Scratches of Past Wounds

For divorce

" Yes... !!!

The light instantly distanced his cell phone from his ears, when someone screamed from across there.

" Geez madam, your voice almost broke my eardrum. " Say Light then.

" You're a widow, don't talk. " Rania replied half irritated. Then there was a soft chuckle from the Light responding to him.

" I have to broadcast it, right ? You also do not ask. " Reply Light.

I heard a breath of Rania. Like regretting something.

" I'm sorry, maybe I'm the insensitive . It's only fitting that you die looking for money, it turns out you are a single parent. " Rania's voice sounded weak and sad.

" already, it's okay. I'm fine. Even better than five to three years ago before getting divorced with my ex-husband. " The Speech of Light calmed down the guilt-ridden Rania.

" Find yuk, I want to hear your story, complete ! When are you free. " Todong Rania to the point.

*****

This is where they are now, in a city park not far from Rania's children's school. Little time before school. And Light tells her life story full of drama and tears after the bankruptcy of her ex-husband.

" At first Mas Arul just looks really frustrating. More silence and contemplation alone. I tried to comfort him and not burden him too much with financial problems. With little money left I started trading wet cakes just for daily necessities. But the situation got more complicated and chaotic after a few months. " The light paused for a moment and took a deep breath.

It feels tight to scratch the wound that was once deeply scratched. The light tries to endure the pain for too long, making it hard to forget. But Rania is too enthusiastic to know the story. Not just curious, but Rania has a hidden plan behind her curiosity.

" He did not rise from adversity, but sought diversion in the wrong way. Meet the wrong people in the wrong places and consume the wrong drinks and drugs. That's where the KDRT started. At first I was still trying to forgive and forgive. But that can't make it change even more day to day. "

The tears of light are no longer contained. The black veil she was wearing already looked wet. Stop for a moment to take a breath and wipe the clear eyes of my eyes that shed tears. The light looked up at the blue sky just an attempt to hold back his tears. While Rania just silently stared at Light while rubbing the back of Light gently.

" The peak of that fateful night, he came home drunk as usual. Blue and Binar were sleeping. I always locked the door to their room but I don't know why I forgot that night. Mas Arul shouted out in solidarity calling out a name. The name he always called drunk and angry with full of swear and curse. "

" You know ? " Tanya Rania was curious.

" Of course, Amelia was the name she always called . " Answer the Light looked down and looked at his fingers that were squeezing each other. As if dividing his baldness there.

" Who is he ? And why does your ex-husband hate that woman so much ? " Rania is getting curious.

" You know what makes that little company run out of nothing ? Women are the cause. All the money and assets of the Mas Arul company were slowly confiscated by land to leave a mounting debt. The house we just occupied for one year and the favorite sports car Mas Arul disappeared to cover the debt so that Mas Arul was not imprisoned. "

" It is fitting that the ex-husband hates her so much that even under her consciousness she scolds him. " Rania responded.

There was a small laugh from the lips of Light. More precisely the lyrical laughter that laughed at his suffering.

" That's not the saddest part. There is a story that cuts my heart. Amelia is not just a subordinate of Mas Arul, but a woman who is always under Mas Arul to satisfy him. " Soft voice Light sounded vibrating.

" Mak..I mean the affair of your husband ? Sorry ... " Rania shut her mouth in shock at the reality that the Light spoke.

" Yes.that's it. And the affair happened after a year of our marriage, precisely I was pregnant with Binar. And at the time Mas Arul was busy building the company and I had to live very efficiently so that Mas Arul was not burdened with the cost of living. I had to give birth at the Midwife Clinic so as not to incur expensive costs. And I'm willing to lack Mas Arul's attention because I think the company needs his attention more. But what...? " Rever heard the heartbreaking sobs from the lips of Light.

" I'm sorry, Yes. Don't keep telling the story if it hurts you. " Rania feels guilty for forcing Light to bring up the story of her past.

" It's okay, I'm just a little baper. " Speak Light while smiling stiffly.

" Maybe it's a punishment for your ex, for lying to you that long. He was also mistreated by his mistress." Rania was carried away with emotions hearing the bitter story of Light.

" If the punishment is only for Mas Arul I am sincere. But as a result of his sin I, Dinar and Blue ended up in the Hospital with physical and psychic injuries. "

" What !? " Rania understood very well the meaning of the Light's speech. But how can...

" The fateful night was the peak. Exactly two years after the company Mas Arul lived the name. Two years also I experienced KDRT, not only physically but also mentally I was also damaged by it. Not only was my body tired of making a living but also my heart ached every time Mas Arul bullied me violently while cursing at Amelia. He didn't hesitate to beat and plunge my hair to fall out. Slaps and bites without feeling. And it's been two years without me complaining to anyone. Because I still hope one day he'll come to his senses . You know why I'm so sure she'll realize someday ?"

Rania just shook her head with glassy eyes.

" Because after she's done all that she won't show up at home for a week or even more to avoid me . I've seen him cry to see my condition after the night he hurt me. Mas, Arul apologized many times while whispering afraid I would wake up. I woke up just afraid to open my eyes because I was traumatized against him. I think Mas Arul still has a sense of regret, it's just frustrating to mislead him. "

" But the awareness of Mas Arul that I expected was just empty expectations. That night was the answer. Mas Arul was crazy, hurt me to heartless, a wound that did not disappear even after three years. Not only me but the Binar and Blue as well. That night Mas Arul was not human. He was like a wild animal that ruined me and Blue and Blue Binar watched him with their holy eyes. Until... damaging their mental and need special handling . "

The light trembled in tears remembering her while Rania sobbed while clasping the Light hand as if to strengthen. The two friends dissolved in tears for a moment, until the Light said...

" I wish I never saw him again. "

But it's just a hope. Who knows about the future. Everything is set at the appointed time.
