JUST FRACTURE
CHAPTER 10

Unlike a few days ago, Mr. Marjuki left the house without telling. Today was different, he said to his wife to see his rice field somewhere, accompanied by Amir, a young man who was usually hired to bring his luxury car.

The same is that Patimah should not come even though Patimah several times said she wanted to accompany him, worried about anything happening to her husband.

"No, don't worry, there's Amir. You better walk with Bi Isah, buy clothes or something, do not stay home, later old man overtake father, want ,? " Take Mr. Marjuki's answer, with his shoulder Patimah up to the page.

"Mr go first huh ? Asalamualikum."

"Alaikum salam'" replied Patimah as she continued to accompany her husband to the car sitting in the back seat. He also closed the door. It did not move from there until the car was no longer visible, disappearing into the distance. He then went inside again to see Bi Isah sweeping the backyard.

After that, she went into the room, falling down while thinking about her husband's attitude lately. I don't know, Mr. Marjuki often looks at him more than usual, if chatting as if, like keeping something covered up. What is feared by Patimah, her husband felt another pain that people should not know.

Meanwhile Mr. Marjuki did not see the rice fields as an excuse to his wife, but to the house of Tini his eldest daughter. There is also Tina the youngest, her son who is closest to Patimah.

Tina indeed today was deliberately told to come to Tini's house by Mr. Marjuki, there will be a family problem

"So this is it, Son. I want to talk about your mom and dad, Patimah "

After the three of them gathered on the living room sofa, Mr. Marjuki started the conversation.

"Dad was worried for a long time, about having to react to it. ", Mr. Marjuki kept silent for a while, looking at his two children who from the beginning seemed willing to react

"What happened to Mama Ema ?

Have you started acting like you're hurting dad ?"

Sure enough Tini the eldest immediately asked

"No, too far roast than fire. Your mama stays that way, taking care of all your father needs. The problem is not from him, but from his own father"

"What's dad, anyway? Want to get married again ? Don't be, Dad. Dad is getting older, besides dad is now much changed from before dad married mom, huh?"

Tini returned to comment.

"Yes right, dad may have changed a lot, dad so remember God, dad so hard at home. But that's what's a problem for me ?"

"Any," said Tina now he who interrupts

"Yes, it might be weird, Tina. Because you do not feel the phase of ignorance to know. About the rights and obligations of the father as a husband to his wife" Mr. Marjuki replied calmly, sipping tea water in front of him.

"Having married him for three more years and he took good care of him, placing him as a priest equal to the king, because he served him sincerely, selflessly because of his belief in his religion, that devoting oneself to her husband is the primary worship "

Mr. Marjuki is silent again. He felt himself now becoming so sensitive and easily shed tears. Also Tini and Tina who are also silent, imagine the mother continued so much sacrifice for her father, even though he was too young to accompany his father, the mother he deserved like himself, likes shopping, shopping, he likes to walk wherever he likes.

"Keep how ?" Tini broke the momentary silence. His father looked glum looking at the ceiling

"The right and obligation, son, if the nature of your mother can be bought, I will buy as expensive as any price. As long as the father takes his wife, the new father can meet his external needs even with money that is not how much. But his bath needs ? Never once fulfilled it, not unwilling, but because the father is not able since the father's diabetes acute?"

Mr. Marjuki sobbed, he was too sensitive to talk about his wife.

Tini and Tina had their tongues clenched, as they hugged their father, the father who had been far away was no longer as formal and grumpy as he once was. Now they feel that their father is fragile. The three of them hugged while crying. Tina and Tini feel sorry, because her father was late to find her mother.

After long hugging, they sat back but not as separated as before, but flanking his father in the middle.

Suddenly Tini and Tina felt so comfortable leaning on the left right shoulder of her father.

"Keep what's dad's plan ?" Finally Tini began again to ask, next to her father's face with a wet tissue on the table.

"Father's plan is to divorce your mother, a form of paternal affection for her, by freeing her from attachment. It's appropriate that he's happy with my children."

There is a smart outside, the light goes inside, like a blitz light on the camera when kneaded, as shiny as making the eyes of Tini and Tina wide. They both pinched his skin, thinking what he heard was just a dream.

********************************************

True said people, the woman if alone then the surrounding quiet, both whispers, more than that, noisy !

As in the sorting place of vegetables and fruits, the factory owned by Subarkah, seen five or maybe six female workers, were working sorting, interspersed with a light chat hose

"Yes if he comes here again, it is still not polite we are just naked he rame-rame "

Said the one at the north end, giggling.

It turned out that they were talking about Nenti who was preaching to them, was the girl from the city who was chasing after Subarkah his young boss. They openly disagree, how if Nenti is married to his young boss, maybe the work atmosphere is different, they are afraid he is involved in regulating their work.

"Alah, I if scolded not clear, just go out, take care of the child at home "Said the others. But their conversation stopped when a sedan stopped outside the sorting site.

"Pak Marjuki, her husband Neng Imah" said one of them while glancing at her mother Patimah who was also the same, working there.

"His daughter-in-law, ma'am ?" He said again, addressed to his mother Patimah who pretended not to see him. While Mr. Marjuki accompanied Mang Karya went up to his young boss' office. Subarkah who was sitting in his work chair facing his laptop.

Subarkah is not familiar with his guests who came, but later described by Mang Karya as the owner of a rice field bordering the Subarkah rice field. Mang Karya deliberately did not mention that his guest was the husband of Patimah. Then after that, Mang Karya came out to let the two rich people chat together.

"I'm Marjuki, Mr. Subarkah " Mr. Marjuki introduced himself. Subarkah also gave his name, then briefly pleasantries, about the place of residence, business, and people known in the village. Until then Mr. Marjuki said

"If possible, let's not be too formal, can't Mr Subarkah sit here ? "

While so, Mr. Marjuki patted the seat of the long chair he sat on, in order to be closer to the conversation, which was then in the Subarkah who then sat side by side with Mr. Marjuki.

"This is Mr. Subarkah, I am her husband Patimah, her son Mr. Parmin whose house is near the patrol station "

Subarkah was shocked to hear the confession of the old man beside him, but then used to it again because he thought he had never done anything wrong.

"Oh, yeah yeah yeah, what on, sir ?" Subarkah very calmly commented on Mr. Marjuki's confession to him.

"So, I've married her for three years. She is a wife of Sholehah because she takes care and serves me very well, never once she interrupts the husband. He seemed to be doing what I wanted very sincerely "

Mr. Marjuki paused for a while, while Subarkah felt uncomfortable hearing Mr. Marjuki speak so, he said,

"What do people want, want manas-manasi ?"

The heart of Subarkah.

"All the sacrifices are broken, you feel. Reciprocity from me to Patimah is also outwardly fulfilled. Only a living bhatiniah, once only, I can never give him."

Back Mr. Marjuki stopped his words. Subarkah also did not want to react, because it was still confused as to which direction this conversation would be taken.

"Why is that ? Mr. Subarkah should know, when I married her during the day, there was too much medicine for me, because I wanted to be satisfied to enjoy the wedding night. Unfortunately it turned upside down, that night my blood sugar rose very high, fainting was taken to the hospital, there I was diagnosed with acute diabetes and permanent impotence."

Mr. Marjuki was silent again. Look at Subarkah for a moment. For Subarkah himself after hearing the word permanent impotence, so feel the talk began to attract

"In short, Patimah is still a virgin, her chastity has not touched me or anyone"

Hearing that, Subarkah felt thrown into space, I don't know what, immediately he felt happy.

"Sorry sir, everything you've talked about, I've heard, but I wonder, why is it being pictured to me ? What does this have to do with me ? "

"Of course, it has something to do with. Because I know, in my little heart my wife still has Mr. Subarkah. I know, your hearts are still bound, and that's what made me meet Mr. Subarkah today "

Subarkah was again confused by what his guest said.

"I want to take off Patimah, let him fly anywhere, not like now, like a bird in a lift. He had to get the right partner and I saw him with Mr. Subarkah. I came here to make a deal with Mr. Subarkah "

Subarkah was really still confused, the direction of this conversation where, so he still chose silence.

"I want Mr. Subarkah to promise me, after my divorce, after the idah, Mr. Subarkah must immediately marry him, so that I can calmly see the woman I love, get real happiness."

Subarkah just knew the direction of the conversation, he was really very impressed with the courage of Mr. Marjuki expressed his heart to people he just knew. His great love for his wife was expressed in other ways.

"Lucky you are Broken, your marriage that I made sure hurt you was not. You are given the way to increase your life by patience and sincerity until Allah leads you to the best place. "

Subarkah promised the great man that he would take him in the car and leave him, standing in a state of astonishment.
