Kalea hurried to the front porch when she heard the roar of her husband's car coming home. Although never treated properly, Kalea still carried out her duties as a wife.
"Home home, Mom?" kalea asked softly with sweet-reeled lips.
"Can't you see it for yourself! Why should I ask? Huh!" ketus Zoni while slamming the briefcase are also shoes worn.
Kalea just kept quiet. His heart is a little sore. Yeah, just a little bit because things like that are common. Zoni will yell at him when there's trouble in the office.
"I took off your socks first, Mas," said Kalea remained gentle.
Zoni immediately took a sitting position on the living room table and raised his leg to give to Kalea who was currently kneeling before him.
When he was busy removing socks, Zoni spoke again. "I'm disgusted to see your face so much acne. That's why I never wanted to take you to an office. Mom said that you would definitely just embarrass." Zoni heartlessly said that.
Kalea's eyes glazed over whenever her own husband commented on her appearance. It is not just Zoni who often says this. But her mother-in-law and father-in-law did too. Not to mention Kalea's sister-in-law who always acts arbitrarily.
"I'm sorry, Mom." Only that sentence was able to come out of Kalea's mouth. His tongue was too faint to answer every insult of his husband and family.
There was an annoyed snort from Zoni. Along with that, Kalea had finished taking off the sock of the Husband. Zoni stood up and Kalea had to stand up and get rid of her body so as not to block Zoni's steps.
"Don't sleep in my room tonight! I'm upset with you" Zoni said again before leaving Kalea alone in the living room.
Without notice, a clear liquid dripped from both corners of his eyes. Is it wrong for Kalea to feel hurt in this relationship?
Actually, Kalea and Zoni got married because they loved each other. Only, the Zoni family had never condoned if Zoni married Kalea.
Kalea who only comes from a simple family, certainly does not fit with Zoni who is a rich child. In the five months of the wedding, everything seemed beautiful because her in-laws did not interfere too much.
But the more here, precisely after his marriage of almost one year, Zoni changed. Not to mention the mother-in-law and sister-in-law who every day came to the house of Kalea and Zoni just to boast of his property.
Kalea let out a rough sigh to have the tightness in her chest slightly reduced. As a woman, Kalea certainly wants to be loved and treated well. Not as of now. The former Zoni was completely different from the Zoni of today.
"I miss the old you, Mom. A time when there were only two of us in it. When you love and love me so much. In fact, I had forgotten the last time we spent time together" Kalea murmured as she wiped her sassy tears.
Not wanting to lament for too long, Kalea rushed towards the kitchen. He had to prepare dinner because it was getting late.
While in front of the sink to wash hands, Kalea saw her reflection in the mirror that was provided in front of the sink.
Kalea's eyes trace the curves of her face which is indeed overgrown with acne. Not to mention the panda eyes and bags under the eyes that look real. Kalea looks so pathetic.
Rough breaths Kalea let go then rushed to do the task.
Rolling time. Dinner time came. Kalea has arranged all the food on the table. The tail of her eyes caught the figure of her husband appearing to descend the stairs. Still with his flat look and his feet. No more smiles like before when those good times have not passed.
However, it does not reduce the good looks possessed by an Azoni Abyasa.
Instead of being happy, Zoni just seemed to dislike. His lips opened again to say something to Kalea. "Don't smile like that. I'm afraid to see it," ketus Zoni who managed to melt Kalea's sincere smile.
Kalea is like losing oxygen supply in her chest cavity. Tightness and pain at the same time ambushed part of his lungs. Trying hard and not to mind Zoni's words, Kalea smiled back and took a seat next to Zoni.
"Eat a lot, Mommy. You must be tired from working all day." After saying that, Kalea poured rice along with side dishes on Zoni's plate. Kalea smiled as Zoni this time was silent and did not protest much.
However, Kalea's guess was wrong. Zoni's scrupulousness was none other than to gather words that would make Kalea's feelings hurt again.
"Why so much rice? You think I'm a building clerk? I'm not an office worker like you whose job is just unemployment!" said the heartless Zoni.
Kalea's hand movements came to a halt in the air and looked at her husband with a wounded look. "You can tell if the rice is too much without the need to insult me who is only a housewife," Kalea replied not one bit to diminish her respect.
Zoni just clucked. Not to mention the tone of Kalea's voice that seemed like it was going to cry, making Zoni feel fed up. "Reduce the rice!" snapped Zoni echoed throughout the room.
Kalea nodded then moved to her plate. After that, only Zoni ate his food. Kalea smiled and started eating. However, just at the rice spoon that entered his stomach, Zoni's voice came back.
"Why do you smell so bad? Have you not had a shower since? Just make my appetite disappear," ketus Zoni incessantly blasphemed.
That made Kalea smell her own negligent clothes. Zoni who saw that, immediately stood up by pounding the table.
Brak!
"You how the hell? All day at home doing anything? Huh huh? Why haven't you taken a shower? Look at your own appearance! Compare that to my appearance? Are you worthy?" said Zoni bergebu.
Kalea was speechless looking at Zoni with teary eyes. Her husband had already turned rude and liked to snap. Kalea could see Zoni's gaze that was so disgusted with her.
Kalea crying. It hurts so much to get bad treatment from the people we love. If her own husband blasphemed, let alone someone else?
"Am I as disgusting as that in your eyes, Mas? To the extent that you look at me like that," Kalea muttered indistinctly as her voice was muffled by crying.
"Gahargghh!" Zoni squealed in annoyance.
"Don't cry to seek my sympathy! You think with you crying, I'll turn soft so? You should understand if I'm tired all day! And when I get home from work, I think my tiredness will go away. But there, my fatigue increased when I saw you with the appearance of a— argh!" Zoni did not finish his sentence.
Without waiting any longer or just calming down Kalea's cries, Zoni headed straight upstairs with his feet stomping in annoyance.
Kalea who was left alone, could only endure the sobs and roars of her cries. On such a silent night, Kalea felt herself again. No shoulders to lean on or ears to listen to his grievances.
Kalea felt lonely being in this vast world. The world where Kalea's feet are trampled with shakes.
