The Dilemma in Silence
The Hotel Victoria

🌿🌿🌿

Hudda walked out of the bathroom in a kimono towel, her feet slowly stepping towards Malini who was playing a laptop on her lap. His wife sat with her legs extended forward with red pajamas attached to her body.

"Tonight it's time to spend some time together." Hudda pulled the laptop and put it on the table. 

"My work isn't done yet, Mom. I'm going to work tomorrow. Tonight I'll set a schedule for me and the kids too. Tomorrow there will be a maid who will take care of them." Malini took the laptop back. 

"Are you sure you're gonna work? We don't have a shortage of money." Hudda doubts his wife's decision.

Malini just smiled and nodded her head. The woman played the laptop keyboard and ignored Hudda who was still standing next to her. The man pulled the laptop back and put it on the table. After that, he laid his wife's body and acted coercively, inviting Malini to have sex with her. 

"Why do I feel like you're avoiding me?" asked Hudda with a confused frown.

"Mas .. I told you I have a job. Later, I'm busy. Just midnight, how?" Malini smiled seductively to hide the emotions that had appeared.

"I have business. Ten o'clock I'll meet an old friend outside and probably come back in the morning" Hudda replied, recalling Yuna's request today. 

Malini stopped her typing hands on the laptop keyboard, for a moment she fell silent while recalling Hudda and Yuna's conversation today that she heard secretly. His heart was back in tightness, like being hit by something so heavy. 

"Then you can leave now. Don't be too late back. After that, we'll do it." Malini looked at him with a big smile until both of her cheeks rose.

Hudda silently thought about Malini, she felt that what her wife said could be done. Hudda nodded her head and smiled, her hand landing on Malini's shoulder and walking towards the closet. Sometimes Malini noticed it, observing Hudda who was tidying her hair to wear a stinging perfume.

"Then I go now" said Hudda, taking a suit on the table and wearing it. 

Hudda approached him and gave him a kiss on his forehead. Then, the man came out of the room. Malini got up from the bed, picked up her jacket and put it on. Returning, he took his cell phone and car keys off the desk and rushed out of the house. His car came out of the yard and was driven to follow Hudda's car secretly. 

"Mad Malini." Rangga runs into Malini on the highway.

Rangga turned around and followed Malini's car after seeing Hudda's car which also passed her. He felt that something had happened, especially after seeing Malini who seemed to be in a hurry to not see it. Now they follow each other in unconsciousness.

Hudda's car goes into Victoria's hotel grounds. Malini stepped on the brakes, stopped her car on the side of the road. Rangga is like that too. 

"Mom Line!" call Rangga while running towards Malini who is about to walk after getting out of the car.

"Rangga," she was shocked.

"Mas Hudda will meet the woman inside. They'll …." Malini hung up her words for imagining her husband and Yuna acting indecently.

"Silent. Let's see them. Come on!" Rangga grabbed her shoulder and invited her into the hotel. 

Rangga approached the hotel receptionist with Malini standing in the corner of the hotel lobby. He found out Hudda's whereabouts by asking the hotel receptionist. Malini watched them from afar, seeing the communication between Rangga and the female receptionist.

After speaking, Rangga approached Malini.

"They are in room ten" said Rangga. 

Malini rushed into the elevator next to her. His legs could not walk slowly as he could not resist the patience to see them intercept. However, after arriving in front of room number ten, his mind went dead-end, he did not know how to act. 

"What else? Just come in," said Rangga, also seemed emotional. 

Malini's eyes found the form of Anisa who had just come out of a room on the same floor. Secretary Hudda came out with her newly married husband six months ago. Seeing her got Malini the idea. 

Malini quickly intercepted him into the elevator. 

"Can I talk for a minute? Four eyes" said Malini.

Anisa turned to the side, looking at her husband. The man of higher stature than him smiled and understood the gaze of the wife. The man walks into the elevator, leaving Anisa with Malini. Then Rangga approached them. 

Malini asks Anisa for help to get involved in the charade she makes later. Malini told me all the plans she had made to find Hudda and Yuna in the room. 

Anisa was a little hesitant about her plan, but the woman still tried and agreed to it.

"Rangga, you can also join our plan" Malini said. 

The man nodded his head and smiled.

About five minutes later, Malini began his plan. He knocked on the number ten door in a neat dress and a bag hung on his shoulders. The clothes she used when it belonged to Anisa, it just so happened that the woman kept her clothes in her hotel room. 

After knocking on the door a few times, someone opened the door. The man who opened it was a hotel maid. The appearance of the hotel maid woman made Malini a little confused. 

"Mrs …!" call Malini while barging into that hotel room.

The room was empty. His eyes scoured every side of the room and saw no one there. However, the sense of hearing captures the sound of living water faucets from the bathroom. His feet came straight to the bathroom door and clasped the door. 

"Don't! You who?" The waiter held his hand open the door. 

"I? I'm his friend," replied Malini, emotion. 

Malini's hand slipped off the door leaf after sensing someone opening it from inside. 

"Darling …!" Yuna came out of the bathroom in a white kimono towel.

The woman was speechless with wide eyes shocked to see Malini standing before her. Then, his eyes turned towards the door of the room to see Hudda just enter and come to stand frozen to see Malini in the room. 

Malini turned her head left and right, watching them alternately with a cold expression. Then, she walked up to Hudda, standing before her husband who was standing with his head bowed.

"Old friend. Continue on!" Malini brushed Hudda's shoulder off and her legs continued to walk out of the room. 

Hudda followed him, she tried to give him an explanation. 

"I don't have any relationship with Yuna. We're just regular friends. I met him just because of work. I'm …." Hudda hung up her words after entering the hotel room where Anisa and Rangga were sitting on the sofa with some work files on the table. 

"I never said you and she had a relationship. Don't you want to meet your friend? Go then! I have a job, too." Malini spoke casually and continued to walk up to her two friends until she sat down with them. 

Hudda is confused.  Will she go back to Yuna's room or talk to Malini, even though she is relaxed as if there is no anger on her face. However, he still felt that there was a strange attitude from his wife that made him sweat cold and unsettled.

"Go! Don't tell me you really have a relationship with her?" Malini smiled by inviting Anisa and Rangga to smile, as if they were asking Hudda to joke.

Hudda smiled and twisted her body against them with a feeling of still being overwhelmed by confusion. Whether his wife knew and was angry or his wife did not think that she was double. Hudda's feet continued to walk out of the room with slow steps towards Yuna's room.
