Black Swan's

Lying and Divorce (One Hundred One)

            In the afternoon, Aciel returned with her two children. Louise seemed so excited that she finally had a new set of cars with very sophisticated remots. Even Aciel played it. The grown man is like going back to his childhood which was not really sweet like this. When he saw Louise so cool playing the remote car, he became intrigued to play it until he

finally scrambling with Louise who turns silly because her father interferes with her fun.

            “You're home. Ace, how much money did you spend buying those cars?” eden asked fiercely to Aciel while bringing a glass of milk to Louise. The little boy immediately received a helping of milk from his mother without a fight. It was as if the little boy had forgotten his anger towards his mother this afternoon.

            “Mom, my new shoes.” show off Ciara cute while walking the impression of coming here with her purple wedges. Eden then looked at Aciel sharply because the man had bought Ciara a shoe for an adult woman. Though all this time Eden always forbade Ciara if the little girl had been whining to buy wedges, because wedges are not good for children the age of Ciara. If you use wedges too often, the development of Ciara leg bones will be disrupted. And Eden didn't want that to happen, so Eden just bought Ciara flat shoes or sneakers to protect the little legs of Ciara who is still in growth.

            “Ace, why did you buy Ciara wedges, she should not use wedges, it will interfere with the growth and development of her leg bones.” Eden's nagging is upset. Aciel who felt tired because he had not rested at all became angry and offended. He didn't like it when Eden rebuked him with such a tone. He had just returned from Germany, but Eden greeted him with something unpleasant and scolded him, as if he were the most wrong person in the house. Aciel then got up from her seat and directly threw Louise's control remote hard onto the carpet. He didn't like it when Eden behaved like this. After all, she was her husband. And Eden must always be respectful to him.

            “You shouldn't scold me like that. I just want to give my best to my kids. Why are you scolding me like this!” snapped Aciel emotion. Ciara and Louise who saw her father angry at her mother immediately looked scared behind Eden while wiping the tears that began to flood their faces. Aciel was rarely angry in front of her children. Aciel usually only scolds her severely if Ciara or Louise starts to misbehave or quarrel over something. And this time they were really scared when they saw Aciel who started yelling at Eden and showing a fierce look on their mother.

            “I didn't scold you, I just reprimanded you. Ace. Why are you yelling at me like this?” ask Eden emotions. He who still feels unwell becomes easily provoked just by hearing the high voice of Aciel. Especially now that Ciara and Louise were crying in fear behind her, it meant that Aciel was already completely overdue and outrageous.

            “You blame me for buying Ciara and Louise what they want. I just want to make them happy. I have rarely been home all this time. I rarely noticed their growth. I don't even know when Louise started walking and talking. Today I just want to be a good father to them. I want them to remember this day as a day that will never be forgotten in their lifetime because today they spend their time having fun with their father. But you just said this and scolded me with your scathing words. Don't you realize I'm your husband? You should respect me, not yell at me.”

            Eden clenched her hands tightly as Aciel began to shout about their status and degrees. Indeed, as a wife, Eden must always respect her husband and be weak to defend Aciel. But here he just wanted to reprimand Aciel, not to yell at the man, so that he really did not accept the powerful words of Aciel.

            “I didn't yell at you once. I'm just reprimanding you. So, can you downplay your voice, because Ciara and Louise are terrified.” Eden said cynically as she grabbed Louise's small body into her sling. Again the little boy cried sobbing with the rest of the milk spill that soiled his lips and clothes. While Ciara seemed to still tremble in fear while hugging Eden's legs without daring to look at Aciel's face. Seeing his son and wife seem frightened and angry, Aciel finally decided to go up to his room and rest. He thought he was tired and needed rest so that he did not easily ignite emotions like this. Eden, who was left in the living room, seemed to be trying to calm her two frightened children. This was the first time for him to fight with Aciel in the presence of the children. Usually it's never been like this on Aciel. But for some reason today Aciel seems so easy to get emotional. Eden then sighed softly as he felt that Aciel today was too fierce. But then he realized that this was all because of his mistake. He had ignited the flames of anger on Aciel. She should have greeted Aciel with a warm smile and a refreshing glass of warm tea.

            “Ah, stupid!” rto Eden on himself. The woman began to feel guilty towards Aciel. She wants to apologize to her husband now. But he knew that right now, Aciel was still angry with him. Finally Eden decided to give Aciel a little time so that the man could calm down for a moment. Eden then turned to Ciara and Louise who had started to calm down. The two little boys looked compact drowning their faces in Eden's lap. Sometimes Eden felt Louise was still as much in her lap, but Ciara already looked better and began to dare to look up her head while looking at Eden inside.

            “Mommy, Ciara scared.”

            Eden then stroked the top of Ciara's head gently while giving a soothing smile to her son. He knew, Ciara must have been very frightened when she saw her father who looked so emotional like that. But slowly Eden will give understanding to Ciara if everything will be okay. Today his father was angry because his father was tired, so he would not corner Aciel in front of his children and make them both become resentful of Aciel.

            “Already, your daddy's okay. Daddy's just tired. So you don't be afraid. Mommy will always protect you.” promise Eden earnestly while stroking the soft top of Ciara's head.

-00-

            On the other side, Aciel looked frustrated as he ruffled his coarse hair. I don't know why today he felt so easily ignited emotions. Slowly, Aciel began to try to control his emotions so that he did not explode like before. Ciara and Louise's frightened face continued to overshadow her head, until she felt riled up by herself. He should not be too provoked by the words of Eden. Especially now that Eden is sick. That woman must be very disappointed in him. But usually he was never that angry at Eden. But I don't know, maybe today he was too tired

because he just got back from Germany. Aciel then massaged his throbbing temple while grimacing in pain. Too emotional on Eden, making his head suddenly become sick and throbbing. Aciel then began looking for a headache medicine inside his wooden desk drawer. The man began to stir up the contents of the drawer

one by one to find a headache cure that he usually keeps in there. Accidentally, his tail saw a small bottle with transparent glass inside the desk drawer that looked suspicious. At first, Aciel had thought that the bottle was a bottle of headache medicine. However, as he began to observe the pill grains slowly, instantly his blood began to boil. As a man, he certainly knows how the usual forms of medicines are used by the ****** to prevent pregnancy. And now Aciel knows

if the drug he currently holds is a drug to prevent pregnancy. Angrily, Aciel went straight out of his room with wide steps to approach Eden. As a husband he felt he had been deceived by his own wife. Though all this time he never lied to Eden, he always put forward honesty in building his household. Now if Eden lied to him like this, would he forgive Eden? I don't know, for sure, he hates those who have lied to him, not least Eden, his own wife.

            “Eden, what is this?” aciel asked flatly when the man was already in the living room. Eden who was initially fondling Louise immediately looked up in shock because suddenly Aciel approached her with words that were so flat and cold. But when the tail of her eyes managed to catch what her husband meant, her face immediately turned deathly pale. Suddenly Eden felt the air around him become thin and made him become short of breath like this. Fearfully Eden began to answer questions posed by Aciel while giving Ciara the code to let her little daughter into her room with Louise. He does not want Ciara and Louise to see the quarrel between her father and mother again.

            “Dear girl, please take Louise to your room. After this mommy will catch up with you.”

            “Jane, please accompany the children in his room.”

            Eden was a little grateful when one of her servants happened to pass by. Even though Eden knew that the servant was frightened by the loud voice of Aciel who had been shouting furiously since.

            “Let's go Mr. Louise, we play together in your sister's room.” take Jane gently and directly hold Louise from the family room.

            “Now explain to me, why do you have this pill in our room drawer?” ask Aciel again. This time the man's voice was colder than before. The aura the man exuded was also colder than usual, making Eden feel completely intimidated and cornered. But as much as possible Eden tried to withstand the emotional turmoil in his chest so that he did not worsen the atmosphere.

            “Ace, I can explain everything.”

            “Isn't everything clear? You have this drug in our room drawer and you've obviously been lying to me, Ed. Tell me where did you get this drug? Is this from Laila?”

            “Emm, Ace please lower your voice a little.”

             “Jawab just Ed, is this from Laila? Is this the vitamin you told me about a week ago, huh!” snapped Aciel furiously. His loud voice sounded so loud all over his silent house. Unknowingly, Eden's tears began to drip out bit by bit. He was so scared and shocked by Aciel's anger today. Since Louise was born, Aciel has shown many changes by not hitting her hard when angry. Even though he was acting so annoying though, Aciel had never scolded him like this at all. But this is different. He knew he had made a fatal mistake. He had lied to Aciel and made the man disappointed by his attitude.

            “I'm sorry Ace. I have lied.” replied Eden with increasingly heavy tears flooding her face.

Prangs!

            Aciel then immediately threw the glass bottle right in front of Eden with a great feeling of anger and disappointment, until the pill grains fell splattered in front of Eden. Eden shouldn't have lied to him like this and let him down. Now Aciel was already angry and could not possibly control his emotions anymore.

            “What do you think I am, Ed? You should have asked permission from me first to use drugs like this. How much medicine have you been taking?” snapped Aciel again. The man looked so terrifying with red eyes and an irregular breath from anger. Now Eden is very sure, if

his mistake this time was truly fatal and unforgivable. Even Eden felt unsure of her domestic life after this. A little bit of today's events will have a pretty bad effect on her future married life.

            “A I.. have drunk it three times.”

            “Hm, good! Just do whatever you want, 'cause now I'm feeling bad for you, Ed. Do you know if I hate a liar so much? I'm disappointed in you, Ed. All these years we've lived together until you should have known how I was all along. Do you realize your mistake? Answer Ed,

answer!” aciel shouted emotion while shaking Eden's body. But, the woman continued to be silent as she sobbed in front of Aciel. Eden's lips felt so stiff and mute that he was unable to say a word to Aciel.

            “Ace, but I'm just not ready. Me...”

            “Can't we talk about this all right? If you tell me everything from the beginning, I will definitely respect your decision and will not press you. But, you presumptuously took action on your own and lied to me by pretending to go to Laila to ask for a bottle of vitamins, when in fact you were asking for medicine to prevent pregnancy. Don't you think of me as your husband anymore, Ed? Are you tired of living with me and being with me, huh?”

            “Aa Ace, I didn't mean it that way. Please don't say that. I'm sorry.” beg Eden with increasingly heavy tears flooding her face. Seeing that, Aciel was completely untouchable and even more grieving angry at Eden. At the moment his emotions are very high, he will not be able to melt with just a teardrop. It took a lot of time to reflect on everything and improve this situation, so Aciel decided to give Eden time. At least Eden needs to learn from his mistakes.

            “Maybe we need to split up for a while. Or if you don't need me anymore, I'll take care of our divorce papers. You don't have to worry, because I don't mind if you really want a divorce. I will not stop you nor ask

custody of the kids, it's up to you, Ed. And I say to you once again, I hate a liar so much!”

            After saying that, Aciel immediately left without caring about the sound of Eden's cry that was so weak calling his name many times to stop.

            With all his might Eden began to run out following Aciel who had entered the car regardless of the call from his wife in the least. Eden then tried to knock on the glass of Aciel's car many times. But the man was still reluctant to turn his head towards Eden, and instead drove his car quickly without looking towards Eden who had slumped on the ground while crying as he pleased. The woman repeatedly hit her chest which felt tight due to Aciel's attitude and words that were so rude to her. Somehow after this how the fate of his family in the future. What is clear is the current condition of his household is on the verge of destruction.
