"Marisa?" Mama Niki's eyes were round hearing the name of a very familiar person called, "Marisa Mama's friend you mean?"
"Yes." Yeah." Niki looked back inside.
"You married her husband's friend Mama? Farel's Marisa's husband?" Mom's voice began to rise. My mom is not sitting next to Niki. He stood up holding his chest. Niki was increasingly unable to look at his mother's face, he looked down deeper.
Plaque! Spontaneous Mama Niki's hand slaps her daughter's cheek.
"Yes!" Niki screamed while holding her cheek which was getting hotter. He was very surprised and did not expect his mother who since he was a child always spoiled him like a princess, could slap him.
"Mama didn't raise you as a household destroyer. Your future is still long, why do you choose a husband person to be a companion. Your heart's eyes are blind!"
"Niki is in love with Farel, Maa." Niki cried while holding her cheek which felt hotter. But the pain in his cheek could not beat the pain in his heart.
"Leave him, Niki. Mama can't accept you being a second wife. Whatever your reasons, you must immediately separate," said Mama firmly.
"Niki don't want to!"
"Leave her. Don't be a despicable woman by seizing another woman's man! Look around you, there are still many men who are the same age and deserve to be your partner. It wasn't Farel who already had a wife!" mama's screams increasingly can't control her emotions.
"If anyone should leave Farel, it's not me, it's Mba Marisa. He doesn't love Farel, Ma!"
"Know what you are about love. Mama's decision is made, you must separate."
"Niki doesn't want to! Mama can't force it, Niki's grown up. If you're still pushy, why don't you give Papa back to the woman you took?"
"Bad!" Plaque!
Once again Mama's hand floated up and slapped her only daughter's cheek. This time his slap was much louder, due to his almost uncontrollable emotions.
Mama was stunned to see Niki's face reddened by the actions of her hands. His palms were shaking and hot. Still felt on his skin, the hardness of which he slapped his daughter's cheek. Mama slowly retreated towards the door, not until she looked at Niki's blank stare.
Niki was no longer crying in the second slap. His heart was broken, as he needed support and hugs in his desperate problems, he was getting increasingly painful treatment from people he hoped could ease the burden on his heart.
"Mama's decision is no longer negotiable, tomorrow we meet Marisa and her husband. You should apologize for the mess you've made. After that, Farel had to say talaq for you," said Mama Lirih. After that, Mama immediately came out of the room leaving Niki who was silent.
Long enough Niki was silent while holding both of her red and hot cheeks. She began to think about her mother's words, is it true that she should forget her love and let go of her husband?
Instantly her tears flowed down her cheeks. The heat radiating on her cheeks slowly subsided by her tears.
Why does no one understand my feelings? Loving another woman's property I know it's wrong, but why does this feel? God, please take this taste out. Beware!
Niki squeezed the shirt on her chest. The heat and pain in his cheeks, down crept into his chest. He confirmed his mother's words, but his heart refused to let Farel go. It all started with her admiration and insanity of speaking false words, and now her feelings deepened after Farel took the wedding vows and kissed her lovingly.
Niki got up from the bed, she picked up her phone that was clanking on the nightstand. The incoming message from her husband published a smile on her disheveled face.
Niki tries to reply to the message and contacts Farel, but no one comes in. He sat on the floor with his bed. There were no more tears on his cheeks. His eyes glared blankly at the ceiling of the room.
All the friends shunned him and looked at him in disgust, his mother did not agree with his life path choice even to the point of slapping him and now, the man he was fighting for left him.
"Maybe it's a reply I have to accept. You can fall in love with him!" Niki rubbed her lips rough.
When her fingers touched her lips, Niki cried again. Her memory floated as Farel repeatedly dipped and kissed her feelingly. That's when she felt that her love was reciprocated, made the second she remained sincere as long as Farel became her husband.
Niki's hands crept up to her cheeks, her tears flowing as she recalled her Mama's hot and painful palms still lingering there.
"If no one wants me, why do I survive?"
Niki stood up and immediately put a few pieces of clothing into the bag. When the sun had not yet fully risen, Niki walked out of the house. Her footsteps led Niki to the train station with a backpack on her back. Where he doesn't know either. He just wanted to stay away from all that hurt his heart.
On campus, Farel was disappointed when he did not find his little wife in class. Half his mind was off campus, looking for and guessing about Niki's current state.
Yesterday all day he was irritated because his phone was lost somewhere and just found falling under a car that had long been parked in the garage.
When he was going to contact his little wife, his number could not be reached and all messages that he stored were deleted.
Once finished filling classes on campus, Farel immediately shot back to the apartment. But once again he had to swallow the disappointment of not finding his little wife there. Farel turned the wheel to Niki's parents' house.
"Good day." The wide smile he prepared as the door of the house opened, disappearing as Papa Niki's fierce face appeared behind the door.
Bugh! Papa Niki hit Farel right in his jaw.
"Who!" exclamation Papa Niki. His index finger was directed right in front of Farel's face, "Give me back my son, he doesn't deserve you!"
Farel fell in strangulation with blood flowing from between his lips. He was still sitting on the terrace floor with his mouth open in disbelief. It was friendly before and was now met with a loud blow.
"What's wrong?" tanyanya's confused.
"Lecturers like you are married but still want your students. Niki I didn't give you to be your mistress!"
Farel was still sitting on the floor. He now understands that his marital status is already known by Niki's parents.
"Tell me where you hid my son!" Papa Niki pulled Farel's collar until the man stood up from his seat.
