My Husband's Second Love
Episode 16's

The night is getting late, my eyes are not willing to compromise. Well mbok stories still fill my brain. The shadow of Mas Han hugging and spanking other women so disturbs my mind, heart and drains my emotions. It was heavy and I could hardly bear it.

Mbok Nah is still sitting at the bottom of my feet. His hands were slowly seeping at me, sleepiness began to roll in my eyes.

...***...

I squirm, as I remember I was sleeping on the sofa. Where was Mbok Nah who just stepped on my foot? My nose smells of my favorite bath soap. Han Mas? Although I slept but my brain still remembers that Mas Han slept with my honey.

"Rum," now that I hear his voice, you've gone crazy Rum.

It was so sad that I heard Han call me, smelling a body scent when he finished bathing. I don't feel my sobs coming back. I hid behind the bolster that warmed my body. I hid my tears there.

"Rum" O Allah, my tears are getting louder, tomorrow I will go to the doctor to check my mentality, "hiks.hu.hu."

"This is me."

Han Mas? I was so hard trying to open my eyes. These are Han's pajamas, I looked up to find my favorite shady bead, when I saw a pair of beautiful eyes Han looked at me, I shuffled in his arms, "Hu.hu.hu, why is life so bad to me?"

"Rum," Mas Han hugged me tighter, "forgive me, Rum.forgive me."

"Hua...Hua.." My snot went everywhere, "chicken Han's pyjamas were soaked by tears.

Tonight I spent my tears draining my eyes. Just this time I felt broken, devastated.

I did not have time to sleep, dawn before, I woke up and took water for ablution and then performed dawn prayers. Mas Han did not take his eyes off me. But he was silent not saying a word.

During the eight years of our marriage, this time I felt clumsy to face my husband. Every time I saw my husband, I imagined that the body was in another woman's arms last night.

"Rum."

I didn't answer her call, trying not to see Han. There's a sense I don't recognize showing up uninvited.

"Rum."

I took off my face, folded it and put it on the end of the bed.

"Rum," Mas Han grabbed my hand, pulled my body forcefully and took me sitting on his lap.

My tears melted again, my sobs were heard again, "don't be like this Rum," I lowered my face, taking my breath in.

"I know, but it turns out I need time to get used to it. Your shadow hugged another woman dancing in my eyes."

Mas Han drowned his head in my chest, "you remain my favorite place to go home and return Rum, don't make me crumble with this attitude of yours."

I was silent, my tears answered my husband's silence, leave me alone today.

"Rum.." I left Han's own mas, walking out of the room towards the kitchen.

My eyes are heavy, my head is dizzy. In the kitchen, Mbok Nah is busy preparing breakfast.

"Mbok, provide milk and warm drinks for Mbak Sekar yes, if necessary provide herbal medicine and vitamins for him, Mbok," I'm sure when the child comes out, I'm sure, he'll need nutrients to restore his body strength.

"Yes Ndoro princess."

"Notice all his needs Mbok, don't let him get sick during his stay here," I'm not wrong, if I don't pay attention to you directly?

"Well, Ndoro Putri need not worry, I will pay attention to Ndoro Sekar well. Ndoro Putri please enjoy the days as usual," I nodded, I know I can trust Mbok Nah.

Sure enough, when I passed him, I saw his face pale.

"You'd better get some sleep first" I said, approaching him.

"I'm fine," she answered, bowing her face.

Strange, why did he lower his face. Which answer is usually bold and ceplas-ceplos.

"Sir, I want to talk to you."

"What's wrong? Do you feel pain? Do we need to see a doctor," the boy shook his head weakly.

"You go to the middle garden, wait for me there," Sekar walked to the middle garden, while I approached Mbok Nah and ordered to bring warm food and drinks to where we were chatting.

I sat in front of Sekar. This morning his attitude was much different. He was quieter and gave less distance.

"What's wrong?" much

"I want to go home by myself, I don't want us clumsy at one house."

"You must not rush away, if you need to rest here for a few days, there are many servants who will serve you. If you're worried I'm distracted, don't worry I'm not distracted at all."

I stood up and left the boy alone. He didn't answer anything I said. I don't care if he thinks I'm heartless. When I had to look at his face even for a few moments, my heart was sliced up on the cutting board.

I feel like a confused person. Going to the kitchen, everyone was ready, sitting down and enjoying my roses like there was usually a child there, to go back to the room was reluctant, because Mas Han had not come out of the room.

Opening the door, in front of me was a shelf containing a row of books. I closed the door and locked it from the inside, today I really want to be alone and do not want to be disturbed.

I approached the bookshelf, I researched and I read one of the titles of the books. Wow, it turns out cool is also a collection of books in this room. Not only was it about business books, but there were also entertainment books and books about flowers, my favorite subject.

Foolish of me, for the eight years I lived here, I only focused on my pleasure in the garden. In this room, there are interesting things to explore. It may be true what Sekar said, I am just a display in this house.

I watched the room. All this time I've only seen it. I go in if Mas Han is working at home to bring me snacks and drinks. After that I will come out for fear of interrupting.

I put my body on the sofa in the room. Take a light book about nature. I started to get sleepy, without realizing that my eyes were closed bit by bit, probably because I was sleep-deprived last night.

I slept well, I woke up when the door of the room was on the floor from outside.

"Rum," jedor.jedor, "Rum, what are you doing inside?"

"Rum open the door, or I'll break it!!!"

Well, it feels upset, all night I can not sleep, now just want to sleep for a while, must be disturbed again.

"Let me call Ndoro Kakung."

"Ndoro Putri, open the door," this time the sound of mbok Nah was heard.

"So get out of the way, well, I'll just break down the door."

No, what to do in the break. I hurried up, grasped the key of the room, approached the door and opened it hastily.

"One...two.ti__," click, I open the door slowly.

"What's up, mas?"

"Rum, do you know what time it is? it's Rum afternoon now, we're all freaking out looking for you around the house, but don't see, you why make me worry Rum!!!" spray Mas Han while shouting.

I just looked left right in confusion.In front of the door gathered everyone home.

"Sorry, I overslept."

Sekar glanced at me with a strange look, between worry and cynicism. Mas Han made a gesture that I didn't think before, he suddenly approached and carried me running towards our room. At first glance I saw the boy's eyes looking at me sharply, and I heard the phrase, "troublesome."

Mbok Nah came running behind Mas Han. In Mas Han's room, he slammed me slowly on the bed, "don't go anywhere!"

He went out of the room, I heard Han talking a little loudly, "I'll wait another ten minutes, I'll take you to your house."

Mbok Nah stood next to the bed, I stood up quickly and almost ran, but Mbok Nah prevented me, "preferably Ndoro princess stay here."

"But Mas Han wanted to bring Sekar mbok, I can't bear, the boy was still pale earlier."

"Let Ndoro Kakung do his job."

"But, mbok..." Mbok Nah led me back to bed, asked me to lie back down. I soon heard the sound of a car coming out of the house.

"Ndoro Putri knows, the pale Ndoro Sekar is not comparable to the pale Ndoro Kakung when it knows that Ndoro Putri is not in its usual place."

"Ndoro Kakung surrounds Ndoro's house. Start the kitchen, the living room, the terrace, the garden, the places where usually Ndoro Putri sits spend time."

"But Ndoro Kakung did not see the reading room, when he realized that the reading room was the only place that had not been seen, he immediately banged on the door."

"We were all worried about Ndoro, afraid that something might happen, because for a long time there was no sound from inside, even though the sound of the door slamming was loud."

Why worry so much, how long do I sleep? I glanced at the wall clock, Oh God, sure enough, it's almost four o'clock, "it turns out I slept a long time ya mbok, until I missed the dhuhur time."

"I'm sorry for causing a stir, it must have been all confused earlier."

"It's okay Ndoro, what matters now is that Ndoro is fine. Now Ndoro pray first, I will prepare lunch for Ndoro."

"Yes, mbok," I looked at Mbok Nah disappearing behind the door. Still ringing in my ear the words that Sekar said earlier. In my silence I pray that the child will soon become pregnant and leave our lives.
