What is my fault, sir?

I'm Not Interested

Neng drowned unconscious in the room next to the main room. The left wrist to between fingers blisters due to exposure to hot coffee. While the right hand was injured because of broken glass.

Al just looked at Neng from a distance. The flat eyes made one unable to guess what he was thinking. Occasionally his hands clenched and grimaced with blood still dripping, but he refused to be treated by Aunt Jumi or Aa Jun.

While Aunt Minah who was confused saw Neng unconscious. Repeatedly patted his cheek to quickly wake up, but Neng did not open his eyes.

"Jun you to the pharmacy buy wound medicine for blistered hands, hurry!" al's orders began to worry.

"Good sir."

Junaidi Said took the money given by Alfarizi and ran down the stairs.

"Auntie, take the rubbing oil in the medicine box!" order Al again.

After Aunt Minah exited the room, Al approached Neng, and sat crouched beside the bed, stroking her cheeks. "Sorry Neng, I can't control my emotions, you're the target of my anger."

As Al stroked his cheek, Neng had actually started to regain consciousness, but he deliberately did not open his eyes. Listening to the soft words of Al who spoke to himself while muttering in his heart. "Who exactly made you this angry, sir?"

Al examined Neng's injured arm, shoulder and hand. Even bruises on the elbow are starting to dry out. "Aaargh why is this so?" moan Al while shuffling his hair.

Neng kept trying not to move even though Al's screams left him shocked. Stomach pain due to hunger, skin felt a lot of needles stuck in his arms and waist but Neng was reluctant to open his eyes.

When Aunt Minah came with the medicine box. There was a cellphone ringing sound in Al's pants pocket, so he stood up to pick up and lift his phone

"Hello, what's wrong?"

" ... ... "

"B*d*oh, can't you handle it?"

" ... ... ?"

"Wait for me to go there!"

Al's emotions begin to peak again after getting the phone, rushing him out of the room occupied by Neng and Aunt Minah are also there. Fear of being the target of their anger. Entering his own room even though there are broken glass scattered still he was desperate to change clothes.

"Auntie, I'm going back to Jakarta, after my room is cleaned move my wife to the main room again, tomorrow I'll be here again!"

"Okay sir" Aunt Minah replied briefly.

Al approached Neng who was still closing his eyes, even though he was conscious from earlier. Still reluctant to interact directly with him. Al just stroked his cheeks and hair. "I'll go first, you just rest!"

"Aunt me go first."

"Yes, be careful."

After Al came out of the room, Neng opened his eyes. The pain in his body is nothing compared to the pain in his heart because he is only targeted by anger from people who do not know who.

"Miss, let's have a drink first," said Aunt Minah helping Neng to sit down and give her a glass of water.

"Thank you Auntie."

"I'll get you a meal first Miss, while waiting for the wound medicine that Aa Jun bought."

Neng just nodded, daydreamed again and remembered her husband who always vent his anger just like Asep's father when he was angry. Since childhood Neng often watched when Asep's father was riding apitam will make the goods around him become a target.

Once when Neng was just sitting in the sixth grade of Elementary School, when he came home from school he did not go straight home because he met his mother on the street. Eventually Neng joined the mother going to the market to buy a dozen dishes, but after reaching Asep's father's house was angry by slamming a dozen dishes that the mother bought.

"Thank you Auntie, here I'll eat alone."

Neng ate voraciously but while sobbing and shedding tears. I was very excited to leave the villa. The stick yesterday was getting shaky after experiencing the torment of both birth and mind.

Aa Jun came from the pharmacy carrying a wound medicine to apply on the hands affected by hot coffee. Take medication to reduce pain due to bruising in the legs. Provide medicine for wounds that are in the arm due to broken glass.

"Miss, it's a topical medication and an anti-pain drug." Aa Jun placed the medicine on the dressing table.

"Thank you Aa."

"Are you okay, Miss; sorry I couldn't protect you who I already considered my own sister?"

"Aa Jun, I'm fine, didn't Aa say yesterday that I should be patient and stoic, it's by buying me the medicine that Aa's sign protects and takes care of me."

"What really happened yesterday, Miss?" ask Aa Jun.

"I don't know either, Aa; clearly Mr. Al is facing a very severe problem,"

"Does Miss know Mr Al's family background?"

"No Aa, I'm not interested in knowing that, I'm just going to run this marriage until the end of the agreement."

"Do you want me to tell you about him, because I just read about Mr Al on social media?"

"No need Aa, I intentionally don't want to know at all."

"Well Miss, it's up to you, the most important thing is you have to be patient, if this marriage agreement is completed, I'll help you to reach your goals again.

Neng smiled, feeling comforted because in her slump, there were still good people supporting her.

The next day Al arrived at lunch. Neng who was cooking in the kitchen was shocked when Al came to her in the kitchen. "Neng did you in the kitchen, I was billang yesterday, you just rest!"

"I'm fine Sir, I'm tired of always being in the room."

Al had not yet returned to scold Neng. Aunty Minah came from outside with two plastic groceries from the supermarket.

"Miss, here's the sanitary pad order you requested."

Al immediately frowned hearing Aunt Minah's words while looking at Neng who was checking her order groceries.

"Thank you Auntie."

"Your aunt continues cooking, Neng, come with me!" al's orders went straight upstairs.

"Okay sir." replied Aunt Minah briefly.

Neng immediately walked after Al to go upstairs and into their room. Even though the palm of his left hand on the cover of Neng's bandage still helps Al to open his suit and shirt, remove shoes and socks as well.

Neng was still reluctant to talk to her husband, but she kept doing the task that was supposed to be her duty. After putting dirty shoes and clothes in place. Neng prepared a change of clothes and took a glass of water and handed it to her husband.

But instead of receiving a glass of water that was thrust for him Al immediately ordered to open his clothes, "Neng, take off your clothes!" al's command broke the silence between them.

Neng gasped in shock when Al had heard that Aunt Minah had hinted if she bought a sanitary pad, meaning she could not serve her husband.

"But Sir, I'm ...!" neng said beginning to be frightened at the thought of what would happen.
