Chapter 17 Decisions and actions

Fen sat by the bed in a daze, after things calmed down. His body was still shaking from the shaking earlier.

Even though it's been an hour, all the children, especially the eldest, are like that too. They even screamed in panic when the shock occurred.

An hour later, everything was back to normal. David bought some snacks for all his children. Does he have money? Fen furrowed her brow, thinking to herself.

Yes, of course. He is the head of his family, so he makes a living for his family.

"Father, how come you spend so much? Isn't this too wasteful? What if we don't have any more money in the future." Chica is indeed calculating, this behavior of her eldest child makes Fen pleased. Every time she is given pocket money, Chica even saves some of it and often takes it home to share with her other siblings.

It's very impressive.

David smiled at his daughter's story. However, his smile was a little strange. There seems to be weight behind that smile. "It's okay, besides dad rarely buys you good food either. So, now eat. For tomorrow, dad will still try to make money, just pray that we get lots of fortune. How about it? Do you agree with dad?" David raised his eyebrows, making sure his eldest daughter agreed with him.

It was clear from the expression on Chica's face that it was still hard to taste it. "Why? Are you still doubtful? See your younger siblings have tasted it. Aren't you hungry?"

After thinking, Chica finally did what her father said.

Fen suddenly laughed, releasing the tense atmosphere in his living room. "Mother, what are you doing?" Nana looked at her mother in surprise.

In the middle of the night, Fen felt that her mouth was dry, and her head was dizzy when she woke up when Bertrand was crying.

He chose to inhale the scent of mint-scented wind oil, hoping that his headache would subside.

Fen massaged her forehead and was about to get up from there to get a glass of water, at that moment she heard a strange sound. It's coming from the side of the house.

That night, only she and her little baby were still awake. She was worried, Fen secretly put her ear close to the wooden house wall, so she could hear the sound clearly.

"Mas David, don't our wife find out about us? Who knows if Fen will hear us here. I'm afraid if there's a problem later." It was… A woman's voice.

Who's that? She mentioned the name of David, her husband. Fen frowned out of curiosity. Then he turned his ear to the wall again. It turned out that a man's voice was also there. Is that Mr. David?

Fen peeked from behind the window. There were two shadows visible, Fen saw them clearly. But, who are they? What if it's really David? Oh, no way. Wasn't Mas David working overtime at his office? It sure wasn't him.

Fen dodged when he thought of something that had stuck in his mind. When he returned to eavesdropping, he heard a male voice, However, it was not obvious. Fen now confirmed his thoughts.

Does it sound like David's voice? But what are they doing? He was starting to feel suspicious. Although how was he going to check the truth if Bertrand was still not sleeping and breastfeeding.

Fen was still there, clenching his fist tightly. He seemed to know the owner of the woman's voice.

Ariana, her voice, is very similar to her. Someone he considers a close friend as well as a friend during his school days. It couldn't be him, Fen chose not to be prejudiced.

However, when a man's voice returns, imagine it's not what he thought it was.

"In fact, I often give your mother extra money for shopping. Do you still not believe me?" Fen has given birth to five children. So, her body is not as beautiful as it used to be. But you, you look very sexy. How can I not be captivated by the ideal body, I really… you know what I mean, right?"

"Sssttt, I would rather not hear that, you just say his name, I don't like it when it's in front of me. Now I want certainty, do you choose me or him?" Ariana's tone was deliberately made pitiful, if a man heard it, he would immediately melt.

However, unlike Fen, his heart hurts like a thorn. He covered his mouth tightly while opening his eyes wide to hold back sleep.

He wanted to get out of there, caught them. She really didn't expect her husband to do something like this behind her back.

"It turns out, the husband I thought was working hard out there instead…" He couldn't continue his words. His heart ached, making his tears fall along with sobs that could no longer be held back.

At that time, Fen was still confused about what to do after that. Did she stay quiet, or did she come out holding the baby? But, she didn't want her baby to hear loud banging from her father. According to health experts, it will be very influential for children if it comes to that.

"Oh Lord…"

Even though Fen was desperately struggling alone, taking care of her five children along with David.

While her husband was even making out with another woman behind. "I really am so stupid!"

But, still, in the end, Fen suppressed her emotions that were burning like a fire and went through that night without sleep even though her baby was asleep.

Not long after, then a voice was heard that they had gone to the yard of the house.

At the same time, Fen checked every desk drawer, looking for someone until he finally managed to find the file he was looking for.

Their marriage book.

He grabbed his phone, and pressed the screen until he typed a brief message. Then send it to a contact number that is in the marriage book.

Now, Fen closed her eyes. Rethinking his decision. Can she live her life without a husband?

Just then, a reply message popped up on his phone screen. Fen opened it, and it turned out that the religious affairs office had replied to her message.

My determination is made up, I have strong reasons for this divorce. Click…

Fen turned off her cellphone and left there, then headed for the kitchen. Even though her mind is still wrapped in her previous problems, she still carries out her duties as a housewife.

***

Feni immediately changed her clothes and tidied up after her children left for school. Bertrand and Alvin had just fallen asleep after they finished their breakfast, and it was morning.

He planned to go somewhere after they woke up. Just then, footsteps were heard from the front door. Fen can hear clearly because the front room is not far from the room where she sleeps.

"Sister… Honey… Are you still at home?"

David, that's David's voice. How dare he go home after saying that last night. Very ignorant. He started, disgusted at the thought of David touching him again.

If there are too many of my shortcomings, why wasn't he honest before? It really hurts.

Fen locked himself in the room without answering anything there. When he opened the door, David was surprised that his wife was inside in neat clothes. "It turns out your inside? Why didn't you answer when I called earlier?"
