Episode 5: Talak

Realizing that the father was confused, while Fina was still trying to keep Fitri's feelings and Bian's father who drove them, the newly married young woman immediately took a stand.

Fina who cleared her throat then said, “Bian's room is narrow, sir. Too many items including gifts. So I'm gonna sleep in my room first. First of all, Bian wanted to come. But he fell asleep. You know, right, Bian when you're asleep, having a hard time?”

Hearing the reason Fina said, Raswin became a little relieved. Nevertheless, regardless of what basis, Fina's return made her heart wary. Even the pain also twisted his heart.

Moreover, whether on what basis, he who usually always overslept and is typical easy to sleep, it is not constantly hit by anxiety. It even occurred to Raswin, whether his decision forced Fina to marry Bian wrong?

Fina immediately stood behind Raswin, facing Fitri following Pakde Bian. While commenting on the smile despite the pain in his heart did not decrease at all, ua said, “Bu, I slept first. I slept too, yeah. I'm sure, I must be tired. Oh, yes, Pakde. Thanks, yes,” said Fina later, still trying to melt the atmosphere.

Fitri reviewed the smile. Deep down, she was unceasingly grateful because Fina was so wise and willing to hold her chest, covering up Bian's mistakes. Not wrong, he chose Fina as his daughter-in-law and companion Bian. “Beautiful dreams, yes, Na!” he said taking off Fina who immediately nodded.

“Yes already, Mas Raswin, we say goodbye first. Sorry the nights are disturbing. I assure you, next time this incident will not happen again.” Fitri deliberately pleasantries.

Raswin nodded stiffly because his heart seemed to rebel, rejecting the facts given by Fitri and Fina. “Iya, Fit. Good night,” reply ended the togetherness.

After Fitri and Pakde Bian left, Raswin gradually closed the door. While Fina who was behind him also returned alone. Although Raswin wanted to go back to ask Fina for an explanation, but the man actually felt more guilty.

So, Raswin was forced to take Fina off and let her daughter into the room. Raswin himself still could not sleep, even though he forced, closed his eyes while curled up next to Pure who suddenly also opened his eyes.

“Pak, I can't sleep too?” tanya Murni.

Raswin who was curled up before him nodded uninspiredly. Then, her husband's gaze crept up until he finally met her gaze.

“I feel very guilty, Mom, to Fina. How, we seem so evil, yes, as long as you accept the proposal and force Fina to marry Bian?” said Raswin full of regrets and still not excited.

Pure nodded and looked very agitated. “Tadi, all day let alone fit ijab qobul, Bian looks no intention, sir. Fina also seemed unhappy. The one, Fina looks very depressed.”

“This day, Fina and Bian look very foreign. Those who are usually very familiar, even more often silent.”

“Not to mention, rumors from the people, .. they assume Fina is pregnant with Bian's child and accidentally snatch Bian from Lia.” Pure said all her teasing while covered in tears.

Along with that, deep in his memory was also decorated with memories of today's events, like everything he had just said.

Regarding Bian who looks no intention of marrying Fina. The obvious Bian was forced to marry their daughter. Also, Fina who looks just pretended to be happy and looks already hard-difficult to keep up with Bian.

Apart from that, which made Murni even sicker, nothing else about the rumors of Fina who was rumored to be pregnant with Bian's child and accidentally snatched Bian from Lia. Isn't Fina the real victim? Why is it Lia who is predicted as a victim and is very pitied?

Raswin gulped and inexplicably felt very bitter just because he heard Pure's story that made him remember the events of today. As Pure said, for Bian, .. what that child is doing especially today, is very disappointing. Not to mention about Fina who suddenly went home without Bian, and that made Raswin even more unsettled.

“Already, Mom, we pray the best for Fina. Wishing you all the best love for Fina.” Raswin wiped the Pure tears.

Purely nodding, assuring her husband's confidence. Raswin himself deliberately did not tell about Fina's return. He did not want his wife to be more anxious even finally depressed.

As the parents who had made Fina enter the marriage, whereas what Bian did greatly disappointed them, making Raswin and Pure feel very guilty.

Pure and Raswin felt very responsible as well as afraid, Bian could not treat Fina well. Not to mention, all this time, Bian was involved in loving Lia very much. However, would their regret be able to guarantee Fina's happiness?

In her room, Fina was awake, sitting in the middle of the mattress while bending her knees. In her silence, Fina poured all her sadness through tears that seemed to never break.

“Although we're married, but I can't possibly love you, Na!” Bian's words were unceasingly bright in Fina's memory and it further hurt Fina.

“Hopefully, such words will not be repeated, yes Bi. Next, we will return as before. We will be a lasting family and only death can separate, Fina's inner” while looking down, keeping her face above both knees that she bends.

Early in the morning, besides not being able to sleep, Fina deliberately cleaned up. He does housework. From sweeping the floor, wash the following pottery pile of clothes in the bathroom, and lastly cook. After everything was done, Fina immediately took a shower and prepared to go to school to teach. She has not forgotten her duty as a wife. So, before leaving, Fina deliberately went to Bian's house.

“Kok, can Fina be at home? Who opens the door?” tanya Murni was astonished and indeed did not have time to ask directly to Fina who hurriedly said goodbye.

Pure frowned. “Well, who to hold? I also did not open the door for your mother, you know, Rin?” He looked at the astonished Rina who had left him. Her daughter entered the kitchen.

“Maybe Father, Mom,” said Rina who suddenly just exclaimed, “eh ... everything is neat, you know, Mom. Earthenware, cooking, floors are also clean. Well, clothes have also been sun dried!”

What Lina said was true. Everything was fine and it must have been Fina. Purely sure of it. However, if it was Raswin who opened the door for Fina, she should know, especially since her husband entered the room, Pure also still had difficulty sleeping.

However, time, yes, Fina came home before Raswin to the room? And if that's the case, in other words, Fina actually slept at home? Sleeping at home with Bian?

Thinking of Fina sleeping at home without Bian, the two slept separately, making Pure even more stressful. Why does Bian still not want to give up, even though Fina has sacrificed a lot?

***

It was still half six in the morning, when Fina reached Bian's house and it happened that the door had already been opened. Two middle-aged ptia as Pakde Bian is also enjoying black coffee while eating the rest of the pacitan at the table. Both of them immediately greeted Fina with a smile and were replied to the same thing by Fina.

“Again, Pakde?” greet Fina later. Fina was already wearing a green long-sleeved batik as her teaching uniform that was betrothed to a black long skirt. A black tote bag adorned his shoulders, while in his right hand were several maps following textbooks.

Which makes Fina relieved, none other than having just knocked twice on the door of Bian's room, the door has been opened from the inside. Bianlah the culprit and it was immediately greeted enthusiastically by Fina. The man who had been his best friend, always a place to complain, is now his husband.

This also makes Fina's heart become flowery. Fina felt much safer, because in other words, there would be someone protecting her more than anyone even her own parents. In addition, Fina had also found her place to depend on as well as devote herself.

“You're awake? Today, what do you want for breakfast?” sergeant Fina while Bian had already entered.

“Key the door,” pinta Bian while continuing to walk without turning his head or glancing at Fina.

Fina did Bian's orders. Closing and locking the door, then following Bian who was already sitting on the edge of the mattress.

As he said last night, in Biam's room was full of gifts for Fina following their wedding gifts. Only, regarding the narrowness of Bian's room, certainly not entirely true, because Bian's bed was twice-folded from the bed in Fina's room.

“Overnight, I really couldn't sleep,” Bian said.

Fina lowered her bag and placed it on Bian's bed. Also with the following map of the book that Fina originally approached. Everything is placed next to the bag.

“If you don't sleep last night, then you should have heard me with your waking mother, dong?” said Fina looking at Bian while frowning.

Bian nodded then turned his head and looked at Fina. This made Fina wonder even more. What was the reason Bian ignored her even ignoring his own mother?

Fina deliberately sighed softly following soaked her sizzling lips to dampen the tension that instantly mingled with annoyance. He continued to look at Bian, waiting for further explanation from the man.

“I can't go on with all this, Na!” bian said with regret while shaking his head. He looked at Fina with confidence.

Fina who that second also became sad again said, “we try first. Been already. If indeed you are not sure, it is from the beginning, not now.”

Bian brushed off Fina's gaze and clearly did not expect the reply to come out of the mouth of his interlocutor.

“I don't demand anything. We are quite husband and wife. If it is still difficult now, we should do it for the sake of parents. Their good name.” Fina's tone of voice was really soft at once.

Bian looked back at Fina. “Before everything gets too far away, Na. Right now, I'm your talaq.”

Bian's reply succeeded in making Fina numb and even shed tears. Fina stared in disbelief at the man next to her.

“I'm sure, you know why I did this. I'm really not ready. Lia's loss alone, has made me very devastated,” Bian's rag that looks so tormented, as if, all the burdens of the inhabitants of life are bestowed on him, to the extent that, the, the man felt the most pain just because he was left married by Lia. In fact, clearly Lia had betrayed Bian.

“Then what about me?” said Fina while looking at Bian full of certainty.

“Bi, please, ... From now on, you also think of me. I am your legal wife, while Lia is just your ex, your past, so you don't come from talaq!”

Although still saying soft words, but Fina was really angry. “And the reason your parents asked me to be your wife is because Lia is already married to another man. Because Lia's pregnant with another boy! And if you're looking for who's the victim? I am your victim!” Fina looked at Bian full of warning.

Again, Bian brushed it off and seemed to deliberately avoid the reality following Fina's demands. The contrast from Bian that Fina had known all along.
