We, Without Me

The Pain Complaint

The annoyance and laughter that had accompanied Yuki for a second then vanished. A few moments after his stomach filled a piece of bread immediately churned up soreness, pain and nausea. Resisting the slightly bitter sour taste at the base of the tongue, Yuki forcibly swallowed his saliva.

It occurred to me whether the bread might expire, but the faint black row of numbers and the still soft texture of the bread simply explained that the bread was only 2 days ago marketed.

“Udah yuk to class, briefly again start.” Ara's voice disperse Yuki's focus on the unpleasant sensation within her mouth cavity.

“You guys first, I'm going to the toilet.” Yuki said as she scooped her bag in a hurry, clenching tightly while smothering the lips that were deliberately folded in. It felt like something was breaking out of his throat.

“You're okay, right?” Ask Ara worried.

“But good, hoek.” Yuki replied quickly without looking back, enduring the intense nausea. No longer able to mengubris Dimas speech that is still heard in his ear about ‘anak pre-order’.

Brakes.

Running with all her might, Yuki pushed the toilet door rough to the point of impact, sounding loudly and startling someone who was secretly making impromptu deposits behind a locked room.

Hoick.. Hoick..

“Pahit.” Yuki groaned, staring at the clear liquid coming out of his mouth mixed with lumps of bread that did not chew perfectly.

“Sick this stomach. Kapok to eat late, no longer just.” Yuki said as she shook her head slowly, gargling with flowing tap water accompanied by rubbing her lips with wet hands.

“Kangen home. Kangen Bibi's cooking. I wanted my own room. Hix.. Hiks.” Yuki's body slid to the floor in a crouching position, sinking her face over her folded hands.

Whatever he looks like, it's all just camouflage. There was a low point that only Yuki knew about alone. He did not want to share a story that only eroded his stubbornness.

Yuki used to think being forced to live alone since wearing a white-gray uniform was the hardest time of her life. But now Yuki better choose to live alone without the intervention of his parents. He seemed to be entrusted to the wrong person, even though Papa Leigh and Mama Agni loved him like their own children.

Either what the household of a forced relationship will be like if it has to live apart from its in-laws, even sleeping in the same room they are like strangers. The heated debate and resistance with each other that peppered their relationship was really unhealthy.

...----------------...

“You sick?”

“Hm.” Dehem Yuki was brief, laying down his body sideways with the bag lying originally under the bed.

Yuki has been sick for almost a week and only today did her husband realize it. It might also be because the previous days Yuki did not look as pale as today.

“Medicine?”

“But.” Yuki replied weakly with her eyes closed.

“Prepared, we go to the Doctor!” The commanding words Yuki ignored, his ears did hear, but his body was too weak to respond.

"Don't sleep, we're leaving now!"

“Necessary. I'm going to sleep after this.” Rejecting Yuki softly, his head throbbed and his body seemed to be rotated into the air.

“Do not argue!” A high voice jolted Yuki's barely-floating consciousness.

“Huuh.!” Exhaling heavily, Yuki's lips trembled weakly. He forced his eyes open with a glare. “My head is dizzy enough, can you shut up and do not disturb me!?”

“Ck! Lama!”

A powerful pull made Yuki's lying body flinch. The pulsation that had subsided was now increasingly becoming angry at the body that suddenly sat.

“Lep-.” Not yet finished Yuki's complaint, a strong pull again forced Yuki to move from his seat.

“HEH!! FREELAN!!” Yuki's screams out with all her might, shaking off the grip on her wrist that was more worthy of being called a starving vulture's grip.

“Shut!!” One word of cold spoken command from a flat face and a sharpened eye highlight. Forcibly pulled Yuki with her wide steps out of the room.

“Detach..!! Pain!!” Yuki complained weakly while occasionally closing her eyes. Down the stairs rely on instinct and surrender if he will fall toppled.

“Sorry.” Yuki stared at the figure that was beginning to relax his grasp. Although her gaze was clouded, Yuki could see the regretful gaze implied from the eyeballs looking softly at her.

And what was he saying, ‘maaf’? Yuki felt a plot of pain in her head and stomach begin to make her hallucinate. How could the arrogant man who trapped her in a crazy marriage have compassion and would say sorry, Yuki thought.

“Mas..!! Why did you pull your wife like that!?” Mama Agni's shout echoed on the ground floor, tracing her waist glared fiercely at the newly married couple minted 7 derivatives of stairs.

“He is sick Ma, but stubborn do not want to be checked to Doctor.” Her fight is with Mama Agni.

“Can you carry it or persuade it well!?” Mama Agni said, she was worried that her son and daughter-in-law had fallen in a war of attraction that seemed to heat up. It could be bad if there are prospective grandchildren who are entrusted in the womb of Yuki, so thought Mama Agni.

“Udah, Mom. He's the one who keeps arguing.” Complaining again, while Yuki was only able to fall silent, fluttering through the pain that made his body weaker.

“Yuki, look after your husband. It hurts bad, son. Didn't Mama also tell you not to rest for college first today? I've been a few days you're limp no appetite.” Mama Agni said gently, rubbing Yuki's back head lovingly.

Clearly, Mama Agni's statement surprised one figure who just realized that he was not good at being a husband. He is too indifferent and feels Yuki is fine as he can still argue in any of their debates.

“But Yuki wants to sleep, Ma. Ordinary exhaustion. Simply take the same headache medicine rest also healed.” Yuki's whine is spoiled, usually when he is sick there is only Aunt the assistant of the house who was assigned by the mother to take care of him.

It will also happen if Yuki asks the Aunt to accompany him or if Yuki has time to tell her Mama who lives outside the City to follow the Papa on duty. Understandably Aunt assistant does not work 24 hours per 7 days or only come from morning until late afternoon. Moreover, there are families and small children in their own homes that must be taken care of.

In addition, Yuki is quite grateful that there is always Dimas and Ara who always support him. Sometimes the two friends have secretly helped Yuki to do college work because he was sick.

“Udah take it, Mas. Maybe there's been a sign of Mama's grandson on the way so Yuki's limp.”

“No way, Ma.. Kit-.” The speech stopped from the lips that folded in. Mengulum close to her lips that almost fell flat, she found Yuki glancing cynically through the eyes that narrowed my eyes.

“Yes who knows maybe, you married almost 4 weeks. May you be effective and mantle rituals that you practice Mas.” Mama Agni said expectantly, she could not wait for the arrival of baby cries.

In addition, there is an ego that Mama Agni wants to show the neighbors that her son is not a businessman. His son married on the basis of love to present the baby in the middle of his household. Even a girl who is married aka Yuki is 8 years younger than the 'wife of people' who is touted as a woman whose son approaches.

“YUKII..!!!????” The screams of both Mother and child simultaneously, scooped up Yuki who suddenly lost her consciousness. Falling in her husband's arms for the second time after a fucking trap.
