Thorny Love

*Bab 24

Rama gets home. He got out of the car to see what was going on with his two wives.

"Mas Rama."

Only then did Rama set foot into the house. His steps had to be restrained by the voice of Laila calling his name.

Rama looked to the side, where Laila's voice came from. There, Laila was walking fast towards Rama. With a messy appearance and tears flowing profusely, Laila immediately poured into Rama's arms.

"California. You why? Why is your hair messy like this? Your clothes are why Laila? Why is it ripped like this?" rama asked in a panic.

"It's my fault. It's my fault that I don't want to leave you."

"What do you mean, Laila? Don't tell me it was Zia" said Rama with a red face.

"Mas, I can't explain it to you. But you can see for yourself what Zia did. I can't be treated like this, Mom. I have a heart too. Zia's mother killed my son, now, she wants to kill me too."

"Ziana's Path. He can't do this. Although we are guilty, but this treatment is very outrageous. This has gone far beyond the limit" said Rama annoyed.

"Now, where is Ziana. I want to talk to him."

"He's inside, Mas."

"Yes, you come with me. I'll talk to Ziana."

"But, mas. I was afraid," said Laila feigned fear even though her heart was very happy now.

"It has. You don't have to be afraid because there is me. I won't let Ziana hurt you again."

"Yes already."

Laila followed Rama's steps from behind. His heart is very happy. With a smile, he recalled what he did shortly after he contacted Rama.

Laila walked towards the side of the house. He ruffled his own hair. He made it seem, his hair had just been ruffled by Zia. Not only that, to increase Rama's confidence, he also tore his clothes. He did so that it seemed that he had really been tortured by Ziana.

They go inside and find Zia sitting sweetly on the sofa of the living room while enjoying a glass of her favorite capuccino.

"Zia! I want to talk!" rama said in a high tone.

Ziana smiled. He was no longer surprised even though Rama snapped at him. Even though the pain in the heart remains. But, he tried his hardest to keep hold and did not show Rama or Laila.

"Eh, Rama. What's up, Mas? What do you want to talk about?" asked Zia trying as casually as possible.

"Heh, you said I changed Rama? Did I hear that wrong, Mom? Am I changing or are you changing here?"

"Zia, actually I don't want us to fight. But you've hurt Laila again and again. Not enough for you, huh! You made her lose her son. Now, you make him like this" Rama said, showing Laila to Zia.

"Wuah, it seems, your serial wife is an amazing actress. He's very good at playing his part."

"It's outrageous that you mbak. You accuse me of playing in front of Mas Rama. I know who I am, ma'am. I know I was wrong to be present at your wedding as a third person. But I'm human too, ma'am. Have a heart that certainly feels hurt," said Laila with tears coloring her every speech.

"Uh, I am so sorry for the hurt you feel. Hopefully, you feel more heartache again and again. I'm happy for the consciousness you have. You're the third person who knows yourself as it turns out," said Zia in a high tone.

"Zia enough! You have no more feelings. You saw what you did. Is there not the slightest guilt when you see her whom you have persecuted like this."

"Mas Rama, what kind of feeling do you want me to have? Is like him too. Who comes and performs in front of you?" zia asked more and more hurt but she tried to stay strong.

"One thing you should know, ma'am. I never mistreated your serial wife. He wronged himself" said Zia again.

"I just found out who you are Zia. You are really stubborn and cruel. I want you to apologize to Laila right now."

"What! Apologizing? It won't! You don't dream that I'm going to do it" said Zia.

"Orianna!"

"Mas, already. Don't snap Zia. I was wrong. I came to this house without Zia's consent. I'm the one who doesn't know myself" said Laila as she looked at Rama with sadness.

"No Laila. You came at your request. You're not wrong. The wrong one .... "

"Who's wrong? Me? Or you, Mas?" tanya Zia cut quickly the words of Rama.

"Ziana, you're getting brazen now. It is getting out of control again. Immediately apologize to Laila, or .... "

"Or what? Hem ... want to divorce me? Yes please. Because that's what I've been waiting for" Ziana said steadily.

Rama remained silent. His eyes were staring at Zia. From the deepest recesses of his heart, he very much did not want this quarrel to happen. Don't fight, just disagree he doesn't want to.

'Zi, don't you have the slightest taste now. I can't believe you've really changed. I miss the old you. That is always warm and gentle, Rama said in his heart.

'I'm sorry, I'm an ungodly wife now. Rather than me getting sinful with you, perhaps, the best way is, we just split up. Especially now, between the two of us, there is a third person. I'm not strong enough anymore to hold on, ' Zia said inwardly.

Seeing Zia and Rama who were silent with eyes looking at each other. Laila was very upset. He did not want Rama and Zia to remember that before they were people who loved each other. Laila thought hard in order to create a chaotic atmosphere again.
