Ica did ask Bayu for his opinion. But what Bayu said was not an opinion. Ica doesn't like the way Bayu responds. Even the way Bayu made Ica like to make a very fatal mistake. Bayu himself did not understand how Ica felt when he heard directly what the mother of the orphanage said.
Ica wanted to try hard, even though the sentence was very draining of energy. He was brave enough to express his heart. He tried to be seen enjoying the satay field that he ate, trying to look to enjoy the satay, but in fact he felt his satay tasteless. His hungry stomach and tired he is not the reason why he looks greedy and does not care about Bayu. He just wanted to show Bayu that he had absolutely no problem with it, with the words of the mother of the house that actually influenced him.
During this time, Ica always got what she wanted because she was too spoiled by her parents, also because she was her only child. Every time he wants something, he always gets it, because there is a will, if he wants something, he has to get it. Through the help of his parents, also with his own strength. Because of that habit, Ica desperately wants to get Bayu's love. All the power he put out to get it. However, his strength alone is not enough compared to Bayu's own strength which clearly rejects Ica's efforts. Everything is in vain, Bayu's love will never be obtained because it already belongs to someone else. As persistent as Ica towards the nature of wanting something and having to get it, he never tenaciously wants to get something that is already owned by others. Her parents did give her everything Ica wanted, but they taught Ica not to want something that others had. So, it is better to give her wish, her desire to get Bayu's love.
"Mas..., let's end this marriage, how? I can't make you fall in love with me, so why is this marriage continuing?" said Ica who previously took a deep breath after hearing Bayu raise her tone.
THE HUT!
Bayu hit the table strongly. Ica was surprised by that. Ica was always afraid that Bayu had vented his emotions physically. He was afraid that he would become the next object when Bayu vent his emotions.
Ica closed her eyes and looked down. He felt uncomfortable and wanted to run away. His courage has been spent to sue Bayu divorce indirectly.
"We better finish it in the room. Not good if Bi Ana hears," said Bayu calmer. He realized Ica was scared there.
...----------------...
In the room, the atmosphere was awkward. Ica sat on the bed, while Bayu sat on the available chair in the room.
"So, what do you mean? Why are you suddenly talking like that?" start Bayu.
"I didn't suddenly, Mom. I have long resisted this feeling. You never open up to me about your relationship with Caca" Ica replied. He began to ignore the 'Mbak' greeting to Caca.
"You have invited me to accompany us when there is a meeting discussing business, but you refused. Though I have already explained to you, I need you to avoid being alone with Caca because it is uncomfortable. Also because there are you who might help, the meeting will probably be faster. You refused, right? You also accuse me of not thinking about your feelings. Actually, that's my best way to let you know that what I did at the meeting was just to discuss business. You don't even think about it. Instead I offer like that to keep your feelings, as long as you know. And as a result, Caca and I had to meet together, without you knowing. And ironically now, you're sorry, right? Try if you never refuse to join my meeting and Caca, surely you will naturally know what happened between us." Bayu seeks a defense.
Again, these two equally selfish people also discussed, by raising their voices an octave each replying to each other's words.
"You're as good as that talking. Don't you think I'm just like you as a man, who generally uses logic. You don't know how jealous I was when you were going to see Caca again, when you mentioned yourself that you were married."
"Your housewives say? What exactly is the definition of a household to you, Mom? And if you say, we don't look like husband and wife at all."
"Please speak with a cool head, Raisa. You start exaggerating and making drama. Talk about a problem point," said Bayu lowered his tone. He is very good at controlling the conversation to win.
"Can you still say that, Mom? I told you at the dinner table. The problem is, you can't love me at all. I can't make you fall in love with me either, so why is this marriage continuing?" repeat Ica at the beginning with emphasis everywhere.
Bayu shut up for a moment. He tried to figure out how to respond to the seriousness of Ica this time when talking, his face looks more serious and there is no drama in it.
"Why is diem you? Bener, right? You are not in love with me. You're not happy with me either" challenged Ica who found little room to win.
"You yourself, say so, do you have any love for me? Didn't you ever tell me you hated me?" tanggung Bayu bring the past.
"I admit I told you I hate you. But we were married, living on the same roof, doing what I thought was like a husband and wife. I lost, and because of my habit with you, I started turning hate into love. But I doubt this feeling is love. Because during my marriage, I felt it was natural to love my husband. Or it's just my misunderstanding, because you're the only man who can give me a new feeling that I've never felt in my heart, maybe I'm mistaken for love. But I admit I'm jealous of you meeting Caca, I'm happy if you're paying attention to me, even I feel this love because various feelings arise after I'm married to you."
"But you? I may feel the same way as I do, because in your heart you are already filled with others. That person makes you happier. And you're much more open with him because you've known him for a long time. You not only make happiness with him, but also share a sense of pain together when taking care of the business. What am I, just a secretary and a wife in formality, nothing more."
"So, what do you want me to say, Raisa?"
"Say! This will affect the length or shortness of our marriage. Tell me, is there love in your heart for me? Is it only to me that love is owned, does anyone else have it?"
"Omong empty. Obviously we are husband and wife, should I clarify? Don't be crazy!"
"Yes, it has to be explained! I know I'm crazy, and it's because of you, Mom. Say it out loud. You love me, or what?"
