THE CHOICE IN MY LIFE
SECTION 31
“Ma . . Why hasn't Mas Gilang come home yet, huh?” Tia was worried because her husband until midnight had not come home either.
“You've called, Gilang?” mama Ratna answered who had just come out of the kitchen to get some water.
“Already, Ma. But Gilang's mas number is off. Tia was worried. Tia scared if . .”
“Maybe Gilang is overtime. Already, the husband works even mind that is not. So the wife who understands the same husband. Mama go back to room.” Mama Ratna left Tia who was still pacing in front of the family room.
He was constantly watching the wall clock and the front door. I hope her husband will come soon. The clock was already showing midnight, but the figure he loved did not appear either. Many times Tia kept trying to call Gilang number, but always not connected.
“Where are you, Mas? Why can't be contacted.” Tia was agitated because Gilang had never disappeared like this.
Tia lay on the sofa and waited for her husband anxiously. Tia tried to close her eyes to think about where her husband might be, and what he was doing. Various bad thoughts had crossed her mind, especially recently there was a figure who often disturbed her because many became the subject of her husband's conversation. Although her husband only tells about their daily work, but lately Gilang often smiles when talking about Dera. And Tia realized that her smile had a special meaning.
When Tia opened her eyes, her body was already under the blanket in her room. “Mas? What time is it?” tia asked when she realized she had woken up on her bed. The beautiful woman tried to open her eyes because of the drowsiness that was still attacking.
“It's six in the morning, baby.” Gilang approached Tia. “Why don't you sleep in the room?”
“I'm waiting for you, Mas. What time are you home?”
“A lot of work I have to finish. Sorry for not being able to tell you.”
Tia clasped her husband's hands together, “Don't do it again, Mas. As busy as anything if there is a very urgent please contact me. I'm very worried because your number can't be reached.”
“Iya, forgive me.” Gilang peeked at his wife's forehead. “I take a shower first, yes. I have to get ready for the office again.”
“Mas Kilang overtime with Dera too?” tia asked curiously. She was silent on the bathroom door because of Tia's sudden question. Never did Tia ask who she was overtime other than herself who told her.
“Emm . . . i.” Gilang's face was suddenly anxious and his tone was wavering. “I was overtime with some other employees. Because it's a big project so we helped to finish this project quickly. What's the matter, Tia? Why are you suddenly asking?” look at Gilang who is worried.
Tia felt something strange about her husband's attitude. He quickly grabbed his phone lying on the nightstand. He definitely dialed Cindy's number to ask her something that was currently suspicious.
“Hallo, Tia?” answer Cindy from across the street.
“Cind, there's something I need to ask you. Can we meet this afternoon?”
“Of course, darling. Where do we meet today?”
“We meet at ‘Cafe R’ only. I'll let you know if I'm already there.” Answer Tia.
“You all right, Tia? Why is your voice like someone who wants to cry?” ask Cindy to worry.
“I'm fine. Don'worry. I hung up on him. Bye Cindy.” After getting a reply from her best friend, Tia put her phone back on the nightstand. And just act normal when Gilang is out of the bathroom.
“I want today to meet Cindy, Mas.” Tia told her husband.
“Why? What are you guys going to talk about?” Suddenly nervous in front of his wife.
“What's up, Mas? Why is your attitude so strange this morning? Why are you suddenly asking that? I didn't meet Cindy for the first time. Have you made a mistake?” tia asked with a voice made as calm as possible.
“Not . . . No. Of course not. I was just wondering what you would talk about if you met. I'm just afraid you're getting carried away by some bad influence from Cindy.”
“Cindy my friend, Mas. And you know what my personality is even though I'm friends with him. At least I am not someone who can betray my husband or my own best friend.”
Glazed over hearing the sentence he had just heard from his wife's mouth. A mouth that never suspected anything about him but suddenly today his wife became more sensitive. Gilang was worried that he would be caught if he had betrayed someone who was currently in front of him.
Tia got up from her bed and approached Gilang. Helping to wear a tie and suit that her husband would wear to the office. “Be careful on the road, Mas. I'm faithfully waiting for you at home.” Said Tia with her most beautiful smile.
