A Reply to My Husband

I'm going to divorce you!

"I'm sorry for my words." Barra did not answer. He continued to look forward without caring for Rania who was now standing beside him.

"Not at home or in the office, everyone keeps talking about me not having children. I'm tired of being constantly questioned about children. I also really want children just like you and Mom."

"We can adopt a child if you want. I don't mind," replied Rania.

"But I object. It's not my flesh and we don't know the boy's origin. What if his parents are criminals, or have a hereditary disease and many other things we should consider adopting a child."

"Come ... Barra don't think negatively like that. Depends on how we educate and take care of her later."

"I still don't want anything other than my flesh and blood. Mother would not like it. The child will suffer later if the mother treats him badly."

"Then what should we do? I've been following all the pregnancy programs you said. Various vitamins are also diligent I consume. What else am I supposed to do?"

"You have to keep trying."

"Not just me, you either. You haven't checked yourself yet."

"Haahhh .. I don't have time." Barra looks to be starting to get emotional again.

"When can you? I'll schedule a meeting with Dewi and we'll consult together."

"I told you I don't have time. You go there!" Barra started raising her voice.

"Barra, don't put all this on me as if I'm the only one who has flaws here. I've been proven healthy there's no problem with my reproduction!" Rania's voice was no less high than Barra's. He himself was tired of being constantly blamed.

"So you want to tell me this is all my fault?! I'm barren so you mean huh?!!" Barra started screaming. Maybe her mother downstairs has heard Barra's screams by now. "You saw it, right? My body is strong and very healthy. I have no history of any illness. So don't make it up!"

"Don't yell at me! Don't think you're the only one who's tired of all this!!" reply Rania with a shout no less than Barra. "I'm tired of Barra!! I'm tired of being reviled every day and cursed as a barren woman by your mother!!"

"You can't give me a child! Don't blame me! Don't reverse the facts by saying you're healthy. It's true said mother, you are a barren woman! barren!! You hear that? you're barren!!"

Barra's words really hurt Rania's feelings. She often heard her in-laws say that, but Barra was the only person she hoped would understand. It's really painful for Rania.

"Take out your words just now!" rania said while shedding her tears. Barra rubbed her face rough but did not dare to look at Rania.

Unbeknownst to the two, Barra's mother eavesdropped behind the door. After hearing Barra's scream, her mother immediately ran up the stairs to Barra's room. But instead of breaking up, he eavesdropped on the doorstep with a triumphant laugh.

"What the fuck is this Barra? Why are you fighting like this?!" Barra's mother opened the door without excuse and acted as if she knew nothing. She held back a smile seeing Rania cry.

"Looks like you were right, this woman is barren!" Once again Barra's words pierced Rania's feelings. He's been so outrageous. Rania stared in disbelief at Barra, she could not believe the husband she loved so much could say that in front of her mother.

"What did mom say? I've reminded you many times, but you don't hear mother's words. Just try to divorce him a long time ago and get married again, surely you already have children now and your life must be happy" said his mother cynical.

Her presence doesn't make things better. Rania's tears are getting worse.

"Mother's right, I'll divorce her. I should have done that a long time ago." Rania's world seemed to collapse hearing Barra's words.

"No Barra, don't divorce me. I love you, you love me too, right? don't divorce me ... " Rania approached Barra while sobbing.

"Don't listen to him. You must divorce her and marry again."

Barra looks confused. On the one hand she loves Rania very much, on the other hand she also loves her mother very much and she always obeys her mother's words.

Rania grabbed Barra's hand and tried to look her in the eye. But Barra turned her face away. Either he did not dare to look at Rania because he felt guilty or because he was no longer willing to just look at her.

"Barra .. Look at me, tell me you love me. Pull your words out ... " Rania pleaded while continuing to hold Barra's hand. But Barra remained silent.

"Don't divorce me, please ... We can still work on this together."

"Immediately take Barra's decision, do not linger stuck with this barren woman. You're wasting your time with him."

Barra took a deep breath. "I'll give you a month, if in a month you're not pregnant, then I'll divorce you!" said slowly. Rania knew it wasn't purely Barra's wish. Then Barra leaves Rania in the room with her mother.

"And don't expect any money, you don't have any children from Barra so you won't give us a dime if Barra divorces you! You will leave this house without bringing anything! Catch that!!" he took his father-in-law by the way.

Her in-laws had absolutely no empathy for Rania. As if what she felt at this time was not enough, her in-laws actually added it with no less painful words.

Rania remained alone in the room lamenting her fate. How can she get pregnant within a month if for five years of marriage she has not been pregnant. Had Barra been willing to live apart from her mother, none of this would have happened. If indeed she could not get pregnant, Barra would be able to understand. His mother kept on poking Barra by saying bad things about Rania and kept on cornering her. If only his household affairs were not meddled by his in-laws would definitely not be this heavy.

Barra loves Rania, but her mother's dominance is stronger than her love for Rania. Lucky for those who get patient and understanding in-laws.

Rania could only cry to vent the emotion in her rumbling chest. It's too painful for him. If her father-in-law who met her barren probably would not be this sick because Rania was used to it. But this time it was Barra, her own husband who declared her a barren woman. It completely ripped off his feelings.

How'this? How can I get pregnant in a month? Their words make no sense to me. Why am I the only one to blame for all this? Isn't there a possibility of Barra being barren?

"I have to see the Goddess, maybe she knows the solution." Lala wiped her tears and got ready to leave.
