My Husband's Second Love
Episode 120's

The kids are asleep. Time shows at 21:00. My brain is still struggling with the message I received from Mas Juna. My desire to go home and let Mas Han rest I held back. Let him delay his rest for a while, I must obtain an answer.

"Kids are sleeping" he sounded right behind my head, while I stood by the window that showed a view of the city at night.

"Why are you lying, ma'am," my eyes still pointed out the window. Then I looked at him closely, I no longer wanted to make small talk.

"What do you mean?" his eyes showed astonishment but then he seemed to realize something and threw his gaze out the window, "what did Juna say?"

"What are you hiding?"

Mas Han looked at me, "i want you to stop thinking about Sekar, Rum."

"I want us to stop immediately dealing with that woman, mas!"

"You know how scared I am every time I remember that he's still out there?!"

"Our son is in danger."

"No one can guarantee that the woman is sane now," I looked at the man in front of me with an angry look.

"Police suspect something, Rum."

"Last few months, there's been a guy who's been going to the Chinese house a couple of times at night."

"Keep," my sambar is impatient.

"I asked them to delay the arrest. She's Lita's mother, after all."

"Damn you, ma'am," I walked over to the bed. Collect the jacket that your child wears, then pick up the phone.

"Sir Dul, get the car ready," suddenly Mas Han ambushed me from behind. She put her hand on my stomach and hugged me tightly.

"Rum, I just want the police to hold off for a little while," I tried to break away even though I knew my efforts would be in vain.

"Silent Rum, quiet!" he snapped at me, Mas Han's body strength stopped my body movement.

"I already know where Sekar is. Yes, it is true!"

"I just wanted to give him a chance to realize his mistake by surrendering, Rum."

My anger is mounting, "fuck you, mas."

"I've been trying to forgive all your mistakes. And you gave the woman a chance to realize her mistake?"

"He killed your mother, man! remember that!"

My ex-husband's body stood stiff. His hands still held me tightly from behind.

"Take me off, mas. I'm going home!"

"I'm sorry, Rum."

"I've only known the information for a few days!" pretexts.

"The problem is again that you lied because of that woman, my mother!"

"You still love him?"

Mas Han replied quickly, "not at all!"

"I just want Lita to at least meet her mother once in a dignified condition."

"Don't look at her mother with handcuffs on her hands."

"Or meet later after Sekar gets out of jail under the label of ex-convict."

I took a deep breath, "let go of me, mas."

I made my body relax. Slowly Mas Han let go of his embrace. I turned around and faced the man in front of me.

"Is the dignity of the School more important than the safety of our children, mas."

"The woman must bear the consequences of all the deeds she did, mas."

"Lita is too small to know what dignity is."

"But his life is in danger, if Sekar comes after him and wants to take him away."

"Are you sure, you did it for the good of Lita, mas, and not because you still harbored a sense of melancholy for that woman?!"

"You're crazy, Rum," Mas Han looked at me sharply but I saw love and longing for me in those eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, ma'am."

"I've been intending to forget you and throw away all the flavors I once had for you."

"You still understand me so much, Rum."

"Forget me?! bull ****!! Now your body's heating up, Rum. Your cheeks are flushed." His smile made me both embarrassed and irritated. He was making fun of me and laughing at me.

"I'm preparing to accept the other man in my life, so you don't make it up," I covered my cheeks with my two hands. Fucking cheek!

"Who? Yuna?!"

"Yes, I'm Juna!" ketus.

"Well, I'll play sportsman. Give me the same chance as Juna and we'll see who wins your heart."

Our conversation stopped because the door was knocked on by someone. Mas Han walked up to the door and opened it.

While I took the children's jacket and then threw the long-strapped bag that I had brought to my shoulder.

"Sir Dul you carry Lita, yes, let me carry Ken," said Mas Han.

"Well, Ndoro kakung."

"It's okay, Mr. Dul."

"So long ago because of the same war gorilla who suddenly hugged me from behind, hard to remove."

"Hihihi," was heard laughing Mr. Dul who was detained.

Mas Han glared at me then cleared his throat with a loud voice that made Mr. Dul instantly silent.

"Ndoro Putri wait in the lobby, I'll get his car ready first," I nodded and took a seat next to the sleeping children.

"So you've been married to a gorilla?" sindir Mas Han's.

"Maybe" I replied indifferently

"Well, there's a gorilla as handsome as your husband."

"Former husband, don't be too hopeful, mas," Mas Han silently then looked away.

"That's Mr. Dul."

I immediately carried Ken and Mas Han carrying Lita. The children's jacket was brought by Mr. Dul when he took the car.

After putting the kids in the car. Mas Han grabbed my hand and twisted my body facing him.

"I'll solve Sekar's problem as soon as I can, and then I'll get you back to me no matter what, Rum."

"Very well my excuse, when I said I was going out of town tomorrow."

"Don't just talk, mas."

"I've heard your sweet talk too often, so it's no longer affecting me."

I took my ex-husband's hand off and got into the car.

"Be careful Mr. Dul," cried Mas Han as he waved his hand greeting farewell.

During the journey my brain won't rest. My mind wanders everywhere. I can't lie to my own heart. When we were in the room and joking with the kids, I was happy.

Even I had the time to think about giving up and returning to Mas Han. But all of that evaporated immediately when I knew again he lied by saying he did not know the development of the Sekar case. Though he knew very well that there was a clue that led to where the location of Sekar was.

"Ndoro Putri is thinking of something?" ask Mr. Dul who saw me from the rearview mirror.

"Not really, yes maybe a little bit" I replied.

"About Ndoro Kakung?"

"Hmmm" I replied smiling.

"Not that I defend Ndoro Kakung yes, but I think Ndoro Kakung lately has changed a lot."

I looked back through the rearview mirror, Mr. Dul's face looked serious.

"Ndoro Kakung often told me about the future of children."

"Pengen build the household again well with Ndoro putri. Imagine every day gathering and hope that Ndoro princess also loves Lita like Ndoro princess loves Ken."

I took a long breath. It is easy if you want to make it easy. Forgive and repeat. But I don't want the lies that once existed to be a black shadow in our household.

What if I always suspected Mas Han of lying to me. How tormenting the unbelief that comes at any time. It can damage myself, eroded insecurity that increasingly haunting.

"Ndoro's daughter still hesitates on Ndoro Kakung?" mr. Dul's voice was heard again.

I didn't answer, maybe not Mas Han the problem. But I still doubt myself.

My conversation with Mr. Dul stopped with our arrival in front of the house. Mom awaits our arrival in front of the fence. I pouted, why did not just come along, if it was still waiting for us to come in front of the fence.

POV Author

Permadi entered the room that was screwed Sekar. The man was trying not to make the slightest sound.

He stopped and stood by the side of the bed. Now he's asleep. The last few months he was calm because of the remittances from Lek Broto that were entrusted to Permadi.

I don't know what Permadi wants by entering the room Sekar. His outstretched hand touched the unraveling child's hair on his forehead. Slowly slip some of the hair into the ear.

"You are beautiful even in a sleeping condition" whispered Permadi.

""How can I wake you up when you sleep this soundly."

Permadi's eyes stared at Sekar's body from head to toe. The short negligee used by Sekar is revealed upwards. While the thick blanket is no longer able to cover the body because it is scattered on the bed.

"Your skin is like the porcelain of a young woman," unwittingly the hand was stretched out again, when it almost touched the skin of the thigh, Permadi realized something and pulled his hand.

Sweat as big as corn seeds filled Permadi's forehead on this cold night. His body temperature is heating up. His jaw was tight. The desire to approach the woman's body was very strong.

"Fuck, I just want to touch you."

Permadi close his lips to Sekar's thigh. Inhaled the scent of the body Sekar deep. He enjoyed every sensation, slowly but surely the head of the Permadi headed upwards to the part of his lips.

The man stopped his movements when the lips of the two were close together. Permadi closed his eyes.

Suddenly, "plakkk," came a loud voice and left a sense of heat on the man's cheeks.

"What are you doing!" a sharp highlight pierced like a sword ready to be unsheathed.

The jewel smothered Sekar's mouth before she shouted, "don't make a sound or I'll kill you!"

Close his mouth tightly. Inching to the end of the mattress with fear. There was no place for him to escape. Because the man drew a small knife right around Sekar's neck.
