The Struggle for Wife Love
Bag 38's

When we finished, we decided to go home. I've been accompanied all day by Andre, and almost all my tangled thoughts have disappeared.

"You want to go straight home, Raa?" ask Andre

"Owh yes, again you also have to rest. This whole day you've taken me on the road to the mall"

"Okaya anyway, again it was a long time ago also we did not walk together. Counting the memory of the past"

"He he he sihh, but if we used to walk home from school with dust, right"

We laughed together, remembering the old school days. Suddenly my steps stopped seeing the scene in front of me. I was shocked not to play, seeing Zean and Melati join hands and stand right in front of me and Andre. Our views are also drawn to each other.

"Owh happens to meet here, it looks like you just finished shopping" said Melati

I just kept quiet and ignored Melati's words.

"....So you moved on, Raa? If you can walk with other men, when will you be able to separate from Zean?" ask Melati again

"What do you have to do with him?" ask Zean

"I have nothing to do with Andre, we are just friends from childhood" I explained

"Friends? You think I'm blind? Last night he bought you a cake, and now I see you two walking. Is that what I said was just a friend?" zean was angry

"...I thought you said sorry and want to fix everything it's sincere, don't you know you want revenge just like me huh? Or maybe you've been cheating on me all this time?" continued Zean while pulling my hand.

I just fell silent at Zean's remark, it hurt to be slandered with his words that just came out. 

"I never sniff you, what else lies you" I said softly

"So what is this? Obviously I saw with my eyes you two walk" Zean snapped making everyone see us.

My tears were unstoppable again, never did Zean snap at me like this. This was in front of a crowd.

"You don't twist the facts, you're cheating yourself and accuse people. Very sissy to be a man" said Andre suddenly

"You two are a match, both hypocrites. You yell at me cheating, while you two walk. So what's her name?" 

Suddenly there was a female voice from behind us that surprised me. And it turns out that's Dita's voice.

".... Sorry, Raa, I went to the toilet. So who said you were walking together?" ask Dita

I could only be silent holding back my tears, thank God still kindly helping me by bringing Dita.

"Hey weak men who only live with women, you really don't know shame. Shouting telling people to cheat. Not self-conscious, right?" say Dita again

"And you women do not know themselves, do not be proud if the husband of this person ngebelain you. And you guys do fit each other, cheap women and men don't know themselves" Dita added

"Hey that cheap friend of yours, obviously Zean used to have me, why did he marry Zean" cried Melati

"Hey is crazy, your status was just a girlfriend, while my friend was legally his wife. Who doesn't know who's ashamed?"

"Owh yeah, whatever you want to say. Soon Zean will be flirting with him" said Melati proudly

"I think it's good Zean divorced Tiara, he's also not a guy who is rich and has everything, what would he be proud of? He's just a contractor at the company. It is not comparable to a Tiara"

I pulled Dita's hand and asked her to leave them. I don't want people to get more and more to see my household quarrel. My heart is so broken to hear that Zean is going to divorce me.

I decided to go home with Dita, I don't want Andre to be gossiping people about our issue earlier. I'm afraid our quarrels are affecting his reputation. So I asked him to go home first.

"Thank you Taa, you came and saved me" I said as I wiped my tears

"I came to the mall to meet you on purpose, Raa, because I'm sure you haven't come home yet so I followed you. Just looking for you, I saw a crowd of people. And it turns out it was you"

"If you weren't there, maybe I'd die in that Zean fight. I definitely can't explain it to him"

"He deliberately said that so that you are in the wrong Raa, it is not necessary for Raa to hope again. You can get better"

"It's not that easy, Taa, it's hard for me to bury all our memories" I said as I sobbed.

"Yeahhhh.... I don't want Raa to see you always get sick like this. You want to hold on until when? You deserve to be happy Raa" Dita advised

Dita pulled her car over to the side of the road, my cries getting louder. Even more unbearable, I cried all the way in Dita's car. Shortness, very tightness I feel in my chest at this moment. I don't know how I'm gonna solve all these problems.
