Broken Glass

Chapter 5

“I don't want to be divorced, Mas. I really love the same Mas,” Royani wrote in his message. Then he sent out some videos of her crying and wearing a mukena and kept begging her not to divorce Dayan. However, the man flinched. He simply opened the video and showed it to his legal wife.

Bestari smiled cynically when she saw some videos sent by Royani. “Keep if he's crying like this make me feel sorry? A rich actor he doesn't need to be pitied. If you still want to go back with the actor, just go back, sir. I'm willing to split up with my father. I can live alone with the kids.” He returned Dayan's device after seeing the videos.

“I don't want to split with Mom. I still love Mom,” said Dayan who still looks busy with his dress.

“I'm hurt and don't trust you anymore, sir. If you still love me, you should not have another wife for any reason,”, Bestari said. He folded his hands in front of his chest.

"I feel sorry for him, Mom," said Dayan.

"Sir, pity her, but do not pity me?" Bestari stared intently at her husband.

"Yes, I feel sorry for you too."

"Already sir, my head is dizzy. Starting tonight I sleep with the kids. I don't want to sleep in my room let alone go back to bed with my father." Bestari got up from her seat and went into the room. Take pillows, bolsters, and also blankets. Take him to Riri's room, his eldest son.

Bestari knocked on Riri's room door. "Ri, are you asleep?"

"No, ma'am," said Riri from inside the room.

Bestari then opened the door of the eldest's room. Riri looked down, working on something at her desk.

"Mom's going to sleep here, can't you, Ri?" Bestari put her sleeping device on the bed.

Riri looked up and turned to the mother who was sitting on the side of the bed. "Of course I can. Mother why? Fighting with Father?" tanyanya.

Bestari took a deep breath before speaking. "Ri, no matter what happens with mom and dad, you and Ratna should stay focused on learning. Next year you will face a graduation exam. So, I hope you don't think about anything else. Enough school and learning" he said.

Riri stopped his activities. He got up and sat down next to his mother. "What the hell is it, Mom? Come on, let me not be curious," he urged.

"The father has mortgaged this house, Ri," said Bestari.

It was like being struck by lightning when she heard her mother tell her the truth. Riri stuttered. "What-what? Ib—You're joking, right?"

Bestari. "Why are you kidding me about this serious thing, Ri. You did pawn the certificate of this house to a loan shark. He owed three hundred million and had to pay four hundred and fifty million. Within a month and a half, you must return. Otherwise this house will be taken by the loan sharks."

Not lost his surprise when he heard the house was mortgaged, there was already something even more surprising. Riri's head became pulsating, suddenly the pain attacked his head Everything he learned earlier, instantly disappeared without a trace. Another closed tragedy.

"What is that much debt for, Mom? What's for the business you said yesterday?" asked Riri with a head that felt dizzy.

"It's her, Ri. I haven't asked further. Mom's head is dizzy," I'm Bestari.

"Mom rest first. I'm also dizzy, but I have to do my job because I'm gathered tomorrow." Riri went back to her desk.

Bestari's speech made Riri turn her body again, facing her mother. "What, Mom?" His forehead looked puckered.

"Father secretly has another wife, Ri," said Bestari.

"What-what, Mom? You have another wife?" Riri doesn't want to believe what he's hearing.

Bestari. "Yes, Ri. I have a wife siri."

"Yes, God. I have the same heart as my mother and us. Don't remember what all this time you always depend on Mom." Riri became an emotion. His jaw hardened and his hands clenched. I want him to curse his father who has always looked quiet. It turned out that behind his silence was a big secret.

"Astaghfirullah azim." Riri said a thoughtful thought repeatedly while stroking his chest.

"You don't tell Ratna about this yet. Later the mother will tell him slowly," Bestari's message to the eldest who was replied by a nod by Riri.

"Mom told me the same story because I believe you can think more mature. You can put these problems aside and stay school focused. Even though I know you'll definitely keep thinking. But I believe you're capable, Ri." Bestari looked at her eldest daughter with great love.

"Yes, Mom. God willing we can get through this together."

"It's hard, you continue your studies. I'm gonna try to take a break so I can think clearly tomorrow."

"Yes, Mom." Riri went back to the study table and turned to the mother who had been lying down. Without him noticing the tears dripping from the corner of his net. The pain he felt from his father's betrayal made him cry. Various flavors raged inside the chest, but more dominating anger and heartache.

Riri thinks that his father really does not know himself. If none of his mothers supported their lives, I don't know what would happen. Always ask for money from his wife, but secretly betray. A righteous husband in the opinion of the people, because always practice five prayers at the mosque, but in fact so hearty betray and hurt his own family. That's proof that he doesn't understand the teachings of his religion. The best husband is the best to his wife.

The next morning the routine went on as usual. It's just that Bestari doesn't talk as much as usual, so does Riri. Only Ratna remained cheerful every morning because she did not know there was a big problem in her family.

If Riri's school was a short distance away, he would rather ride a bicycle. However, because the school is in the city and the distance is tens of kilos, he was forced to piggyback the father until the school.

It was the afternoon when Bestari, Riri, and Ratna were at home. They chatted the three without Dayan who had not come home from the office.

"How about we stay at the shop three?" bestari asked her two daughters. He looked at them in turn.

"What's the matter, Mom? It's good to live here why in a shophouse?" ratna protests.

"You know you want to sell this house. Instead of us having to move out of the blue, so it's better to move out of now." Bestari.

"Do you want to stay in the shophouse or will you stay here?" ask the forty-year-old woman.

"I ...."
