"Wake up?"
Aksa glanced towards the source of the voice. "Aragh!" He shouted, as his gaze collided with a pale-faced woman, whose corner of his eyes was dripping with tears of blood.
"Why, Mas? Is anyone sick?"
"Ah, Dewi," he murmured softly. Feel relieved. Apparently the scary-faced woman was just his mind. "I'm still in the hospital, huh?"
Dewi nodded, "Doctor Mas said he can go home in about a day or two" he said.
"Due..." Aksa hissing long. There's a lot he wants to do lately.
"The last night was a nightmare, huh? Until that scream?" said the meeting while giving water to the husband.
"It wasn't a dream, but I remembered what happened back then. It turns out that my sin is too much, Dek," said Aksa after sipping the glass until it runs out. Without him noticing, his tears melted down his cheeks.
"Already, Mas. Don't think too much about it. The important thing after this is that Mas repented, then apologized to his family," said Dewi gently. Both of his hands were coiled around the man's waist.
"That's the problem. I'm too timid to admit my mistake" whispered Aksa inwardly.
"Oh yes, Mas. Yesterday Rani came. Keep going..."
"So Rani already knows everything?" Guess Aksa. He saw a sad and confused look in the woman's eyes.
"Sorry, Mas. I can't explain it well. So Mbak Rani was angry and misunderstood," said Dewi Lirih.
"It's not your fault, Dek. This is my business. Bias Mas will finish it later," said Aksa.
"Try her phone, Mas. Ask how the tone is. Healed or not. I was worried when I saw him leave here. His heart was very shaken," said Dewi.
Aksa smiled faintly as she peeked at the Goddess' forehead, "Luckily I chose you as my wife. Because of the goodness of your heart. It's not like Rani who put up the stacking and pellets to tie me up" he said.
"Bak Rani uses pellets and stacking?" the Goddess did not believe.
"Yes," Aksa said as she nodded her head. I don't know since when, but when I was in college I was crazy about him. Until she conceived Najla" Aksa said.
"Astaghfirullah," muttered the Goddess with mixed feelings. She did not expect that her husband had ever committed adultery.
"That's why I still maintain my marriage to Rani. I have to take responsibility for my two children" Aksa said.
"Yes... I always support you, Mas," said Dewi.
"Please get me my HP, Dek. I want to call Rani," Aksa's pinta.
The woman grabbed Aksa's HP from the top of the nightstand. "I'm down first, Mom. Go find breakfast. Later at nine there is a doctor's visit," said Dewi did not want to disturb her husband who called Rani. Aksa nodded slowly.
...***...
Drrrrr!
Rani stared at the HP screen that rang with a fiery look. Chests rumbling. This is the fifth time Aksa has called. Looks like the man is completely unyielding.
"Ck, really malesin. Why would he call me? Apologizing? I have a lot of business. Looking for a really hard collision now," said Rani growled.
It's been two days since Rani ignored a phone call from her husband. His heart was still very upset and sore, because he was being cheated on. Still hiding in one of his old friend's houses, Rani is busy with new activities. Looking for her babysitter, to be made into a mash.
"Assalamualaik."
Suddenly a greeting was heard at the door. Her voice was not unfamiliar, making Rani's chest beat fast. He also looked towards the door.
"What are you doing here? How do you know I'm here?"
"I asked the Ujang. Because when I got home from the hospital, our house in the village was empty" Aksa said sadly.
"Fucking woo! What can't stitch his mouth?" rani with a feeling of goiter. He forgot, if there was anyone other than his friend, who knew of his current whereabouts.
"How are you and the kids? Sorry Mas did not accompany you and Nada to the clinic," Aksa said with her hands in a cast and face full of bruises.
"No need to talk, Mom! I already know everything. You little con man." Rani tries to hold back her tears, so that Aksa does not see her as a weak woman.
"Yes, Deck. I'm not wrong. Mas should have told me a long time ago," Aksa said in defeat. He was still standing in front of the door with his legs slightly limping.
"It looks so sorry! So what have you been thinking of me all this time? Where are my flaws, until you beat me up?" Jerit Rani, took out all the concussion she had saved since yesterday.
"You're still Mas's wife. So do the kids. Mas still dear," said Aksa.
"Darling? Then I have to divorce her!" Pinta Rani with a tinge. His jaw hardened, holding back tears that increasingly hung in the eye peluk.
"Rani, listen to me. The female goddess I married well. Just like you used to be. So Dewi is also my legal wife," said Aksa would not budge.
"Can't be! I have to come along! I am the first wife. I'm more entitled than him!" Rani yells at Aksa, without a care that the man is still in the hospital.
Aksa took a deep breath, "You two have equal rights. Children also have the same rights and responsibilities from me" explained Aksa.
"What's? Do you even have a child from him? That brash girl. How dare he tease my husband, to the point of having an illegitimate child!" rani Ompat. The tissue box that was on the table, so the target of his anger.
"Know! He's not a bastard like Najla! He never teased me, nor came into contact with me until we were married!"
Aksa began to stir up emotions. His good intentions to maintain the marriage with Rani begin to fade. The man then walked to and fro into the house, enduring the pain.
"How dare Mas open a disgrace about my son!" rani screams hysterically. Both of his hands were pulling his own hair.
"I love my two children here. That's why I came. Anyway, how could Mas marry her, if she did not tease Mas. What is my lack? Anyway I have to divorce him! I'll help you get the divorce papers done in court!"
"Nobody can force me to divorce the Goddess. Because she's my woman of choice. It's not like you wear pellets and shreds! You used to get rid of Kinanti, too, because I love her, right?"
Aksa increasingly spilled all the uneg-unegnya he kept all this time. Rani is speechless, hearing Aksa's words. His heart grew sicker, as he brought back his first love.
"It's worth the stacking and the pellets can't work, apparently the man already knows the secret. No matter how good the fall she gives, if she knows everything is useless," Rani's inner.
"Here you go, I'm not here to fight. I miss you guys. I'm gonna see the kids."
Aksa took a deep breath and then released it back. He tried to temper his anger so as not to get out of control. Although his feelings for Rani have always been low tide, but Aksa really loves her two daughters.
"Tone and Najla are fine even without Mas. So don't mind us! Look in the room, Nada is engrossed in drawing without missing you," Rani said curiously.
Rani's footsteps quickly moved into the room. He wants to prove to Aksa that they are fine without him. Aksa followed Rani, with a limp step.
"Well, what tone?" Rani is confused, not finding her youngest daughter in the room. He then combed through all the rooms in the house to find the whereabouts of his son.
"Tone... Where are you, son? Tones..." Shouted Rani calling out her son's name.
The little boy who was usually always agile and said if called, this time did not make a sound. The trunk of his nose was not visible in the house, although Aksa and Rani had looked for him under the bed and into the closet.
"Tone? Don't worry Mama dong, son. Come on, quickly answer. Where are you?" rani exclaimed with a voice beginning to shake.
Aksa was looking for her daughter outside the house. He flung the lush flower plants, looked at every corner of the room, then into the back yard of the house full of trees. But the little girl was not found.
"It's because of you, Mom. He must have been scared and gone into hiding, because he heard you were angry!" Rani squeezes the collar of Aksa's shirt, to spill her vexation.
