For the Sake of a Consecrated Word (You Ignore the Wife's Child)
Reasons to Marry Yesha
"Is he your affair? " ask Yesha to the point, without further ado.
When he got an unexpected question from Yesha, he did not expect that Yesha would ask him like that.
"What do you mean, Yesha. You're accusing me of cheating? " dika's speech went up to cover her nervousness.
"I'm not accusing you, but I can see you two. Besides, Dila said. If that woman is more worthy of being your wife than I am, " said Yesha no less high.
Dika was silent, unable to answer anymore. Yesha had completely changed, and could refute all her words.
"Why, right? if the woman is your affair. "ask Yesha again for not getting an answer from Dika.
"You should rarely go home. Turns out you have another stash out there. "
"Shut your mouth Yesha. " When she couldn't control her emotions anymore, she almost slapped Yesha.
"Why don't you keep going, let's hit me. So that I can make a visa, and put you in jail "challenge Yesha.
Clenching his hands, he did not expect that Yesha would actually dare to fight him now.
"That's enough, 'cause I lasted this long. Your family who never accepted me, and always insulted me, you who never defended me and loved Aksa. Now you're adding more harm to your affair. To what point, you and your family will hurt me. " Yesha brought out all her grievances all this time to Dika. Without feeling her tears just flow.
When he heard Yesha speak, he could only be silent and pensive, but he could not bear to see Yesha crying. But Dika persisted not to embrace Yesha, because she realized her actions had hurt Yesha so much.
"If you've never loved me, and you know your family nobody likes me, then why did you marry me? Did you marry me because you wanted to get a free maid for your family? " Yesha still continues to say all her grunts so far, her emotions are also no longer in control.
"Yesh.. " Dika tried to get closer, but was immediately blocked with Yesha's hand.
"Never touch me. I don't want to be touched by your hand that has touched another woman" Yesha said in disgust.
"What do you mean, do you have any evidence that I betrayed you? " challenge Dika.
"I have proof.I have plenty of evidence. Therefore never touch me again, and immediately divorce me. "challenge Yesha.
"No. I will never divorce you, Yesh" said Dika, who still wants to keep her marriage to Yesha.
"Why do you maintain a marriage full of toxic. You also never considered Aksa, you never defended me and supported me properly. So why are you keeping this marriage. " Yesha begins to question her marriage to Dika.
When he was silent, he himself did not know why he would not let go of Yesha. Did he really love this woman before him, or just because he didn't want to hold the status of a widower or because of something else?
"Think about this well. Divorce me, then I will not ask for the distribution of gono gini treasure to you. Or I will demand a divorce, and ask for the distribution of gono gini property to you. I have plenty of evidence that will make it difficult for you at the trial." Yesha threatened and left Dika alone after saying that, leaving Dika stunned by the threat from Yesha.
"Aarrrhggg.... " I was furious and ruffled her hair violently. Then put his body on the chair. His mind was completely dead-end. Should he divorce Yesha, so that Yesha can escape the suffering she had been through.
He looked up to nine or eight years ago when he first met Yesha. At that time he was working as a sales and peddling company products until Yesha village.
The flashback
At that time he was gathering at a stall with several fathers there. At that time Dika was asked by one of the fathers who were there.
"Where are you, mom? " ask one of the fathers there.
"From Surabaya, sir." replied Dika.
"Oh, wong kuto? " (Oh, city people)
"Anake Pram iku calone dadi kembang deso lek wes mateng agee. "cold one of the fathers there. (his son Pram will be a village flower when his age is ripe)
"Came on, saiki ae wes ketok ayu. "reply the other father again. (Surely, it looks pretty now)
"But the important sing, sopo wae sing iso ngerabi arek iku, will mulyo uripe." a father joined the conversation and chimed in others. (But importantly, whoever marries her, her life will be mulya/rich/successful)
"Ngerti ko ngendi you? " ask one of the fathers (or where are you from)
"Wes talah, lek ga percoyo ketok'en drijiku. "the father who said he risked his finger to be cut if the talk was not proven.
Dika who was curious about the words of the father immediately asked him.
"Sir, are your words true? " ask Dika when they have talked together, because the other fathers have left the stall.
"Which one? "asked Father earlier.
"about the man who married Pram's son. "
"Oohh, that's right. The boy brings good luck to the man who married him, and his efforts will also be successful if he opens a business. Anyway his daughter Pak Pram was carrying hockey. "said the father, then left Dika in the shop alone.
Dika thought for a moment, if he was a hockey carrier. I could have tried my luck to marry her "he thought at the time. "
flashback off
So all this time Dika married Yesha not because he loved her, but because of the luck brought by Yesha. And it was proven, Dika who was originally only a salesman, little by little his position crawled up, to become a manager. But he often brushed it all off because of the luck his wife brought him, but because he worked so hard all along.
Everyone does not know the reason why Dika married Yesha, because only Dika knows the reason.
That's why Dika doesn't want to divorce Yesha, fearing her luck will disappear. Although he often brushed off about the luck Yesha had.
The next day, Yesha had prepared breakfast for Dika and Aksa. However, as long as Dika is still her husband, Yesha will still serve Dika even if it is just a formality. For there is no more love in Yesha's heart for Dika. The little love that lived, was extinct because of the affair Dika. There is no more love left. So the last road that Yesha was waiting for was a word of talaq.
Yesha served Dika without a voice, she still ignored him. Because his heart still hurts from the betrayal that Dika did to him. Dika himself feels foreign in his own home at this time. For no more scolding and babbling came out of the mouth of Yesha.
As usual Dika went to work riding his motorcycle, then left at his mother's house. Yesha no longer cared. Fuck the car that Dika bought. Yesha went into the house, and took her clothes and Aksa's clothes. Little by little Yesha would move her clothes and Aksa to her own home. So that there is no burden that he will carry when the divorce occurs. He'll just leave a little of his clothes in this house.
Yesha had really prepared her mind and heart long ago. Ever since he found the irregularities in Dika's clothes while in the washing. Yesha was ready if the divorce would happen.
"Why mom, bring mom's clothes? " ask Aksa innocently.
"Akh, it's okay son. I just want us not to bring clothes every day there. So mom brought a little clothes to change mom and Aksa. " Yesha tries to cover up from Aksa
"Mom.. Last night Aksa heard everything. Aksa is not a child that you can lie to" Aksa told her mother.
Without tears Yesha came out when she heard her son's words.
"It's okay if you're tired. I can give up now and rest. Aksa will always be with her mother, " said Aksa wipe away her mother's tears.
Unable to control Yesha's heart, she immediately embraced the child. Who always understood his mother's circumstances.
"I'm sorry mom, son. If you have to give up. " Yesha sobbed still hugging her son.
