The Dilemma in Silence
The Lies of Out of Town Work

🌿🌿🌿

Sonia takes Malini with her two children to one of the wedding halls in the middle of the city. They enter while holding the twins, Jian holds Malini's hand, while Jenaka holds Sonia's hand. 

After entering the building, they saw many invited guests already present. Malini's eyes went around seeing the large number of people present and the beautiful and luxurious decoration of the building. 

"Ma! Want it!" Joke pointed to the cake that was on the table, which was in the corner of such a spacious hall. 

"Come on! Don't bother your Mama. Just come with Aunt" said Sonia and invited the two of them to leave Malini alone.

Malini followed them from behind, But, her newly stepped foot suddenly stopped because it felt like urinating. Malini set her sights on the door next to the door, which led to the back, where the toilet was. A lot of people came in and out of the toilets there. Malini set her foot toward the door, which was about 30 meters from her position. In the middle of his foot stepped, his eyes were watching the surroundings, looking at the smiles on the lips of everyone present. Her feet stopped back with a shocked look after seeing Hudda standing with Yuna and talking to some people in neat clothes. They stood about 10 meters away from his position.

"Mas Hudda," said Malini inwardly and stopped stepping.

For a moment Malini's body was still stiff. He remembered Hudda's words this morning. The man lied to her. 

Malini took the phone from her wallet and dialed Hudda's phone number. The phone rang directly on Hudda's phone. The man's smile diminished and turned to look at Yuna who was standing beside him. Hudda's expression looked a little shocked after seeing the phone call coming in. Hudda rushed out of the building to avoid the crowds.

"Hello?" 

"Mas. Have you arrived yet? You're okay, right?" Malini pretended not to know. 

"Yes. Sorry, I'm a little late in answering your phone. He was talking to Mr. Damar outside the hotel. You're okay, right? Which kids?" ask Hudda, pleasantries.

"good. Then you continue to talk. I hung up" said Malini and cut off the phone.

Malini looked at Hudda who was still standing outside the building and was seen from the door of the building that was wide open. The man stood with his body turned to the door.  Malini's hand clasped her phone tightly with both balls glazed over to cry. 

"Mom Malini," said Rangga who saw it from the pelaminan.

Rangga, a new employee at Hudda's company was also there. He is the family of the groom who is currently standing in the pelaminan is congratulating the two brides. Rangga turned his gaze towards Hudda standing earlier, he saw Hudda and Yuna coming to the event. Rangga's eyes searched for Hudda's form, but did not see her and only saw Yuna talking with some men. Rangga's facial complexion was a little relieved because he thought Malini was not aware that Hudda was there with Yuna. 

Rangga walked down the stairs and approached Malini who was standing behind him.

"You lied to me, Mas" said Malini inwardly with tears that eventually fell.

Malini turned her body back, intending to continue the step to the toilet, while also wanting to calm her feelings. However, her body immediately found Rangga's body and made her body step back one step and almost fall because her high heels stepped on her dress. Rangga moved quickly to hold his body, his right hand wrapped around Malini's right waist and his left hand was on the woman's back. For a moment their eyes stared at each other. Rangga could not deny that the woman who had an age of eight years older than him was so beautiful. 

"sorry. And, thank you," said Malini, standing right. 

"You. You were the one at that time, right? Thank you" said Malini, again. 

"Yes, Buk. I am Rangga, a new employee at Pak Hudda company. Nice to meet you," Rangga said and smiled. 

"Yes. Oh, I'd like to go to the toilet for a while" said Malini and continued the steps toward the toilet. 

Rangga noticed Malini's departure until the woman was not seen again. Then, he rolled his eyes and his body looked for Hudda's form and saw the man walking closer to Yuna and the others. Rangga thought of a way to keep them from meeting, he was afraid that Malini was disappointed with Hudda and Yuna's affair. Rangga walked up to them with a smile. 

"You're the new employee, right?" yuna asked with a smile.

"Yes, Miss Yuna," Rangga replied with a friendly smile.

Rangga spoke with them with his eyes occasionally leading to the door that took people to the toilet. Rangga plans to control Hudda and Malini so as not to meet each other with her always with Hudda. 

After coming out of the toilet, Malini returned to the hall with the intention of going back home, leaving the place. His eyes immediately led to the position where Hudda had stood before, he saw Hudda was there, as well as Rangga. 

"Working in the company of Mr. Hudda is indeed a challenge," said Rangga, not yet aware Malini was out of the toilet.

"thank you. Hopefully you feel at home and can help me develop the company" Hudda said, patting her on the back.

Rangga nodded his head and smiled. Rangga looked to the side. Her smile faded after seeing Malini directing her eyes at Hudda. However, Hudda or Yuna are not aware of her existence. Malini also did not realize that Rangga was watching her, seeing her sad face. 

"My heart was really badly injured" said Malini and continued walking toward Sonia who was still taking Jian and Jenaka to eat the cakes on the table, which was located not far from the entrance. 

"Buk Malini saw it? But why is he silent? Does he know? No. gabe. Maybe he thought that they came as work partners," Rangga said in his heart with a dumb-ass face.

"What's wrong?" yuna asked after patting Rangga on the shoulder. 

"No. I'm leaving, sir! Ma! There is other business," said Rangga with a fake smile to hide his confusion. 

Rangga intends to approach Malini to ascertain the truth that makes him confused. After her legs were about to take a few more steps towards the woman, Malini walked out of the building with her two children after speaking with Sonia. Malini tells Sonia to return home by lying to visit her suddenly ill mother. So, Sonia could not intercept him to leave. 

"Mrs Malini!" call Rangga while running towards Malini who is standing waiting for a taxi on the side of the road. 

Malini looked back and wiped her tears. Her two children were confused to see her cheerful mother crying in front of them for the first time. Rangga stopped running after standing in front of the woman, he looked at the cry that was still visible in Malini's eyes. Then, Rangga noticed the two boys standing on the left and right of Malini's body with concerned faces looking at the confusion of the two children. 

"Hud seen it? Mother crying? I can't hide from me" Rangga said.

"You mean, what?" Malini showed a confused look in the pretense. 

"Between Buk Yuna and Pak Hudda," said Rangga.

Malini's tears trickled after learning that someone else knew about her husband and Yuna's affair. Malini immediately threw away the faces of her two children and wiped away the tears that had endlessly fallen on her cheeks. 

"Kids, you guys get in Om's car, huh? That black car is a car. There is plenty of food there. Let's go over there?" tell Rangga by pushing the backs of the two children. 

Malini's crying broke. He could not hide his sadness. Rangga felt pity to see the deep sadness from the look in his eyes. Rangga could not bear to see it, he was hurt to see the woman was hurt. Rangga ventured to hug him and brushed off Malini's back. 

"The bus should be strong," Rangga said in a soft voice.

A woman in a party dress photographed them from a car not far from their position. The woman had long, wavy hair. His lips smiled cunningly with an evil idea already on his mind.
