Gerrymandering

Almost ten o'clock in the evening Alya just got to his house, although he got out of the office sooner than usual, than usual time, but Alya chose to go around and stop by at a random place to eat just to spend his time and not have to quickly get home, lazy to have to meet the man who has slandered himself cruelly, Alya needs time alone, he wants to enjoy the sadness, pain, his slump alone, so that when he meets Ivan, he wants to enjoy the pain, the pain, and the, he doesn't have to show his weak side.

Ivan's car was not seen in his garage, there was a sense of relief because he did not have to meet his husband at this time, but there was a sense of annoyance mixed with anger as well, after what Ivan did to her this afternoon, instead of explaining and apologizing, her husband disappeared somewhere.

"Mr hasn't come home yet?" Alya asked Fitri who opened the gate for her.

"Magrib came home, but left again." Fitri.

Alya frowned, "Father didn't say anything while leaving?"

Fitri shook his head, "No, you go home just change your clothes and go again, the car is parked outside the gate with the engine on, it looks like you are with your friend." Clearly again.

"His theme?" Alya Beo.

"Yes, but I also don't know which friend or who, I don't really see it, just when I get in the car, I see you as talking to someone in the car." Bright Fitri again.

"Well, let's go in, it's night!" Take Alya while ordering the housekeeper to lock the gate back.

Alya's body and mind were quite tired all day she just wanted to soak in warm water and did not want to think about who Ivan came home with, fuck if her husband left not even once, not even to return, the man had not only crushed his heart to a crumble, but also destroyed the hard-earned career he had built, only with his slanderous words.

"Shoppers!"

Peeking Alya, she threw a frame containing a wedding photo of herself and Ivan who were at her dressing table, as she recalled with ****** ***** the pink that she found in her husband's car, even her mind now imagines that Ivan is making out with his woman, after destroying himself in such a way.

Alya turned off the room lights and buried her face under the covers, hoping that her eyes would soon be closed, the time had shown at two in the morning, and Ivan had not yet returned home.

"Arrrrggghhh, I'm not waiting for him, only my eyes can't be closed!" sangkal Alya rejected the whispers of his heart that still kept wondering where Ivan went and where he slept tonight.

Although his mouth and ego continue to deny and swear aloud to say that he does not care, but in reality all of that disturbs his mind.

If everything she feels right now holds that Alya still loves and cares for Ivan, after everything Ivan did to her, the question is, how stupid is that love?

Elsewhere, somewhere else,

"You haven't slept yet, have you?" ask a woman who woke up from her sleep in bed after a heated struggle with a man who is now standing smoking in front of a room window that seems to be deliberately in the room so that the smoke can come out of the room that one in his place.

The woman may have woken up because her now innocent body was exposed to the wind from the open window before her.

"Hemhh," answered the man who was none other than Ivan.

"Still thinking about your wife?" The woman came down from her bed and approached Ivan, who was still behind her.

"I feel this is too evil" said Ivan with eyes that kept looking out the window, not one bit he turned towards the woman he was talking to who was now starting to hug him from behind.

"Mas, we've agreed, this is for the sake of both of us's futures, do you want to be forever in the shadow of your wife?" The woman provokes.

Ivan let out a heavy sigh, his eyes closed between enjoying the touch of his woman's hand that kept floating in his chest and digesting the woman's speech.

He does feel insecure with Alya who turns out his income is greater than himself, it is known to him in recent months, really this is not a feeling of envy, only his pride as a man feels burdened, he said, although Alya never questioned financial problems even though he had to take part in the burden of family needs, as the head of the household he felt useless, even though he had to bear the burden of the family every month, it feels like she told Alya to stop working and become a housewife, but what power her needs and also the dependents of her parents and her sister will not be able to handle it alone without Alya's help.

Instead of trying harder, to increase his income, Ivan made it an excuse to justify his behavior playing with other women behind his wife under the pretext of seeking entertainment and the impingement of all unreasonable problems in nature.

But not that the problem is lost or reduced, but instead makes Alya worse in his eyes especially after there are other women as a comparison.

Finding Ivan's car not in his mother's yard, Alya took the initiative to call his mother-in-law, he did not want to meet Ivan if it turned out that her husband was there, he said, he couldn't have gone there with his car, could he.

"Mom, did Ivan stay at my mother's house last night?" Ask Alya.

"Ah yes, Ivan is here, he told me to come here last night to take the mother to the treatment, had not wanted to trouble Ivan, he was not here, it's just that the mother's body is not strong if the nights have to ride a motorbike to the hospital between Hendri," replied his mother

"Oh, Alya was going to take Ivan's car to the office, because Alya's car, means Ivan is still there huh?" Alya's fishing rod, when her mother-in-law indirectly said that Ivan went there by car, but her husband's motto was clearly not there.

"Do you need Ivan's mom to wake up to come home and take you to the office?" Ask her mother again.

"Ah no need ma'am, let Alya take a taxi," Alya subtly refused.

"I'm sorry, because I don't know who to ask for help, only Ivan can I ask for help, try Hendri has a car too, I must ask Hendri anther."

"It's okay mom, Alya wants to get ready first."

Alya immediately ended the conversation on the phone with her mother when she faintly saw Vienna coming out of her house to sweep the courtyard of the house.

"Win!" Pekik Alya stuck calling the wife of his sister-in-law.

Vienna turned her head, and as she was about to open her mouth to reply to Alya's greeting, Alya hurriedly gestured to Vienna not to be noisy, by putting her index finger in front of her mouth, then waved a sign for Vienna to approach him.

Viennese obediently approached towards his sister-in-law.

"Baby Alya here, why don't you come in?" Vienna asked confusedly.

"Ivan's still asleep?" Alya's question confirmed the answer she had received from her mother-in-law about Ivan.

"Mas Ivan?" Vienna asked back.

"Ah, that-- I was fighting with Ivan and he didn't come home, so I think he's sleeping here." Errorat Alya when he realized that there was an out of sync between his mother-in-law's answer and Vienna.

"No, there is no Ivan here Ma'am," replied Vienna convinced.

"But semalem mom is fine right? Not sick? I'm the mother's curiosity keeps coming back," Alya's fishing rod again.

"Mother is fine, even while watching a soap opera until the middle of the mall," said Vienna plain.

"Oh that, yes it is. I'm looking for Ivan first yes, don't let anyone know I'm here for Ivan because of a fight, fear of mother's astonishment even be a thought, promise yes, don't tell anyone!" Alya said while giving three pieces of money a hundred thousand to keep his brother-in-law's mouth shut.

Alya was actually quite shocked, how could her mother-in-law who was always considered good and like her own mother was actually lying to her just to cover up her child's behavior.

All that makes Alya think that maybe all this time his mother-in-law actually knew the behavior of her son's depraved, but conspiring to cover all of him, is it possible? Think Alya.

In the midst of her mind, her phone reads, HUSBAND's name is on her phone screen, after making a mess all day and disappearing all night, Alya wants to know what her husband wants to say to her.

"Al, I was staying at mom's house, mom got sick last night, she said you called mom? I'm back now yeah, your car broke down again huh?"

Damn,, even Ivan's tone was relaxed as if no problem at all had happened to them before.

"Don't Van, I can take a taxi, you just keep your mom there!"

It feels like Alya screams saying that he is currently in front of his mother's house, but it seems, this is not the time to dismantle everything, after all, hearing Ivan's casual style of speech made him feel lost all night not sleeping thinking about his existence, while the one who was worried he might even be cool making love to other women.

'What game are you and your family trying to play with me, van? Take it easy, I'll join your game!' Alya muttered in his satin.
