My Husband's Second Love
Episode 27's

This dinner we missed in silence. I don't want to talk to my husband much. Mas Han also seemed to be harboring something. I'm not sure if Sekar told me that I saw them kissing this afternoon.

But as the atmosphere grew increasingly awkward, I finally opened up the conversation.

"If tonight you want to accompany Sekar in the hospital, I won't mind you."

Mas Han's eyes were straight at me, I only glanced at him for a glance. I was serious about my offer, at least I opened the opportunity for Mas Han to be honest and open. For me it's better to know the truth than my husband was clandestine.

"Why am I accompanying Sekar Rum?"

What do you do, mas?! until when will you play behind my back, even though Sekar is your wife, but your attitude makes me disappointed and feel lied to.

"Because she's your wife" I answered, I half-deadly controlled myself so as not to get emotional.

"No, I'd like to be here with you Rum. For me the important thing is I know the baby the woman is carrying is healthy, that's enough."

I took a deep breath and let out slowly.

"Well, there's something you want again mas, if the meal is finished I'll ask mbok Well tidying the table."

My body feels tired, I want to get some rest. Only now that the eight knew of the marriage period, did I feel extremely tired and disappointed.

Still sitting in his chair mas Han asked, "are you sick Rum? you're acting a little weird tonight."

I didn't answer Mas Han's question and signaled to Mbok Nah who was standing behind me during our dinner, "turn please clean the table yes, I want to rest, my body is tired."

"Ndoro Princess."

"Is Ndoro Kakung done?" I can still hear Mbok Nah asking Mas Han and ordering his subordinate to clean the table.

In the room I immediately threw my body. I didn't know Mas Han was still continuing his dinner or he was following me into the room.

The only thing I want to do now is close my eyes. My tiredness is out of proportion to my mind, and it makes my body powerless.

Not to mention that my eyes had closed, I heard Mas Han enter the room.

"Rum, I'm going out for a minute, this was Juna's phone, there's important office business to be done tonight."

Important business? Since when did Mas Han want to be bothered with office affairs outside of working hours? But I kept getting up, preparing a change of clothes and a jacket to wear.

"Wear a jacket so it doesn't get cold, I know you catch a cold. Is there a file to bring? I'll get you your briefcase soon."

"No need for Rum, all Juna's files, I don't have to carry anything."

Mas Han dipped my forehead at a glance, then he rushed out leaving me alone. I tried to hold back, not to think about the no-no. Trust is important in a relationship, I keep echoing all that shit in my brain. But eventually my brain, body and heart had different understandings.

I'm sorry, I don't believe it, but I just want to fulfill my curiosity.

I immediately went to the closet, took out comfortable clothes for me to wear, a sweater and scarf, a wide hat and sunglasses I did not forget to bring.

I can't be left behind, I took my phone and called Mr. Dul.

"Pak Dul get the car ready," without waiting for an answer I rushed towards the terrace. Mbok Nah caught me who was walking out, half running after me.

"Ndoro Princess, I'm coming."

I stopped, seeing Mbok Nah wearing the jarit made me hesitate to let my brother come along.

"Mbok Nah at home." I don't want to trouble others, anyway I'm worried, Mbok Nah will just slow my pace.

"I want to come along" Mbok lifted his net a little, walking quickly ahead of me to the front. Oh, whatever, I don't have much time.

Well go in first, want me to laugh but I really can't. There's something I need to make sure of tonight.

"Sir Dul follow the father, otherwise we can go straight to the hospital."

Without much to ask Mr. Dul directly forwarded the car. My watch shows seven o'clock, not too late.

"Later if you first get home, just say Mr. Dul and Mbok Nah accompany me to buy warm milk in angkringan."

"Ndoro Princess."

I looked out, because the car felt stuffy, the car window I opened a little. Mr. Dul and Mbok Nah like getting carried away, the two people who usually joke this time do not speak.

"Sorry Ndoro Putri, Ndoro Kakung's car is nowhere to be seen."

I turned to look at Mr. Dul through the rearview mirror, "then we go straight to the hospital sir," I asked.

"Ndoro Princess."

"Don't go anywhere Mr. Dul, I might not be long."

"I went with Ndoro," once again Mbok Nah offered.

"Nah Mbok's jaritnya will make our way slower Mbok."

"Oh yes Ndoro, yes already then," pouted face Mbok Nah funny, but this time was not able to make me laugh.

I step towards Sekar's treatment room. Waiting for the elevator to open for centuries, figures on the elevator show it is still on the seventh floor. Because for too long I finally chose to climb the stairs. Who can guarantee that Mas Han will stay for a long time.

My breath was not stinged at all, my strength was multiplying, whereas I had to climb up to the third floor quickly.

Arriving at the room I went to the lobby where the nurse was on duty. I have to be careful, I don't want to meet Mas Han inside. Stupid me, because I was in a hurry to not think of bringing something. I finally felt anxious, a reason to be found. I fixed the hat and glasses I was wearing, then approached the group of nurses there.

"Good night, Sus."

"Good night Mom, how can I help you?"

"Mmm, I'd like to ask, that's room number 3.2 what's really occupied by__"

"Oh patient Sekar?"

"Oh yes."

"Yes ma'am, what's the mother of his family? Poor Ma'am, that was when her assistant came out, Madam Sekar was alone, no one was accompanying."

"When I replaced the new shift at 3, but until now there was no family who accompanied or visited."

"Sorry, mmm.I'm just a patient acquaintance, please don't tell me that I stopped by. Tomorrow I will visit, now I have nothing to bring. Who is waiting for you now?"

"Yes, this was his assistant going out to the cafeteria to eat."

"Oh so yes, then excuse me first sus, please don't say if anyone comes, I take care of Mrs Sekar well."

Some of the nurses in the room looked at me with suspicious eyes. I don't care, there are whispers and remind the nurse who was talking to me not to repeat the information to unknown visitors. Foolishly, the important thing is that I have to leave immediately.

There was a speck of relief appearing in my heart, at least Mas Han was honest with his words, somewhere he was, the important thing was not to come here.

My legs are beginning to relax, walking without weights. I headed downstairs and went straight out where Mr. Dul was waiting in the car. My hat and glasses are off.

From where I stood I saw Mr. Dul and Mbok Nah talking outside. I am thankful that I have people who are always there for me.

When the two of them saw me approaching, I smiled from a considerable distance, looking at the relieved face of the two.

"Go home to Ndoro?" ask Mr. Dul after I get close.

I nodded as I gave a sincere smile.

"Dul, if Ndoro Putri has a smile like this, atiku ademm Dul, ayem rasane."

"Yes, mbok."

"Monggo Ndoro Putri come in first."

"Mbok first," I replied, I did not want to rush in, still want to enjoy the breeze that blows.

When one of my feet was about to get in the car, I heard someone call me, "loh...Rum, are you here too?"

I turned my head looking towards the source of the sound, "Mas Juna? Why are you here too?"

Didn't Mas Han just say there was an appointment with the person who was now standing in front of me? Oh my God.don't.

"I sent Nehan here, I made a deal with the boy, he picked me up at the apartment, he said he wanted to visit someone, but I was told to wait outside."

My body was limp, I was a little wobbly, luckily Mas Juna caught my body quickly.

I leaned on the body of my husband's best friend's man.

"Rum, are you okay?" Mas Juna looked at me, I saw there was worry and shade in those eyes. The same look he always gave me, when we were close, when Mas Han had not filled my days.
