A Reply to My Husband

Unchanged

Hanna and Herra were still arguing over the matter they were facing. Both Hanna and Herra, they blame each other. Their quarrels were getting more fierce so they did not realize the heavy equipment was lined up in front of their house.

The sound of the bell managed to stop the quarrel of the mother and child.

"Who else is that?!" Hanna stepped in angrily towards the front door.

"What do you need?!" the question is rude to the person behind the door.

"You need to get out of this house as soon as we're about to collapse!"

"What do you mean?!! Who're you?!"

* * *

Hanna held Alicia and sat limp on the side of the road. He watched Malik's men knock down Barra's house with heavy equipment. While Herra could not do anything because he was just hitching a ride there. Hanna's been trying to prevent those people but she didn't make it. They finally dragged him out of the house. Hanna and Herra could only carry a few of the items they had and a few bags of Alicia's clothes.

Hanna cried, screamed, and cursed at anything she could do to bring out all the emotions in her chest. It's been so hard lately.

Previously he was beaten by Barra, after which he faced the people who confiscated his house. Now he must confront the men who destroyed Barra's house. Why should he meet all of this? Where's Barra, where's Widia? Didn't they have the same hand in hurting Rania?

"How is this Hanna? Where are we going to live now?"

Hanna did not answer, her eyes continued to look at the walls of Barra's house which one by one began to collapse.

"Hanna ....!!! Why are you quiet?! Quickly call Barra and let him know!" shout Herra.

"It's no use, he won't be able to stop them" Hanna replied desperately. "Look ... now this is all we have." Hanna pointed at the several suitcases filled with clothes in front of her. This reminds her of the night when Barra kicked Rania out of the house. She throws her suitcases out after Barra pushes Rania's body until she falls down. Just like he had experienced.

"So this is how it feels?" muttered Hanna while daydreaming.

"Hanna ...! Hurry up, Barra!!! At least he should know what happened to his house!" yell Herra again.

Hanna wakes up from her daydream and follows her Mama's words. After being beaten by Barra, she refused to contact him first. But eventually he had to tell Barra what was going on in their house.

Not long ago Barra stood between them. He drives his car at high speed as soon as Hanna tells him. Barra's eyes glared in disbelief at the sight before him. The house he used to be proud of now lives in its ruins.

Barra came to one of them who seemed to be in charge of giving instructions. Without further ado Barra directly beat the man to a fall.

"What the fuck?! Why did you destroy my house?!" barra asked while clutching the collar of the man's shirt.

"I'm just following orders. Why it's none of my business!" the man replied fearlessly even though Barra had already beaten him.

"Who gave the order? This house is entirely mine! No one has any right but me, let alone knock it down!!!"

"You should ask Mr. Malik Hammani directly about it. He gave me orders!"

He had intended to apologize to Malik and Rania for what he had done to Rania. Perhaps he could throw away his pride and apologize to the two of them. Although she knew Rania was not a forgiving person, but she was a woman who easily touched her heart. So maybe there's a chance for her to get away from the demands and she can take care of her mother at home.

But after seeing his house destroyed and debris like this, Barra forgot his original intentions. He was back in control of his emotions.

"I'm gonna beat you up a fucking guy! Who do you think you are?!" Barra clenched her hands furiously.

"So those people were your man?! No need to bother, I'll come to you!" furious Barra.

Barra is still Barra, his ego is always ahead. He really cannot learn from experience and cannot take wisdom from what he has gone through. He should be able to think that this was all because of himself. If he had not started everything then Malik would not have avenged him in such a way that he lost everything he had as he is today.

But Barra is not the name if you can put the mind forward rather than the emotions.

"Barra, where are you going?!" hanna asked who saw Barra walking away. But he didn't listen to Hanna's question.

"Barre...!!! wait!!!" prevent Hanna. "Where are you going?!"

"Surge from before me! I'm going to meet that man! He has no right to do this to me!"

"What did you do to make Malik so angry like this?! He also imprisoned Papa and pulled out all the treasures papa had?! Tell me what you've done?!"

"What do you mean?!"

"You know what I mean!!!" Hanna yells. Then he told her what he had experienced after he had left secretly from home that time. Also the result of the discussion of Mama and her father in prison. Everything that happened had to do with him and Barra.

Barra looked at Hanna's face in disbelief. They both do not know what is happening to each other.

Hanna doesn't know if before committing violence to her, Barra first molests Rania and afterwards hides in her Papa's office. While Barra doesn't know if as long as she's in the hospital waiting for her mother, things happen to Hanna.

Hanna's lost it all. His father was imprisoned and his property confiscated by the company. It was scorched Barra's hope to continue her mother's treatment because now her in-laws had nothing. And instead of making it introspective, Barra was getting more emotional.

"Why didn't you tell me right away?! You should call me right away!!!"

"I'm panicking Barra. I have to save the stuff we got before they knock it down! Where have you been for the past few days?! Why don't you go home? Don't blame me! Blame yourself!! If only you hadn't made trouble with your ex-wife, this wouldn't have happened! Malik won't be mad like this! You're to blame for all this!"

"Malik!!! Malik!!! Malik!!! I'm sick of hearing his name!!!"

Barra's intention is getting hotter to meet Malik and beat him up.

Barra walked to her car.

"Stop Barra! You will only make things worse!!!" Barra did not listen to Hanna's words. "Barra, you won't win against him!" yelled Hanna who seemed to be in vain.
