LOVE BEHIND THE VEIL

74. Disillusioned

Gavino froze in place, his body stiffened, his heart pounding. I hope he hears wrong.

"Can you repeat what you said just now ?". Gavino said slowly.

" Hmmm...!! Danira sighed, closed her eyes for a moment, then repeated her words again.

"It looks like we'd better end this marriage ". Repeat Danira, with busy hands putting his clothes in the suitcase.

" Why all of a sudden, eemm...I mean why did you even agree to end this marriage now ?".

" What if we end now, it's the same, either later, or now. We'll stay apart not ". Danira said, clenching her suitcase and then, getting out of bed and ready to pull it out.

" Danira.., wait a minute, we have to talk about all this in a good way. Aren't you the one who always reminds me to solve problems without emotion ?". Danira let out a long sigh, she stopped her steps.

" Okay...!! say what you want to say ".

" Why did you get this angry, is it because of Stevani's words ?". Tanya Gavino, hearing her husband's question made Danira smile miris, it turns out her husband bulum understand also or indeed insensitive.

" You really want to know?, you sure ?". Danira asked, looking at Gavino who replied with a nod of his head.

" Who am I to you right now ?". Danira asked, trying to be calm.

" You're my wife ".

" Why did you let your girlfriend into this house?".

" I know, this is your house, maybe you used to spend a lot of time here. But can you try to appreciate my current existence, in this place ?". Danira said with a voice beginning to tremble, her eyes condensing. Gavino begins to understand what made Danira take that decision.

" I don't know if Stevani is here and I admit Stevani did know the password of this house, because I forgot to change the password". Obviously Gavino, Danira just nodded in understanding.

" Thank you for the explanation ". Danira said, then pulled the suitcase again, seeing Danira began to step past him, Gavino quickly grabbed the suitcase in Danira's hand, then threw it into the corner of the room.

BRUUKK*

Danira's eyes follow the direction of her suitcase thrown by Gavino, and Danira sees Gavino sharp.

" Why did you throw away my suitcase ?". Sugut Danira, starting to be unable to control his emotions again face the attitude of Gavino who has been outrageous in his opinion.

" I'm not done talking. Why do you even want to leave. Are you jealous of Stevani ?". Gavino said, in a slightly loud voice, hearing Gavino's voice rising, Danira turned her body to face Gavino.

" YES I'M JEALOUS" Danira choked, unable to control her emotions anymore.

The deg *

Gavino was silent at Danira's confession.

" And that's natural, because I'm your wife, your legal and religious wife. Which wife is not jealous to see her husband hugged and held by another woman huh?, which wife ?". Danira said with a trembling voice, her tears welled up.

" Do you want to try to be in my position, so you know what I feel? when she came home to see her husband's lover sitting in inappropriate clothes in her house. How do you feel, can you accept it huh?, will you still feel okay ?".

" I am also a human being, who has a heart and feelings. I can feel the pain like everyone else". Danira's voice sounded bitter, as if all his words came out of his heart, a heart full of anger and disappointment.

" Have you ever imagined how I would feel, when I heard that my own husband had promised in front of another woman, that he would never touch me. Do you ever think that I would be hurt to know that?. But you never seem to think that far, all you put forward is your own selfishness". Danira vented all the resentment in her heart, which she had endured all this time. He can no longer tolerate it. For him Gavino had trampled on his pride.

" Danira I.....!!!"

" SILENCE....!! I'm not done talking, this time you have to listen to me. It's enough that you played with my life by having to abide by all those ridiculous deals. Gavino gaped, this was the first time Gavino had seen Danira's anger, which made his heart shrink slightly.

" I never want to know what you're doing behind my back, nor do I want to know what your past is. But at least not in front of me, you can make out with your lover out there. Maybe this place will be your lover's residence later, but at least wait until our relationship is finished ".

" Why do you always vividly tell about the disgrace of our home with others, can't you keep it to yourself". Broken was Danira's cry, her tears were no longer able to stage anymore, until Gavino could clearly see the cry of Danira who had soaked her Burqanya.

Danira paused for a moment, taking a deep breath.trying to ease her cries with a hunting breath. This time he really felt humiliated by Gavino.

" We just end this marriage, there's no point in us going on. No matter how hard I try to maintain this marriage, it can never work, if only I fight for it myself. It will all be in vain ". Danira said in a choked voice.

" Married to your lover, I will never be a benefactor in your relationship again. But.before you do that, DIVORCE me."

" Have you not promised that you would marry her?, Keep your promise to your lover, it is not good if you deny it, but let go of the promise you made before God when you married me ".

" I can't keep up with the ridiculous deal you made. I'll take our divorce to court tomorrow ". Danira said, walking to pick up her suitcase lying on the floor.

" Shanie..." Call Gavino step in to touch his wife. But his hands clenched in the air as he retreated his steps backward.

" Stop...!!, please Jagan touch me. There is no bond between us anymore. Isn't this what you wanted all along, to answer me, to agree to this farewell. So this time I ask you, please drop the talaq for me now". Pinta Danira in a loud voice.

DAM *

Gavino widened his reddened eyes, his body trembling at the request of Danira, who was like a thunderous bolt of lightning piercing his heart. Suddenly his lips were locked tightly, his tongue was all the rage, his voice stuck in his throat.

Wasn't this the kind of time I wanted, when she had agreed to part.but why, my heart wasn't willing to say the words I had wanted to say all along. What's wrong with me, why can't I control my own feelings. Inner Gavino.

Seeing Gavino did not react, just silently pecked at his place. Making Danira deduce her own answer, with the silence that Gavino gave. Danira stepped and stood 1 meter in front of Gavino, she looked into her husband's eyes, and saw the perfect sculpture of her husband's face. Danira could see a look of shock mixed with the sadness of Dimata Gavino, but Danira did not want to care, she was already disappointed.

" I'm sorry that I spoke so loudly to you, maybe my words just now seemed to cloud your feelings. May you forgive me. Sorry also for not being able to carry out my duties as a wife should. May you find your happiness after this ".

"I go, Assalamualaikum ". Danira said goodbye, pulling her suitcase out of the room, leaving Gavino alone.

Gavino sat on the floor, with his back touching the bed, his mind drifting somewhere. Gavino bent his legs, then buried his face between his knees, without Gavino noticing his tears just drenching his cheeks.

" I'm sorry Danira ".
