Distance to Heart

"I'm sorry, didn't I hear wrong?" many ensure.

"Gear me in the eye, Doc. Is it possible, I seem to keep a lie on you?" ask the pregnant woman back.

The atmosphere turned silent and I began to stare intently at the pregnant mother then. He also spoke back.

"I am indeed Erwin's legal wife. My name is Dewi Kumalasari. We got married seven years ago and already have two children, this is my second child from my marriage with Erwin" he explained.

"I'm sorry, does that mean Erwin is married to you who's already a widow?"

"Yes, that's exactly it. I was a widow when I married Erwin. From the beginning his mother did not like me, even until now. I gave him a grandchild, but still. He never acknowledged me as his son-in-law,"

"I also know the relationship between Doctor and Erwin has been running for two years even you are engaged and almost married 'kan," he explained further.

"What! I know all about my relationship with Erwin. But why are you quiet?" I shook my head.

"I've been silent for a long time not because I don't know. This is all because I have been threatened not to be given a living each month by Erwin and my second child will be forcibly taken by Erwin and his mother if I talk about all this on you,"

Both my eyes widened even more when, the woman who was pregnant was big named Goddess. Tell me more about Erwin and his mother. Which of course I didn't know before even hearing that story. I was made to stroke the chest and shake my head because it was so outrageous.

Until not feeling the tears of pregnant women were also broken. Unable to bear all the burdens in her heart that are increasingly piling up because of the burden of life and her psychology is disturbed because of her husband.I know this is heavy. But it's a trial of life and that's what he and his children are going through.

"That makes me even more hurt, Doc. Erwin did not want to acknowledge this child I bear as his flesh and blood, but by God, I swear. I've never cheated on any man in my life,"

"When I met Erwin again. I've been a widow, but I'm an honorable widow, because my ex-husband was a soldier who died while guarding the border in the outback,"

"Well, how did you get to know Erwin and get married?"

"Erwin, who used to be my friend in High School, we both dated, but after graduation we broke up. Because they have their own busy lives. She went to college out of town while I was working and soon married my first husband,"

"Two years after I was widowed, I met Erwin again, then went back to dating. He tried to convince me to get married again. I finally fell down and married her, even without the blessing of her mother Erwin,"

"Well what does Mother Goddess mean, tell me all this?"

"That's because I care about you. Yesterday on the day of Ijab kabul. I suddenly came to his mother Erwin's house. I knew Erwin was there and I locked Erwin and his mother in the room. When they're getting ready to go to the Doctor's house. I don't want people as good and beautiful as you to be fooled and seduced by the sweet seduction of Erwin and his mother,"

I immediately got up and approached Mother Goddess, hugging her by keeping a distance so as not to hit her stomach. I hugged her out of sympathy and empathy. I hugged her as a sign of support and thanked her. Because thanks to his recklessness, I can tell who Erwin really is.

I also thanked him for not marrying her. If this marriage happens. It is not just regret and bemoan your own stupidity. Fooled by the sweet promise of a man named Erwin and not just that. I could also contribute because I could hurt the heart of a wife and child who has been abandoned by an irresponsible husband and father.

At two o'clock in the afternoon I was actually done practicing, but I didn't want to rush home. Because I want to use this time. To get around the hospital. However, suddenly my throat started to feel thirsty and I wanted to go to the cafeteria, but I accidentally bumped into a woman in sunglasses. I watched his movements from head to toe.

"Sorry," he said as he stood opening both palms, wanting to feel something. But from the way she walked I could conclude that this woman was looking for something.

I picked up the stick lying on the floor and gave it to him.

"I'm sorry, which has troubled you" he said.

"Windy!!! You're Windy, right!" kataku.

Windy tried to dodge, he tried to run away from me, but I could prevent him from leaving.

"Wait Win! I'm glad to see you again. I want you to clarify the events of six years ago that happened to me and Andra. What's wrong with you, Win. Until you do that," I said, holding Windy's shoulders.

"I'm sorry, Kay. This is all because I'm the victim of misunderstanding" he said, looking down regretfully.

"Let's go to the cafeteria, let's get everything done there" I asked as I led her to the cafeteria.

After looking for a table and ordering food. Windy and I chatted before going to the heart of the conversation to solve a problem six years ago that has not yet been resolved.

"How you doing, Windy?"

"As you can see, now I'm blind? It's been five years. I was blind after giving birth to my son,"

"Oh, so the story goes. I'm sorry, so where's your husband and son?"

"My son was at home with my parents while my husband-" said Windy, stalled as he lowered his head.

The food and drink I ordered came, but the atmosphere turned silent again. After the waiter left. Then for no reason, Windy suddenly cried tears while saying sorry to me many times. The woman then told me about her past.

After running the action according to plan, Windy also recorded several video scenes while I was with Andra. After that he stayed in another room and early in the morning, he left by public transport. However, unfortunate in the middle of the road Windy became a victim of theft. Because only he was the passenger. All his belongings were confiscated by the thugs in the car.

And not only that, after all his belongings were forcibly taken, his honor as a woman was taken by the head of thugs until finally Windy became pregnant and then forced to marry the head of thugs. Three years ago, her husband went to prison for drugs. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.

"I'm so sorry, Kay. Because it was instigated by misunderstanding and at that instant I got the law of karma for my actions, for you and Andra,"

My tears involuntarily melted, washed away along with the story of Windy which turned out to be more heartbreaking than what I experienced. To be honest, Windy wants to demand divorce from her husband who is still in the law for his actions. However, her husband refused and instead threatened to kill all his family, including Windy. If true, he will sue for divorce.
