The Crown that Be snatched
Father-in-law's punch



Mr. Junedi lost control. One blow he had slung into Rama's stomach.


"Oh.."pekik Rama while holding his stomach which is quite sick when getting a blow from his father-in-law.


"Mr...! enough Sir! don't hit Rama again...!" said Ms. Astri with a high tone.


Shakira who was still inside her room immediately came out of the room when she heard her mother's screams. Shakira then stepped into the living room to approach her father and husband.


Shakira was shocked when she saw her father beating her husband.


"Father enough Sir...! enough...!" shakira shouted as she approached her husband.


She stretched out her arms and cried in front of her father.


"Don't hit my husband again sir. I beg. He could die if you beat him up" said Shakira staring intently at his father.


Shakira was unable to see her helpless husband. Shakira had been standing in front of her father, preventing him from beating her husband.


Mr. Junedi set the breath. Trying to quell his anger. After that he left the living room.


After her father left, Shakira approached her husband. Shakira then helped her husband stand up and took him to the room. Shakira then locked the door of her room tightly.


Shakira took her husband to sit down. They then sat down on the side of his bed.


"Hiks.hiks. You can really sleep with my sister, " said Shakira staring intently at her husband with a tearful divorce.


"I'm sorry, honey. I was drunk last night. And I don't remember anything. I did not intentionally do that to your sister. I was also shocked when there was your sister beside me. I swear I don't remember anything about last night" Rama explained to his wife and tried to convince Shakira to believe him.


Hiks hyks...


Shakira has not been able to stop her crying. She was still crying by her husband's side.


Rama grabbed Shakira's hand and held it tightly.


"Darling, I'm innocent in this. Your sister should be blamed. Why would he sleep with me. Why did he tease me when I was drunk. I am a normal man. Which man won't be tempted by your sister. She was beautiful, and we lived in this house only two. And last night it was raining heavily and the woman I wanted to hug didn't exist" Rama said, twisting the facts.


But the truth is not like that. But that is how Rama so that he is not blamed by his wife and in-laws.


"Enough Mas...! That's enough...! do not continue that saying of yours. I can't hear it. My heart is so broken. You've already desecrated my sister. Which woman will be able to accept it" said Shakira holding her chest tight.


Shakira threw her husband's hand. Then he stood up. After that she looked at her husband sharply.


"I don't believe in you anymore. I don't trust my sister anymore either. I hate you both. I want us to divorce Mas. I want a divorce from you. Hicks..."


Rama sighed and for a moment he closed his eyes. After that he followed his wife to her feet. Rama again grabbed his wife's hand and clasped it tightly.


"Darling, please don't leave me dear. Forgive me for all my mistakes. I'm khilaf to do it. I will do anything for you as long as you will forgive me, "said Rama who feared losing his beloved wife.


Shakira wiped her tears. After that she threw her husband's hand and ran out of her room. He would not listen to the words that came out of Ramah's mouth.

Moments later, Safia's room door opened. Madam Astri went into Safia's room.


"Safia, I can't believe what you and Rama have done. You can cheat behind Shakira's back. I don't think the same about you, Safia. Why can you do this. You have the same heart as your sister," said Ms. Astri suddenly who made Safia surprised.


"Mom, this isn't what you think. I never cheated on Mas Rama. I'm the victim, ma'am. I am the victim of Mas Rama. Mas Rama who has asked me to sleep with him" Safia explained.


"lih...! it was all a lie. Rama could not have done that...!" said Shakira who suddenly entered Safia's room following her mother in.


Safia looked at her brother sharply.


"Mr. I'm honest Ma'am. Mas Rama got drunk last night and he forced me to do just that" Safia said in self-defense.


"No. It was all a lie. Mas Rama himself said that you seduced him last night. Which man wouldn't be tempted when a beautiful woman teases him, let alone drunk." Shakira still can't believe it.


"So you don't believe me, sister Mama herself? You believe more in Rama than I do? huh mbak?"


"Yes. I believe more in my husband than I believe in you" Shakira said, pointing at her sister's face.


"Yes Allah Ma'am. I'm the victim. Victim of your husband's depravity. I was raped by Ma'am. I'm not the one who teased your husband...!"


"But I still don't believe in you."


"Already... already..! stopit! no need to fuss in front of mom. You are not ashamed, fussing about this. You guys should be ashamed. What if the neighbors know about this. Shy mom. Want to put where this mother's face is if this news spreads out."


Ms. Astri is not willing to extend a debate that will never have an end.


Astri looked at Shakira. She then embraces Shakira's shoulder and takes Shakira away from her sister's room.


"Come on, come with me! we can talk about this all right. Don't fuss here. Shame to hear the neighbors."

After that night, Shakira, Rama, and Safia's relationship became unkind. They become hostile to each other. One day they did not greet each other.


Junedi and Ms. Astri were confused. They also could not decide who was at fault between Rama and Safia. Because they don't want anyone to blame.


Mr. Junedi for now has not been able to take decisions and actions. He had to think carefully about all these problems.


If he drove Rama out of his house, it would be impossible. What if Safia gets pregnant. Who will be responsible for Safia pregnancy.


However, she also cannot blame her son Safia, as Bu Astri and Shakira continue to blame Safia.


Because Pak Junedi believes that Safia is unlikely to tempt Rama let alone have the intention to take Rama from his brother's hands.


Mr. Junedi is currently still waiting for a decision from Shakira. Whether he will forgive Rama and continue his marriage to Rama or Shakira will choose the path of divorce. Because Shakira will not be easy to forgive what Rama has done to his sister
