The First Night Tragedy

chapter 20

In Chintya's room.

"Oh Allah, what, I can bear my days like this. My mother-in-law was kind to me only when there was my husband and other house people. I am tired, God. How many months have I lived as a daughter-in-law in this house but I have complained, I'm sorry God because I asked and complained to you too much" Chintya said after finishing the ashar prayer.

After the prayer, Chintya continued to pray and after that she poured out all her heart to her Lord. She could not tell her parents because she was afraid that they would grieve on the other side, Chintya could not tell her husband because she was afraid of the threat of her mother-in-law.

After the completion of the prayer and all her outpouring of heart, Chintya immediately tidied up her prayer tools and then immediately came out of her room to help Siti cook.

Every day without being asked, Chintya always helps Siti cook. She wants to be a useful wife to her husband and wants to serve him well.

"Dear afternoon, good afternoon baby" said Marcell who just arrived at his home.

"Mas, are you home yet? Tumben at this hour has arrived home?" ask Chintya.

Usually Marcell arrived at the house at around seventeen and even passed Maghrib, but not today. The new clock showed at sixteen but Marcell had already arrived home.

"I miss you and our son."

Chintya smiled and kissed the back of her husband's hand.

"Every day I see you too."

"Yes dong, you're my only wife and soon we'll have children."

"Yes, you rest in the room, I'll cook for dinner."

"Cooking? You can't do anything to keep me in the room?"

"Mas, I have to cook if we don't cook later what do we want to eat?"

"There's no Lady."

"Chintya, follow your husband's request. You accompany Marcell in the room so that the cook Ma'am Siti aja," said Merlyne.

"Mama's right."

"But I."

"Chintya, you're pregnant young, not good most of the work anyways you've helped Ma'am Siti nyapu right."

Marcell looked at Chintya with a strange look. "Darling, you know if you say yes, I told you not to hold homework because I don't want our child to do anything."

"Yes, sorry. I was bored in my room so I swept the yard to get rid of the boredom."

"It's smart that you look for Chintya's reasons. Today you can escape Marcell's anger but tomorrow, I won't let you off the hook" Merlyne said in her heart.

Merlyne, who wants them to separate, begins to do everything in her power to make Marcell hate Chintya and eventually divorce Chintya.

"Yes, now we enter the room yes," said Marcell.

Chintya smiled faintly then immediately stepped towards her room.

"I don't care if you help Ms. Siti but you have to be careful, don't let our baby why" said Marcell as he continued walking.

"Yes, I know it."

Shortly after, Marcell and Chintya went into his room. Julius and Daniel arrive at his house!

"Whichever Chintya is, Papa would like to see Papa's grandson" Daniel told Merlyne.

"Just come home instead of kissing Mama instead nanyain Chintya," ketus Merlyne.

"Sorry Ma is not Papa bored with Mama but Papa wants to meet our grandchildren."

"How many weeks old is Pa, the baby isn't there yet" Julius said.

"You know, it's okay to look at the Chintya. Just like, the baby's in Chintya's stomach."

"Chintya and Marcell just entered his room Pa, Marcell again want to spoil his wife. Papa don't bother them" explained Merlyne.

"It's better to take a shower first." Daniel walked straight to his room.

"I also want to take a shower, sultry" Julius said, leaving Merlyne there.

"Everyone must love Chintya more, I'm sure it's harder to make her feel uncomfortable in this house" Merlyne murmured.

*******

At Aya's house.

"Marcell has gone home from work yet? I want to invite him to meet," said Soraya who was sitting on a chair on the balcony of her room.

Aya who has loved Marcell since long ago feel excited to pursue Marcell because it has got the blessing of Merlyne.

Aya called Marcell with high confidence. Marcell who had been good to him, made him have more hope in the handsome man.

Several times called Marcell but never connected, Marcell did not also receive a call from him.

"Why not get lifted? Even though this hour Marcell should have come home from his office," murmured Aya.

Aya kept trying to call Marcell until many times until he was tired of waiting, he just stopped his attempt to call Marcell.

He put his cell phone on the table and then he got out of his seat!

"Why not get picked up, has Marcell not come home from his office yet? Supposedly for a single person, Marcell has a lot of time on his own" Aya muttered.

Aya stood next to the balcony fence of her room while holding the iron fence protector. His eyes stared into the air and his mind began to drift.

"Mas, from now on you want to keep gini?" chintya.

Chintya who began to feel bored because from earlier Marcell continued to hug her ventured to ask her husband.

"I'm still at home like this. Can't you?"

"That's it but I'm achy Mas."

"If achy change position dong dear. Find a position that's comfortable for you and our baby."

"Where do you want to try? Your people stick around like magnets."

Marcell laughed and took off his embrace.

"Yes-yes I let go now you find a comfortable position first."

"I'm glad you took a shower to make it smell."

"Okay, if I take a shower. You don't run away."

Chintya laughed crisply. "Where's the dust? I'm afraid I'm far away from you so I'll never run away."

Marcell smiled and went into the bathroom to clean himself up.
