Revenge Of A Wife
Comfortable

"Mas, you still want to keep your fat wife?" ask Selena to Bagas.

"Gga is dear, but how else, we can't make him go and leave our family, even though the various ways I've done."

"It's really hard to make him kapok and leave, it's not possible to immediately ngusir or divorce him?"

"Listen to me dear, he is his favorite cluck, if the mas directly make him go and immediately divorce without any fault of him, then the grandfather will revoke all facilities and rights of inheritance mas."

Elena fell silent, she digested all the words from Bagas, "Meaning from now on we have to look for her mistakes and convince grandfather that she is a woman who is not really to be your wife mas."

Bagas just nodded his head to understand, "You really do say dear, but how do we convince grandfather?"

"Look, how about now we go to the beach to think about all this, maybe when we look at the beach we get a brilliant idea." Elena said with a teasing smile.

"Well then, it's been a long time since I went to the beach." Bagas hugged Elena from the side and left the cafe.

Ricard and I are now on the beach that we used to go to, I look at the waves that are racing to get to the beach.

"You don't work? How does his job go to the beach?" I started a conversation between us.

"I'm at the ship at night, so I can come here and maybe every time I get to the ship at night you keep meeting, so you think that I'm not working, are you ashamed to have an unemployed friend?"

"That's it, I never looked at a man of his possessions or rank, nor did I ever look upon him, but most of them are the ones who are ashamed and disgusted to be close to me because of my posture and my mediocre face like this, I'm not like other women who have a nice body and a slim face, so I'm often insulted and underestimated by everyone including her husband and mother." I don't know why I feel comfortable telling Ricard, without a doubt I'm telling you everything.

"I'm not ashamed to be close to you, actually you are beautiful as long as you want to change it." Ricard said as he looked at me from the side making my heart beat faster.

I don't know why my heart can beat like that when he looks at me, but I don't feel it at all when I'm with Bagas.

"Thank you for being my friend, you're the only guy who wants to be close to me." I saw him smile a little as soon as I heard my answer.

"If you think of me as your friend, can you tell me everything? Including what happened to you going to the doctor?"

I glanced for a moment at Ricard and looked back at the waves in front of me then I exhaled violently.

Ricard was silent and waiting for me to be ready to tell a story, maybe everything Ricard said was true, with me telling him the tightness in my chest would feel light.

"Before grandfather died, he had already betrothed me to a man, and after grandfather died I married him at the request of his grandfather too, who was indeed my grandfather's friend, his grandfather, I fell in love at first sight because I had never had a boyfriend, so once I saw my future husband, I fell in love and I felt lucky to be married to a guy like him." I again exhaled violently, as if I was preparing strength.

Ricard is still a henchman with his silence, he is still faithfully waiting for the continuation of my story.

I went back to my life story, "After we both got married and stayed away from her grandfather's house, the true nature of her was visible, she looked down on me so much, she felt a near disgust with me, and I always kept quiet and accepted the insults from my husband." I began to shed tears, the shadow of all the insults Bagas now flashed back in my mind.

"Until one day I saw my husband with a woman who had a nice body and a beautiful face, unlike me who was fat and ugly, this woman was, although I was hurt but I was still able to hold back and accept her, but after the woman was brought home and they slept together, that's where I started to feel pain like his lice would be healed." I cried, I was really hurt by their behavior, considering that I was the only one whose wife had never been touched by my husband, but that woman who was not his wife, she said, he had already dared to touch and do such a shameful thing.

Ricard grabbed my head and leaned it on his shoulder, as if he was telling me to vapourize all of it and he would always look after it.

I don't know why I'm just kneeling with Ricard until I'm comfortable with his shoulder.

"I was always despised, belittled and compared to the woman, her mother supported my husband's behavior, the three of them always insulted and demeaned me, I was not strong." I said while crying.

"Why didn't you leave that house? why are you still holding on? already know their behavior hurts." Ricard's words sounded like they were upset about their behavior.

"My husband's grandfather, I survived because of him, only he loved me, only for his sake I survived even though my life in that house was like hell."

"Is your husband also the one who doused hot water on your face?" ricard asked while stroking my head.

"His cheating woman's been watering her, and you know? He did it in front of my husband, but my husband just kept quiet and like him he was happy I was treated like that by his infidelity."

Ricard's red face held back anger, he knew Yola was nobody, and he had also been friends with Yola for only a few days, but his heart felt comfortable and eager to help Yola.

"Cry, if all that will make tightness in your chest becomes light."

I cried on Ricard's shoulder, Ricard's unrelenting hand stroking my head made me more comfortable and I feel now I have someone who will always protect me.

The breezy sea breeze and the sound of the waves like a rhythm and the gentle caress of a man I just felt made me sleepy and finally I fell asleep on his shoulders.
