THE ACCUSED'S WIFE WAS NOT IN CHARGE OF FINANCES
13. The New Wound

Wendi looked at Caca hatefully. His hands were clenched to beat the woman all out, but he still had a little awareness so as not to do so. As an impingement, he punched the wall of the wall making his hand bleed.

Wendi had ascertained how Sari's response was to see the incident earlier. Even anyone will think a no-no when finding a husband is alone with other women in the house.

"It's all because of you. Go right now!" snarled Wendi hard.

Caca was terrified to see Wendi's anger. He slowly moved and immediately got out of the house.

After Caca left, Wendi approached Sari who was still standing. He was about to grab his wife's hand but Sari quickly snapped his hand.

"I'll explain it to you" said Wendi.

"What would you like to explain? Everything is clear. I go home and hope our relationship can be as good as it used to be but what do I get? You even add a new wound on top of an old wound that has almost healed" said Sari with tears.

"What you saw was just a coincidence. I didn't do anything bad. Trust me, in this heart there is only you" Wendi said expectantly.

"Mas said he didn't do anything with that woman, this dump plate truck? Looks like it was planned to eat together, mumpung wife has not come home. My heart hurts, this heart hurts!" Sari ran to the room and cried sadly.

Tasya and her sister just entered the house so that they did not see any commotion. The hero slammed into his papa's arms. Nearly two weeks apart made him very homesick.

"Who was it that came out of the house when we just came?" tiara asked curiously. He saw the woman when he got out of the house.

"Oh, that woman is nobody. It was just the seller who came to deliver the food" Wendi explained.

"But how did he get into the house?" tiara asked again inquisitively making her papa confused about what to answer.

"Please take the bag that's still outside!" pinta Sari to Tiara. Tiara immediately ran to the porch of the house to pick up the bag meant by her mother. Meanwhile Wendi breathed a sigh of relief as she had already missed Tiara's question. Of her three children, Tiara was the most active and always wanted to know a lot about anything.

With all his might Tiara tore the rather large bag and brought it before her mother.

"Kok, Mama's crying?" tiara asked after sitting next to her mother. He watched his mother's face carefully and he saw her eyes still shed tears.

"It's okay. Mama was flickering," replied Sari lying.

"Hhhmmm, Tiara knows now.It must be because of the woman," said Tiara guessed.

Wendi who was still sitting on the sofa heard Tiara's words clearly. Now he is very confused about his home. He lethargicly moved from his seat to the garden behind the house. He picked some ripe tomatoes and did not forget to also pick spinach vegetables and took it to the kitchen.

At night when Wendi and Sari were already in the room, he tried to dilute the atmosphere by asking about the condition of the parents in Makassar. Sari only answered as necessary with a flat look.

"Before Mas apologized with the incident last afternoon," said Wendi slowly.

"There's nothing to forgive, Mom!" said Sari with a hoarse voice.

Wendi's heart was very messed up with Sari's attitude which seemed unwilling to make up with her. He began telling the truth about his encounter with Caca and what reasons made her come to his house. Not to forget also Wendi explained why he had the body of Caca earlier. But Wendi did not say that Caca was his ex-girlfriend.

"Now I have told what it is without adding and subtracting a bit. So it's up to you, believe it or not. I won't force you!" wendi said seriously. He then laid his body on the bed and took a breath and exhaled slowly.

Sari did not comment on the explanation from her husband. His heart was already sick and disappointed and even shattered into pieces. What was missed while still in Makassar is now gone. Every time she recalled the incident earlier this afternoon where her husband was being embraced by a very sexy woman, her tears flowed back.

Although Wendi had already made it clear that between them there was nothing to do but Sari was unsure as what she saw and witnessed was evidence for her to suspect her husband. Two weeks away from home and home was greeted with a very painful sight.

If it's true that the woman is just a food seller, then why go into the house and eat together. Not only that, the two hugged making Sari sure that her husband had misled and betrayed her.

Sari slept while turning her back on her sumi. Until midnight he could not close his eyes. Fortunately, because there were still two days he could use to rest before returning to teach at school.

Maybe because last night he was very difficult to sleep so this morning wake up bad luck. He was surprised when he arrived at the kitchen because the children were almost finished with breakfast.

"Come, breakfast Ma. Papa's cooking is so good!" take Tiara with spirit.

"Yes Ma, I've already added!" said Wira while chewing the food in her mouth.

"Oh yeah," said Sari trying to look happy in front of her children, let alone they are praising her papa's ability to make food this morning.

Sari circulated her gaze but she did not see her husband's whereabouts. Today is Saturday, which means Wendi is not in the office either.

After breakfast, he immediately went to the rice field without saying goodbye to anyone. Today, the tractor is going down in the paddy field and he has to keep an eye on the job.

Sari tried to taste her husband's cooking and it was true that the food tasted really good. In her heart Sari thought that her husband was doing all this to make amends.

Only two mouthfuls managed to get into his throat. His memory was again disturbed by yesterday's incident making his throat feel suffocated. He sat pensively at the dining table with his eyes beginning to glaze over. But he immediately wiped it because he heard Tasya's voice calling him.

Tasya was looking for school clothes he bought in Makassar. This year he will go to First High School. All school supplies have been prepared by his mother and stored in a cardboard box. That is why Tasya did not see him so he called his mother.
