Prison Wound

Prison Wound
Part two



"Bee, it's me. You why? What are you dreaming? Istighfar, Bee." Raditya approached Riena while continuing to emphasize that what was the source of the wife's fear was just a sleeping flower. Obviously the man did not know Riena's reaction this time was a natural reaction from a woman who had just experienced sexual assault or violence.


"Don't come any closer! I want to be alone" said Riena. Again she cried again. The woman drowned her face until her chin almost stuck to her chest. Clearly Riena was not wanting to show her face to others.


Raditya was completely confused by Riena's attitude. Throughout their marriage, not once did his wife behave strangely, crying or looking as sad as she is now. Riena is not a spoiled woman. That said, his wife was quite independent in every way. Hardworking, smart, deft and reliable in all matters. Of course it was very strange for Raditya to see Riena as weak as this.


"Is this part of the surprise we want to give for our anniversary?" batin Raditya, trying to think positive. Because of previous years, Riena always has a unique way to make their anniversary more memorable.


"Bee ...," call Raditya. He approached Riena.


"Let me alone, Ay. Rest in another room." Riena's voice really sounded very slow.


Raditya flinched at his position. He hopes to get an answer from the look on the wife's face. But alas, Riena did not hold her head up at all.


"Please" pinta Riena. Realizing her husband still held on to his position.


Raditya finally chose to obey his wife's will. Although not at all know the reason behind Riena's strange attitude, Raditya again still invites himself to think positively. "You must be hoping I'm mad, bee. It won't! I'll follow your game as quietly as possible" he murmured.


Hearing the sound of the door closing, Riena slowly straightened the position of her head. The woman then lies down and covers her body tightly. From his mouth several times said Istighfar with a soft volume almost inaudible.


"O Allah, guide this servant of yours. What should I do?" prayer Riena. Still with the position of his body curled up.

The hour hand has shown at nine in the morning during the middle of Indonesia, but Riena has not yet left the room. Of course it makes Raditya again hit by worries. The man decided to go back into the wife's room carefully.


Apparently Riena is still asleep. This time Raditya did not try to wake or touch his wife for fear that she would be surprised or react as before. In fact, he wanted to feel like he was tidying up the hair that covered half of Riena's face.


"Why are you, bee? Don't scare me? Why haven't you said our anniversary prayers as usual?" raditya asked in his heart while slowly sitting on the edge of the bed.


Riena's body slowly stretched out followed by a groaning sound coming out from her lips. Pilu implies fragility. What a cruel event last night tore Riena's body and soul. Unusual injuries and trauma.


Raditya scrunched his forehead. His wife's right cheek clearly showed a very visible finger trail. White Riena skin is very sensitive, let alone be touched by human hands with rough, mosquito bites can leave traces for days on the skin.


Too curious and already unable to hold back, Raditya touched Riena's cheek. From there, he found his wife's unusual body temperature. Wanting to be sure further, Raditya placed the back of his hand on the neck and forehead of the wife.


"Don't! Just go! Don't touch me!" riena shouted while pushing Raditya's hand violently. As soon as he sensed someone touching his body, he immediately woke up and again showed an overreaction of fear and self-protection.


Riena looked at meu at Raditya. What an unusual look to her husband. Although not a spoiled woman, Riena often teases her husband with a naughty look. Especially if you have not met for several days, usually without hesitation Riena will hug and shower Raditya with a kiss.


"You're sick, Bee. Your body temperature is high! We're going to the doctor, yuk! Or just call me?" Raditya's voice was again lowered. Showing patience that has been attached to him.


Riena shook her head strongly while again grasping the blanket cloth in front of her chest possessively. A flash of disgusting events last night still dominates across his head. Although he is currently trying to bring a little logic to ascertain what he should do next.


Raditya is not just a husband to Riena. The man is the best friend he has. A very reliable figure. However, this time Riena hesitated between having to be honest or keep the meeting all by herself.


"Bee, what's the matter? Why are your cheeks flushed? Did someone hurt you? Who?" Raditya shifted his body to get closer to Riena. But the woman did the same movement to keep the distance between them awake.


Riena raises the blanket until it covers her body up to the nose. Leave my eyes still visible. Raditya was confused. This time he believed his wife's attitude and behavior had absolutely nothing to do with the surprise of the anniversary.


"I ordered a meal, huh? Some congee? If you don't want to see a doctor, you should at least eat, Bee. Tell me what you complain about. Let me get you some medicine. If you don't want to talk, how could I possibly know." Raditya said it very carefully.


Riena nodded her head. Seeing Raditya show care and patience to face his attitude, made Riena feel more and more gambled. If she leaves, it would be foolish to take off her husband as well as Raditya. However, if he survives, his despicable and tarnished self would no longer be worthy of being with a man as good as Raditya.


"I'll stay a while." Raditya walked out of the room.


The rapist's words again ring in Riena's ears. He closed both of his ear holes. Somehow the mouth of the cursed man was so eloquent to say his name and also the name Raditya. It was as if the man knew them well.


Riena still remained in her curled position when Raditya entered the room with a bowl of porridge he ordered from the resto cottage. There was also a heat-lowering drug on the man's hands.


"Just put it on the table, I'll eat it later" Riena asked.


Raditya shook his head. "There's nothing later. Now you eat. I'm the bribe. If you can't sit, I'll help you lift your pillow." Although his words were firm, Raditya spoke them softly while putting his porridge and medicine first on the table. Then she intends to help Riena to lean on.


"Don't! I'm alone," Riena refused as soon as Raditya wanted to get close.


Raditya took a deep breath. Really she was made confused and also thought hard with Riena's current attitude. Clearly out of the ordinary. Not only in attitude, but also physically Raditya increasingly suspicious of the change of the wife.


"It ...." Riena suddenly moaned in pain while using one hand for concentration.


Hearing and seeing Riena in pain, Raditya immediately swiftly helped. However, as Raditya held onto his wife's wrist, the unexpected reaction from Riena again left Raditya dumbfounded.


"Don't touch me! Aww.." -..." Riena pulled her hand violently to the point of making herself feel pain.
