My cousin Maduku
Chapter 46 The Glory of Danang

Time has passed but Danang and Siska's relationship does not improve after the mysterious guest's arrival. He increasingly maintained his attitude towards his wife. Because only then could Siska know the contents of Danang's heart that was really angry.

"Mas, when do you want to register our marriage to KUA?." Siska looked at her husband fixedly.

In fact, at this time Danang does not talk much because he is punishing his wife so that she does not talk about KUA anymore. Unfortunately, the woman who was being kept silent did not care about Siska as if she was a fool with Danang's attitude.

Pri, who had just finished lunch, only glanced at him. Then Danang exhaled a rough breath while throwing his face. A signal that the man does not want the inauguration of their marriage. Because, according to him, the marriage will follow him.

"If not you don't want to also not papa, anyway, Mas. I too must be a widow. Some people also know that I've been married to you. And they'll all think this kid is your son. The ease? And after getting divorced from you, I must have married someone else. At least there are still people who want to accept me despite being a widow and having children. That you? Indeed there are still women who accept disabled men like you, Mas? Everywhere in this day and age it's realistic women, Mas. They don't want to marry someone who can't give anything. Now is not the time to accept men for who they are, think it is!. I'm sure I'm the only woman who can accept your flaws. But that's up to you, Mom! The decision is in your hands. Want to inaugurate then this household runs as it should. It's not okay. Maybe up here our soul mate. This is my last question. And please be answered later tonight. If in one week our relationship stays like this, I will forcefully ask for a talak and bring you home. I'm not kidding."

Siska indifferently. As if it was not necessary, but in his heart was hoping Danang would accept his request. In any case, he did not want to divorce Danang that quickly. The woman was still trying to keep a good name in the eyes of her extended family. The good name has been ruined for a long time.

Without a word Danang left Siska alone. The man turned his wheelchair away from the house he had been living in for the past few months. Danang went to a field not too far from his current residence.

Under the tree that grows in the corner of the field. Danang parked his wheelchair. The man calmed down. The new reality was enough to shake his soul. Until recently made him lose the spirit of life.

And that was under that tree. His mind drifted far away. His brain is trying hard to figure out what's going on in his life lately.

"Siska you're the bad woman I've met! your face is beautiful but it turns out your heart is very rotten. You trapped me until my heart hurt and left my wife for you cheap girl who likes to dip here and there." In his solitude, Danang cursed Siska. Her chest rose and fell because it held back emotions. His hands were clenching firmly. Jaw hardens. Danang was furious lately, but was unable to vent in front of Siska other than in a silent manner. Her chest always felt tight after knowing the reality about the content of Siska. The fetus that was thought to be her biological child turned out to be someone else's seed. The woman who thought she could bring happiness turned out to be a great liar.

"Stupid! stupid you, Danang! Foolish because you've thrown away a woman as good as Riska to get Siska. Just because the fetus wasn't my son." Danang beat his own head. Soon she screamed like a sick person.

Lucky in that place is quiet, because the scorching heat makes people reluctant to leave the house. And it made Danang free to let out the screams of his heart which demanded evaporation.

It's been an hour since Danang was under a tree with a blank look. Her hair was moving because of the strong wind.

Anyone who sees Danang at the end will feel sorry for her. How, no, her hair is shaggy, her thin body and eyes are sunken, her skinny cheeks confirm that she is not well and not taken care of. The inner pressure due to his own actions makes him like an undead, dead, unwilling to live.

Danang closed his eyes for a moment while permeating the chest tightness. Within his closed eyes appeared the face of Riska who was smiling sinisterly towards him.

"Risk." Danang shook his head strongly to remove the shadow of his former wife as if mocking him.

"Are you satisfied to see my destruction, Riska? Can you be happy on top of my suffering, Riska? I'm sorry for being stupid." Danang muttered to himself. Suddenly his eyes felt the heat.

"Andang! so that man don't cry! you are not wrong in this. There is no harm in the man being adventurous. If you are currently in this condition, it is natural. Think of it as being hit by apes." as if someone whispered those words on the left.

"Receive and enjoy what's going on, Danang! This is the reward of what you plant. You committed adultery before marriage. At that time, you had a wife. You release a woman who has contributed to your life for a woman you think contains your seed? It clearly belongs to someone else. You are the victim of happiness with Riska in pursuit of pseudo happiness. This is a reply for you. Deformed feet and trampled self-esteem are little replies to what you do. Now think about how to survive. With Siska at least you can eat even if you don't work. In the overflow there you have to slam bones for a mouthful of rice. No one loves someone else's child. Think of it as your own child." the sound was faintly heard by Danang's right ear.

I don't know where the whisper came from. But, quite able to disturb the minds of men who are frustrated.

Right now Danang was completely at the peak of confusion. I don't know what conclusion to draw. To continue a marriage is to humble oneself. But if you want to quit, afraid of being embarrassed by his extended family. Suddenly the feeling of his mother is ringing in his ears. Yesterday, Ms. Zainab also had time to tell how her sisters blamed the departure of Riska. They said that Ms. Zainab was not grateful for the daughter-in-law she had at the time. In fact, they were compact to laugh at his mother Danang who is currently unable to get a monthly ration from her daughters-in-law. At present, to support himself, Ms. Zainab is forced to work for the people who work her fields.
