Eight Years of My Marriage

Nando

Nando is Lion's son from a previous marriage. Nando is the younger brother of Nayla. Nando is now sitting on the High School bench.

" Nando will take turns living here."

Lion stood beside Nando who was in the living room.

" Good." Venus had known before because the Lion had already talked to her.

Nando, looks different to her sister Nayla. Nando was quieter. Maybe because he's a man.

" Come on Nando come in, this is your room, please if you want to rest." Venus heads to the back room where Nando will rest.

" Thank you Auntie."

****

Lion and his ex-wife never communicate again. They never met each other after they divorced. Venus sees Nando and Nayla Victims of their parents' divorce. Nando becomes a less excited child every day. Every day after school, Nando spent time in his room. Nando never even invited to play Nuno.

Sometimes Venus is also astonished by Nando's attitude. Nando was like not bored who just spent the whole day just in the room. Playing cell phone and sleeping.

****

That morning everyone had breakfast. Lion wants to go to the office and Nando also wants to go to school.

" Dear, this is sweet tea and breakfast."

Venus who did not stop back and forth put her feet up.

" Nando, let's have breakfast."

" Yes, Aunt."

" Yes, thank you Aunt."

" I'm the same Nando left first."

Lion who walked along with Nando to the main door and turned on their respective vehicles.

****

From Venus' room came the sound of Nando calling someone. Maybe mother. Nando seemed to answer flatly all the questions addressed to him.

There was only Nando's answer that shocked Venus.

" Mom was always confusing. I've been with you, lonely mother. I live with my mom, I like to get angry not clear. It's Miss." Nando hung up.

From there, Venus can draw conclusions.

O, this is what makes Nando always moody. Not excited about his activities. Nando became a quiet boy.

****

Venus had previously read Nando's message to the Lion. From Nando's message to the Lion read that Nando still has not let his father marry again. Nando also noticed a very distant difference in the Venus household and what her mother experienced. So Nando was sad and always silent. Nando could not accept the fact that his father and mother had to divorce. Venus tries not to get into too much trouble with Nando and his mother. However, a little disturbing in their household. There was no end to discussing the previous Lion household. This is what the dilemma is. Nando becomes a less eager child through life. Sometimes Nando is lazy to go to school because his mood is chaotic. Venus can understand this. Venus feels like she's the Lion's wife now, so little does Venus know how Nando's mother felt back then.

I'm not really that strong against Lion. His nature, which I thought was immature and always wanted to win by myself, made me try to escape. I haven't thought about getting divorced from Lion yet, it's because I still see Nuno.

The deepest murmur of Venus' heart.

Their household problems that Venus says can still be overcome. Making Venus still survive despite the many wounds she had to heal. Now Nando lives with them. Venus and Lion did not want to create a ruckus in their household. Venus will try her hardest as if her household is fine.
