After breakfast and chatting for a while, Luna came to the room. Want to rest. Because his head is getting heavier the effect of not sleeping all night. In the room Luna immediately took a shower, put on clothes, pray dhuha and then rest on the prayer mat, because the sleepiness is quite heavy. And it can't be held anymore. While Ariel he woke up at half-nine because his stomach had begun to rumble. It should be at this hour, he had breakfast, but it was still sleeping.
Ariel immediately took a shower, put on a casual shirt and looked for his wife in the kitchen.
"Bi, where's Luna?" ask Ariel.
"So well rest, sir. He said he was sleepy again," replied Aunt Imah. Although he already knew the ugliness of his master, but Aunt Imah still friendly, but if from the heart. Honestly Aunt Imah was disappointed and wanted to be angry, because Ariel had hurt Luna. But what he could do, as a maid, Aunty Imah could only be silent.
"Oh," that's all that came out of Ariel's mouth. He sat down on the chair and opened the hood.
"Master wants to eat?" ask Auntie Imah.
"Yes, Bi. Ask me to fry some rice, Bi. I want fried rice again. This time I gave you shrimp, Bi. Mix the shrimp, there's not the shrimp?" ask Ariel.
"No sir, do I need to buy first to the market?" ask Auntie.
"No need, Bi. Eventually, my hungry hunt Bi. Love sausage again just like chicken suwir-suwir. The same eggs also mix into one in scrambled. This time it was ordinary."
"Yes, Sir."
"Oh yes, Bi. There's young mangoes, isn't there?" ask Ariel.
"Nothing, Sir. Why?"
"Young mango harvester, Bi. Pengen. Where's dion?"
"Again in front of you, wash the car."
"Say to Dion, tell him to find a young Manga that is the same as Kedondong if there is," said Ariel.
"Yes, Sir."
"I go to the room first, later when it's ripe call ya, Bi."
"Ready, Sir."
And after that, Ariel went to the next room. Fortunately not in the key so he can enter freely. He saw Luna sleeping on the bed. Seeing that, Ariel smiled. Seeing Luna sleep quietly like this made her heart happy. Slowly, he helped Luna open her face. Then lift Luna up on the mattress so that her body does not hurt because of sleeping below.
Ariel looked at Luna's face, she saw tears in the corner of Luna's eyes. I don't know what happened, whether Luna was dreaming so she cried. Ariel wiped those tears slowly.
"Darling, I'm sorry that I haven't been a good husband. Sorry for wishing you. Sorry for betraying you, betraying our love. Betraying this holy marriage. I'm sorry that I started lying to you, even lately there are too many lies that I've been doing. But one thing you should know, I still love you, just like I used to. Although in my heart there is another woman, but she does not shift your position in my heart, because she occupies in another place so that your position remains safe without shifting at all. Honey, I love you more than you know. It's just that I'm currently being tested for loyalty and I didn't pass that test. I lost to my own breath. I should be able to take good care of myself, keep our love and loyalty. But unfortunately, I can't stand the temptation. I was lulled into treating him, so that I fell into his arms, I fell into a desolate and abject abyss. My faith was so weak that I easily connected with other women. I'm sorry." Ariel cries, she holds Luna's hand and kisses her over and over again.
Luna, who had woken up, still pretended to sleep and listened to all the words of her husband. Luna woke up as Ariel opened her face and lifted her up on the bed.
"I'm sorry, so sorry. Sometimes I feel tormented by my feelings. I want to be like before, when Laras did not come to Jakarta and was present in the middle of our family. I want enough love and loyalty for you. I want to be like I used to be, not depressed, not living in guilt and not afraid of being discovered. Honestly, there's a lot of burden I'm thinking about. It's not easy to live a relationship quietly behind your back. Every day I'm scared, scared that you know my relationship and her. Afraid that you might secretly spy on me and gather evidence of my and her affair.. Afraid that if you find out, you'll be suing for my divorce. I don't want to split up with you anyway. I love you and I don't want to lose you. I'm also afraid, if Laras is pregnant. I'm afraid that if Laras doesn't marry because I've taken his honor. I'm also afraid, what I'm doing at hates a lot of people, just like you, Mama, Papa and all my extended family. I was depressed by the feelings I was doing. But strangely, every time I saw it, my lust seemed to increase again, as if there was an urge to keep approaching."
"I don't know why it's like this, but I want to stay with him, even if I'm sometimes nervous if I don't meet him. I swear, I feel like someone is controlling my brain, heart and mind. Even Laras is like a opium to me. I can't express my feelings, because it will be useless. You will definitely consider this to be just my joke, just my essay. But honestly, I'm tired of being in this position. If I could ask God. I want to lose my race to him. I've tried to forget it, but the more I forget, the more I remember. Weird, right? Even sometimes I always imagined his face, even when I was sleeping he was always there in my dreams. Was I like this because I felt guilty for taking his honor, so that I could not live quietly and always be imagined by him or because of something else. Honey, whatever happens, I just wish you were always around me, and never left me. Right now, I'm probably confused as to what to do. Even I was confused as to what action I should take. On the one hand, I don't want you to get hurt but on the other hand, I also have to take responsibility for what I've done to your best friend."
"Darling, I'm sorry your stupid husband put you in the position you are in now. Forgive your husband for having to present another woman in our household. Forgive your husband who has done so much wrong that he often makes you hurt. Honey, I love you, long ago, now and forever." Ariel kissed Luna's forehead gently and long. After that, he covered Luna up to her chest, and after that, he came out of the room. I forgot Ariel closed the door. He walked to the dining room and waited there, because the rice was not yet cooked.
As for Luna, she opened her eyes after making sure Ariel left. He wept, weeping and mourning the fate of his household. Although she was a little overwhelmed by what her husband said, but still, she could not forgive a betrayal. Maybe if it's just a regular courtship, without any body connection. It can still be tolerated, but the problem is that they have done relationships like husband and wife, not once but many times. Then how could Luna be silent, how could she still maintain this household that is no longer healthy. How could he maintain a husband that he himself could not keep his love, loyalty and body.
Although Luna may still have a little taste, but still, she has to think logically. If you rely on feelings, then it will be easily destroyed. Different when the intellect works. The result will not be the same. Because if you prioritize feelings, Luna will behave as a stupid woman, willing to be betrayed as long as they continue together. But if the mind acts, mending parted rather than survive but the heart was wounded.
Luna immediately took off her blanket, she walked to the bathroom and washed her face and brushed her teeth. His father-in-law would come again, he could not stay asleep and did not welcome them. Luna does not want to be stamped as a lazy daughter-in-law.
After changing clothes, combing her hair, polishing her face and spraying perfume on her clothes. He immediately came out of the room and went to the dining room and saw Ariel who was eating fried rice.
"Dear, are you awake?" ask Ariel.
"Yes," Luna replied as she took some water and drank it. He sat down near Ariel.
"Want to?" ariel and Luna asked, shaking their heads.
"No, I'm still full" he replied.
Ariel continued to eat, finished eating he put dirty dishes and glasses to the sink but did not wash it because he was lazy.
"Mama and Papa are coming soon, they're already on their way. Maybe an hour or less" he told me because his father had sent him a message.
"Yes," said Luna cuek.
"You why? Still sleepy?" asked Ariel softly.
"No papa, just a little lemes," he replied.
As they were chatting, Dion came carrying two black crackles.
"What's that?" ask Luna.
"Oh this young Mango is the same as kedondong, pesenan Mr. Ariel," he said while giving two bags of this crackle to Ariel.
"It's that pesen Mas?" ask Luna.
"To be sure" replied Ariel.
"You can go home, today my wife is not going anywhere anymore" he said. Dion nodded his head and after that, he went home. And now there's only Ariel and Luna.
"Since when did Mas Ariel like young mangoes?" ask Luna.
"Since this day. We're rujaan yuk, won't we?" ask Ariel to offer.
"Maybe, it's good to eat masako and raw chili, '" replied Luna. Ariel nodded her head, agreeing with Luna's words just now.
"Here I wash first, Mas wait behind me," he said and Ariel handed the plastic to Luna. Then go to the back.
Luna herself he took a container to wash the mango and kedondongnya, after the silesia in the wash, he took a knife, masako and also some raw chilies.
"You want some trouble, Non?" ask Auntie Imah.
"Yes, Bi. Aunty want mangoes as kedongdongnya?" ask Luna.
"No, Non. Asem hehe," refused Auntie imah while chuckling, not even eating, it feels like she has tasted the acid like what.
"Oh yeah, I'm rujaan first ya Bi."
"Yes, No."
"Ntar again Mama and Papa-in-law I came, if there is a Bell, immediately open the door yes, do not forget to also say with Aunt Neni, clean the living room with the guest room, clean the same guest room, have the mattress sprai replaced with a new one, pillowcases and bolster gloves and blankets change everything. Aunt Imah help Aunt Neni too yes, let's finish," said Luna gave the order.
"Yes, No."
"Don't forget to also spray the perfume of the room into the living room, and every room, what is a mess immediately betulin," he said again.
"Ready, Non."
And after that, Luna went to the back. And sitting on the floor next to Ariel but there was a distance between them so it was not too close.
"Here let me peel the skin," pinta Ariel and Luna were happy to give it because he was also lazy to peel the skin of his mango.
To be honest, there was a sense of ilfeel, upset, angry, disappointed in her husband. However, Luna did not want to show how she felt right now. She wanted to look good so her husband wouldn't be suspicious. He wants to keep a good relationship, until the time comes they will separate. However they used to be in a good relationship, from dating, getting married until finally because of the arrival of Laras, everything turned into a mess.
And if ever, they part, he wants to keep the friendship well, unless Ariel refuses and complicates himself, he said, then he will do things that neither Ariel nor everyone will be able to guess.
Although Luna had prepared everything and presented evidence to her family, her husband's family and Laras's family, Luna would still let those who judged her. As for Luna, she wanted to see how the two of them would perish and how they would face their families who knew of her depravity.
Luna does not need to grab, hit, insult or anything because she does not want to make her hand hurt, let the closest people who judge her, because sometimes the most severe punishment is from the people around. How they gossiped, insulted and suppressed the two adulterous couples. Sometimes verbal abuse is more painful than physical violence.
