"Who is it from, darling?" asked Arka looking at his wife.
"What should I do," Mona mentally exclaimed while clutching her cell phone. "Honey," Arka called, making Mona gasp in surprise. "Honey, this is a message from ...." Mona chose not to say it, deciding to hand the phone to Arka. "Dinda," Arka murmured as she saw the lines of letters stringing together into words. "Yes. He chatted me, what should I do, honey?" Mona asked quietly, she was really confused. "What's the use of that much money, he's already taken my property," said Arka, wondering what his ex-wife's now sister-in-law's reasoning was. "I don't know, honey. That's up to you. For example, if you want to take your brother Dinda's case to the police station, go ahead, I know what you did was wrong," Mona said with Arka's nod. "While I have your number, it can be traced," Mona continued, making Arka a"You don't have to yell, you idiot! I'll get the money in a minute," Dinda said irritably and took out the money from her bag and handed it to the woman. "Here, I'll pay in full, you go already. Thanks for borrowing, I know you want to embarrass me, right," Dinda sarcastically made the woman splutter in annoyance then stomped away. "Hey, Din," greeted Sinta who was to the left of Dinda's rent. Dinda gave Sinta a lazy look, and chose to go into her rented house, ignoring the woman. Meanwhile, Sinta looked annoyed at Dinda's departure. She intended to ask for money because her neighbor seemed to have a lot of money now. Stomping her foot in annoyance, Sinta went straight to the rent that the widow was living in. *** Time passed so quickly, Dinda kept asking to be sent money when she needed it. Mona, on the other hand, kept sending it after Arka allowed her to. Arka already k
Arka immediately helped Mona change her clothes. The woman was no longer embarrassed because she was no longer able to wear clothes because of her big belly. After helping his wife, Arka immediately came out and looked annoyed at the two people still in the residence after making a mess. "You're so shameless, get the hell out of my house! Don't step foot in here again," chased Arka looking angrily at Hana. "Ar-Arka... Hana didn't mean to water Mona," Hana squeaks softly, her fingers twisting together in fear at the look in Arka's eyes. "Yeah, you didn't mean it, you just planned it. Get out of my house!" Arka snaps, pointing to the exit, Hana's face already sad and eyes glazed over. "Ka ... never mind, Mona's fine too, right," said Adzkia, making Arka snort in annoyance and then choose to step away towards the room. "And if Mona is in trouble, she wants to take responsibility, mom, never mind. Don't keep defe
Adzkia's eyes rounded perfectly and she got up and grabbed Arka's cell phone. "DON'T buy a plane ticket, Arka's not going anywhere, watch out if you buy a plane ticket," Adzkia threatened and switched off the phone. "Mom...," Arka scolded irritably and was about to reach for her cell phone but was hidden by Adzkia who kept shaking her head. "I want to change, please don't leave," Adzkia pleaded in a soft voice, looking sadly at her only child. "But if you hurt my wife's heart again, sorry ... it's better if you don't see each other, that's how, we'll go abroad which I won't mention where," Arka said quietly in reply to Adzkia's weak shake. "I promise I'll accept Mona," Adzkia said, grabbing her daughter-in-law's fingers, making Mona turn her head. "Please... tell Arka not to leave me, I'm old, Mon," Adzkia said, looking pleadingly at her daughter-in-law, Mona digested her mother-in-law's words and nodded in r
The news about Susan being a mistress was widespread. The legal wife, Susan's husband came to her house to teach her a lesson. Many people talked about the woman and even stayed away for fear of their men being targeted. "That's Susan, let's hurry up with the shopping," exclaimed some who were choosing vegetables at a traveling vegetable seller. "Yes, Sister, Sister, let's hurry up! My wife might go berserk if she finds out she bought vegetables from me," said the vegetable seller to which the women nodded and then immediately left making Susan stop approaching. "Gosh... if it wasn't for the fact that the groceries were gone, I wouldn't have come out until the news died down," Susan muttered under her breath as she watched the women move away at her presence. "Uncle, stop...," Susan shouted making everyone who heard immediately turn their heads towards her, the vegetable seller who wa
A woman was waiting in front of Arka's residence. It looked like the owner of the house was away. The woman was waiting at a stall a few houses away from Arka's residence. The roar of a familiar car made Dinda turn around quickly and pay for her food and drinks. "My husband!" she shouted, pulling her suitcase closer to the car when she saw him get out of the four-wheeled vehicle. "I miss you!" she squealed, hugging Arka's body, making him jump in surprise. Mona who saw rounded her nerves, then came out to break their embrace. Arka, who saw his wife's eyes glazing over, quickly pulled Mona into a hug. Dinda looked surprised to see her sister's stomach bulging, the woman's mouth gaping quickly she covered it with the palm of her hand. "Mona! Are you pregnant? Why don't you tell me where your husband is? Let's get to know him," Dinda said, hugging her sister but Mona did not respond. "What'
All the items were scattered on the floor, many of them broken. Mona was surprised to hear the sound of falling objects, she immediately ran even though her bag was still attached to her back. Seeing his brother-in-law sitting on the bed while holding a paper made Mona curious, she approached and asked quietly."Brother-in-law, what's wrong?" asked Mona looking at Arka who immediately looked up when she heard her voice."Go away!" snapped Arka, getting up and glaring at Mona.Mona looked down as she was surprised to get yelled at by Arka. With weak steps, she left and rushed to her room to change her clothes. After that, she went around looking for her sister. "Sister Dinda, where are you?" Mona kept shouting trying to find her sister who invited her to live with her two months ago when their parents were gone.Until a voice made her stop looking, it sounded very cold. The man who pampered her and even sent her to school here turned into a creepy man. You could see the hatred in his
The clock struck five in the morning, and Mona woke up and sat up in bed. Eyes swollen, she picked up the small mirror on the nightstand and looked at her reflection. Her chest felt tight again, and yesterday's events immediately came to mind."It wasn't a dream," Mona mentally exclaimed softly."I used to admire you, Sister," Mona muttered under her breath."But not now, you bastard subjugated me to replace you," Mona continued holding the mirror tightly."What should I do...," Mona's words were cut short by Arka's shouting at her door."Mona hurry up and make me breakfast!" Arka shouted and the man walked away to the dining table, sitting on a chair playing with his cell phone.Mona quickly got up to put the mirror away and smoothed her hair just enough to tie it together. Stepped into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. After finishing, she immediately went to the kitchen to cook."Next time wake up early and prepare breakfast!" Arka ordered without looking at Mona w
Morning rolled around quickly, the clock had already struck half past four in the afternoon. Mona was at home doing household chores, lifting the clothesline, and then hurrying to cook a meal. Sweat flooded her forehead, exhaustion attacking her body because after coming home from school she immediately did her chores."Ahhhhh, finally done too. I have to take a shower, my body is so sticky," Mona monologued and then entered the room and performed the ritual of cleaning herself.After taking a shower Mona went to the living room, waiting for Arka while lying on the sofa. Slowly she drifted off, exhausted, into dreamland until the clock finally struck seven. The doorbell rang but she was still asleep, irritably Arka took the spare key from the car and opened the door. "Where's that damn girl!" Arka cursed, stepping wide and then her eyes caught Mona fast asleep on the sofa."Damn it! This girl is sleeping so well," Arka growled and kicked Mona's leg, startling the girl into sitting up
