A Reply to My Husband

Hide (Again)

Eventually Barra took Widia to the hospital because she was not conscious from fainting. And here's where it ends. Widia was conscious but she couldn't move part of her body. Widia had a stroke next door, in which only half of her body could be moved and some were numb and unable to move.

"I why?" widia asked Barra who was faithfully waiting for her.

"Mom is okay. I'll be well soon" replied Barra short.

"But why can't the left mother's body move?"

"It's okay mom, don't think about it. I'll be cured."

Widia silently heard Barra's reply.

"How's Hanna? What have you done to him?" ask her mother again.

Barra was awakened from a dream. She forgot about Hanna because she was busy taking care of her mother. He didn't even realize Hanna's car wasn't in the garage.

"It's okay Mom, she deserves it" replied Barra coldly.

"Don't be so Barra. No one deserves to be treated like that, you'll regret it."

"No ma'am, he deserves to be treated that way. Such a liar does not deserve to be loved."

"Mom doesn't like it either. Honestly, I'm sorry I made you marry him. But that doesn't mean you can torture him."

"Mommy regrets why you used to be so cruel to Rania. She is an amazing daughter-in-law. I regret Barra. I regretted doing evil to others. Don't let you be as sorry as you are now."

"Rania and Hanna are different. Don't you take it for granted."

"But now your wife is Hanna. She is not a good wife and daughter-in-law but you cannot torture her like that. What if he reports you to the police? I can't if you go to jail again. Look at mom's condition now, if you're in jail who's gonna take care of mom?" widia's tears are dripping.

Barra was silent listening to her mother speak.

"Repair your relationship with Hanna. Slowly he will get better. Remember your condition now Barra. You are no longer a director. You don't have a job. You also cannot have children. If you get divorced from Hanna, which other woman wants to be your wife? Especially if they know you're barren."

"Stop mom! Don't talk anymore!"

"Mom just reminded you. I want to be a good person now. I'm really sorry about my attitude first. What else is the attitude of mother to Rania. Almost every day I call her a barren woman. With pride, the mother said that if the mother's child could not be barren, the mother's child since childhood was healthy and not sickly. And see now how karma comes into being?"

Barra was silent again. Not because he thought about his mother's words, but thought about the fact that he was barren. He was disappointed and angry at himself but he vented his anger at the people he came into contact with.

Widia does not know if Barra has persecuted Rania first before beating Hanna.

"Sleep Mom. I'm gonna go out for some fresh air."

"Barra .. Apologize to Hanna. Don't let him put you in jail. Have mercy Mother ... Mother does not live alone with the condition of mother like this. I need you son ..."

Barra did not answer his mother's words. She still passed leaving her mother who was still crying regretting her attitude first.

Barra sat pensively in the long chair in the hospital hallway. He thought about how he could lose his sanity and injure two people at once. Her mother's words have a point. If he's divorced from Hanna, there's still a woman who wants to be his wife. Especially now that he was a nobody and also had flaws.

Barra breathed a long breath. His life is completely messy. He finally stood up. She decides to meet Hanna, at least convincing Hanna not to report her actions to the police station or to her Papa. How can her in-laws forgive her if she finds out after hiding herself in her room, Barra beats up her daughter.

Barra would apologize to Hanna and admit this was just a momentary error, she was just carried away with emotion. Begging her not to report her actions to her Papa or to the police, maybe Hanna will forgive her.

Barra thinks of her mother's fate if she is imprisoned again and Hanna is no longer his wife. Who will take care of her mother? She had no money to hire a nurse to take care of her mother. The only income now is from the rent and expenses. Seeing his mother's condition like this surely the money was not enough to live and the cost of his mother's treatment. His mother had to undergo therapy in order to recover as before and it requires no small cost.

But what about Rania and her husband? Will they forgive him too? Now to meet with Rania alone she already had no face, especially if she had to apologize to him. How could he who had previously come in full rage return again to beg for forgiveness. Now she was just a crumb in front of Rania and her husband.

Barra rams the steering wheel of her car in annoyance at finding the right way to apologize to Rania.

Barra reduced the speed of her car. He's about to reach his house. But from a distance he saw many people's houses, but not the police, at least they were not wearing police uniforms.

"Who are they? What the hell are they doing? Are they Papa's men or Rania's men?" barra Gumam. He did not dare to approach just observing those people from inside his car in the distance. The men kept knocking on the door, and some kept hitting the bell and some were circling the house.

"Nobody opens the door. Is there no one at home? Did they go ... "

"G .... Shit man!!! They left before I left! Hanna's car wasn't there any time I'd take mom to the hospital. So they sneaked in while I was taking care of mom?!" Barra kept talking to herself.

"Sial ... shit ... shit!!! Hanna must have said this to her papa!!!"

Barra does not know if his father-in-law, Aaron Affandi, is currently in prison.

"I need to get out of here!" Barra drove her car out of the place. She undoes her intention to apologize to Hanna.

"I have to hide. I will accompany mom. No one knows if I go to the hospital." Barra drove her car back to the hospital.
