Chapter 6 Puzelle
After Miss Minati, Niken stuck alone on the sofa in the middle room. There was a strange feeling of finding this family situation. Niken is like being in the middle of a rolling whirlpool.
After being satisfied with her confusion, Niken decides to dig further about her husband's family. Something that had never crossed his innocent mind all this time.
Niken began to open Richard's drawers and cabinets. In the corner of Richard's desk drawer, Niken found an old Business magazine.
On her headline page is a photo of Richard's family. In the photo is a middle-aged man who is believed to be Niken as Richard's father. There is Bu Minati, Richard and one boy is still the age of third grade junior high.
Reviewed in the magazine's narrative how Richard's father built his business. How harmonious their families are. Happy family with two boys. Niken stunned. Isn't Richard the only son ? or this is his father's son with another woman but is disguised as the younger half-brother of a mother with Richard.
In another corner of the drawer was tucked away an old photo. Grandpa's picture looks a lot like Richard's father. He was with his father Richard and a father Richard's age.
Niken ignored the photo and returned the entire contents of the drawer and when he was about to put down a document file, another worn out piece of photo fell. The picture of a couple, his wife is pregnant, in the background of the husband and wife photo hanging on the wall photo of the grandfather who had just found Niken with the man and Richard's father. Niken considered it unimportant to her, so she hurried to rework the desk in Richard's study.
As he was leaving Richard's room, his message rang. A call from the owner of Production House who often uses his services. Mas Baron, as it is written on his screen.
"Hurry up Ken, please, I don't have much time to find anyone else. You're the best in this field."
Niken's confused. Should he have Richard accompany him.
Niken contacted Richard, but he was very busy because of the many clients from abroad. But Richard allowed his wife to accept the job. The origin of home is not too late. Niken is overjoyed, now it is not about matter, but inner satisfaction.
Baron asks Niken to turn a famous artist who is slim and beautiful into fat and ugly.
After some time, Baron smiled satisfied to see the masterpiece of Niken who was able to conjure the woman so that it could not be recognized by anyone.
"It's not wrong that I picked you Ken, so cool, so fast and sober."
Niken laughed and reminded the Baron to add his bonus payment. The baron laughed amusedly and gave a thumbs up.
******************************
Richard takes Niken with him to return to trauma healing therapy. Today was a busy day for Richard, but he took the time to heal himself and his wife.
Arriving at his Psychiatrist's practice, Richard asked Niken first to undergo a hypnotherapy session.
In the hypnotherapy room, Niken lay relaxed while holding her husband's fingers. With the guidance of the great Psychiatrist with a Prof in his field, Niken began to enter the subconscious.
Richard saw a changed expression on Niken's face. He seemed happy for a moment and then frightened and cried hysterically. Niken woke up with her whole body shivering and sweating. When it dawned she tightly hugged her husband Sembari sobbing in the chest of the field.
Richard calms Niken.
The doctor asked Niken to tell him what he saw in his subconscious
Niken said that she saw her young self running around and happy with two adults like father and mother to her, but the husband and wife is not like the husband and wife who is shown a picture of her by Aunt Cyntia as her biological parents who have died.
In her subconscious, Niken sees herself trapped with a young boy in the flames. The two joined hands and cried together.
Then Niken also saw herself locked up in a small, dark place. Until there Niken can no longer continue because it was awakened by a hypnotherapist.
Yang Niken did not understand, why the face of the old man in his subconscious felt so familiar, as if he had seen somewhere.
When she reached the apartment, Niken continued to hug Richard as if only Richard could make her feel very comfortable.
"Honey, your device keeps ringing from us on the street, why don't you pick up, maybe it's important."
Niken's advice didn't make Richard raise his salary.
Written on the screen that's Daddy's cruel. Niken pensive.
The depth of what psychological wounds a father creates on his son that look so deep the wounds left behind.
Niken looked into the eyes of her husband, in the arms of his face with both hands.
"Honey, face the reality before us, maybe your father already knows where I am on your side, avoid not going to ...."
"You don't know what my father honey looks like." lamented Richard sadly.
Niken encouraged her husband to take the call.
"Sooner or later we're gonna have to deal with this, right?"
Richard nodded and raised his father's call and opened the loud speaker so that Niken could listen.
"Richard, since when did you dare to oppose your father, I asked you to marry Elfa you instead married a woman who is not clear of origin and proposal. Divorce that woman or father will do something you could never have imagined? You're making our family a joke?" squealing Dad across the phone.
Richard looked at Niken and clasped his fingers.
"This family is indeed a joke Well, always pretending to be perfect and happy, just to deceive the public for the sins that father committed, what father denies?"
"Secret divorce is like you did that wedding, or ...."
"Dad threatened me? remember Well no more intimidating me, I'm an adult, don't try to touch my wife even if it's just a strand of her hair."
There was a loud laughter. Laughter full of arrogance of a half-old man.
"What can you do Richard, you're as naive and stupid as your mother's. And remember, immediately divorce your wife, I give you only one month to clean up this mess, don't try to bring her to the public, your taste is as low as your mother!"
Richard's face stiffened. The color turned dark and seemed to harbor tremendous anger.
Put his life on the bed. Niken hugged her husband, trying to calm her down. Slowly Niken's embrace was able to unravel Richard's fist.
"I'm sorry Honey, you've had this much trouble by my side."
Richard returned Niken's embrace.
Niken stroked the back of the man in her arms.
"As long as you are beside me, there is nothing in the world that I fear dear." whispered Niken.
Richard asks Niken to never abandon himself no matter what.
