Injuries in the Family

Chapter 27

While in a different place, Nadine with Aqila was busy dropping off some books to put them back to the library during the break.

"Gue has said birthday to Iqbal" Aqila said as they walked to the library on the ground floor.

Nadine just fell silent, she looked down a little. It is rather difficult for Nadine not to say happy birthday, because every birthday is always celebrated together. Aqila was indeed their best friend, but not as close as Nadine and Iqbal.

"What do you think, I give you the gift directly?" ask Aqila.

"Don't, mending later. You know, he's got his girlfriend back in the hospital" replied Nadine.

Aqila fell silent, "Oh that's it.." she replied quietly.

Nadine looked at the sad face of her best friend, although Aqila did not tell her about her feelings for Iqbal, but the movements of the woman had indeed been read to like Iqbal for a long time.

Finished putting the book, Nadine and Aqila chose to go to the cafeteria dubbed the cheap canteen. Choosing the lunch menu this time is meatballs, while Aqila chose to indomie only. Some masang eyes still stare dislike on Nadine, and certainly make the woman become uncomfortable.

"Udah focused on eating, taking them to the statue" said Aqila.

Nadine smiled stiffly, then ate the meatball food she ordered. Indeed for a matter like this, Aqila was the most sensitive. Aqila also helps if under any circumstances, such as her being injured by a blow from Gionino, or the time Aqila is ready to spend for her. Nadine only hopes that this friendship will last until they age, even though there is fear in her heart that for some reason.

"La.."

"Hm." replied Aqila while stirring the noodles.

"Continue saying yes, don't change" Nadine said slowly.

Aqila fell silent, she looked at her best friend. The friend he had was the only one, the friend who understood Aqila like what she was, the friend he had considered to be like a sister to him.

Aqila's smile rose on her lips, "Lo as well, don't let our friendship break down. Okay?" Aqila frowned her little finger which was greeted by Nadine.

"Udah ah! Eat, don't be sad like this I have tears instead of noodles."

Nadine chuckled, and they continued to have lunch together.

By the end of the day, Gionino had landed safely with his business trip out of town. That afternoon Gionino was completely unaware of the arrival of David, his sister-in-law and the room devoted to storing Light goods was moved.

Sarita just read the latest advance in the guest room with a view of the cleaner carrying unused items into the warehouse in the back yard. This time Sarita does not want to be weak, this time she is enough to be the wife of her husband's shadow. Sarita also understands what happened after she did all this, but she is entitled to her own household.

Gionino's car entered the yard, bi Imah immediately trembled in fear. "Mistress.." said bi Imah memelas. Although his age is old, but if Gionino is angry it does not look at the age of anyone will be affected by his anger. But during bi Imah's work for 17 years more did not receive a clash from Gionino and only a reprimand.

Gionino said his greetings before entering the house immediately scrunched his forehead looking at the quite crowded atmosphere, Gionino stared at the skinny man carrying the large painting and his eyes turned to the room he had been waiting for no one to enter, but now the door was wide open.

"Yes! Why are you so brave!" gionino said in a rising voice and approached the construction workers.

"Continue your work, don't beat the man" said Sarita, who now rose and folded her arms.

Gionino tightened his jaw, his eyes staring in disbelief at his wife who did this. Gionino pulls Sarita's arm into their room, but Imah who is staring at it instantly does not know what to do.

"Duhh.. How is this.." you bi Imah by wiping his hand.

While in the room of the couple was tense, Sarita denied her arm which was firmly gripped by Gionino.

"You're nothing at all! It hurts you!" sarita said with annoyance.

"Why did you disturb my room and the Light? Why are you so brave when I'm not home!"

Sarita snorted, "I just moved it to the gold barn, after all the warehouse is clean and my sister wants to stay here anyway!"

Gionino stared in disbelief at his wife, how could he fight back? Is it because of the two days ago debate? So that Sarita can fight him by throwing away his wife's late belongings.

Sarita looked at her husband, "That's just a painting I moved! I didn't throw it away!"

Gionino who heard that instantly had one of his hands already floated into the air, Sarita closed her eyes to receive the slap's cue. After a few seconds of nothing she felt, Sarita dared to open her eyes to see clearly Gionino's hand as if to give him a slap.

Sarita's eyes glazed over, "If you don't love me, you shouldn't have married me!" sarita said slowly.

Gionino's hand in the air clenched, then rubbed his face violently. From the beginning Gionino wanted his own life, but when the letter was found in the bag of his late wife who said not to live alone until the end and wrote a will or message so that he could be with his best friend who was none other than Sarita.

Until the birth of his second daughter from Sarita, namely Hanasya which makes Gionino reluctant to leave the woman who is now his wife. Gionino is more fond of Hanasya, than Sarita and Nadine who are none other than her first daughter. Hanasya still needed a father figure beside her.

"Do I have no right to do this? Do you not realize, that the real woman and there is a form now that I am your own wife" said Sarita again with teary eyes. "If you don't want me anymore, please go to the religious court. I'll take everything, and take Hanasya away from here. You don't have to worry." he continued.

Gionino stared in disbelief at the woman before him. All this time, Sarita had never stated that. Something to do with separation. Did this woman give up?

*tok tock*

The sound of knocking on the door melted the heated atmosphere, Sarita wiped her tears that fell from blinking. Finally the woman opened the door which turned out to be bi Imah there.

"Everything's done, madam. The lawyer wants to go." said bi Imah.

Sarita nodded, she grabbed a small bag of money and walked out of the room that still contained Gionino there. While Gionino was out onto the balcony of the room, he rubbed his face violently. His body was extremely tired, and his mind grew heavier with the matter present in succession like this.
