My Mom Wants to Mate
74. Gathering Evidence

"However, I'm not sure Daniel's cheating. These are just 2 unconfirmed documentation of the same culprit."

"About being asked, who would I be? Where there is such a thing, Ren. What part of these two images don't you think are acts of infidelity? The photo can be disputed. The video? Do you need to see the liveshow in that room?"

"Enough! No!"

"If you need hard evidence to attack him in court, you need a video that you recorded yourself."

Karen is unable to imagine if she should catch her husband wet and has to capture in video form with her own hands.

"Yes, I'll figure out how to catch them wet. Keep these photos and videos, where should I keep them? I also want to hold the file myself."

"Simpen only in gadgets that he roughly never held. You can fit on your laptop in the office" Haris suggested.

Karen nodded in understanding. Haris also sent the photo and video files to Karen.

Despite knowing your husband cheated on you, your sadness is as much as Ren? I'm more sure that you guys really don't have any love. (Laris).

Karen is not sad. She was simply uncomfortable expressing sadness in the presence of the man who was also her former lover.

"I pull it off first, yeah. Later that afternoon when I go to the expo, I look for new evidence."

Karen nodded, Haris left from there.

Inda who had been waiting since then was finally able to go back into the room and to his work desk.

"What the hell, boss? Very long time," said Inda who was greeted with a blank look of his boss.

Before long, tears trickled down Karen's cheeks. At first, Karen was still calm while rubbing the water on her cheek.

Inda approached Karen, patted her shoulder and hugged her fragile boss. Over time the cry grew louder and broke into heart-wrenching cries.

"Boss, cry it's okay, get out of it all."

Inda accompanied Karen in tears without daring to ask what the problem was.

Karen went home with pain in her chest. He sees the bed in the room, the place and Daniel once complement each other.

She was happy to remember the events of that night, making her the happiest wife in the whole world. He also recalled that in Daniel's body absolutely no birthmark was ever mentioned by Mami Seli.

From there Mami Seli knew that some time ago she had not received an inner living from her husband.

Her lips curled up a smile but her eyes did not stop letting out a clear circle.

His inner breath was too late for him to accept. However, the living born, Daniel is always sufficient. He always gave half of his income.

If there is no affair, Daniel is a perfect husband.

Daniel never cared how much his wife earned, he still valiantly gave a living. The needs of the house until the smallest thing is borne by it.

In his heart he kept asking himself, could he pretend not to know? Can he be like a strong wife to 'play pretty' over this condition?

Yesterday I was even worried about what Daniel was eating, had he rested or not? I'm like a fool. (Karen).

Aunt Sum arrived at 6pm and immediately prepared dinner as there was no sign of Karen cooking.

"Non, eat!" said Aunt Sum.

"Yes, Bi, thank you."

Karen ate her food reluctantly. Only two mouthfuls were capable of being swallowed. The next mouthful could no longer enter his mouth. He also drank.

"Bi, I'm going first huh."

Karen gets ready and goes to the Grand Astan Hotel.

He drove his car at high speed. He even almost bumped into other road users because of uncontrolled emotions.

Realizing his recklessness on the highway, he slowed down the speed of the car and tried to calm himself down.

Relax, Ren, save the energy to beat up the cheating couple. Do not spend energy making a noise with other drivers on the road. (Karen).

At 7 p.m., he arrived at the hotel. In the parking lot he saw Haris who was about to leave from there. He came home early apparently, Karen thought.

He entered the atrium where food stands were holding events there. He also went to the non-food stand.

Karen asks EO (Event Organizer) who oversees the event.

"Come, brother, can anyone help?" a member of the EO saw Karen approaching.

"Sorry to ask, this is the stand empty huh? What's rest?"

"Stand that is non-culinary is only from morning until 6 only, Brother."

"Oh that, thank you."

It turns out Daniel should be home by 6 p.m. This fact further strengthens all the assumptions in Karen's heart.

Then he sets up a camera on the cell phone to catch Daniel and the woman he is with. He still clearly remembers the room number in the video, 207.

He went up to the 2nd floor of the hotel and looked for room number 207.

Room 207 is in front of him. Shakingly he formed the door. Several times it was knocked, the door was not yet open. It makes Karen increasingly imagine things that are not in there.

Finally, the door was opened by its occupants. However, the occupant of the room was a man he did not know.

"What's up, huh?"

"Oh, um sorry, I think I got the wrong room. Sorry yes."

He turned off the camera on the phone he was holding. Fortunately Karen was not rash to get angry right away. If not, he must be ashamed of himself.

He descended back into the atrium and sat down while looking at the food stands selling products as well as selling their business.

He turned his head and looked at the empty Happy Family hospital stand. He pulled out his phone and sent a message to Daniel. As much as possible, he was ordinary. Don't let Daniel know that Karen's collecting evidence.

📱Karen: Niel, are you still at the Grand Astan Hotel expo? What time's home?

📱Daniel: Yes. Maybe 10 or 11. Fine at home yes 🙂

📱Karen: Yes 🙂

For the first time Daniel used emoticons in his chat for Karen. It is ironic that it was done amid alleged infidelity.

Obviously Karen was near the Happy Family hospital stand, there was not a single person on the stand.

He captured a conversation with Daniel on the chat app. He also photographed the stand and made a photo collage of both images (photo the hospital stand and screen capture his Chatsapp message with Daniel).

With the merging of the photo is very visible words Daniel is different from reality.

She immediately left the place before her tears could no longer be held back.

Yesterday he was eager to meet Daniel. She hopes not to meet her husband. He was afraid that he could not pretend to be okay while gathering evidence.

I don't think, Niel. You are a near-perfect person who can do abject things like gini. Why did you do this after that night. You shouldn't touch me. I am so disgusted with you. (Karen).
