Marriage to the Enemy
The Part 37
Since then, Ricky has been quieter. He felt very disappointed that his wife's own family kept the big secret. Even if he was told early, he knew how to behave later.
Ricky is not angry who exploded on Rena. He turned cold. A planned romantic dinner is done. Even the honeymoon plan failed miserably.
After a work shop and meeting with Faro to discuss work, Ricky takes Renata home. Mood Ricky was completely crushed, he endured that disappointment all by himself. One day, he wants to ask his parents directly.
Ricky tried to remember what happened eight years ago. Where the father suddenly brought his mother settled in Singapore. Ricky, who was used to his parents, chose to stay.
Before the departure of his parents to Singapore, they often got into an argument and ended up the father leaving the house. In the morning, my father was home. Every day is like that, but Ricky doesn't know the reason why they fight so hard.
"Is it because you're remarried, that's why you're often angry? Ahh .. Why can I not know what happened to my parents? Stupid me!" muttered Ricky with both hands clutching his hair.
Rena who accidentally saw that was just silent. Ricky seemed to close himself since he knew his father was praying for his mother. In fact, Ricky is more often silent when in the apartment.
Renata feels the loss of the old Ricky, but Rena also does not dare to reprimand. Once Rena reprimanded Ricky who seemed to stay away from him. Ricky gets angry and leaves the apartment for days.
Since then, Rena has preferred to live in her parents' residence rather than in Ricky's apartment. It's been two weeks, Ricky and Rena's relationship is increasingly tenuous. No communication, just saying hello.
The two young couples would rather avoid a fight. The situation was sniffed by Ricky's mother's brother, om Bimo. He's been suspicious of Ricky's attitude lately.
Starting from Ricky rampaging in Pak Kurniawan's office and continuing in his residence. Until finally, two twin men of different generations were involved in a fight. Not stopping there, Kurniawan even threatened to cross Ricky's name as one of the heirs.
Afraid of hurting his beloved wife, Ricky chooses to stay away. Not out of anger at Renata, Ricky behaved like that. But fear cannot control emotions and end up hurting each other.
"You why Rick? If the problem is a story, don't hide it yourself! Yes, even if later Om can not provide a solution, at least your burden is slightly reduced." Om Bimo begins to pry information on the cause of Ricky's out of control.
"Om Bimo don't have to pretend not to know!" ricky snorted his face away from him because he was so upset.
"Pretend how? Your mom just asked Om to ask you!" talk about Bimo.
"You deserve the trophy. Your acting is so good that I can't tell which skit and which one is real!" cibir Ricky feels played by his own family.
To date, there has been no clarification from either parent, especially the father. This is what makes Ricky even more angry. Just a short story from Renata he knows.
"What about your father marrying again?" tanya Bimo finally gave up and explained according to her version.
"Both of your parents were married because of an arranged marriage, marriage because it was forced to be more precise. You were present also because of the intervention of our parents, who trapped them until you were present," Bimo's story very forcedly, visible from the look on his face and the look in his eyes.
"First papa you remarry, I don't know. All I know is when your father asked his parents to leave his second wife. Your father actually left his wife and children for their safety."
"Grandfather Suryadi never messed with his threat. Therefore with a heavy heart Kurniawan left the woman and her child. Your father decided to keep your mother by his side" Bimo said, closing the story as he knew it.
Ricky also began to think that his father with his aunt Soraya was divorced. Perhaps what his wife said was right, they happened to meet. But he wanted to hear the story from his own parents.
"If you're still not sure, lure your parents to tell a story. That's the only way," Bimo suggested, he didn't know the true story.
"Mom and Dad don't want to tell me anything about their past. How would I know?"
"Tomorrow I will accompany you to ask Soraya. Who knew he wanted to tell me about what happened fifteen years ago" Bimo said, ending their meeting that afternoon. Ricky nodded without making a sound.
Meanwhile, Renata who had felt bad this morning, rushed to his parents' residence. After Ricky turns into an unknown person, every day he will be in the house until the afternoon or sometimes evening.
The holiday period after receiving the results of the test, filled only with sleep in the room during childhood. Moreover, today she felt dizzy and a little nauseous, she chose to curl up inside a thick blanket. No matter the screams of the aunt that led him down the road.
"What the hell are you, Ren? Aunty noticed lately that you were moody, " asked Aunt Soraya, sitting on the lip of Renata's bed.
"Rena's head is dizzy, Tan. No appetite either. Rena wants to sleep," said Renata weakly.
"Have you eaten and taken your medicine?" Aunt Soraya panicked to see the state of her limp nephew.
"Later on, Tan! Rena wants to sleep for a while," replied Rena again looking for a comfortable position.
"Remember not to forget to eat and take medicine! Aunty wants to go out first, you sleep," said aunty Soraya to Rena.
"Yes, yeah! Later wake up directly eating and taking medicine," promised Rena before finally closing her eyes again.
Aunt Soraya went to a regular study that she used to follow all this time. He always filled his spare time with useful activities, otherwise to the study Soraya would go to the streets distributing boxed rice for buskers or beggars. Not infrequently he went to orphanages or supported orphans or underprivileged communities.
After Soraya's death in college, Renata only sleeps. Renata did not eat or take any medicine. Her body is completely limp.
Overthinking Ricky's suddenly changed attitude, making Renata's appetite evaporate just like that. He did not feel hungry at all so often missed his meal.
Not only did he eat what he missed, his sleep was not sound. Eyes closed but the mind glares far away somewhere. Pretending to sleep to look okay by his family and others.
