The clock kept turning the clock, as Lin grew tired of waiting, but Alex did not return. He immediately moved from his sitting position, about to get out of the room.
But the door handle suddenly moved, along with Lin who also stopped his steps, he took a few steps back, thinking Alex would enter, but unfortunately this time all was not as he expected.
The bad fate he had imagined for so long had come so quickly, all over Lin's body stifled, seeing a man step inside with a gaze full of sadness, disappointment, and anger.
Yes, Reynald must today face the damning reality, before him the wife stands in inappropriate clothes, in a room that should not be entered by married women.
"Rey .. a-I can explain everything."
Lin looked panicked, he started to think of a way to survive all this. Although there was clearly nothing to refute, Lin's belief was still the same, that Reynald loved and trusted him so much.
Reynald's tears dripped from the corner of his eye, as his gaze caught a reddish mark on the wife's neck. "Is this the loyalty you promised?"
"It's not like that." Lin grabbed the husband's hand and clasped it tightly. "I'm just stuck, I just love you, Rey. Trust me, you know Alex is my best friend, right? We're just being filthy."
"The philaf?" Reynald clucked in disbelief, after everything he saw, Lin was still trying to dodge. So painful, as if the struggle he endured, in vain. "Say, what sleep with another man so many times can a khilaf say?"
Year after year he passed by patiently, swallowing the bitter pill that his own wife hated his younger sister, Aina. He thinks everything can be fixed. But what about betrayal?
Is this time, Reynald will also try to hold back, swallowing all the reality that slowly numbs his heart? He's not that stupid guy.
Reynald pulled his hand from his wife's. "Six years ago, I swore in front of your late father that I would look after you for the rest of my life. I feel like I'm gonna want that promise, today."
"Don't Rey!" Lin sobbed, she hugged her husband tightly. Yes, regret always comes too late, dare to play with fire, means also ready to burn. "I promise I won't repeat this again, give me a chance."
"My biggest regret is, ignoring my precious sister for the sake of keeping you who turns out to be nothing more than a cheap woman peddling her crotch to another man!"
"Shut up!" cry Lin with a loud breath. He stood up and raised his index finger right in front of Reynald's face. "Don't blame me for cheating if you keep thinking about your sister, she's the one who causes us to fight, she's a bitch, a parasite!"
Paak!
One slap landed right on Lin's cheek. For the first time Reynald did so during the wedding. No matter how angry he was, he never used violence, and chose to avoid it.
"You dare slap me?"
"That slap I should have given you a long time ago, I only held back even though you kept on acting. Lin, there's no longer any reason to maintain this unhealthy relationship, I'm tired and I give up."
In the end Reynald realized, there is no point in maintaining a stem of thorny roses, although it looks beautiful but the tighter you hold the durinya will hurt deeper and deeper.
Lin looked panicked again as Reynald turned around to leave the room. "Rey, don't leave me, I love you!"
Reynald did not budge and continued to move out of the room as a witness, when he succumbed to reality and made peace with circumstances he should not have forced.
