Sharing Love: TWO RINGS
Danu's Mistake

“Where are you, new clock home?” Danu spoke in a cold tone.

“Assalamualaikum.” Ayu said a greeting and was about to crucify Danu, but the man brushed his hand away.

Ayu paled her breath.

Why else now?

“I overtime, Mas. Coincidentally there is a meeting with an important client for the latest project.”

“We are sure?”

“Means, Mas?”

“Important client or eat together cheating?”

Ayu was surprised by her husband's words. Danu who saw the change in his wife's facial expression smiled lightly.

“Why? You are shocked, Mas can tell that you are walking with another man.”

Ayu is not surprised because what her husband is talking about is true, but Ayu is surprised to have accused her of having an affair.

“Check meet with clients, after which we dined together. Nothing else, mas Danu misunderstood.” he explained to Danu, Ayu tried to resist his disappointment and emotions.

“Meet an important client or because it is too fun to chat with your affair? Until your phone is not active.”

“Mas!”

“Since when did you dare to raise your voice.” With a dull tone.

“Sorry, but I don't accept that you accuse me. I really don't—”

“It's enough!”

Danu moved from the sofa to her room.

Brak!

The sound of a door slam was heard as Danu entered his study. While Ayu only wheezed her breathing heavily.

Without both of them noticing, there was a pair of eyes that were enjoying the scenery in it while grinning.

“Yes, successfully.”

Rika smiled triumphantly.

It was he, who made Danu have such prejudice against Ayu.

When Rika goes shopping at the mall together with someone, she accidentally sees Ayu with a very handsome man.

The two looked familiar and threw jokes at each other, to laugh happily. Rika hates that.

He hated seeing Ayu as such, so he secretly observed the two and took pictures using his cell phone.

After that he kept the photo to be told to Danu later.

And voila!

He managed to get the two into a big fight.

“Ah, tonight my dream will definitely be very beautiful.”

...***...

This morning when Ayu woke up from her sleep, she did not find Danu by her side. It was as if the man had indeed not returned to sleep by his side last night.

What did Ayu expect? Since her husband's second marriage, Ayu has always tried to stick with everything. In addition to the gaping wound, he also felt the distance between Danu and himself growing further and further.

Once upon a time, before going to bed they both would tell each other about various things that they had gone through all day. Sometimes it ends with laughter or something more ‘panas’. When you wake up in the morning you will throw a smile and a good morning kiss.

Enjoy breakfast with pleasure both or spend the weekend as it is today by taking a walk. But that was before her husband's second marriage and the presence of the woman in this house.

Let alone the good morning or spend time together, every day in Ayu's head there will always be a question “with whom she spends her time today or tonight? With me or with that woman?”

When will that time come back again and until when will she survive this marriage? Again she did not know, Ayu got out of bed to wash her face and brush her teeth. It's morning. The clock on the wall shows at eight in the morning, after going from the bathroom he headed for a walk in closed to change into sports clothes.

A little exercise in the morning does not seem bad, it has been a long time since he did. Drowning in daily activities that are so exhausting.

Upon Ayu's return from jogging, she went straight to the kitchen to grab a drink. Ayu saw the atmosphere of her house looked deserted. It was just him and his assistant.

“Good morning, Madam.”

“Morning, Bi.” his hand took the bread and smeared jam on it. “What Master hasn't woken up?”

“So Mr has gone with Mrs Rika. Earlier Mrs Rika advised Bibi, she said Mr and Mrs Rika would stay for several nights at the Villa in Bogor.”

The wheat bread Ayu held fell on the plate.

Villas in Bogor? Why should it be there? Isn't the villa a wedding present for me.

Does Danu know how much that Villa means to him? The hunger in his stomach changed into a feeling of tightness and pain in his chest.

^^^Rika^^

^^^Mas, I can leave for a while? Coincidentally there was an appointment with friends when they were in college. It's been a while since I've seen her, it just so happens that she's here again before she's out of town tomorrow.^^^

Incoming messages from Rika.

Danus

Yes, you can, need a driver?

^^^Rika^^

^^^No need, ma'am. Later on, you know for yourself that women can talk for a long time. Just got picked up, yeah.^^^

Danus

Yes, be careful.

^^^Rika^^

^^^Thank you my husband ^^^^^

Danu read the last message that came in without any intention of replying. He has been kind to Rika, but has not been able to relax while with Ayu.

Back in the early days of her marriage to Rika, Danu was cold to the woman. However, he realized that it was neither right nor fair to Rika.

Rika is also his wife, though their marriage is done in series. It's just the same right as Ayu.

Danu typed her fingers on the keyboard of her phone. Sending a short message to Ayu.

Danus

Honey, have you eaten? We had lunch together.

Five minutes.

One hour.

Up to an hour Danu waited for a reply from Ayu, but the message was also not opened by him. Danu restored her hair, was it so busy that the message from her was ignored?

Even until the working hours ended, Danu never get a reply from Ayu. Finally he decided to go home without waiting for an answer from his first wife, maybe the woman had already gone home.

Danu was impatient to meet Ayu, she longed to spend time with Ayu at this time.

But once he got home. Danu has not found his first wife there but he tries to be patient and wait. Maybe Ayu's stuck in traffic.

Danu sees the clock on the wall showing ten o'clock at night, but Ayu hasn't shown up yet.

“Mas.” Rika stepped her feet closer to Danu's desk.

“What's up?”

“Em—itu, anu—”

Danu's eye brows lifted next to.

“What's Rika?”

Rika did not speak but offered her mobile phone to Danu. Danu's face hardened to see the photo plastered on Rika's mobile screen.

“Sorry, tad—tadi I saw Ayu same as a man when I made a pact with my friend. At first I thought I saw it wrong, but I mastiin myself and also see them so friendly.”

Danu's hands were increasingly flapping tightly to hear Rika's words.

“Mas, you didn't sleep?”

Danu flinched from her daydream, she turned to the woman lying next to her.

“You sleep first, Mas want to finish the job first for a while.”

“Ih, mas so. It's a weekend, we're on vacation too. Sleep again yuk, I still want to be alone with mas Danu. Anyway it's really cold here.”

“Wear the shirt so it doesn't cool.” Danu confirmed the position of the blanket that was exposed to cover the plain body of the woman next to him.

“The need is the same Mas Danu only.”

Rika's hand caressed Danu's chest that was not wearing any clothes, she intended to flirt with her husband of course because she knew he must be thinking about his first wife who he lived in the house with the housekeeper.

While he and Danu are now on vacation in a villa in Bogor. Rika doesn't want to even give Danu a chance to think about women other than her.

And see, her husband is now captivated by her temptation.

...***...

Since the incident three days ago Danu deliberately keep his distance or even avoid Ayu. When at home, he never sleeps in the room they used to occupy.

Danu sleeps in Rika's room or spends her time in her workspace.

Of course it is used by Rika to deliberately spoiled to Danu and heat Ayu. For Ayu to know, if Danu slowly starts to turn away from her.

Actually Ayu was disappointed because of Danu's attitude that did not believe her, moreover the man brought Rika to the villa that was presented to him. Danu was even indifferent to him now.

However, he could only accept all of that.

“Log.”

“Excuse me Madam, Sir call the Madam to her study now.”

“Thank you, Bi. I'm going to change clothes first yes.”

Bi Ijah nodded his head. “Then, I'll excuse you.”

Ayu nodded her head in a weed.

“Do you still want to discuss about yesterday's events?” Ayu muttered.

He only sighed and hurriedly put on clothes and dried his hair.

After she finished walking out her feet towards Danu's study, when she got there Ayu knocked on her husband's office door.

When he was invited in, he opened the door.

“Mas call me?”

“Ya.” reply Danu briefly.

Apparently Mas Danu was still angry.

When she saw her husband's sour expression.

“Mas, I want to explain what happened yesterday. I apologized in advance for not telling Mas. Ayu's phone left at the office when there was a meeting with the client so I did not reply to messages from Mas, I had time to return to the office to grab the phone that was left behind, so until the return of the night. And after I checked, it turned out that my phone battery ran out, so I did not tell you. I'm not—”

“You should stop working there now.” Danu cut Ayu's words.

Ayu who had been looking down raised her face. “Ya?” she confirmed what her husband said.

“Stop working.”

“Tap—pi, Mas it—”

“Or you choose us divorced” Danu with a cold expression, her hands scoped on the chest.

Ayu was instantly speechless, she was completely shocked to hear Danu's words.

Ayu's tears reminisced in her eyes. Sia can't believe, if Danu says it's that easy to say the word ‘cerai’ just so Ayu stops from her workplace. Is it so hard for Danu to believe it?

“Good.” Ayu said resignedly as she lowered her head, “I'm sorry first yes, tomorrow I will resign from there.”

After saying that Ayu left the room with a giant step towards the room. Moreover, he explained the truth, is not it free? Danu will not believe his words.

Arriving in the room, Ayu spilled tears that she had been holding back. Ayu curled up on the cold floor lamenting her fate, her heart so sore considering all the pain she had felt all along.

Danu's betrayal of their marriage, the scorn of those around him. The sneer of her in-laws and now the word divorce that Danu so easily threw at her. What's next?

Tomorrow he will resign from Raka's office and surely the man will wonder. Why did he suddenly stop working.
