Bia, the Substitute Mother
A talaq!

But fate says something else. When your love is hoping for a reply but all you get is an ingrained wound.

~Bia Quinsa Altafunisha's

"Don't!" Bia said with a plea.

The wound in his heart now. But the love is still just as big. Bia knows she's wrong. Bia knows Shaka's anger because of her. Therefore how Shaka now, Bia chose silence.

Those painful words deeply drew him. Everything Shaka said was very painful. But love is still love.

"Don't pretend to defend me!" Shaka said furiously.

"Keep away from us, Bi!" Said Dhira who was suddenly between Bia and Shaka.

The woman looked at Bia with a slanted smile. Shaka who was behind him at that time certainly could not see how the smiling face of Dhira was so devious.

"I didn't think you were like this, Bi," Lirih Dhira mendrama. "I thought, your clothes are like this, you're a good woman. So I asked Mas Shaka to marry you and have a baby for me and Mas Shaka."

Dhira really plays the role well. His voice that made one he was disappointed was so heavy it sounded disgusting in Semi's ears.

"Seeing this behavior of yours, I think again," continued Dhira slowly. "Is this child in your womb really your son and Mas Shaka?"

"Mom!" Screeched Bia with sharp bulging eyes.

Breath Bia kembis. He really felt angry and his chest rumbled. He really did not expect that the already hot situation was even more heated by his elder brother.

"I don't do that often. I. i… "

"It's not that bad, but your behavior illustrates how real you are, Bi!" Sela Dhira is serious. "Women and men in one house and deserted."

"Sure anything can be done!"

Plaque.

He was known by himself. It's known how rotten he is. But he did not feel guilty.

What kind of man is Dhira in the mind, Bia.

"Bi!" Shaka Shouted not Accept.

He advanced before Dhira and held the hand of Bia who had slapped Dhira.

"You!"

"What!" Bia cried with a fight.

He stared at the two eyeballs of Shaka who was staring at him as well. Sharp and cold look. No more warm looks. There was no more shining eyes that he often saw there.

"Why are you angry? If you're not right, you don't have to be this angry. Are you afraid that what Dhira says is true?" Shaka asked spicyly which made Bia's congested heart stop beating.

The woman was completely shocked by Shaka's change in attitude. He really can't believe that just the ramblings of Dhira managed to make Shaka like this.

"You really changed. You've been with me for a long time. But do you believe what you see?" Said Bia tiredly. "You should ask first, Mom. Not angry. You… "

"Enough!" Shaka quickly shouted. "Just cover your rotten attitude behind your good clothes."

Shaka actually said that with eyes filled with disappointment. It seems jealousy is growing. The anger that filled him made him dark in the eyes.

"Mas!"

"I don't want to hear your words anymore!" Shaka said furiously.

Bia just shut up. He's just waiting. Waiting for what else her husband will say.

"I'm your talaq now, Bi! We're not husband and wife anymore!" Shaka said loudly while staring at the surprised Bia instead of playing.
