MY HUSBAND CHEATED ON MY BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 35. HOMECOMING

Anton's been in hospital for 5 days. The doctor said he could go home today. The healing period can be continued at home, because the wound has improved, only the amnesia needs extra assistance and patience.

"For Anton. What's his condition now? It's getting better, isn't it?" greet doctor Syarif who is checking Anton's health condition with a friendly smile.

"Yes, Doc. No longer dizzy. But sometimes suddenly remember an event but vaguely, this is what makes me confused." Anton tells the doctor about his current situation.

"Prophey yes, Mr. Anton. It was the result of a hard blow to the head. Later when it is at home, there must be many memories that gradually recover as usual. Mr. Anton is home today. Please take good care of his health! Don't do heavy work first! Also do not forget to take the medicine regularly! Yes, yes, Mr. Anton. I'll check on the other patients. Excuse me, Mr. Anton." Pamit Syarif doctor with a series of his teachings for the recovery of his patients.

"Together, Doctor" Anton replied almost simultaneously with Halimah's mother who accompanied her son patiently.

Arriving at home, Anton was greeted with joy by his wife. Heni had longed for the presence of her husband who she had not seen for 5 days.

"Mas Anton, thank God you're home now." Heni's voice sounded very crisp greeting Anton who started to enter his house.

"I'm sorry, who are you?" answer Anton with a flat face.

"Mas Anton??? Why don't you know me???" Heni was surprised at the response of the man he loved. Anton's face was cold with no expression.

"I'm going to rest first. My head is a bit dizzy" Anton said as he moved his feet toward the room he usually places with Heni.

After arriving at the door of the room that was accidentally opened by Heni, Anton was surprised.

"Lho... Why is there a baby in my room? Whose child is this?? Mom, please move this kid, I want a break! My head's getting heavier." Anton shouted with wide eyes, not thinking there was a baby in his room.

"Mas.this is our son. My son was born 5 days ago. I'm waiting for your arrival to give our son the best name." Sahut Heni who is increasingly confused with the unnatural gurgle of her husband.

"Our son??? Whatchu mean??? I don't know you??? Don't make it up!!! You want me to be my wife. Denger yes!!! My wife is Alma. Almaila Khumaira's. And I already have a child with him. Tiara Permata Sari is my only son. Fruit of my love with Alma." Anton's grunts began to burn his emotions.

"Mother!!! What happened to Anton??? Why is it like this??? Please explain, Mom!!!" whining Heni with teary eyes. Because his existence is meaningless to Anton. Moreover, the child who has been born with a life bet, is not considered at all by the man who married him 9 months ago.

"Del, please move your niece to your room for a while! Let your body rest in his room. And you Heni, calm yourself! Sit down, yeah!" Ms. Halimah tried to act as wisely as possible, so that the problem did not get worse.

Adel immediately entered Anton's room, he held the little baby of his nephew very carefully. He did not want the unnamed baby to wake up and cry because his sleep was disturbed.

"here, Honey. Aunt fat ya... Let's move the bobok to aunt's room. Pretty boy." Adel's subtle voice petted the baby and immediately led him to his room with care.

Once in a sense of security, Adel rushed out of the room and then walked towards the living room to meet Bu Halimah and Heni who were sitting on the sofa.

"Heni... You calm down first. Don't have any thoughts after seeing Anton like that. The doctor said Anton had amnesia due to a collision in his head during the accident. So mom, you and Adel have to be patient with Anton's sometimes uncharacteristic attitude." Ms. Halimah explained to her daughter-in-law patiently, she had considered Heni like her own son.

"But, Mum. Why doesn't Anton remember me at all? Especially her son? Then how should I deal with Mas Anton with his attitude???" asked Heni who looked angry. Both of his eyes glazed over withstanding the immense sadness.

"For a while, you just follow Anton's will. Slowly we should try to stimulate his memory back. Surely one day Anton will recover as usual." It's obviously Halimah.

"Yes, Mom. Where do I sleep for a while? I'm so afraid to be rejected again with Mas Anton just now." Heni began to understand his situation.

"For a while, you slept in Adel's room. Adel's room is enough for you and your baby. And Adel let's sleep with mom. Yes, Del?" answer mother.

"Yes, Mom. Let Heni and my nephew rest and sleep in my room, until Mas Anton remembers everything well." Adel said as he looked at Heni's face.

(Yes, Miss Ratna. What's up, huh?) answer Alma.

(Sorry, Mom. The old man was still sitting in front of the fence day and night. I can't bear it, Mom) Ratna said again.

'Oh God... Why do you have to do such a silly thing. Do you not think, if his attitude like that, even make me ashamed. 

Alma said in her heart. Hearing the news from Ms. Ratna, the woman who tried to be patient to face her father's attitude, sometimes felt upset.

(Yes, Mom. After teaching me to go home again. Sorry, Madam. So trouble Bu Ratna) replied Alma.

(It's okay, ma'am) Ratna replied.

After hanging up the phone call from Ms. Ratna, Alma immediately sent a message to her husband Yunan.

(Sorry, Mom. Is it busy? I'm going to go home and finish up later. Can Yunan please me?)

Moments later, Yunan read a message from his wife and immediately replied to her.

(Later to be with me, honey. You plng first, we go together aja ya) reply Yunan.

(Ok dear) Alma answered.

"Where is Alma, Mom? Tiara too? I didn't see." Anton asked his mother.

"Mas... A.. ku is.. trimu" said Heni with a sour face. His breath was breathed out violently. His chest felt tight to hear the name Alma mentioned by Anton.

"You again, you again?! Women are shameless! I don't know you. If you keep forcing me, just get out of this house!!! It sucks!!!" Anton grunts while throwing his face away.

"Mother.help me, let Mas Anton remember everything, ma'am." Please Heni wept near Halima and rested at her mother-in-law's feet in earnest.

"Heni.. patience yes, this is a household test. You don't force the memory of your husband, the consequences can be more fatal." Wejangan ma'am Halimah on her son-in-law.

"Yes Mom. But it's so hard to live. Why am I going through this bad thing??? I should have been happy today, because I was able to reunite with Mas Anton. But what is the truth??? All I remember is Alma... Alma... Alma... Does Alma still dominate Mas Anton's heart??? Curse of Heni in his father-in-law.

"What Anton did wasn't intentionally hurting you, Hen. But he spoke and acted according to his memory.

Ms. Halimah stroked Heni's back lovingly. And Heni was still weeping as he bowed to Halimah's mother.

There was no place to complain to Heni, because both of his parents were dead. As evil as Heni was, he could still cry. Crying because it has felt what it feels like not to be considered by loved ones.
