"Well, the guests we've been waiting for are here." I deliberately emphasized the word guest so that Citra realized her position in this house. It doesn't matter what the woman is in my in-laws' house. He is definitely a guest who should know himself.
"Don't mind if I come here? I was actually surprised when Mom called. I'm afraid I might be disturbed if I visit this house often," Citra said while tucking her fine hair behind her ear. The image deliberately slowed his movements as if showing off a ring encircling his ring finger. Huh, of course I don't envy seeing it.
"Doubt or not, one vote will lose by two votes. And that doesn't matter to me. Look, I welcome you myself." This time I spoke while looking into the eyes of Bang Rama. Suddenly, the man turned away from Citra and approached me. While Citra's face was pouting.
"Where would you go with this outfit?" Bang Rama circled around me as if to make sure of something.
"What question is that? Mom said I should welcome Citra who is coming to this house. I have and purposely prepared delicious food. And you are willing to take the time to send fruits to the guests you have invited without my knowledge. I think it's a special night for both of you. So, there's no harm if I welcome Citra, right?"
I try to be calm and ordinary. In fact, this heart felt sliced because my husband could openly bring another woman to the house occupied with his wife and child.
"Nothing special. Dinner is on my initiative." Bang Rama took my hand until our fingers were joined together. "Let's go in" he asked without looking at Citra perhaps for a bit.
My mom and I followed our steps. It should be like that. A guest should be able to position himself in people's homes.
"I'm gonna take a shower for a second. If you want you can just start the dinner," Bang Rama told Citra and mother without letting go of our hands. I don't know why bang Rama is acting so sweet like this. Oh, he could have been on purpose so I wouldn't suspect him.
"It's okay, Mom. I will not be bored waiting for Mas Rama," replied Citra. His eyes took turns looking at me and bang Rama.
I can feel Rama's hands start to sweat cold. Things always happen when my husband is nervous.
"Bag a shower. I've got clothes ready in the usual place." Unexpectedly Bang Rama immediately pulled my hand until we entered the room.
"Why are you suddenly looking like this?" bang Rama asked as he cornered my back behind the tightly shut door. His thumb stroked my cheek very gently.
"Didn't I just explain, Bang? I don't want my shabby looks and my daily negligee to make my brother shy. Wh why? Do I look pretty?"
Bang Rama brought his face closer to our face with almost no distance. In fact, I can feel his breath.
"Beautiful ... very beautiful," she praised right in my face. Her lips almost stuck to my lips.
"Bet a shower first." I pushed Rama's chest a little away from me. "I want to see Susan for a minute."
Really, I don't feel like kissing my own husband. Until I chose to leave the man alone.
My house is only one floor. However, it is quite spacious and the room is also closed. It seems like today my ears are so sharp that I can hear mother and Citra's chatter sounding like they are whispering.
"If you can choose, mother wants you to be mother's daughter-in-law. Not a wasteful woman like Rima who is nothing compared to you." My father-in-law is a hobby to compare me with others.
"I also want to be your daughter-in-law. But, that is not possible because Rima will not be willing to be combined," replied Citra.
"You don't worry. Later Rama persuades her to divorce Rima."
I who was currently hiding behind a thin wooden wall trembled at their chatter. I can't believe she wanted to see her son's household destroyed.
I deliberately calmed myself down in Susan's room. My little girl seemed cool reading the storybook you had bought at the bookstore.
"Susan, later you don't leave the room before mom comes, yes," I said as calmly as possible so Susan didn't know that I was holding back her upset and hurt.
Susan's innocence can always cheer me up. I don't want his parents to ruin this kid's mentality.
"Make Susan tired of the streets in the mall, later mom bring her dinner to the room, yes."
"Susan is still full, Mom. I ate a lot" he replied again.
My attention was drawn to the superficial shadows I saw from the window of the room. The position of Susan sitting on her back to the window made the child unaware.
"Mom closed the window for a second, yeah. You read it, honey."
The curiosity made me secretly peek to ascertain who was out there. My eyes were half squeaking peeking at the window blemish until I was fixated on seeing something that managed to burn my chest.
Bang Rama making out with Citra in the garden behind the house. Really, I want to throw up right now.
"Susan, you wait here for a moment. Remember mom's message to stay here."
"Yes, Mom. Susan wants to read a book. Later if laper susan asked for mother."
Sorry, Son. I have to keep you in this room. I stroked Susan's hair and kissed her cheek before she left.
The house looks lonely, I don't know where you're going. The door facing the back garden was locked. It's worth it they're going through Susan's room.
I crept around like a thief hoping mom, Citra and bang Rama don't see me. The darkness of the night that was only illuminated by the lights of the garden facilitated my plan. I slowly hid behind a tree not far from Citra and bang Rama.
"Don't do that here, how about Rima see you kissing me like that?"
"not me! We also enjoyed our kisses."
"Citra ..this is not the right time for us to make out. We better go back home. I'm afraid Rima saw us here."
"Why does it seem like I'm so scared? Has he changed his mind? Did Mas undo the intention of divorce from Rima? Have we forgotten what we did?"
"Citra, understand. I'm still looking for the right time to take care of this parting. And all that time I asked you not to. Don't let Rima sniff our relationship."
"I don't care. I want Rima to know that I'm not just a guest in this house. I also deserve to be here to be Mas's wife!"
"Don't right now, I'm not ready right yet."
"Why, Mas? Did the beauty that your wife just showed you make Mas's heart waver? Do I have to remind you that we slept in Leon's room that night? Do I have to take off my clothes to make sure I'm more everything than Rima?"
The deg!!!!
What I heard just now was like a hard and precise blow to my heart. It feels like it's dropping to the ankle. It's true that my guess is that the contraceptive I saw belonged to my ex-husband with another woman.
Enough is! I can't stay here. I exhaled repeatedly to keep my heart calm and tears did not spill in front of the two trash. I erased the clear grain that had escaped on the cheek so that I did not look pathetic. Then I came out of hiding.
"You two are disgusting!"
