I'm Always Wrong In Your Eyes
part 10 is slandered again

I waited a minute, but there was no reply from Merwais.

I immediately cleaned the room. I have the lyrics of a clock stuck to the wall, it's been showing almost ten o'clock in the night. But Bagas never came home. I carried Galang and invited him to sleep immediately.

Tiings... Gawaiku. I opened the message on the green app.

[I Love You, Dina]

I'm appalled. My blood ripples. My heart is beating fast.

[You know, Dina, I've liked you all this time.]

[You're a tough, strong woman. I admire your patience.]

[Nearly three months we lost contact, during that time I missed you a lot.]

I can only be quiet. My heart is beating faster. My hands shook reading every line of words he said. My mind was dead-end too.

[I know you have a husband! But I don't want you to be more tormented.]

[I am willing to be Abi of your children.]

[Will You Merry Me?]

I'm getting stunned. Merwais. He should have known, a woman who already had a husband, haram to be married.

I realize I was wrong too. Why did I have to ask him if he missed me! I miss him as just a brother.

Suddenly, Bagas came. He immediately grabbed the device in my hand. I'm getting scared, because I'm sure Bagas would accuse me of playing behind him.

"Huh, as expected, you're having an affair with that Indian guy."

Bagas hit me repeatedly. And I was cornered at the end of the room. Without her noticing that I was pregnant.

The man who had been sleeping, woke up. And cry out loud. I immediately grabbed and hugged Galang. I'm afraid Galang will be the victim of Bagas' rampage blindly.

After he was satisfied, Bagas left us. The other house keys were also carried. He locks the window by nailing it from the outside. There was no access way for us to get out.

I just lament myself. Without me noticing, there was water seeping between my two groins. When I held it, it was blood. I'm surprised too.

When I wanted to stand up, there was pain in my stomach. I don't feel strong. My eyes began to twinkle. Before I lost consciousness, I heard Galang crying and calling "Mother".

******

When I came to, I saw Galang sleeping on my chest and hugging me. I wept. Immediately I carried Galang to move him on the bed, without me ignoring the pain that was still felt in my stomach.

I went straight to the bathroom and cleaned myself up. After that I cleaned the blood on the bedroom floor.

I don't know if I miscarried or not.

After everything was settled, I immediately cooked food for the two of us. Let's just eat rice and salt, which is important my son can eat.

Three days had passed, Bagas went home to our rented house.

" Hey, pel**ur, today my family will be here."

"If you tell them what happened back then, it will have a bad effect on Galang. Understood?" Bagas.

Only tears can come out of the corner of my eye.

Not long after, my in-laws came. With Auntie and her Oom Bagas. I let them in, and immediately prepared tea for them.

Not long Bang Wira also came with his wife. I was confused as to what this all meant.

"Din, Bagas told me everything." My father-in-law started the conversation.

"I mean sir?" my many. Because I don't understand.

"Here, don't pretend, Din." Bagas's aunt.

"Needed cheating. Bagas told me everything."

I was surprised too. I didn't think Bagas was slandering me anymore, without even hearing my explanation.

"You are ashamed, Din." Bang Wira looks very angry.

"You've been cheating on me and pregnant with another man." Bang Wira stood up and hit me.

"We've seen what you had to do with the Indian man." said Aunt Bagas.

"And you must abort the child" said Bang Wira again.

"But I'm not cheating, Bang!" I also did a fight.

"It's really Bagas' kid." I started sobbing.

Soon my mother-in-law grabbed Galang from my lap and took him out.

"I don't believe." Bagas also voiced.

"Evocate that content. Or..."

"I will not abort this child."I interrupted immediately. Although I don't know my condition now.

"If I don't want to, do you want to divorce me?" my reply.

All are silent.

"Whatever, you want to maintain your content or not, I will not divorce you until anytime." snapped Bagas.

"Yes Allah.... So heavy is the test you give. Give me the strength of God." My prayer in my heart.

"You should be ashamed, Din." said Bang Wira.

"Basic, shameless wife. Defend the bastard." Aunt Bagas muttered.

"Din, Bagas loves you very much." Father-in-law said.

"Love but not to hurt" I said.

"I still want a divorce." I added.

Suddenly the punch landed on my cheek. Bang Wira with an angry face slapped me. I can only grimace.

"I've said, until any time I won't divorce you."

Since Bagas' decision was clear, they all came home. It's just me and Galang.

*******

A bright morning. The sun perfectly illuminates the earth. The warm light penetrated my skin.

But not as warm as my heart is right now. I sat on the terrace. While Galang was still sleeping in his dream crib.

Isha suddenly hugged me and cried.

"Sir Din, forgive Isha. Isha can't help Brother." Isha was crying in my arms.

"Don't blame yourself Sha. Brother knows."

"Sister, please, tell Isha everything!"

"Is it true that they're accusing you of cheating?"

"No, Sha, they're wrong."

"Then explain the truth to them."

"Free, Sha. No matter how I explain, they're still clinging to their own opinions."

"I'm desperate, Sha. Would I rather just die?!" at last my defense collapsed, I cried bitterly.

We also cried hugging each other.

I finally told Isha everything.

After hearing all my stories, Isha immediately took me to the obstetrician. Luckily, the doctor was Isha's best friend at school, so we didn't have to queue.

"Va, please see my brother dong."

It turns out that the obstetrician was named Eva.

"What complaints?" ask Dr. Eva.

Isha also told me everything that happened with my womb. And Doctor Eva immediately examined me.

"Thank God, the baby in your brother's womb is strong, Sha. The baby is still there."

"But, please, his mother don't stress. It'll affect the baby."

After the examination, we went home. Isha promised to help me as much as she could.

"Sister, Bagas still giving money?"

"It's been two weeks since that incident, Bagas hasn't given me a dime."

"Take this money Brother, as Brother's handle."

Isha offered two pieces of red money.

"Thank you Sha."

"But don't tell me that I'm helping Brother, yeah. If Rendy finds out, she'll be mad."

Rendy is Isha's husband. He was a man who did not want to interfere in the household affairs of people, even though it was his brother.

"Sha, will you help me?" my many.

"What, Brother?"

"Please find Merwais Ahmed Khan's efbi. I want to ask him for help."

SERIATE........
