The Fruit of the Affair
Chapter 6

Rudi hurried into the house. The man went straight to the room, but did not find his wife. "Nanda, baby," he shouted as he ran out. Get down the stairs quickly, then head for the kitchen. The man breathed a sigh of relief to see his wife eating alone at the dinner table.

"Honey," he called as he approached. Rudi stood by his wife's side who was still bowing and bribing the food in her mouth. "Sorry, last night-" the man's words stopped as Nanda looked up, looked at him, showed her a wide smile. "Dear, you-"

"No papa, Mom. I didn't go home, either. It's more comfortable there. There are people who love me." After saying that, Nanda looked down again and went back to eating his fried rice. Just a plate, just for him.

Rudi shakes. "Darling-"

"I'm eating, Mom. Please don't bother me first" Nanda said.

"We need to talk. We'll straighten out our problems."

"We have no problem."

"Sa-"

"Alright." Nanda cut Rudi's words. The woman looked up and looked at her husband's tense face. "Sit down ahead and tell me what you want to tell me. I have events so I don't have much time."

Rudi immediately sat in the front seat. "What way? Where's where?"

"In Megan's apartment. He came yesterday and invited me to eat."

"Mas come along."

"No, necessary. I have to work, otherwise, go to the hospital again, take care of your affair."

"Nanda, sorry, ma'am. You misunderstood the reprimand yesterday."

Nanda shakes. She who had decided to become Nanda with a new personality, made herself calm to face this husband.

"When did you get married? I respect the origin of Mas happy, Mas family happy too. Especially so that Mas becomes a father, the status you really want."

Rudi rounded his eyes. He was shocked by Nanda's words. Does he know about marriage and family? What ....

"Not to be surprised, Mom. I know everything. Just go ahead if you think that's true." Nanda smiled. "I have to go" he said, standing up.

"Darling, tung--"

"Yes. Give her my regards. Tell him not to expect me to apologize, because what I did wasn't wrong." Nanda walked away.

Rudi pinched his temple. Seeing his wife's new attitude, his heart ached. He feels very guilty. His wife changed for sure due to being too disappointed in him, but he could not refuse his mother's request when she asked him to stay over and look after Sisil.

***

"What's his name?" ask Megan. The woman was dealing with a laptop, while Nanda was holding her best friend's child.

"Sisil" answered Nanda. The woman kissed the cheek of Megan's child, Mimi.

Megan pressed down on her laptop keyboard, then flipped. "Where is he?" ask him to Nanda. The woman with one child was looking for Sisil's social media account.

"Nothing. The accounts had no photos of her that looked like Sisil" Nanda said.

Megan let out a breath. "Surely he used a pseudonym. Hadheh. Failed to get her information from social media accounts." The woman was silent. "What if we follow him. When he gets out of the hospital, we follow him to his house."

"I agree, but when did he get out? We don't have that info."

"Yes too."

Nanda sighed. "Let's just. I will survive, if I am not strong I ask for a divorce. The problem is that I still love Rudi."

Megan shakes. "Elo survives for revenge. Love, throw it away, Nan, you've been let down by that taste."

Nanda sighed. He holds Mimi's fingers and plays by raising them down, weaving. "He was so, his family was so, because I was barren. If I had kids, they wouldn't be like that. They were just showing their disappointment to me."

Megan let out a breath. "Even if you are infertile, no human can punish you with this kind of pain. Surviving is hard, but you must punish those who scour you. First, fail the marriage of Rudi and the itch, whatever."

Nanda silently lowered his head, looking at Mimi who was very worried.

Sisil went to the bathroom with his cell phone. She activated the flat object and saw a lot of voice calls and chats from her husband. Sisil deleted the call and chat without reading it. She immediately typed and sent it to her husband.

[I'm looking after a sick friend, Mom.]

Not long after the phone vibrated. Lucky already in silent mode so no suspicious people outside.

"Where are you, Sil? Geez! Not coming home last night, no news, you want to make me crazy?" ask Andi from across the street.

Sisil who can be treated so twisted his eyeballs. "I'm a friend. Cell phone ran out of battery and forgot to tell you." The woman gave up.

"Who is your friend who can make you forget your husband and children?" ask Andi.

"Boyfriend. Employees at the salon. I have to be a good boss. Yesterday he suddenly fainted and I took him to the hospital, forgot about you."

I heard a breath from across there. "Have you eaten?"

"Udah."

"When to go home? Sindi nyariin you."

"I'll be home in the afternoon."

"Yes already. Wait at home."

"Hm."

Tut!

Sisil turned off his phone. He switched off his phone and went out of the bathroom.

"How are you feeling, Dil?" ask Rika. The woman asked from her seat, the sofa. He was with Sani, and his son was with Sukma, the father-in-law, at home.

"Udah is better, Ma'am. We can go home in the afternoon, right?" sisil replied meekly.

"If it does not feel better, just do it last night again," said Sani.

Sisil sat on the edge of the sickle bed. "No need, Ma'am. Ngerepotin you later. Kan, you guys take care."

Rika smile. "We don't bother. Kan, take care of our prospective family members."

That speech made Sisil's cheeks blush.

***

Rudi pinched his temple. He cannot be concerned with work. His mind was on Nanda. His wife deactivated her phone.

"Aarrrgh! Misunderstanding this will become more and more so," he said annoyed.

She has no intention of marrying Sisil. The woman was only used as a place to vent and stop for a moment. He only loves his wife, but with his wife, he always feels low because of the problem of not being able to give a healthy.

"Why did this have to happen to me!" he shouted, after scattering the file on the table.

***

Andi goes to his mother's house to take Sindi. The man brought the fried food to eat together before returning home.

"Papa came," said Sumi who was riding Sindi on the porch of his simple house.

"Hay," Andi greeted her son. Peeking at his little girl's forehead, after which took over the snuggle. "Here, Mom."

Sumi take. He is always happy if he gets souvenirs from the child, it is according to the form of attention. "Mom made tea for you, yeah."

Andi nodded. He sits on the terrace chair, while Sumi enters the house.

"Hay, Honey. Why don't you, papa?" ask her son. "Mama's kangen, right? Mama's coming home in the afternoon. We can get together again." The man kissed his son's puffed cheek. Her mother is very good at taking care of her grandchildren. Sindi's body is very plump. Her cheeks are pinched, warming.

"Sisil have you heard, Ndi?" asked Sumi who sat on Andi's side chair after putting two trays filled with two warm tea glasses and a plate of fried food.

"Udah, come home later in the afternoon. He said take care of his sick employee, his phone's out of battery and he forgot to buy."

Sumi knitted her eye brows. "That's weird your wife is. Keep friends until you forget the husband's son. You should be suspicious, Ndi. Your wife of the past few months is suspicious."

Andi silence. Wife suspicious? Thas right. The night often stayed just to play mobile. The phone never left his hand, even though he took a shower. The woman who was always busy until she could not get to Sindi. Not coming home all night and the most striking thing is to refuse to give her the night ration.

"You may feel your wife is loyal, but seek the truth because she is suspicious, you must" Susi said.

"Yes, Mom."
