Instantaneous Sweetness

Talak Three?

It's been five days since Andre never came home again. Contacted off his mobile number and asked to mother-in-law also answered mama always did not know and no one ever told her own mother. I'm tired and tired like this. Just left without giving any news even though me and his son are waiting here. I paced back and forth in the room, thinking of Andre who never came home.

Moreover, the photo of me and Andre during the courtship used to fall just to the floor. It makes me anxious to think about it and I don't feel very good. What happened to my husband out there, my God? Ahh, I hope he comes home today in good shape. I was trying to get rid of the prejudice that was haunting my mind. Yeah, I don't want my baby to fuss anymore. Especially if my mind is so upset and sad. Of course it will affect my baby like yesterday.

‘’Oh yes, I haven't watched for a long time even since Rafi's pregnancy. Where know a little comfort me.’’ I hurried to the couch and turn on the television. Instantly I was surprised to see the screen.

‘’Papa? isn't that Papa? Or just like Papa? Owe 2 billion? Huh?’’ suddenly I silenced my mouth so shocked he looked at the one that was being aired on television.

Is that really papa Ardi? But papa's time is that much owed, for what? What's to please her cheating? Then what about the company held in papa's hands? Did mom manage to take it back?

Gegasku turned off the television back and stepped hastily downstairs. I saw my aunt preparing lunch.

‘’Bi, Aunty know not?’’ I said with breath.

‘’Why, Monik? Calm down first herself, hold your breath and let out a relief.’’ Aunty looked astonished and at the same time took a breath and took it out slowly, exemplifying me.

I practiced what my aunt said and was really relieved of my breath.

‘’Well, how, Monik? What did you say?’’ ask auntie back.

‘’ I was going to watch because I haven't watched for a long time, uh know-know-know-know-know news Pak Ardi who was arrested by the police,’’ I said one breath. Aunt was shocked and shut her mouth.

‘’Hah? Whahuh? The real Monik, you are wrong see.’’

‘’Ngak, Bi. I was clearly the name of Mr. Ardi who was there,’’ my murmur.

Aunty momentarily speechless,’’Kalo yes, gratefully it mah. End up very evil with Bu Karni, playing with fire behind her,’’ aunt's nagging with manyun lips.

‘’Aunt mah, even if it was my Father-in-law loh.’’

‘’Eh, ma’af deh, Monik. After Bibi Kesel, let alone the heart of cheating behind his wife who gives treasure and everything. Uh, he betrayed his wife, what kind of husband tried. Not knowing yourself very much,’’ upset aunt looks from the look on her face.

‘’But, yes too, Bi. Maybe it's all in return for the actions of Mr. Ardi so far and let alone have a debt of 2 Millyar,’’ lirihku slowly.

‘’What? 2 Millieres? So he was arrested for not paying off debt?’’ asked the spontaneously shocked aunt again.

I nodded as soon as possible,’’Iya si Bi kalo according to the news aired on TV.’’

‘’But what's that much money for ya, Bi?’’

‘’Maybe for his affair times, Monik. Spoiling an affair with debt, eh can not even pay again.’’ Aunt looks smiling cynically.

‘’Bene also, Bi. I think so, too, but how would Bu Karni know about this news, Bi? I'm afraid—’’

Aunty rearranged the dish,’’Monik just calm, Miss Karni will not syock really. They want to separate, either now they are separated. Bu Karni also will not defend people like Mr. Ardi.’’ Aunty's hands did not stop arranging food at the dining table, but her mouth did not want to stop talking so upset.

‘’You split, Bi? Aunt know where?’’ I whispered for fear of hearing my mother.

‘’Ssttt! Mr. personal driver Bu Karni who said yesterday. Aunty is afraid ahh, ntar sounds the same Miss Karni, can-can Aunt be fired dong.’’ Aunt put her index finger on her lips, a sign telling me to turn down the volume of my voice.

‘’Ma’af, Bi. No, it won't be heard, Bi.’’ I smiled looking at Aunt's worried face.

‘’Eh, Auntie beberes from earlier right? I'm bothering Auntie. Aunty is annoyed, Bi?’’

‘’Not at all, Monik. This is ready, Aunt's mouth is talking and hands are also moving so it is finished as soon as.’’ Aunt laughed a little.

‘’Thank God, Bi. Lunch is ready, right? Let me call Mrs Karni for lunch, Bi.’’

‘’Udah nih, Monik. Uh, usually Auntie calls. Is it okay?’’

‘’Nothing, Bi. Let me just go.’’ I hurried over to the room of the mother-in-law not far from the dining room. The door seemed to be closed by me. I tried to knock without thinking.

‘’Ma, let's have lunch, Ma,’’ lirihku while knocking on the door.

‘’Mama has not laper, son,’’ sahut mama-in-law shriveled in there.

‘’Lah, what time is it, Ma. Ntar Mama is sick again, I don't want Mama why-napa.’’

For a moment the door opened and I looked at my mother's face. Did mom end crying? Is mom crying because papa got arrested? Did you know everything about the news on television?

‘’Mana maybe Mama crying over boy kayak Papa,’’ my inner.

‘’Monik,’’ call mama disperse my daydreams.

‘’Eh Yes, Ma. Let's have lunch,’’ take me. Mama shook her head immediately.

‘’Mama no laper, you first have lunch with Aunt yes.’’

‘’Ngak, Mom. It's not possible for Mama not to be laper.’'

‘’Mama no taste,’’ replied mama later.

I looked at my mom's face like I was hiding something. Are you sad and shocked to hear the news about your father being arrested? Uhh! I don't think you can care about a guy like that. I know what a real mama is even though I haven't known my mother-in-law for a long time. But I've already memorized how a mama Karni.

‘’Mama want to eat what? Let me buyin.’’

Mama seemed to shake her head as soon as possible,’’Mama did not want to eat anything. Mama wants a break first.’’ My mother-in-law hurried to step into the room, but I prevented her by pulling her hand slowly.

‘’Ma, I don't want Mama to be sick. I love Mama. I beg you, Mama eat ya.’’

‘’Ya has eaten, this is because you told me to. Actually Mama no taste.’’ I breathe a sigh of relief and smile.

‘’Alhamdulillah, so dong, Ma.’’

‘’Mama what to eat? Let me buy it outside.’’

‘’Not worth it, darling. Kan Aunty cook earlier.’’

‘’He said Mama has no taste. Oh yes, in front there is a hodgepodge sale. Yummy, Ma. I was bought by Andre.’’

‘’Ya already, that's for Mama. But Bibi who buyin yes, you can not come out later Rafi even cry.’’

‘’Siap, Mom. That's why I called Auntie first.’’ Mama nodded and smiled. I rushed to meet the aunt who was still in the dining room.

‘’Bi, Aunty is ready right?’’ my question immediately approached aunt and made her stop her hand arranging dishes at the dinner table.

‘’But, Monik. A little more kok.’’

‘’What's up, Monik? Need Aunty help?’’ ask her typical smiling aunt.

‘’Iya anyway, Bi. I'd like to ask for help buying Miss Karni hodgepodge in front of our house. Auntie knows right?’’

‘’Ya already, let Bibi buyin. Know Monik, kan Bibi never buy also.’’

I rushed through the pockets of the skirt. Thank God there is still money left given by the mother-in-law a few days ago.

‘’Nah, this, Bi. Buy two packs. One for Aunty and another for Bu Karni.’’ I gave the fifties money to auntie.

‘’Ya already so a pack aja yes, Bi.’’

‘’Monik not buy too?’’ ask aunty while grabbing the money I'm making. I'm shaking.

‘’No need, Bu Karni aja, fast yes, Bi.’’ Aunt nodded and hurried to step outside. While I stepped towards the second floor to make sure my baby is awake or not.

Upon arriving upstairs, I entered the room and I found my baby waking up alone, but he was silent.

‘’Ya Allah, it turns out that Mama's son has woken up nih.’’ I took it slowly and placed the tiny baby on my lap.

‘’Definitely laper yes, Darling.’’ I rushed to give ASI for him. Not long after, a voice sounded familiar to me.

‘’Monik, let's have lunch,’’ invite aunt.

‘’Let's go, Bi. Rafi woke up, oh yes call all Mom yes, Bi. Tell him to have lunch first,’’.

‘’OK, Monik.’’

A moment later my baby fell back asleep. It turns out that if the baby likes to sleep yes, the proof after eating he immediately fell asleep. I slowly put my baby back in bed. And the door creaked for a moment. Who opens the door without greeting first? What aunt? Ah, usually aunt always calls me before entering my room. I hurried to look. I gasped and my eyes glared for a moment.

‘’Ndre? Thank God you finally came home,’’ I watered without me realizing my tears escaped instantly and rushed to him. She was just silent, her gaze was blank and somehow I thought she looked a lot different to me. Or just my feelings?

‘’Ndre! Your son and I miss you. Why have you never told me? Where have you been for a few days?’’ Without thinking anymore I hugged tightly his sturdy body. He was silent and his gaze was sharp at me.

Oh my God, what happened to my husband?

Instantly he let go of the embrace violently without saying a word, making me gasp and bewildered by his attitude. He hurried to the closet. Does he want to pick up his clothes? Nah! this is impossible, I hope my guess is wrong. I continued to follow him and tried to shake off all the bad prejudices that haunted me.

‘’What do you want, Ndre?’’

God is right, he opened the closet.

‘’Ndre! Answer, Ndre! What do you want?’’ This time my tone of voice really rose because he did not answer my question from now on.

He still didn't answer me a word. He took all his clothes out of the closet violently. Makes my eyes glare in disbelief at him.

‘’A—this greeting, Ndre. You why take out all your clothes.’’

‘’Ndre, you can't leave me and your son,’’ cried out with tears seizing the clothes that Andre put in his suitcase.

The harder I tried to grab the harder his hand let go of mine. Because her burly hand was stronger than mine, I staggered back and all her clothes had gone into the suitcase. Slowly I rise.

‘’I was wrong what? What wrong? Don't think of gini dong. Your son again needs affection from his Papa.’’

‘’Udaahh! Enough!’’ it makes me surprised not to play. God, why is he like this? It had been five days that he did not come home and now he returned home with a much changed attitude.

‘’Monika Putri, now also I'm looking at you with talak three. From this second on, you are no longer my wife.’’

Jem! God my body was limp, helpless to hear the words coming out of his mouth. My body shed instantly and tears rolled down my cheeks. I held his leg and struggled at his feet making it difficult for him to step.

‘’Ndree, you don't mess with your words, Ndre. You're kidding right?’’

‘’No, you must be kidding!’’ I said with tears still holding his feet.

‘’Leave! Now you are not my wife anymore!’’ snapped it.

‘’What's my fault? Why did you divorce me? What's wrong?’’ I said behind my sobs. My crying ceaselessly. But Andre had no feelings of compassion in his heart in the slightest attempt to remove my hand from his feet.

‘’I don't love you anymore, satisfied you?’’ he nodded with a loud voice. It was like an explosion in my heart. I can't believe the words that come out of his mouth.

‘’E—no, this is impossible. He used to say you love me,’’ I said in between sobs while shaking my head.

Yes, when we were lovers, Andre often expressed his love for me and treated me like a queen in his heart. But why does he talk so much that he doesn't love me anymore. He said without thinking about my feelings. Is it because there is already another woman who perched in his heart to make his love for me fade away? Was that woman Nina ever betrothed to my father-in-law? God, I can't think like this. The evidence is not there yet, it is not good that I accuse people who are not.

‘’It was! Now it's different again!’’ he grabbed it and tried to take my hand off his leg.

My hands were off his feet, making my head hit the wall. It really hurts my head. He rushed out of the room without caring about me. Made my mom and aunty run to me.

‘’Ya Allah, Monik!’’ peekik.

‘’Ya Allah, Monik!’’ aunt came to me too.

My head feels so dizzy.

‘’Andre! Brash kid! Don't run you!’’ Mama rushed after Andre outside, while my aunt pushed me to the sofa.

‘’Monik, are you okay? And what does the same Mas Andre do?’’ I can only shake this time. And at once I hugged my aunt tightly and my crying broke again.

‘’Bi, what's my fault, Bi? Why did Andre divorce me? Why did Andre leave me?’’ I said in my tears. Auntie stroked my back.

‘’Aunti knows this is hard for you, but maybe this is the best path given by God. Andre is not the best for Monik. The proof is that he always snapped and left you,’’. I took off the hug from aunt and looked at her.

‘’How about my son, Bi?’’

‘’Soal charge for Rafi and you let Mama bear.’’ Mom-in-law's voice. I looked at it for a moment. He seemed to be standing in the doorway.

‘’That's not what I want, Ma,’’.

‘’I want Andre, my son needs affection from both his parents.’’ I wiped my tears violently.

‘’Nak, ma’afkan Mama. Mama can not prevent Andre and ma’af Mama who did not manage to educate Andre.’’ Mom seemed to step over to where I was sitting.

‘’And Mama does not want you to be hurt continuously, just Mama who was hurt because of the work of Papamu.’’ Mom's tears suddenly dripped. He looked at me and grabbed my hand.

‘’Let go Andre, Mama knows this is hard for you. But you deserve to be happy, son. Mama asked, are you happy with Andre? Answer honestly!’’

Instantly I shook my head,’’No, Ma. But Rafi needs her Papa affection.’’

‘’Mama does not know to talk especially, but you must know that a man like Andre is not worth keeping, even if he is the biological child of Mama. Mama doesn't want you to suffer and be hurt.’’

‘’Mama is right, although it feels difficult for me. I'll try to let go. Perhaps this is a recompense from God for all my sins, for my actions that violate His prohibition,’’ I murmured in my heart.

‘’Thank you, Ma. I care about me, I want to accept me here and Mama is so good with me. Let me go from here.’’
