The Duchess Is Mine
DIM. 67 (Before Ending)
“Dad.”
The adult man who was peeling the apple turned his head. Staring at the princess who had just called out to him with a warm smile on her lips. “What's up?”
“Mother...”.
“Iya. What's with Mom?” the man said when the princess chose to hang her sentence.
“Mothers don't come to court anymore?”
For a long time the man answered the princess's question. But with just one word, you can answer and explain everything.
“You don't have to think about that problem, Capella. Let Daddy handle it.”
Hearing the father's words, the girl who had just completed a routine counseling session with her personal psychiatrist exhaled slowly. She knew that her mother had never agreed to divorce until now. Although it had been two months after the events of Capella who had attempted suicide, Estrella remained strong to maintain marriage. Nevertheless, Elgara was determined to separate.
Divorce lawsuits are still being filed, and documents related to divorce have also been given to the court, so that the filing of the lawsuit he submitted is immediately processed. Elgara also filed a lawsuit against child domination. The lawsuit was also filed along with a divorce lawsuit.
Elgara also did not mind having to pay the divorce fee, as he was fully aware that the divorce fee was charged to the plaintiff. In their case, the cost of divorce is certainly charged to Elgara as the husband who wants to divorce his wife. Elgara just does not want “ribet” in the sense that Estrella is difficult to work with. There was no hope between them anymore.
“Eat this, I've got you.”
A plate of apples without the skin of Elgara thrust on the princess. He then painstakingly tied the plastic bag that had just been used for the apple peel container so as not to scatter.
Two months later, he and his daughter lived here. In a house located on the outskirts of Jakarta. Although rarely occupied, the facilities and infrastructure in this house are quite complete. There are a variety of electronic furniture, ranging from televisions attached to the wall, conventional small-sized fans, AC, water dispenser, rice cooker, air prayer, coffe making machines, and so on, and some other furniture that came crammed in the whole house.
The one-story house only had two rooms. One main room, and one regular bedroom. The house is also equipped with a living room, an all-in-one dining room with a kitchen, fireplace, comfortable reading area, as well as a kitchen bathroom with a separate laundry room. In short, the one-story house is very comfortable and ready to live. Plus there is a yard that is quite spacious and well maintained. The yard can be used as a place for his daughter healing. Therefore, there are already several pots with ready-to-plant soil media that can be used to grow crops.
“How does it feel?”
“Sweet,” replied Capella while staring at the father. “Dad want to try?”
Elgara shook his head. “Spend. It was sent the same Budhe from Malang. Apple Let alone its name, good for your health.”
Capella nodded with excitement. The apple that his father peeled did taste sweet and matched his tongue. A little bit, but no bad.
Since leaving the hospital, Elgara who lives in Jakarta had met with relatives from his parents. One of his close relatives living in Malang also heard about Elgara's divorce plans. Elgara did not explain much, but certainly he still told me if everything was okay. Elgara felt grateful that there were still relatives who cared, even though they were in a place far enough away.
Yesterday one of the relatives sent a crate of apples, especially from Malang. Manalagi apple is one of the varieties of Malang apples that taste the sweetest. Therefore, apples are usually consumed directly. Even though it is ripe, the unique skin of this apple is still yellowish. The texture of the apple is usually clay and has a little water content. The aroma of apples is also the most fragrant when compared to other apples. This apple is usually used as souvenirs, because of its old durability.
“Dad.”
“Iya?”
“Ayah ....have really sure to get divorced with Mom?” capella asked in a tone that sounded so cautious. However, he did not offend his father.
As long as he lived in the world, he could see how much affection and love his father had. It's just that his mother has abstract feelings. Hard Capella guess. However, if they do not love each other, why are they present in this world? sometimes such questions come to his mind.
“Dad is very sure,” replied Elgara without any hesitation. “You are Dad's daughter. Father's flesh and blood. Knowing what has happened to you so far, makes Dad realize that your mother is not the person you should fight for anymore. Except you, Capella.”
Elgara's hand moved, then landed on the head of the princess. Take care of it dear to the teary eyes. “Chealing soon daughter Father. You have to go to the right school, then pursue your goals. Want as high as your ideals, Dad will always try to support you to make it happen. One that I want to remind you of, never want what is not ours.”
Capella nodded obediently. The girl's eyeballs seemed to start watering. “Capella won't disappoint you again. Capella promise.”
“Daddy hold your promise,” said Elgara while dropping a kiss on the princess' forehead.
For a daughter, her first love is the father. The same goes for Capella. His first love was his father. If all this time the mother encouraged her to obsess over having Dan, deep down, Capella actually wanted a loyal male figure as well as loving as her father. There is no need to be handsome and handsome, or to hold a treasure, which is important to be loyal, loving, brave, and warm like Elgara.
Capella was hesitant to get a man like that, considering the mother had made her expectations about sincere love badly damaged. His mother only taught him to look for the perfect man to be a life partner. While not having a life partner, Capella is free to hook any man. It was this heresy that brainwashed Capella. Fortunately, he was now able to face his fear of his mother.
In addition to experiencing Obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD, Capella was later also suspected of experiencing anxiety disorder or anxiety disorder. Recalling each counseling session, if the mother's name was carried around, an expression of fear and anxiety was immediately drawn on Capella's face. For that reason, the last two months Elgara was very protective to keep Capella. When having to travel to work, Elgara asked for help from one of his relatives' sons to accompany Capella.
“Dad.”
“Iya. What's up?”
“Says Capella's friends want to come. When did they arrive?”
Elgara glanced at the wall clock that was near the television. “Should have arrived. They said they had entered the toll road, heading this way.”
Capella nodded in understanding as she went back to chewing the apple. His other hand was busy rolling in rows of small tubes containing acrylic paint, choosing colors that were suitable for coloring sketches of flower garden drawings that he had just finished making. In addition to counseling with common methods, Capella also underwent therapy through art. Painting art therapy more precisely.
Art therapy or Art Therapy is one way that can be used to cure psychology through the art of drawing, painting, coloring, sculpting, and dancing. This therapy combines psychological therapy techniques and creative processes to improve a person's mental health.
“You wait a minute. Looks like your friends have arrived.”
“Good day, Om. We came to visit.”
“Siang too, please come in.”
The sweet girl who had just greeted him thrust out her luggage before entering.
“What's this, Siha?”
“Same flower seedlings water plant seeds for aquaskep, Om.”
“Aquascape,” correction female braided two beside Siha.
“Iya, that means.”
Elgara smiled faintly as he received the hand. It has been almost a few weekends, the princess' friends come from the village to visit Capella. Luckily, Capella still has friends who care about her. Otherwise, Capella would definitely feel lonely.
“Ya. Comeon, enter. Capella is inside, drawing.”
Siha nodded enthusiastically. He entered first before the two-braided girl. In addition to them, there was also one boy Elgara had met several times in the village. Capella's friend too.
So far Elgara can still feel grateful, because Capella has friends who still believe in Capella. One of Capella's closest friends is Siha. The girl was even willing to go back and forth to the capital city of Jakarta in order to visit the friend who was doing treatment.
Since Capella already had friends at home, Elgara was then allowed to go outside for a while. He had received a call from bi Mimin, which Elgara asked to accompany Estrella. Bi Mimin calls Elgara and informs him that Estrella has been admitted to the hospital after being found bleeding in the bathroom.
Elgara has since tried as much as possible to be ordinary so that the princess does not suspect. He could only be relieved after successfully diverting the attention of the princess naturally. Now he has to rush to the hospital where Estrella is being treated.
“Bi, my wife where?”
“In, Sir,” replied the middle-aged woman named bi Mimin. The look of an anxious face was so contrasting on his face.
Just minutes after Elgara arrived, a doctor with complete PPE suddenly appeared and asked the patient's family. Elgara immediately raised his voice. After all, the family that Estrella is just herself and Capella.
“Begini, Sir. We must immediately get the approval of the father as the husband of the patient to perform the act of dilasi and curettage or curettage. This action is done to remove the fetus in the patient's stomach.”
“Wait a minute, doc.” Elgara looked puzzled as he looked at the aged male doctor before him. “What doctor mean, huh? Wasn't my wife hurt by falling in the bathroom? There are parts of his body that are cursed with blunt objects, right?”
The doctor nodded. “More precisely the stomach of your wife who hit the edge of the closet, most likely due to slipping.”
“J-so my wife is pregnant, doc?” Elgara said the sentence with a tightness that whackled the chest niches. Estrella is pregnant? why is she hiding it!
The doctor nodded. “But not for that reason the fetus in the womb of your wife can not be saved, but rather because your wife took the drug Cytotec before the event occurred.”
Elgara was surprised. “What medicine is it, doc?”
“Cytotec is a drug commonly used to prevent peptic ulcers. However, this drug is often misused, because it can be used to abort the content.”
Elgara's world crumbled as soon as he heard the words of the doctor whose insight was far more than his.
“From the lab results, in your wife's body there is the content of the drug. In addition we also need your consent to perform other procedures regarding the psychiatric of your wife.”
“Whatever my wife why else, doc?” confused, disappointed, sad, and angry gathered into one. However, Elgara had to remain level-headed in order to make a decision. He could talk about it with Estrella later. Yes, later if the woman is ready for questioning.
“It looks like your wife has psychiatric problems.”
“….”
“I know you're in shock, Sir. You must be patient. We will try our best to help your wife. I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby and wife.”
Elgara did not respond to anything. Estrella fell from the bathroom, that fact was most likely just an alibi. The woman had taken medicine to abort an innocent fetus that even her father had not known. Elgara was completely inexhaustible with the way of mind of the woman he had been married for a dozen years.
Elgara did not even know the presence of her second child, while Estrella heartlessly killed her.
The decision to divorce is quite correct. After all, Elgara can no longer bear to live with toxic women like Estrella who can kill his own flesh and blood.
