One Month Passed
Arga was sitting in a cafe sipping coffee. Today he had an appointment to meet his friend at the cafe. Unexpectedly, his net saw someone he knew very well. He walked by clutching the arm of an aged man.
"Trainer!" he said in his heart. Then he hurried to follow in his wife's footsteps. He had to cancel an appointment with his friend.
Arga moved from his seat to follow Ratih. It seemed like they had spent a lot of shopping, Arga could see the groceries that Ratih had brought.
Until in the parking area, they still spread intimacy. Arga could no longer bear to see that immoral scene. He also intends to hit his wife and his affair.
But just as Arga's feet were about to step closer to them, suddenly a middle-aged mother beat up Ratih's body with her bag. He berated Ratih with an ear-shrinking vow. The scene became the spectacle of many people in the parking lot.
"Basar cheap women. Is there no other man, you are willing to give your body to this old man, just for money. You disgusting woman. Cheap lady. I know, you were my husband's mistress all along. Ignorant woman. Women are immoral. Dirty woman" said the woman.
Everyone blasphemed Ratih as a cheap woman. Ratih just kept quiet, sitting in silence, he did not dare to hold his head up. Maybe embarrassed, scared and sad, I don't know.
The woman pulled her husband's hand, to get out of there. While Ratih was still glued to where he stood. She cried out of disgrace in front of everyone there. Arga approached his wife, he pulled Ratih's hand away from the crowd.
Arga forced Ratih into his car very roughly. He was very upset and angry. Not a word came out of Ratih's mouth, she was too shocked by her husband's arrival.
"Why is Arga just silent? I'm sure Mas Arga saw the man I was with!" batin Ratih's.
"Mass? How did you get there?" tanya Ratih was a little scared. Ratih glanced at her husband, still she did not flinch. Arga was just focusing on driving his car.
Arriving at home, Arga pulls Ratih's hand rough. Then pull it to get into the house. Dahlia who had just bathed Keyla, was so shocked.
"Arga, what's wrong?" ask Dahlia. But Arga did not answer questions from his mother.
Arga continues to pull Ratih's hand into the room, then, Arga takes Ratih's suitcase to pack all his clothes.
"Mas, why did you put all my clothes in the suitcase?" ask Ratih fearfully.
"You're still asking!" snapped Arga. Arga looked at his wife's bead with anger. His eyes turned red, Ratih did not dare to look at him.
Arga clearly heard the middle-aged woman's words.
'Basic cheap women. Is there no other man? you're willing to give up your body to this old man, just for the money. You disgusting woman. Cheap lady. I know, you were my husband's mistress all along. Ignorant woman. Women are immoral. Dirty woman."
"Mass?" isak Ratih's.
"I've been patient enough with you. All this time I've been keeping you quiet. But, you've gone too far, Train! You're willing to sell your body just for your pleasure. You never thought about how I felt. I am your husband, the head of the household and the priest to you. But, you've tarnished my name, you've trampled on my pride, you've trampled on my honor. And so, I, Arga Mahendra, have you. You are no longer my wife" the wrath of Arga.
"What?" Ratih was so surprised, "No, I don't want to, Mas. I still want to be your wife. Please, don't talk me out!"
"Hiks ... Hicks .... Hiks." cried Ratih.
"Now pack all your things. Get your feet out of this house!" snapped Arga.
"No, I don't want to!" said it. Train kneels before Arga, he begs for forgiveness for his mistake. However, Arga was already too wrathful. He ignored his wife's apology.
"What's up, Arga?" ask Dahlia. Arga threw his body on the sofa. He did not believe what his wife was doing.
"It's really crazy," inner Arga. She grabbed her own hair, out of frustration.
"Arga, answer me!" snapped mother. He could see his son was so devastated. Arga continued to sob.
"Arga, what's wrong?" ask her mother again.
"I used to call Amelia an abominable woman, a dirty woman, a disgusting woman, a cheap woman. Now I know who deserves to be said like that, Mom," she said sobbing, "After me she's been having an affair, Mom. The work that had been done by Ratih was dirty. He had already sold his body to a striped-nose male" replied Arga.
"Astagfirullah, why would he do that to us, son? What's our fault? Is the money you've been giving me not enough?" cecar Dahlia's.
"The coach will never be satisfied, ma'am!"
"Hiks .... Hicks .... Hicks."
Dahlia cried, because she also felt the pain her son felt.
"Arga has failed to become a husband. Arga also failed to become a priest. In the past, Amelia had asked herself to part with Arga. Now, Arga alone must divorce Ratih. Is this karma for our family, ma'am? We used to be so mean to Amelia that we always insulted, demeaned and belittled her. Is this a punishment for our family? Punishment for me too?" isak Arga's.
"Patience, Son. Your decision to divorce Ratih is correct. You have to think calmly, don't be rash. You should think of Keyla too. He still needs you, son!" Dahlia.
"I'm sorry Arga, Mom. Arga's always been bothering me!" said it.
"What are you saying, son. I've never felt you bother me!" dahlia.
Train to walk without direction. The only one she could ask for help was her mother. He also went home to his parents. Ratih's mother was very surprised by the arrival of her daughter.
"What's up, son?" ask her mother to worry.
"Mom, Mas Arga has divorced Ratih and he kicked Ratih out of the house" he told his mother.
"Lho, why? What's going on?"
"Easy, Mom. I don't need to know the reason. The important thing is that from today, Ratih will stay here" he said.
"Please stay here, son. Your home is always wide open for you. But, tell me what's going on?" ask mother.
"Don't you tell me, I don't need to know why!" said Ratih with a slightly raised tone.
"But, Son?"
"Already, Ratih tired. Wanna sleep!" he replied with a slightly raised tone. Train passed to his room.
"Ratih, why has your nature changed so much? In the past, you were very gentle. Never once spoke in such a high tone with mom. Why are you like that now, son?" inner mother.
