FATE AND DESTINY
28.EMPOWER ME

I don't feel like the days are passing. Alika content age has entered two months. Alika felt such great cravings that she did not want to eat rice and did not want to eat anything. Because given food will come out again from his stomach. Alika entered the stage of her cravings alone without being accompanied by her husband. Alika did not want to eat rice, when she saw the rice made her feel nauseous. Alika just wants to eat instant noodles and vegetables that are fruiting. But what power of his desire was hindered by his finances that he never got. So that Alika ventured to owe in the food stall next to her house in order to fill her stomach. Because the debt has been piled up, I do not dare to owe it again until the one who has a stall charges it to the mother-in-law.

"Alika! Alikaayo!" Shouted tajudin from the outside approaching alika in her room.

"Gubra!"

Tajudin opened the door of his room violently to make the door hit the wall. Alika was strangled so shocked because of the tajudin.

"Wake you! Here!" Tajudin snapped his hand violently until alika would stagger forward.

"What the hell are you angry about? I'm pregnant!" Pekik alika with her trembling body tried to brave herself.

"Now I ask you! Why do you owe me at the mother's stall to seventy-five thousand! You have alika's husband! Don't embarrass your husband!" Shouted tajudin with a dead red face staring at the sharp alika.

"What! You said you were embarrassed? Don't you have a brain? I don't want to eat rice! If I eat rice all my stomach contents come back out! I want to eat vegetables! It's your baby's will. Not my own desire! Realize you never gave me a dime. All the money you're looking for you leave it to your mother! Listen carefully, will ya? Your mother still has a husband who can meet her needs! Then what do you think of me as? Huh!" Shouting alika sobbed out all her heart.

"Mom gave you money every week! Why do you still owe so much?" Firm tajudin with a high tone.

"Yes your mother gave me money every week. The money he gave was only twenty thousand for one week! And told me to skimp! Am I a Kindergarten kid that one week's money should be enough? If you can't give me the money? Why did you marry me? Get me back to my parents' house now!" Shouting hysterically, she seemed to feel crazy for a long time at her husband's house.

The two of them continued to argue until tajudin's father came to talk to make Alika more emotional. Alika was frustrated to feel depressed at her husband's house. He continues to be pressured not to do what they are forbidden and must obey what they ask. As if Alika had become a slave to her husband like in the royal life.

***

The day of Alika is always filled with tears without any happiness one day. As if fate was playing tricks on him. Alika content age has entered three months. Alika is still trying to stay strong and patient for the sake of the baby in her womb. Alika every day doing her activities like a maid without rest. Because her husband doesn't allow alika to rest during the day.

"Yes, we peeled the coffee at my house. Make it more comfortable!" Said dariyah on biyung amin the mother of dariyah.

"Your son-in-law's kasian. He'll be tired of cleaning your house!" Sahut biyung amin did not have the heart to see the tired alika.

"PRAAAKKHH"

Dariyah spread the coffee that she harvested on the floor that was still wet because it had just been mop by alika according to her in-laws wishes. When alika entered after cleaning her mop in the bathroom she was surprised by three mothers who had made her floor dirty again like mud exposed to rain. There was even a child who played running around making his foot spots stick on the floor everywhere. Alika wanted to scream and grab her in-laws' hair and twist it until it was smashed against the wall. His heart ached like a hot dagger that was burned. The mother-in-law who should be respected made Alika hate him and always rubbed her stomach while shedding her tears.

"Oh Allah, robbi.. Make me face a mother-in-law like that." Muttered alika by dripping her tears without her noticing. "Son! If you are born later do not let you have a nature like your grandmother this one huh?" Alika muttered down rubbing her stomach which was still heard by herself.

Alika who had been tired all day doing nonstop activities finally collapsed her body on the mattress and flooded it with tears. Alika continued to sob considering the behavior of her mother-in-law who never appreciated her as a daughter-in-law. When Alika was crying in the room she was surprised by the arrival of tajudin who opened the door violently.

"Alika! Why did you sleep in the room? Lookit. The floor is dirty so why don't you mop? Even sleep in the room! Here you! Hurry up the floor mop now! You lazy wife. His job is just sleeping!" Shouted tajudin dragging alika out.

"I've already mopped it! But your mother brought coffee to peel it barefoot which finally made the floor dirty again! Don't blame me dong! Blame your mother for cleaning it!" Pekik alika ventured to defend herself.

"Where's mom? He's in the garden looking for firewood! I met him on the street. Don't complain between me and my mom?" Say tajudin in his high tone.

"Oh Allah, robbi. What kind of husband did you give me, God? Even he thinks of me as a robot whose body never gets tired! I can't stand all this, Robbi!" Muttered alika inwardly staring intently at the tajudin who was still scolding her.

Alika's body collapsed to the floor and cried without listening to the ear-shrinking tajudin babble. Alika doesn't know how to deal with her husband anymore.

"Haven't drama to cry like that! I know you've only been sleeping all day because you're lazy to do all this! Now the mop! I'll wait in front until you're done cleaning it!" Tell tajudin harshly to alika who seemed to be his slave.

Alika stood up and mopped the floor until her waist ached and ached. Alika's body trembled because she did not eat rice. He only ate boiled cassava until it felt full. Alika mopped while shedding her tears. It was as if she wanted to kill her husband who had treated her like a maid for nothing.
