The Fruit of the Affair
Chapter 1

A man wearing a watch looked at a woman sitting languidly on the edge of the mattress. Rudi Jaelani, the 31-year-old, sighed. "All will be well if you keep quiet and smile" he said.

Nanda Amelia, 25, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, walked up to her husband in front of the mirror. "Silence and a smile always make my heart burn, Mas. You, can't you defend me a little? I don't want this, why can't you defend me?" she asked while looking at her handsome husband. The blue batik shirt of the prophet fits perfectly with the man's whites.

"The more I defend you, the more cornered you will be. Silence is better. We are wrong in this matter." Rudi patted his wife's shoulder, then kissed her beloved woman's forehead. "Let's get out" she asked.

"Mas go first."

Rudi nodded and walked away. Nanda sighed. He clenched his hands so as not to cry. Her heart ached when faced with a family meeting like this because the topic to be taken to talk was why she was not yet pregnant.

"We are wrong in this matter? Is being barren my fault? It's destiny" he said in a dialogue with his reflection in the mirror.

Nanda walked down the stairs. Right at the bottom of the stairs, the woman stopped and looked at the people who were pretty much sitting on the sofa. There were also a few small children running around here and there. This is her husband's family's monthly collection made for show.

Rudi three brothers. He's the last kid. Both parents are still complete even though they are old, and their families are all rich.

"Nanda, here, what's going on there" call Sani, the family's first daughter-in-law. A Dentist. Her husband is named Danu.

"Yes, Brother." Nanda walked towards the sofa, sat on a single sofa, deliberately avoiding sitting crammed because it would feel tight and could not dwell if the discussion about children began.

"You're getting prettier, too" said Sani, praising Nanda, who won, as beautiful. The woman's hair was straight, shoulder-length, with her average height and plump body, filled with.

"Favor, Brother."

"Well, he hasn't unloaded, so he's still dating" said Rika, the Jaelani family's second daughter-in-law. Her husband is named Radit. "But, look at me, even though I gave birth three times, I still look beautiful and fashionable really. Basically, the money that makes up the body" he said arrogantly.

Nanda nodded. She just smiled and kept quiet, as her husband suggested. Husband, later staring around and did not find the whereabouts of her husband. "Where's Mas Rudi going?" tanyakanya.

"On the terrace. Again receive a call from the second wife candidate," said Rika who immediately got a reprimand from Sania and Nanda chose to ignore, stand up and go to her husband.

Nanda arrived at the terrace. She saw her husband sitting on the sofa and looked to be talking seriously as he stroked his temple. Nanda who wanted to approach undo the intention upon hearing,

"After this I'll be there, honey."

The deg!

Honey, the call aimed at someone across there made Nanda startled. Not only that he immediately felt wondering who, why was called dear, what their relationship was.

"Yes, I'll stay the night."

Nanda took a step back. His heart immediately beat. Her husband called 'Honey' to stay over, her husband ....

"Bye, hon. I'll see you later."

Rudi joined his family. However, not finding Nanda made him ask if his wife had not come down?

"Your wife has come here, but to the room again" said Sukma, Rudi's mother, Danu and Radit.

"You're talking about a child?" ask Rudi while sitting on the single sofa.

"No. He went straight to the room" Rika said.

Rudi sighed. "If there is one, do not discuss the issue of pregnancy and child. Poor him."

"Aren't you interested in finding a new wife? If you want, big brother many acquaintances," said Rika. He felt kasian with Rudi who could not have children because his wife was sentenced to be barren.

All the families are silent. Although there are some people who are kasian with the fate of Nanda, but it is undeniable that the more kasian is Rudi.

"I love him so much" said Rudi.

"Your love cannot produce children. Stay with him, Rud. Don't be stupid just for love. You know, the offspring is very important for our family," said Rika. Although the role is only son-in-law, but the woman's speech is justified by all family members.

Nanda wiped her tears. It's been two months that she's survived in her chaotic household because of a third person. Even this was already the umpteenth shirt that he found there were traces of lipstick and the smell of other women's perfumes. She who was so afraid of being left behind by her husband could only cry in silence, but this time she would try to make changes to herself because she felt this situation was unfair to her.

Nanda and Rudi got married 18 months ago because they love each other and feel good. Every month Rudi always told Nanda to take a pregnancy test, but it was always negative. Five months of their marriage was still safe and comfortable, but the sixth month of the marriage, the extended family began to get impatient with the new members in their family. One year of marriage, Nanda and Rudi consulted a doctor and did a series of checks and the results were surprising. Nanda mandul's.

Since then, Rudi's attitude has changed. The man has not touched his wife for a whole month, after touching only two to three times a month and the last two months, the man returned not to touch his wife at all after being in love with a woman. The treatment is good, gentle and unfortunately also disappears with time changing treatment.

Nanda, who was afraid of being left behind because he loved his wife too much, was initially silent, but he felt his own pain and it made him determined to change the situation. The fear of her husband leaving she pressed. Prefer to keep his own feelings rather than his own heartache.

Nanda went to the room, approached her husband. Seeing that the man was lying down while playing on a mobile phone, Nanda whose emotions immediately threw the shirt right into her husband's face.

Rudi pulled the shirt, he sat down and stared intently at Nanda. "What the fuck?" tanyakanya.

Nanda smiled wryly. "You're nothing, Mom. I thought I was silent, you're gonna end your madness, it's getting worse."

Nanda was silent all this time besides fearing being left behind, she thought her husband was only a little khilaf, playing briefly with women out there just to treat the disappointment of being barren, because he was barren, thinking the madness was about to end because her husband loved her so much, it was wrong.

"What mak-"

"Look at that lipstick stain. I didn't get it once. Please stop it or I'll stop and you'll regret it, Mas!" Nanda screamed hysterically, then left the room.

Rudi stared at the lipstick stain and snorted. Too engrossed in cheating and thought his wife did not know, he ignored the slightest thing. The man stared at the door, staring. Questioning since when did his wife realize his affair?
