Secrets of Marriage
Start Deflating

Suddenly Reno stopped the car on the side of the road, under the light of the golden yellow street lights.

His eyes stared intently at Novia, who was biting her lips at the time, not knowing what to say, if Reno asked her about David.

"Vio, give it to papa!" said David while thrusting his hand towards Vio who had since looked at the picture on the gift given by the reunion committee.

Vio then gave the gift, which had several drawings of the force to Reno. Reno stared at the pictures one by one with barely blinking eyes.

"Yes right, this is David next door! Novia, is it true that the David next door to us was your ex-boyfriend from college?" ask Reno to the point.

"I'm sorry mas, actually .. actually I .... "

"Enough! No need to answer my question, I already know your answer, only I'm disappointed in you, because from the beginning you were never honest with me about who David was!" cut Reno fast.

"Mas, listen to my explanation first, between me and David it's just a past relationship, now Mas Reno knows that me and him both have families!" novia explained.

"But why were you not honest with me in the first place?? What's wrong with you telling me about your past with David, so I don't need to know from anyone else! I'm really disappointed in you!" cetus Reno's.

Novia just fell silent without being able to answer Reno's words, she was indeed wrong.

Reno then drove back, now at an above-average speed, through the streets and a few cars, breaking the silence of the night without saying much.

"Mas Reno, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be dishonest, but I was just scared .. Because it happened by chance, I really didn't know that he was going to be our neighbor!" novia said with eyes that began to glaze over.

While Vio seems to start falling asleep, because the child is tired after a day of activity.

Reno was silent and did not respond to everything Novia said, her eyes focused on the quiet streets before her.

Shortly after, they reached their home

Ma'am Darmi seemed to open the gate, the middle-aged woman frowned, when she saw Reno who got down from the car and went straight inside without looking back.

While Novia tried to hold Vio who had been asleep since earlier in the car.

"Let me pick up Vio, I'll move him to his room!" said Mbak Darmi who immediately took over Vio in a sling Novia.

Darmi's mother, holding Vio, walked to Vio's room, and laid the child on his bed, Novia follows behind him as he also helps to unlock Vio's clothes and replace them with clean clothes.

"That's why Mom? Are you not well?" ask Mbak Darmi.

"Oh, you're fine, just another soy sauce, so maybe he'll go straight to sleep!" answer Novia.

"Oh just pantesan, he just immediately gawked away, but usually he always carried Vio if he got out of the car!" mummified Mbak Darmi.

Novia continued to replace Vio's clothes and slightly wiped the boy's body with a wet towel, as his body felt slightly sticky.

After finishing, Novia came out of Vio's room followed by Mbak Darmi, then she walked into the kitchen, intending to make some warm milk for Reno, because usually if the night Reno always drink warm milk made by Novia.

Mbak Darmi just nodded his head while looking in wonder at Novia, who tonight looks a bit strange, because his face since getting off the car was seen sad.

****

Arriving in the room, Reno is seen lying on her body tilted facing outwards, slowly Novia approached him while thrusting warm milk at her husband.

"Mas Reno, drink the warm milk first, let it taste good!" novia said until she touched her husband's back.

Reno was silent and did not answer Novia's words, not even a hint of trembling.

"I'm sorry Mas, Mas Reno is still angry huh, I'm sorry!" said Novia bowed.

That's all Novia can say to her husband, because she doesn't know what else to do.

Now Reno knows who David's next door neighbor is, but there's still one more secret that Reno doesn't know.

And Novia was trying to bury and close her last secret.

"Mas Reno, don't be like this mas, say something, don't make me feel more guilty, because of this matter!" said Novia again.

"I don't want to drink that warm milk, now go you sleep, I want to sleep too, it's night!" reno said without moving his body, and remained in his original position.

Novia took a deep breath, her chest felt tight, during her marriage to Reno, only this time she felt so gambled, and there was a sense that it was hard to express.

"So, Mas Reno is still mad at me? I've already apologized Mas, fine if Mas Reno won't forgive me, it's okay Mas, good night!" said Novia who then immediately put the warm milk on the table, then she walked out of her room.

After Novia came out of her room, then she closed the door, that was when Novia who was crying as she pleased, while crouching in front of the door of her room.

Everything that was covered finally opened up as well, somehow, the point is now that Reno knows between Novia and David there was once a relationship, even though it was a relationship of the past.

Reno is disappointed in Novia for her dishonesty.

So far between Novia and David like the two people who have never known each other before, but who would have thought, if it turns out Novia and David were once very close people.

With a shaky step, Novia walks into Vio's room, maybe tonight Novia will sleep in Vio's room, all of you to calm her heart and mind which is currently completely chaotic.

Vio seemed to be sleeping soundly with his innocent face that looked adorable.

Slowly Novia lay beside Vio, hugging her child, and her tears spilled.

"I'm sorry Mama Vio, maybe you're not the best mom for Vio, but one thing Vio should know is that you love Vio more than anything in the world!" said Novia while peeping the top of her baby's head.
