My Husband's Second Love
Episode 57's

Sekar POVs

A month passed after I gave birth. There's a lot of things I want to do. My sadness at losing a child still lingers with pain in my heart, I didn't think my son would actually leave us.

This morning I did an appointment with Sister Eny, there are things I want to ask, but the arrival of my mother to my house keeps me from leaving the house, later if mother has come home, then, I'm just leaving.

"You must be patient with Nehan. It is not easy to remove the shadow of Rumi who has been with him for eight years" said the mother. I don't know how many times you said that. For my mother I was more ideal to be a son-in-law because we were still a distant family, a caste she said.

"Sweep mother."

"Ancen angel njabut suket nek wes kadung thukul ing yard."

[It is difficult to remove grass if it has already grown in the yard]

Poor Madam Rumi, how did she manage to survive this long?

"Why was it agreed that Mas Han married Rumi's sister if she didn't like it."

"Your husband is hard to tell, let alone your father is happy with Rumi," said the mother, "they have the same fondness, cih..," cynically speaking half-whispering.

I didn't comment, just smiled thinly. Do not let you treat me the same way, because I am not a submissive woman who will be silent if oppressed.

"Wes Saiki Kowe sing is calm, you need to be confused. Wong your son yo wes ora enek, mako I sing talking about Nehan nek kowe arep nutukke neng school outside kono."

[Now you are calm, there is no need to be difficult or confused. Now your son is no longer there, later the mother who said the same Nehan if you want to continue school abroad]

I nodded, dealing with mother turned out to be easier than dealing with Mas Nehan, my husband.

"Already, mom wants a group first, you relax first at home until her body is healthy. If you want to go out for a walk accompanied by Siti the same driver, do not go alone."

"Yes ma'am" I kissed the back of my mother's hand as usual.

Walk me to get in the car, then stand in front of the door and look at the car driven by the mother disappeared behind the fence. After waiting for a while and believing that she was not coming back, I rushed into the room, picking up the bag and the keys to the car lying on the table.

"Siti," I shouted to Siti.

"Yes Ma'am," Siti hastily came to me in the room.

"Don't tell anyone that I went alone. You guard the house."

"Yes ma'am."

Half-running me towards the car that was ready ahead. The clock on my wrist indicates there's still enough time to see Sister Eny. Anyway he said it's off now, not on duty.

Before leaving I had time to send a message to let you know that I was going to be a little late.

We met at one of the most famous cafes in the city center. I know it's usually used by people who are doing business meetings. It turned out that when I came Sister Eny was already waiting in one corner of the cafe.

"Good day" we shook hands with each other. This is the meeting I'm really looking forward to.

"Good day, madam."

"Did the nurse order food or drinks?" on the table, there was only a glass of soft drink.

"Not yet."

"You want to order something?" ask again.

Sister Eny raised her eyebrows at a glance, "please, I am among those who are not picky about food. I also don't have allergies to certain types of food."

"Good."

I waved a hand calling one of the waiters. Order some types of dimsum and non-alcoholic soft drinks.

"How are you?"

I nodded in response to his thanks.

"Because I have spent a lot of money, I want you to tell me all the details about what really happened. How did my son die? when he was born his cry was so loud" there was no way a man could die that sudden, even if it was a baby.

"Because of the infection that spread throughout her body," she replied lightly, a smile still adorning Sister Eny's face, wanting to feel like I was squatting with a smile that I thought was laughing at me.

"You want me to believe your words?" my emotions almost exploded seeing his expression.

"Yes, because that's what happened."

"I just want you to hide my son for a while, not kill him," my eyes stare at the calm face in front of me.

This time Sister Eny pressed her tone, her face showing a terrible expression, her body lifted slightly from the chair to approach me, "i did not kill your child!" then he came back and folded his hands and smiled again.

I took a heavy breath and was annoyed, "tell the true events until the smallest thing, now! or I'll report you to the police for killing my son!" my threat.

A smile again adorned sister Eny's lips, then a flash disappeared, her eyes sharp at me, "what proof will the mistress wear? if the madam reports me, the first one to go to jail is the mistress herself, trying to get rid of the little baby, what for?! looking for husband's attention? it's ridiculous."

"But you take money from me, and I just want to leave my child temporarily, not get rid of, leave it temporarily," I repeated and put pressure on the word leave temporarily, because that was my goal.

"It all happened and it's out of my control. As long as the madam knows, I am willing to meet the madam today because I still have a conscience, I understand if the madam is still mourning the loss of the mistress' daughter, I understand, and surely the madam wants to know what really happened."

If only I could have known firsthand why my son died, I would not have wanted to have a meeting like this.

"Where is the bracelet I gave you for my child to wear?"

"Wristbands? the bracelet comes with me and I bury it with the baby. Should I change the bracelet, too?"

"You..."

I almost slapped Sister Eny in the face when I heard someone call me, "Lala..." Mas Han, I immediately turned my head to look for the origin of the sound.

"Mas Han?!" I'm nervous, and I can't cover it up.

"Your husband is here madam," there was a triumphant cynical smile rising on Sister Eny's lips, "do I have to ask for extra money from the mistress' husband to tell her the secret that the mistress kept?" damn Sister Eny!

My eyes are full of threats, "if you dare to open the secret__"

"What secret, dear?"

I cut off our conversation. Mas Han's hand grabbed my waist, a small kiss dropped on my forehead, lest Mas Han know what I've done.

"Secret about your daughter's death sir," Sister Eny reached out her hand, "introduce, I'm Sister Eny, who took care of your daughter's body."

"Ah, yes, I am Nehan, the husband of Sekar. What do you mean by the secret of my daughter's death?"

I'm pounding, I'm hugging my husband's arm, "honey, there's no secret, I just want to ask him the details before our son dies, the doctor will just tell you the outline," believe me, believe that.

"Oh so."

"Okay sir, madam, I think I've told you everything I know," Sister Eny looked at me with Yeng's horrible look, "if there's anything the madam wants to ask me again or there's any information I need, I'll call you, madam," Sister Eny nodded her head, then passed from before us.

I immediately distracted my husband, "who are you here with?" I asked him to walk out of the room.

"With a partner," I glanced at my husband's eyes, it seemed that this time his curiosity would not be easy to satisfy," I felt something strange about the nurse, his gaze suspicious."

"Ah there's nothing strange, she's like that."

We walked to the parking lot. I decided to join my husband's car, let my car be taken by my personal driver. I don't want to find trouble. Mas Han would definitely be furious if he knew I went alone unaccompanied. After all, there are secrets that I have to keep right now, lest my husband get emotional and explode. He could have scratched deeper into what he had heard earlier.
