Scratches of Past Wounds

Rania's crazy idea

" Hey, Aya.. still remember Big Brother...? " Greet the beautiful woman in her forties.

" Sister Farah... " Light Legit.

" Yes, I'm sorry to see you, Aya. And sorry if Mama can't come yet. He dropped out of shock at this incident." A woman named Farah.

Farah is Fakhrul's older sister who lives in Australia. The light rarely met because Farah rarely came home. Usually the mother-in-law who often went there .

" It's okay, brother. " Answer Light.

" And Brother apologizes for what happened to you. Really Brother did not expect that your situation was this chaotic. Fakhrul never told her company condition. " Somber look on Farah's face.

" Maybe he's ashamed, brother. Because it all started from his disgusting behavior with his subordinates. " There is anger in every word the Light speaks. It sounds soft but full of emphasis.

" You're right, the new brother knows all of his former employees. " Farah approached and sat on the edge of the bed of Light. Then grasped the Light hand that was at his side.

" Why are you sticking with all this, Aya. You don't deserve to be treated like this. Why stay quiet all this time. There was Brother..why let Fakhrul do so far. " Farah's cry is no longer contained. Witnessing her sister-in-law's appalling condition plagued her conscience as a woman.

" Mas Fakhrul is the only place I go home, brother. And we have the Binar and Blue. Although I was sick with the betrayal of Mas Fakhrul but I could not bear to see him slumped at that time. But I didn't think that he was even entangled in that bastard. It is unfortunate, instead of realizing that Mas Fakhrul was looking for a diversion again. At first I felt like a failure so that other women were able to divert it from us. For the second time I failed. Because Mas Fakhrul again ran on the drug that bastard. Our presence means nothing to him... "

A heartbreaking cry of Light filled that outpatient room. The face that was still full of cuts and bruises was wet with tears. Farah was not able to hold back her insistence on hearing the screams of her sister-in-law's heart. For a moment both women were equally dissolved in tears. Only the hands of the two strengthened each other.

" Now what would you want, Aya ? " Task Farah after the Light is a little calmer.

" I just want to get well, and take care of the kids, sister. The doctor said that Binar and Blue needed to be accompanied by a psychiatrist. I want to get away from Mas Fakhrul, Brother. I want a divorce... " The Heart of Light sliced said his last word.

" I'm sorry if I had to do this, if it's about myself maybe I'd hang on. But this concerns the mental child child, I can not tolerate anymore. " Advanced Light.

" Well if that's what you want. But don't go, stay here . Let Brother take care of Fakhrul. He's in jail now so you don't have to worry. Make sure he won't interfere with herbs and children. " Light was surprised to hear the fact Fakhrul in prison. But he tried not to care. There is more important to think about than Fakhrul. Let Fakhrul be his family's business.

" Get out of this hospital I'm going to file a lawsuit, brother. Say hello and sorry to Mama . I can't be a good daughter-in-law to her. " Speak Light.

" Get well soon, yes !? And the hospital costs you and your children have paid off. And there's a little money you're sending into your account for a temporary living." The light was moved by her brother-in-law's concern. Farah was always good to him. Unlike her mother-in-law who did not like her from the beginning.

" Thank you, Brother. "

Flashback off

" It was with that money that I survived waiting to knock the hammer of the religious court while healing myself and my two children . After that, I just returned to work as usual. " Continue Light telling story.

" What if our ex-husband wants to come back ? Maybe he has come to his senses and regrets his actions. " Reveal Rania about what might happen.

" Don't scare me. Just looking at that face I was already horrified. How could I live with him. " The voice of Light sounded resolute.

" Yes, you're right, Nia. Now I have to think about how not to connect with him anymore. I also don't want to keep running away from it. But I'm not ready to face it. " The light supports his head with one hand. His brain was too full to keep working thinking about everything that was happening.

" Do you still love her, Aya ? " Search Rania.

" I used to love him so stupidly. But when you see the condition of the love binar it fades from day to day until it runs out. " Say Light sure. Hearing Light's statement, Rania felt a glimmer of hope.

" I have an idea, but I'm not sure you want to. But you can think about it later. " Rania's words made the Light frown.

" What is that ? "

" Married to Doni's sister. " Rania said without hesitation.

" What ? I don't want to get married for any absurd reason, Nia. How can you get married for fear of being chased by an ex. " The light is not gone Rania thought.

" Not so is the concept, Aya ! I mean, you're trying to accept Kak Doni as a husband . Love problems, lots of marriages without love but fine. And I believe love can come from getting used to it. " Light of Rania.

" I'm not sure about your crazy idea. The possibility of failure is greater because we just as much dislike each other. " Light was too pessimistic because she knew all the things she didn't like about Doni.

" I know why you say that. " Rania was silent for a few seconds looking for the right word. " Sister Doni does like to drink, but not addicted, Yes. He would only drink when he remembered his ex-wife and son. I was hoping he had another wife, at least someone took care of him and took care of him. And hope that gradually he will rise from his guilt. Trust me, Brother Doni is loving and family love. And he is definitely responsible. " Rania ended her sentence.

" Sorry, Nia. I'm just afraid of wrongly determining the path in a hurry. " Sounds of Light breath.

" At least think about this for your child. They need a father figure who can protect. They need someone strong to protect. Including their real fathers. Think about it, Aya. "

Light does need someone to take shelter. Fakhrul was not an ordinary person who could Light ignore his existence. The great family of Fakhrul is too powerful for the Light of the opponent . Regardless of what Fakhrul wants right now. But the premonition of Light was too bad when he first reunited with his ex-husband.

Is marriage the right solution ? I don't know, the light doesn't know. What is certain is that now the Light is swayed in a dilemma. Can Light stand alone to be a shield for both of his children ? What if Fakhrul wants his son. The possibility that Rania mentioned earlier filled the head of Light.

Fakhrul has money and power. The perfect fit to get what he wants. Moreover, Light memorized the hard character Fakhrul .

And without the Light know now Fakhrul has known his place of residence . The absence of children at school this morning made Fakhrul take quick steps. He was sure the Light wanted to avoid him. And Fakhrul did not want to risk losing track of the Light and his two children.

With money all information can be purchased. Moreover, money is not something that is difficult anymore for Fakhrul. The typical Indonesian restaurant he pioneered has grown in three different cities in Australia.

And now Fakhrul is on his way to Light's rented house.
