The Tainted Sanctity
Chapter 49 (Remembering )

Alvin slightly avoided his wife after her wife miscarried. Alvin was very disappointed. With that disappointment he inhabited his wife without caring about the feelings of his wife who was no less disappointed.

Nirmala was serving her cooking on the dining table. It has been a few days since he returned to living his days as usual. Sometimes he is sad when he remembers his son, but he tries to act calm as if he forgot his loss. Nirmala does not want to continue to fall. Maybe this was already the path of fate that he had to live. For now he tries sincerely, and in the future will be careful again. Do not let this happen again.

Nirmala saw her new husband coming down the stairs. With the briefcase in your right hand.

''Mas, the breakfast is ripe. Let's have breakfast together!'' Nirmala ran over to her husband.

''I'm not hungry, '' Alvin just glanced at his wife. Then he continued his steps out of the house.

Nirmala was disappointed to see her husband's attitude. I don't know how else she can make her husband what he used to be. So considerate and so kind to him, not being cold like this.

''Mas, can you forgive me? I don't want to lose our son either. This is a test for us, Mom. Not only you feel sad, but I am very sad. But I do not want to continue to look sad, because I believe one day we are given confidence, Nirmala said with a little holding back her tears.

Alvin silently closed his eyes. His current position was his back to his wife. Actually, he also did not want to continue to inhabit his wife. But every time he saw his wife's face reminded him of his dead son.

Alvin just left without chiming in his wife's words in the slightest.

Tears that have been held since then are now spilled instantly. Nirmala felt pain in being let down like this by her husband. Honestly, he missed the harmony of his household like before.

From a distance can be seen Mr. Sanjaya who is watching his daughter-in-law. It just so happened that Mr. Sanjaya witnessed everything. Actually, Mr. Sanjaya felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, but it was difficult to persuade Alvin to return to be kind to his wife. Alvin still has disappointments.

'Forgive me, Mom. I'm sorry, ' Inner Nirmala.

Nirmala went straight to her room. He thought no more of his tummy.

Alvin's gone home from work. But he was with a woman. Nirmala who was standing at the door, she wondered in her heart because of her curiosity. Honestly, she did not like to see her husband with other women.

''Mas, let me bring you a bag, '' Nirmala was about to snatch the bag her husband was carrying, but her husband did not give it to her.

''No need, I can take it myself, Alvin just barged into the house, leaving his wife alone there.

Nirmala tried to strengthen her heart. Now he's back in the house. She saw her husband sitting with the woman.

''Mas, what do you want to drink? Let me make it, said Nirmala who is currently standing not far from them.

''Just make orange juice for us, ''' pinta Alvin.

''Well, Mas.'' Nirmala passed away going towards the kitchen.

Nirmala carried a tray filled with drinks ordered by her husband. He put two glasses of orange juice on the table. Every now and then he listened to Alvin and his girlfriend chat with each other, and it was very familiar.

''Please enjoy! Excuse me first, said Nirmala. But there was no word from her husband.

Mr. Sanjaya who just came out of the room heard the voice of his son who sounded was chatting fun. Out of curiosity Mr. Sanjaya went to the source of the voice. Mr. Sanjaya saw his son chatting with a woman. But it is not clear the woman's face because Mr. Sanjaya just saw it from the side.

''Al, it seems that you guys are so engrossed in chatting him up, '' Mr. Sanjaya is sitting himself in front of his son, and how shocked to see the woman before him who turns out to be Renita, and how shocked he is, the son of his ex-girlfriend Renita is Alvin's childhood friend.

''Hi, Om. How are you?'' Renita looks very friendly greeting Mr. Sanjaya.

''My news is good, how are you, and your mother, Ren?''

''Our news is good too, Om. I happened to move to this city because my mother remarried one week ago with a businessman in this city.''

''I'm glad to hear it. Finally after a long widow your mother married again.''

''Yes, Om. I also feel happy because now there is a protective figure who looks after my mother.''

They were busy chatting, from a distance Nirmala seemed to pay attention. If only the one in the position of the woman herself, surely she would feel very happy chatting with her husband and in-laws.
