The Struggle for Wife Love
Bag 8's

We sat at the same table in the cafe and just kept quiet, with no one to start a conversation. I see Melati occasionally biting her nails which signifies her nervousness. And Zean looked at me blankly.

"waiter, I ordered chocomilk same chocolate waffle yes" I told the waiter who served our table

"there's more mbak...?" ask the waiter

"you didn't order anything? your purpose here is to eat, right?" ask me to relax

"i ordered a cold mocca with orange juice 1" Zean said as he looked at me

After the waiter left, we fell silent again. I don't know where to ask. Not even Zean had any sign of explaining anything to me. As much as I could hold back my tears, even my heart stopped beating.

"you don't work today bii...?" asked Zean to open our conversation

"owh, I asked to go home quickly, because there's something I have to take care of" I said, staring at him

"what's important? get out at lunchtime?"

"yes, it's so important that I'm confused about where to start"

Then the waiter came to deliver our order, and I immediately drank my drink, my throat felt very dry, holding back the incident I was currently experiencing. The coldness of this drink did not remove the heat in my heart.

"He's Jasmine." said Zean introducing the woman.

Is it that easy for her to introduce her affair to me? or is there another reason I should hear? but I don't want to hear any reason, I have to solve this problem as soon as possible. Because I'm sick of not being clear about my household.

"I know, even I've called her. And I've seen your social media accounts with her" I said casually

"I can explain this to you, you don't get emotional yet" Zean tried to calm me down

I looked at the silent Melati from earlier, somehow her parents named her Melati, too good a name for someone like her. Even the best name would not be suitable for my housewives. I wanted to slap even her fine hair. But I held all for the sake of my household. I don't want to get emotional and end up harming myself.

"I'm the same as Zean love each other" said the woman bravely

I looked at him and smiled at him. "It's disgusting" I thought

"so, if you love each other, do you have any plans to get married?" ask me while cutting my favorite waffle

"there, Zean promised to marry me because he doesn't want to be with you anymore" said Melati

"did Zean tell you he was going to divorce me and you were going to get married?" ask me again

Melati was silent to hear what I asked, without waiting for her to answer I already knew, Zean only promised to marry her but did not promise to divorce me.

"if he wants to marry you, have him divorce me first" I said, staring at Zean

"what the hell are you saying bii...?" ask Zean quickly

"i'm talking the truth, if you want to get married again, you have to divorce me first. Because I don't want to share my husband with anyone else even a self-informed person like him"

I left those who were still sitting in the cafe. Even Zean was reluctant to chase after me, maybe Zean was so in love with that woman that he let me just walk away. It suddenly rained very hard, as if God knew my sorrow and let me cry among the heavy stubs of this rain.

Arrrrgggh. What's wrong with my home?

Hmm I don't know.....
