(Still Revised) Grandfather's Green Lake
Miscarrying
Nelma was taken to the hospital. The unfortunate that confronted, the calamity that he could not avoid. She miscarried. Actually can be maintained by taking uterine strengthening drugs, but Ari asks to be quashed.
He made excuses for the doctor. Nelma was very disappointed. His love began to tarnish.
Nelma who is gentle, obedient and will always come to him when going to work and coming home from work, will always come on the call even though she is hugging another woman in front of her, is now an indifferent woman, quiet with empty eyes.
“Is there anything you want?” ask Ari at dinner with Nelma.
“No,” replied Nelma. He only focused on eating, not seeing the face of Ari who he had always looked at by stealing.
Ari takes a breath, “If there is something you want, just say it.”
“Ya,” Reply Nelma flat. He's not the usual one.
Usually he will answer kindly with a smile. Now, that smile Ari has rarely seen since the miscarriage.
“I'm going to Out of Town two weeks this.” said Ari, he was still staring at Nelma's response.
Nil, the woman was still an ordinary face. “Ya,” answer again flatly.
Ari moved her teeth, annoyed. Nelma did not respond to anything, usually the woman will show her sad face. Not this time. Ari stood up, repeating his words.
“I'll be out of town for two weeks.”
“Ya.” says Nelma with face still flat.
Ari sighs.
Nelma really doesn't care, wants a week or even a month. His heart was tired, he was already disappointed with Ari's treatment so far. At most the guy had fun with any woman there. For what he still puts love on a man who has no taste for him.
Why stay in the palace, the body is decorated with jewelry and good clothes, if the heart is unhappy. Nelma only wanted a love reply from her husband, very simply.
Lately Ari's mind branched, he was disturbed by Nelma's attitude. The woman who looked at him lovingly turned into a woman who did not put any feelings on him. His eyes were no longer warm.
“Rasyid, what does Nelma do at home?” Ari called her sister.
For the first time Ari said the name of the woman he married again after marrying him, making Rashid was surprised. “Sister-in-law only spends time sleeping in the room, Kak.”
“Only that?”
“Yes, sometimes he sits in the garden of roses.” explains Rashid.
“Rose flower?” ask Ari. He thought for a moment, in his house there was no rose garden.
“Sister-in-law planted it a while ago in.. at the border between our land and the buffalo enclosure of Mr. Sulaiman.”.
“What? Why did he plant it there? You idiot! Why did you let it!” Ari's voice tone was rising.
“Kakak Ipar looks still very sad Brother. I'm not happy to forbid it. Perhaps by planting the flower it can cheer him up.”
Ari took a long breath.
“Yes, but not that far either. He can plant it near home.”
“Alright, Brother. I will tell Sister-in-law.” replied Rashid.
Ari massaged his head. Yes, he did not like the type of flowers in the yard or a small garden near his home. But if Nelma planted it on the border with Mr. Sulaiman's buffalo cage, wouldn't it be far away, at least the woman would have to pedal a bicycle. To make him more worried, Mr. Sulaiman a rich rancher, has 3 wives, he is a basket.
