PENGHALAM
Chapter 59. Weny Confession


Yudha saw that Weny was enjoying this day with her. They went to the cinema and also had a stop at the city park while enjoying fresh ice cream. Yudha did not say much throughout the day. His mind was already focused on that one thing and he could no longer turn it to other thoughts.


"Kok, have you been quiet? You tired? Would we rather go home now?" ask Weny. Yudha tried to smile so that Weny was not too suspicious.


"As far as you are. If you want to go home, yes, we go home now."


Because Weny felt sorry to see Yudha who thought she was exhausted, she decided to go home at that time, even though she was not satisfied to enjoy it. He said there was still another chance to spend time with Yudha, especially when her son was born.


"Well, we better go home now. Maybe you're tired of your job, Mom. I don't want to make you any more troubled. We can take another walk the next day after you feel better."


Yudha smiled back. How sweet the woman said, she deserved to be easily deceived. Now he wants to laugh at himself.


They're back home. Weny tidied up her groceries, arranged them neatly in the room. He remained unaware that there was a danger lurking around him at this moment. He did not realize that he would soon be destroyed. Weny was happy. Happiness that numbs the taste of pekanya.


"Later if you have more free time, will you accompany me to check into the hospital? I have to routinely come to the doctor," said Yuni Basa stale. She did not expect her husband to come.


It felt like Yudha wanted to vomit hearing Weny's words. Realizing that he had been caring for the flesh and blood of another man, he wanted to leave the house right now.


However, he had to endure it. Yudha must find the most appropriate time to drop the woman's pride. He wanted there to be only the two of them in a room that allowed him to shout at will in front of Weny. No need until someone hears. Just wait for tomorrow until someone else knows it.


"Yes, I know. Didn't I do it before? You just have to say that you want to come to the doctor. I'll make time for you."


Weny was very happy to hear the reply from Yudha. Feeling that the man could always make her happy, especially today. Even though he hoped it was just a discourse. Because actually he did not want the man to go to the obstetrician.


"Thank you, yeah."


But happiness is only temporary. When Weny cleaned her body and prepared to sleep afterwards, she found her husband in the room and was pensive. Even Yudha was still wearing clothes this morning.


"I thought you had a bath, Mas" said Weny while drying her hair with a towel.


Yudha could not smile anymore. He looked at his wife with a cold gaze that made Weny instantly feel that something was wrong here. The woman could feel it from Yudha's gaze. It instantly understood that the man would be angry at her for whatever reason.


"Did I make a mistake? Why do you look so angry? This morning we just went for a walk. I don't think there's anything wrong" Weny said.


Yudha was laughing, all the pretenses that the woman was doing were so incredible. And now he's showing his best acting again. It is very effective to deceive anyone if the person who is deceived has no evidence at all.


"Speak clearly. I don't understand what you mean, Mom. I don't understand why you look so mad at me. If I made a mistake I'm sorry."


Yudha laughed again. Even Weny very easily apologized when her mistake was no longer tolerable.


"You want me to speak clearly and not make small talk? Okay, I'll talk clearly about what makes me mad at you. I just want to find out who's the father of the baby you're carrying?"


Weny froze in place. He knew that he could still dodge this. As long as her husband has no proof at all, then she can still pretend to say that the baby being conceived is the flesh and blood of her husband, as usual.


"What is this you are?! Why did you suddenly say that?! And what kind of question is that?! Of course you're the father of this baby. Who else is it?! Suspect someone?"


"Yes, of course I suspect someone. Someone you suspect is the baby's real father. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea what his name is, I only heard a glimpse of his voice when you spoke to him over the phone."


Weny was back on the spot, already unable to move, as if something was holding her back. Didn't expect her husband to hear her conversation this morning when he received a call. Stupidly, she also said that the baby being conceived was not her husband's flesh and blood.


"I can't believe you're telling me this." Weny spoke softly and tried to tear out her tears so that Yudha would believe.


"And I can't believe you're doing this to me either! You know that I'm very happy with this baby's presence. Knowing that this isn't my son, it breaks me, Weny. Aren't you thinking at all?"


Weny almost cried but still tried to hold back. No, she obviously wouldn't want to lose her husband just like that. The woman wanted to reject all of that for as long as she could. As long as she can, she will continue to keep her husband.


"This is your son! You misunderstood me!"


"Misunderstand what?! You want to prove that it's my son?! Okay, then we'll have a DNA test" Yudha said with some emotion.


Weny rounded her eyes. When that happens, the story ends. He will not have another chance to live in this house. Anyway what to do now? Still want to dodge?


Weny looked down and finally cried. He slowly nodded, feeling that he had no chance. He'll be even more embarrassed if the DNA test happens. So maybe it would be better if he just admitted it here. Who knows if her husband can forgive her.


"Ok, I admit to everything that this isn't your son. This is the son of my ex-boyfriend who won't take responsibility for my pregnancy" said Weny softly.


Now Yudha felt very broken. That word destroyed him. That truth has ruined his whole world. His wife was pregnant before they even got married. This woman bore the mistake she made herself with her ex-boyfriend who ran away and did not want responsibility, then married Yudha and hoped that Yudha would become the father of the child conceived by Weny. What a foolishness that destroys his pride. How could all this have happened.
