For A Husband Who Doesn't Love Me
34. Ballpoint pen

Just two days Hidayat came home from the hospital, and now he looks well. Maira looked at him with a hesitant look, as if there was something she wanted to convey.

"What's wrong?" Hidayat asked who was very understanding with his wife's gaze.

"Abang's been a lot better, right?" Reply Maira asked, still with a probing gaze.

"It's been... Maira needs something from Brother?"

"Yes, but Maira will be sad if you don't grant it..." Nod Maira with a manyun lip.

"Where can you tell if you can do it or not if Maira hasn't said it yet?" Hidayat said as he pulled Maira's head gently into his chest.

"Anything is capable..." Maira answered while playing the buttons of Hidayat's shirt.

"okay... If you can, you will fulfill it..." Hidayat Pledge.

"Promise?"

"Yes, promise... What was it before?" Hidayat.

"Emmm... Brother don't be mad, yeah..."

"Where can you be angry with Maira?" Hidayat replied while peeping Maira's head wrapped in a headscarf many times.

"Maira's... Emm... Maira wants us... Emm..." Maira still sounded hesitant to express her wishes to Hidayat.

Hidayat. He pulled back the face of Maira who was hiding in his chest, then looked closely at the beautiful face of his wife who looked nervous.

"Maira what do you want? Justsaytheword... Brother will not be angry, nor will God help him..." Say Hidayat patiently.

"Maira, um... Maira wants us to go to Kiran's sister..."

"Huh? Didn't you hear wrong?" Hidayat asked who was surprised to hear his wife's request.

"Pity of Kiran... He just lost his father, Bang... And said bang Arya, brother Kiran can not be spoken to by anyone at this time... Bang Arya actually really wanted to ask Brother to go there, but because Abang entered the hospital, Arya bang so snuffed... Also it seems like bang Arya is feeling bad about Maira..." Maira.

"Want to do it, right? Please..." Pinta Maira pleads.

"Sorry, Mai, if you object to this..." Reject Hidayat.

"But, Bang..."

"No, Mai... Don't force Brother... This is not true..." Hidayat insisted on his refusal.

"Dude..." Maira looked at Hidayat with full supplication.

"No, Mai... Brother no longer wants to deal with him..." Hidayat refused his wife's wishes.

Maira crying. Her heart was so saddened by the circumstances in which she tried sincerely to do for good, although on the other hand she would be hurt by him, but it was opposed by her own husband.

Hidayat dilemma. He really did not want any more business with Kirana, but Maira's coercion made him hesitate.

"Maira, listen to Brother..." Pinta Hidayat.

"Breakin' bad..." Maira sniffled.

"Astaghfirullah hal'azhiim's... Maira, Abang just doesn't want any more misunderstandings between us because of him... Maira must know, right, how stubborn Kirana would be if it was about Brother? I don't want that night to happen again..." Said Hidayat still kekeh in his defense.

"Then, why have you been lying to Maira so far if you don't finish everything with Brother Kiran? Maira was sure that this was more painful for Kiran than for Abang to be honest from the start... And also, Maira would never feel at ease if there was another woman who was real-life Maira knew she had a taste for Maira's husband..." Ketus Maira looked at Hidayat with disappointment.

"May..."

"But, Mai..."

"Yes, Bang, huh? Please..." Maira clasped both her hands begging. While his tears did not subside, making Hidayat bowed.

***

Kirana shuts herself in her father's old disused workspace. He looks so sad since getting news about his father's death, plus heartbroken over Hidayat's rejection a few nights ago.

He bowed languidly in the low light of the lamp, like there was no more spirit of life in him.

"Dad, why not be patient for a moment waiting for Kiran to bring Daddy to go abroad for treatment? Kiran again spent money on Dad's treatment, and it all went to waste..." Isak Kirana's.

Kirana. A pen that he had gifted to his father was still on his desk. He who knows the function of the pen immediately connects it to the laptop.

How surprised Kirana saw SPY CAM has a video recording of a dispute between her father and her stepmother several years ago when her father was still healthy.

Kirana's chest of kembis knew all the crimes that her stepmother had done to her father.

^^^

Kirana's father activates the spy cam he just received from Kirana as his birthday present. He smiled proudly at the small, pen-shaped object.

"Have my daughter..." Pleased speech. "Okay, I'll show you how you work while you rest... You won't be tired, son... I've always taken care of my health here, and so have you there, okay..."

The phone on his right side rang, he turned his head for a moment and then turned back to face the camera.

"Wait a minute, I have a phone..." He stood behind his chair to answer the call.

His originally cheerful face turned tense when he had just placed his phone in his ear. "You who? Don't give false news about my family..."

Simultaneously Kirana's stepmother came in with a cup of coffee for her, and spontaneously turned to the face full of anger that emanated on her face.

"Why do you see Mom that?" Ask his wife in fear.

"Who's the child?" Kirana's father immediately asked in a flat tone but kept a huge anger inside her chest.

"Why ask?" Said his wife nervous and trembling body.

"Jawab, whose son is Ayu?" The birthday of Kirana's father asked in a loud rebuking voice, making the woman startled by the reflex of closing her eyes.

Kirana's father clasped his wife's arm, then stared fiercely in anger. "Let's test Ayu's DNA. He was not my son, I told you, and there would be no treasure for you or your son..."

Stepmother Kirana was stunned. She pulled her arm, which was firmly blocked by her own husband, struggling to be released.

"Detach, Dad... Ayu your son..." Rintih Stepmom Kirana freaked out.

"How dare you deceive me just for the sake of treasure! Just look what's gonna happen to you..." Threaten Kirana's father while walking to get out of his study.

Kirana's stepmother looks panicked. He turned to his left and right sides, then looked at the ceramic vase located on the table. He hurriedly took the vase and then hit Kirana's father's head on the back until the vase broke and scattered on the floor.

Kirana's father held her head that felt heavy, and before long her body collapsed.
