Chapter 54: The Hurt
"I never laugh when fate is joking." - Luna-Luna.
The goddess stared at the invitation card Hendra had returned. His eyes looked at the sheet of paper. He loved a Daniel so much that he gave his all. But what the man did was the opposite. He even gave a wound, which was deep.
He laughed bitterly as if fate was teasing him. It's worse than it looks. He forced someone to marry him just to cover up his shame on all who were staring at him and his family. This is the worst day among the worst. A moment he will never forget in his entire life. A grudge that will not disappear from his heart.
Hendra looked at the dazed Goddess, asking without a word. As if resigned to whatever happened after this, the woman released the hand of Hendra who had previously held. It seemed to give the man a chance to choose, if he did not agree with his plan. Hendra realized that this one thing would overturn his life, and break the hearts of his parents. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes in silence.
What he should do....
"All right..." Hendra let out a long breath after that. She did love the Goddess, maybe this was indeed God's path for her so that she could have that woman in her life.
Somehow but as if everything goes with that surf. There was not a single obstacle during the event. Perhaps this is what is called the saying, the best man plans God is the one who determines.
In a blink of an eye things drastically changed between the relationship between Hendra and the Goddess. Hendra loves the Goddess so much. While Dewi tries wholeheartedly to love the man who has now become her husband. But one thing is certain, the pain that has settled in the heart of the Goddess is never lost, but rather moved to the baby in the womb.
The goddess repeatedly tried to abort her womb. He was ashamed of Hendra. She had tried, but her heart was never open to her husband. Their married life feels bland to the Goddess. All because of the little bully who always made her remember the tragedy. He wanted to eliminate it and open a new leaf. But Hendra clearly disagreed. Hendra always reminded that a life is very meaningful. The boy deserves to be loved. Mistakes are not on him.
Until the time Luna was born, Dewi still refused the presence of the beautiful baby. Luna's face always reminded her of the pain she had experienced. Unfortunately, Hendra liked the baby so much. He loved her so much that he gave his own name to Luna. Wishing a happy life that will await him.

Alex carried a tray containing drinks and a few glasses. Kris helped. They walked to the living room where they had gathered.
Put the glasses one by one, making a small knock several times on the surface of the antique table wood brown. Alex sat back down and observed the situation of the people around him who were now increasingly silent. He wondered, have they now entered the stage of the problem?
"I think the relationship between your families is clear..." El ended his introductory stage.
"Now let's discuss what just happened." Alex was speechless, feeling soon to be his part to bear witness.
"Actually something bad happened in this house. With regard to Mr. Daniel and the Mother Goddess..." I'm surprised not to play. He did not want to believe it, rather refused to believe it.
El gives his phone to Dad and lets the man watch and then judges it himself.
"So how can you explain this?" Hendra looked at his disappointed wife. It's true that their marriage wasn't intentional, but did after all these years, that sense of never existed?
The Hurt
There is a sense of invisible eyes
The strand makes the body and soul tormented
In a heart there is always hope
Waiting to be real
Like a climber looking for a source of water in the wilderness
Thirsty thirst that I think will disappear after meeting him
I know I'm stupid, but it's too beautiful to let go
Inspired by a clearly false virtual appeal, I did not mind
Let everyone blaspheme because I still feel
Laugh as much as you guys I don't care
The relentless flogging will not make me die
My breath is your existence
I want to be the one who gets hurt
It's also okay to be the wronged one
As long as you stay on the side
Hendra let out a long breath. He no longer knows what to do. He supported his heavy head with both hands, trying to calm his mind.
"I'm sorry..." Only those two words could be spoken by the Goddess. He looked down deeply, trying to hide his face in embarrassment.
"So what do you want?" Hendra asked in a raucous voice. His chest seemed to be squeezed by a large stone inscribed with sadness.
"A.I.I..." The tongue of the Goddess is very funny. Not a single word could come out of his mouth. Everything he wanted to say felt untrue. It looks like an excuse.
"Well...." El who held Luna's hand, grasped her tighter, giving a sign that Luna should not talk first. El pulls Luna's body closer towards him, trying to give her comfort there. Luna was silent in the arms of El who stroked her head slowly.
"I...." The goddess glanced at Daniel and Hendra alternately. Daniel was clearly his first love, the most beautiful of the most beautiful dreams he could ever imagine. But it was also the person who gave him the deepest wound. While Hendra, he was a gentle-hearted angel who was always there for him. Always trust him and accept himself as he is, no matter how bad it is.
"I'll let you go, if you want to..." Hendra continued his words while smiling softly. He gave up and he was tired. If that was what the goddess wanted, she would give it to her. The woman is happy, because maybe she is just a man who can not give a sense.
While Daniel, smiling obliquely. Alex is aware of that, and he doesn't like it. His father was brengs*k. A lowly man whom even he was ashamed to admit as a parent.
"Don't get divorced or you'll regret it..." Alex can't take it anymore. Now or not at all.
Luna felt she was in the middle of trouble. Because of him and his presence, all this happened. If only he did not exist, maybe the situation is better for Mother. Now he just understands why Mother always behaves like that to him. It was a mistake. The real evidence of a past disgrace that cannot be eliminated. Real and alive. Every moment hurts Mother even if she just breathes. Luna returned El's embrace, laying her head against the boy's chest. Closing his eyes, trying to hold back the tears and guilt that had filled every part of his heart.
"My dad's not a good guy" Alex sneers. "He's still bej*t till now. Don't believe anything promised by him..."
El smiled faintly at the words of Luna's step-sister. Compared to Arga, he likes Alex more. The man was brave and honest. What he said was what was in his heart. No need to wear a mask, because for Alex his life is his. He would continue to step on the path he had chosen, without hesitation without any intention of turning his head or turning around.
"He had many girlfriends and mistresses. Aunty will not be strong. Even my mom did that. He died in grief. I don't want to see the same thing..." Daniel wants to shut his son's mouth. But it was impossible for him to do, as a result he could only stare sharply at the corner of his eye. While thinking what things he could do to avenge that brat.
Alex has clearly been against it ever since Carla. The more brutal and unruly the day. Daniel was bored to take care of him who was always looking for trouble. But with family reasons, he did not want his image to be tarnished. Always solves any problems created by Alex until he is fed up. It happened when Alex's mother died. Alex leaves the house with all his mother's inheritance. Yeah, the rich one here is Mama Alex. Daniel accidentally dumps the Goddess and chooses Rachel. Rachel is the son of a wealthy businessman. He wants to use Rachel's money to make himself a star. But what you plant is what you sow. Whatever amount of money has been poured into making it successful, as if it were never enough. Daniel's career stopped and just disappeared without ever making any history in the music world. After that, he was forced to enter into the company, doing whatever he was told for his position and welfare.
The goddess was surprised by Alex's honest remark. He knows that Daniel is a playboy. And all this time it hasn't changed?
"Don't believe him, he hates me..." Alex sniffed at Daniel's words. Right, his mind. The only female villain in this room is her papa. Okay, if Alex is considered a female villain too, but at least he admits it instead of even stating a lie that looks like this.
"Yes, I hate you. You killed my mom slowly. Sometimes I want to torture you to death. But I didn't do it because my mom always loved you. I'll let God avenge everything later..."
Daniel was silent at Alex's reply. Shit, mind. This kid is a bitch. Though only a little more he got the heart of the Goddess, but this chaotic boy came and destroyed everything. Daniel wants to have the Goddess once again. He could see the woman was still as beautiful as before, leaving her spellbound for the second time in her life. However, the Goddess still had a husband. It was Daniel who had no brain, but he was increasingly challenged to obtain the Goddess, seizing the woman from her rightful husband. It's gonna be fun.
"I'm up to it..." Arga opened his mouth even though no one asked for his opinion. "I'll vote with Dad but..." He shrugged his shoulders no matter what. Adult problems always make him dizzy.
The goddess looked confused. It was purely his fault. He was lulled in Daniel's seduction. Daniel made her feel the euphoria of youth. Pull her back to the past by giving her happiness in romance. Something he had been craving all this time.
Now Arka and Arsya are starting to move uneasily. They looked at each other, seemed to want to speak and follow in the footsteps of his eldest brother. For them Arga is not only a big brother, but also their role model. Wherever he goes, he will be with him.
"I went with brother Arga." said Arka at last. He looked pityfully at the Goddess for a moment after saying so, making the woman tremble.
"I also went with brother Arga..." Arsya added. "Follow with Luna's sister I'm okay..."
Arka stared lazily at Arsya. This amazing boy was sometimes too honest and could not judge the situation that was going on. He pinned Arsya's head until the younger brother grimaced and cursed without a sound.
"Here we go, we get divorced..." Dad finally said the talaq. The heart of the Goddess slammed hearing it. He wanted to protest but he could not do it.
"We'll talk about the process later..." Hendra got up from his seat to leave.
Steps ceased. He turned and his eyes looked at the wife he had always loved. "It turns out living with me all this time never changed your heart, huh..." His words were directed at the wife, making Dewi shriek and stared back guiltily. "May you be happy with the man you love..."
Alex clapping, cheering. "Wow... Welcome to hell." praise Alex. "May you be at home." he said with a slanted smile.
Hendra stepped away, followed by Arga, Arka and Arsya behind him. "Dad..." El suddenly held him. "Wait a minute..." Hendra looked reluctant, but he finally nodded.
El returned to his seat. "Thank you for your time. Since everything is clear, I say goodbye..." He gave Kris a code to join the leg, leaving the lovebirds.
"And you..." El pulls Alex's arm. "Let's come with me for a minute..." Alex rolled his eyes. Why try this guy, he's lazy.
"Sister-in-law, don't bother me... I was busy." he said after they walked away from the room.
"What are you busy with?" El asked in annoyance.
"Take my shirt for an update..."
"You got a boyfriend?" El was a little surprised, but since Alex was looking at him annoyed she did not ask him further.
"Okay, all right, just take it. I'm waiting outside." El pointed towards the exit, gesturing that he was waiting for her. Alex answered with a nod.
As El was about to step out, he remembered Luna. He returned to the sofa and saw the girl comforting her downcast mother while holding back sobs. El sniffed. This girl was the person the Goddess hated the most during her life, and look at it now, only a Luna was willing to remain beside her.
"Luna, let's go home..." El unhesitatingly grabbed the girl's hand, taking her away. Luna still wanted to comfort her mother. He tried to persuade El in a stare, which unfortunately failed.
"Greetings..." El ketus. Luna breathed. He obeyed El and said goodbye to papa and mother. He could not leave that woman. After all, Mother is the one who gave her life. He was so grateful for that.
At least he can do this. Luna pulled her hand from El, she approached her mother for a moment then whispered softly. "Luna dear Mother..."
