Chapter 13

Hazre, who was neatly dressed in a dark blue suit, just walked towards his office room today. Due to increasing work constraints, he had to work to complete his outstanding work. He was accompanied by Suhami by his side.

Every time on the way to his office room, many employees bump into him and say hello. Hazre, who is the chairman of the company, has a special advantage in hospitality. Indeed, that is what Veronica has been wanting all along. Just shaking his feet, the money comes in, and all the work is done only by the employees.

After stepping into his room, his face immediately changed. Suhaimi just stood in front of his desk. While he immediately leaned his back on his swivel chair. He looked serious this time.

"Suhaimi, do you know where my wife is?"

Hazre's first question to Suhaimi.

"I don't know, sir...I'm sorry."

Hazre quickly let out a long sigh. He still wondered where Veronica was, so she didn't come home. That made him feel challenged.

"Where did she go? Will she lie to me?"

Hazre said he looked a bit angry. Suhaimi started listening to Hazre's complaints. His brow furrowed when he heard Hazre say that. He already suspected something.

Hazre was once again moved to call Veronica. This time his call was answered.

"You..where are you now? Have you come home yet?"

Hazre was a little rude. Suhaimi just watched Hazre from afar.

"I talked about it yesterday...I and my friends.."

Listening to that reason, Hazre was so angry that his eyes were closed for a long time.

"I don't want to hear your excuses on the phone. I want you to meet me now at the office."

"But I.."

"Now! You want me to find you until I find you?"

He was no longer able to hold back his anger. This time he was really serious. The call was immediately turned off. He tried to calm himself down by exhaling slowly.

"Sir, do you want me to prepare water for you?"

Suhaimi said, trying to calm him down.

"Never mind...You can go out now. Leave me alone here."

He said with a calm voice. Suhaimi immediately obeyed the order. His feet slowly stepped out, leaving Hazre. After he left the room, he thought for a long time as he walked.

'Cheating? What is Veronica trying to trick?'

Hissing in his heart. Listening to Hazre's words earlier, he began to carry out his mission. He immediately searched for Veronica without Hazre's knowledge.

After Alif boarded the school bus that stopped in front of his house, the house was quiet again. Since Azmar had not returned home since yesterday, Rosalina felt lonely. Even though her bungalow was big, she was the only one in the house. She laid her back on the sofa while thinking about something.

"Where is he now?"

She said she was asking herself. It was still a question of where Azmar had been for those two days. She quickly dialled Azmar's number and put the phone screen close to his ear. She waited for the call to be answered. But there was no response. Once again, it was still the same until three times the call was not answered...Anxiety began to dominate her.

"Where did he go last night? My calls were not answered. Is he still busy at work?"

Rosalina thought about the reason. For a long time, she thought for a long time there while biting her fingers. But her reverie was interrupted when the bell rang outside her house. She quickly looked out. It seemed that Aiysah was outside the fence of her house.

"Aiysah.."

Said Rosalina, calling her after a step closer towards her. Aiysah just smiled blandly. Eyes met each other. Aiysah seemed to have something to say to Rosalina.

#####

She looked a little nervous about facing Rosalina. His mind went back to the past about Azmar. Every time she remembered that she was more sad and agitated.

'What do I want to do? Should I tell her?'

She said in his heart. The heartbeat is getting faster.

'If I told her..what would his reaction be? What will it be like? She would be sad if I told her about Azmar having another woman.'

"What are you thinking?"

"Ah?!"

Rosalina was surprised to hear Aiysah's sudden scream. Aiysah screamed because of her surprise at Rosalina's presence in front of her. It was true that her heart was trembling.

"What's wrong with you? Do you think I'm a ghost?"

Rosalina said with a frown. Aiysah's eyes were trembling.

"Ahm..Ros...Actually..I.."

Aiysah stuttered to say. She was busy thinking whether her words would bring good or bad. This was a matter of Rosalina's household.

"What is it? You seem to have something to say to me.."

Rosalina became more interested in finding out after seeing Aiysah's doubtful reaction. Aiysah was still bowing down silently. Her mind was wandering.

"Ahm..I...I want to tell you something..but don't get too emotional...Please promise me.."

Aiysah said more and more scared to say it. Rosalina was getting weirder.

"Tell me what it is...You make me wait for later...Tell me I won't get angry.."

Rosalina said. Without delay, Aiysah exhaled slowly. This time she will tell the truth.

"Actually..yesterday I saw...Azmar."

"What?! Did you see him? Where?"

The question made Aiysah even more anxious to ask. She looked at Rosalina's face with a bland face.

"At..he..he was with another girl..yesterday."

In the end, his speech slowed down.

"What are you talking about?"

Rosalina thought it was just a joke. But Aiysah was determined to convince her.

"I..did see him with another girl...That's right...I saw it with my own eyes."

Aiysah is getting more and more confident in telling the truth. Rosalina just giggled. She still can't believe it.

"My husband won't do that. You're the wrong person."

"You still don't believe me? Wait, I have a picture of him.."

The proof is already in his hands. She had just opened the gallery for Rosalina to see the picture.

"Look at this."

She said, handing his phone to Rosalina. Looking at the picture carefully, Rosalina believed more and more but had a little doubt.

"You..maybe this is his friend.."

Rosalina said again. Aiysah was getting dizzy.

"Oh My God, Ros.. You still don't see it... Azmar's hand is holding that girl's hand. I heard it myself with my ears.. he said I love you to that girl."

When his mouth said something impudent, only then did she realize it. She quickly shut his mouth.

'Damn! What I'm saying..I'll make her feel bad later..'

Aiysah hissed in her heart. She didn't think her mouth was so bold as to talk about the badness of Azmar. Rosalina thought for a long time. Her face was full of questions.

"Ros.. are you okay with this? I'm sorry Ros.. I.. I shouldn't talk too much about this. If possible, you two.. have a nice talk... I'm not doing all this to see your relationship strained but ..I just want to tell you the truth..as your friend."

Aiysah's words were now not heard. Her thoughts began to drift. Her face looked stiff thinking about Azmar's increasingly changing attitude.

"No..not possible.."

Rosalina kind of couldn't believe it. Aiysah was getting more and more anxious seeing Rosalina's stiff reaction.

"Ros..answer it..Are you okay?"

No response from Rosalina. Still thinking for a long time. But not long after, she looked at Aiysah's face again.

"You go back...Don't worry about me.."

She said, without looking at Aiysah.

"Ros.."

"Go..leave me alone."

She said firmly. Aiysah didn't want the situation to get more complicated. Slowly, she just agreed with Rosalina's wishes. She walked out and left Rosalina. Now the situation was quiet. She was still stunned to see the evidence Aiysah had shown earlier.

"Veronica.."

Rosalina said the name in a weak tone. It looks like she knows the girl in the picture. How can she know Veronica? Who is Veronica to her?
