ELECTORAL MAN

ELECTORAL MAN
Surprise in the middle of the night


He had just replied to my message ahead of Maghrib, when I had just arrived home. This afternoon, I stopped by Mom's house. Mom made my favorite chicken stew. We ate and talked for a long time. Mom asked me again if me and the Baldies were okay? I would love to tell you the truth, but I don't have the heart. Moreover, seeing the expression of Mother's face that looks sumringah this afternoon. Can't bear to feel, if the smile and face suddenly disappear.


This afternoon, my mother's house was crowded. Lesti and Nira, my two married sisters, came to stay overnight from yesterday with their children. The atmosphere of the house grew boisterous as my nieces joked and ran to and fro.


I'm sorry I was meeting....I've thought about that too, Nis. You're right, Meylan and I seem hard to point to. I also don't know why he changed so quickly. But let time do the talking. Obviously, I will always be waiting for him. Until whenever this heart will always be his. For now, I ask you to be patient...


You just calm down. I will not break a promise. I'll think about his strategy. And I'm asking you to please, don't tell this to Mama or Bu Endang. Let me talk to them later. All this madness is my idea, so I'll take responsibility. Again, I'm sorry Nis.....


A surprising message. Again, I can only brush my chest. There was no signal that he would ask me to stay in the house and replace Meylan in his heart... Again, it's all just a fantasy. Duh, Ninis..until when will you be shackled by delusion? the reality faced is cruel. He was still very much expecting the woman. Even though he had been hurt, still only Meylan and Meylan were in his heart.


...****************...


The sound of knocking on the door was getting louder. I woke up from sleep. Huh, who the hell. What the hell is the Bald? but he had his own key. He can enter at any time without having to bang on the door. Is it possible to steal or rob? I started to shake in fear. Did I call the security guard in front of the compound? I started reaching for the phone, and where the hell is my phone? panic started running all over my body. I've never been this scared.


I quickly opened the door. Oh my God, what is this? The baldy came home drunk. Two men then went home. I forgot to say thank you. Who are they, huh? maybe they're friends of the Bald. The Bald one drooped on the sofa, the smell of alcohol was so strong it smelled. I became afraid. I've never faced a drunk like this. Do I just go in the room?


I had not yet set foot, and immediately the Bald Hand grabbed my arm. I jerked. I pulled my body to get closer to him. His mouth was getting more and more indistinct laughter. He repeatedly called it Meylan. I try to calm down. I let him hold my body.


He got up from the sofa and while continuing to hold me, headed to the room I used to occupy. My blood rippled. His eyes continued to stare at me with a wild look full of lust. Duh, I got more scared, wanted me to let go of her embrace but she was so strong. Suddenly everything happened. Like a speeding jet coaster, it just happens. Tonight he took everything from me. Nothing left.


My feelings are mixed. Duh Gusti, why does it have to be like this? in a drunken condition, his desire suddenly appeared and he thought I was Meylan, and everything happened. I have no power to let go of his embrace. I don't know, because I want it too? however, legally he is my husband and he is entitled to my body.


He would be very surprised when he realized later, when he found out that the woman he had just slept with was me and not Meylan. Hmmm.....Could this be a weapon for me to get him? if in soap operas or movies, it can really be. Especially if I'm pregnant, hehehe. But ah, I don't want to expect more.


Seriate.
