Bitter Tongue In-Law

Bitter Tongue In-Law
29. Attention


The next day, at five o'clock in the afternoon Nuna was already allowed to go home. Bian was exactly like a standby husband in general. Don't ask Nuna's feelings, the feeling of condolence seems no longer appropriate he stare. Maybe in the eyes of others he already knows himself and shameless because it looks like hanging life on others.


"Come, please come in. Why just stand, Mom? Poor Cashel outside for too long. It's almost evening, the cold air isn't good for him." Bian opens the door of an online taxi car that he takes to drive Nuna and her mother to the house that Nuna will be staying in temporarily.


Bian asked the driver to drive when everyone was in the car. Nuna watched the road thinking about where she and her mother would be taken.


Not knowing at all the way that will be taken makes Nuna forced to open her voice, "Where are we going?"


"To your new home. We'll be there soon."


And sure enough, only about two minutes from Nuna's question, they had arrived at a medium-sized house. Having a medium-sized yard, there was a mango tree in front of the house.


Bian acted as if he was really the head of the family responsible for Nuna and her mother, maybe that crossed the mind of the driver who had seen Bian as if he was amazed by his figure.


"Sorry, yes Mom, Na. The house is not large, this is actually a budhe house that has not been occupied for a long time. It's still clean and there's a lot of stuff left." Bian invites the two women in and shows them a room they can occupy together.


"Why should I apologize, Bian? What you give is more than enough. Even I'm so troublesome to you, I don't know what to pay for all this? I feel like I know you just to trouble you." Nuna's eyes glazed over.


"I'm doing this because I can help you, so I'm helping. Don't think about anything other than your child, just focus on him. He needs you, you're the only parent he's got. If you want to give back what I love, you have to be happy."


Ye? The tumben?


"We owe you a lot, Bian." Nuna's mother said condolences. If only Nuna did not insist on doing a DNA test, maybe they could come back sooner, Ibu Nuna thought.


"No need to talk like that, Mom. I don't consider this a debt. I think I should go home so you can rest too."


Nuna's mother simply nodded smiling, "Be careful, yes. Again, thank you."


Nuna drove Bian's departure to the terrace.


"Oh, yes, Na. There's one thing I want to ask. If someday you can test your son's DNA, you show it to your husband. Are you going back to him?"


"I don't know, Bian. On the one hand he hurt me, but on the other he hurt me because of this misunderstanding. I'm so confused as to what to do after I can do that DNA test."


"But such a man is not worth defending. You are a husband and wife, he can't just hear and trust one side. Moreover, there is no evidence that shows his accusation is true. It means he's reckless, doesn't think long, and and this kind of nature is bound to happen a second and a third time."


Nuna was silent, she was busy thinking about the words from Bian. In his tiny heart, he confirmed the thought of the good man. Tired of standing up, he ended up covering and sitting in a long chair attached to the terrace. And his movement was followed by Bian.


Nuna just bowed lethargic. When his head was bowed, the tail of his eyes accidentally saw Bian's wrist that looked scarred. The small and numbering scar of more than one reminded him of yesterday's moment. The moment in which he clutched the man's wrist with his nails. The woman's reflexes grabbed Bian's hand and he watched closely.


"That's Cashel's birthmark."


"I'm sorry, Bian. This is his wound deep. I give you medicine, yeah."


"No, no, no. Let alone. Just a small wound. I went straight home, yes. You take a break, if you ask for any help don't hesitate to tell me, yes."


Nuna just nodded with a smile. He enters the house as soon as Bian disappears from sight.


The time that kept going carried them to the next days. Nuna who has not fully recovered after giving birth wants to work. However, he was also confused by his position. Amidst the confusion, Bian visited the house after a few days of not seeing face to face.


Bian came not just to see. He came with a piece of paper that Nuna had hoped for. He thought for sure the woman would be happy if he got this quickly without her expecting it.


However, who would have thought that he who intended to give a surprise to Nuna was precisely the one who was surprised. There is a motorbike parked in the yard, which makes Bian confused and surprised is that no one knows where Nuna is there other than him.


He immediately walked to the house and


Jeduar


Let's really not expect who is a human being who is sitting on the sofa whose color has begun to fade. A man he had beaten a few days ago was sitting with Nuna and her mother. They looked at each other in silence.


"Where did you know Nuna was here?"


"That's not important, man, what's important is that I'm in divorce now and you don't have to hide like this just to meet." Arga stood up from his place, then turned to look at Nuna. "Let's sign the divorce papers so that you won't be considered an adulterous person when you meet other men than your husband."


"HEY! Watch what you said, what did you say? My meeting with Nuna Zina? Then I should mention what your relationship is with the woman who is now pregnant with your child. You impregnated a woman for the second time, right? You impregnated them without marrying her first. I should call that what if you call my meeting with Nuna Zina, ha?"


Nuna opened her mouth and eyes simultaneously after hearing the words. To his surprise, he looked at his mother to see if what he heard was wrong or not.


"What do you mean by Bian?"


"Ask your husband, Nuna. What's he been doing while you're holding his son."


Nuna turned to Arga, who had a face full of anger. He moved his steps a little to get closer.
