Maya (Father From Anankku)
The Part 75
Mentari had already appeared in the eastern horizon but the man who had not slept since last night was still faithfully driving his car at a speed fast enough to reach his destination as soon as possible, he could not wait to meet the wife he hated but also missed it very much.
Without getting tired Nino continued to drive her car to Shely's hometown where her parents' residence was located. After traveling a considerable distance, Nino finally arrived at a village that is quite remote with natural beauty that is still very natural and rarely seen by him in a big city like Jakarta.
Armed with the address of the identity card Shely left behind, Nino is currently standing right in front of Shely's house's gate, not to mention he checked the conditions in the house but his spirit last night was very excited to meet the wife just faded when he saw the condition of the house as deserted as uninhabited.
Even the grasses in the courtyard of the house looked very fertile because no one took care of it. Nino let out a rough sigh with teary eyes, she widened the forced smile on her face and then stepped foot into that very simple house.
"You must be in there, maybe this is all to make me fooled and think if this house no one occupies". Nino muttered to herself.
Nino greeted and called his wife's name many times but the result was nil, no one showed up from inside the house, until a neighbor approached him and asked about his arrival to the house.
" I'm sorry, looking for someone who has a home? ". A middle-aged man asked Nino.
" Yes sir, what's got a house coming out? ".Ask Nino politely.
" Lho, who has a house has moved to Jakarta following their daughter, even Shely their daughter is married there, so it looks like they are settling in Jakarta now". The middle-aged man.
Devastated was Nino's hope of hearing the explanation from the middle-aged man, even to introduce herself as Shely's husband she was also already unable to, she said, because what kind of husband he is who does not know where his wife is at this time.
Nino finally says that she is Shely's boss at the office and asks the middle-aged man to contact her if Shely returns home but Nino asks the bahamas man to keep a secret about his arrival to anyone including Shely and his family.
"Thank you sir, I really expect information from you about Shely, because I really need a workforce that is as good as Shely in my office, I've tried contacting her many times just like Shely's husband forbade her from returning to work at my company". Obviously Nino who chose to lie in order to keep Shely's good name in her village, because if the villagers knew if Shely left her husband would definitely be a gossip thought Nino.
" Together Sir, later if there is any news about Shely for sure I will contact you as soon as possible ". The middle-aged man replied very kindly.
...----------------...
Eman Moon had already left Shely from Nino's life, now everything that happened in Nino's life changed instantly, no more Nino who is naughty at night and friendly to many women even he also does not know knowing never again communicate with a woman named Amaya Wijaya who he really flatters all this time.
So it can be ascertained if any woman is also unable to flirt let alone able to make Nino take them to her bed as she did before. Although Nino does not want to admit it, in fact, Shely is the one who has made him not interested in making love with other women besides his wife.
Now there is only Nino who is cold, stiff and talks only as necessary including with both parents. His life is only busy with work and work even until it can be said he is currently a work maniac because only by burdening his mind with work problems alone makes it a little able to release Shely from his mind because if it doesn't then Shely fills the entire space inside her head.
But there is a positive thing behind the work maniac experienced by him today, namely the rapid development of his company even has subsidiaries in some areas. Nino Fernado who is now one of the successful entrepreneurs and in displeased by many people but very closed about his personal affairs even amid many rumors circulating about Shely who left him but not a single media who can prove it.
And during these six months his men continued to search for the whereabouts of the wife but strangely none of them could find any information about the woman named Shely. Though the number of Nino's men is not small.
If someone thinks Nino is looking for Shely's existence because he has realized that the woman has been able to fill all her heart, then the assumption is wrong, Nino actually interpreted it as a hatred where the woman who had been received very well by her parents dared to leave her just like that.
Nino assumes that no matter what happens, she must find Shely and teach the woman valuable lessons until she knows who Nino really is.
"I will find you and make you kneel before me and my parents to apologize". Nino muttered as her mind was focusing on Shely.
" How dare that woman play tricks on me and make my family ashamed of her passing, she thought she was such a great woman that she dared to treat us like this". Hit Nino again.
That is how Nino always said when she was alone in her room and saw her reflection in front of the mirror and strangely almost every night before she went to sleep she always said it without feeling bored.
Despite losing Shely, though, but in fact the magnitude of the ego owned by the man is not reduced even a little to just admit if he is missing the figure of the wife especially if he has to admit if he has fallen in love to a beautiful woman who has been able to change everything in her life.
