"Basic women don't know themselves! How dare you wander around unclearly out there without thinking about home. It's so good your life. Already hitchhiking, shameless no more."
Such was the welcome of the in-laws when Roslin was late to return home if he went out. He also did not leave without a reason. Rather, because in asked to buy something or take care of something for the benefit of the house as well.
Two years of marriage to her husband. Ros did not get any happiness. In fact, all he got was suffering again and again.
Treated as a daughter-in-law and wife, Roslin still hopes that the husband will realize that he loves her husband very much. But poor, two years have passed. Let alone realize, her husband's indifference even more so-so.
Because of her husband's indifference, the in-laws who had basically disliked Ros since the beginning of the marriage, increasingly act arbitrarily. Not only did she treat Ros as a maid in the family, she even treated Ros without the slightest feeling. He thought, Ros is like a doll that has no meaning.
Poor Ros can only be silent when treated unkindly by everyone. Because he thought, someday, his patience would bear good fruit. They will all love themselves like a real family.
"I'm sorry, Ma. Going on foot takes a long time. Because the place I'm going to is very far away. Mama didn't give me a fare to ride an angkot or any other public transport."
"Please! How dare you answer what I say. Who do you think you are, huh? A despicable woman who suddenly clung to the bottom of our family. Uh! I don't know what sins I've committed so that my son can marry a despicable woman like you."
That was very painful for Ros. However, he chose to remain silent now. Because if he answers, then maybe not only heartache will he get. But also physical pain.
Physically tired, Ros can still survive and do not consider it too meaningful. However, being mentally tired, it was what made him even less powerful at this moment.
In addition to all the housework she does as a maid. The food he ate was not good either. Because she was only given leftover food after her husband's family finished eating.
If she complains to her husband, then her husband's response will greatly make her feel even more sick again.
"You want to marry me, don't you? Why are you complaining now."
Words that Ros really didn't want to remember. But keep thinking in his mind. In addition to rarely coming home, he also never responded to Ros if he was at home. Ros he married probably only because to be a maid in his house only.
.....
The days passed quickly. The longer, the God who became Ros's husband the less often go home. One day, when he came home, he came with a woman who looked very beautiful. Of course, because the makeup he was wearing made his face look so beautiful.
The arrival of the woman made Ros very surprised. Even worse, Ros' mother-in-law welcomed the woman warmly. Things that Ros never accepted despite having done all things with great difficulty so far.
Right now, Ros really could not hold back anymore. If all this time he was able to survive when ignored, but not with the duakan like now. Therefore, he will rebel right now.
Ros spoke up. He who had never raised his voice before, now immediately did so because he was no longer strong. While the new God saw this, instead of feeling bad, but even immediately angry.
He instantly gave Ros a piercing glare. Next, he clutched Ros's hand hard. Then, he dragged that hand towards their room.
Mama-in-law Ros and the woman who came with the God just showed a happy face to what had just happened. It seemed, they were quite satisfied with the Gods treatment on Ros at the moment.
Meanwhile, the Ros that the God brought into the room by clutching hands tightly, the God immediately released it in a rough way. Then, the God immediately pushed Ros to fall into the bed.
"Listen Roslin! Don't ever speak in a high tone in front of me. Because you are not worthy to say in a high tone. Have you forgotten who you are? The one who wants to marry me is you, right? So don't you dare raise your voice in front of me. Understood?"
"I won't raise my voice, ma'am. But you've gone too far. More than two years of our marriage, but you never thought I existed. What kind of marriage is this?"
"The wedding you want. Because you did everything you could to get married to me, right? You're the one chasing me in any way that I have no way of avoiding you."
"But, mas. After everything I've done to you and this family, don't you have the slightest bit of love for me? Do you not see the slightest sincerity in the love I give? Not just for you, but for your family."
"No. There will be no love that can grow in my heart for you. Because before marriage, also until now, in my heart there was already another woman."
The words immediately flowed tears on Roslin's cheeks. Really, those words were so painful that they made Ros instantly feel claustrophobic as if there was no more air he could breathe. However, with all his might he tried to stay firm.
Ros instantly wiped away the tears that were flowing down her cheeks. "So, that woman is the one you love, ma'am?"
Without the slightest hesitation, the God immediately replied steadily. "Yes. He is the one I love. My first love that filled my heart. Which makes you have no place in this heart."
"So, I'm warning you, Roslin. Never use harsh words on her. Or you'll know what my real anger is."
Not just a warning that God says, but also a warm compliment.
"She is a gentle woman. Never make him feel guilty. I won't forgive you until you make him feel bad, Ros."
After saying those words, the God immediately left the room. Leaving Ros still frozen due to the warnings and warm praise her husband gave to other women.
