" Want to eat ?" mr. Satrio asked as we exited the shopping mall. There's not much we buy just some clothes for Tough. I refused to be bought by him. I feel like my clothes are more than enough.
" I don't think eating in a cafe makes you feel better, do you ?"
" We're looking for something like soto or rawon ?"
" Yes.." I replied in agreement with his proposal.
" Furthermore so after that,"
" Come Dik Rin.
" I'd rather eat here than." I said as we sat next to each other in a restaurant.
," At the cafe you mean.
," Yeah......,"
," All right if we eat. I follow your taste. Just so you can be comfortable. You eat first."
," Mum .....?"
," Tough need ASI, after you," while taking Tough. Mr. Satrio let me eat before him. Looking at me and endlessly smiling at me.
," I love you. and our son," he said, to my surprise, making him laugh.
" What's a dream, huh...?"
He nodded slowly very slowly. Netra he saw me. He breathed a long breath and straightened his body. Slowly his hand grabbed and played my hair.
" I really love you and our son..... Had we met earlier, maybe our relationship wasn't like this,"
" Max ....?"
" I really said love you and be tough. Don't laugh" he whispered, leaning closer to me.
" When did you love me and become romantic.....?"
" Since I saw you at the cafe that day. I came back to pick you up. But........"
" .....?"
" Dik Asri forbade me..... I saw you walking towards the taxi, bowed while hugging Tough. That's where I know, it turns out I love you as much as I love Dik Asri. I want to have you like I have Dik Asri."
Momentary silence..... His hands are still playing on my hair. His breath was heard clearly from his lips.
" I didn't call you on purpose because I wanted you to call me first. Angry, berating, or even swearing. I'll gladly accept it,"
" Why don't you do it ? I'm your husband who made you hurt,"
" I.....I can't......"
" Why......?"
" I just want to live quietly."
" Yes.I'm a husband who can't give you a sense of calm. But to divorce you I won't be able to."
" Did I have Asri why should I have me too ?"
" I love you and Dik Asri."
I smiled thinly. My eyes are glazed - glass for what reason ? This sentimental feeling entered just slipped into my sturdy heart. Does Mr Satrio really love me....? Does he really love my son ?
Mr. Satrio kissed Toughly for wriggling want in a standing car.
" Thank you for giving birth to Tough. Fruit of our love,"
My chest is claustrophobic with the words of him who calls Tangguh the fruit of our love. That was my hope all along. I want Tough to be born out of the affection of his parents. Tough was born because his parents loved each other. Not because of biological desire.
Mr. Satrio slowly drove the car to park in front of my house. Open the door for me and take Tough so I can easily get out of the car. Walking while holding my shoulder. Tough stay asleep due to fatigue on the way. You are very happy to see me coming with Mr. Satrio. Maybe he was relieved to see his son-in-law back in this family. He thought Tough from the sling of Mr. Satrio. Let me and Mr. Satrio in the room to rest. I have tried to take Tangguh so as not to disturb the father, but he subtly forbid.
Mr. Satrio hugged me from behind and kissed me the top of my head many times. This room he has locked out for some reason. Maybe we should be free to talk.
" Dik Asri wants us to get married again officially,"
"Oh so this is what made the mas pick me up and be nice to me ? I asked while taking off Mr. Satrio's embrace. Succeeded.
" No. I really - really love you. I told you earlier, I want to have you and Dik Asri fairly. Dik Asri promised never to cheat again, if we were to get married officially."
" Why should I get permission ? "
" Because I need your permission to tell my parents."
" I could've married without your permission. But I didn't, because you're my wife."
" Please divorce me first."
" No. I will never ."
" My divorce, what is retained from our household, We never love each other,"
" I love you as much as I love Dik Asri. We have the tough fruit of our love."
" Fruit of love says mas.....Mas know very well.Why Tough born. Did mas come during my pregnancy Tough ? Did you accompany me when I gave birth ? There's nothing, isn't it ?
" It's the past, now we're talking the future. "
" Our future has only one, divorce."
," You're sure we'll ..........?"
," Sure..surely - sure....."
" REally.......,"
" Really.... Don't come any closer......"
," Why........ ? you're my wife.It's appropriate that you do your duty,"
" You still want a divorce.....? " ask him a few moments after my duty is done.
" Yes...I want a divorce," my words increasingly make Mr. Satrio freely do all over me. I let him get exhausted with all his actions.
" I filed for divorce tomorrow....."
," On what basis ? Economic issues ? Polygamy ? Doesn't fit ?
" Yes everything. Including harassment s****l," I'm upset
" Harassment s****l ?
" I...... ? Doing to you ? As I recall you were also glad I did that, you were also spoiled for me. And last time yesterday, you asked again."
My face was a dead red holding back the shame and anger into one.
" No .. I never did. Who always forced,"
" Forcing. Oh that...sometimes - sometimes I do ask a little assertively because you're still shy, but it's not forcing"
" it's just as pushy, it's a synonym of his name,"
" That's your duty madam, a wife's duty"
" Ah I don't want to know. I'm filing for divorce tomorrow,"
Mr. Satrio stared intently at the blazing black Netra in wait for the embers.
" I mean it - really, if you file for divorce. I'll make sure Tough is mine. And you're gonna be like a madman wanting to meet Tough,"
" I'm his mother....Tough come with me,"
" I'm his father. Can you get pregnant on your own without my help ? Do you think like a flower that can get pregnant with the help of the wind carrying pollen ? You should have thanked me. Because of me, you can get pregnant and give birth to tough. I'm entitled to Tough,"
This quarrel stopped because we were the same - just as exhausted as the curse that became. Mr. Satrio was the one who started the fight. He also ended. Sleeping behind me with a pillow covering his face.
" Speak as you please. We will never divorce. I'm going to bed. I'm tired of long journeys and of your scolding,"
I stood up and walked out of the room.
" Don't sleep outside. Take Tough and sleep here otherwise I'll carry you forcibly to sleep here,"
" I'm heavy" I replied
" I'm still strong. You weigh twice as much as now I'm still strong."
" Om - o'm haughty, stubborn."so I slammed the door.
Seriate.......
Don't forget to leave her like.
Thank you for reading my novel.....
