Replying to the Betrayal of my Husband
Job Search

7

I don't know what Citra and Bang Rama are thinking right now. I don't care if they realize I suspect them. Although this heart hurts, I don't want to look weak in the face of Citra. Wait until I can bring this back.

"Then, bang Rama often eat my cooking. And this is for the first time in a long time. Sorry, yes I used the kitchen," Citra said.

I didn't mind the food that Citra had cooked. While mom looks so bad. Bang Rama also began to enjoy without any intention of chiming in my words. Yeah, they look like real families.

"I'm leaving, Bang," I said goodbye to the man who made me doubt.

"You looking for work?" bang Rama asked, the look on his face did not mind but seemed to doubt me.

"Yes, Susan, I left it at Brother Eli's house."

"It's up to you to keep looking for a job. Good luck, Rima. Let's not be a burden in this house."

Mother's words felt pierced into the recesses of the heart, I do not know what my lack was until mother increasingly disliked me. In fact, Citra is more liked than me. Maybe, I hope to have a tattoo that has a lot of money like Citra.

"Your husband cheated?" Brother Eli does not believe in hearing my story about the alleged affair bang Rama with Citra. I'm in the house of Brother Eli. The only siblings I have.

"Yes, Brother. I'm sure they've been playing crazy behind my back. Unfortunately, I have no hard evidence. Fearfully, the contraceptive does have Leon. That's why I'm desperate to find work so that I can be independent and have preparation if someday something bad happens to our household."

I think my body is very weak. Divorce has never been in the dictionary of my life in all this time. But, I will never be able to accept being betrayed by the person I love.

"I don't expect that to be true. Pity Susan to know her father had another woman. Never mind, you focus on finding work let Susan be the big sister."

I'm still lucky to have Eli's brother who's always willing to listen to my grievances. After leaving Susan at Brother Eli's house, I rushed to my motorcycle to find work. Packed with diplomas and work experience when I was the girl I had I was desperate to find luck.

Brake!!!!

"Astagfirullah...."

My messed up thoughts made me unable to focus on driving. Without me realizing I had been at a red light and hit the car that had just stopped in front of me. I even fell on this hot asphalt.

"Can you bring a motorcycle?" ask a man who just got out of the car. "Oh, the hood is until it ringsek like this."

"Sorry, Sir. I was not intentional."

I grimaced at the pain in my foot that hit my own motor. A man in a black shirt who came from where to help move my bike until I could stand up straight again.

"You're all right? Better to pull over first. Your feet are bleeding" said the tall man, almost like a Rama bang.

"It's okay, sir. Thanks for helping, "I said as I grimaced in pain.

"Jo, get me a P3k box in the car" he told the man who had reprimanded me. The man immediately rushed away.

"Here you go, just clean your wounds" he said, handing over the p3k box he had just received. Then the man left without a chance to thank him.

I moved from one place to another. I don't care about the pain in this leg. I don't mind the sun's heat stinging overhead. Until 2 pm I kept trying to find a place that would accept me.

"His job is closed. You're very late" said a beautiful woman as I spoke of my intentions to one of the city's largest property companies.

"Please, Ma'am. This one time. I have a diploma and work experience."

"It can't be, ma'am. We can't break the rules for you. You better find somewhere else."

I was getting tired and weak. I even feel like I want to cry. However, the innuendo of the mother-in-law, Rama's bang and Citra's face forced me to stay strong. Yes, I cannot be weak. I'll prove to them that I can stand on my feet.

"So, really no chance for me, Mommy?" ask me one more time. Wishing this woman to accept me and accept me.

The woman did not reply, she seemed silent as someone whispered in her ear. Inevitably I turned around and was ready to leave disappointed.

"Wait!" call me. "Can you see the file you brought?"

It was like getting a fresh wind. I'll give him what he asks for.

"It turns out, the boss is watching us from the CCTV. And he asked Mama into his room."

"Seriously, Ma'am?" Instantly my face that had started to moody immediately sparkled again.

The woman took me to their boss's room. I hope today is a lucky day for me. The elevator stopped on the 6th floor.

"Have you ever met Dimas?"

I frowned confusedly, my mind trying to remember the name Dimas.

"Not yet."

The woman seemed to be nodding but I saw her face as if she doubted me. We were in front of a black door that was still tightly closed.

"Come in, Mr. Dimas is waiting" he asked after opening the door.

I followed him from behind, this room was very spacious and neatly arranged. A whole new lifetime this time I can get into the big boss's room. What was my dream last night?

"This is what you asked for."

The woman's voice resuscitated me if we had been right in front of the man. My eyes were wide open looking at who the person in front was. He's the guy who helped me, the guy who gave me the p3k box. The guy whose car I hit!
