The Boss' Wife
Ch - 34 Past

8 years ago.

I and Abang Doni have been dating for almost two years, sitting in the park seat of the city square a meter away we did. I am the type of woman whose guard is very strong, let alone held, walk if it can be many meters.

Doni's brother also knew about it, we who also rarely met in the involvement of Abang Doni work as a security and I went to college to live in a dormitory with strict guard.

During that time my brother and I dated only via phone and video call, with Bang Doni trying to save up to marry me after graduating from college.

As a result of my parents' accident, Abang Doni postponed it for quite a while about five months after graduation.

"Honey, there's a lot of money in the canister. Tomorrow you want to go to your bedroom?" he said shyly to me, finally our love journey will be taken to a more serious level.

"Yes, Bang." I agree.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Bang Doni came home, dressed neatly and dashingly, that standard face could captivate my heart as deep as the ocean.

"Waalaikumussalam." replied the family who had been present waiting for the arrival of Bang Doni, after I told him that he would come to propose.

"Come in, brother." I said embarrassedly, with a heart that swayed hebo in there. These are the moments that I look forward to as a lover, leaving everything to the puja, when after the marriage contract takes place later. Everything I've kept up all this time by tying up a sacred, romantic promise my mind drifted to the end there.

Brother Doni sat on the blue carpet that has been prepared by relatives.

"Uwa, Aunty, Yayu, Uncle. Brother Doni came here to propose to me." said I who was sitting next to Abang Doni. During this time our distance was one meter, this was the first time it was close to only fifty centimeters.

"Can't be Zahra." Bi Rosida's loud voice refused outright, against the good intentions of Abang Doni.

"Why Bi?" ask Brother Doni.

"Zahra just graduated from Doni's college, work first, try his own salary." replied Bi Nur.

"True Nak Doni, we want Zahra to have her own grip" Uwa Sani said.

"Yes Zahra, don't be like Yayu after school. It became this way, the husband was taken by actors." said Yayu Dina blatantly insinuating Abang Doni was afraid of him just like his ex-husband used to be.

Doni's brother saw me. "The truth is Zah, what Bibi, Uwa and Yayu said." he gave in front of my family, so that in the eyes of obedience and in the category of a good husband in the future.

He always forced me to get married.

"Yes Bang." I replied following the directions, so that this goodwill goes well.

1 year passed.

Working in a clinic near home, earning five hundred thousand a month, was enough for me to prove this to my hard work. My savings are a lot from the movie. Guenya just did not tell them, that I also work as a writer in a famous company.

They were first against my ideals, it was enough me and my friends who know.

Brother Doni finally came back with a wait of three years, back himself came.

"I came back, to marry Zahra" Bang Doni said nervously.

"No way." Bi Rosida refused.

I was surprised, the feeling yesterday-yesterday they allowed why now refuse again? What do they want? I was twenty-one years old, enough to get married.

"Why, Bi?" I directly asked.

"Zahra you do not deserve the same marriage that is not equal to you" said scathing Bi Nur.

"At least Zahra, if the marriage health person is the same as peanuts (Police) or green beans (TNI)." said Bi Rosida blatantly without thinking about Bang Doni's feelings.

"Where's wrong, Bi?" still confused by their primitive thoughts.

"I understand Ra, I better go home" said Bang Doni standing with a helpless lethargic face. "Then I say goodbye to Uwa, Bi." His permission to go home without saying anything more to me.

"I mean, what are you guys?" ask me after Bang Doni came home.

"Your Zahra should be self-aware, with your current status" Bi Rosida said.

"Bi status to me is important, but faithful, Bi." I explained.

"Quite Zahra, we all from the beginning did not agree with your girlfriend" shouted Bi Nur, who apparently disagreed with Abang Doni.

"Why, Bi? Problem where? We can find money but the human heart is hard." I ask.

"Stop Zahra's! If you're still with the mind you're married to Doni. Look what we did to her." Bi Rosida threatened.

I was silent, holding tightness in my chest. Tega you guys, same me.

Two days later Abang Doni invited me to meet at the usual town square.

"Ra, it's enough to get here that we're together" he asked to separate.

"But Bang, we can try first." seduced Abang Doni not to give up easily.

"My wait has been too long Ra, it's free that we are together but there are no bright spots for us to blend in with each other." explained Bang Doni with teary eyes. "Better you search according to your family's wishes." establishment. "Excuse me, it's enough to get here on our relationship." It left me alone.

"Abang.." call me up.

Doni's brother stopped without seeing me. "Waiting, there is no certainty that it is better to separate, I gave up Ra, plus the work that is considered halal became the subject of demand, I resigned. Enough to get here no longer chasing and hoping." Bang Doni went after saying.

With a body that stays in place, wants to scream but can't, my family really gets in the way.

5 Years passed.

With all the effort I made to get Bang Doni's love and family blessing remains in vain. Seeing Bang Doni changing partners on his social media made me believe he still loves me, with Bang Doni's job status turned into peanuts, with pride I waited long enough always contact Bang Doni although never in response back.

A few days passed, Bang Doni sent an invitation paper that he sent by post, I was so devastated when it also received an invitation with his name and the name of another woman.

Go home with a weak, helpless body.

"Ra, what's wrong with you?" Yayu Zainisa asked holding my shoulder with my red eyes to cry when I saw the invitation I received.

"What's up, Zah?" ask Bi Maryam.

The big family who turned out to have eaten together, saw me.

"Did Doni do something to you?" ask Bi Rosida.

"Enough everything, no more talking. Because of you Bang Doni is married to someone else." I snapped I threw the invitation paper.

"Thank God, the soul mate has come." said Bi Nur happily.

"You guys are happy, look at me like this, remember! From this moment on, I'm Zahra Aneska will never be married for life, let you say old girl, what matters is I'm happy." My anger overflows, into the room, into the room, with a completely unanimous decision, the excruciating heartache made me plunge to the bottom of the deepest ocean.

Seriate...
