Next morning.
Aluna woke up from her sleep, but as she got out of the bed that was only on the mat, she staggered a little, almost falling again. His head was suddenly dizzy because he was late to take the medicine two days ago, then he reflected. Looking at the shadow of his own face that looked pale. He touched her face, very sad. Eyelids blacken the nose of his nose increasingly visible because his body is getting thinner. Not to mention the cheeks of the weather that is getting thinned.
"I'm so ugly, I can't look pale in front of my husband" he said. Then he picked up a big bag of clothes, no closet he had. Even the most expensive make-up tools are stored in the bag, all expensive items seem worthless.
His face was polished with powder, not forgetting he gave color to his lips. Then he smiled as he looked at her appearance, no more pale faces. She even looks more beautiful than usual. Aluna was ready to appear before her husband. Slowly he walked, the dizziness in the head could not be ignored because he was really very dizzy. He brought medicine to drink that morning.
As he was about to take medicine, he made breakfast for her first. Bread that was purchased was only one sheet. "I think it's enough to fill my stomach" he said.
She did not immediately take the medicine, she preferred to make breakfast for her husband. There was no bread so he had to cook another. But the dizziness came back, he immediately took the medicine. And as Aluna was holding the medicine bottle, her husband saw.
"I-it's ha-it's just a vitamin." Aluna said while hiding the medicine behind her body.
"You think I care?!" he sat down and gulped down the water available on the table. He went to the bathroom to clean up because he was going to work as usual.
Aluna pursed her lips, why is her husband still acting cold and indifferent? He always showed concern for her. Not to mention he did not dispute about Sherly, all he held for the sake of the integrity of his household. She is also not a stupid woman who can be hurt just like that, if she is a healthy girl and not sick. Maybe she will fight and make her husband regret, unfortunately she does not have such abilities because what she fears is that her husband even hates her and there is no hope of happiness in his age.
"I'd better make breakfast, my husband's babbling because there's no breakfast." But Aluna took her medicine first, and kept it in her pocket. After her husband finished his bath and this time they had breakfast together.
"I'll bring you some food later in the day? I promise this time I will go there," said Aluna on the sidelines of his chewing.
"Hmm" replied Iskhandar briefly.
***
This afternoon Aluna was ready to deliver lunch to her husband. Dizziness has begun to decrease even though it does not disappear completely. This afternoon he used a dress patterned flowers with length below the knee. flat shoes complete the legs. Aluna looks very beautiful despite her body getting thinner.
He wished the girl yesterday was not there, his face looked cheerful. She should not be seen limp in front of her husband anything else in front of her co-worker. She will not make her husband ashamed, she shows people that her household is fine, her marriage in the eyes of people is very happy.
Until she got there, her husband was sitting while fanning his face with a hat. Sitting in the shade, a few meters away from his friends. Unbeknownst to him, his brother followed him. Initially, Bella was about to visit. But seeing his brother going away and he followed him to his sister-in-law's workplace.
Bella peeked in from a distance, and Aluna arrived before her husband.
"I'm not late, am I?" aluna asked while sitting in front of her husband.
As usual, Iskhandar did not answer. And Bella continued to notice, there was a suspicion from her sister-in-law. Just looking at his face was predictable if the man did not care about his brother.
"Sister, is this what you say happy?" scythe Bella. Bella couldn't see what was happening in front of her. "Why is my brother lying? If your husband doesn't love you why don't you go home? Don't be a stupid woman just for love, brother!" Bella gets upset by herself.
He himself did not know what love meant, so he could not feel what his brother felt. For Aluna, because she had no chance and no longer could live with her husband, so she was only silent when her husband's attitude was cold without any care for her.
Bella was heard, and did not know more clearly what mistake her sister had made. Bella could only cry when she saw her sister being treated arbitrarily by her husband. His hands clenched hard, it felt like he was eager to beat up his sister-in-law. Maybe if he didn't look at his brother he would have scolded him back even if he had to kill him.
Not being able to keep quiet, Bella immediately came home to report what her sister was going through. The father needs to know with his daughter-in-law's attitude.
***
Bella arrives home.
Once there, he immediately sought his father.
"Dad ...," cried Bella.
"Bella, what are you doing? It's only right your father gets angry a lot, when will your lady act like this, huh?" protest of the mother.
Bella doesn't care about that, all she wants now is to meet her father. He will report what happened to his brother. Aluna is the only brother she has, of course she will not accept if her brother is hurt.
"Dad ..." Bella finds her father struggling in her study. He was no longer young, so he only worked from home. To jump into the field there are people trust him.
"What's Bella? Can't you be gentle like your brother?" mohan.
Bella sighed, this is not the time for her father to lecture her. There's something worse than this.
"What's up, hmm?" mohan asked, he stopped his activities and now looked at the face of his second daughter.
"Why did Papa approve of Luna's marriage to that man?"
"Why ask now?"
"I want Papa to take Luna home, her husband doesn't love her. The man's attitude is rude, Papa has to pick him up" explained Bella.
Mohan's jaw hardened and his hands clenched, though he did not see it directly but he would not let it happen to his daughter. Mohan contacts someone, he will act if his son is hurt.
