A Wounded Life
Chapter 18

Today is Lela's wedding day and I'm still in my room and clinging to the mirror on my dresser

My shadow is in the mirror and after seeing me smile with satisfaction

Currently I have used brown kebaya with matching colored batik cloth

Thin makeup that I have applied on my face makes me smile satisfied with the results of karyaki

Maybe people say I'm crazy for attending my own husband's wedding feeling happy and dressed up like going to a friend's wedding

Where the smile that always expands and never subsides

But I'm not crazy but numb all the love I have is withered and almost dead

Maybe if watered by water even one bucket will never live again

I took the black bag in the glass cabinet and put it on

My feet wearing high heels began to step down the stairs

"Mrs sure" Misa asked with a concerned face making me laugh

"The lady is still sane" asked Ani

"Hushhh you know I'm still sane you guys want to come along" asked me to offer

"Don't let it look like it mending me clean clean" said Misa

"I also "said Ani as she passed into the kitchen

"This miss Kayak is not attending the wedding of her own husband" said Ila

"Why" I asked while looking at myself

"More suitable to come to the condangan temen" said Sie while chuckling

"The spirit is non" said Ratih

"Thank you" I said sincerely

"Judah I go first" I said then walked out and went to the house next door

There will soon start in five minutes

"La." said Gio to call me.

"What" I asked

"A." said Gio disconnected when he saw Lela sitting next to him

And so I began,, Gio was able to say the holy word after twice mispronouncing the name that Lela should have been my name

I breathed a sigh of annoyance now that I found out that this is all Lela's trap looks like Gio doesn't like this marriage

The price Gio gave Lela was only fifty million rupiah

"Congratulations!! good luck" I said with great emphasis

The invited guests were only a few people and more from Lela's relatives

If you look at the appearance of Lela is still defeated by my appearance now

"Thank you" said Gio

"I go home first" I said, then walked out

"Ngapain still want to survive" said a middle-aged woman who may be the mother of Lela

"Mending is delicious" he said again

At the moment we are on the front porch while Gio is still in the living room

"I'm sorry I was rushing home" I said and then walked

My hand was held by someone from behind

"Why? Heartache" he asked, provoking my emotions

"Prepared for Gio's attention will be taken with my daughter Lela" he said

My eyes looked at her hands that were still in my arms and then I patted

"Even if it happens I'll never give A SHIT" I said with great emphasis on the final part

"Excuse me I don't have the slightest time to serve you" I said then walked away
