The Tomb Next to the House
20. Suspiciousness

That night I was still terrified after the fetal ghost incident the other day. Raihan was sleeping beside me. For a few days he always came home in the afternoon.

But when night falls, Raihan prefers to sleep first. Rarely want to share warmth or just chat like the previous nights. If I ask for sure the answer is always tired because of work.

One or two days is ok. But if it continues, it is no longer tired of its name. There must be something with Raihan's mas.

Like last night. I just lured him to take him to perform a night ritual, but was immediately rejected outright on the grounds of fatigue. That's very strange. During our marriage, not once did my husband refuse my invitation.

The next day when he left for work, I secretly followed him using my matic motorbike. Curiosity continues to linger in the mind. It made me do anything to answer that feeling. Instead of just staying at home, and being bullied by astral beings, I went with Raihan to work.

I always keep the safe distance of my motorbike from the car he drives so as not to be caught. The first stop was the Althaf school. So far everything seems safe to control. But when Raihan stopped at a project site, I frowned.

Doesn't Raihan work out of town? Or has he moved the project? But why didn't Raihan tell me?

Mas Raihan works as a building foreman who usually works anywhere depending on the project he is working on.

Surprisingly, Raihan got a new project in the near future. Is the project finished? All I know is that building a housing unit takes a little while. Raihan did not finish the project out of town, then moved here? Where the distance of his current workplace is not far from where we live. It's only a few minutes from Althaf school.

Until noon everything went well. But when lunch arrived, Raihan was seen going to a cafe not far from where he worked. He sat alone. Not long after, a young woman dressed in fashionable clothes approached, then sat across from my husband's desk.

I was the two tables from where they were sitting, furious. The young woman was very familiar with my husband. Who the hell is he? Is Raihan playing with fire behind my back?

How dare Raihan play me!

I could have hit them both. But I still have the ethics to not embarrass myself in public. Moreover, this concerns my household matters.

I don't know what they're talking about. I couldn't listen clearly because of the distance that was blocking. After eating, they walked out of the cafe. I'll be coming soon too.

"Mom! Ma'am! Wait!"

I heard someone calling from behind. But when I looked up, no one seemed to have just called me. Everyone focused on the dining at their table.

"Mom!"

I'm spreading a sweeping look at every corner of the cafe. And then I found out, at the end of there was a woman in a dull white dress looking at me sharply with a black circumference around her eyes. His long hair looks very ugly. Her lips were torn upwards parallel to the ears, smiling at me.

"Yeah!" hysterical scream.

The whole cafe was surprised. Spitting his strange gaze at me who had run to the outside of the cafe. The shrill laughter still sounded loud until I actually got out of there.

"Fuck fuck!" as I said, adjust the breath when you just arrive at the parking lot.

My head was looking for someone. Only then did I know that I had lost track of Raihan's men with the young woman.

"Basic ja lang!"

I don't know how many swears came out of my mouth when I decided to go home. Before the gas hit the house, I picked up Althaf at school instead of him going home.

Because the school implements a full day system, at 3 o'clock Althaf just came out of the school area. I waited two hours outside the gate. Honestly, I don't want to be home alone. I only want to see subtle creatures once a day. Not more. Please.

"Well, Mama? Tumbens." Althaf was astonished to see me pick him up. I rarely get to pick up. Usually this is the task of Raihan mas, if his work is free.

"For the mood. Riding up!" tell me who's already careless to be here. My ass was already hot, too long sitting in the motorcycle seat.

Althaf immediately obeyed my instructions.

"Next time don't pick me up, Ma. Tuh, Mama's skin is an item of sunburn," licked Althaf on the way.

"Yes, honey," I said half-heartedly.

My mood suddenly broke. Seeing my most trusted husband turned out to be close to other women outside the house. Also with my skin that was instantly charred by the sun. I forgot to wear long clothes when I left the house. Because it's too focused on Raihan.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get some clarity on what I've met. I intend to stalk my husband again tomorrow.
