First Wife's Last Tears
Curhatan Lisna
El's car arrived first in front of Lisna's contract, not long after the angkot that was boarded by Lisna also stopped at the intersection of the alley to his city house. The alley is wide, fit for car drivers to enter, it's just angkot or taxi is just dropping off at the crossroad.
Lisna stepped over while groaning to endure the pain of the wound on her knee that was constantly exposed to the friction of her plisket skirt. Actually Lisna could have lifted the skirt to above her knees if only the leging she wore in the skirt was not torn.
"Sir Lisna!"
The voice surprised Lisna. He couldn't believe El was standing in front of him and his car was parked right in front of his contract.
"El.. do you want to ask for a car damage compensation bill and also a hospital bill?"
The handsome man sighed, he had no idea how that woman could think that way.
"Why did you run away from the hospital?" El stepped forward closer and closer to Lisna.
"Why don't you wait until you come?" El's steps drew closer, until the distance between the two was very close and it made Lisna uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, El. But I have a very important business." Lisna replied while stepping back and forth to give some distance between herself and the Eagle.
The Junior High boy now turned out to have grown tall even much higher than him, so he had to look up to be able to look at the face of the Eagle.
"What kind of deal is more important than the state of a scarred brother like this!"
"You won't understand, El. It's an adult business."
El chuckled at the words.
"Do you think I'm still a kid?"
"It's not so El, but.."
Lisna's words stopped, suddenly her mind was reminded of her husband who might be looking for his whereabouts at this time.
"Go El, please don't look for me again. Give my regards to Aunt Nita. Tell him I'm fine and thank you for being so kind to me, when I stole Aunt Nita's money." Explained.
"Sister didn't steal the money. The money was going to be given to my sister, but she just disappeared and could never be found anywhere as if she was hiding from us."
"I was hiding on purpose, El. I'm ashamed, I dare not show my face in front of you after daring to take away the money that is quite a lot in my opinion. I was in the middle of that time, El. I had no choice and I spent five years returning the money to Aunt Nita. I'm ashamed.."
"So, is it really brother who slipped the money on the door of the house seven years ago?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Mama's money has been received. So, stop avoiding mama, brother. Mama already thinks of sister as her own daughter."
"No El, I don't deserve the affection of anyone. So please don't see me again."
Lisna stepped back, she went towards the direction of the highway. The destination is the Wulan house. But before Lisna steps away, without any care, El cradles Lisna's body and puts it in her car.
"What the fuck are you, El. I'm not the cheap woman you can touch as you please!" Lisna cried out in anger and was about to get out of the car.
But the car door couldn't be opened, El locked it tight.
"I'm sorry, brother. I just couldn't see my brother step up like that." Said El who started the car.
"Down me El. I have to go."
"I'll take Lisna wherever you want."
The car eventually drove off, leaving a narrow alleyway leading to the highway.
"Where is sister's goal?"
Lisna did not answer. He stared quietly out of the car. The day has begun to twilight and he has missed the prayer of zuhr, asar and now maybe magrib-pun will pass too. This is the first time Lisna has spent prayer time since the last seven years, when she decided to wear the hijab.
"If you don't say the address you want to go to, I'll take you home to see you." Threatened to make Lisna want to talk to him.
"Take me to my husband's second wife's house." Lisna.
El is shocked to hear Lisna asking to be delivered to her husband's second wife's house.
"Aren't you married?"
Lisna nodded. The eagle also nodded in the end.
"It should be true. After all I am now almost twenty-eight years old, meaning sister Lisna.." She tried to calculate Lisna's age based on her observations.
"Sister thirty-one, right?" Guess it.
Lisna did not respond. He was getting uncomfortable because the boy kept babbling.
"Mmm, it's only natural that Lisna's sister is married. But, brother's husband has two wives? Sister in polygamy dong.."
"Today is my husband's wedding day with that woman." Lisna.
He just told El, whereas before Lisna was very closed about the problems of her household to others.
"Is that woman more beautiful than my sister?"
"Sure she's beautiful, but what interests my husband is not her beauty."
"Then because of what? The treasure.the woman is rich."
"Yes, he's rich. That's one of the reasons."
"Is there another reason?"
"He can give my husband a son. While I'm not."
Lisna's reply made the Eagle speechless. She understood now why Lisna's husband had remarried.
"How long has my sister been married to that man?"
"Seven years."
"So it's been that long, and sister still can't get pregnant.."
"Yes." Yeah." Lisna smiled bitterly, there was a pain in her heart when she heard again the fact that she could not get pregnant after seven years of marriage.
"Aunty Nita shouldn't have addressed me that night. Look, I'm alive now but, no one really loves me. Mama's the same my papa's right, I'm useless in any case."
Tears dripped from his eyes. Lisna turned her gaze out of the car, she did not mean to show her tears in front of another man.
"Then why do you survive if your husband does not give you the affection you want?"
"He gave it to her at that time. But, since I couldn't get pregnant, she was forced to marry another woman who could get pregnant in order to comply with her mother's wishes."
Lisna still continued to answer El's question, although her gaze continued to look outside the car.
"Forget what I said from the beginning, El. Suppose you never heard this story. I hope you and Aunt Nita stop looking for me." His decree asserts.
"So calm down. I will forget what I heard today. But, I can't promise not to see sister anymore."
After that conversation, the mood went back to silence. El continues to focus on driving his car until he arrives at the address Lisna was referring to.
The atmosphere of the front of the house seemed messy because the rest of the wedding party was yesterday afternoon. The place was quiet and quiet again as before.
Lisna got off El's car without saying any words. He just kept going down, then stepped through the gate and into the magnificent mansion.
El stared from inside his car until Lisna's back completely disappeared from his gaze. Then he continued his journey to the shooting location where he worked. Because the Eagle is a serious man who works as a male magazine model. In addition, he is also a CEO at PT Jati center where PT Jati branch office is located.
"It turns out the world is still too vast for me to find her existence." Muttered Eagle.
