MY HUSBAND CHEATED ON MY BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 12

Tok.

Anton's hand knocked on his parents' door rather hesitantly. Her chest of fireworks reduced the tension that enveloped her rumbling anxiety. Actually, this tired looking man hesitated to return to this house. But there was no other choice, forced him and his new wife to take the option to try to live there.

"Who the hell, gini nights to visit?", grumbled Halimah, Anton's biological mother who was 60 years old. When he was laying his body on the mattress, because of the sleepiness that had struck in his eyes. Somewhat annoyed, the woman who started to gray came down from the bed.

"So what mom, she said tired, want to sleep. Where else are you going?", asked Mr. Hasan the husband of Ms. Halimah, who is none other than Anton's real father, is 8 years older than his wife.

"That's it... There are more guests knock on the door, cook you do not denger?", while walking in limp, ma'am Halimah took the time to answer the husband's question.

"Oh yes ma'am... It's already 10 pm, who???", Mr. Hasan was curious about his guests, while looking at the clock attached to the wall of his room.

Ms. Halimah opened the front door carefully.

"Assalamualaikum, mother.".", Anton opened the conversation with a hopeful smile, but in his heart he hoped to be anxious. He stretched out his right hand, while kissing his mother's palm in reverence.

"Lho you are Anton... Greetings waalaikum, why are the gini nights coming here???", surprised that Halimah received the arrival of her first son accompanied by a smile at the corner of her lips.

The aging woman stared intently at Anton's back. In astonishment he looked in full search, from head to toe, the figure of a middle-aged woman who did not dare to return the look of her eyes. Heni lowered his head, he trembled against his mother-in-law who was now in sight.

"Who is Ton...???" asked Halimah by furrowing her brows.

"Hmm. i.ni Heni is.tri new bu", with stammering and tight chest restrained restless, Anton tried to introduce the woman behind him who had not dared to lift her head.

"Whataa??? New wife??? Are you married again Ton???", ma'am Halimah asked in a loud voice in shock at the explanation of her son who brought unexpected news.

"Hmmm... Anton will explain ma'am, can we go in first???", Anton asks himself to enter while occasionally looking inside the house. In his heart he was afraid to face his father, if he knew the purpose of his return tonight.

If with his mother, Anton can still be a bit calm, but not if he met his father, who incidentally was tough and not infrequently vent his anger with physical violence.

Anton's childhood experiences are still neatly preserved in his memory. When he came home because he was playing with his friends, the father slapped him and did not hesitate to throw him out if he tried to fight his words.

He was also never given pocket money for a week, when Anton made an unintentional mistake. He played firecrackers until he woke up his father while he was taking a nap.

Before his mother let Anton and Heni in, a white-haired man, his face also began to wrinkle, walking slowly towards the living room.

"Who is ma'am, why are there storms?", the man asked as he looked towards the entrance, there stood sculpting two guests who did not dare to return his gaze.

"Data.mm... This is Anton and his new wife sir", Ms. Halimah explained as she tried to cover up her anger, fearing things would go wrong. Because Miss Halimah has memorized, how the character of her husband is.

"Let Anton and his wife come in first sir, let everything be clear", Ms. Halimah let her two guests in and sat on the living room sofa with a tense face.

"Thank you ma'am", Anton stepped in and stretched out his hand to shake hands with his father.

While Heni followed doing the same by stepping in doubt and lips not daring to speak, cold sweat soaked his body so scared him.

"What happened to you Ton, where your wife's son, you haven't told me for a long time, now go home and bring a new wife".

A long row of questions from Mr. Hasan's mouth to his son who was sitting quietly. Both of his legs were swiped to reduce his anxiety.

Heni still speaks a thousand languages. He did not dare to raise his head, because in his heart he claimed wrong to have had an affair with Anton, as a result now a husband and wife.

"Me and Alma were divorced 6 months ago, my son Tiara went with Alma. I'm sorry I haven't had time to tell my father and mother", Anton tried to explain to his parents, about the state of his household with Alma.

"No wind, no rain, why did you divorce Alma??? As far as he's a good wife, never demanding you a living, must the fault be in you, Ton???"

Anton's father began to climb up, sighing deeply, the old man stared at Anton with red eyes holding in anger.

"Hm... It's not so well... Alma already had another man, and I was kicked out of her house", Anton tried to alibi to cover up the big lie that was done with the woman next to him.

"I can't believe you must be lying, Alma's a good wife, it's just you who used to be alone. Is that why you did not love your father and mother Ton???", Mr. Hasan raised his face while raising his voice because of the mounting anger.

"It's not so well, a. I.", Anton tried to convolute, he began to look for excuses, but his sentence was stopped by the clasping of his father's voice.

"Tomorrow I'll ask Alma what really happened. I trust my son-in-law more than you, Ton". Mr. Hasan squinted his lips, while leaving Anton, Heni and Ms. Halimah who were still sitting on the sofa.

Anton fell silent as he swallowed his saliva to moisten his throat that was beginning to dry up.

"That's it... You and your wife rest first, occupy the room that used to be your room, Ton", a moment later Halimah's mother moved from her seat, she left her two guests with an upset face.

"Yes ma'am, thank you", Anton chimed in with some relief.

The man who looked more and more tired was staring at Heni while looking at him with a flat face. Then Anton stepped followed Heni, towards the back room, according to Halimah's instructions.

"Mas... What are we supposed to do? I'm afraid that if your parents know the truth, we're kicked out" Heni began to lay her body on the bed, especially when she was four months pregnant. He looked very tired of being overwhelmed with anxiety in his mind and heart.

"We rest first, tomorrow we think again, I'm very tired", Anton closed his eyes that had been holding back sleepiness, because of tiredness and the burden of life is getting heavier, the fruit of his own actions.
