The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Retaliation

Happy reading!

At the time I was just about to end all thoughts about my suspicions towards Mas Denis and Almira, all of a sudden it came back when Mas Denis offered me something that choked on the fried rice I just put in my mouth. I ended the first meal by drinking a glass of water.

"What, Mas? You want to be with Mira?" I asked by linking the two eyebrows so deeply. Mas Denis should be able to guess right away if I don't agree on what he's offering my twin sister.

"Why, Lissa? How do you not agree anyway? Though not good. So, Mira can save on the cost to go to campus."

"But, Ma'am .. as far as I know Mas Denis' workplace and Mira's campus are not in the same direction. I'm afraid Denis will be late for work." I reasoned so that my mother supported my rejection of Mas Denis' offer that really made the mind more unsettled.

"You take it easy, Lissa! After all, it was your own husband who offered Mira. That means Denis knows he won't be late. Isn't that right, Denis?"

I didn't feel like I was picking up after hearing those words. Especially when Mas Denis justifies what my mother asked.

"Yes, Mom." Denis smiled after answering the question. Then, averted his eyes by looking at me who was increasingly restless because he did not expect that my husband would take Almira to go with him. "At the same time I just turned no more than 800 meters to return to my route to the office from the Mira campus. So, you don't have to worry, honey! This morning, I also have no office business that is too urgent because the meeting schedule with new clients will start at 11 pm."

I just kept quiet without being able to say anything more. On the one hand, I still disagree on whatever Mas Denis' reasoning is. But, I was completely helpless because in front of my mother, I couldn't possibly have banned her.

Amidst my annoyance, I suddenly began to feel a pain so wrapped around my stomach. The pain even made my eyes water. "Oh my God, why is my stomach hurting like this?" I squeezed my stomach quite tightly. Resisting pain that spreads throughout the body. Without asking questions from Mas Denis and my mother, I got up from my sitting position and left the dining room. Of course my goal is only one, which is a bathroom that happens to be only a few steps away from the dining room. But as I passed by Almira, I saw her smiling cynically at me. It seems like he knows what really happened to me.

In the bathroom, I felt an excruciating pain in my stomach. A sudden pain pulled my memory far back. Just the moment I mixed the gynecologist into my sister's food until Almira lost her fetus. He almost lost his life in so much pain.

"Was he replying to me for what I did at the time? Mira is outrageous. He could have put something in the fried rice that I ate to avenge him."

Suddenly Mira's voice came from the front door and it really surprised me because she was showing anxiety over what happened to me. "Sister, what's wrong with you? Do I need to call a doctor?"

I also started thinking. Twisted my brain hard and assumed that all his attention was just part of his plan. "You don't pretend you don't know, Mira! You're the one who made me like this? Oh, I'm so, Mira!" I said it out loud because it was so hard to hold back the anger towards my twin sister at this time.

For a few seconds, Mira just stayed in front of the bathroom. There was not a word spoken from his mouth until my frustration grew. "Basar sister doesn't know herself! Why did you do all this to your own brother?"

Instantly, Almira's loud voice began to be heard, although it might be like being held back. Maybe he didn't want to if his pleasure when he hurt me until it was known by his mother and Mas Denis. "If you say I have the heart, how are you, brother? Why do you care about your own sister? Should I call you a murderer for making an innocent fetus lose its life?"

The words seemed to slap hard on my face. I fell silent without being able to reply to her words and was busy enduring the pain in my stomach while thinking that what Almira said was true. It all started with my mistake. I started it and right now, I feel like I'm getting karma for all my mistakes.
