"I will never allow you to leave this pavilion before you give birth to that child. After that, I don't care if you go somewhere. I'll give you a lot of money to stock you later. As long as you won't return to our lives," Arjuna said heartlessly.


"It turns out you guys are so bad pa" said Marissa. Marissa could only cry hearing the painful words from Arjuna's mouth. Get over here. Marissa could see that Arjuna was not only cold to her but also kind to her. Arjuna's words clearly lowered his pride. He did not expect much money said by Arjuna. Marissa just wants to, Arjuna believes that he never trapped the man.


"Sleep, I don't want to do that with a wild woman like you either. My body and my love are only for my wife Nisa" Arjuna said.


Again Arjuna said spicyly. Marissa has tried to do good but now she is called a wild woman.


"One thing you have to remember. I never set up papa. I never even remember ever doing that dirty deed" replied Marissa fiercely. Marissa felt the need to make it clear that she had never trapped Arjuna.


"One more pa. If you still call me a wild woman. Then don't expect this child to ever meet you" Marissa said.


"What do you mean. You threatening me?"


"It's up to you to interpret what I said earlier. But I want to make it clear that I'm not a wild woman."


Arjuna. The man's heart was still frozen and did not want to believe Marissa said.


"That's pa's exit. I'm going to bed. Papa doesn't have to sleep here. Because I don't need and don't want to."


Marisa pointed at the exit. Marissa felt no longer the need to keep a verbal to Arjuna who had changed. Marissa did not care whether her husband was offended or not.


"You drove me out of my own treasure?" arjuna was angry. It turned out that it was true that the man was offended by the presumptuous attitude displayed by Marissa. He was unconscious. Marissa was like that because of her.


Marissa did not answer. Marissa covered her entire body with a blanket. Marissa hid her tears inside the blanket.


Offended because Marissa's attitude did not make Arjuna directly out of the pavilion. He'll be out late at night after Martin's grandfather gets in the room and goes to bed. He did not want to sleep in that pavilion. Willing to come to this place just to outwit Grandpa Heri. Arjuna plays his phone waiting late at night.


Arjuna was late in the game on that phone. He played his cell phone for about an hour. When he stepped towards the door. A long breath from the bed made Arjuna stop. He turned his head towards the bed and it was still visible if Marissa was covered in a blanket.


Arjuna felt his heart throbbing pain. She found out why Marissa was like that because she was tired of crying. In between her playing the phone earlier. Arjuna occasionally heard Marissa's sobs.


Arjuna did not step towards the door. He stepped towards the bed. He stared at Marissa's covered body. Arjuna opened the blanket slowly from above Marissa's head. He could see the poor girl's tears that had not dried up.


"If you had done nothing like that. Maybe you're still my sweet daughter" Arjuna said. She looked at Marissa's face which looked very sad. Arjuna took a deep breath and then stepped away from the bed. Exit the pavilion and head for the main house. Arjuna was relieved that the house was deserted.


Arjuna opened the door slowly. He found his wife sleeping in bed. Arjuna wants to build Nisa but he said it because he is still imagined with the sad face of Marissa.


All that night, Arjuna could not close his eyes. Marissa's request to leave the house was ringed in her ear. Arjuna closed his eyes many times but Marissa's sad face was overshadowed on his face.


The next morning, Arjuna also woke up quickly. He slept for only about two hours but that didn't make him wake up late. Today is sunday. Usually on holidays like this. Arjuna will be lazy in bed.


"Where is my wife ma," Arjuna told Rosa's grandmother, who had been seen busy in the kitchen. Usually Nisa who prepares breakfast for them assisted workers in the house.


"Showever to the pavilion deliver breakfast to Marissa."


"Either is made of what Nisa's heart is. I really did not choose the wrong wife," praised Arjuna. He admires Nisa's still kind attitude towards Marissa after what she did.


Rosa's grandmother did not respond to Arjuna's praise of his wife. Instead the old woman was astonished by the caring attitude shown by Nisa to Marissa. Because in general, women who are hurt by people they strongly believe will hate more than hurt by others. But what grandma saw from Nisa when she was about to deliver breakfast Marissa just looks happy Nisa.


"Marissa darling. He doesn't want to eat at all. Said Aunt. Last night she ate very little, " said Nisa looking very worried.


"Then why the food was brought back here. Just put it there. When he is hungry, take it" said Arjuna. The tray contained breakfast and milk was still in Nisa's hands.


Rosa's grandmother looked at Arjuna and Marissa's faces. Arjuna can be calm while Nisa looks very worried. For grandma Rosa. The attitude shown by Nisa was the unnatural attitude shown by the old wife to the young wife. In general, old wives will not care about anything that happens with young wives let alone young wives married for reasons of cheating and being pregnant.


"O is right. Then you're the one who delivered this, baby. Pity her fetus if no nutrients enter Marissa's body."


Arjuna was doubtful of his wife's words. Dealing with Marissa. Arjuna realized he could not control himself not to get angry. He did not want to start today in anger because Arjuna was very sure that Marissa would ask permission to leave this house. Arjuna also believed that the act of not eating was a deliberate act by Marissa.


"Arjuna. You'd better deliver the food to Marissa" said Rosa's grandmother. As a woman who has experience in pregnancy. Rosa's grandmother thinks Marissa needs her husband's attention and affection.


"All right," said Arjuna. He reached out his hand asking for the tray from Nisa's hand.


"For the sake of our child-to-be" whispered Arjuna in the ear of his wife. Nisa nodded her head while smiling. He was happy that Arjuna said that.


Arjuna had not yet reached the door of the pavilion. He heard Marissa's voice. Marissa was fighting that nausea and vomiting in the bathroom of that pavilion.


Arjuna put the tray on a small table. She . stepped quickly towards the bathroom whose door was open. In that simple bathroom. Arjuna could see Marissa was crouching against him trying to spit out her entrails but nothing came out. Arjuna felt disgusted after seeing what Marissa spewed out. Non-food plays a yellowish-green liquid. And yet. Arjuna remained standing at the bathroom door.


Arjuna was surprised to see Marissa's face looking very pale and sweaty. Marissa was also surprised to see Arjuna standing at that door.


"You are pale Sa" said Arjuna. Arjuna's attitude turned soft as it used to be when Marissa was still his adopted daughter first.


Marissa did not answer. Marissa walked towards the bed and immediately lay there. After the nausea is reduced. Marissa felt her head breaking. This was not the first one he felt but it seemed to be the worst. Maybe because the stomach filled a little last night plus a heavy burden of mind makes Marissa have to experience morning sickness more severe today than a few days ago.


"Eat first Sa. You have to eat a lot so that the fetus is healthy" said Arjuna worried. Marissa did not answer. If not eating can make itself detached from the fetus. So Marissa wanted to do it. Because until this moment, Marissa is not willing to contain.


Arjuna pulled the small table close to Marissa's bed.


"Marissa, please don't be stubborn. The foetus needs nutrients" Arjuna snapped. It turned out that the gentle demeanor displayed by the man could not last long.


"Something happened to that fetus. You can put me in jail. Because you deliberately do not want to eat to harm the fetus. Remember Marissa. I don't play with my words. Anyone can't help you if that happens" Arjuna threatened. Arjuna even forced Marissa to sit down.


Marissa is not crying anymore. When Arjuna forcefully put the breakfast into his mouth. Marissa tried to chew. There were no tears over the cruel attitude he had received from Arjuna. Until breakfast was a little left. Arjuna feeds Marissa but by force.


"Can drink milk by yourself. Or should it be forced?" ask Arjuna still. Marissa did not answer but stretched out her hand to drink the milk. He had to obey because he did not want to go to jail. Marissa knew she had no one in the world. He used to be very grateful to have foster parents like Arjuna and Nisa. And now, Marissa wants to turn the clock to the past. Suppose it could. Marissa would not be willing to be the adopted daughter of Arjuna and Nisa.


"Marissa, I think you're an adult. For things about eating or anything else. Do not trouble others. Remember what I said. I won't let you off the hook if anything happens to that fetus. You also have to remember. The fetus is mine and Nisa's," said Arjuna cynically.


"Yes. I'll remember" replied Marissa softly. Marissa then lay back on the bed. The headache has not gone away.


Arjuna was relieved to hear Marissa's reply. He did not know if someone was smiling happily outside the pavilion door. That woman is Nisa. He was happy to hear all Arjuna said to Marissa. Arjuna is rude to Marissa, which means that Arjuna hates Marissa. Nisa felt there was nothing else she should fear. Nisa thinks that Arjuna is hers and no one can snatch Arjuna from her even though it is Marissa.


Nisa hid behind the pavilion when she heard Arjuna's footsteps approaching the door. Nisa also does not know if what she did was noticed by grandmother Rosa from the connecting door of the house and the back of the house.
