MY HUSBAND CHEATED ON MY BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 19. COMPARED - COMPARE

"Where is Mas? did you get a job? My content is nine months now. It will cost a lot, Mom. You don't get fooled! Dong nyari job!!!" heni's whine to Anton.

"Didn't you see? How much I applied for work. But, by now there is no call. Patience dong!!!"

"Mas! I've been so patient! You invited me to live with your family, unappreciated your sister and mother, gossiped neighbors, mediocre life. How can you be patient again???"

"Yes horror!!! You don't think I'm tired of the neighbors talking about you!!! They say we are always wrong. I admit I was wrong, wasted Alma and chose you!!!"

So you married me?! That's what you mean, Mas???

Yes.. I'm nyesel!! Satisfied!?!? If I used to be with Alma, I'm not tired of working, not being interviewed every day, he can accept me as I am, without demanding. Not like you?!?!"

"That's because Alma has the money, make the needs meet. That should be your job, Mom!!! Are you telling me to work now, like your ex Alma???"

"Think yourself! take it!!!" anton snapped at the woman who contained his seed.

"You forgot, Mom? I'm pregnant now, need a break. Eee... Is he told to work???"

"Yes horror! Open your ears!! You're Alma's best friend, did Alma ever quit her job while she was pregnant??? He never complained. Not a burden on my husband, not like you!!!"

"Enough!!! Don't compare me to Alma!!! I'm sick of the name!!!"

Heni stomped his feet, venting out the emotions that were bursting upon his chest. Anton melengos walked towards the exit with mounting fury, the door closed violently.

Brakkkk

His voice was so loud that it broke the silence, that it reached Adel's ears.

"What's so noisy?" Adel grumbled in his room. He continued his fall, not caring about the commotion in the next room.

"Anton... Another storm with your wife?" halimah asked when she found Anton walking in annoyance.

"Women are hard to manage!!! Not like Al..." Anton did not continue his sentence.

"That's your own choice. So don't protest! Face risk! Take a lesson from what you've experienced!" tell me about Halimah.

Instead of hearing and receiving his mother's advice, Anton went on a blackboard.

"Don't interfere in my business, ma'am! I'm not a kid! I know what's best for me!" anton's words in a loud voice, made Halimah's mother jerk. This gray woman who has chosen to be silent does not reply to the words of her son.

Ms. Halimah turned around, walked into the room. The look on the face of Anton's biological mother looks sad and disappointed to get rough treatment from Anton.

The heart of the mother who will not be hurt, the child who was conceived for nine months, was born with life-safing, breastfed day and night until the age of 2 years, cared for, guarded, not sleeping when the child was sick, fed, raised with affection. But what's the payoff??? The proud boy dared to speak harshly with eyes glaring at him.

'Mas Hasan. There is no one to strengthen me as before. Anton's getting brave with me, Mom. It feels this heartache. Not to mention the neighbor's talk about Anton's wife right now. What do I do, Mas???'

Ms. Halimah poured out her sadness by crying in the room, while imagining the face of the husband who has been 3 months left for eternity.

Adel came out of the room to the kitchen to get a drink. Not until the kitchen, he saw his brother Anton sitting on the sofa while playing a mobile phone.

"His wife was taught to speak slowly, Mas! If it's a storm, his voice don't come out of the room! Shame on the neighbor! The number of Heni, Mas! If you don't want to, let me do it!"

"eeeeee... Is it not wrong that you speak??? Whose house is this? Heni who is it? So men don't be flabby, Mas! Ntar looked at Heni, just found out!!!"

"You don't know my business, so don't interfere!!!"

"Dengerin' all right, Mom! I don't care a bit about your business!! Just ngingetin!!! If you fight with your wife again, do not be loud! Shame on the neighbors! Doang it!! Even sewot."

"Hee... Adel! You still do not know how complicated it is to have a household!! So don't be so smart!!! Mating cheepet! Let's be grown-ups!"

"What??? Ngaca, Mas!!! You married twice, not grown-ups, right??? Precisely because of the complexity of your household, I'm more afraid of marriage."

"That's Del! I'm tired!" Anton stood up from his seat, gawking quickly towards the exit.

If married only because of lust, mental and heart we will be easily weak against the exam that comes. We will easily complain, regret, until as if to blame the circumstances, when the course of the household is not in accordance with what we expect.

However, if we marry with a mature readiness, have a clear direction and purpose, we will not easily weaken to the test of Him, instead we will strengthen because we believe that every test is the destiny of God that we are obliged to believe.

Some whose marriages are tested by their offspring, by their parents-in-law, by their families, even the test can come through their own life partner. Allah is Most Just, because our trials are adjusted to the portion of each of us.

***

While in the residence of Alma there will be important events. Big decisions have been made carefully. The woman, who has been widowed for nine months, will finally accept the proposal of Yunan, a man who has been widowed for more than a year.

As usual, Alma who is still a routine as a single parent, began to dwell in the kitchen. He cooked a few simple menus for breakfast. Fried rice with egg ceplok.

'Hatiku deg-degan accepted Mas Yunan's proposal. Hopefully my decision is not wrong, because I previously prayed istikharah so as not to misstep. Because I don't want to fail a second time.' Alma daydreaming while frying eggs plop until charred.

'Waduuh. My mind goes everywhere.' Alma cursed to herself.

"You're a charlatan, Ma?" Tiara came to her mother.

"Yes, this is Ti. this is, mama gosong's egg, he hee..." Alma laughed embarrassedly.

"Can you do it, Ma? Mama must have been dreaming a lot. Mama take a break! Let me continue the fry. If it's just for clap eggs, it's easy." said Tiara confidently.

"really? Mama took a shower, baby. Ntar afternoon, have guests. After cooking, you go shopping!"

"Guests? Who, Ma?"

"Om Yunan is with his family."

"Waaah... There are smells to be applied! Ciye... "

"You like to embarrass your mom."

"Ngapain embarrassed anyway, Ma? Tiara seneng mama finally want a proposal the same about Yunan, and soon married. If mama's smart, I'm sure as well, ma."

"Thank you, baby. You always support your mom."

Seriate...
