"Enough! I don't want to listen to anything you say anymore. Don't make me feel any more fed up with you, Dina. It's been crazy enough that you've been making. Don't add any more."
Albi remembered what his mother had said before. The mother who always complained of being tacky was also too possessive of his wife every chance.
"Your wife is too jealous, Al. Poor Sela, you know? He always does it with Sela every time he comes face to face. Mama was astonished by that boundless attitude of jealousy. For a long time, my mother was bored also living in this house. There's no calm at all."
"It's all your fault, Albian. It's good you married Sela whose son is good. Eh, even want to marry a village child who has no manners at all. Don't have your eyes on this cake, Al."
Albi thought about everything that had passed so far. Over eight months she married Dina. Dina's gentle, unpretentious attitude suddenly disappeared somewhere.
'Was I wrong to marry Medina all this time? What I saw with what Medina said felt very much different. It might be true what mama said, Dina is too possessive and also the most jealous. I also feel uncomfortable with the attitude that Dina has shown all along.'
Albi spoke inwardly as he continued to stand where he stood before. While Albi was busy daydreaming, the two humans who were in the living room smiled slightly after they exchanged glances for a while.
Then ....
A voice resuscitated Albi from his daydream.
"Al, what are you doing there anyway?" Her mother spoke directly.
"Yes, Albi. Why even dream there? Don't think too much about what happened. I'll help you as much as I can. Take it easy, I'll help you investigate all this to the fullest." Sela also won what mama Albi said.
"Oh, thank you very much, Cell. I feel bad about you. You're still willing to help me after what I've done to you all this time" said Albi as he walked closer.
"Liet down. Can't be together as lovers, we can still be in a relationship as friends, right Al? I have been close to this family for a long time. I consider your family a part of my family. So, there's no problem for me to help you."
Albi did not answer what Sela said. The door of the house opened with Medina from behind the door.
Aware of Dina's presence, Sela immediately took the opportunity to provoke Dina's jealousy to rise again. Sela's hand immediately wanted to hug Albi who happened to be sitting not far from Sela at this time.
That Dina saw clearly. And, because of that, Dina could not help herself. He immediately shouted loudly at Sela so that Sela's intention failed.
"Sela! Just stop! Keep your hands from doing anything bad to people's husbands."
The impact left them all shocked. Except, Sela of course. He who knew it would happen, must be very happy. And, keep trying to pretend to be very surprised at the clash that Dina gave.
Albi who heard that immediately got up from his seat. He looked at Dina with a sharp gaze because it was too impressed with what had happened just now.
"Mas, I'm just keeping what I got. That's all."
"Keep what you got? What should you take care of, Dina? What!?"
"You, Mas. You!"
"I try to keep you from him who wants to hold you in front of me. You are my husband, I will not let any woman touch you. Moreover, touching you in front of me."
"Your wife is crumbling again, Albi. This too severe jealousy pain came again. Really, I don't know what else to say to express the annoyance I'm feeling right now. Clearly, I'm upset and too embarrassed right now."
"Sela, forgive the attitude of the wife of my son that I really cannot advise. I don't know what wrong my son made until he had a wife who was sick like this" said Mama Albi again in a very depressed tone.
"Tante, maybe I'm wrong. Dina is right. He just keeps what he has. Keeping her husband from me. But the thing is, I didn't do anything. So, he shouldn't have to be so possessive as he just was."
"Sela. Your words are too sweet. I see with my eyes, if you're trying to hug Albi's mas."
"Dina, enough! What nonsense did you just say, huh? Why are you so jealous like this, Dina? I really can't say anything more to you than the word, I'm sorry I brought you back here. I should have let you stay in the orphanage where you grew up. Because over there, is the most suitable place for you as it seems."
Dina's eyes instantly widened because of the words Albian had said just now. Really, her heart was very sick to hear the words her husband had just said. Tears can no longer be shed. Maybe because it was too painful, she could not cry anymore now.
"You ... said sorry to bring me back here, Mas?" dina asked trying to gather all her remaining consciousness.
"Yes. I'm sorry I brought you home. However, now I'm not just sorry for bringing you home, Dina. But I also regret having married a jealous woman like you."
Plaque!
A slap directly landed on Albi's cheek. Suddenly, Albi immediately held her cheek because the slap made her face feel hot. While his mother and Sela were immediately surprised by the slap that Albi received.
"Dina! Are you crazy! Why are you so sassy slapping my son's face, huh!" Mama Albi held her child's shoulder gently.
"You! I never slapped my son in the face. Why are you even brave? Basic women don't know themselves and don't have your manners, Dina."
Dina was silent with those words. In fact, he also did not realize why the hand could just float away. Perhaps because the heart can no longer be patient, then the hand acts quickly. But clearly, Albi deserves that slap even though she will be branded as a perverted wife for having presumptuously slapped her husband.
"Al, are you okay? Your wife is crazy now, Albi. A woman like this you defend? I really don't think you're the same, Al."
