My husband, my Beloved (Revised)
Slap
Ega's jaws hardened, his teeth clenched in anger. How could He be fooled by the lies of his father who could never be trusted. Rain who realized her husband was injured heard the fact gently rubbed the back of her husband's hand that had been holding her.
"Still able to do it?" Rain tried to give her husband strength. Mr. Riko who saw the husband and wife scene just smiled. Like seeing Rakha and Zein in the past.
Mom took over the story.
🍃🍃🍃
After a long wait for a child, Zein tested positive for pregnancy. As arranged, Zein and Reza, who were checking into the hospital later that day, cross paths with the dying Rosa, who was taken to the ER room.
It feels happy that Zein can meet Rosa again even in a state of not wearing. According to doctors, Zein attempted suicide. Luckily his life was saved. Rakha never visited Rosa. Even through her lawyer Rakha divorced Rosa and gave their divorce papers when Rosa was still weak. Zein and Reza always accompany Rosa until Rosa is declared cured. Zein takes Rosa back to her home but with Rosa traumatized. Until one morning in December just when Zein was 9 months pregnant Rosa said something that made Zein feel the cause of Rosa's destruction.
"Zein, Loe knows? I've always been jealous of Loe. Loe has a mother who loves Loe very much. Loe can always grab the attention of the guy I like. Riko, Rakha Reza. Loe's life is happy, isn't Zein? How does Zein feel about living happily?"
Zein felt his body shiver at that very instant. How could Rosa think that?
"What do you mean by Loe Rosa?".
"Gue wants to be happy Zein. I want to be the wife of Reza. Sweet and always attentive to Loe". Rosa implied a deep wound through her eyes.
"Can Loe release Reza for me? Loe still has Asep's mang and Loe's son. While I?".

Rain deciphered his hand from Ega. Rain distanced his body from Ega. His heart was broken after knowing the truth. Lookie! Zein's not the woman who took the man's husband. Rain stood up with a staggering step toward Mother who was being hugged by Aunt.
"Mom, Rain is coming home. Rain no longer lives here. Take Rain home, Mom". Rain's voice was like a bomb exploding in Ega's ear. He was sick to hear it. His heart was broken into pieces. Is this the punishment for Ega ever hurting his wife?
He moved closer to Rain. Convening in front of Rain, Mother and Aunt.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry. Don't stay with me, baby. I can't. Mom don't take Rain home. Ma'am let Ega fix Ega's mistake". Ega continued to try to reach Rain's hand but Rain did not want to be touched by her own husband. Rain kept shaking Ega's hand.
"What did you do to my daughter that made her want to come home with me?" Mom's voice was blaring in the room. Riko herself did not expect the woman who remained beautiful at her age who was no longer a teenager could be angry.
Stammeredly Ega explained everything from the false story of his Papa that He believed. Then how was his attitude towards Rain over these few months. Everything Ega told me without anyone missing.
"Let Rain come home with me. You know, his whole life I've never even once snapped at him. Never once has this hand dropped it. How dare you do that to my daughter. I took care of him with my whole life. I don't accept any excuses".
Plaques
Mom slapped Ega very hard. Rain's embrace weakened, his vision blurred. His body collapsed to the floor. Rain fainted.
