The Tainted Sanctity
Chapter 23 (Don't look at the book from its cover )

Currently Elvan and Cantika are getting ready. Because they're going to Cantika's parents' house for dinner together. The two of them came out of the room, but Elvan stepped in first. He left his wife behind.

''Mas, slow down dong!'' Cantika is after her husband.

Alvin just kept going without looking back. He let his wife continue to pursue his steps.

Cantika slightly stomped her feet because she was upset with her husband.

Cantika saw her husband who was already in the car. He also got into the car, then violently closed the car door.

''Swallow, Canti!'' alvin.

''After Mas Alvin left me, '' Cantika pursed her lips.

''You are like a child, Alvin quipped his wife.

Cantika just stared lazily at her husband.

Alvin just drove his car straight to the home address of Cantika's parents.

Fortunately, the streets did not get stuck, so they could get there faster. Alvin and Cantika get out of the car together. Alvin was about to go first, but his wife held his hand.

''What's wrong, Canti?'' alvin asked, looking at his wife.

''We just hold hands. Don't be like a couple fighting, he said.

Alvin thought that what his wife said was true, even though he was a little lazy to do it.

Cantika smiled looking at her husband who would join hands with her.

Tok

Alvin knocked on the door. Incidentally, the one who opened the door was the maid in the house.

''Welcome to Non Canti, Mr. Alvin. Please enter!'' he said it kindly.

The two stepped into the house still holding hands. When they arrived at the family room, they saw Mr. Sanjaya, Mr. Dirga, and Ms. Rinda sitting together.

''Wah finally the one who was waiting came too, '' said Mr. Sanjaya, smiling at the two. 

''You look very harmonious, son.'' Ms. Rinda praised Cantika and Alvin who she thought looked very compatible.

Alvin only pretended to be happy by showing his smile. Alvin and Cantika sit on the sofa in front of their parents. Alvin hurriedly released his hand which held his wife's hand.

''Canti, you will refuse to make a four-monthly event. Later if the seven-monthly event should not refuse again yes, '' said Bu Rinda.

''Em that, Mah.'' Cantika seemed hesitant to speak.

''Why, Son? You want to refuse again?'' Miss Rinda is waiting for an explanation from her son.

Before speaking, Cantika looked at her husband sitting next to her.

''Actually seven months is one month away, Mah. I was pregnant before marriage.''

Both of his parents were shocked to hear his words. Except for Mr. Sanjaya who looks ordinary. Because Mr. Sanjaya already knew if his daughter-in-law was pregnant with someone else's child.

''So you and Alvin did it; did it before you got married?" Miss Rinda asked her son.

''Really, Mah. Mas Alvin and I did that before we got married, Cantika said.

Alvin frowned when he heard his wife say that. Confidently his wife said that she had been impregnating him before marriage.

''What matters now is that Alvin is responsible, son.'' said Mr. Dirga who did not bother about it.

''Why don't you just talk to Mom, son? Mamah will not be angry anyway, Alvin was also responsible, said Bu Rinda.

'What kind of drama is this, ' Inner Alvin.

Just for a while they chatted, Miss Rinda invited them to go straight to the dining room.

.......

Now Alvin and Nirmala meet often. Because Alvin always comes at lunchtime. The two always had lunch together.

'It looks like it's Mas Alvin's car, ' Cantika's inner.

Cantika got back in her car and asked her driver to follow her husband's car. Cantika tries to contact her husband and asks where he is. Her husband said she is currently in the office. That was all Cantika asked. Both of them ended their phone calls.

After a long time following, Cantika saw her husband's car enter the gate to the luxury apartment.

'Where are you going, Mas Alvin? Whose apartment did he come to?' inner Cantika.

Cantika asked his driver to park his car on the side of the road.

When she saw her husband get out of the car and go near the luxurious building in front of her, Cantika also got out of the car, then followed where her husband went.

Upon seeing her husband enter the elevator, Cantika went into hiding. When the elevator door closed, he came out of hiding. Cantika looked at the floor where her husband was going. Then she took the next elevator to the floor that her husband was heading to.

Ting

Elevator door opens. Cantika, who had just gotten out of the elevator, saw her husband enter an apartment.

'Who would Mas Alvin meet? Whose apartment is it?' Cantika wondered in her.

Cantika decided to approach the apartment that her husband had entered. Then he pressed the bell near the door.

Alvin, sitting with Nirmala, heard someone knocking the bell.

''Who is coming?'' alvin murmurs.

''Maybe Bibi took care of this apartment, '' said Nirmala.

''Time anyway? It should still be a week away, Alvin was a little confused.

''Let me just check ahead, ''' Nirmala was about to get out of her seat, but Alvin prevented it.

''Don't! Let me just, Alvin just went straight ahead to open the door.

Alvin, who had just opened the door, was shocked to see his wife standing there. He did not expect that the one who came was his wife.

''Canti, why is it here?''

''I should have asked, why is Mas Alvin here? Why does it look so surprised?''

''Ah no, I am ordinary, '' he said.

Cantika was about to break in, but Alvin stopped him.

''Why are you?''

''I just want to go in, I can't. What is Mas Alvin hiding? Lest inside there be your mistress, Cantika looked at her husband full of search.

''Don't talk to you, Canti!'' Alvin went straight into the apartment. He hurriedly closed his door before his wife barged in.

'Damn it, it looks like Mas Alvin has a mistress, ' Inner Cantika.

Cantika rang the bell again and again, but Alvin did not open the door.

Nirmala heard the apartment bell ringing again.

''Brother, who's coming?'' ask Nirmala.

''I mean, maybe he was following me. Fortunately he didn't come in. If he sees you, it will definitely be a misunderstanding.''

''Let me just hide, Brother Alvin just open the door.''

''No need, he would have been suspicious if I hid someone here.''

''I'm afraid of being mistaken for a third person.''

''Never open the door for anyone. Later if I'm going to come, I will definitely call you first, so you are not just anyone to open the door.''

''Well, Brother.''
