"The success of a man is never separated from the wife behind him. But on the contrary, the fall of a man can come from the prayer of a persecuted wife."
Furious, Jefri drove his car to his home. Want to return to the office is responsible because soon the employees come home.
Mami Manda was watching television when Jefri came home. With a face full of astonishment Mami looked at Papi. The man approached Manda and sat down beside her. Still looks annoyed from the look of his pouting face.
"What wind made Papi come home so fast today?" ask Mami. The woman was surprised because since their relationship was tenuous three years ago, Jefri never came home quickly. Even the first year, he always came home drunk.
Hearing a question from his wife Manda, Jefri became less happy. He looked at the woman with a tense face restraining anger. His frustration with Melani is vented on Manda.
"What exactly do you want? I'll come home quickly you ask, if I don't come home you're angry!"
"I'm just surprised. It's been a rarity seeing you at home at this hour. Did your mistress start ignoring you?" ask Manda again.
Manda's question was like a fire doused in gasoline, making Jefri's angry heart burn even more. He stood up to Manda, with a trace of Jefri's waist saying. "How can I stay at home. Every now and then I come home with painful questions like these!"
Bathing instead of being afraid to see Jefri's anger, the woman even smiled in response. He stared back at the man.
"As a wife, I know the reason why you've started not staying at home, there's usually someone else there who's already attracted your heart. I don't understand the way you think. The silence of that wife does not mean letting you do as you please and hurt me. Never push a loyal person to the point where he no longer cares."
"How can I not look for another woman if your attitude is like this. That woman always greeted me with a smile like you!"
Manda smiled at Jefri's words. Although her heart was broken, her chest felt tight to hear the words of the man who was still legitimate as her husband, but Manda would not want to show her weakness.
"Don't equate me with your mistress. The woman just wants your money, it's appropriate that she always smiles to welcome you. Sometimes I want you to look in the mirror and see someone who deserves to be with you. Am I, the one who is willing to live with you, or is she, the one you find attractive despite actually being a bully.”
"Who said he just wanted my money? He also served me well, greeted me with a smile and said softly!"
Manda's heart crumbled to hear Jefri blatantly praising her mistress. What else is his lack of self? What lack of service does her husband mean? In fact, even though Manda knew her husband cheated on her, she still served well and still tried to serve the obligation as a wife even though she was never appreciated.
"Listen Jefri, never leave someone nice to the person you now think is best. In time, if you finally choose to leave. You might realize that the best is actually in you for a long time. Go and do whatever you want, if my existence makes you uncomfortable."
Manda stood up from her seat and left her husband alone. He did not want to stand there any longer for fear of her crying breaking down.
Jefri took a deep breath to see Manda's departure. She pulled her hair in frustration. Just realized his painful words earlier. His words earlier had confirmed that he had a mistress.
Manda's cry broke in the bathroom. He turned on the shower and bathed under the water with a cry. Manda wants to end all this. However, for some reason his heart was still heavy to let go of all.
Manda promised from today she would not care about anything Jefri would do. However, to part ways he would not do in the near future. He wanted to move all his property in his name. Manda was not willing to share his property with other women. If he was currently separated, it meant that the treasure would be split in two.
Everyone needs to be rewarded for their struggle. The choice is that he becomes happy because he has been appreciated or becomes an inner wound because he never feels appreciated. There will be a time when the patient becomes fed up, the caring person becomes a fool, the loyal person becomes a leg up. That is when his patient, caring, and loyal nature is not appreciated.
