When My Husband Changed
9. Jobseeking

Zicka POV

The night was getting late and the clock was showing at 1:20 and I woke up from my sleep. Now I can't close my eyes anymore. I open a photo gallery on my phone, I look closely at the photos of mas Marcel who looks so friendly with a woman who is two-bodied. Again my tears came to see it. Looks like they're buying toys for their baby. Just like I used to, when I was pregnant with Meyra. Mas Marcel was so enthusiastic that more of him bought baby gear than I did. But now, everything has changed, Mas Marcel who used to love me so much, so loving his daughter is slowly changing and more and more day by day he doesn't care about us, his son and his wife. I'll try to be patient, wait for your explanation, wait for your certainty, Mas.  I don't know when I'll be able to survive and how I'll end up, whatever it is, hopefully it's the best for all of us.

But it never occurred to me that I had to part with you because this heart still loves you. But I'm just an ordinary woman, too. I can't share. Especially when betrayed. I better give up than my heart gets broken.

Mas Marcel ..is there no more love in your heart for me so without your heart duakan me, duakan my love, and establish a relationship with another woman. Am I not attractive to you anymore so that you would betray my loyalty? If so, why don't you just say okay? I sincerely let you go as long as you are happy, not double like this.

Mas Marcel, I'm waiting for your explanation. Come back, mom! I waited for you.

POV Marvin

Hoaaamm ...

I have woken up from my sleep. The clock shows at 7:05. I rushed to Zicka's room because I was still worried about her. I'm afraid he's doing the no-no. I open the door slowly, ah she's not there. I checked the bathroom, it wasn't there either. Is he in Meyra's room? I rushed to Meyra's room, then opened Meyra's door, and Meyra was sleeping alone. I checked in the kitchen, hopefully he was cooking, but he didn't exist either.

I was panicking, anxious, afraid something might happen to her. But suddenly I heard the voice of someone humming in the garden behind the house, whose voice was it? Because this time I heard someone singing in this house. I rushed to the back garden to see who was singing and it turned out to be Zicka's voice. Instantly my heart felt so relieved mixed happy to know it.

Never say that

Your love is only for me

Because now you've shared it

Sorry if it is now

I have to leave you

Because my heart always hurts

There's nothing more I can do

Do it without you

I can only say

What I guess

I cry imagining

How cruel you are to me

You are making this love

You go with her

I cry to release

You are leaving from my side of life

You should always know

I am the heart you have hurt

My heart was filled listening to Zicka hum. Maybe he wanted to voice his heart, but could not express it to others so he overflow his sadness by humming while drying the clothes he had just washed. But at least my heart is now quite calm because I see Zicka no longer crying. Even though I still see her eyes still puffy, maybe last night when I was asleep, she woke up and cried again.

Verily my heart goes along listening to the outpouring of his heart through that hum. Especially now that his eyes are back in tears. Oh brother Marcel, how much you can hurt and torture Zicka! Where your heart and your feelings are so willing to do that. Go without a word, do not go home without news, and now revealed a fact, it turns out you have two. Maybe now you're drinking the honey of romance from that woman, but I'm sure, one day you'll cry, regretting your stupid act of beating up a sincere woman like Zicka.

...❤️❤️❤️...

"Mama's in the back garden, honey," Zicka choked without stopping her clothes drying.

"Eh Marvin, you've been standing there for a long time?" Shocked Zicka asked because she saw Marvin standing in front of the back door of the house.

"Not for long. Your voice is good too. There is a talent for being a singer," praised Marvin with a seductive smile.

"good? Muji what's wrong?" zicka replied while chipping Then she turned her body to take the clothes that were still in the bucket and sun it.

"I'm honest, even thought about it. When have I ever said anything to you?" delik Marvin while rolling his eyes lazy.

"And maybe it's just sarcasm" Zicka replied, chuckling.

"Mama" called Meyra again as she walked closer to Zicka.

"Eh Mama's son is awake, here baby, hug mama!" zicka said as she crouched down and spread out her hands. Meyra immediately rushed into the arms of the mother and put her face on Zicka's chest making Zicka smile and peck at the top of her head.

"Om Marvin's embrace donk too!" marvin pretended to sulk.

"Belukaannn," exclaimed Meyra girang while hugging the uncle.

"Ma, Meyra laper!" Meyra said as she rubbed her small stomach.

"We have breakfast!uk! Mama made fried rice for us. But wash your face first!"

"Ready," said Marvin and Meyra compact and then they laughed, forgetting a moment of trouble yesterday.

At the dinner table

"Vin, I want to work again! But where is it? If you go back to working in hospitality, my time will be seized a lot. I also can not stay in Meyra, it is not possible that I rent a nanny, income just do not have," said Zicka while eating fried rice.

His brain was thinking, what kind of work could he do. Finances are running low. While Marcel has not sent him a monthly ration.

"You take care of my dress shop, how? There are several branches here, you can handle the closest so you can take Meyra as well, how? You want?" marvin tasted after swallowing the fried rice in his mouth.

"Really, Vin? Can I work at your store?" ask Zicka to convince.

"Take donk! What if I take you to my shop not far from here! If you feel suitable, you can immediately work tomorrow," said Marvin again. It has several clothing stores. Of course he can include anyone to work there as he wishes.

"Well, you can too! Meyra ate her breakfast! After this, mama took a bath, you want to go with mama to Om Marvin's dress shop?" ask Zicka to Meyra.

"Now, Ma. Wait, Ma, it will soon run out of rice," Meyra exclaimed as she quickly finished her fried rice.

Not long after, Meyra finished her breakfast. After breakfast, Zicka bathed Meyra and dressed her in nice clothes. Not to forget Zicka tied up Meyra's long-haired horse and paired her ribbons to make the little girl look cute and pretty. While Marvin, he took a bath in the kitchen bathroom. Fortunately, he was always ready to change clothes in the car so he could shower and change clothes anywhere.

"Well, Mama's son is beautiful now. It's your turn to get ready! You wait in front yes dear same Om Marvin!" the decree of Zicka to which Meyra belonged.

"Good, Ma."

After everything is ready, Zicka and Meyra also follow Marvin to his clothing store which is not far from Zicka's house.

Zicka looked around, the location was indeed quite good and safe. Not far from the store, he saw a PAUD so he could later send Meyra there. Especially in the store there is also a room that is usually used as Marvin's room if he wants to rest in the store that Zicka can use to Meyra rest and play while waiting for him to go home to work. After looking around and learning about the store, Zicka agreed to work at the store. Marvin puts him in as a cashier so Zicka doesn't have to pacing and fatigue.
