When My Husband Wants to Get Married Again
Threat of Martha

Brigit came home with an agitated heart. All the way home, he kept thinking about how he would talk to Martha.

21:00 at night.

Martha accompanied Lucy in her room, and heard her husband's motorbike stop in the yard.

Martha then saw Lucy who had fallen asleep, she immediately walked out to meet her husband.

Her husband smiled at Martha, a different smile than usual. Like there was anxiety from the smile shown.

"Get in, just got home? What's overtime again?"

"Eh, yes." replied Brigit.

Actually Martha knew if her husband wasn't overtime, she was just testing Brigit's honesty. And still the same as before, he was used to lying.

Martha smiled wryly.

They sit at the table eating. Martha opens the hood. Then prepare food for her husband.

After eating, Brigit would usually take a shower but this time he sat for a long time at the table and continued to look at Martha's face.

Brigit's heart thumped, after Martha cleaned the dining table she called him to sit near her.

"Ma, uh,"

"Yes," Martha turned.

"Sit here ma..."

Martha sat opposite Brigit.

"Ma.there's something you want to say..." Brigit's lips look twisted and vibrate when he will say his wish.

"Just say pa,"

"It's about Sarita,"

"Ohh, that woman again?" Martha will wake up from her seat.

Brigit's hand immediately grasped Martha's hand on the table.

"Don't go ma. Think once again, she's pregnant, I have to marry her..."

"Mas..how many times have I said, I do not want polygamy, what about the children? They don't want to either."

"Papa is really confused, if you have to choose one of you, if you don't want to budge this time, then I'm forced to marry him ma, you agree or not" Brigit said.

"If you've decided to do that, what can I do? But if you ask my opinion then I still don't want polygamy" Martha said.

"I've confessed my mistake, I've also given up and we're sleeping apart, should we just get a divorce?"

"What's!? We're divorced? After all my sacrifices for you all this time now you want a divorce? You're forgot? I left my family for you, and now this is what I got?" Martha's tone of voice began to rise.

"Well, then what should I do?" Brigit held his own head with both hands because of his dead-end thinking.

"Leave that woman Mas, we've got Hardcore and Lucy. You can take care of that child without having to marry her" Martha told Brigit.

"The problem.me..." Brigit did not continue his words, fearing further hurt Martha if she spoke them.

"You love her? That's what you're gonna say, isn't it?" Martha had no power to resist the crystal clear that pooled. Even though he could not help himself crying.

"Yes. I love you both. You two are the most important people in my life, and I don't want to lose any of you,"

"You're really selfish!"

"Look at me, I still love you, my love is still the same as it used to be" Brigit said.

"If we get divorced, I assure you, that I will win custody of both of them. And if that happens, then I'll take them away from you. You won't see them again in your entire life" Martha threatened in anger.

"Ma.don't say it like that. Don't take the kids away from me" Brigit said.

"I defend you for their happiness mas, though I know I'm not happy now. But I kept holding on so they both would be happy. But if you break their hearts, I'm not willing,"

"Here you go, I don't want to talk about this anymore. Tired! I'm going to sleep!"

The next day, the,

Brigit had been waiting for Sarita very early in the morning. Sarita can't wait to meet Brigit and marry him.

"Mas, how did it go? Are you going to get divorced?" sarita asked with a shining face.

"No" replied Brigit quietly.

"Where the hell is mas? How about me and my baby?" Sarita is polishing in a high tone.

"He threatened to take the children away until I divorced him. I don't want to lose my kids,"

"Mas, I'm really disappointed in you. You still lost to your wife. You're the head of the household. You're the one who should make the decision, not him!" sarita's voice is rising.

"I'm sorry Sarita, if you want let's marry siri. I'm tired of persuading Martha and fighting with her" Brigit said, making Sarita cry.

Sarita was still as excited as Budi passed by and stopped the bike for a while.

But when he saw Brigit was near him, then he then put forward his motorbike back. She thought Sarita was alone, she was with her boyfriend, thought Budi, her ex-husband.

Angel was coming home and met some nosy neighbors. So when Angel passed by, the neighbor asked her.

"Angel, this is the stone's hour back from school?" ask the neighbor.

"Yes, Mpok, there was additional tutoring earlier," replied Angel politely.

"Oh yeah, yesterday I saw your mom at the park with a guy, and I saw your mom seem to be pregnant, are you going to have a new dad?" ask the neighbor.

"What?"

Angel gaped and immediately did not like what the neighbor said.

"What time is jeng?" the theme next to him.

"Yes, her stomach is usually slim, yesterday it looked like she was pregnant" said the neighbor.

"sorry Mom, maybe Sarita's mother is fat, so her stomach is a bit fat, not suudzon, not good you know Bu.

"Angel's? Where's she?" They did not realize that Angel had left while crying to hear what her neighbor said.

At home, Angel went into the room and cried. If it is true what his neighbor said, it means that what he feared will come true.

His mother is to marry the father of Tegar. And if that happens, then he will bear the shame in front of Tegar and all his friends.

All would say if her mother was a bad woman and could not keep her honor. And he, unable to hear the insults from friends also from neighbors in his house.

So Angel did not sleep even though it was 21:00 p.m.

Her mother had just come home, she went out and saw her mother at the door, just about to enter.

Angel immediately noticed her mother's stomach, and it turned out that it was true, her stomach did look fat like usual.

Sarita was astonished to see Angel staring at her stomach like that.

"What's wrong? Tumben you haven't slept? School tomorrow, right? It's night, go to sleep, I'll take a bath" Sarita said.

Angel is not flinching.

"Mom, you're not pregnant, are you?"

Sarita was shocked and looked at him.

"Who told you that?" Sarita asked back.
