The Heart of Poor Women

Not Valuable Things

The gods have told Rafa, that the preparation for departure to the city of Y is in order.

Not willing to waste time, Rafa immediately rushed, and hoped he would not be disappointed, and found his wife there.

According to the address given by his father-in-law, Rafa no longer hesitates to go there, and has great hopes that he will bring his wife back.

While Aliando, his father Rafa, gets information from his confidant, that his son is traveling to the city of Y, in search of his son-in-law Atika.

"May you not disappoint mommy as well as daddy this time Rafa" inner Aliando, hoping his son succeeds with his departure to the city of Y.

Before long the plane that Rafa was riding arrived at the airport, there was waiting for some of his men, and some cars were lined up neatly, welcoming the arrival of the young master.

City Y, also one of the cities where Rafa's business runs quite rapidly, with his company in the city of Y, so that his arrival was informed, all his men were immediately deft to welcome the young master who was in power and also highly respected.

Seeing his men who had stood neatly welcoming his arrival, Rafa also walked towards the car that had been prepared to go to the address they were going to.

While somewhere, Atika increasingly looks weak, even her face is very pale, because her diet is irregular, even Atika is also difficult to sleep, making her body look thin.

His grandmother or aunt of his mother, had repeatedly persuaded Atika to eat regularly, and regular rest, but Atika seemed deaf to the persuasion of the grandmother, and the mother, as if, her mind was filled only with the shadow of her husband with another woman.

Naturally Atika was so bad at this, because as long as she became a mature woman, never near or knew any man, who had ever stopped in her heart.

Rafa is the first man to enter her life, so what is happening right now, makes Atika so sick, and difficult to accept, not to mention because of misunderstanding the words of her husband, her husband, so Atika guessed that her husband only saw her from the side of pity, not because of love, as he felt towards her husband.

Atika is currently sitting in the backyard, under a shady tree, cool nature, and the air is still so fresh, making Atika a little comfortable, even though her mind is somehow running to where, and the, blank stares forward, making Atika like a person who lost her body.

While Rafa's motorcade, already approaching the address they were going to, did not want to enter the house wrong, Rafa had one of his men ask the people around, about the address they were looking for.

And finally they arrived at a house that looked simple, even the house was small for a young Rafa the tian. But Rafa never judged anything of a different caste.

Even the cars that stopped, made the neighbors surprised, because there were rarely luxury cars entering their village, but they did not dare to ask, only able to see from a distance.

Grandma Atika who just wanted to leave, her steps stopped, when she saw there were several cars and men in black clothes with sturdy posture in her yard.

Seeing a man getting out of the car, and walking closer to his house, the grandmother looked seriously at the man who was walking closer and closer.

"Good day Grandma" said Rafa politely and in a low voice, afraid that Grandma thought they were a gang of criminals.

"Good day too" said the grandmother was no less friendly, although in fact the grandmother was a little worried.

"Is this really Mila's mother's house?? ask Rafa chimed in.

" Oh right, and I'm Mila, what's the need, son?? grandma replied, honestly and asked back.

"Include Nek, I am Rafa Aliando Pratama, I am the husband of Atika" Rafa said, frankly.

"Atika??

" Yes Nek, Atika is my wife, and I have information that my wife came here, is that true Grandma?? asked Rafa, who impatiently wanted to know.

"Well, Atika is here, but grandma doesn't know exactly, why Atika suddenly came to visit, even since coming, just moody, rarely talk and difficult to ask to eat" said the grandmother explained the arrival of Atika, and the attitude of Atika who did not interact so much with her grandmother.

Deg

Rafa's chest was immediately crowded, hearing the state of his wife's concern, making him feel more guilty.

"Ah, grandma forgot to invite in" said Mila's grandmother who realized had not allowed her guests to enter, and sat down.

The words of the grandmother, just disperse Rafa from his heavy mind, which had momentarily felt the heart beating erratically, because he knew the state of his wife.

"Sorry Nek, can I meet Atika now?? ask permission, no longer ignore the invitation of grandmother to enter the house.

Hearing Rafa's request, the grandmother instead of answering, instead looked at Rafa with an intense gaze, according to the grandmother, whether Atika would be angry if she allowed Rafa, to meet Atika at this time. But the grandmother again thought, no matter how Rafa is her husband Atika, and the grandmother has no right to forbid Rafa to meet Atika, let Atika decide later, and it seems like they should meet, indeed, and the grandmother was increasingly convinced that the silent Atika did not want to tell the story from the beginning, showing that the state of the household was not okay.

"Grandmother does not forbid you to see Atika, but the grandmother asked, do not make her too depressed, what else lately, her health declined, and if later Atika could not be spoken to properly, he said, do not force it, let him calm down first" said Mila's grandmother, afraid Atika is getting worse, what else with her condition is pregnant old.

"Well, Nek, Rafa will listen to my grandmother's advice, and I don't have to worry, because I'm not a rude man" said Rafa, not wanting her to be prejudiced, his arrival to make Atika even worse, and he's not the kind of a coercive man.

"Alright, grandma believes you, go inside, Atika is in the backyard" said Mila's grandmother allowing Rafa, to see Atika.

Rafa immediately thanked Grandma Mila, because she had been allowed to enter. With wide steps Rafa walked towards the back, when he arrived at the back door, Rafa saw the figure he had missed in these few days, sitting pensively with a blank look, and like a dazed person.

Atika is completely unaware of the existence of Rafa, an empty gaze, a thought that went nowhere, making Atika unconscious Rafa who has walked towards her.

Shaking feet, sending Rafa right in front of his wife, because so tight, Rafa immediately crouched in front of Atika, touching Atika's hand, as if awakening Atika, if he was with her at this time.

Atika who felt a touch in her hand, was surprised, and reflexively pulled her hand, when she realized who was in front of her at this time, Atika instead of being happy even looked intently at Rafa.

"Sorry sorry, sorry for my attitude you left the house, I beg you to forgive me" said Rafa, who immediately pleaded.

Hearing the expression of her husband's apology Atika, even laughed cynically, somehow Atika actually increasingly hate to see Rafa, what else is the shadow when Rafa with a beautiful woman, back to attack Atika, Atika, making Atika increasingly unwilling to see the figure of her husband.

"You're not wrong, why apologize?? atika ketus.

" I confess my misdeed, dear, I know that you have good intentions for Jhon and Siska, and I have set them free" said Rafa, who thought his wife was gone, still because of Jhon and Siska.

"Well, whatever I care about them, whatever you want to do to them, I have nothing to do with it.

Rafa who heard his wife's words became confused, was not his own wife who insisted not to punish John and Siska?? but why doesn't his wife even care?? wondering in the heart.

"Mas did not lie dear, I have forgotten all that, and let them be free, said Rafa, repeating his words earlier.

"Enough.! I don't want to discuss anything, please leave, and I no longer want to be disturbed.!! said Atika who was fed up, hearing her husband's words.

Hearing the harsh words of his wife, Rafa grew even more astonished, as if he did not recognize his wife anymore, because Atika had never spoken this harshly with him.

" Mas will not leave here, before you also come home the same mas" said Rafa who did not want to move.

"You are none of me sir, so please leave this place, ever since I left your house, I am no longer part of your family nor your own.!!

Atika's words further ignited the emotions of Rafa, who spoke like everyone else, and had no ties whatsoever.

" What do you mean to say so dearly" though his heart was hot, but Rafa still spoke kindly, to Atika.

"Darling??? sir don't mock me, I'm nobody to you, and it's nothing precious, I'm just trash you pick up off the streets, and I remember that, you know, I remember that, and know where I come from.!!

" Enough Atika.!! I don't know what you're saying, and you know why you left that time, because I was hurt because you said you were just "junk" and mas picked you up out of pity, not out of great love, and now you repeat that saying again, I don't think, that's your mind?? I think you can see how your feelings and love are to you, but you are blind to it, unable to see which one is genuine.

Rafa can no longer stem his anger, until he unconsciously snapped at his wife, making Atika so afraid, even surprised because of the sound of Rafa's snapping, making Atika to cry.

Atika stood up from her seat, and wanted to leave Rafa, but Rafa immediately withdrew Atika's hand, preventing Atika from leaving from there.

"Detach.!!

" No, I will not let you go again, you have to come home, because mommy and daddy are waiting for you, said Rafa, who clasped Atika's hand tightly.

"I'm not going back to that house, and I don't deserve to be there, because there's something more appropriate.!!

" What are you talking about Atika, mas don't understand, you just said "junk" now there is more "worthy" what does all that mean??

"I don't have to explain anything, and ask yourself, and if you want to get married again, I'm ready for you to divorce.!!!

" Sup.!!

Rafa's voice, again blaring, heard the word divorce coming out of Atika's mouth, for him it was like a sacred sentence in his life.

Hearing Rafa's clasping, Atika grew scared and wept, until she violently brushed Rafa's hand away, and ran, went into his room, and locked from the inside.

Honestly Atika was very scared, only this time Atika felt the anger of her husband, because all this time they had never fought so badly.

Rafa who saw the departure of Atika, was eager to vent his anger at this time, but he had to hold back, fearing that Mila's grandmother would think differently of him.

"Aaakkkkhhhhh siaall.!!!

Shouting, letting go of his annoyance and anger, the more he was inexhaustible, with Atika's thought, which was so easy to express the word divorce, and it made Rafa boil, almost out of control.

Next...
