Pitted Because of Will

DKW 6 - Wish all this was just a dream

"Darling, open the door! I brought you dinner!" Using a tray, Bima brought dinner for his first wife.

"Dear." Call Bima, he again knocked on the door leaf in front of him. Because there was no answer, Bima was forced to open the door of the room using a spare key. He then stepped into the room when Bima saw his wife who was sitting daydreaming near the window.

"Darling, let's eat! Here I bring your favorite food," said Bima

Bima walked closer to Nisa.

"I'm not hungry, Mom. Just get the food out of here!" nisa replied without looking at her husband.

Bima was standing right behind his first wife.

"Nis, please don't be like this. You must remember that now you are pregnant, there are small creatures that you must take care of. He's entitled to eat."

"But I don't want to eat, Mom."

"Nis, you can't be this selfish!"

"Egoist, Mum? What's the difference with you? You are selfish too, Mom. You married another woman without first asking me for permission" Rani replied. He gave his sharp gaze to Bima. "OK, fine. In religion a husband can marry again without having to ask permission first with the wife. But at least appreciate me. Appreciate me who's been with you for three years."

"I'm sorry, Nis. I know I was wrong. But, I have a reason why I should marry Ayu." Bima tried to defend herself. Yes, he knew he was wrong about this. But, at least he has a strong reason why he got married to Ayu.

"And I also have a reason why I don't want to eat" Nisa's fierce. He then turned his face away from Bima.

"Nis, you can be angry with me. You can hit me if you need to. But please eat first. I don't want you and our future son to do anything!" this time Bima spoke in a very soft tone, she did not want to make his wife's emotions explode again. Bima knew the nature of his first wife, the more he spoke in a loud tone, the more his wife would defy even when he was angry.

Nisa looked back at Bima's face then turned to look at the food in her husband's hand.

"Click, eat yes, honey!" pinta Bima with pleading gaze.

"Just put it on the table, I'll eat it later" Nisa replied expressionlessly.

"I can eat by myself. Put the food on the table!" reject Nisa.

"Miss.... "

"Put it or I won't eat at all!" threaten Nisa's.

"Well, I'll put it there. But promise me you'll eat it!" pinta Bima's. Nisa did not answer.

Finally Bima put the food in his hand on the table on the right side of the bed. He looked back at Nisa who had turned her face away from him again.

"Mas Bima can come out now!" tell Nisa without looking at her husband.

"Son, after this please give me a chance to explain everything to you."

"I don't want to talk to you, Mom. So, get out of my room now!" answer Nisa.

"But, Nis.... "

"Get out or I'll get out!"

Nisa finally gave a sharp look to her husband again. With a heavy heart Bima left his wife's room.

Nisa stared at the food on the table. Tears that had been held back when Bima came back came out along with the heartache he felt. Three years of his household with Bima walked without any meaningful quarrels. Both can accept each other's shortcomings and advantages, even in the affairs of children Bima never urged to quickly have it because both are aware of the matter of children is the will of Power.

Nisa took the plate that Bima had placed on the table. Although he did not need to eat, he still tried to put rice in his mouth. True what Bima said, there was a small creature in his womb that he had to take care of. Only two mouthfuls of food were capable, Nisa swallowed. He put the plate filled with rice back to its original place. Although his stomach was still hungry, but the sadness he felt made his throat unable to swallow.

"Why should this happen to me? Why?"

Nisa stepped onto the bed and lay down. He really hoped that the event that had just happened to him was just a dream.
