The young lady stared at the blue-colored flat object while sighing heavily. No need to wait for the results, he already knows that the test pack tool will show negative results. While bracing himself, he went out of the bathroom and was ready to face the blasphemy of his in-laws and sister-in-law
Inggit Katharina, a beautiful woman who looks innocent but exudes the natural beauty she has. It has been 3 years of Inggit undergoing a household heresy with a Fandi Haran, a successful businessman leader of Haran Group. The happy face of Inggit when married by Fandi Haran was only temporary, the rest changed their sad face because they often shed tears and were depressed through their days.
"Where's the outcome?" tagih Mama Olla - Mama Fandi - impatiently. Mama Olla is like a binder to Inggit. Make Inggit feel afraid like a person who has a lot of debt only.
"The most negative result again, Ma," said Dara, Fandi's younger sister who if talking is always spicy and never mind the feelings of others. Since the beginning of marriage, Dara never liked Inggit. Dara always said spicy and did as if Inggit was their domestic assistant and not her brother-in-law.
Mama Olla saw Inggit's test pack and was instantly enraged. "Now negative too? When did you get pregnant? Maybe you are actually barren, right? Mama doesn't want to know, Mama wants to hold a grandchild soon!" insist Mom Olla. Throw the test pack tight to the floor.
"But, Ma-"
Not yet had time to express a protest, Mama Olla has cut her speech. "Not many reasons! You already have Mama raised her degree to be the daughter-in-law of the Haran family. What do you have to be the daughter-in-law of the Haran family? You rich? Much money? Nay! You are just an orphan who grew up in an orphanage on the outskirts of Jakarta. Not to return our family's favor. Is it hard to give my mother a grandchild? If you're not pregnant, you'll have Fandi divorce you and marry another woman whose uterus is more useful than your dry uterus!" threaten Mom Olla.
Inggit lowered his face. Scroll of hot tears dripped down her cheeks. It hurts so much to be barren and to always be humbled for being poor. After her in-laws and sister-in-law left, Inggit sat on the floor crying. When will his life continue to be like this?
His household with Fandi does look fine from the outside but actually keeps a lot of secrets in it. Fandi who Inggit thought loved him turned out to deceive him all-out. Fandi is only romantic and friendly in front of others but when both Inggit in the room, he will keep his distance. Never once Inggit touched Fandi, until now only Inggit still sacred untouched.
Fandi rarely even invited Inggit to chat. When they were in the room, they were like two strangers. Inggit always eats hearts with the treatment of Fandi, Inggit hopes Fandi will change someday but all only hope. Fandi never changed, always indifferent and indifferent to all that Inggit experienced.
The sick Brit told what happened to Fandi, her husband. No matter what Fandi would listen to what he said or not. Inggit wants Fandi to know what his family has done to him. "Mas, every month Mama always told me to use a test pack. Want to test pack any time the results remain the same. How am I supposed to get pregnant if I've never touched me?" erggit said with emotion.
"God! Don't be so loud when you talk. Mama can hear!" Fandi covered Inggit's tiny lips with her hand. Fandi is afraid that her family knows what has really happened to her household. It's been a waste of effort all this time if Mama finds out.
Inggit brushed off Fandi's hand in annoyance. "We've been married for three years, Mom. Those three years were not a short time for me to hold my patience for all your family's insults. I know I'm poor, Mas, I admit it and I accept it. I am an orphan who has no parents. But if I am told to be barren by your mother, I will not accept. I'm healthy, the lab results prove it all. I'm normal. I'm fertile. You're the problem, Mom. You're the one who never touched me. When are you going to tell me to be silent about being treated like this? Want to get to when Mas is being selfish and let me bear all the problems that plague our household?" Inggit said while crying. Tired of his heart to face his in-laws who always say rude and his sister-in-law who does not know manners and likes to treat him like a maid.
Fandi closed his eyes thinking of a solution to all their problems. Staying longer with his family will make the fact that he never touched Inggit exposed. "Calm down. Don't let Mama hear it. Be patient in a moment" persuaded Fandi.
"I don't want to, Mom. Being in this house has driven me crazy! I'm tired and I can't take it anymore!"
Fandi pulled out Inggit's hand and held back his steps. "What do you want? I'll do it but please don't tell my mom what's going on in our household."
"I want to move! I don't want to live in this house anymore!" answer Inggit.
"OKAY. I follow your will. Soon we will move house. If we move, Mama won't bother you anymore. Isn't this what you want?"
****
Inggit woke up with a sweat on his forehead. There was a dream that was constantly present in his sleep. Dreams that are so real as if everything happened in Inggit's life.
The pain when his head hit the hard asphalt of the road back Inggit felt. Inggit tried to remember what happened before. Who will he meet? Why did I feel like I had forgotten something important?
"Why? Another nightmare?" Fandi who slept next to him was disturbed.
"I'm sorry, Mom, I've disturbed your sleep" said Inggit, who felt bad.
"Sleep, tomorrow we'll move to a new house! Don't disturb me again!" Fandi continued his sleep and ignored Inggit as usual.
