PENGHALAM
Chapters 18. Proposal.

Life is hard but you have to be much harder and stronger to conquer it. Strong is not about never shedding tears, but strong is when we stand firm even though others are trying to bring us down.

After the departure of her husband, Vira returned to bed. His gaze was fixed on the photo of his marriage to Yudha. In the photo looks happiness radiated from the face of Vira.

Vira got off the bed and approached the photo attached to the wall. Photos with a very large size. The face of the husband.

"Mas Yudha, when you proposed to me, I felt the luckiest woman. I, who is only a kara without relatives, hope that with our marriage, we will have a warm family. I thought your parents would treat me like their own son, but it was just my dream."

Vira wiped her tears that fell down her cheeks. If only the mother who owned the foundation where she used to live was still alive, maybe Vira would return to that city.

"I, who was too hopeful for our marriage, was blown away by the fact that my in-laws did not like me and wanted me as his daughter-in-law. I was considered a rival to him. Should I just give up now? Or I try to survive even with a wounded heart."

Vira wiped her tears violently. Imagine her husband is currently proposing to the woman who will be her honeymoon. Although I tried to be patient and sincere, still this heart was wounded.

"Mas Yudha, if the wife who has been hurt and wounded many times but chooses to forgive you, not because she is stupid. His heart just can't hurt the one he loves."

After being satisfied to cry Vira broke down herself. Moments later, Vira finally closed her eyes.

Twelve o'clock at night Yudha went into the room. He saw that Vira had fallen asleep. The man kissed his wife's forehead. Lying next to Vira.

Yudha looked at his wife's face that looked slightly pale and tyrannical than usual. On elus that pretty face.

"Darling, I know, you must be really hard at accepting all of this. But believe me, honey, I'm doing this for you. I can't bear to hear every day mom always insinuating you barren. Maybe with me remarrying and giving the mother a grandchild, she will be silent will not insinuate you anymore" Yudha said.

Hugged the skinny body of the wife. It feels like his bones. Vira who felt there were hands hugging her body, opened her eyes. She saw her husband.

"It's been almost half an hour. You've eaten, honey."

"I'm not hungry, Mom. I'm tired" said Vira.

Hearing his wife say tired, Yudha brought Vira's body into her breast. Fucked the woman's head.

"I'm sorry, Vira. I have made you sad and hurt" Yudha said.

"Don't say sorry again, Mom. All this is also of my will. Not if we dare to love someone means we must be ready to be hurt. How was the proposal, Mas? Smoothly?" ask Vira slowly.

Vira's voice sounded very slow. He tried to hold the sebak in the chest.

"We'll just talk about something else" Yudha said.

"Why, Mas? I also want to know the results of your application. Mother asked me to take care of everything until your wedding day" said Vira.

"You don't have to do everything I ask. Just argue if it's not as you wish."

Hearing Yudha's words, Vira laughed. Not denying his father-in-law's words alone, he was considered an enemy.

"Don't you know who your mother is, Mom? I who always follow your will remain wrong in his eyes, especially if I argue. You can't refuse what you want either. Good and bad, you always follow what you want. Including asking to marry again," said Vira with a firm voice.

Yudha only fell silent when Vira finished saying that. It was true what his wife said if she could not argue anything that her mother wanted.
