Raisa was now heading home, glancing at Auntie Iyem and Anya already asleep. They came home quite late in the afternoon and almost at night, because soon the sun would not show its existence.Raisa let out a rough breath, feeling guilty about what had happened today. Raisa seemed to have betrayed Arka, her husband. But looking back, it was Raisa who was hurt, if her husband hadn't started first there was no way Raisa would have been happy to meet Nazril."Again I blame myself," Raisa muttered like a fool for repeatedly blaming herself. Along the way, Raisa chose to play poetry, because Raisa had always liked to write, especially with poetry, so Nazril read a poem when handing Raisa a bouquet of flowers. The woman smiled again, then played a poem in her car."In the silence of the night, I sat alone, Reminiscing about the past that was so beautiful. The memories are like the stars in the sky, Bright and never fading.I miss my mom's smile in the morning, my dad's warm embrace when I co
That night after her meeting with Nazril and telling him everything that had been bothering her, Raisa was quite happy. She didn't have such a heavy burden in her life. Even now, she followed her loneliness without a husband at home."It feels so good when Arka's not around. I'm sick of seeing her all this time, pretending to be a loving wife and child, but the reality is so far different," Raisa murmured softly. She was afraid of disturbing her daughter's sleep and Aunt Iyem's. That night Aunt Iyem decided to stay longer with Raisa, until it was time for Arka to return."Thank you for your help. I owe you a lot," Raisa said quietly as she looked at Aunt Iyem's sleeping face.Raisa smiled slightly, as if she felt the presence of her parents again."Maybe you wouldn't let your daughter feel this sad, if you knew the truth," Raisa murmured, lamenting her fate of being a single mother, with only one daughter. The husband she wanted was even cheating on her with their next-door neighbor.
Raisa's eyes only closed at around 3am. Before that she was busy organizing her heart and mind, most likely tomorrow morning her husband would return home. After the gastric surgery that almost took his life.“Good morning,” Aunt Iyem said to Raisa who sat pensively on the porch. This time she was as usual, putting on a happy face as she waited for her regular cake seller.“Are you waiting for someone?” asked Aunt Iyem, approaching Raisa while holding Anya, who had just woken up. Raisa's daughter was very beautiful, she had inherited Raisa's dark eyes and beautiful face.Raisa nodded, “Yes. It looks like the cake seller was a little late, or didn't sell,” Raisa replied, occasionally looking at the road in front of her house.Not long after chatting with the old woman, the cake seller she had been waiting for appeared in front of Raisa's house.“There he is,” Raisa said happily, immediately walking to the front of the house to approach the cake seller.“Good morning, sorry for waiting
Raisa put on a sad face, she was about to start acting that day. Actually, Raisa had prepared all the scenarios to make her feel upset by using her mother-in-law.“I'm sorry. Actually, Anya was a bit cranky last night, so I didn't have time to cook. I thought it would be better to order food online so you guys can eat on time,” Raisa replied with a sad face.The woman lowered her head. She didn't want to lose this time, she had to try to look like the saddest and most painful person.“Just excuse it,” said Raisa's father-in-law who didn't like her answer.“Sir! What's wrong with you? At least respect Raisa who is tired of taking care of her household and children,” defended Raisa's mother-in-law. The woman actually did like Raisa more than Maya. She would even agree if Arka stayed with Raisa.“Keep defending yourself, you're the one who doesn't want to accept other people,” replied Raisa's father-in-law who almost let slip.All eyes were on Raisa's father-in-law. Especially Arka, who

They married after a long relationship, and lived happily in their household.However, their happiness began to suffer when the husband began to change.

Isti felt like she had been stabbed by a sharp knife, as if her world had collapsed in an instant.The wife tried to keep her composure and asked about her husband's condition in a trembling voice. However, her husband only replied sarcastic
Raisa was still sitting pensively on the living room sofa. She was still enjoying reading a stack of novels. Even though the time has already shown 2 am. Raisa's therapy is still excited and continues to read the next page. She really enjoyed the role.“Why didn't I do this a long time ago. Get involved, it's even fun,” Raisa muttered with a chuckle. She shook her head, staring in wonder at herself for taking care of the household with all her might, but what did she get? Only misery.Raisa continued reading again about a husband's infidelity. It seemed very suitable for Raisa's current life.“I think this story reflects my life right now,” Raisa muttered with a rough exhale.A woman sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes glued to the bright screen of her phone. Silently, she scrolled through messages that revealed a long-hidden great secret. The messages reveal secret communications between her husband and another woman, a woman who is not her.When she first discovered the messages, h

Raisa is still faithfully reading the novel, some stories are compared with her own life story.“If only Arka was like Arman, who immediately apologized and forgot Maya. But that's impossible. This is a story with a set plot, and my life?” Raisa smiled wryly. She had swallowed the bitter truth. Raisa returned to the real world, it was already 5am. Raisa was suddenly sleepy. She went into her room to visit her daughter who was fast asleep. Raisa smiled a little, then kissed her daughter's cheek.“Sleep well, dear. Mommy is always there for you,” Raisa murmured softly next to her daughter's ear. Suddenly Anya squirmed softly and fell asleep again. Seeing that, Raisa was very happy even though her life was not good, but at least she still had a very beautiful daughter. Raisa was grateful for that.She lay down right next to her husband, Arka. The man seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Raisa took a quick look at her husband's face before drifting off into a dream.“Why are you being so m
