''Honey I'm going to a meeting with Roy, emmuach.'' Said my husband who was saying goodbye to me to leave.
''Yes, honey, be careful on the road, you don't have to come home at night.'' I said while feeding my baby Mellysa.
''Yes sweetheart, I'll go first. Bye baby, bye beautiful daddy's girl.'' My husband said and immediately left me.
''Bye Daddy.'' My daughter Michelle said while waving her hand.
Not long after, my mother-in-law came to visit me at the hospital.
''Hey honey, come here with grandma.'' Said my mother-in-law who immediately hugged my daughter Michelle.
''Mommy, thank you for visiting me at the hospital.'' I said while shaking hands with my mother-in-law.
''Cristian where is he, why isn't he here? My mother-in-law asked me where my husband was.
''Oh Cristian had a meeting with Roy mom, he'll be back tonight.'' I said to my mother-in-law.
''Why do you notice now that Cristian rarely pays attention to you anymore? You guys are having problems at home.'' Said my mother-in-law who was curious about my marital relationship.
''No mom, it's just that for some reason now Cristian likes to come home late at night. I suspect that he is having an affair behind my back.'' I said as I told my mother-in-law about my husband.
I thought my mother-in-law would blame Cristian. But my mother-in-law insulted me again.
''How can he stay at home Jeniffer, you haven't even given him a son yet. Plus, your body looks fat now. As a wife, you should be able to take care of yourself, so Cristian won't be tempted by other women. And don't be wasteful with your money, Cristian works from morning to night, but you spend all his money." My mother-in-law always blamed me.
I could only stay silent and cry listening to my mother-in-law who had been insulting me like that. It felt like I was no longer strong enough to be married to my husband. But I still felt sorry for the fate of my children later if I chose to divorce my husband. I don't want my children to experience a broken home.
As much as possible, I will maintain my relationship with Cristian. Even though I was already mentally destroyed by my mother-in-law's words and my husband's treatment.
In the afternoon, Cristian and his mistress Stella went to Cristian's favorite cafe. Unintentionally, my mother-in-law was also at the cafe.
''Cristian, are you here?" said my mother-in-law who was surprised to see Cristian and Stella together in the cafe.
''Why is mommy here, please don't tell Jeniffer. '' Cristian said, asking my mother-in-law not to tell me.
''Yes, this is not Stella, your ex-girlfriend from college.'' My mother-in-law said to Cristian.
''Hey auntie, how are you? You're getting prettier and prettier.'' Stella said, trying to get my mother-in-law's attention.
''Yes, thank you, dear. Cristian, it's true that you've been having an affair with Stella all this time. '' Said my mother-in-law who was happy to be praised by Stella.
''Yes mom, because I don't love Jeniffer anymore. Especially since Jeniffer hasn't been able to give me a son yet. Plus her body shape is now very fat, so it makes me feel ashamed to have a wife like her. "I'm sorry mom. Said my husband who was blaming me to his mother.
I thought my mother-in-law would defend me and scold her son Cristi for having an affair with another woman. But it turned out that my mother-in-law was supporting their relationship behind my back.
''Yes dear, mommy can understand what you are feeling. Mommy will not tell you about your affair with Stella. Instead, Mommy thinks that if Jeniffer can't give you a son, it's better for Stella to take her place as your wife.'' My mother-in-law said to them.
''Thank you mom, you have always been able to understand my feelings.'' Said my husband who was happy that his relationship with Stella had been approved.
They have all betrayed me all this time, what kind of mother-in-law is that. Who let her son hurt the mother of her grandchildren. Now my husband and Stella could freely have an affair, because my mother-in-law had allowed it.
In the evening my husband finally came to the hospital. I saw that he seemed to be feeling happy.
''Darling you're very happy. How about your meeting this afternoon with Roy.'' I said to my husband.
''Everything went well dear, so now you rest first. The doctor said tomorrow you can be brought home.
'' You're serious honey, I can finally go back home. The problem is I don't feel at home here.'' I said who immediately went to sleep.
The next morning I was finally able to return home. Arriving home, I suddenly saw a paper payment for the purchase of a Hermes bag in my husband's pants pocket. I immediately tried to ask my husband who was sitting reading a book in the family room.
Degh.... My heart felt uneasy. I hoped my husband wasn't buying an expensive bag for his mistress.
''Honey, whose Hermes bag is this? I said while looking sharply at my husband.
''Oh that's my friend Roy's, maybe I brought it yesterday when I met him.'' Said my husband who was a little worried.
''You're not lying to me, honey. You know I hate being lied to, let alone cheated on." I said, immediately leaving my husband.
In the evening my husband wanted to go out again, and I tried to prevent him from leaving the house.
''Honey where are you going again, lately I've noticed that you're rarely at home. The children need attention from you, dear.'' I said trying to forbid my husband.
''The wife's job is to look after the children at home, and the husband's job is just to earn money for the needs of the house. What's wrong with you, Jeniffer, now that you're getting angry like that.'' Cristian said that he didn't want to be forbidden by me.
''You've really changed, Cristian. You're not the husband I used to know, so please go and play outside with your friends. Leave us at home without getting any more attention from you.'' I said, starting to feel angry with the words that Cristian had just said.
Finally, Cristian listened to me and did not go out that night.
Tringg..... The sound of my husband's phone.
''Who is calling you at night, dear. '' I said, feeling curious.
''It's just an office person, so I'll pick up the phone outside first.'' Said my husband who wanted to leave my room.
For some reason that night my emotions were unstoppable. I got out of bed and grabbed my husband's cell phone.
''Give me back my phone Jeniffer, why are you going crazy like this? Cristian was very angry with me because I took his cell phone from his hand.
''Cristian, I've been patient with your indifference towards me for a long time. But please don't lie to me again this time.'' I said with tears in my eyes.
"What do you mean? Let's hear whose voice is on the phone first. Crstian said to me.
I immediately looked at my cell phone and listened to the voice of the person who had just called my husband.
''Hello, Jeniffer this is Roy. I'm sorry if I'm disturbing your time at night.'' Roy, my husband's friend, said.
It just so happened that this time it was my husband's friend Roy who was calling my husband. So that night my husband's lie was not exposed.
''It's a good thing Roy called me. Otherwise I would have been caught cheating on my husband with Stella all this time." Cristian said to himself.
''Honey, I'm sorry, all this time I thought that the person who called you and sent you wattsap messages that night was your affair. But I was wrong.'' I said trying to apologize to my husband who was now angry with me.
''Alright tonight I want to sleep in the next room, so I'm lazy to sleep in this room.'' Said my husband who immediately went into the next room.
