The Broken Ring's
Just a Play

Lalita's body felt as if it had no bones. She just left without caring about the beautiful dress she is currently wearing might get dirty. A bitter reality that he had just heard earlier had really left him in shock. Erick even imagined Larisa's face every time he had a husband-wife relationship with her, it was unbelievable.

Lalita. Her husband and sister had left a while ago. But before leaving, they continued to argue fiercely. The debate that actually makes it clearer how deep their relationship used to be. Erick also repeatedly insists that he only loves Larisa, even after getting married and living his life with Lalita for two years.

"Why is it like this? This must be a dream, not a reality …." Lalita tried to deny the reality she was facing at this time, although of course her heart knew very well if it was real.

"Erick and Risa's sister .. There's no way they've had a relationship before. No way," muttered Lalita again while shaking her head. His issue grew stronger and his tears also flowed more and more.

As powerful as Lalita tried to deny, but still her heart could not be lied to. His lips may not accept it, but his mind is in line with the reality that exists today. As far as his memory traces the journey of his married life, Erick never once expressed love or did anything sweet for him.

At first, Lalita thought that her husband was a stiff type of man who was not good at expressing feelings. It was unexpected that the reason Erick had always been flat with her was because the man had no feelings for her in the least, but rather loved Larisa. A reality that breaks Lalita's heart to the point of being almost out of shape.

"How can you?" Finally Lalita muttered bitterly in pain. He had indeed fallen in love with Erick even since the first time the man was brought by his father, but didn't Erick himself come to propose to him?

Lalita wanted to find out what was really going on, but her brain was completely dead-end due to the pain. All he could do was cry and continue to cry until his heart was a little relieved. After a while, Lalita finally got up and tried to drag her steps away from the place. The goal is certainly not to return to the party, but directly to the hotel room that he had previously rented to spend the night with his husband.

Lalita took a moment of pain when she entered the room. Romantic nuances immediately greeted him, making his heart even more bitter. I don't know how long he's been preparing for his wedding anniversary tonight, it's unexpected that now he will feel a very deep wound.

After a long sigh, Lalita finally stepped closer to the bed, then laid her body there. Her tears flowed again, though she tried not to cry anymore. Lalita brusquely wiped her tears. He got back up and picked up a small box that he had intentionally placed on the nightstand for Erick to see easily, then opened it. A surprise that she had wanted to give to her husband as a gift for their wedding anniversary.

Lalita opened the small box herself and retrieved the contents. A pregnancy test that shows results if she is now pregnant with Erick's seeds. At first, he thought that Erick would be very happy to receive the surprise. Lalita even imagined that her husband would definitely show a happy expression on his flat face. But now the shadow disappeared like dust hit by rainwater. That guy won't be happy. Others will feel overwhelmed and increasingly frustrated.

Closing her eyes, Lalita finally broke the pregnancy test kit into pieces, then threw it into the trash. Erick does not need to know the existence of the fetus in the womb. It's pointless. The man said he was going to divorce her soon, right?

The words spoken by Erick to Larisa were again ringing in Lalita's ear, making the woman's tears about to fall again, but as hard as she could bear.

"Stop crying, Lita. Don't waste your tears anymore" Lalita murmured to herself.

Of course Lalita's heart was broken. Two years she devoted herself to being a good wife. She gave up her status as the daughter of a prominent hotel business owner in front of Erick, and became a dutiful wife. Every single thing Erick hated, he would willingly stay away from her even if he liked it so much. On the contrary, whatever Erick likes, Lalita will also try to like him too even though she has to fight her own fears.

Lalita's love for Erick is too broad and boundless, but the man says she is only a spoiled and shameless woman. Like a dagger stabbing Lalita in the chest right now, it felt so tight and painful. In fact, just to just sigh feels very difficult.

Lalita then returned to lay her body on the bed. It is up to the moment that the people at the party are busy looking for him. His body and mind were now too tired and sick to think of it all. To hell with the party he had prepared. To hell with the gossip that might be circulating because he suddenly disappeared from the party. There's nothing worse than knowing the truth that her husband loves his brother.

The ringing of the cell phone ripped the contents of Lalita's head, making her sit back and take the object out of her handbag. A long sigh came straight out of Lalita's mouth when she saw that the one who contacted her was Larisa, her brother.

Lalita refused the call, but it seemed that it would only make her parents worried. Larisa must have contacted him because she was told by her mother.

"Yes, Brother?" Lalita finally answered the call.

"Where are you?" ask Larisa across the street. Can Lalita hear the worry from her brother's tone.

"I'm resting in my room. My head is suddenly dizzy" said Lalita lying.

"Geez, Lit, why didn't you say it? Mama and Papa were worried because you didn't go back to the party. Erick too." Larisa grumbling.

Erick's worried? Lalita smiled wryly hearing that. How could the man worry about her after just now continue to speak harsh words aimed at her? Ah, Lalita just remembered that her brother often said the same thing, Erick missed her, Erick worried about her, and many more.

Lalita used to stupidly believe all that. His heart even felt flowery. Somehow she could be so naive and silly, not feeling that those sweet words were her brother's theatrics alone. The drama that killed him until then crashed very hard and painful as it is today.
