Arvi shook her head, carrying Lola's fingers that had stroked her jaw toward the lips for an old kiss. "Son, honey. You're more than enough, please don't talk like that anymore."
Lola gulped bitterly, it felt like she was really tired of all the things going on in their household. "When will your family accept me, Mom?" Lola asked with teary eyes looking back at Arvi. "You do not realize that most of the fights that occur between us are always involved by your family?" Can he feel Arvi's hand now began to cupped both cheeks. "I'm tired of always being the one to blame!"
Isakan Lola's increasingly making Arvi immediately take the woman into his arms, "why can't they treat me as much as my family treats you?" Tanya Lola began to shed tears. "My family all respects you, they never interfere in any of our household affairs. But why did your family go so far? I'm tired, Mas! It's my fault that in the two years of our marriage, I'm still not pregnant!"
"Dear, relax." Feeling Lola getting uncontrollable, Arvi also tightened her embrace. "I'll always be here. No matter what happens, I will never leave you. We fought together, huh?"
"If I had never accepted your proposal, none of this would have happened."
Like being watered by ice water, Arvi's face suddenly turned stiff when she heard Lola's statement just now. His hug that was tightly wrapped around Lola slowly loosened. "What did you say?" Asked the man to make sure he didn't hear wrong. "Try to repeat."
Arvi was sure that she had actually heard Lola's words very clearly. She couldn't have heard wrongly, "does that mean you regret marrying me?" Arvi spoke in a low tone while looking at both eyeballs of Lola with an injured gaze. He did not think that the sentence would come out of the wife's mouth.
Lola looked around. Now he can no longer see Arvi clearly because his tears have accumulated in the eye.
"Lola's aircrew!" Arvi again asked for an answer. "Do you regret marrying me?" He asked Lola to speak immediately.
Because Arvi continues to force, Lola also spoke loudly. "Yes, I'm sorry! Satisfied now!" He cried with his chest that began to move up and down. Making Arvi instantly speechless while looking at Lola with a look of disbelief. "You think I'm not tired of being the daughter-in-law in your family who should always be sued for this and look perfect? I'm tired, Mas! This is not the household life I want," the woman continued sobbing.
The man did not react at all. Lola's statement just now really surprised him. Regretfully, the woman had just admitted that she regretted marrying him. Arvi doesn't know what's worse than that? But clearly his heart was now completely broken.
"I think we should keep our distance first," Lola seemed to wipe away the traces of tears that had been imprinted on both of her cheeks. "At least for a while."
"You can be here. I'm gonna sleep outside." With heavy breathing Arvi immediately came out of the room. It might be true if Lola now needed some time to calm down. He hopes that after everything is fine they can start talking from heart to heart.
However, only two steps did the man walk. He turned back as Lola looked back to speak.
Arvi instantly raised both eyebrows in surprise, "where home? This is your house."
"I want to go home to my parents," break up Lola makes Arvi's feelings become more and more. "I don't care if you want permission or not. I'll still be gone tonight." The addition made Arvi even more speechless. It felt like all the bones in his body were being forcefully torn out at the same time.
***
Arvi may have managed to hold back Lola's intention to go home tonight. But not the next morning. The clock was three in the morning, but the man was still awake. Just imagine how he could sleep after hearing the words of his wife who said that she regretted marrying him. Arvi did not think that the words would come out of Lola's mouth.
Reapplying on the cigarette smoke she was smoking, Arvi seemed to ruffle her hair. He is not a heavy smoker, sometimes he does smoke when he has a problem.
But that was before Arvi met with Lola, because since marrying the woman he may be said to never touch the object again. Instead of smoking he prefers to tell Lola all his problems. Although sometimes the solution given by the woman is completely unreasonable and beyond reason, there is a sense of relief that envelops Arvi's heart when he can share it with his wife.
The woman always knows how to make her forget the problems she faces. With Lola, any problem feels lighter. Although not infrequently they quarrel because of trivial problems, still in the two years of their marriage this time Lola said that she regretted marrying him.
Arvi has never been this upset in her life. All the demands that her family gave Lola in fact made their household increasingly not okay. Arvi realizes that this is all his fault. As a husband, he can indeed be said to be incompetent in maintaining the integrity of their household. It was not wrong for Lola to say she regretted marrying him.
Arvi went back inside the house when she felt the night breeze start to puncture the bones. The tip of the cigarette that he had smoked before he finally walked to the room. The plan he wanted to take some pillows and also blankets to bring to the living room sofa.
At first, Arvi thought Lola was asleep. But when he saw the room lights were still on, he became sure that his wife was still awake in there. Staring at Lola who seemed busy packing her clothes into a large suitcase made Arvi immediately frowned inexhaustibly. Why would he wear such a big suitcase?
"Your permission to stay in your parents' house is only for a few days not forever. Why pack that much clothes?" Arvi asked while holding Lola's hand which seemed to put all her clothes in the suitcase. Yeah, all!
Lola brushed off Arvi's rough hand before staring intently at her husband. "Certainly? Problem where? Mind it?".
He put all his clothes in the suitcase. It was as if he did not care what the husband had just said.
