Lara's Pieces (When the Ex Returns)
Exchange Rooms
The Askara family had already left after the event was over. It was only a marriage contract event and was only attended by the Askara family, as well as the closest neighbors, because in order for anyone to witness that Askara married Azzura with Salma's permission.
Salma was in her room. He was still wondering in himself, was it wrong of him to allow Askara to marry Azzura? The question suddenly crossed his mind. Before the marriage of Askara and Azzura took place, Salma thought of nothing at all. She did not care if she was wrong or did not allow her husband to marry again. Though all this time he clung to his stance that did not want to be combined, but somehow he seemed to take it for granted her husband married his ex-wife who was sickly again.
Maybe because Salma felt sorry for the state of Azzura who was sick and alone. Pakde and budenya also no longer want to take care of it, because they also have to follow their children. It is not good to take Azzura to his son's house, especially in a sickly Azzura state. Pakde dna budenya Azzura was as much as possible to take care of Azzura who was sick. For almost seven years they took care of Azzura, but there was no sign of Azzura improving. Until pakde and budenya Azzura decided to come with his son to Kalimantan. Their daughter needs her mother and father to accompany her, because her husband is on duty, and she comes home sometimes once a year. Instead of using ART services that they do not trust, finally asked bude and his uncle Azzura to come to Kalimantan.
Salma no longer wants to misunderstand Afifa. Afifah who also always cornered Salma. I don't know why the little girl had gotten so far away with herself as long as there was Azzura. Perhaps because Azzura was the mother of the womb, so their inner bond was very strong. Afifah always said he was selfish and did not want to understand Azzura who wanted to be close to his father. Afifah did not know that his father was divorced, he only knew, his mother returned so he and his father had to accept it well, but saw Salma who often had affairs with his father, Afifah was disappointed, and he was very upset, because the mother is angry if her father is close to her mother.
“Mother why the hell? Why get angry when I get mommy? You're sick, so it's okay to be close to you, you take care of me again? Mother why keep getting angry. Afifah wants you healed, Mother. Mommy shouldn't be so, can't be angry if you're with mom!”
With a face full of anger Afifah said that. Salma thought Afifah would defend her father after his mother returned. Therefore Salma allowed Askara to marry Azzura because he did not want to be more alone every day with Zura, it would cause new problems. The closeness between the ex is unlikely to be okay. The taste left behind must still be there, they must still keep their feelings neat so as not to be known by others.
Salma does not want her marriage to be tarnished because the husband is close to her ex-wife again. It is better to allow her husband to remarry, than her husband to do something close to adultery with an ex. And one more thing, she does not want to be a widow anymore. It might have been easy if Salma had gone and asked for a divorce, but she did not want her marriage to split up in a religious court anymore for now. It was like seeing the building where the wedding rope was broken, he was still very afraid to repeat the incident first.
Salma cleaned up her messy room, because she had used her room to decorate Azzura who was going to marry her husband. When he finished cleaning his room he saw Askara coming into his room. Askara took off her coat to approach Salma.
“Sal, how do we talk?”
“Yes, what do you want to say, Mas?” ask Salma.
“Sal, if for example a room exchange can be? You are temporarily in the guest room, because Zura wants to use this room again,” Askara said without feeling guilty.
Salma was stunned to hear Askara's request, shameless as hell, already befriended heart!
“Change rooms? I—ini means what, huh? I'm your first wife, Mom! It is appropriate that I use this master room!” pekik Salma's.
“Sal, just case you gini room anyway? You know Zura's state, right?”
“Yes I know, because I'm the doctor! But it doesn't have to be gini! It's good I let you marry her, now want to take this room? And, you obey him? After what room? I was told to leave the house? Yes so?!” erang Salma's.
“Remember mas, what did you say? It's fair, right? You have to understand fair first, Mom! Is this what is called fair? You don't even thank me for allowing you to remarry! Now you're asking me to move rooms? Realize not you? You kept me here, but you did! What am I supposed to be doing here? You and Zura should appreciate me sharing married life, Mas!”
“You are selfish, Sal!”
“I'm selfish? You should think, Mom! Who's selfish of me or Zura! Obviously he left you, okay with the excuse of not bothering you because he was sick! But he left without saying goodbye, my dear! Three days a wife leaves home without news is a big sin, Mom! He's seven years old! Now that he's back, wanting to take you away from me, you're saying I'm selfish for not understanding how sick he is? All I know, the sickly wife even forced her husband to marry again, so that his mind was mired, not even forbidding her husband to be close to his first wife! Don't know how embarrassed he is!”
“What did you say? He's shameless? She's a fine woman, Sal!”
“If she is a good woman, she will not disturb people's households, damage people's households, enter into people's households, and snatch people's husbands!” Salma was very disappointed with her husband. There has not been a day Azzura has been all kinds of requests.
“If he wants to spend the rest of his life with you, he won't put his place where, want in the guest room cake, in the maid's room, or maybe the warehouse, it won't matter? This is asking for a room I'm wearing just because this room reminds me of your memories? That doesn't make sense!” cetus Salma's.
“She also needs a place that makes her comfortable, Sal!”
“And you don't think about my comfort? Just her comfort?”
“Aren't you, Salma? You're healthy, he's not, Sal! You have to understand that!”askara.
“Then this is better I just go, Mas!” Salma moved out of her bed. He picked up the suitcase and pulled out his clothes, he arranged them into a suitcase. In vain, too, the intention of the heart wanted to share quietly, peacefully, because Askara's promise would be fair, but it had just been a day like this.
“Where are you going, Sal!”
“You're gone, than I'm so babu here. I take care of him, I give up, I have to be eliminated! Remember I'm still your wife, Mas!” answer Salma. “Find another doctor, to take care of your wife! I don't want to handle it anymore, afraid of being carried away by emotions, and what I put in was not medicine, but poison!”
“Where do you want to go, Salma?”
“I'm going to find peace. If you still expect me, and still think I'm your wife, you can meet me at the doctor's office house near the hospital!” the answer. “Let me go, Mas. I'll have aunt arrange this room. Please wear with Zura.”
Azzura saw Salma coming out of his room. He listened to all that Salma and Azzura argued.
“Sal, sorry I just want to occupy my room first with Mas Aska,” Azzura said.
“Please just stay!” answer's short.
“Where are you going, Sal?” ask Azzura.
“You calm down. Oh yeah, I pulled the nurse back to work at the hospital, I won't handle you anymore either. Please find another doctor, many great doctors in the hospital. I will no longer take care of you at home,” Salma said.
Salma immediately left Askara's house. It was like Askara or Afifah were calling him again, and holding him back from leaving, but there was not a single person blocking Salma from leaving.
“Starting today, I should be able to leave everything behind. True said Mother, I should just divorce Mas Aska. Mumpung I also have not been given offspring with Askara,” Salma murmured.
No matter the status of Salma who is still Askara's wife. If Askara could treat her well, she would be able to stay inside Askara's house, even if her household was not okay with Azzura's arrival. But, just as Askara married Azzura, she could ask for the room she was wearing. Ask Askara to ask Salma to leave his room, because Azzura will use it with him
Azzura was silent in front of the door of the room Salma and Askara were wearing. Azzura looked forward, Salma was already nowhere to be seen anymore, she was completely gone.
“I'm sorry, Salma. I just want Mas Askara to be mine again. I'm selfish, but here I am. Right now I don't want to share it with anyone. You can go, please come back if my age is up to be with Mas Aska,” muttered Azzura.
