A Reply to My Husband

Decisions

Rania returns to her room leaving behind three people who have already hurt her heart. Rania did not care what they were talking about next which obviously she wanted to hide her current emotions.

Rania sat on the bed. Think about what steps he should take next. After a while, Barra followed her to her room. Apparently he didn't go to work.

"Rone ... I'm sorry, "to approach Rania who's sitting on the edge of the bed. Rania did not answer. "Are you okay?"

Rania is still silent. He also did not want to look at Barra.

"Rone ... Are you all right?" Rania looked over.

"What do you want me to do? Crying begging you to choose me? Or prostrate at your feet so you don't divorce me? Huh .. will not!"

"It's not so Ran ... You shut up, I'm afraid you ..."

"Fear me why? Depression? A shock? Crazy because you'd prefer another woman over me?" Rania took a deep breath, neutralizing her emotions.

"My love for you is no longer what Barra was. You recall? That night I begged you not to divorce me before in front of your mother. And I won't do it again, let alone in front of that woman. I still have my pride! I won't cry in front of other women for the sake of men like you!"

"Rone ... I had to do it."

"The decision is in Barra's hands. If you really want to be with me maybe you'll consider other ways to deal with your mother's problems."

"If that woman hadn't come here to tell me about her pregnancy, how long would you have been lying to me? You already know this before, right, but you can still be sweet in front of me?"

Barra felt more guilty.

"I love you Rania."

"You think I still believe?!"

Right now Rania wants to tell him that the child Hanna conceived was not her child, but it was like a boomerang for her because she was also pregnant with another man.

"There's nothing you need to explain anymore. Decision you have made. And again, you'd rather follow your mother's words. It's okay, I don't mind her, she's your mother, who gave birth to you. I can what?!"

"I feel like just yesterday I heard you say you were willing to sacrifice for me and our son. Ironic once, you haven't said it for a month, now you're going to divorce me for fear of losing all your property. I'd love to laugh remembering those words."

Rania continued to talk at length like she was taking out all her uneg-uneg.

Barra could only shut up. There were no words of Rania that she denied because she realized her mistake.

"You're worried about what your future will be like if you choose me? But aren't you worried what about my future and my son's if you choose him? Huhh ... sacrifice? Is that sacrifice? You don't even know what those words mean."

"Rone ... Please understand my position."

Rania's words made Barra even more guilty. It was indeed a fact, she chose Hanna because the money Hanna family had could save her life and her mother's life.

Barra finally came out of the room as she could not bear to continue hearing the words that came out of Rania's mouth. Maybe after Rania calms down she'll come back and talk to him.

Rania was silent after Barra's departure. It was not that he was not hurt, of course his heart felt disappointed and hurt. But she also realized her position was also pregnant with other men.

And now is not the time to cry out for fate, it is time to think ahead. He had to leave this house, so he had to find a place to live and find money to continue his life.

Rania stand. He started packing his things. But no, he's not leaving this house right now. He was just in case they threw him out whenever he was ready even though he didn't know where to go.

In the dining room...

Everyone had gathered for lunch, including Hanna who was also there. It seemed like this morning she had left immediately with Rania's in-laws after they finished talking.

"Marra ... When should you immediately take care of your divorce with her. I and Aunt Widia have chosen a wedding ring and dress."

"Call me Hanna, you will soon be my mother's daughter-in-law" said Rania's father-in-law.

Even during her five years as her daughter-in-law, she had never been so friendly to Rania, making Rania sick of hearing about it.

Barra remained silent.

"Oh yes ... when will you propose to me? I told Papa we were getting married. And Papa said he'd have a fancy reception for our wedding. You know, Papa's colleagues are a lot so you don't want an ordinary wedding."

"You know I don't have money for that kind of thing!"

"Who said you'd finance everything, my papa has everything ready. You don't have to think about. Papa will also immediately take care of the debts of the mother. So ... You should know darling ... Papa's been spending a lot of money on you and mom." Hanna smiled as she glanced at her future in-laws.

As if not thinking about the feelings of Rania who was also sitting at one table with her, Hanna casually talked about their marriage issues in front of her.

"You'd better wait for me to get divorced from Barra and get out of this house first. I am still valid as Barra's wife to this day" said Rania calmly without any expression on her face.

"That won't be long. You should be ashamed that Barra obviously chose Hanna over you. If you're self-aware, you should've left this house without being asked."

"Originally you know, I'm not gonna get out of this house before my car comes back. The person who took my car as a debt loan should also be ashamed of not being able to return the car to the owner. I can also take that person to court if I want to!" Rania's insinuation to her in-laws.

"Hey.you don't have to be arrogant! It's just a car. Hanna can definitely give it back to you!" his mother did not accept.

"We'll just wait. Clearly, as long as my car hasn't returned to me, I won't leave this house! So sorry, you guys have to be patient for a little longer!" Rania put down the spoon yes and stood up leaving the dining room.
