A Reply to My Husband

Not Good Body

Rania is speechless. The sharp gaze from Barra was extremely frightening to him. It was not his intention to spit out the food either. It's just that somehow she felt so nauseous smelling the aroma of her in-laws cooking.

"It's not so ... Neva ... I didn't mean ..." Rania.

"Means all this time mom didn't make anything up with her story. You have absolutely no respect for him!!" barra said in a fiery voice. "Is that what you hate about me?! You've gone too far!!!" Barra threw Rania's hand violently to make her fall down.

"Barra ... listen to my explanation first ..."

"Nothing to explain. I've seen it myself!!" Barra passed leaving Rania red with rage.

Her in-laws approached Rania who was still silent in front of the sink after Barra's departure.

"Had the squirrel jumped, one day it must have fallen too!" Her mother-in-law again. "If you woo my son, he will trust his mother more." Rania's in-laws look very happy to see Rania being scolded all out by Barra.

Rania was so lazy to reply to her in-laws words, she walked leaving her in-laws alone.

In the room Rania wonders what is wrong with her. It feels nauseous and a little dizzy. He also did not want to do homework as usual. He just wanted to lie down and laze around.

"Maybe I just catch a cold. If I sleep for a while, this dizziness will go away" he murmured. Finally she fell asleep again until she heard the sound of her bedroom door being knocked by her in-laws.

"Satomi ... !!! What you do inside. Do your duty!! there was the sound of her in-laws screaming from behind the door. Inevitably Rania woke up, but her dizziness and laziness had not disappeared even though she had rested.

"I'm not feeling well Ms. "replied Rania from the room.

"No need to pretend with me! Clean the house!" But Rania did not budge. She closed her eyes no matter the sound of her in-laws shouting from behind the door.

"Look, I'm going to complain about this attitude of yours to Barra!!" threaten in-laws. Rania doesn't care.

"What's wrong, ma'am?" barra asked in a hurry. She just got home after her mother called her.

"It's about your wife. He's doing it again!"

Barra sighed in annoyance. "Didn't you fight with her every day? What is important then?!""

"But this time it's different, he's totally outrageous! He didn't leave the room after you left. He won't even clean up the house."

"Listen Ms ... I work a lot in the office if this trivial matter of my mother tells me to go home, it means I'm just wasting my time!" Barra restrained her emotions. He came home after his mother called and told him to go home as soon as possible. Barra thought there was something so important that she had to take the time to go home on the sidelines.

"Yes if you don't believe. See for yourself your wife's behavior!"

Barra followed his mother's words. With a face full of emotion she walked towards her room then opened the door of the room violently.

"Rania, what else are you doing! I've been really bored every day facing your quarrel and mom! This is the last time I'll warn you. Just follow what mom says!" barra shouted from the doorway. But Rania did not respond to his words. The anger of Barra this morning because Rania dared to spit out her mother's cooking in front of her eyes has not disappeared, now more and more upset because Rania ignored it. He walked over and almost snapped at her again.

Then after he saw his wife up close then he realized there was something different with his wife. His face looks pale. Barra is getting closer to herself.

"Not hot," murmured Barra.

Rania woke up after feeling a touch on her forehead. He caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye then closed his eyes again.

"Are you sick?" barra's words softened.

Rania smiled cynically still with her eyes closed.

"What cares about you? Soon I'm no longer your wife, no need to worry about me."

"Let's take you to the doctor."

"Don't Rania, I'm still your husband."

"Isn't that just his status? If you still feel like my husband, you will definitely not spend the night with another woman!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Do you still love me?" Rania closed her eyes.

Barra silently did not answer.

"How long have you been with her?" Barra still did not answer.

"I'm not going to act like I don't know anything. If that's your choice then just do it. I will not beg for love! Go!" rania said calmly.

When he heard the door shut, he opened his eyes. Her tears flowed after Barra's departure. It hurt a lot but he tried hard in front of Barra.

"Am I a hypocritical woman?" rania asked herself. He realizes he has also made a mistake, but he never intends to betray Barra.

* * *

"All right what mom said? Your wife just admitted not feeling well in order to be lazy in the room," greeted her mother as soon as she saw Barra coming down.

"She is sick" replied Barra in short.

"You just believe??"

"Already Ms. .. don't bother him just this time. Can you not make a fuss?"

"What do you mean?! Are you going to tell me mom made a scene?! You dare say that to your mother?!"

Barra endured her frustration. His mother never wants to lose and also does not want to be blamed.

"I'd better get back to the office." Barra hurried to leave her mother.

Meanwhile, in the room, Rania wakes up and cleans up. After that he went down to the kitchen to fill his empty stomach because since morning had not eaten.

Her in-laws who accidentally saw her eating immediately made a scathing comment to her.

"It's really like you're in this house. Don't want to know how to eat!"

Rania did not answer. He continued to eat the bread in his hand after which he drank out a glass of milk. He must have enough energy to drive a car to the hospital. Her in-laws were getting furious with Rania's behavior.

"Hey ... what other than barren now are you deaf too?! Why not answer me?!"

"If I answer mom, I'll tell you that I have the courage to fight mom. Isn't that how it usually is?!" rania Syndir.

Her father-in-law did not believe. "You dare to fight me?!"

"Look, I just said it."

Her in-laws look wrong.

"Answer or don't answer, I'll stay wrong in mom's eyes. So what's the difference?" Rania got up from her seat.

"I've been quiet all this time with the treatment of my mother who always insulted me and scolded me. It was not because I was afraid, but because I respected you as the one who gave birth to my husband. But since mother can't see my sincerity devoting itself to you as well as your son, then there's no point in me respecting you." Then Rania stepped out of her in-laws.
