Because I'm still Mas Aslam's legal wife!" looking at me sharply then.
Clear turn around then BLAMM!! He slammed the door hard.
"Yank!" I was about to chase after Bening, but Erina held me back. He even thrust to kiss me.
"STOP RIN! STOP UP!" I stayed away, not wanting to be touched by him. "Stop this all! Please!"
"No, Hon! Ilove you...You love me too, don't you, Hon?" Erina sounded frustrated.
"Sorry, Rin.." rubbed my face with a huff. "Sorry..."
"No, Hon! You can't be like that! Don't tell me you're in love with her when you've only been married for a few months?"
I paced back and forth followed by Erina who continued to search for me.
"No way.." said Erina.
"I don't know how I feel about him. But I feel crazy if Bening keeps away from me. It feels like there's a gaping cavity in here!" holding my chest.
"No, Hon..." Erina shakes.
"I love him already!"
"NO, HON!! That's not true! Tell me it's a LIE!!" yelled Erina, she covered both her ears. "It's wrong.My hearing must be wrong."
"Rin, this is not wrong. We really need to stop this!" Shaking shoulders. "We can relate well without necessarily involving our past feelings. I tried to sincerely treat you to me at that time. We're not a match, and I've found my soul mate."
"No, Hon! You can't be with him! You're just for me!" hugged me tightly.
"Rin! You should know!"
"T-aunty..."
I who was being riled up was instantly fixated on the spot. Aunty?
Shiit! Mama was standing in the doorway staring at our position, which made her misunderstand.
"Ma?"

EPILOGUES
BLAMM!!
I tiptoed myself in shock as I slammed the door behind me. It rubbed my stomach many times which was unknowingly growing in it.
What did I just do?
Banging your own mouth hoping to relieve what really should not be heard 'little one'.
"Sorry mother, son...Hope you don't hear your mother's harsh words with Aunt Erina..."
May you be well because of your father's repeated attacks, really make us tormented. (.
