At five o'clock in the morning, Kirana was up and straight out of the room. He was surprised by the figure of Zidan who was in the television room with a body leaning on the sofa accompanied by a cup of coffee with steam that was still steaming and the aroma of fresh coffee.
The man looked at her for a moment before turning his eyes the other way.
Kirana pretended not to see it. He immediately went out and watered the plants that were in front of the house.
About half an hour later, Zidan came out and looked at her sharply but Kirana pretended not to listen to the man's call.
Kirana is indifferent. He did not even hesitate to spray the man with running water to make the man's body drenched.
“Badness!” maki Zidan is getting louder.
“Oh, sorry, not intentionally. I didn't see you there, ” Kirana said full of lies, obviously she saw her husband standing there.
“Kirana! Since when have you been like this, huh?!” snapped Zidan with a thunderous voice.
“Since you hurt my heart. Ever since you have let me down and betrayed our marriage. Since then, I will fight everything you do. You know why? Because I'm sick of seeing you, Zidan Pranadipa.”
Plaque!
Zidan's slap landed back on Kirana's cheek. It was so loud that just hearing his voice, it felt so painful.
“You've really changed. What demons possess you until you dare your husband.” Zidan said with emotion. Since when did his wife always go against his words even dare to challenge him like this.
Kirana chuckled softly. “The set is you!” he said rudely, threw a water hose just like that and left Zidan who was just staring at him.
As strong as her energy, she always held back tears so as not to spill. Perhaps his lips could tell that he did not want to cry anymore, but his heart could never be lied to.
The pain that penetrated his heart made his eyes heat up.
Zidan stared at his hand which once again lifted hitting Kirana.
She felt guilty but refused to admit it. What he did was not wrong because he thought Kirana had gone too far.
A wife should not go against the words of her husband, let alone openly show stupidity.
His body rested on the sofa. Sighing repeatedly to relieve the rumbling of emotions that billow in the head.
His eyes closed for a moment.
“I don't want to hurt you Kira, understand my position,” his sigh is frustrated.
“Again, Papa.”
He turned his head and found Rina standing looking at him with a faint smile.
“Aready? Adek where?” he asked her who did not see her youngest child.
“Adek still wearing shoes. Oh yeah, last night I heard Dad screaming. Why?” Lina sat down beside her father.
“Emang sister heard what?”
“Yes hear papa same mom screaming. Papa's voice reached the room,” said Rina, advancing her lips.
Zidan chuckled softly. “Sorry, yes. Papa does not know, his voice is disturbing adek same brother bobo huh?”
Lina nodded her head. “Papa who goes to school?”
“Iya, papa take a shower first.” After saying his approval, he rushed into the room.
Kirana who was sitting at the dressing table only gave a glance, but what concerned her was not her attitude but the appearance of the woman.
She looks so neat and beautiful.
“Where are you going?”
“Work,” sahut Kirana flat.
His forehead wailed in wonder. Since when does his wife work and where does. It became a question that wanted to be asked but did not stop when he saw the woman moving out of the room.
After spending twenty minutes getting ready, he immediately came out with a neat appearance and a fresh face.
Walking to the dinner table, he found his son and wife had already started breakfast without waiting for his presence. And feelings of disrespect began to infiltrate his mind.
“Papa no breakfast?” asked Lina as she just kept quiet.
“No appetite,” says Zidan a little cynical.
“No eating is okay, but don't be angry dong,” said Rina again, staring annoyed at him.
“Quick. Papa's leaving in a minute. Later late.”
“You if you want to leave, go first. Let me take the children later,” said Kirana flat, do not want if both become victims of Zidan's anger.
Zidan looks angry.
Selflessly he immediately left the dining table and rushed out of the house feeling sick from being ignored.
...✿✿✿...
Almost every morning Kendrick would sit in front of the house and observe the house in front of him.
Although the expected one was never seen but he never got tired of looking at it.
Whether there is a wind, suddenly the figure is expected to come out of the house wearing a batik negligee along the knee. His face looks ayu without makeup and messy hair, does not reduce its appeal at all.
He smiled thinly.
“Always beautiful,” murmurs slowly.
As he was enjoying the look of the wood suddenly came the sound of a shocking scream. Her eyes widened when she saw the arrival of the man who became her husband. He put up an ear to hear the husband and wife quarrel.
But the incident witnessed instantly made his blood boil when the man slapped his wife.
He was eager to run and hit the cowardly man, but his mind stopped whatever he wanted to do when he realized.
The reality made him only able to sigh many times, resisting the emotional turmoil felt.
He immediately entered the house when he finished watching the latest live broadcast that made the heart stupefied.
...✿✿✿...
Kirana deliberately untangled her hair and let a few strands cover her face.
Zidan slap not only leaves a reddish mark, but has turned blue and slightly swollen because it has not been compressed.
Fortunately today they do not have a job out of the office so it will not be a question of what really happened.
This half-day he had only walked into the superior's room twice. There is no urgent work to be done.
It seems like things are on his side.
Kirana dropped her head on the table with her eyes closed. The shadow of what the man did was always haunting like a nightmare.
Zidan had changed a lot and he seemed to not recognize the man anymore because too many changes had occurred.
It was not only his love that disappeared, but also the tenderness that was always shown.
Wh why?
Ten years she's been a wife, not even the least she's ever yelled at. But now the man never hesitated to hit him again.
His eyes were closed but the droplets of clear liquid escaped and soaked his cheeks, flowing away without being prevented.
“Bu Kirana.”
Sumini's arrival made her straighten up after wiping away the tears.
“What's up, Mom?”
The middle-aged woman held out an ice cube tied up with a handkerchief.
“This, Mom. Can make a bruised cheek compress.” Sumini just carried out the orders of the superior. To be honest he had absolutely no idea about the bruise on Kirana's face.
What was done on Kendrick's orders. Even the handkerchief used belonged to the man.
Kirana's body stiffened, slightly surprised. He had already hidden his face from the sight of others but was still caught.
His hand accepted, his lips smiling wryly. “Still Bu.”
After the middle-aged woman's departure, Kirana began to stick the cold object on the surface of her skin.
Nano-nano taste. Stiffness, heat and pain, but it was not from his cheek but rather the feeling came from his chest.
He closed his eyes while enjoying the sensation he felt.
While indoors, Kendrick saw everything that happened with Kirana through CCTV installed along the hallway.
It was eager for him to grab onto the frail body of the woman and wipe away the tears of pain he felt. But everything can only be held back and only be a wishful thinking because it does not want to make his feelings that have been extinguished back turbulent.
Getting close to that woman is completely unsafe. His feelings are not just like, he is afraid that his crazy passion will be provoked.
Kendrick's not that good. He had a dark past, like a burning fire. He was afraid his soul was burning.
His eyes focused on the screen displaying Kirana's figure. “Can I hope this time to someone's wife?”
