The Heart (Nadira)

episode 04

Alby had been sitting at the dinner table, when Nadira was about to serve him, Alby refused.

" I can take it myself."

For some reason, Alby's words pierced Dira's heart. They eat without anyone making a sound. Only the clanking of spoons and forks was heard. After eating, Alby went back to his room. Dira cleaned the dishes and tables and headed straight for his room. The room is next to Alby's.

Nadira stretched out her body, staring at the ceiling of the room. Think about how the fate of her marriage will be. Marriage of matchmaking.

...****************...

Time has passed, the marriage between Nadira and Alby has entered the third month. Nothing has changed, Alby is still cold. Nadira is used to it. They are like two strangers living under one roof.

Tonight, after dinner, Alby invites Nadira to talk.

" I'm going to marry Shifa. "

The words of Alby, successfully made Nadira surprised. At a wedding that is still in the corn Nadira must accept himself in honey.

" With or without your blessing, I will marry her. "

Alby said without thinking about Nadira's feelings.

" Married, I won't stand in the way. But what about our parents? "

Nadira thought about how later, if their parents knew, that Alby was remarried.

Alby said as he passed leaving Nadira alone in the living room. No tears Nadira dripped, thinking about the fate of this marriage. Nadira believes that he will be thrown from Alby's life.

The time is 9pm, but Alby hasn't come home yet. Nadira was just waiting for him in the room. Yes Nadira's room, not theirs. Even to this day, Alby hasn't touched her at all.

The sound of a car entering the yard of the house, making Nadira stop his activities. Nadira, who was still recording customer demand, stopped doing his job. He opened a few curtains in his bedroom window. Seeing Alby enter the house in a state of chaos, making Nadira frown.

Nadira rushed down the stairs, and saw Alby's condition.

" You why Mas? "

Nadira asked because during her marriage to Alby, she had never seen Alby in this mess.

" It's all your fault that if you don't accept this match, I'm now happy to be living with my lover. I'll be happy now."

Alby said with heightened emotion, and grabbed onto Nadira's arms.

" It doesn't want you, huh? make my life suffer? aren't they? answer? ."

Alby said that by continuing to shake Nadira's body, making Nadira frightened and crying, seeing it, instead of making Alby pity, even making Alby throw Nadira's body towards the sofa. And then leave Nadira. A frightened Nadira could only cry. And ran towards his room.

This morning, Nadira still provides breakfast and coffee as usual for Alby. The only difference is, this time Nadira did not take breakfast together. He decided to go to the shop early. He doesn't want to see Alby right now. Alby's attitude last night had hurt Nadira. Arriving at the shophouse, Nadira went straight to her room. He lamented his fate and Alby's attitude last night. Not only was Alby a victim, but he was also. But why does Alby feel that only he is the victim.
