Divorced for Poor

Chapters 10. Bickering

Lilis smiled as she lowered her head, then she looked back at the handsome face of her husband that had fooled her. A handsome and nice face is not necessarily his heart the same as his face.

"Yes, mas. There was a leasing party coming."

"Why did they come?" ask Desta worriedly.

"I should have asked Desta. Why do they come, while all the motorcycle installments are paid off?" lilis said holding back the upset.

"Lis, why is your tone like that? I've paid off, your bike installment. They must have been the wrong data."

Desta looked confused and anxious. Moreover, seeing Lilis seem annoyed and angry at him. This was the first time Lilis dared to invite him to argue and dared to ask a lot.

"Truly, they're wrong. Mas Desta's…!"

Lilis' screams made Desta panic.

"Darling, you're pregnant. Don't get carried away with emotions, "Desta approached Lilis and held Lilis' hand gently. But Lilis quickly released Desta's grip.

"Mas, why don't you just be honest with me. I can't take it anymore, Mom. How much did you lie to me?"

"Darling, what's the lie?" ask Desta to pretend to be stupid.

"You see, mas. My motor is no more. My bike's been taken by leasing. Do you make money on motorcycle installments? I've been trying to save money, and received the allotment of shopping money you gave me. Even less I almost never ask for more from you. Because I remember, we still have unpaid motorcycle installments."

Lilis tried to hold back her emotions, but today all she wanted to say was everything she wanted to say.

"You saw me, mas. Ugly, right? Dirty, smelly, dirty and not attractive at all. Especially if I am pregnant. You must be disgusted to see me too. Village girl who is a village like you once said. Here's the result, I married you, Desta mas."

"Dear, don't say that. It was an emotion" said Desta, trying to lower Lilis' emotions.

"I never demand more than you can give, ma'am. But at least don't lie to me. You think I'm stupid, and you keep fooling me. Today, I'm giving you the chance to be honest. Because, next time I won't accept your lies anymore, Desta. Whatever it is, whatever it is, say it."

Lilis looked at her silent husband after hearing his words. It looked as if Desta was thinking and looking at Lilis face that was truly angry. The lies that Desta did were numerous, it was impossible to tell Lilis in a high level of emotion.

"Already, mas did not pay the installment of the motorbike. At that time, I needed additional capital. I had to use that money for the motorcycle installments first. If there is a result, I will change. Who knows, my efforts have not been successful. Even now threatened to fail."

"Why, didn't say from the beginning, ma'am. We can negotiate and find a solution. I'm also not a stiff person and don't know the state of the husband."

"If I told you, you wouldn't let me use that money either."

"Is that how I look at you, mom? As a wife, I also want to be involved in a decision. Not only must you say yes, without having a view. Although I am poor, I also deserve a proper position as your wife, Desta. Or if all you need is a wife you only put on display at home, I can't, mas."

"What the hell, why is this conversation going nowhere? I don't feel at home. I'll just go. You think carefully about your mistake of having made your husband not at home."

"Mas, Desta. There's still so much you need to explain to me."

The shadow of Desta and his bike is no longer visible. Lilis was still standing in her place, as if her feet were already attached to the floor of her house. Tears flowed with her sick heart. Heartache because until now her husband still can not be completely honest with her.

Lilis sat weakly in her living room chair. His emotions this time had drained a lot of the energy he had. Her mother came out of the room and immediately approached Lilis who was still tearful. The embrace of Lilis who is currently in the limit of patience to face her husband.

After an hour passed, Lilis felt her stomach ache. It was never imagined that at this moment he would experience such a great contraction. Lilis almost cried if she did not remember, she would be laughed at by people. When making children, they are happy. The turn will give birth, cry and feel unable to bear.

With all her strength and energy still remaining, Lilis tried to endure the pain. Lilis asks Ms. Siti, to contact Desta immediately. Bu Siti's call came in, but there was no answer. Repeat it again and again. Still not lifted. Lastly, Desta's phone was turned off.

"Lis, be patient. I'll get help for a while to get you to the hospital."

"Yes, Mom. Lilis can still hold on."

In a state of panic, Ms. Siti ran in a hurry to Wendi's house which is 100 meters from the house of Bu Siti. Coincidentally Wendi was sitting on the terrace of the house while drinking coffee.

"Assalamualaikum, son of Wendi."

"Wa'alaikum greetings, Miss Siti, what's wrong?"

"Please take Lilis to the hospital. Her stomach hurts, and she's so scared."

"Yes, already. Waita minute. Wendi get the car keys first."

Wendi rushes to get the car keys, while Bu Siti runs back home. Lady Siti tried to calm down Lilis who was still in pain. Not long after, Wendi's car came and they immediately took Lilis to the hospital.

Arriving at the hospital, Lilis was immediately treated by a doctor. They took Lilis into a delivery room and no one was allowed to enter.

Ms. Siti and Wendi waited anxiously. Lady Siti was worried because Lilis and Desta had just had a big fight. It's possible that their quarrel triggered an early contraction. And it could be dangerous for Lilis. Because the estimated birth of Lilis is still 3 weeks away.

But if God willed, the son of Lilis was born today, it would also be a blessing for the marriage of Lilis and Desta. Ms. Siti tries to call Desta back, but Desta's phone is still turned off.

"Bu Siti, just send a message. Maybe he will read it later. If you can't, let Wendi help you write. Lady Siti just prayed for the safety of Lilis and her baby."

"Please son Wendi. Thank you, mother will take ablution after that pray that Lilis and her child are fine."

Bu Siti hands Lilis's phone to Wendi who immediately arranges a word to send a message to Desta.

One message sent, but still tick one. Wendi sent back and still remains the same, tick one.
