LOVE BEHIND THE VEIL

97. Aaaa...Cockroaches

Some family members have gathered in the room where the event will take place, because tonight a regular recitation will be held. Supposedly, the event was held last night, but since Gavino was still being treated, Oma Baras decided that the event would be postponed until Gavino was discharged from the hospital.

Gavino and Danira are still in their room, to get ready. Gavino sat on the sofa, playing a square object in his hand casually, and his gaze shifted as he heard the open bathroom door. She saw Danira coming out wearing long black clothes, complete with a cover on her face.

" Are you done ?". Ask Gavino. Danira answered with a nod of her head. Gavino put his phone on the nightstand on the left side of the sofa, then stood past Danira and went into the bathroom.

Danira would step closer to their suitcase in the corner of the room, she wanted to prepare clothes for her husband, but her steps stopped when she heard the vibration of Gavino's phone on the nightstand. Danira wants to ignore him, but curiosity drives him to walk closer to Gavino's phone. On the phone screen, Danira saw Stevani's name calling. Rush Danira averted her eyes, leaving Gavino's phone ringing.

Danira tried to calm the rumble in her heart, which appeared suddenly when she saw the name of another woman on her husband's phone. Although Danira realized, if his relationship with Gavino is still limited by the presence of other women, but still it feels painful.

" Athaghfirullah.Yes. Why is it so uncomfortable, even though I realize, I am the one who entered into their relationship, but for some reason, my heart still does not accept Rab ".

" O Allah, shall I end all this after coming from here?, shall I ask him again, to part ?. Help me, O God, to be able to make a decision in a state of calm ". Danira muttered, her eyes were teary, her heart ached when she imagined the extent of Gavino's relationship with Stevani. Danira who still thinks, if Gavino is still in a relationship with Stevani, continues to try to resist jealousy, so as not to be seen. He held his chest that felt tight.

When Danira was still at war with her inner self. Suddenly from inside the bathroom, he heard the sound of gavino screaming. Making Danira sad, turned to surprise and anxiety.

" Aahhhhhhhkkkkk...Ahhhhhkkk...!!".

Hearing her husband's scream, Danira immediately ran towards the bathroom, then knocked on the door repeatedly.

GECK...

GECK...

TOK ...

"Mas..?"

GECK..

GECK..

GECK...

" Mas Gavin, what's wrong?, mas... You're okay inside ". Shouted Danira, who was in a panic hearing Gavino's endless screams.

" Dude....!! Open Pint....".

BRAK**

The bathroom door was wide open, hitting the wall to make a loud noise. Gavino ran out quickly. She sees Danira standing right in front of the door, without thinking Gavino hugs Danira, like a baby to her mother, She is terrified.

" To.to.please.please get rid of the animal ". Gavino, hugging Danira tightly, buried his face in the nape of Danira, trembling.

" What's up ? what animal ? where ?". Danira asked, who was panicking.

" That.there's ". Appoint Gavino, point his index finger into the bathroom, without turning his head from Danira's arms. Danira followed the direction Gavino pointed to, but he saw nothing.

" Where?..there is nothing mas ".

" There he flew. It's terrible ". Answer Gavino.

" Where, let me show you where it is ?".

" There you go. You just come in. I'll stay here ". Gavino said, but he did not let go of his embrace. She kept her arms around Danira's neck so tightly that it made it difficult for Danira to move.

" Haha...!!! how do I get inside, when I hold me like this, and see my clothes get wet all because of the work of the mas". Whiney Danira, pissed.

" I don't care, you can change clothes later. Now quickly get rid of the terrible animal ". Gavino said, shifting his body, turning behind Danira's back. Danira went into the bathroom, spread her gaze to the corners of the room, looking for the animal her husband meant. His eyes caught a little cockroach, which was stuck to the wall. Danira takes Gavino's clothes in a dirty laundry basket, then....

PLAKK...

Instantly the cockroach fell, and died. Danira immediately took the cockroach, then put it in the trash can. Gavino who peeked out from behind the door, looked at Danira in awe.

" Wwaahh.you're so great, you can kill that horrible animal ". Said Gavino, who only showed his head from behind the door.

" It's just a roach mas, why should you be afraid ". Danira said, then turned her body wants to come out.

" Yes still, when he was already flying, he turned into a terrible animal ". Said Gavino, straightening his body standing in the door while dabbing the waist.

" Akh... !!! Astarghfirullah". Shouted Danira, turning her body again, turning her back to Gavino, then covering her face with a palm. Gavino, shocked to hear Danira's scream, immediately jumped to embrace Danira back from behind. He thinks Danira saw the cockroaches again.

" What's the matter....?What's the matter huh?, why are you yelling?, are there any more cockroaches ?". Gavino asked, hugging Danira tight, his head dizzy looking left, right and back.

" Mommy.not a cockroach, but.but that's a mas look ". Danira stammered, Danira was very embarrassed.

" It....why are you out only using ************just ". Danira. Gavino frowned, slowly releasing his hand from Danira's body, then he sneered at seeing himself in the reflection of the glass. Instantly Gavino's eyes bulged, seeing his embarrassing condition. Her hair was still full of foam shampoo, her body was still slippery with soap and worse, she came out half naked. Only use ****** *****.

" Heinhem...!! Isn't this common, if people take a bath using only underwear ". Gavino said flatly, trying to cover up his nervousness and embarrassment

" You better get out now, 'cause I have to finish my bath ritual, which was interrupted by the uninvited guest ". Gavino said, Danira walked back, fumbling for the exit, without opening her closed eyes. He didn't want to see, which should have been legitimate to him.

" ...!!". Gavino said, stopping the steps of Danira who had reached the doorstep, Danira's heart beat. Afraid of Gavino hugging her back in such a state.

" Take away all the clothes you used to kill the animal ". He said, Danira heaved a sigh of relief, without asking much, Danira quickly picked up the shirt, then ran out of the bathroom, and closed it.

" O Allah, have I committed adultery ?". Danira muttered, twitching his eyes, which were still shadowed, the shape of Gavino's. Danira held her cheek which felt hot.

Behind the door, Gavino cursed at his own recklessness. Although he tried to look normal in front of Danira. But in fact, Gavino cursed himself in front of the mirror.

" Aahhh, you're such a fool, you stupid Gavino. How can you embarrass yourself like this, where you have to put your beautiful handsome face again huh?, you drop your self-esteem Gavino, you really ". He was upset, pointing at himself in the mirror. Gavino was really embarrassed, even he was up to the urge to get out of the bathroom. She was so embarrassed to meet Danira, it felt like she already had no face.

Gavino was done and came out, he saw Danira who was still sitting in front of the dresser. While reading a book. Gavino tried to neutralize his face again, he walked slowly closer to the clothes Danira had prepared on the bed. Gavino began to pair one by one his clothes, when he wanted to wear clothes, the wound from the gunshot was again painful, probably due to Gavino who had moved his hands too tight, too tight, the wound was bleeding again.

" Iiikkss....!!". Sizzle Gavino, when he wants to put the shirt on his hand. Hearing that, Danira raised her gaze to see Gavino who was in great distress. Danira put the book on the table, then walked over to the gavino.

" Can I help you put on her clothes ?". Danira asked quietly, Gavino stopped her hand and looked at Danira who had been standing in front of her. Gavino didn't answer, he just kept quiet. Slowly Danira advanced towards Gavino, then her eyes saw her husband's arm bleed again, quickly Danira ran in search of the backpack, which contained Gavino's medicines. Danira, who had found the cure, slowly began to clear the blood from Gavino's arm.

Danira painstakingly gave the ointment around the wound, carefully and then she covered it with gauze, hoping that it would not bleed again. Gavino continued to observe Danira who began buttoning one by one the buttons of his clothes are colored in line with Danira's robe.

" Sorry...". An unorthodox word came out of Gavino's mouth, successfully drawing Danira's gaze, looking up.

" What for ?". Danira asked confusedly.

" For my mother's family's treatment of you ". Gavino. Who observes how the interaction between Danira and her aunts.

" Why do they?, their feelings do not say anything, why did they apologize ?". Danira asked again to focus on looking at the buttons, with her hands constantly moving.

" Are you sure you don't know?, or are you just pretending?". Search Gavino. Danira kept silent not answering her husband's questions. He thought Gavino would be insensitive to the treatment of Calina's mother's family, who looked down on him when they arrived. Even most of them left just like that, when Danira wanted to greet her mother-in-law's brothers.

But their treatment changed, when they saw the nephew who came. They immediately greeted Gavino warmly, and many words of praise. Although Gavino responded to the sisters coldly, but it did not make them discouraged, they even got closer and hugged Gavino.

" I really don't know what Gavino mas mean ". said Danira slowly.

" Stop lying, you think I'm blind, can't see what they're doing to you ". Gavino said, because Danira is still covering up. Danira goes back to silence, not wanting to make Gavino even more upset. Not hearing the answer from his wife, Gavino held Danira's hand, making it stop.

" I don't know why they seem to hate you. Until it ignores you so. But I hope you don't take much heart about this, stay close to me. So I can protect you, from people who don't like you. Understand Hhmm ?". Gavino said, looking down at Danira.

" Means I shouldn't get too close to Gavino's mas either".

" Why ?". Gavino asked, linking his brow confused.

" Because Gavin doesn't like me either, means in this family, who can protect me only mami, Aunt Santi and Oma Laras ". Sindir Danira smiled mockingly, then turned to leave Gavino flabbergasted with Danira's reply.

***

In another room.

" Well, you have to convince Gavino to inject his funds into our company ". Said a woman to her husband, who was standing in front of a mirror.

" Yes, I'll try again ". Said the man leisurely, while smoothing out his appearance.

" ....!!! Don't just try, but you have to persuade him. Remember the pah loh, our company is over the horns. Only Gavino can help us right now ".

" If we need to marry him, as a sign of agreement. Think of it as a business wedding ". Said Aunt Sinta, who is none other than the birth mother of ayu. Om Anton glanced at his wife sharply.

" You don't freak out mah, your own childhood wants you to pawn just for business. Moreover, Gavino had married, there was no way he would want to and of course his wife would refuse ". Said Om Anton, who never thought, how his wife could propose such an idea.

" Kakata has not tried it, after all my son is very beautiful and attractive, well educated, gentle, full of manners. Far from Gavino's current wife. If we make this deal, I'm sure Gavino agrees ". Again Aunt Sinta expressed her crazy idea, Om Anton just sighed softly, then turned his body to the wife who was sitting on the bed.

" Oh, ma'am, I don't want to discuss your crazy plan. Remember, tonight is a recitation for my late papa. So don't be broken, with the crazies you often do that ". Speaking of anton firmly, Aunt Sinta just looked at her husband annoyed. She was very angry, because her husband always rejected all her opinions.

Look, I'll make sure my son gets what he wants. I'm gonna make my daughter's wish come true, to have the man she wants. Inner Aunt Sinta, published a sly smile.
