The Rise of the Insulted Woman
27. fight again
One Sunday, Siti and Reyhan became a couple. They had just arrived in Jakarta, more precisely at Bu Lia's house. Reyhan was deliberately not making a new home because of Ms. Lia who did not want to live by her youngest child. Siti did not mind if she had to live with her in-laws, for her the same would live anywhere, as long as she was with her husband.
"Darling, you don't work right?" Reyhan asked Siti who was putting clothes in the closet.
"No mas. There are still three days to leave. Why?" Ask Siti who paused for a moment from her activities and then resumed her
"It's aja. Don't forget to keep your promise." Reyhan reminded
"No mas. I will not forget, I will always be there when you leave and go home from work, I will always serve you as well as possible." Said Siti sitting next to Reyhan while holding her hand.
A short time later, the voice of a housekeeper told me that dinner was ready. They went down after the notice.
Siti served Reyhan painstakingly, she prepared everything for her husband's dinner.
"You still work Ti?" Ask Bu Lia
"Still ma. What's up, huh?" Tanya Siti felt that something was stuck with her mother-in-law's question
"It's aja. Don't be tired, mommy wants another baby. Mom was not fat." Said Bu Lia who made Siti a little relieved.
"Yes ma. Hopefully in the same quick love above." Said Siti who was wanted by everyone who was at the dining table.
One year later
Today is the anniversary of Siti and Reyhan for the first time. They celebrate with a romantic dinner at a cafe. They celebrate both, just the two of them.
Entering the age of one year marriage Siti has not shown any signs of pregnancy. Though there is no problem in the fertility of a husband and wife.
Nothing has changed in the past year from Siti. She kept her promise to be a good wife, as Reyhan wished. Siti never refused if Reyhan invites to have sex even though she is tired of being tired, Siti always comes home on time, Siti never leaves the house alone without Reyhan, Siti said, he did it all to make his husband happy. But it seems that Siti's service is not enough for Reyhan.
"Dear." Call Reyhan to Siti while holding her hand
"Yes why?" Tanya Siti looked at her husband's face
"You quit your job. Let's have a momongan." Say Reyhan in a tone as soft and smooth as possible
"Mas thinks I'm not pregnant because I work?" Ask Siti
"I don't want you to be tired. You also heard the words of doctor Sindi some time ago. If you're tired you'll have a hard time getting pregnant."
"Why are you so hard if I tell you to stop working. Please this time, try to stop. If you want to be busy, I'm ready to make you a boutique. Why the hell are you still kekeh want to open a business using your own money? What does it mean we marry? What does this mean to you?" Reyhan said pleading
"Mas whose name is momongan is the sustenance of the almighty. Yes if we have not been loved, it means that God has not given permission, we have not been trusted to take care of children." Siti said she would not lose
Reyhan was already unable to hold back his emotions. He had tried to wait for a year, but Siti did not seem to think about Reyhan's wishes. He only asked Siti to stop working, but always got a rejection from his wife.
"I'm impatient are you? A year I wait, a year Siti. It wasn't a minute. I shouldn't have given you permission to work after marriage." Reyhan said a little loudly.
"You snapped me mas? Just because I'm not pregnant? Because I work so you think I can't get pregnant?" Say Glass-glazed Siti. "Well, I'll stop working today. From tomorrow I'll tell Yurike that I want to resign. Are you satisfied?" Siti said no less loudly.
Reyhan dragged Siti out of the cafe and took her to the car. The emotions of Reyhan who is still in the bushes drove his car as fast as he was tight. Siti felt her body tremble, she was so frightened to see Reyhan being in a state of disdain.
"Mas I beg you to slow down." Pinta Siti's
Reyhan didn't bully him.
"Slowly I said. I'll jump if you don't hear me." Said Siti frightened with a soft voice.
Reyhan who heard Siti's voice instantly reduced the speed of his car. He stopped by the side of the road if he rubbed his face rough.
"You why the hell? I know it's probably all my fault we haven't had a child. But you don't make me like this. Although I don't work, but if you continue to undermine me about heredity, do you think I'm immediately pregnant?" Siti said she was crying. "You changed." Said Siti again then got out of the car and ran.
Reyhan who saw it immediately jumped from the car and chased after Siti. Siti's face was a mess at that time. Seeing that Reyhan felt guilty and tried to apologize
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bully you about the kid. I just want you..."
"Stop work." Cut Siti fast. "Yes, I'm going to quit my job. I'm following your wishes, but please don't remind me of this. You think with me not going pregnant is not a burden for me? Mas load. It's very burdensome to me. Moreover, we live with the parents. So I'm not easy. Even though your family accepts me for who I am, it is still a burden to me if I am not pregnant. You know mas? I got to take fertility drugs for the sake of I immediately got a child. I seem to be strong, not thinking about children, but my heart hurts, my heart is sad I'm not pregnant." Siti said with a sobbing while showing a small bottle containing fertility drugs
Reyhan. All this time what he did to not know what his wife felt. Reyhan thought all this time he had given the best for his wife, but tonight he just realized that the wife who looks always happy as if without burden, he carried the heavy burden alone. He felt useless right then and there, he felt himself very stupid not being able to understand Siti's feelings.
He should be aware, should anything a in-law will remain a burden for the daughter-in-law. There will be things that make him hesitate to express or do something. In fact, he had to hide to do this.
Reyhan brought Siti into his arms. His shoulders shook violently as his head was on Reyhan's chest.
"I'm sorry, baby." Reyhan lirih
