Two Rings

Give Time

Dion invites Rissa to go into the room, not realizing that his wife is grimacing because her hands are too hard.

"Mas, sick..."

Dion stopped his steps, taking off his grasp quickly.

He looked at Rissa's wrists flushed red, there was a sense of guilt in his heart.

"I was panicking and confused to find Melati where else, but you were alone with another man!" Dion exclaims to Rissa.

"Mas, I didn't mean it that way. I'm also worried about Melati..."

"Worry? You can go home by public transport, why accept Doctor Radit's invitation to take you home?" Asked Dion in annoyance.

Rissa looked down, "i'm sorry, Mas..."

"Now I don't know where Melati is, and it's because you can't prevent her from consulting! I'm disappointed in you, Sa."

Rissa felt more guilty, she also cried because it had made Dion disappointed in her.

"I'm sorry, Mas..."

"I'm sorry I can't get everything back to being okay, Sa. I just want Melati to come back home okay," Dion said without looking at his wife.

"I promise you I'll find Madam Melati, I won't be home before I find Ms. Melati." Rissa said it really.

Dion turned his back on Rissa, he had no intention of prolonging his troubles with Rissa.

"Whatever you want to do. I just want Melati back. And one more thing, don't ever cry in front of me!"

Dion exclaimed as he passed away leaving his second wife.

Dion left his house again, he still wanted to find his wife who was somewhere.

Likewise with Rissa, he also went back to look for the honey. Even he missed his meal, Rissa could not calm down if she did not know the news.

Dion searched every corner of the street, his memory now fixed on the child's grave.

Dion rushed to the public cemetery, where his son was buried.

He really hopes to meet Melati there, he does not want anything to happen to his wife.

While Rissa he did not know where to find Melati, he walked down the streets without a definite direction.

***

Elsewhere, Melati has just returned from the child's diet, her intention now wants to go home to her parents.

Intentionally Melati did not inform her Mother or Father, she did not want to make both of them worried.

She did not think about her husband at all, her disappointment was so great to Dion.

A few minutes later, Dion arrived at the funeral.

He circulated his gaze, hoping to find the figure he was looking for. But his search was fruitless, he did not find Melati there.

"Oh my God, where should I look for you, Mel." Dion looked frustrated.

It was almost evening, and Dion still had not found his wife. He did not think of contacting his mother or his father-in-law, he intended to hide his problems from them.

Dion decided to return home, his body was also tired.

While Melati, just arrived at her parents' residence. With puffy eyes, he ventured to knock on the door of his childhood home.

Melati's mother was surprised to see her son coming alone, "Mel, why didn't you tell me to come here?" Ask Mom Melati.

Melati hugged her mother, she was crying so much. Melati's mother seemed confused, she did not know what happened to her son.

"Mel, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Ask Melati's mother again.

Melati still did not answer, her crying still sounded bitter.

Melati's mother invites her son to enter the house, and intends to calm him first.

"Loh Mel, you're here. Where's your husband?" Ask Melati's father when he saw his wife holding his son who was sobbing.

"You cry? Why, Son?" Ask Melati's father worriedly.

"Mel, relax. Try to talk slowly with Mom, what exactly happened?"

Melati wiped her tears, she started to open her voice about what she was going through.

"Mom, Mas Dion's been lying to me all this time..."

Melati's mother and father exchanged glances, "lying what do you mean?" Ask Dad Melati.

"real... I can't have any more children, Mom. I'm not going to get pregnant again" Melati said. The crying broke again.

Melati's mother was stunned, she could only let her son vent his disappointment by crying.

"You... Know where that came from, Mel?" Ask Dad Melati.

"I... I checked in this morning with my doctor acquaintance, and he told me I didn't have a uterus. And the evil again Mas Dion apparently knows about this," said Melati while still reluctant.

Melati's mother clasped her son's shoulder, she looked at Melati guiltily.

"I'm sorry, Mel..."

Melati fell silent, "ma-you mean Mom? Why are you apologizing?" Melati asked, looking confused.

Melati's mother glanced at her husband, then looked back at the child.

"Actually... We also know about your condition," said Ms. Melati softly.

Melati was surprised, again she had to hear things that made her disappointed again.

"Mom lied to me, right? What's all this mean?" Ask Melati.

Melati's mother began to explain everything from the beginning, telling her what happened when Melati gave birth to her child.

Melati did not suspect with what she heard, she had really been lied to by everyone.

"So Mom and Dad know, does my mother-in-law know about this, too? So you've been covering this up from me all this time?"

"But everyone is bad to me..."

Melati moved from her place, she ran towards the room she used to occupy. Melati locked the door of her room, she was really very disappointed in everyone who had worked together to cover this up from her.

"Mel, open the door, son. Mom and Dad are sorry... I only thought about your condition back then."

Melati's mother continues to try to explain to her son, she also feels guilty for making Melati slumped like now.

"Well, how's this? I'm worried about Melati" said Ms. Melati to her husband.

"Already, Mom. Let Melati alone first, let her calm herself down," Melati's father advised.

Melati's mother, according to her, gave time for her son to calm down. Meanwhile, Melati's father intends to contact Dion, informing her that Melati is in their home.

Dion stopped his car, hearing a voice coming from his phone.

"Dad? Tumben called me," muttered Dion.

"Hello, assalamu'allaikum, Dad?"

Dion answered his phone call.

"Wa'allaikummussalam. Yon, I just want to let you know that Melati is now at Mom and Dad's house." Father Melati said.

"Alhamdulillah, thank goodness. Then I'll be there now, Dad."

"Don't, Yon. Let Melati alone first, Father and Mother already know what your problems are. Later if Melati improves, I'll let you know" said Melati's father.

Dion sighed, nor did he mind giving his wife time.

"Well then, Dion tipped Melati, Dad."

"Sure, I hung up on you."

"Yes, Dad."

Dion ended his conversation with the in-laws, although a little disappointed because he could not meet his wife, at least Dion kinu felt more relieved, he also intended to return home.
