THE WOMAN ON MY WEDDING DAY

PART 9 A DEAL

Asha knocked on the door of Laras' room, the door opened immediately and the smiling face of Laras greeted her.

"I just got home from shopping at the supermarket, I bought this..." Asha offers a large plastic containing city milk for pregnant women and several kinds of biscuits and fruits.

"Oh, thank you, ma'am.sorry if I'm troublesome." Baras welcomed the grocery bag with a sumringah face.

"Can I come in?" Asha asked, who greeted Laras's nod of the head and gave way for Asha to enter.

The room was not very big, just a bed size number two, a wardrobe, a table and a dressing chair. Next to it is the bathroom door.

"Sorry a little messy, madam. It seemed like the nausea had recurred again so I just lay down more. It seems more comfortable to lie down."

"It's okay, just rest." Sahut Asha then pulled the chair to sit, while the barrel dudk on the edge of his bed.

"I actually want to talk to you." Asha sighed for a moment.

"Yes..." Laras face lifted staring at Asha, her slightly round face looked chubby. Maybe because of her pregnancy, which has entered the second trimester. His stomach looks bigger.

"Wheel..." Asha stared intently at the woman who was now unblinking looking at her.

"Do you know why I allowed your marriage to Ivory mas?" ask Asha carefully.

Laras was silent for a moment, then his head shook slowly, showing little doubt.

"As a woman, I never really forgave what happened between you and Ivory. No woman can truly accept another woman as her honey, no woman can resist jealousy if faced with polygamy even though her lips may say it's okay, his heart still cries..." Asha sighed once more, it seemed so heavy she said it.

Barrel opened his eyes, still trying to hear.

"I only want to save the child in your womb, so that he can live with honor, however he has no sin. That's why it was with a tight heart that when you came to me that I married you to the man who had become my husband." Asha tidied up her skirt, letting Laras remain silent looking at her with a strange look and froze.

"Have you ever been touched by Ivory mas, after our wedding a few months ago?" Asha asked suddenly, slowly but stinging to the heart.

Baras pecked, he bit his own lips but he did not need to answer Asha, because anyone knew the tusks never came to him let alone talk to him. Bahkn in-laws and his sister-in-law have all treated him badly.

The only person who is being nice in this house is only Asha.

Once a month Asha would drive her to the clinic to check her womb.

Asha is the one who buys all her needs.

So ironic that their lives as two women who share a husband, Asha's treatment of Laras as her honey is extraordinary. There may not be many women in the world who are so good as her.

And as a rejected person, not many women who are as strong as the barrel face the treatment of in-laws and in-laws who sometimes treat him like a stranger even like a maid.

"Mak Asha need not ask, but Asha knows more about it." Reply Laras with an awkward tone.

"I know." Finally Laras said, his voice sounded flat, as if what they were talking about was not a big thing for him.

Asha's eyes blinked for a moment hearing Laras' words.

"I know how I am, madam. In this house I am nobody. I'm just a woman who got lost in someone else's house just because of my bad luck. Gaining honorable status as the wife of Ivory sir alone, I am already very grateful, because in that way for a moment I can hide my disgrace."The barrel holds its stomach which looks slightly protruding from behind its loose negligee.

Asha was silent on top of her chair, only this time she really took the time to talk at length about their relationship and Laras responded to it with long sentences.

During this time, Laras was more silent and obedient with him without many complaints.

"Without needing me to say it, I was such a lucky person to have the mercy of Asha's mother. If you ask that to find out about my feelings for the ivory pack, then Asha need not worry, the one-night romance cannot necessarily make us fall in love with each other. Let's just say that night I was unlucky, and I had to bear that bad luck..." Baras chuckled, his laughter sounding crisp.

"Now Asha's mother can just talk to me directly about Asha's intentions, no need to be awkward. I've assumed Asha's mother is my sister here, the only person who still thinks of me as a human being." That sentence sounded bitter in Asha's ears.

"Laras, I know that as a husband, Ivory mas did not do his duty to you properly, but seeing his background no one can force him to do it. I don't know if your marriage and this Ivory mas is the right decision or is it really just trapping you in a falsehood. But my real intention was to save a situation that suddenly deteriorated at an inopportune moment. I talked about this with the Ivory mas, he agreed to remain a husband to you until your baby was born." Asha said it with a straightforward intonation.

"Mas Gading is willing to divorce you, after you're in labor. And..." Asha soaked her suddenly dry throat with her own saliva.

"And..." Laras' eyes did not blink, fixated on Asha's suddenly indecisive face.

"And I'm willing to take care of your son after you've been divorced by the Ivory mas." Asha then continued.

Barrels stuck, mute. His mouth opened slightly but then clenched again.

"I will take care of her and raise her like my own son." The sentence sounded so resolute as if it wanted to throw away all of Laras' doubts.

For a while they both kept quiet and looked at each other. Laras shakily touched his own stomach, lowered his head for a moment then raised his face.

"I, too, may not want this child. I even tried to throw it out. Nothing matters to him, I'll do it if Asha wants it." Barrel bit his lips, the eyes were round suppressing his feelings which he kept silently in his heart.

"I think we've agreed on this. Thanks for understanding." Asha said it with relief, while Laras lowered his face, no longer speaking.
