The Beginning of the Catastrophe
EARLY LIPSTICK PATCHES BAB3

Aji gulped with difficulty when she saw Kirana holding her phone. His face paled with cold sweat started to wet his forehead.

Kirana smiled faintly and passed to the dressing table to pick up the tissue. Then, step closer to the husband and wipe his sweat.

“It's still morning, you know, Mas. Is that hot as the weather is right now?”

“I-iya, The.”

After wiping off the sweat, Kirana handed the phone to the chest of her husband's field.

“Mas definitely came back just for this, right?”

“I-iya, The.” Kirana smiled faintly. Then, playing her index finger to the chest of her husband's field formed a circle. Afterwards, he stared fixedly at the man in front of him.

“Mas is now forgetful, huh? Not only our special day, even the phone which is a very important object was forgotten.”

Aji boughtak heard his wife's words. Spontaneously, he turned his head and was surprised to see a circle on the calendar. Then, he returned his gaze to his wife.

“Im sorry Mas, Yang. I completely forgot that yesterday was my anniversary. How about we get it now.”

A faint smile was still on Kirana's red lips. She looked down before she moved away from her husband. She crossed her arms and let out a long sigh before twisting her heels and facing her husband.

“Don't I have a meeting this morning? Did you forget too?”

“Ah, yes. I almost forgot. Then we'll be dinner tonight. Mas promise to go home quickly.”

“Go, Mas. Client Mas must have been waiting since earlier.”

Aji eroded the distance and was about to pin a kiss on Kirana's forehead. However, the woman chose to retreat a moment and held the husband's chest with her palm.

“Urusan Mas is more important, right? It's best to hurry.”

Aji nodded weakly and turned around. However, his steps came to a halt when he heard his wife's words.

“So someone called and I'm sorry I had to answer, Mas. If you don't hear wrong, her voice is female.”

Aji again gulped with great difficulty. He set his breath due to the rumbling in his chest that was about to explode. Then, pull the corner of his lips before turning to look at the wife. However, no time to open the word, Kirana spoke first.

“Women are now very familiar, yes, Mas. Unknown time, call it ‘Mas’. Where her voice is soft. I became cu—“

“Mas can describe, Which. I-it ... it ...”

Kirana enjoys the panic that emanates from Aji's face. In her heart she wanted to laugh loudly because she had accidentally exposed a little cheating by her husband. That's when Aji's phone rings. The man is still shaking. Meanwhile, Kirana increasingly enjoys her husband's immortality.

“Why not lift, Mas? Who knows about the woman, right?”

“Client Mas, right?”

Kirana erodes the distance and puts both hands around her husband's neck. Then, kiss Aji's lips briefly before looking at her irises.

“Go, Mas! Client Mas must have been waiting for.”

Unknowingly Aji heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately kissed Kirana's cheek before stepping away. However, arriving at the doorway of the room, he turned around and looked at his wife.

“Mas promise to go home quickly tonight, Yang.”

After that, Aji again stretched the distance. Then, the sound of the roar of the car slowly left the house. Without the man noticing, Kirana grinned while clenching her hands.

“Do not easily promise, Mas. Because I don't like people who are easy to say a promise and easy to deny it.”

Kirana immediately grabbed the car keys and ran towards the garage. In a hurry, she got into the car and drove her to follow her husband. He nailed a glance at the white car that was in front of him. His hand gripped tightly at the steering wheel until his knuckles paled.

Kirana continues to follow Aji's car. However, she frowned in surprise when she saw her husband enter an elite residential area. The woman was further squeezed when Aji's car stopped at one of the white-fenced houses.

Kirana was still flinching in the car while watching her husband. He held his breath for a moment as Aji got out of the car and was immediately greeted by the warm embrace of a small child. Her heart was squeezed when a woman came and kissed her husband's left cheek. Suddenly Kirana's eyes warmed up, then her tears crept down her cheeks.

“So this is what you hid from me, Mas. How you betrayed me!”

Kirana hit the steering wheel repeatedly before drowning her head between her hands. His shoulders shook violently with the tightness that was squeezing. Then, the phone voice distracts her.

Kirana wiped her tears rough before reaching into the phone and reading the name of the friend on the screen.

“What's up, Mel?”

“Lo where is it? There are new customers, nih.”

“I'll be there soon.”

“Lo is nothing, right? Kok, lo kayak abis nangis.”

“I’m fine, Mel. I'm maturing the phone, huh?”

Phone disconnected. Kirana stared once again at the house where Aji parked her car. He snorted in annoyance before turning the car around and drove towards his clinic. During the journey, his mind raged. The betrayal that the husband did in front of his eyes kept flashing in his head.

Kirana repeatedly wiped away her tears, but repeatedly the clear hair was shed. He several times pulled over the car just to catch his breath and his head kept throbbing. The woman closed her eyes while sleepily tapping her head on the back of the chair. However, instead of getting away, the pain deepened.

Kirana massaged her temple slowly, but her vision suddenly blurred. He still had time to pick up a cell phone to contact his best friend. However, having yet to open the word, he was already drowning in darkness.
