The Shackles of Second Love
28

“Hai, dear— I'm glad you dropped your pride to meet me.”

Bramantyo grinned thinly, staring as hard as this beautiful woman in front of him. He boldly poked Sharon's cheek which was then brushed by the woman.

The man chuckles softly, “Why don't you let another man touch you as he pleases?” bramantyo's question made Sharon even more upset.

“That's because my body belongs to my husband! What a jerk like you deserves to touch my skin!” the woman replied, luring Bramantyo to laugh again.

The man was still casting a look of disdain at Sharon, “Is that true?”

“Then how bad you are, Sharon.” Bramantyo said meaningfully.

“You are guarding your body desperately over Hartono's possession, while the man steadfastly does not take care of himself and touches another woman.” Bramantyo said with a smiley skin on Sharon.

“What are you talking about?!” ketus Sharon's.

Bramantyo shrugged both his shoulders indifferently. The man then stood up from his seat of honor and stepped up to approach Sharon.

“Isn't your goal to come here to ask that?” bramantyo asked right next to Sharon's ear.

“You who began to doubt your husband's loyalty, led you to come to me.”

Sharon was unable to speak up. she did not intend to refute Bramantyo's accusations, because her goal came to see the man indeed to find out something her husband was hiding.

But the greater the desire to know it, the greater the fear. He was afraid that the information he got from Bramantyo would actually make his heart break.

Looking at his interlocutor who turned like a statue, the geeky smile on Bramantyo's face widened. He was happy because Sharon was starting to get influenced by his words.

“So, did my husband cheat behind my back?” Sharon asked with growing fear filling the recesses of her heart.

“I didn't know she was having an affair or not.” Bramantyo's answer successfully made Sharon turn to the man.

“Then what did you say yesterday?!” sharon's emotions began to ignite because Bramantyo seemed to beat around him.

“I'm not done talking, Sharon.” Bramantyo spoke firmly and managed to make Sharon silenced.

“One year ago I was with your husband in cooperation. And as my thanks go to Hartono, I prepared beautiful women to accompany your husband to eat and drink.

You know Sharon? Some of our meetings, your husband has no interest at all in the women who are prepared. But in our last meeting, I replaced some of the women on duty that night.”

Sharon listened carefully to all of Bramantyo's explanations without exception. And of course with a racing heart.

“And you know what?” Bramantyo looked at Sharon while showing off her cute smile at the woman.

“It turns out your husband has an interest in the woman I just assigned.” Bramantyo said.

Sharon fluttered in place, the woman slowly felt a pain infiltrating her chest cavity. Though everything is not clear, but he has felt pain until like this.

“I don't know what happened that night, but after a month passed Hartono came back to me and asked for the woman's home address.” Bramantyo said ending his long explanation.

The man noticed Sharon who was starting to lose her strength just to stand up. He just stared at her without any intention of helping the woman to reach the chair and then sat there.

Bramantyo realized, if this truth might hurt the woman greatly. Remembering how the love between the two has gone on for so long.

“Can I ask for full information about the woman?” Sharon asked without looking at Bramantyo's face.

“Sure, I'll give it to you.”

..

Sharon cried alone in the car, while her face fell on her hands on the steering wheel. Next to her was a piece of paper containing information about the woman suspected of cheating on her husband.

And what makes Sharon surprised instead of playing is the fact that the woman in question is Mia.

The man he had considered his own daughter.

She did not expect her husband and the woman to deceive her so badly. And what Hartono did was completely disintegrate himself until what was left right now was pain.

Hartono came home before the rain actually fell on the earth he was peeling. He looked at the flower in his right hand, then smiled slightly.

The present had flashed in his shadow about the radiant look on his wife's face upon receiving a small gift from her.

Because he felt that he had not given flowers to Sharon for too long.

Upon entering the mansion, Hartono was greeted by his son-in-law. He smiled a friendly smile at the woman.

“You saw your mother?” ask Hartono where the question refers to Sharon's whereabouts.

“Mother seems to be in the room.” replied Laura sounding unsure.

Hearing that Hartono again continued his journey towards the upper floor where his second room was located.

Laura smiled wryly, she just saw her father-in-law carrying flowers.

“I didn't know that Dad turned out to be romantic too.” Laura said.

It is fitting that Fabian is very good at being sweet to him, apparently it decreased from the behavior of his father-in-law.

Meanwhile, Hartono was standing at the door of his room with Sharon, and he opened the door without knocking.

And after he opened it, Hartono was treated to a scene of his room falling apart with Sharon sitting behind him.

“Sharon, what happened to you?” Hartono asked as he swung his steps to approach the woman.

“Why did you make our room a mess?” ask the man again.

Sharon was still flinching in place, and making Hartono so unsettled.

“What have you done behind my back, Hartono?”

Hartono's two black obsidians widened instantly as Sharon called out to her without a loving call.

The woman then turned her body around to look at Hartono, and the man realized that his wife was not doing well.

There were traces of tears on his beautiful face, and it indicated that his wife had just cried.

“You cheated on me, didn't you?” sharon asked with pain.

The obvious question that Hartono could not avoid, was also the kind of question that made the man's body freeze in place.

Seeing the silence of the husband made Sharon's cry again break. The woman then stood up and lunged at her husband's body.

“Say!”

“Is it true that you cheated on that woman?!”

“Woman I have considered my own daughter?”

Sharon's voice rang out trembling as the woman spoke while holding back her cries. Hartono felt his chest tight at the sight of how his wife looked in such pain.

Sharon waited for Hartono to speak out, and denied all his charges. But the man was still silent like a statue that was not given life.

It really hurt him, because indirectly Hartono justifies all the accusations that lead to him.

“Why are you quiet, Hartono? Answer me! Refute everything!” sharon shouted no longer unstoppable.

The woman also brutally beat her husband's chest until his hand felt pain. Sharon hated it when Hartono remained silent and did nothing to calm her down.

“Sorry, I'm sorry.”

and the reply from the man succeeded in making Sharon's cry even louder along with the rain that was accompanied by thunder booming.

The crying sky becomes a complement to accompany the destruction of a Sharon because of her husband's affair.
