TEMPTRESS

"You don't think long, do you, Ti? You've ruined someone else's household!"

Masayu looked at her sister-in-law sharply. She glanced at her husband's Faith as if asking for support.

Faith took a deep breath.

"What your sister said is true. You went to Bandung to continue your studies. Not to seduce people's husbands. If you knew that, yesterday i would not give you permission to continue your studies in Bandung," said Iman.

He was silent, looking at her brother and sister-in-law fearfully. In his heart, indeed he confirmed his brother's words. But on the other hand, she has also fallen in love with Gilang. After all, both Gilang's parents agreed. Even Gilang and Fahira are officially divorced.

"But, they are divorced, Sist," Hesti evaded.

"Yes, because of you! Try it if you don't serve it, he definitely won't want to tease you! His parents are also strange, how come they let their children cheat."

"Yes, then how about now , their position is that they want to apply. And again they also know about my relationship with Gilang."

"Yes, we are, it's up to you, Wes! But, you shouldn't hurt your child, okay. You're the one who made the parents separate," added Iman.

"One more thing, remember what you said. I don't want to swear. If he could cheat now, it's not impossible that when he finds someone much better than you he will turn away."

"Duh, Ma'am, what is this? Don't be afraid, please," she protested angrily.

"Miss, speak the truth. Iam is a man, so you know what the nature of the man is. Our parents before they died entrusted you to me. How are you going to be responsible?"

Finally, with a heavy heart, Iman agreed to the proposal from the Gilang family. And 3 months later, their wedding and reception were held.

The happiest is Endang, Gilang's mother. Indeed, Endang's relationship with Fahira is not very good. Endang often insinuates Fahira because of Fahira's educational background.

And after the reception, Gilang and Hesti decided to go on their honeymoon to Bali. Because it also happens that Gilang and his friends will hold a painting exhibition in Kuta Bali. Gilang is a painter, it is his hobby since high school. However, he did this work only once in a while. Because Amar has entrusted his business to Gilang.

"Grandmother, where is my mom going?' Kamania asked Endang.

"Your mama, aunt Hesti now," replied Endang to her grandson.

"Where's Mommy?" asked the little boy, pulling the end of the negligee worn by Endang.

"Your mother doesn't love you anymore. Now, there's Mama Hesti," persuaded Endang.

"Nia doesn't want Grandmother, Aunt Hesti is not Nia's mother," said Kamania, stomping his feet and starting to cry.

"Anyway, Nia's mother is Hesti's aunt, you understand!" snapped Endang annoyed. Of course, it made the little 2.5-year old girl scream and cry.

Hearing the sound of his grandson's cry, Amar immediately approached. The man in his 50s stared intently at his wife, asking for an explanation.

"This is it, Honey. This Kamania, his mother keeps asking. It's been four months how come he hasn't forgotten his mother. I want her to forget Fahira," said Endang explaining.

"Yes, it can't be like that, Mom. Shes name is a child, don't force it. Come on, Nia and Grandma are here. Grandmother Uti isn't cool, is it? We'll buy Nia's favorite chocolate and ice cream," Amar coaxed his granddaughter.

After going on their honeymoon, Hesti and Gilang returned to their usual routine. That day, Hesti happened to have to finish some letters on campus for her graduation.

"Where are you going, Ti?" asked Endang who was feeding Kamania a meal.

"To campus, ma'am. Next week, I'm graduating. What's the matter, ma'am?

"Gilang know you want to go?"

"Yes ma'am, this morning before he left for work, I said goodbye."

"Don't be long, as soon as your business is done, go home immediately."

She just nodded, without saying hello again. She didn't care what else to say goodbye to Kamania.

"Eh, daughter-in-law is insolent! Just being a daughter-in-law, it's not polite. This too, the child is not taken care of, she's just busy with his business," Endang grumbled.

"Grandmother why?"

"Small children don't have to be confused," replied Endang curtly.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" asked Ammar who had just returned and found his wife pouting.

"That's it, Hesti. Since coming home from honeymoon, her work has only been pleasant. It's just that there is a maid in this house. Never helps me in the kitchen, even though she knows that our maid never asks her to cook. Nia also she never took care of it properly. Even though her mother wanted her to take care of Nia, so her wouldn't ask Fahira all the time."

"You know, yesterday, you wanted to have your own educated daughter-in-law, right?" said Ammar as he sat down and started to turn on the television.

"This father... if you complain, you will never be heard."

"Well, who didn't hear? Do you remember when Fahira complained that Gilang was cheating on him with Hesti, she was the one who agreed first. Mother said it was good for Gilang and Hesti."

"Well, I thought-"

"What do you think?"

"Yes, I think that Fahira's education is not high, Honey. We are a family of businessmen, ashamed of business relations."

Amar just shook his head at his wife's chatter. Amar is the type of husband who depends on what the wife says. Because he's too lazy to argue. Although giving advice his wife will make decisions according to what he wants.

"Grandmother, why isn't Nia's mother home too? Where is Mama going?"

"Nia dear, Nia's mother is working. Later when Nia is in school, she is smart, mom will come home. So, now Nia has to obey grandparents Kung and Uti," answered Amar.

Instantly the little girl's face clouded. She was holding back tears. There were a thousand questions about his mother that he hadn't seen in months.

As usual, Gilang came home in the afternoon. After taking a shower he took the time to go to his daughter's room Kamania. When Gilang entered, Kamania was playing with dolls alone.

"Nia why do you playing alone?" Gilan asked.

"Everyone is busy, no one pays attention to Nia. I want to be with mom, but mom doesn't come home," replied the little girl.

Gilang is silent, to this day he is still confused about how to explain to Kamania about Fahira.

"That's it. Nia plays first, okay, soon we'll eat dinner together."

Gilang went to find his mother Endang. As usual in the afternoon, Endang was in the kitchen preparing dinner with Atun, their longtime maid.

"Are you home yet? Your wife hasn't come yet," said Endang when she saw Gilang enter the kitchen.

"What time does Hesti leave, ma'am?"

"Since noon. She's… I didn't ask her to be a slave in this house. But, can't you get up early? Prepare your husband and children's needs."

Gilan took a deep breath. He had only been married a month, problems had arisen. She came home, just as they were having dinner. Seeing his daughter-in-law come home, Endang just pouted in annoyance.

"Just got home, Ti?" said Amar to his son-in-law.

"Yes sir, sorry to come home a bit late. God willing, i will graduate next Monday. Later ... everyone will come, okay," answered Hesti as she sat down at the dining table.

"What is graduation, Mama Hesti?" asked Kamania.

"Graduation is a sign that I have graduated as a student," answered Hesti, who sounded a bit curt.

"She only ask questions, don't be curt, Nia is still small. It's not even been three years," said Endang, finally speaking up.

Endang doesn't like Fahira, but she loves Kamania.

"Ah, never mind I'm full, first," to see his mother who was ready to fight, Gilang chose to finish eating and immediately went to his room.

Meanwhile, Hesti was forced to sit down and eat together without daring to argue. However, occasionally glaring at Kamania made the little girl a little scared.

Suddenly the bell rang, Atun rushed to the front door to open the door. And when she saw who was coming, Kamania immediately ran to greet her.
