The Forbidden Desire of the Wife

Love is Not a Shackle

"How much did Melvin play, how much did you get?" ask the friend of Lista. Presumably so much that his friend wanted to know about the figure of Melvin Andrian.

"Not once played, but it's been a monthly allotment. My apartment was bought by Melvin in my name. Maybe at that time, the monthly money to the bin was less, he gave more to me," replied Lista vividly.

Marsha enjoys her food. Spaghetti Carbonara is so delicious, and it also listens directly to the story of her ex-husband. But sometimes Marsha smiles.

It is as if life is laughing at you. Just like today, when Marsha seemed to eavesdrop on the story of Melvin Andrian's mistress. How she compared, considered barren, even secretly cheated on by her own husband.

"I'm just horrified, if it's to play rough like that," replied his friend Lista.

"Ashik-joked really. If you have, just take medicine, take pain relievers, and sleep," replied Lyst with a chuckle.

As if not wanting to hear more stories, while their food was running out, Marsha invited Abraham to come home. Even Marsha who was wearing a mask and glasses just waltzed past Lista and his friend. Not at all dizzy with everything he heard straight from that Lista's mouth.

“You're okay?” asked Abraham who had gotten into the car and was about to drive his car.

“Nothing kok Mas, I'm fine,” reply Marsha.

Abraham's question does sound cliche, only Abraham has the right to ask it because it all relates to Marsha's past. Abraham only wants Marsha to be able to share anything with him, including his past.

Along the way, the two chose to remain silent. Marsha who occasionally rubbed his stomach so bloated and certainly felt full because eating a variety of delicious Italian food, while Abraham concentrated on driving his car. However, Abraham had already thought that once he arrived at the apartment, he would ask Marsha everything directly.

“Slow down Shayang,” said Abraham who is now helping Marsha out of the car. Abraham reached out his hand to help Marsha. Of course, Marsha gladly received a helping hand from Abraham.

Abraham took Marsha's hand from the parking lot, and entered their unit. Then, as soon as he arrived at the unit, Abraham was still waiting. Allowing Marsha to change her clothes, and clean herself for a moment. While Abraham waited by sitting on the sofa that he deliberately placed on the balcony of his apartment.

“You are here Mas?” marsha asked who followed her husband to the balcony.

“Iya, get some fresh air .. by late afternoon too,” reply Abraham.

“Tumben really ... usually always inside,” reply Marsha.

“Bby ... want to ask what?” sahut Marsha's.

“You really are okay with what you just heard at the restaurant?” ask Abraham.

Marsha shook her head, “No .. I'm fine. Everything is just the past, Mas .. anyways, I am now happier,” said Marsha honestly.

When some people feel down after divorce, Marsha actually feels the opposite. He felt happier after his divorce from Melvin. Whether it was because she felt free from the snares of the actor, felt the pregnancy for the first time, or because Abraham was beside her.

“You sure you're happier?” ask Abraham again.

“I am happy living with you, Mas .. I feel completely free from shackles,” Marsha replied.

Honestly, Marsha also admitted that divorce from Melvin made it seem free from shackles. Shackles that have injured him physically, verbally, mentally, and also sexually. Living a happy life without fear, that's what Marsha feels right now.

Abraham stared at Marsha's face so intently, the man finally believed in the answer given by Marsha. Abraham was fully convinced that Marsha was happy right now. Because, if Marsha is not happy, Abraham will try to make Marsha happy.

Abraham smiled, the man raised his face slightly, and without permission kissed Marsha's lips. Her lips were thin, and always left a sweet taste, every time she kissed him.

Chup!

“Makasih Shayang .. I'm just afraid that marrying me would make you unhappy. So, if you feel unhappy, please tell me .. I will try to always make you happy. Your happiness is my priority,” Abraham said earnestly.

Marsha smiled, the woman looked down embarrassed after getting a kiss on her lips from Abraham. Responding to Abraham's kisses and sincere words, Marsha embraced her husband by wrapping her hands around his waist.

“Makasih Mas .. sure, one of the reasons I am happier now is you. Maybe my name is still bad out there. Because I got pregnant first. I got married not long after my idiom was over, a lot of sins I committed. It's just, I'm happy with you, really,” Marsha said.

In this life there are many reasons to be happy, and for Marsha, one of the reasons can be happy because of Abraham. Escape from all the mistakes she's ever made, but one that Marsha feels she's happy.

Ending a marriage that turns into shackles, Marsha seems to break the rope that snared and reined her neck. No husband is rude, a husband raises his hand, a husband imposes sex. Despite all the shackles it really made Marsha so happy.
