39. Start from the beginning.

Marinka sat in the hospital bed with a blank look. Many times his uncle, aunt, and Marvin persuaded him to eat. But not a word came out of his mouth. She still can't believe she lost her baby.

Suddenly Marinka covered her face then cried hysterically. Started beating himself up. It overwhelmed the three people.

"Don't hurt yourself. I'm begging you ". Marvin pilu.

" I want my son, give him back ". Shouted Marinka hit even clawed Marvin.

" I beg you not to be like this, control yourself ". Marvin hugged Marinka tightly.

" I know I'm wrong, let's start over. I'm sorry ".

" Let go of me, leave me, go ". Marinka. Trying to get away from Marvin.

" Dear, don't be like this, ". Uncle Mike advised.

" Uncle I want to go home, I want to be with aunt Elly. I want to go home ". He hugged his uncle while crying.

Marvin stared bitterly at his wife. He doesn't even want to talk to her anymore. Marinka really hated it. What way should he apologize.

It was in that moment of turmoil that Thomas and Emily came. Marvin was going to throw him out. But undo it because it does not want to make everything more chaotic. Emily approached Marinka. Emily had no power to hold back her tears. Then he hugged Marinka. It surprised Marvin. Thomas stared intently at Marvin.

"What's wrong with you? Why is it like this? You promised you'd always accompany me to eat cotton candy. Why are you lying? ".Emily cries while hugging Marinka.

" I'm sorry Emily, I can't keep my word. I'm sorry ". Marinka's getting fucked.

" Be calm, everything will be fine. I'm with you ". Emily said as she rubbed Emily's back.

" No Emily, everything's not okay. I lost my son. I've been with him three months now ". Marinka's getting fucked.

Thomas couldn't see Marinka being hit like that. As long as the woman was with him she never grieved what else was crying. The woman is always cheerful and always delivers cheerfulness to those around her.

Thomas looked back at Marvin. Their gazes clashed. Then as fast as lightning Thomas pulls rough Marvin carrying him out of the room. And threw it against the wall violently.

"Whatchu mean? ". Marvin said.

" You're still asking what I mean? What have you done to her that she lost her baby? Huh huh? ". Thomas clutches Marvin's shirt collar.

" Nothing I do, what do you think? You think I tortured her? Am I that kind of person? ". Said Marvin brushed aside Thomas's hand.

" It's true you didn't torture his body, but you tortured his mind and mind".

"What do you care? Whoareyou? You have no right to interfere in my affairs! ". Hardic Marvin.

" I have no right. But as long as it has anything to do with Marinka, I'll be the first to protect her ". Thomas said with great emphasis.

" get away from the shadow of Marinka. She's my wife ".

" And you're a husband who can't take care of his wife. And you didn't even know she was pregnant with your child ". Thomas's words hit him hard.

" You also know she's pregnant? He even told you ". Marvin said bitterly and then resuscitated his body on the wall. Then he leaned on his knees.

" He never told me. But I do know when Emily and Marinka simultaneously went to Amelia's doctor ". Obviously Thomas.

Marvin shakes in disbelief. Of all the people closest to Marinka, only she was unaware of the change.

" So was it true that Emily was with you last night? Also yesterday? ". Ask Marvin lirih. Thomas tried to digest.

" Do you really not believe in Marinka? So you think he lied to you? ".

" I don't know.... I don't want to believe it. But if you were in my shoes maybe you'd be angry too ". Said Marvin while propping up his phone. Thomas accepted doubtfully.

" What is this? ".

" look.. ". Answer Marvin flat.

" this... Where'd you get it? ". Thomas asked, not believing what he saw.

" I don't know. Someone sent it to me ". Marvin answered while sitting his body in the seat available in the hallway.

" God... This must be what makes Marinka depressed ". Mumbled Thomas. Then Thomas pulled out his cell phone and talked to someone across the street.

********

The white room left only two people, Marvin and Marinka. A while ago uncle, aunt, Thomas and Emily said goodbye. Marvin sat in the chair a little away from Marinka's bed.

While Marinka sat leaning back while occasionally wiping her tears that sometimes still came out. For a moment Marinka's eyes stared at Marvin's face which was closed with a sitting position. Both hands are crossed. There were some scratches on the man's face and arms.

For a moment the woman felt guilty. Maybe Marvin's really tired. Since yesterday he has also not rested and has not eaten properly. While looking at her husband, suddenly the brown bead opened and immediately turned to Marinka. Marvin was surprised Marinka looked at him deeply while tearfully pacing her eyes.

"You okay? Is anyone sick? ". Marvin said and approached Marinka. Marvin clasped his hand. Marinka is no longer rejecting or hysterical as before.

" no... ". Answer Marinka briefly." Have you eaten yet? Eat it later you're sick ". Marinka. Marvin shakes.

" If you want to accompany me to eat, then I will eat ". Marvin.

" But I'm not hungry ". Said Marinka while twisting both hands on her shoulder.

" Are you not working? ".

" Do I need to answer that silly question? ". Marvin flat said.

" Eat, you'll be sick Marvin ".

" I've been used to being hungry and sick at the same time since I was a kid. So don't worry ". Marvin's flat speech makes Marinka a little guilty.

" I don't want you to get sick because of me. Eat ". Marinka said slowly.

" You're here because of me, too. So let me pay for it ". Marvin said. I could not feel Marvin's tears falling. The man cried for the first time after he grew up.

" I'm sorry for not being honest with you ". Marinka pilu. Marvin hugged the woman.

" What are you saying, I'm the one who should apologize. I don't see your change. Let's start over. Let's open up to each other ". Marvin. Marinka just nodded. Repeatedly Marvin kissed the top of Marinka's head. She was so grateful that Marinka would talk to her again.

Marvin then took a plate of rice complete with side dishes and then began to feed his wife. Don't forget he's also feeding on himself. He didn't give that opportunity away.

She was worried that Marinka would change her mind and not eat anymore. Sometimes Marvin tidied Marinka's hair and pinned it behind her ear. They look like an older brother feeding his sister.

Marinka sometimes acts like a child and is always spoiled for Marvin. That's how they were from before. But since the wedding Marinka is more closed and more restrained. And Marvin chose to follow the groove Marinka created. Both do not open and end up in this place.

Suddenly the door opened. Marvin thought it was the nurse who came but when he saw the change in Marinka's face the man immediately turned to look at the door. Marvin breathed a heavy sigh.

"How are you, brother, I'm looking for you in the office you're here ". Said Arina who came only to find out the whereabouts of Marvin. Marvin didn't want it to feel like he was throwing the woman out.

Marinka refuses a bribe from Marvin.

" I'm full already ". Marinka lirih.

" You just ate five mouthfuls. Open your mouth again ". Marvin said forcefully, but Marinka shook her head. Marvin gave up, at least Marinka had eaten a little. Marvin then offered Marinka a drink. Marvin completely ignored Arina. And that pissed Arina off.

" sister, I'm talking to you, why silence me?". Arina asked a little sulking. Marvin nosed his nose. He was completely overwhelmed to face Arina.

"Arina... And never look for me ". Marvin said firmly. Marinka then lay down on her back. And pull the blanket over his ears.

" I'm worried about you, since yesterday you've ignored me ". Arina's words make Marinka bite her lips so that her crying does not come out.

" I'm looking after my wife, so go home. He needs a break ". Marvin says sharply.

It makes Arina angry.

" all right.. I'm going home. I'm sorry about your baby ". Arina said casually without looking at the concern of her tone.

" Where did you know Marinka lost her baby? ". Marvin asked full of questions. He did not let this news spread considering his name in the business world is very well known to many people. He did not want many people to express excessive sympathy for not wanting to hurt Marinka more.

Arina smiled and approached Marvin.

" I always knew everything about you". Arina whispered right in front of Marvin's face.
