The Thorn in the Family

The Thorn in the Family
Partially Disassembled



The Rose's heart was so sick as it was pierced by a very sharp object hearing the words that were thrown from the husband's mouth. Tears just slid from her cheeks without excuse.


“What's divorce? After what I did for you Mas?”.


“Just you talk, after what happened between us? after I conceived your son so. What human are you demons? why is it so evil to speak even to a woman who has the title of your wife"


"You can say anything about me a rose. I was wrong to make you my wife. That's why I want us to separate. I think parting ways is the best way to this kind of unhealthy relationship"


“Lantas why do you want us to split?”.


“Mas we've come a long way, I'm pregnant and our marriage is legal even if it's only in the eyes of religion. But this kid deserves you"


“I don't want to part Mas, please stop your nonsense. The fate of this child is in a future fight if his parents are incomplete"


Rose shouted back loudly as if to show everyone who was there if she was the legitimate wife of Randi Yulidar the owner of the laundry where they worked.


Bruks....


Fitri who was behind the door dropped a large bag of plastic containing dirty clothes that he wanted to laundry right at Randi's place.


Randi and Rose immediately turned to the source of the voice, both of them quickly headed behind the door and saw who was there.


Randi's heart was agitated, he was really afraid that anyone would find out about this.


“Fitri”. Said Randi with a great roaring chest.


While Fitri was just silent sculpting, he really could not believe what was happening in front of him. Cousins who he thought were the most loyal and kindest men in the family turned out to do so.


“Lantas how about Dance?, does she know about this?”, he said softly by venturing into the eyes of Randi trying to find the truth there. His chest also felt an immeasurable tightness.


“Oh Dance is so unfortunate your fate”. Dari and Fitri have been friends since childhood, even since they were the age of Risma and Arsy both became friends until now.


Fitri smothered her own mouth with both hands still reluctant to believe what she saw and heard.


“This is not what you think Fit is", sizzled Randi trying to give an explanation to his brother.


“Lantas like what? In fact she is pregnant with your child mas”, point to Fitri by extending her hand right in front of the Rose.


“Iya is so right, I am currently pregnant”.


“I am pregnant, pregnant with my son Randi”, he replied with great emphasis and emotional intonation.


“Tega you mas Randi betrayed Tari, what's the lack of Dance all this time?, she loves you so much, she's a good woman and also sholeha”. Now Fitri can no longer stem his crying, he is also hurt by Randi's treatment of his best friend, he said, not without reason guilt also perched in the heart of Fitri because he was the one who introduced Tari to Randi first until the two were married.


“Lack of Dance one she's barren”.


“He cannot give offspring to Mas Randi”, said Roses mocking Fitri.


“Sit's You Rose”. Jerky Randi.


“Why? Let everyone know if Dance is a barren woman”.


“Silence Rose, I said silence no one can insult my wife”.


“Why not? Fact Dance barren woman and can not have children”. Roses say it again with fiery eyes as if to show if he is better than Dance because it can give children to him.


Roses can only cry and get a pretty loud snatch from the husband.


“You two NASTY”. Fitri pointed one by one the look on their faces and left the laundry.

In one of the largest malls in Surabaya Tari is enjoying the beauty of the afternoon streets by holding his son. He smiled warmly when there was a spoiled Risma at the side of his hand. The two headed to Gramedia to buy some school supplies.


Dancing to choose some books for Risma to study at home, Risma has lagged a few steps with her peers to start learning to recognize letters and numbers, as well as numbers, therefore, Tari bought various books for her to study.


Dance also bought some other school supplies such as bags, shoes, pencils and a series of other needs. Both are so busy shopping.


After getting everything needed, the two now set foot into the time zone to play. It's a new experience for both Dari and Risma to play there. Understandably throughout his life Dance lives in shortcomings and never felt this kind of play.


Both of them so enjoy one by one the rides that there ranging from clamping dolls, playing ball also karaoke lightly in the karaoke room. Now Dari feels like a complete woman.


When clamping the doll, several times Dari tried and just failed to fit, he tried repeatedly so curious. Risma who saw it also tried to do the same with Dance. His little fingers began to reach for the button for the clamp, moving slowly to the right and to the left according to the target yang in want and then dropped the clamp slowly.


Quite slow.


And very slowly.


“Finally can”. Shouted both when getting a white and blue Hello Kitty doll with a large enough size.


“Wah anak mother great once”, praise Dance on Risma who is jumping happily.


“Trank you Bun, have invited Risma here. I'm so happy”. The little girl hugged Risma again.


“Now Risma wants what?”.


“I'm hungry Bun want to eat”.


“You eat yes? Alright then lets go we find eat”.


Both went from the timezone to the food cord in the mall, choosing the most comfortable seating area with a beautiful view of the city behind the window.


“Risma want to eat what?’, Risma's small hand flips through the menu book there to choose food.


A few minutes later he shook his head.


“I don't understand eating like this Bun”.


Dance smiled at her son's answer.


“This let the mother choose”.


“Mother, order for dad also yes let dad come here” later.


“Wah right also yes dear, we should just tell dad to come here all later to walk again”.


Vigorously Dance pressed her cell phone contacting her husband.
