After an actual breakfast only a few minutes, but it feels so long. Marsha follows Melvin to her room. At least Marsha wanted to say why Melvin had the initiative to defend her. Shouldn't her husbands defend their wives when cornered. However, Melvin was just ignorant and was actually engrossed in enjoying his Scramble Egg.
"Well, can I talk?" marsha asked before she took out all her junk. At least Melvin is her husband, Marsha should issue complaints to the man who has been married for two years.
"What's? Just don't take too long, I'm going to the location" Melvin replied.
Marsha sighed with all her chest, was it just giving her a little time to hear her complaints couldn't? The woman finally chose to talk soon.Not going to procrastinate again before Melvin will leave for the set.
"You don't care to hear Mama who has cornered me so many times?" ask Marsha.
At least it was a decoy question, so Melvin could tell his views without having to corner his mother-in-law first. At once, Marsha could ask Melvin to say from his point of view.
"Commolving how Yang? I think it's natural" Melvin replied. Even today the man showed an ordinary reaction.
Marsha's heart felt like it was pinched when Melvin said that Mama's words were natural. A little hurt because Melvin did not look at the problem from his glasses. Even the words that Mama Saraswati said sounded ordinary in Melvin's ears.
"Even accusing me of being barren is natural?" ask Marsha.
The woman now looks teary. When an in-law blatantly said that his barren son-in-law was the biggest blow to a woman. Feeling imperfect, feeling sick, and also regretting a barren verdict. When the doctor has not diagnosed anything, but there is Mama Saraswati who first sentenced him to barrenness. Though he feels good, there is no obstacle with menstruation. Although there was a time when Marsha was confused, because in two years she had absolutely no signs of pregnancy. Usually, there was never any strangeness in his body.
"That's what, don't have to be put in the heart. We will check fertility together anyway. Already, do nothing put the heart. Mama's only been here for a day and you've been jittery" Melvin replied.
Maybe Melvin meant well, so that Marsha was not careless, especially one day her mother was here. Melvin hopes Marsha can be more patient to reveal everything. Marsha will be patient. That's Melvin's belief.
With a rumbling chest, Marsha chose to suppress her feelings. Again, this is not the kind of thing Marsha wants from Melvin. She needs a husband figure as a guardian and can bridge between herself and her parents. Indeed Marsha could not be a perfect figure, many flaws in him. However, Melvin behaved too well in everything. Realizing all that, Marsha chose silence. Maybe he doesn't need to share his grievances with Melvin.
"Udah well, don't put the heart in." Melvin spoke, this time the man took a few steps forward and started hugging Marsha's body. Carrying his wife's body in his arms for a moment. Just for a moment, because after that Melvin immediately released a fragile body and needed a place to lean.
"Be careful at home, don't get tired. Patience," he said.
After that Melvin left Marsha just like that. The man passed by and was about to head to the set for work. Melvin just left, not even looking back. Meanwhile, Marsha sat languidly in the corner of the sofa.
At a time like this, it seems Marsha wants to get out of the house for a while. Slightly seeking a breath of fresh air, and winning himself.
"Ma, Marsha said she wanted to come out for a while," he said with a polite word to his mother-in-law.
"Where are you going Sha?" mama Saraswati asked who seemed to want to know where Marsha was going.
"Meet a friend for a moment, Ma" he said.
Actually Marsha only went alone and did not meet anyone. However, Marsha said she would meet with her friend so that Mama Saraswati would not be suspicious. If, say will go alone, surely Mama Saraswati could have accused him that she intends to avoid in-laws who are at home.
Slowly the middle-aged woman nodded her head, "Yes already, be careful," he said.
Feeling that he had received permission from Mama Saraswati, Marsha immediately drove her car. The place he wanted to go right now was a city park near the Coffee Shop called Coffee Bay. He thought when he was tired, Marsha just went to Coffee Bay and bought his favorite Americano Ice.
Driving alone in the car, Marsha chose to focus on driving, not at all playing music that could accompany her to drive. His mind was too stifled, his heart was too tired. It had only been a day, but Marsha was already feeling so depressed.
Until Marsha finally arrived at the City Park. Just as usual, Marsha wears a mask to cover her nose to her mouth, then wears glasses. Maybe like this, she will not be recognized as the wife of a top actor.
The park bench near the small water pool became the place Marsha now goes. The woman sat there, enjoying her solitude. No problem just making lonely friends, feeling the breeze, staring at the white cloud clumps in the sky above, and seeing the leaves waving. I think all this is enough for Marsha.
In order not to look pathetic, even Marsha brought a book written by Kahlil Gibran, entitled The Prophet. Reading page after page of the story of Al Mustafa and pervading every word in the book that is so beautiful and meaningful in.
Quoted in the book, "If love beckons to you, surrender …."
It was as if Marsha was determined to surrender at this moment. The household was initially happy, but it was lukewarm in the end. Marsha asked for it to end, but she had no good reason.
Not only with Melvin, but also with his in-laws who despite his good attitude, but his words sound hurtful. With all that, Marsha did not want to survive. It feels like Marsha is looking for and getting happiness for herself. I want it to feel like Marsha's getting a leaning spot that accepts her. His life was full of luxury, but lacking affection and attention.
Not getting attention from the husband, not getting affection from in-laws, and also no baby who makes the household life is not warm. Imagining all that, Marsha sighed. The woman seemed to be fixated on a sentence that etched such a deep meaning in her heart.
What kind of surrender he had to take. Giving up waving a white flag or giving up on all these weird situations? Marsha had to convince her heart and make a decision with what happened this time. Continue or continue.
