Sewed Honesty
"Not a. .., what is Mas?"
Wati asked with tears in her eyes. She strongly believed that there was now something Firhan was trying to hide from her. Perhaps it was related to her husband's past that was kept in close quarters all this time.
As a wife, Wati also wanted to get an explanation directly from Firhan. All Wati could do now was urge Firhan to be able to continue his paused remarks. Wati was very sure that there was something she did not know about her husband.
"There's nothing" Firhan replied.
The man straightened his back and was about to leave the living room. However, Wati quickly held Firhan's hand and asked her husband to remain there. For her, her husband owed her an explanation.
"Explain, Mas. Is there anything Mas Firhan has been hiding from me all this time?" ask Wati.
Wati's tears are growing. He tried to restrain Firhan, and asked Firhan to be honest. Wati knew very well that when her husband was going to be honest, it must have been bitter honesty. However, Wati will be ready to listen to everything that has happened in her husband's past.
"Tell me, Han .. It's time for Wati to know everything" said Ms. Wati.
"There's nothing to tell, ma'am. After all, all this happened because of him," Firhan replied.
Year after year has changed, but Firhan's thinking is still the same: everything that happens to him is because of Ervita. It was as if Firhan did not see that the good and bad of human behavior were all rooted by God. Karma also occurs, and there are times when the Power, gives bad karma to those who in the past were bad.
"Who is he?"
Wati wondered. Who is her husband now. The word 'he' that Firhan mentioned now refers to who?
"Explain, Mas. We have become husband and wife. There is no need to hide anything anymore" replied Wati.
Now Firhan is so emotional with Wati. Why did his wife corner him, and also ask for an explanation for everything? According to Firhan, the past remains the past. No need to be told and re-told.
"I've had children! Your satisfaction? Ha!"
Firhan snapped and threw out Wati's hand that was originally holding her hand. Now the man is so emotional. Wati urged him. Until Firhan's emotions boiled so quickly.
"Kids?"
Wati cried with a sigh. Hearing Firhan's answer alone, it hit him. The harsh reality that Wati must hear now. Ms. Yeni who was there was crying. Any woman would be hurt by her husband's confession. After all, this was a confession that truly pierced the heart.
There are times when the past can boomerang in the future. Same thing is happening now. Household that is not harmonious, it feels increasingly shaky with the recognition of Firhan just now. Wati felt that her husband had betrayed her, was unfaithful even to the point of having a child.
"How's the story?" ask Wati.
Firhan actually chose to pass away and then chose to sit on the porch of the house. The man took out a cigarette from his pants, lit it, and then took a sip. The taste of cigarettes with nicotine content is the right friend to solve his nervous breakdown and his emotions that had risen.
While in the living room, Wati's sobs and cries sounded so heart-slicing. Bu Yeni was crying too.
"How's the story, ma'am?" ask Wati.
"It happened five years ago, Wati. When Firhan was in college. It's been a while, Ti," replied Bu Yeni.
Although it's all just the past, and in the past five years. Still, it was a bitter reality that Wati accepted in the present.
"Please tell me, Mom," replied Wati.
"Thus, Ti ... Firhan has a girlfriend. They dated for quite a while, and then Firhan and the girl had a relationship before the wedding. However, there is no marriage. We were once guilty of not admitting the child. So, Firhan already has a biological child. Hence, I was very shocked when you said Firhan could not have children. Because, in the past, she could have children" explained Bu Yeni.
Nothing else was covered up by Bu Yeni. He also admitted his fault first to Wati. According to Bu Yeni, all problems are wrong, and now it's time to be able to admit their mistakes first.
"I'm sorry Mom and Firhan, Ti" said Bu Yeni.
"How old is that child now, Mom? What's wrong with the child to bear Mas Firhan's fault," replied Wati.
What Wati felt now was precisely pity for the child. Not getting recognition from Firhan, of course the child who must bear the blame of his parents for a long time. In fact, for the rest of his life.
"Almost five years, Ti," replied Bu Yeni. "He's a girl" he continued.
Listening to the full version of Bu Yeni's story, Wati sobbed. Why is her husband so desperate to ruin a girl's life. Indeed, Bu Yeni did not explain clearly who the woman and her child were. It's just, everything was told Bu Yeni in full. Nothing is hidden.
"Why did Mom and Mas Firhan never tell Wati? If, Wati knew from a long time ago, Wati would not be as hurt as this, Mom," he replied.
Yes, this is the stingiest honesty. Her intention of wanting to know her husband's past made her very sad. A very painful heart. Wati lost faith with her husband.
