Become Him
Not the farm

The morning began to say hello, the sun seemed to begin to shine. Rindy woke up from her sleep and stared at the side of the bed that Anand used to occupy.

"Didn't he go back to the room? Where did he sleep?"muttered Rindy who saw the usual place Anand was lying still neat. Rindy sat pensively, leaning on the dashboard of the bed.

Recalling Anand's words last night, Rindy's heart became indecisive. There is still love for Rio in his heart, but it is also undeniable if he also starts to like Anand. The attention, love, and affection that Anand had been giving her all this time slowly made her melt. But when remembering so many women who had warmed her husband's bed, Rindy's heart refused to accept Anand.

Supposedly as a human, Rindy realized, that in this world nothing is perfect, except song titles. So does Anand who has a dark past. Doesn't every human being make mistakes? But God always forgives.

Bang Haji said, the man was the wrong place and forgot. Some realize their mistake and correct it, others realize their mistake, but continue to sin. It all depends on the individual.

But if the perfect God is willing to forgive, why do we who are just imperfect servants do not want to forgive? If God alone gives his servant a chance to change for the better, then why do we who are just ordinary people not give that opportunity to others?

Rindy got out of her bed and headed to the bathroom to clean herself up. After finishing the bath and putting on clothes, Rindy went to the dining room. But in the dining room, Rindy also did not see Anand.

"Sir, did you see my husband?"rindy asked the middle-aged woman who was serving her.

"In the morning, Master has already left for work, Madam," said the middle-aged woman.

Hearing the answer from ART at home, Rindy became silent. Somehow Rindy felt Anand was avoiding her. Anand did not sleep in their room last night, and this morning had already left for the office.

***

Days have changed and it has not been a week since Anand said he would divorce Rindy. Since a week ago, Rindy had never met Anand. Anand always comes home at night and leaves early in the morning. Anand no longer sleeps one room with Rindy, but sleeps in another.

Frankly, there was something empty in Rindy's heart because of Anand's attitude, which changed during this week. No more affectionate calls greeting his listeners. No more Anand who always hugged her from behind warmly while she slept. There was also no attention that Anand usually gave to him.

That morning Rindy decided to go home to her parents. The driver that Anand prepared for Rindy was always to deliver Rindy wherever Rindy wanted. A few minutes later, Rindy arrived at her parents' house. Rindy looks silently pecking beside her car.

"Rin! You home? Come inside!"said Rindy's mother with a warm smile. At the sound of the car door being closed, Rindy's mother came straight out of the house and was delighted when she saw her daughter coming home.

Rindy who had been silent next to her car also commented a smile when she saw her mother. They entered the house and sat in the living room.

"Mom, why is the front neighbor so noisy?"rindy asked when she got into the house.

When he got out of the car, Rindy heard a noise from the house in front of their house. The sounds of male and female quarrels, as well as the sound of the child crying sounded so rowdy. There was the sound of crying boys and also the sound of crying babies from inside the house.

"Oh, that. They were the grabbing of the gono-gini treasure," said Rindy's mother who let out a long sigh staring at the house in front of her house.

"They're divorced?"rindy asked as she scrunched her forehead.

"Yes. Mom really loves her. I feel like my husband is very selfish. They divorced without thinking about their children. Listen then! Even now their children are crying but they are still fighting. Mothers and neighbors had tried to knock on their doors out of pity to hear their children crying, but we were instead chased away by them" Rindy's mother said, displaying a helpless expression.

"What a pity," muttered Rindy staring at the house in front of her house.

"From what you read, divorce results in a lack of attention and parental affection for the child. Divorce of parents will cause feelings of anxiety, confusion, restlessness, shame and sadness for children. Especially for teenagers, children will experience emotional disorders and will run on juvenile delinquency and drugs. Divorce can also increase the risk of mental health problems in children and adolescents. Regardless of age, gender, and culture, children of divorced parents experience an increase in psychological problems,"

"You don't be like them, yeah, Rin! Whatever your problem is with Anand, talk about it carefully. Do not let your child become a victim of divorce. I don't want my granddaughter to have a stepmother" said Rindy's mother, making Rindy's chest feel tight. His left hand rubbed his enlarged stomach. His right hand squeezed the sofa cushion.

If Anand remarries, his son will have a stepmother. Not to mention if Anand has a child from his new wife, maybe his son will not get enough love from Anand. Thinking about all that made Rindy's chest tight.

"Prong"

"Prong"

The sound of objects being thrown was heard from the house in front of Rindy's house.

"Why so noisy, anyway! Just disturb people to sleep. Got a neighbor really, so amethyst, "jefri grumbled out of his room. Jefri awakens to a noise from his neighbor's house. His hair was disheveled and his eyes looked sleepy.

"His name also lives in the village, Jef. It's common for neighbors to storm. Anyway, it's Jef's day, you should have been up from earlier" said Rindy's mother.

"I'm so tired, Mom. Yesterday from out of town looking for a meat and vegetable supplier for our restaurant. Our restaurant is getting more advanced, so the ingredients of the cuisine also need more and more. After all, the neighbors are not tired of anything, every day fighting. Husband and wife are not really all," grumbled Jefri whose sleep is disturbed.

"What was their problem, so they decided to get divorced, Mom?"ask the curious Rindy.

"Her husband complained because his wife often refused when invited to have sex with husband and wife. When her husband cheated on her, she went on a rampage and asked for a divorce. That's what you know because you heard their quarrel" replied Rindy's mother.

"Because, why does his wife refuse when her husband asks to be served. Don't know what he is? Sinning for a wife who refused to serve her husband, "Jefri's snatch made Rindy feel slapped.

"Maybe his wife's a soybean. His wife takes care of the house without anyone helping, not to mention having to take care of their two children. Taking care of two toddlers is not easy. But also must not continue to refuse to serve the husband on the grounds of tired,"

"They should talk about their problems well. Divorce is not only about two people, but two families. Especially if you already have children like them, pity their children," said Rindy's mother seemed to regret the decision of their neighbors.

Rindy was speechless at the words of her mother and sister. The words of her mother and sister were so striking in her heart.

He often refused if Anand asked for his rights. Anand always met all his needs. Rindy makes Anand submit to hang on with her because of her cold demeanor. Guilt suddenly struck his heart. Rindy felt like she had been a selfish woman all along.
