Old Man's Bed
#20: The fight
Kenzia looked down, her face did not want her to stand up. Seeing him slap his wife, surely a husband would defend his wife. Who himself? she's just a mistress, isn't she? that nickname was well deserved for him. At all times, he had to prepare himself with that nickname.
"Hw.. Hu.. Hu.. " Berlin hugged Ardhan with sobs.
As for the man, he just looked at Kenzia with a difficult look, as if he was asking for an answer to what he had done.
"Kenzia slapped me, she..."
Ardhan brought Berlin out of the Kenzia Apartment. He's not sure, Kenzia did. He understood very well, the nature of Kenzia. The child will not tease people if it is not nosy.
"Ardhan, look! the boy you've always been proud of" said Berlin. Ardhan said nothing, but, he was sure. Ardhan is starting to feel sorry for him.
"What did you actually say to Kenzia?" ask Ardhan. He nodded, he was silent. But that doesn't mean he should just shut up after what his wife did.
"You don't trust me?" ask Berlin. He felt a tightness in his chest. Just this time he felt that Ardhan had already turned away.
"Tell me, what did you say to Kenzia? I know very well the nature of Zia." Ardhan.
"Don't tell me, there's still CCTV" Ardhan said.
Berlin stopped his crying, not sadness anymore but resentment. "I just bully him,"
"Grittle? you didn't pick him up, did you?"
Berlin's forehead shriveled, he turned his face away. It was free for him to defend, this time Ardhan would not defend him.
"Berlin, I know Kenzia well. He won't raise his hand if you don't tease the people closest to him" Ardhan said.
Ardhan wanted to laugh, for many years married. Where is she as a wife? where is her duty as a wife. He asked Berlin to stop working. But the woman refused him outright.
"Where is Berlin always obeying? you approached me for treasure or love? treasure, I gave everything to you, what else is love. I always put you ahead of Zia, but what? you're not following. What is my treasure lacking?"
Ardhan was so tired, he was tired of fighting. Not just once, but every time the wedding there is always a debate.
"I want you to stop being a model. Is it hard to take care of a husband and children?"
"I don't want to! Modeling was my dream since childhood. You know that," Berlin stared intently. She does not want to be humiliated because she is not beautiful. During the competition, he was once underestimated by his opponent. So he asked Ardhan for help, with the help of Ardhan it was very easy for him to become a model.
Who doesn't know about Ardhan? a respected figure in business circles. His company is in different countries. Same with Kenzia's parents.
"This is what I can't keep you. For years I gave in, you always put your job first. I want a child, you don't want me to adopt a child. I want to have a child with my own flesh and blood Berlin."
Ardhan was fed up with the contraceptive, Berlin always took it when going in contact with him. "My age is no longer young, I need an heir."
"Is it hard to adopt a child? it's the same, right?"
"It turns out it's your nature, I'm going to file for divorce."
Ardhan decided to leave. This time he will not play games. It's free he advised Berlin. He just wanted to have a whole family, but Berlin didn't want to give it away at all.
Is it wrong for a man to have a full family? same with women? most women have always kept their households intact because they want a full family, but not with Berlin. It even pushed him away.
