ONE NIGHT With BROTHER
Chapter 42. ONE NIGHT WITH BROTHER-IN-LAW.

Khayra woke up and opened her eyes. Looking at the room that was shining because of the sunlight coming in from the window slit. Looking at the wall clock has shown at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Khayra felt her stomach hungry. The woman got up and walked to the bathroom. Half an hour in the bathroom, Khayra came out with a bright face.

After getting dressed, Khayra walked towards the elevator which would take her to the cafeteria on the ground floor.

Khayra ordered Padang rice with beef rendang side dishes. While engrossed in eating, his calmness was disturbed when someone pulled a chair right in front of him.

In her heart the woman thought to herself whether there was no other table so empty that the visitor sat near her desk.

"How many days have you not eaten?" ask the guy. Khayra who felt that voice was not foreign, raised her face. It turned out that Ferdi was the one who pulled the chair in front of him earlier.

"What do you care? Whether I eat or not, no one cares. Unfortunately my fate is right," said Khayra with a laugh.

Actually from yesterday Khayra has not eaten. She was planning to eat at home with her family however, what happened. His presence was not expected.

"Maybe it's just your feeling. Every parent loves their child!" ferdi.

Khayra was astonished to see Ferdi speaking softly. Since when did he change this way. Last night at his father's house, Ferdi and Naina were still insulting him.

Khayra thought that there must be something that made her ex-husband change attitude. Maybe she was investigating something from him, Khayra thought. The woman stared intensely at Ferdi.

"Why are you here? What did my family tell you that you were following me? I didn't bring anything from home."

"You think I'm stupid? You'll be ordered by your family who aren't clear."

"Family is unclear!" murmured Ferdi but still Khayra can hear.Walau his presence was never considered of course he could not accept if his family was said to be unclear.

"On what basis did Mas say my family wasn't clear?" ask Khayra. He pulled his dinner plate. There was no rice on the plate where he had eaten. All ludes without rest.

"Of course your family is unclear. From what I heard yesterday, you feel neglected. Your father never paid attention to you, loved Naina more. But what I know is the opposite!"

"What do you know about my family? Why would you conclude that?" ask Khayra again.

"From what I heard, Naina's the one who's getting unfair treatment." Ferdi leaned his body against the chair staring at Khayra intensely.

"Just believe which one. It's free for me to defend myself. My real father just doesn't believe what I'm saying, what else is someone else. But make no mistake. I'm used to being treated like this. I've been immune. My heart is made by God so it is not easy to be fragile, if it is made in China it may have been broken into pieces."

Ferdi looked at Khayra who was sipping his drink. He was this close to his ex-wife Khayra. And only once could he talk like this.

Two months of marriage, never did she and Khayra sit face to face like this. After all, Ferdi admitted he had been eaten by Naina's words so he never wanted to listen to his ex-wife talk.

My God, this woman has clear eyes and a sharp gaze. She had a sweet face, not making the eyes get tired of looking at her. Why I never realized Khayra's beauty.

(Khayras)

(Ferdi)

Khayra threw away her sight. He felt intensely glared at Ferdi. Taking a deep breath Khayra finally spoke again.

"Tell me what I want. Never once did you want to talk while we were married."

"Have you ever used money from Naina? And do what?" ask Ferdi. He must know the truth of everything. It is late but better than not knowing at all.

"You heard what I debated with Dad yesterday. Let me not use Naina's money, just look at the money I never. I've gotten used to making my own living. Never expected from anyone?"

"That motor you use a lot isn't Naina's gift?" ask Ferdi again.

"God! What nonsense is this. Don't buy a motorbike, make gasoline I never asked for it. I have become accustomed to living with my own sweat money.Do not eat it, I have to slam the bones looking for money for a bite of rice." Khayra paused his speech. Her chest felt tight remembering all that.

A childhood that should be filled with excitement and play should be spent making a living. And sometimes he had to give it to his sister Naina.

Khayra's heart hurts too much to remember all that. He always tried to be sincere and hard to deal with all this. However, the shadow about the bitterness of life he had to live made Khayra still unable to hold back her tears.

Khayra got up from her seat. "Sorry, Mas. I gotta go. After all like the words that Mas used to say, we have no relationship whatsoever, so do not want to know my life again if only to compare my words or Naina's right. You should know more about who you love. Don't want to be fooled and close your eyes just because you love too much" Khayra said, leaving Ferdi alone.

Never give up when life gives us a hundred reasons to grieve and cry, do not give up or complain about the current state of our lives. Because what we now consider less can be very excessive for others whose fate is less fortunate than ours. I try to be sincere about a loss and smile from the pain that is happening

Life problems come and go sometimes it feels heavy. Even so, patiently and sincerely everything will become lighter. Patiently and sincerely, every problem will be easier to pass. Patience will also make us stronger in life.
