Rainbow Men
Frankly.

The roar of the car ahead, Arman coming. Bi Minah opened the fence, the car went into the yard.

Bima welcomes him and Arman holds her up, kissing the boy's adorable cheeks.

"Air Auntie is there?"

"There's Om, there's Mama too."

"Yes already, Bima play again yes let Om enter first." Arman took Bima down from his lap.

Arman saluted, Hadi answered and let Arman in the living room.

They sit down, though this is the first time Arman has entered the house of his sister-in-law, Arman trying to shake off the awkwardness.

"It's here, isn't it?" Arman asked Hadi first.

"Yes, I also do not understand what is happening, suddenly Rini nelephon came home he said Dini complaining crying here" replied Hadi.

"I don't understand what's going on either." said Arman.

Arini came with a drink glass in a tray in front of her husband and in front of Arman.

"Ma, call Dini let her hear her husband's explanation."

Arini enters and returns with Andini looking red eyes, crying out. Andini sat down next to Arini. Arman looked at him with a question mark.

"What's wrong with Dini, Rin? baby why?" Arman looked at Arini and his wife Andini in turn.

"I should have asked you, why did Andini come here?" answer Arini.

"I don't think there's anything Rin, other than the news that Early yesterday positive check pregnant."

Arman gave an explanation, looking at his wife as well as his sister-in-law.

"Try to read a message from your friend named Hans Wijaya, what is it? Andini read the message! whatdoes thatmean? you're playing my sister? by making it a 1M bet with your friends! Astagfirullah Arman, where are you feeling?"

Arini began to get emotional, Hadi who wanted to talk first became silent because Arini was chasing Arman.

Arman opened his phone and looking for the message in question, Arman was surprised to see and read it.

"God! apparently it started with this message Rin? none of this is what you thought and accused me of! okay, I'll tell you everything from the beginning so you can all know the truth, even if we need to confront Hans Wijaya himself if I'm the same as what he is."

"I don't need confrontation with people I don't know. I only asked you one question, Arman! are you right to make Andini a bet?"

Arman silently looked one at the person in front of him.

"Yes, I bet with my friend Hans Wijaya! the story begins long before I knew Andini my wife. We are both single and have no lovers, I with Hans so trust each other. Hans Wijaya is a working partner, a business partner already like a brother himself. From there, all the stories begin."

"You are Arman! what's your motivation in that bet?" Arini kept talking in a high tone.

"Arini, Mas Hadi and Andini please listen to me! I was the same Hans was single while our parents always urged us to get married. Finding a partner in adulthood is not as easy as turning hands, needs adaptation, needs introductions and not as easy as turning hands. Starting from the usual fad and chat Hans proposes between the two of us who first get a girl, get a boyfriend, get a girlfriend, get girls continue until marriage we bet will pay 1M on the condition of courtship and love each other and then get married."

All silence including Andini.

"Suck means both of you." Arini grumbling.

"Stop Rin's! don't give me a bad judgment because I haven't finished telling you." Arman looked at his wife as well as his sister-in-law Arini.

"From there, we were looking for our respective soul mates even though we didn't expect much from the ridiculous quest we did. With hope not 1M is the target! me and Hans we are seriously looking for a lover and sincerely intend to find our life partner."

"But you're still wrong to make your wife your bet and your game! that's what hurts." Arini remained tense, while Andini only heard and thought about her husband's words.

"What does 1M money make? I have more than that value, I have assets have business capital, I have to say what are you Rin so you understand? I talked to Hans at the time, no need to send money no need to transfer for me. I've been happy with my marriage I've been happy to have Andini as my wife, I'm not lacking anything. But Hans is responsible and consequent on his own promise."

All quiet and silent.

"Me and Hans have the same principle when it comes to finding a mate. According to Hans Wijaya, if you are looking for a college girl, you have to hang out at the bus stop, university or academy, if you want to find a beautiful nurse, you have to hang out at the hospital stop, also if you want to find a girl employees have to hang out in front of the office or factory maybe that's the beginning of our silliness and finally I was stranded at the Andini campus stop at that time when Andini broke down his motorcycle."

"Whatever the reason you are not. frankly from the beginning, there is no openness, do not assume with self-defense has become a good person! when you found out about your ugliness, your wife got hurt." Arini expressed her opinion.

"What did you say Rin? I'm not a good person, honestly and frankly! but I want to become a better person, I always learn to be a better person than the people I know, I want to be a good husband to my wife, he said, being a good friend and friend, being a good son to my parents and a good father-to-be to my son, can't I change my life?"

"Arman, I've caught your problemit's just a misunderstanding." Mas Hadi spoke wisely.

"But Arini accuses me as if I am the one who has not had the slightest good in my life, one mistake can be corrected by not repeating it. All right, one more honesty I have with you Arini! I bumped into your husband's car because my friend and I were a little drunk. I was careless then. I was shocked and could not accept the fact that what I hit was your husband with a driver what his friend who just came out of the gate of the office. Now that I have been honest with all my mistakes, which until now have been a hindrance in my heart, I am ready to take responsibility."

Arini, Andini and Hadinata were shocked beyond measure, not expecting the arrival of Arman to open the veil that had been so mysterious.

"What did you say? now take responsibility, what is your responsibility heh?" Arini's getting sewed.

"Astaghfirullahaladhim, Arman! why didn't you come clean from the beginning?" Hadi stared at Arman's face.

"Mas Hadi, the dilemma for me to be frank, there will be a suspicion that I deliberately harmed the husband of my loved ones! so that I choose the right time to tell the whole story, right now might be the best time to make a confession and apologize."

Andini cried when she heard the honesty of her husband, that her husband Arman also loved Arini her brother. Admitting also the mistake if he hit Mas Hadi at that time, so he could not walk for three years.

"And this all changed after I met you, I no longer love anyone but you, when we date is my toughest time, should I be frank then? but such great love for you I can't hurt you, I'm sorry."

"So easy you're sorry, after having left my husband helpless for three years and my brother at your stake Arman!"

"Whatever my defense and my reasons will not go in and be accepted when emotions rule us, I resigned please leave me to the police. Take the case to completion, I am ready to account for all my actions, I am ready in prison if I can't accept my apologies. I thought there would be a time when I'd come clean and it's time."

Everyone is silent about their feelings.

"I'm ready to serve my sentence, I've prepared everything for my wife, made her work and store for her to manage if I ever have to serve my sentence and be in jail!"

Andini's cry grew sadder and more unwilling, hearing the confession and honesty that her husband Arman expressed.
