Like Rubbish

Chapter 40.

During the lesson, Andini's mind can not focus. Joseph's attitude, which changed because of her pregnancy, greatly drained her feelings. Until the school hour mark bell ended, he was still pensive even though all his friends had scattered from class. Mr. Nino who had realized the student's anger, ventured to ask.

"Andini, I see you're not focused on the lesson. Are you having a problem ?" still sitting and putting the book in the bag.

No sound could be heard from the still dreamy woman's mouth.

"Andini ! Why are you ?" kinda scream.

Andini flinched and lowered her head. "Sorry, sir. I didn't hear what you said."

"Are you okay ?"

"There's nothing, sir. I'm just a little less well."

"If so, go to the doctor ! Oh yeah, you want to go home or stay at this place ?" smiling seduces.

Andini dyed, it turns out all her friends are no longer there. Then it's time to go home. He'll be up from there soon.

"Sir, I go first. Excuse me !"

"Be careful, Andini !"

Nino felt that something was wrong with the woman. But he can't just interfere. Hope you are well !

***

Andini walked lethargic towards the gate. Why does that hurtful thing still haunt his mind ? She doesn't want to be a bad girl. He was tired of crying over his poor fate. However, again the tears were very happy to surf on his face.

Now his sense of contempt and inferiority re-emerged, even deeper. Joseph no longer looked at him. He felt more disgusting than a wife caught cheating.

Do you no longer love me ? Will you not look for me this time when I disappear ?

Andini slowly wiped her tears as the car that picked her up arrived. He immediately entered, hoping that inside there was a figure waiting for him. But his hope was lost when he found out there was only Mr. Yadi there.

Hate, Andini hates her so weak. Why does she always expect to be picked up by her husband ? Isn't it obvious that Joseph doesn't care about him anymore ?!

Stupid ! You're still living in that house already for profit. Don't expect your husband to do as well as before ! You think there's a man who's willing to accept a wife who's impregnated by another man, even if it's an accident ? You should be grateful to still be his wife with your despicable circumstances !

"But, isn't there also a possibility that this kid isn't that son of a bitch ?! Why does he still not care ?" murmuring softly while sobbing.

The driver who is paying attention while driving, can only exhale heavily. He really could not bear to see Andini sad. But he didn't know what the problem was, after all he had no right to interfere.

***

Andini went into her room. There's nobody there. Is her husband still in the workspace ? Why did he think about it ? Even though the man was in front of him, he would not have received any warmth from Joseph.

Andini walked towards the door as Oma called out to her. The old man immediately entered when the door opened. He brought food for Andini. Both of them sat on the sofa.

"You are pregnant young, you must maintain good health. Last morning Oma saw that you only ate a little, so now Oma brought a lot of food for you. Oma wants you and your baby to always be healthy." Holding Andini's stomach still flat.

Andini held back so hard that the clear crystals would no longer flood her face. "Thank you, Oma. Andini's gonna eat now." Forcing to chew even though his chest feels tight. He cannot show sorrow to Oma.

"Andini, in the household there are so many obstacles that you will face. Oma hope you and Joseph can get through it well. Oma wants you to be together until death do you part." Staring closely while holding Andini's hand.

"I hope it's like that too. Oma just pray for it." Smiling crazily.

After making sure his grandson finished the meal, the old man left.

Andini is still sitting on the couch. When Oma left, the tears she held were broken. Oma loved him so much. Support his relationship with Joseph. But would Oma still do that if she found out that she had been tarnished by another man ?

***

From school, Andini stayed in the room until it turned dark. Dinner was brought by the waiter. When the door of his room opened, he pretended to be lying on the sofa. Who else would enter the room without knocking on the door, other than her husband ?

Joseph slowly walked closer. Staring at his wife who was sleeping on the sofa. Actually there is a sense of guilt for ignoring Andini. But his ego has not gone away, still uncomfortable when remembering his wife's pregnancy.

Joseph lifted up Andini's body and moved it on the bed. Blanketed him and gently rubbed his head. Last time he kissed the top of his wife's head, "Good night, baby. Sleep well !"

Andini is very sick and angry with her husband's attitude. Want him to go berserk why was he treated casually by Joseph ? Indeed, the man did not say spicy words let alone hurt his physique. However, that indifference was more painful for Andini. But on the other hand, she wondered why her husband paid attention when he was asleep ? What exactly was in Joseph's mind ?

For the umpteenth time, she cried without a sound. Her husband has never slept or touched her since her pregnancy was revealed. Was Joseph really disgusted with her ? But why is it that every night the man always kisses his head ? He was really frustrated thinking about it.

***

Early in the morning as usual, Andini always vomited in the bathroom. And her husband must have gone down to the study. Dizziness, weakness that he felt was nothing compared to the heartache incised by Joseph. Let alone to just knead her nape, ask news is no longer done by her husband.

In the dining room.

Joseph was not seen. Andini is increasingly cornered, could her husband lose his appetite if he is close to her ? If so, then it would be better for him not to be there.

Andini moved from her seat and then took a break with Oma and her sisters-in-law. Although they forced Andini to eat breakfast before leaving, but she refused. Hurriedly leaving the house that was getting stifling her chest more and more.

***

Oma slammed the door of Joseph's study roughly. His face was so angry. Just this time the woman was angry at her first grandchild.

"Yusuf, what have you done to Andini ? Why is it that ever since your wife got pregnant, she always looked so moody ? He even hurriedly left on an empty stomach."

Joseph moved from his seat. He didn't even answer Oma's question. He rushed to the kitchen and brought a lot of food. After that, drive the car immediately. Although he wanted to avoid his wife, but if he found out that Andini had not eaten, he must have been anxious.

***

"Andini, wait !" the voice stopped his footsteps towards the gate. Slowly he turned around, actually hesitating with his own hearing. It would be impossible for her husband to be here considering Joseph's recent attitude. But, his eyes were unlikely to lie. The figure of the narrow-eyed man approached towards him.

Joseph offered a large bag of food and drink. "Take it, your stomach must not be empty. Remember, there's a life living there !"

Andini looked at him. Why was her husband so wishy-washy ? Was not Joseph always evasive and indifferent ? But why at other times is he still paying attention to her ?

"Take it, I gotta go. There's still a lot of work to do."

Andini picked up the bag then turned towards the gate. No words came out of his mouth. Although she may be worthy of being ignored, but honestly she felt angry at her husband.

Joseph continued to stand staring at the back until it was no longer reached by his eyes. He misses Andini, but why is his ego so hard to lose ?

***

Joseph decided to pick up his wife this afternoon. The cold attitude that Andini showed this morning, made her feel even more guilty. Perhaps it was time for him to embrace the boy's presence. He did not want to regret later on because he ignored Andini and also the baby who could have been his own flesh and blood.

Just as his car pulled over, he saw Andini at the front gate, entering another car. I don't know who took his wife ? Could it be one of her female friends or a man ? He's got to figure it out for himself.

His eagle eyes continued to focus on the car in front of him. He can't lose track. But damn, he was stuck in traffic so he could not catch the car that continued to speed.

"Arggghhh !" he should have caught up with Andini if the red light hadn't turned on.

"Arggghhh ! Cellphone's dead. Where is he really ? Who took him ?" slam that thing down.

***

Andini is currently sitting on Bu Vivian's sofa room. In addition to missing the woman, she also wanted to ask for a little advice and advice.

"I'm pregnant, Mom." Andini.

"Thank God, that's good."

"My gestational age coincided with the events of that time, it was only seven weeks. I'm afraid, what if this kid turns out to be that guy's kid." Down face.

Bu Vivian's smiling face changed into one of sadness. "Then, what's your husband's attitude ?"

"He said he would always accept me. But his changed attitude, hinting at the opposite. He was always away and impressed not to care. I feel really insulted. What should I do, Mom ?" sobbing.

"Son, maybe your husband is still not ready if the baby in your womb is another boy. Be patient, everything is uncertain. I hope your future son belongs to your husband." Rubbing Andini's head.

"Mom, thank you for listening to me. If you don't mind, may I stay here occasionally ?"

"Mom would love it if you stayed or even stayed here. But you are a married woman. If you want to travel, you have to be licensed. What if he's looking for you again like that time ?"

Andini smiled wryly, "Maybe this time she'll be happy if I'm not with her."

"Son, give me a chance to mend your relationship ! Who knew your husband would return attention again. Never give up on keeping your household intact !"

Andini. Ms. Vivian is right, Andini must be strong to face this tough test.

***

Joseph immediately descended from his room when told by the security guard that Andini had arrived at the gate of his house. The man ran towards there. With his face he looked at his wife who was talking to a man.

So Andini went with her teacher ?! Clenched his hand.

"Andini, where have you been ?" his tone was flat but so intimidating.

"I'm.tadi from Mr. Nino's house, visiting Ms. Vivian." Her husband was so creepy that he made her talk.

Joseph looked at the man sharply. His chest was completely burnt seeing his wife close to another man. In his eyes, Nino was a man who only took advantage of the opportunity to get more familiar with his wife.

"Bad 'em !" Nino collapses after getting a raw bogem from Joseph.

"Ahhh ! What are you doing ?" hysterical Andini. He crouched down to look at Nino's condition, "Father, your lips are bleeding."

Joseph went up and watched his wife worry about the man. He immediately grabbed Andini's hand and forced her into the house. "Follow me, no more extra classes for German lessons ! Time for your favorite teacher to come home !"

"But, what about Mr Nino ? You have to take responsibility for hurting him !"

"He must be taught a lesson for having dared to take someone's wife without permission." Keep walking without letting go of Andini's hand.

"Why are you being so rude ? Release ! I can walk alone !" she screamed but her voice shook because she was crying.

Joseph stopped his steps, turning to the woman who was looking at him full of disappointment and heartache. The tears on Andini's face made her weak and released the grip of her hand.

"You're not the husband I know. You've changed a lot." Run into the house.

Joseph followed him with a limp step. Andini's right, he has changed a lot lately. His heart and mind were so chaotic, his emotions were uncontrollable.

***

Andini cried sobbing hugging the pillow in a slanted position. Why is Joseph's attitude getting more violent ? Where did that good husband go ?

Joseph slowly approached. Sitting behind his wife. "I'm anxious. Why didn't you tell me if you were going to Bu Vivian's house ?"

"For what ? There's no way you'd take me there !"

"Next time don't leave without my permission

especially with another guy !"

Andini sat looking at him sharply. "What do you want ? Want to accuse me of cheating ?"

"No, I just don't like it when you're close to other men. I'm afraid you.." The sentence was cut off.

"What do you care ? Haven't you not even considered me to exist lately ?! You always avoid even when I need it ?" clamor.

"Me, sorry ! I was wrong, but..."

"Say, are you being indifferent from feeling disgusted at me ?! Why didn't you throw away a despicable wife like me from the beginning ? That way, I won't expect much from you anymore."

"Not ! I still love you so much. I don't want you to leave. It's just that my heart is always riled up when I think of that child. I'm afraid that the worst possibility will finally come true."

"Do you think I didn't think about it ? Even my burden is much heavier than yours. I was so scared that the father of the child I was carrying was that lecherous man. Plus the pain of your bad attitude towards me. I feel really humiliated and down."

Joseph bowed to listen to the uneg-uneg Andini. He was wrong.

"Where are you when I need you ? You never know what food or drink I want during pregnancy. But, maybe you don't need to take responsibility because this child is not necessarily your child. Right ?!"

Andini got off the bed to the dressing room. Open the closet and move the clothes into the suitcase. Joseph took the suitcase and put Andini's clothes back in the closet.

"What do you want to do, Andini ? Who told you to go ?"

"Let me go to make your life quieter." He took the clothes again, but Joseph stopped him. He immediately hugged Andini's body tightly. "I was wrong, I'm sorry !" Andini revolted, "Let go ! Don't give me empty hope !"

"I promise you, I won't ignore you no matter what ! I don't want to lose you, Andini !" tightened his embrace while sobbing.

Andini was silent no longer. "I will not force you to accept me and this child. If you feel uneasy or disturbed by our presence, then let me go !"

Joseph shook his head quickly and then kissed his wife. "I never want you to go. I love you so much. I promise I won't hurt you anymore, baby."

Andini sniffled as Joseph crouched on his knees. The hand hugged Andini's waist, the other rubbed his stomach. "I'm sorry papa. From now on papa will pay more attention to you !" kiss the stomach and then stand up again.

"Darling, I'm not going to have this problem anymore. Whoever the father of this child is, then I'll still be his father." Staring fixed while rubbing the face of his wife.

Andini was moved to know that her husband had returned. Joseph, so warm, had returned to him.

"I love you, baby." Joseph hugged Andini even tighter.

"I love you too, baby." Said Andini while sobbing.

In a relationship, it is not always possible to run smoothly. There will be exams. Whether it is light or heavy. The most important thing is how we deal with it and get it done well.
