“Not finished?” Naomi Keki asked herself, since then she was ignored as if Naomi was just a worthless statue.
“Before a while ya wait.” sahut Ilham without turning towards his wife.
Honestly, there is no longer a longing for the sharp highlight when he looked at a beautiful face that was always shady to look at. His heart did not rustle like it used to, maybe all he had given to Monita so that there was no left for Naomi. Consciously, this man had already shifted the first occupant in his heart with someone else.
All the attention that Naomi did not give now she felt from Monita, what was not in Naomi was all in Monita. How could he not fall as fallen to the creature of God that one if every day he poured out great love and affection.
For a second, Ilham finished his work. Now he glanced at his first wife with a warm smile carved from his lips. Maybe there's something he needs to say. Feeling guilty for not going home for a few days, she behaved as well as she could on Naomi.
“Why not go home?” Ask the owner of the rickety lips to Inspiration.
The question was really poignant, Ilham swallowed his saliva, not knowing what to answer. If he answers to keep Monita from running away again, it's obvious that it will scratch the wound in Naomi's heart. Without answering he just stared fixedly at his wife.
“Mas why silence? Answer mas.” Naomi demands answers.
“You've had lunch?” Really not connecting, in asked what is behind the question. Apparently the habits of Inspiration began to fall again after a long time he lost. Answering questions with questions again and pretending not to listen to the interlocutor is a habit of Inspiration since long ago, but he has not applied it again after Naomi asked to eliminate the habit, because it's really annoying according to Naomi.
“Mas, please if I ask it answered, not behind the question, wonder again. Kan I've told you, get rid of the habit, I don't like mas.” Naomi's nagging sharpen her eyebrows, she throbbed annoyed.
“Hahaha sorry, oh yes how about we eat sea food? Have you not eaten that for a long time?” tanya Ilham distracts Naomi with her favorite food. Usually this method works, because in the past Ilham often used this way when Naomi was angry and asked things that did not want Inspiration to answer. Rather than lying, it is better to divert the thought of Inspiration.
“Mau mas, where is it?”
Inspiration exclaimed yes in his heart, apparently this was still the case. Ilham shook his head while ruffling his wife's hair to an irregularity.
“Mas I just catokan, how the hell.” grumbled Naomi tidied back her hair, she completely forgot her original purpose was to interrogate her husband due to seductive sea food temptations.
They came out of the room with Naomi in the arms of her husband. Actually Ilham was uncomfortable getting such sweet treatment from Naomi, especially now in front of the room there is Andre. Inspiration immediately removed Naomi's hand from her arm, of course gently.
“Why on the loose? You don't want me to hook up again mas?” If Ilham used to love Naomi like that, it is different with now. Naomi is not stupid, she can read the drastic changes her husband is showing now.
“Not Mi, embarrassed at sight of people. Long married, old too but still in tandem, later if you say friendly how.” A lie once, old man from where? Even when they were young enough, married not even a dozen years, but others only if with Monita, he even dared to kiss Monita's lips in front of many people.
“Reason alone.” grumbled Naomi walked while stomping her feet and pursing her lips like a Kindergarten boy and walking ahead of Ilham.
If Naomi used to be like that would be persuaded, another case with now. Inspiration was even silent and as if nothing had happened when he saw Naomi sulking like that. The heart of Inspiration seems to have given completely to the second woman at home.
“He didn't persuade me? Really it's been outrageous, this attitude of his is even worse than the previous one.” Naomi's inner speech glanced back, even the one she saw, at a glance, her husband was busy fiddling with her phone like he was texting someone.
“But it's up to him, than he won't be with me this afternoon. It's good now he wants to take me.” his inner self again.
“Honey, wait a minute yes I still have a meeting with my other clients. Later finish meeting I pick you up yes.” fill in a message Ilham for Monita.
This time Ilham was forced to lie, he did not want Monita to think a no-no if she was honest that she was with Naomi. Even though Monita had no power to get angry or to ask Ilham to avoid Naomi, it was still better for Ilham to lie because he did not want his wife to be in love.
“Alright mas, Monita just wait here. Still at home mama.” reply Monita after.
Reading the message, Inspiration pulled the corner of his lips. Apparently slowly his mother will melt on Monita. Just let them spend more time together, it would be better to build closeness, he thought.
“Yes already, I ended the message I love you my honey.”
“Love you to.”
“Don't just love you to, if that's what you like to follow.”
“I love you mas Ilham darling.”
“Well so new right.” message was really over.
Naomi who has since noticed her husband's smile on her own can guess exactly if, her husband is chatting with Monita. Seeing that her heart throbbed instantly, even with her her husband had dared to reply to the woman. But he was forced to give up for now, the most important thing is that now Ilham is with him.
While on the way to the restaurant, Ilham only focused on driving. If he always looked at Naomi while holding her hand, now he looks different. Don't talk, just glance at him.
Until it does not take long, a luxury car with a fantastic price that has been parked perfectly in the basement of the restaurant.
Even as soon as it came down, Ilham who usually opened the door for Naomi now just stood there waiting for Naomi to come down. Even Naomi deliberately linger a little in the car waiting for Ilham to open the door but nil, all is not as expected.
Forced to go down by himself and display a smile of compulsion in front of Ilham. He seemed not to want to dispute it first, later this time his heart was good.
****
The days passed so quickly, today Nancy's mother began to move forward with her plan to find out about Naomi. His first destination was to visit the apartment of a close friend of Naomi named Sinta, because Nancy knows, between Sinta and Naomi there is no secret. Because Nancy knew they were friends from childhood, even Sinta often visited Naomi when her daughter-in-law was living in her house, so from there she had known Sinta.
Not forgetting he brought Doni, warning if later he was not honest, then he would ask Doni to take action until the woman opened her mouth.
In the next second, the door had been opened by a tall woman as high as ever with all her hair that she clasped with a pause, when judging from her appearance this morning, it seemed like Sinta was in order.
“Tante?”
“Hai Sinta how are you? Can aunty come in?” Nancy asked with her sweet smile and a very shady face of course.
“Ah yes tan come on in.” Sinta invites Nancy and Doni in.
“Sorry tan, my house is still a mess, I have not finished cleaning.” he said as soon as Nancy and Doni entered as his hands tidied up the sofa cushion properly. He wants his guests to be comfortable when visiting.
“It's okay, besides it's still morning, it's time to clean up. Aunty who came from a tight fit.” replied Nancy while sitting herself on the soft sofa after being invited to sit.
“Mau Sinta make aunty tea?”
“Ah don't bother son, aunt only briefly kok.”
“But tan-“
“No need, let's sit down. Aunt won't be long.”
“Oh yes well aunt.” Sinta also sat herself on the sofa that was right in front of Nancy.
“Still meeting Naomi?” Nancy opened the conversation.
“Iya tan. yesterday Sinta also had time to his home.”
Nancy nodded before starting her main question.
“You must know a lot about Naomi's household?”
Hearing that Sinta squinted her eyes, apparently her best friend's in-laws were looking for something. But he still remained polite and showed his sweetest smile in front of this middle-aged woman. What she knows is that Nancy and Naomi are still doing well, Naomi has not told her about the incident of Nancy and Agam's anger the other day at the main house.
“Indeed why ya tan?”
“Tante wants to ask, who is the mastermind of Ilham's remarriage show with Monita?”
Deeegggs…
Sinta gasped at the lightning question, her lips slightly gaping, as soon as her body froze, her heartbeat seemed to stop and froze as well as her body. How does aunt Nancy know? He thought, because what he knew was the secret of Ilham and Naomi that they had kept tight even he kept it a secret. Naomi is open to him and Amira. But Nancy did not come to Amira because she also did not know how close they were, therefore she just headed to Sinta.
“Jawab Sinta.” said Nancy broke Sinta's daydream, but still with a very soft voice.
“Tan-te, know where Ilham got married again?” Only that was able to come out of Sinta's mouth at the moment, she couldn't possibly confess because it was the same way she put her own best friend into the abyss. Yes they are that close.
“What is Sinta important? Just answer my question, who is the mastermind behind the charade?” nancy's patience was not as thick as her wallet, so she urged Sinta to quickly answer the questions she was asking.
“Sorry tan, for that matter, I cannot answer.” replied Sinta while lowering her face. He did not dare to stare at Nancy's sharp bead at this moment.
“Jawab or this trigger I pulled?” Threatens Doni to put a gun right on Sinta's head.
Sinta raised her face with perfectly rounded eyes. His mouth was gaping wide, this time his heart was pounding twice as fast, the instant his body trembled and even breathing he was afraid. He did not want to be the same fate as the man who had done evil to Ilham and his father before. Papa and the boy are both reckless, they like to solve problems by eliminating their enemies. If it is not made defective, it will be made dead. That's what he heard from Naomi's story, dealing with the Adhitama family was a big mistake.
“Jawab only Sinta if you love your life.” said Nancy relaxed without glancing at Sinta while playing her fingers. Not only his father, but his mother is equally sadistic.
Sinta was silent, now she was faced with a dilemma, on the other hand she loved her best friend but she also loved her life. The woman closed her eyes for a moment and sighed deeply to neutralize her fear and steady her heart to tell the truth. Unfortunately for Naomi, she loved her life more.
“Da-dalangya is Naomi herself aunt.” replied Sinta in her soft voice, she again lowered her face with shackled fear.
Hearing that Nancy's heart was like being thrown a large chunk of rock right on her chest. Now he's got a reality. Inner torn. It felt crowded, even the air supply there was unable to relieve his breathing.
How not, the daughter-in-law whom he had believed all along, he loved like loving his own biological children could lie to him this deeply.
Even more unfortunate, the last time they were discovered, Naomi still dared to lie and firmly made Ilham as a shield to protect her. From here only Nancy has understood, as far as Naomi's love for her child, it turns out her love is only small, because a good wife and really love her husband will not do such a lowly thing.
The more Nancy hated her daughter-in-law, even until she was on the way home, the expression of Sinta still ringing in her mind. He was still silent with a face full of disappointment. He may even corner his son and accuse him of betraying Naomi. And the stupidity of Inspiration even does not matter if it is made a shield by Naomi, Nancy really does not accept this.
What exactly is in his brain. Does he still love his wife? If it was, then Nancy could no longer accept it, even if the love was still in her son's heart, she would try to remove Naomi's name from Inspiration's heart if she could. Naomi no longer has the blessing of her mother-in-law. Nancy's hatred is in the crown, there is no tolerance for a great liar like Naomi.
