MY HUSBAND CHEATED ON MY BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 7

Alma felt the rumbling in his chest getting uncontrollable, he immediately got up from the chair that supported his body weight. Alma hustled towards the exit, no more pity for the husband who had destroyed his trust.

But just one step away Alma's feet had reached the doorknob to open it, Anton had already woken up from his break.

"Alma.", Anton's voice sounded faint.

The tired-looking woman stopped her steps, she fell silent for a moment. Is there any worry in his heart, will he let Anton and leave the room, or will Alma approach the traitor???

"Alma..", Anton's cry again sounded softly, because the situation was still very weak.

"I'm sorry Alma", Anton's sad eyes expected his wife to come and forgive him.

The name that was called did not turn his head in the slightest, he snorted a long breath with a blank look. His chest tightened withstanding the anger that had been mounting from yesterday.

"Please forgive me Al. I was wrong, I don't deserve you to forgive"

Anton's wife closed her eyes for a moment, then she grabbed the doorknob of the room.

Chequelek

He opened the door, rushed out of the room without a word. Alma chose to leave her husband weak, she did not want to lie to herself.

'Better I go, you've gone too far mas', whispered Alma inwardly.

His steps came to a halt after seeing the nurse walking towards Anton's room along with a doctor to his left.

"May we check the patient first ma'am", request the nurse's permission on Alma later.

"Si..please nuns", Alma seemed to be worried about her attitude. He smiled at the nurse and the doctor in front of him.

Alma was forced to enter Anton's ward to accompany the examination. It seems inappropriate, if he does not care about Anton, because it has already been known that he is the wife of the patient.

"After this please mother to the doctor's room yes, there is something the doctor must tell the mother further about the condition of Mr. Anton", explained the nurse to Alma, after the examination was completed.

With her body shaken by inner fatigue, Alma steps into the doctor's room Nafis Afandi who deals with Anton's wounds. This strong woman's inability finally extinct, she could not avoid the demands of circumstances that require Alma to pay little attention to the health of men who had damaged her happiness.

ANTON POV

How nih... Alma did not care, turned to me just did not want, indeed what I did was very outrageous, but how else do I feel comfortable with Heni, this widow has a lot of time alone with me.

But I know very well the nature of Alma, for sure after this he could not bear to see me alone here, let alone in a state of helpless pain. At this time maybe Alma is still shocked, after not coming home last night, the next morning I was treated in the hospital.

Hm... What about Heni now, is he also being treated at this hospital?

Derrr... Derrrtt....

The phone on the nightstand next to my stool shook.

"Mas Anton, how you doing?"

"Heni, I was thinking about you, I'm still in the hospital. You where?

"I was also in the hospital, my leg was injured but not so seriously. Looks like we'll be home tomorrow"

"Just rest, whatever happens, I'll always be with you"

"Thank you Hen, I love you"

"I love you too Anton"

'Close the phone call from Heni, I continued to dial my wife's phone number that I could easily conquer Alma'.

But there was no answer, I tried to contact Alma again, still no response. I'd better just write him a message.

'Siang Alma, I'm alone here, don't you want to go'

I was relieved that my short message was read immediately, but the reply???

'Begging Heni, I'm busy'

'I love you Alma'

I tried to seduce him, surely his heart would be melted as usual, it turns out. Never mind. I'm tired of him. All this time I needed the money, he was a hard worker, a lot of income, quite enough to meet my needs.

"Where is papa's condition, ma?", asked Tiara who was curious about her father's Anton situation.

"It still needs hospitalization, let alone, it's the result of his actions"

"What does maaa mean???"

"I'm sorry mama yes son. soon mama will sue your papa divorce, mama is not strong to see her behavior"

Alma tried to explain to Tiara the next plan, while her hand grasped the hand of the girl who began to grow teenagers in front of her.

Hearing Alma's statement, the beautiful girl could only remain silent and did not feel her eyes teary to hold back the tears of sadness.

"Yes maa... I know what Papa did to my mom. Actually, I often find papa with aunt Heni making out in this house, but I do not want to tell my mother, surely mama will be sad if you know like that. Forgive Tiara yes ma..."

The white girl lowered her head, feeling remorse for her actions that could only silently witness the betrayal of her father and the woman she had already considered her own aunt.

"No papa dear... Mama understands, you must want the best for mama, you are not wrong dear"

The mother and son hugged each other to strengthen each other. Alma's tears began to wet her cheeks, but she immediately held back and rubbed them to avoid being seen by Tiara.

However, Alma tried to look strong in front of Tiara, even though his mind had been torn apart to store up deep pain. Injured but not bleeding, this is what this one mother-daughter experienced. In her age, the more mature the household exam gets bigger.

After a dozen years of survival, bone down to meet the needs of the family, which should not be Alma's duty as a wife. But he did it sincerely because he got a husband who prefers lazing around rather than looking for a job. Especially after finding out, his wife got a salary that exceeds enough, Anton even the barges just waiting for the results.

Now all will be memories, Alma is determined to separate and immediately filed for divorce to the religious court with strong evidence.

There is nothing left to defend, not because Nature is impatient. But there is no goodwill from Anton as a husband to improve. Increasing age, Anton's behavior is increasingly uncharacteristic, especially after being exposed to his affair with Heni his own best friend.

Alma is ready to be born and inward. Whatever happens up front, he's ready to move on without Anton.

It was time for him to breathe fresh air, after being cupped into endless trouble. Facing two hypocritical humans all this time was very draining of his energy.
