THE FORMER SHADOW
16. Discussion Ends Czechoslovakia

Badrina takes Cantara to the parking lot of a motor vehicle, while Arshaka is seen walking like a bodyguard behind Badrina. He had to make sure Badrina would not run away using another vehicle.

Arshaka drove the car at a fast speed towards Badrina's house. Created a quiet atmosphere, Badrina was hugging Cantara, they both sat on the back bench. Arshaka occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror inside not only to make sure the vehicle was from behind, but also peeked at Badrina's expression.

Arriving at home, Badrina invited Cantara in. In the living room Nuraini had been waiting for their arrival. Badrina greeted and greeted her former father-in-law. He said goodbye to go inside, while Cantara stayed in the living room.

Cantara hugged her beloved oma. There was no more sad face like in the school, Nuraini was so adept at making Cantara's heart happy.

At the school earlier, when Badrina invited Cantara to the teacher's room, Arshaka called her mother to tell her as short as possible the incident that happened to Cantara. Arshaka requests Nuraini's arrival to help Cantara channel her grief.

Cantara invited the nanny to change clothes in her room. On that occasion, Arshaka recounted events at the school including the Badrina incident with mama Parama.

"Mama can infect Badrina who does not accept Cantara made to cry by others. However, Parama is also a child who does not know that his words hurt Cantara," Nuraini said.

"Yes Ma, it's happened too. I want to see Badrina first, Ma. I asked Mama to take Canta to play so that she would be sad" Arshaka said.

Nuraini stroked her son's shoulder to give strength, not forgetting that he asked Badrina not to be constituted because the woman would definitely give resistance.

Arshaka went into the room. This is their room, not much has changed. Only the paint of his room was changed. Badrina did not lock the door, Arshaka could freely enter.

Badrina came out of the restroom. He had cleaned his body from the traces of the quarrel earlier in the Cantara school. Badrina wanted to change clothes, she saw Arshaka sitting on her dressing chair back at the table, crossing her legs.

"out! I want to change clothes" Badrina kicked out. Arshaka glanced at Badrina, "don't you hear?" asked Badrina glared.

"I want to discuss the matter. What's on your mind, to the point that you're having a physical fight with a woman?" asked Arshaka while standing over to Badrina.

"I don't want Canta to be denigrated and made cry by others" Badrina said, turning her eyes elsewhere, "my heart hurts" he added.

"That means it's all your problem. Not pure Cantara?" ask Arshaka.

"You mean?" Badrina looked at her ex-husband for an explanation.

"Yes, it's about your heart hurting, your experience hurting. Then exposed to this incident of Cantara," explained Arshaka took a position sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Sokay know!" Badrina answered. The woman walked towards her dressing table, opened the towel wrapped around her hair, put it on the next chair.

"I've read a book, bad experiences in the past can be carried away and have an effect until adulthood. Yeah, like emotions are unstable, too competitive, constantly-"

"Stop! You want to come and corner me, "Badrina doesn't accept Arshaka's judgment.

"Ck, try to discuss something with a calm heart. Is it always necessary to be angry when the opinions of others contradict your thoughts?" Arshaka who was still sitting rebuked Badrina calmly.

Badrina looked back at the mirror in front of her. He needs to maintain patience when dealing with Arshaka. The man is good at speech and has a wide viewpoint. Badrina took out a bottle of body lotion, applying it to her hands slowly. His activities did not escape Arshaka's observation.

"I'm having phobias to a psychiatrist, emotions to a psychiatrist, you think I'm not sane? You're the one who's there," said Badrina, applying the body lotion to her feet. Badrina lifted her bathrobe slightly to make it even.

"It could be," Arshaka's delirium that was immediately corrected at that time. Arshaka began to not focus on the topic of their conversation seeing Badrina's activities.

Instantly Badrina approached Arshaka, "Why do you like to hurt my feelings? I'm starting to understand why you often propose that I meet a psychiatrist, to make a diagnosis that I have a mental disorder. That's right?" Badrina's feelings are so sensitive today. Error Arshaka said as if unforgivable.

"Rina, I've been correcting it. I unconsciously called it," Arshaka stood up trying to grab Badrina's arms.

"Get out!" Badrina yelling.

Arshaka gasped, rubbing her face. This misunderstanding can last a long time if it is not resolved immediately.

"Rina...." Arshaka managed to grab onto both of Badrina's arms. The woman tried to escape by pushing Arshaka strongly so that there was attraction.

Arshaka who is sandwiched between the bed and Badrina does not have a good balance of body, plus Badrina encourages her so that the woman can escape.

Arshaka and Badrina end up landing on the bed. Badrina was still busy to escape, she even beat up Arshaka to vent her feelings of regret. Arshaka tries to evade, he stops Badrina's bullying by catching her hand.

Badrina did not remain silent, he occupied the middle body of Arshaka and continued to try to release one hand and beat Arshaka with the other.

The woman tried to bite Arshaka's hand which was gripping her wrist. Badrina's movements were completely random in venting the anger that had failed.

"Rina..," erang Arshaka. The man could not only continue to dodge, he had to act decisively to stop the blind movement of his ex-wife.

Arshaka fends off and catches Badrina's hands, then flips their positions. Arshaka pressed Badrina's hand against the bed even though she was still going on a rampage, "Rina!" The shout meant nothing, Badrina moved and raised her head and legs to let go.

"Rina! Conscious!" Arshaka shouted back in front of Badrina's face.

Badrina's movements stopped, their breath was breathless. The two of them stared at each other sharply with exhausted bodies. Arshaka is still in his position. He did not want Badrina to go berserk again when released.

The door of the room was wide open, Nuraini entered with widened eyes, after hearing Arshaka's loud cry. No knock on the door. Nuraini had thought Badrina was doing things that harmed herself.

Caregivers were asked to evacuate Cantara to the park so that the child did not see his mother who might have drooped either out of breath or blood.

Apparently, he saw Badrina drooping in a position linked to Arshaka, "What are you doing!" Now Nuraini was screaming, she touched both sides of her cheeks. Nuraini looked at how Badrina's bathrobe had been exposed and frowned upon.

The two looked simultaneously towards Nuraini who was shouting loudly. Then switch to staring at each other. Badrina shouted at her condition and position, it could be said that they were no longer husband and wife.

"Wait for you two downstairs! Now!" Nuraini's voice boomed.
